These little details are critical.
As I suddenly apologize and bow my head, I can feel the crowd holding their breath.
Straightening up, I continued speaking.
“Although I’m not directly responsible for the act, I feel a great sense of responsibility for these copycat crimes that have arisen due to my past actions.”
The hostages’ mouths were agape.
The atmosphere starts to buzz.
[?????????]
[What on earth is he saying?]
[Is this… the villain? What kind of villains have I been seeing up until now?]
The chat box was in utter confusion.
It was like watching parents react to their child, who had only ever caused trouble, suddenly study hard for 50 days and then come home brandishing an acceptance letter from Seoul National University.
Regardless, I carried on.
“Ladies and gentlemen, you were not really part of my plan, so please feel free to go home. I plan to send 1 million won to the accounts of those who have suffered because of me, so please check.”
[??? What is this nonsense???]
[Compensation for damages? What’s this ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[Mom, I’m gonna be a hostage when I grow up! Mom, I’m gonna be a hostage when I grow up! Mom, I’m gonna be a hostage when I grow up! Mom, I’m gonna be a hostage when I grow up! Mom, I’m gonna be a hostage when I grow up! Mom, I’m gonna be a hostage when I grow up!]
[Is this… terrorism? What kind of terrorism have I been subjected to all this time?]
“Regrettably, for the three individuals who have lost their lives, I will be sending 10 million won each. Don’t worry about the accounts; I know them all.”
I was right when I said I have money.
It wasn’t the case before, but now, the thing I’m best at is throwing around money.
[Just… ten million won?]
[Damn, ten million won seems low for a life…]
[??? Isn’t ten million won a lot considering Egoistic here didn’t even kill them?]
[Is that right? But still, ten million won as death compensation seems a bit…]
[But he didn’t kill them, you know ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
Looking at the chat, I regretted not saying I would give away 100 million… But it’s too late now; the transfer is already waiting to be processed.
How do I know the accounts, you ask? Wouldn’t the genius hacker Seo Eun take care of that somehow? I trust Seo Eun will handle it.
[….sigh…]
It felt like I could hear a sigh through my in-ear, but that had to be my imagination. Must be.
Having said all I needed to say, I turned to look behind me.
There was a nameless female follower still shivering in fear.
Leaving her here might get her killed or she might cause more trouble… Should I tie her up and keep her here…
[Brother, just take that woman with you.]
Suddenly, I hear Seo Eun’s voice through the in-ear.
Take her with me? This girl? Why?
Yet I couldn’t audibly question it here.
In front of hundreds of people, mumbling to myself would just look bad…
[She looks like someone I know. If it’s the person I’m thinking of, she could be a great help, so it would be best to bring her along.]
Hmm, alright.
If Seo Eun is speaking this firmly, there must be a good reason.
“Miss? You will come with me.”
“Hiieeeeeek?”
The woman who made a bizarre crying sound was lifted into my arms.
While holding the struggling woman, I waved goodbye to the people.
“Then, farewell.”
At the same time, I spread my cape in front of me,
And in that instant, I disappeared.
[What, is it over?]
[The ending felt a bit flat… I give it a 6/10]
[Release Kim Sun-woo! Release Kim Sun-woo! Release Kim Sun-woo! Release Kim Sun-woo! Release Kim Sun-woo! Release Kim Sun-woo! Release Kim Sun-woo! Release Kim Sun-woo!]
[Seeing this spam, I’ve decided to execute Kim Sun-woo.]
===[Broadcast has ended]===
And with that, even this dizzying broadcast came to an end.
***
[Villain takes responsibility and compensates with money? Hostages’ bank account verifications trickling in. Egoistic, what sort of person is he?]
