Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy - Chapter 294



293 – real_1

There were those who came to their senses while the world froze.

They were heroes belonging to the investigation team of the Hero Association headquarters under Chelsea Rondo.

The thing happened about ten seconds ago.

The investigation team quickly rushed out, some of them running to the collapsed wall to check on the condition of Chelsea Lawn.

The majority were trying to subdue Taylor Mabille.

But it only ended with surrounding them.

The investigation team also knew that Taylor Marvell would not be able to act normally even with one arm cut off.

Still, Taylor Marvel was an S-class, while the majority of the investigation team were between C- and B-class.

It is common knowledge that the difference in power between S-class and lower class is as great as the difference between heaven and earth.

It was because they knew full well that they were no match for us no matter what, so they were scared.

Also, among them, Taylor Marvel is a certified S-class hero, so I thought there might be some hidden reason.

“Taylor, what on earth are you doing!! Why did you attack Chelsea Rond? If you are dissatisfied with the results of our investigation, please report it directly to the Hero Association headquarters…”

However, there was no way to deny that this was an excessive act, even if there was a reason for it.

So a man stood before Taylor Marvel.

He is the deputy team leader of the investigation team.

It was Heil Gregg who served as Chelsea London’s chauffeur.

He asked Taylor Marvell with a serious expression to explain what he had just done.

“The attack was just a simple stun.”

“Fainting? That can’t be happening, right?”

Heil Greg denied.

The attack Taylor Marvel showed earlier was more than just a stun.

It was an attack with such power that even an A-class would not be safe if it had touched them.

Of course, since I wasn’t directly exposed to the attack.

Actually, it may be as Taylor Mabille said.

Looking at the wall behind Chelsea Lawn, which was so wide open that it gave a clear view of the outside, as if you were in an open field.

‘The possibility of that happening is close to zero.’

So Chelsea Ronde, who was directly exposed to that attack, is at least in a state of near-death.

In severe cases, the possibility of death could not be ruled out.

In other words, Taylor Marvel committed murder, and he did so by murdering the head of the Hero Association’s investigation team at a press conference.

It was never an easy transition.

That’s why Heil Greg didn’t back down even an inch.

“Even if you’re Taylor Marvel, this…”

“Chelsea Ronde is safe.”

“It looks like you fainted for a moment due to the shock wave.”

Then the investigation team members who went to check the condition of Chelsea London shouted.

“yes?”

Heil Greg stopped what he was about to say and changed his subject.

“…Even so, you must explain why you caused such a ruckus at the press conference.”

“What explanation? Didn’t I already explain it?”

Taylor Marvell reacted to Greg’s words as if he had heard something ridiculous.

It was as if I had explained everything, but you guys didn’t understand because you were lacking in knowledge.

Seeing that, Haile Greg actually felt like he was the one at fault.

“Explanation? You have to explain it properly so that we can understand, so that we can defend Taylor…”

But Heil Greg, who was more certain than anyone that this could not be true, continued to demand an explanation as to why such a thing had been done.

“What if you won’t do it?”

If that’s the case, there’s only one way.

Taylor Marvel must be subdued.

Even if that is impossible.

For what reason.

It also didn’t make sense that Taylor Marvel would do something like this when he was in the position of revealing who had attacked him.

Because not taking action would be tantamount to admitting to the world that these actions were legitimate.

Heil Greg opened his mouth, swallowing hard as he vowed.

“…you will have to deal with us.”

“You guys?”

Taylor Marvell glanced at the investigation team surrounding him and smiled.

To be exact, he laughed.

The current situation was not much different from ants standing in front of an elephant and threatening it that it would get hurt if it did not listen to them.

“That’s right.”

The press conference room was bustling.

It was because an immense amount of mana was pouring out of Taylor Marvel’s body.

“Wow!”

“Is it an earthquake?”

“I suddenly feel heavy.”

Because of that, the reporters at the press conference came to their senses and started to panic.

“Ugh.”

“I can’t stand it…”

The investigation team members who were directly affected by the mana at close range began to collapse one by one, unable to withstand the pressure.

“…”

However, Heil Greg just stood there motionless, glaring at Taylor Marvel.

Of course, that doesn’t mean I wasn’t scared of the current situation or that there wasn’t any pressure on my body.

My reason and instincts were sounding the alarm that I might die.

But I couldn’t back down.

That’s why I held on and held on.

“Just kidding.”

How much time has passed?

Taylor Marvel, who was looking at Heil Greg, smiled again.

This time it wasn’t a mocking smile, but a smile of interest.

At the same time, the press conference room stopped shaking.

“Please bring me a chair.”

“…yes?”

“With your arms like this, wouldn’t it be uncomfortable to stand still?”

Taylor Marvel flailed his severed arm.

“What is that…”

“Didn’t you say you wanted to hear the reason? But you’re explaining it while standing?”

“Ah… Okay, I understand.”

But it was a situation I didn’t understand.

I didn’t even know what it meant.

Heil Greg nodded.

Chelsea Ronde, who was thought to be dead, is also fine.

All Taylor Marvel did was break down a wall.

If we weren’t going to fight here, it was time to listen to the story first.

**

The Okinawa incident is receiving extraordinary public attention.

If not careful, it could have escalated into a war between major powers.

When a war breaks out, the aftermath of that war is hard to avoid no matter where you are in the world, unless you live in a remote mountainous region.

That’s why when Chelsea Rondo made a big announcement about the incident, broadcasters around the world got unprecedented ratings.

And I thought it would spike and then go down depending on what the big announcement was about.

Anyone who is interested will have already looked it up.

Since it was an incident of this magnitude that was not reported, I thought that unless there were unavoidable circumstances, it would not be possible to attract attention no matter what.

“Total broadcast viewership ratings 70. 71. 72. 73. 74… and it keeps rising.”

But the prediction was wrong.

“There’s so much traffic on the Internet that I think it’s going to explode if it keeps up like this.”

It kept going up.

It went up endlessly.

To be honest, I felt like everyone who could watch the broadcast was watching this major announcement.

The broadcasting station people thought it was a ridiculous situation.

On the one hand, I understood.

If you look at the scene that is being broadcast right now, it couldn’t be helped.

It all starts with the sudden appearance of S-class hero Taylor Marvel, who was said to have gone missing, at a press conference where a major announcement was to be made about the incident.

[…Isn’t that right, fake gentleman?]

Didn’t that S-class hero suddenly attack Chelsea Rondo, the head of the Hero Association Headquarters Investigation Team, after hearing the announcement?

[The one who attacked me was not an S-class member of the Eastern Army Alliance.]

Aren’t you denying the results of the association’s investigation?

[Which villain organization is it? I don’t know the name, but that villain organization is…]

In fact, it was an attack by a dark villain organization that you would only see in movies, dramas, or novels.

Their goal is to open the gate and destroy the world.

[The reason for attacking Chelsea Ronde is simple. The Chelsea Ronde that is there now is fake.]

There’s even a twist that explodes there.

It felt like watching the middle part of a blockbuster movie, so I didn’t understand how it happened, but it was enough to raise the ratings.

“Director. The scheduled broadcast time is over. What about the next broadcast…”

“What are you asking? Cancel it.”

Director Bang Il-man responded resolutely to his subordinate’s report.

It is an urgent matter.

It was also the work of the neighboring country’s Donggun Alliance.

The scale of the incident is so great that it covers the ocean.

And the public’s attention is focused on it so much that it could explode.

Who cares about the dramas or entertainment programs that will be broadcast after that?

“And turn all other channels, internet YouTube channels, etc. into press conferences. Invite more experts. Military experts and hero experts would be good.”

Ride the big wave.

I have no choice but to burn.

Of course, the press conference is not divided into two parts.

You can’t keep sucking it, but if you keep sucking it, you can make it last for several months.

And the feeling of being alone in Japan was speaking.

The ratings will continue to rise.

That something more was going to happen.

[You don’t believe Chelsea Rondo is fake? Then just pull the skin off her face and the truth will come out.]

And then, after waiting for so long, it exploded.

It finally blew up.

[That won’t work.]

In a different direction.

[Because she’s shy.]

A familiar blonde woman barged into the press conference room.

Bang Il-man and the broadcasting station.

No, the world is in an uproar again.
