Episode 26: K-Villain
“Aaaaaaaah!!!”
A crocodile villain collapses, screaming in agonizing pain.
After inhaling the poison gas, staggering as if drunk,
he finally falls with a thud.
…
Seeing him not moving afterward,
Hmm, is he dead?
It was an anticlimactic exit, nothing like his dramatic entrance.
An incredibly effective counter, too.
“…Yes! Ladies and gentlemen, yet another one has gone to hell. Thank you, thank you.”
[Mangostick! Mangostick! Mangostick! Mangostick!]
[These days’ villain trend) Other villains come to terrorize, but they end up being taken down instead]
[The Hero Association should designate Mangostick as a hero right away. I’ve said it 3216 times.]
[Lol, can already see today’s 9 PM news headlineㅋㅋㅋ]
[Now there’s going to be an influx of those patriotic TV videos on YouTubeㅋㅋㅋ]
The chatroom starts to flood with praises for me.
Sure, I stepped in because I didn’t want Stardust to become infamous and fall into a ruined state from this incident, but the viewers don’t know that.
I can’t exactly tell the truth with, ‘I intervened for Stardust,’ or else I’ll end up making the news tonight with season 2 of my dating scandal.
So, there’s only one thing to do: assert my version of the story.
Simply put, that bastard provoked me and got what he deserved.
“Ahem… Everyone. I didn’t exactly take this guy down for public service. It was just that he publicly insulted me, and I dealt with him. Like the time when my followers gathered, and this time too, he crossed the line I set. There’s no other reason, understand?”
I said this seriously, putting on a certain tone of voice.
[Yeah, sure you didㅋㅋㅋ]
[Thank you for loving the villain EgoStick until now. From this moment on, I will be known as the hero Mangostick. Thank you.]
[Tsundere muchwww]
Of course, my viewers aren’t really the kind to understand even if I explain. Yes, keep thinking that way.
I smirked ambiguously while looking at the chatroom. Will you still feel the same next month?
“Hmm… Anyway, someone better come remove this poison gas quickly. Not that I really know how.”
Crocodileman was lying unconscious amongst the lingering clouds of deadly gas. Dead or not? Well, he’s probably dead.
I rummage through my bag and put on a gas mask. This is why you should always be prepared. That gas would kill me if I breathed it in, I’m that weak.
I started repacking the firearms into the bag. Using telekinesis would have looked cooler but I’ve hit my limit. I can no longer use my powers.
How much effort have I put in today? Teleporting here and back to drop off Seo-eun and Soobin at home. It’s really not easy. I’m almost completely drained. Plus, the continuous teleporting while fighting that crocodile guy drained me even more.
As a result, my body handed in its resignation. If I used my powers one more time, I’d collapse on the spot, warned the report. Just a little telekinesis, and I could collapse and wake up in East Carcer, the special containment facility for powerful individuals. Although Seo-eun could bust me out of there with a bang… it’s not yet time to go in.
So, here I am, like a gleaner, picking up each gun with my hands and packing them into my bag. Oh, the toil.
[Lol, he was practically flying around earlier, why is he now picking up each gun by hand?]
[For realㅋㅋ What’s he even trying to do?]
Keep it down, will you?
You don’t know the depths of my circ*mstances…
As I was about to finish packing up the guns,
I spotted something flying towards me from afar.
Blonde hair fluttering, she flew in rapidly—Stardust.
She must have flown here in a hurry, sweating profusely.
“*Huff…*”
