Chapter 90: How To Conquer A Villain (3)
As eternal as the East Sea and Baekdu Mountain, I felt refreshed after spending some patriotism time with Gunggi.
“So, have you recovered your magic power?”
“It’s fully charged.”
The magic power transferred from Gunggi was in my body. To be precise, I had reclaimed the magic power I’d previously put into her body.
The bodies of the executives were filled with my magic power, and the executives were able to use a stronger power with my magic power. The explanation was a bit complex, but now was not the time to explain.
“You know that the worst thing is to give and take back, right?”
“Please overlook this. As compensation, I’ll refill it right after this work ends.”
“I’m kidding. From the position of asking for help, I can’t say such a stingy thing.”
“But why are you saying this?”
“If I say this, the chief will promise to refill it.”
I was caught. Gunggi winked and lifted her teacup, and I made a verbal promise to refill her magic power immediately.
“I guess I can’t go straight to Seoul.”
“I’ll give you a ride when I cross over to Gimpo Airport by a charter plane. Then, won’t you be able to go comfortably without being tracked?”
“Please carry the bike, too.”
“Of course. Then, can I start the briefing now?”
“Just a moment.”
I asked Gunggi for her understanding and closed my eyes.
‘Status window.’
To check my current status, I put my physical condition on my eyelid.

It had increased very slightly. The grade had not increased at all, and the ability values had only changed in the front digits. While the magic power had shown the most noticeable growth due to continuous usage, the other areas hadn’t increased significantly to my satisfaction.
Of course, expecting a significant increase in such a short time seemed unreasonable, but human greed was endless.
‘The strengthening of the body and the ability score are completely different.’
I think my physical strength and endurance were decent, but the problem was that this was based on the standard of ability users.
Compared to ordinary people, I was naturally comparable to Hercules and Hulk, but when it came to real A-grade strength or endurance, you could lift and swing a ten-story building single-handedly.
Regrettably, I couldn’t do that. Smashing everything with the Goblin Bat was not physical strength but magic power, a technique using special abilities.
At least I wanted to increase my magic power a little more. The power I used most was imagination; to make that imagination real, I needed magic power.
‘Well, that’s also being greedy.’
This was tremendous growth compared to others whose figures did not increase by 1 in a month. And the indicators shown in the status window do not reveal everything about me.
“The absorption is over.”
“It seems my magic power has been mixed in a bit, but that’s not what I intended?”
“We’re still guessing. Or perhaps they were acting for the benefit of this country alone within the organization. After all, Hwalbindang is a group that only thinks of this country’s interests.”
Their motives might be different, but they were similar to Duoexini. If the group that Duoexini belonged to aims to demonize all other things to make Korea great, then Hwalbindang was an organization focusing on rooting out domestic corruption.
“... It’s a bit surprising that Hwalbindang acted rather than Wi Jeong Cheoksa. Given the current situation, it would seem more appropriate for Wi Jeong Cheoksa to act.”
“I agree. In that regard...Wi Jeong Cheoksa might be making a move as we speak.”
“Really?”
“Yes. It’s a hunch.”
“...... That’s what I was hoping for.”
It was good timing.
Apart from the Yumir issue, I was thinking that Duoexini needed to be taken down. If Wi Jeong Cheoksa appears, the execution would be more definitive.
“Whether it’s Hwalbindang, Wi Jeong Cheoksa, or whoever, I’ll handle it. What’s my assigned mission?”
“To execute the villain. The target is... it’s a bit of a complex situation.”
Gunggi scratched her head as if she was explaining something annoying.
“Yuliana Faygreen caused an accident, Hwalbindang is targeting Yuliana, Wi Jeong Cheoksa has an opportunity to intervene since a foreign company’s person caused an accident. And for the organization, the goal is to keep the current world’s flow as undisturbed as possible for world conquest.”
“Looking at how roundabout your explanation is, it seems like the situation has turned really messy?”
“Exactly. Right now, the organization...needs to ‘protect’ Yuliana Faygreen.”
“What?”
All of a sudden?
“Protect her from Hwalbindang?”
“Yes. It would be troublesome if Yuliana Fairgreen died in Korea. If the granddaughter of October Travel is killed by a Korean villain, it could become an international issue.”
“So it doesn’t matter if she dies outside of Korea, abroad?”
“Yes. Whether she goes back to her country and lives or dies is none of our concern, but the act she’s committed right now has created quite a horrific situation.”
“Seeing you reluctant to explain, it seems like a particularly unsavory matter.”
“...Yes.”
Gunggi didn’t like discussing such topics.
“It would be problematic if October Travel crumbles. While people like Stern don’t have much influence in Korea, if October Travel goes under, most flights to Gangwon Province will be stopped. Then, the organization’s revenue from the Gangwon Province region would considerably decrease.”
“So I’ve become a bodyguard out of the blue.”
“Correct. It’s an annoying situation.”
Yet, taking on this role was for the benefit of the organization as a whole.
“So what treasure did Yuliana steal? Some traditional pottery made by a craftsman?”
“The problem is what’s inside. That’s...”
Gunggi showed the face of another person.
“Do you know who this is?”
“...’ Armored Taejo?’”
The President’s grandson.
An S-class hero.
A troublemaker in a powered dragon suit.
He was not a villain.
Just his actions were on a troublesome level.
“What’s his relationship with this situation?”
“Yuliana stole this man’s DNA. And now, she’s trying to flee to another country.”
“.......”
No way.
