This Villain is Soft - Chapter 101
Only Noblemtl
Episode 101
At first, I thought that the two-shot was caused by some of the subordinates suffering from the side effects of the potion and dying.
However, even after thoroughly searching District 3, the bodies of his subordinates were not found.
When I asked Bae An-jae, he responded indifferently as if it was no big deal.
“A few of Rusty’s men escaped, where do you think they’re buried?”
From the two-shot, Bae An-jae also looks suspicious.
I heard that he was found dead, but it was strange that he suddenly appeared before my eyes.
It’s not uncommon in the old town for people to pretend to be dead and then reappear after hiding, so even if we let it slide, there was something really incomprehensible.
I clearly saw him go into the alley on the right, but as I was walking, I saw him popping out from the alley on the left.
At first I thought they looked similar because they dressed differently, but I was not mistaken.
One of his subordinates said that Bae An-jae was making potions in the western warehouse, while another subordinate said that Bae An-jae was inspecting the underground passage.
I just came up from the basement where Rusty and his men were locked up, talking to Bae An-jae.
This wasn’t the first or second time something like this had happened.
In addition, late at night, there were times when painful groans and occasional screams could be heard from the upper floor where Halo and Sniper were staying.
When the day dawned and he asked what had happened, Halo asked him what he meant instead.
I wondered if it was something like sleepwalking, so I asked my subordinates, but they all shook their heads and said they hadn’t heard anything.
Two-shot is something I heard alone.
He kept urging his subordinates to stop fooling around, and there were even rumors that Twoshot was possessed by a ghost.
‘I really heard it! How could that be an auditory hallucination!’
Twoshot wondered what could make a woman scream, called the Order of the Villains.
No matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t seem like a person. It probably wasn’t money either.
Wouldn’t you be able to withstand torture quite well?
Then, what was left was really just one ghost.
‘What about ghosts? Where in the world is there such a thing? Even if there were, wouldn’t bullets be scarier than ghosts?’
Twoshot tried to shake off the feeling of uneasiness by rolling the bullet in his hand over and over again.
My face in the mirror was a rough mess.
These days, the only person who looked good was Bae An-jae. Even Halo had a bad complexion, and the sniper looked strangely listless.
When I first met Bae An-jae in Weaver’s office.
“I’ll let you kill Rusty yourself as a deposit. All his men are under my control.”
What he said was clearly meant to draw Weaver in. Weaver was the one who had the worst relationship with Rusty.
However, Weaver did not respond to the offer, saying he was not interested, so we were able to bring Bae An-jae and Halo into Sector 3, but that still bothered me.
‘In fact, weren’t you working with Weaver separately to sneak my men to Area 5? Didn’t you tell them to close Area 3 so they wouldn’t get caught?’
I had turned my back on the hero headquarters and the hunters, so if I got hit in the back of the head within the closed 3rd district, there was no way I could survive.
I gritted my teeth so hard that the two-shot made a crunching sound.
‘Did I trust a stranger too much, which is unusual for me? I wonder what he’s doing. He keeps bringing in some weird experimental equipment, and he reminds me of Dr. Eunhaon from a few months ago… . . . ‘
Just then a mechanical grasshopper flew past the office window.
As I watched the red laser scan the darkness, I suddenly felt a sense of stability and trust.
‘Yeah. That can’t be. They make those machine warts and even supply potions for cheap.’
I was adamant that the potion’s source was Eunhaon, but it turned out to be Baeanjae.
I don’t know how he, a rehabilitation center counselor, learned such skills without anyone knowing, but judging from the way he and Eunhaon fought, it seemed like they were both in the same industry.
‘So what if some of the subordinates disappear? Stronger mechanical warts will take their place.’
Since these guys know all the shortcuts and holes, it wouldn’t be completely impossible for them to escape out of the old city without a trace.
‘Run away. Do you think their fate will change if they leave this world and settle their differences? They will eventually return to the old town and die here.’
Only then did Twoshot feel relieved and put down the bullet with a chuckle.

“Tch. He’s dead.”
At the same time, Bae An-jae pushed the patient’s bed away with an annoying gesture.
The trundle bed was pushed against the wall, and a pale hand dropped down. It was the body of a two-shot man whose breath had stopped.
“I told you, guys who have lost a lot of blood can’t do that.”
As Bae An-jae 2 grumbled, Bae An-jae 3 brought in another patient bed. Another subordinate of Two Shot was lying there with a gag in his mouth.
“Should I do this when he hasn’t even drawn blood yet?”
“What a waste. Let’s just pull it out once and use it.”
At Bae An-jae’s words, Bae An-jae 3 shrugged his shoulders and dragged the bed towards the other wall.
Then, Bae An-jae 4 injected a potion into the gagged man with a syringe.
“Eww! Eww!”
The man struggled, but the potion quickly spread through his blood vessels, turning his fingertips blue.
Bae An-jae 3 didn’t miss the moment and attached a blood collection pack to the man and started drawing his blood.
Along the wall next to it, Twoshot and Rusty’s men were tied to beds in a row, drawing blood.
Bae An-jae, who was watching with satisfaction the blood of the short-term awakened people gradually accumulating, turned his eyes to the monitor.
A failed experiment was just being recorded.
“You keep dying in the same place. Was there anything useful for Dr. Eun’s research records?”
When Bae An-jae 2 sighed, Bae An-jae answered with regret.
“It was useful, but it might have been better if Eunhaon was there.”
“You weren’t planning on killing him?”
“It’s better to kill them than to make them enemies. It’s better to make them worse than dying… … .”
He stopped talking and frowned. Halo had come down to the lab.
She said, frowning at the horrifying sight inside.
“The sniper’s condition is slowly improving. His fever has barely gone down. Are you sure you’re treating him properly?”
“How many times do I have to tell you that that’s for the best? He was just born that way.”
Bae An-jae replied nervously as if he was bored, then added with a laugh at Halo’s cold expression.
“If you quit, your daughter will die anyway. If that’s what you want, quit right now.”
“… … .”
Halo suppressed the urge to grab his neck right away.
If the potion he made hadn’t worked on the sniper, I wouldn’t have felt so humiliated here.
“When the experiment is over, come up and check the condition.”
At that moment, Halo turned around, swallowing his anger and responding.
“While you’re here, why don’t you draw some blood? I’ll have to use it on your daughter.”
Bae An-jae pointed to the place where the gang members were having their blood drawn.
Halo impulsively gathered the glowing halo in his palm and barely managed to pull his foot away.
“Okay.”
And he went to the front of Bae An Jae 4 and rolled up his sleeves.

“Sister. Sister?”
“… … Huh, huh?”
Ha-on, who was sitting blankly in the office in District 1, came to his senses when a hand tapped his shoulder.
Bunny nodded and waved his hand in front of my eyes.
“Sister. Why are you so absent-minded today?”
“Is that so?”
I responded as if I didn’t know, but Haon actually knew that I was sitting there blankly today.
“Well, later… … it would be better if there was a house where the two of us could live.”
“Later… …the two of us… ….”
“later…….”
It was because Joo-yeol’s words kept coming to mind.
I was happy to be included in the ‘later here’ group, but at the same time, my heart was in turmoil.
‘I think I should tell her I’m going home. But when? How?’
Ha-on, who was about to lose himself in thought again, remembered that Bunny was next to him and pulled himself together.
“I’m sorry. I kept you up last night.”
It may have sounded like a lame excuse, but it really did keep me up at night.
After watching Juyeol’s back for a while as he lay down to sleep, I fell asleep. It seemed like Juyeol hadn’t been able to fall asleep for a long time either.
“Can you say that again?”
When I said it with an apologetic expression, Bunny’s expression quickly disappeared and he opened his mouth with an embarrassed expression.
“Why don’t you make a world history course available at the academy? History classes are so much fun.”
“Of course! I’ll have it done by this week.”
“Really? Thank you, sis!”
An excited Bunny hugged Haon’s shoulders.
Every time Haon saw Bunny having fun learning, his heart swelled with pride that was hard to express in words.
Now I feel like I’m finally enjoying some of the things I know as a normal student.
Haon began to think deeply as he sat across from Bunny, laughing and talking about which lectures were interesting.
‘I have to make sure you have a good time when I leave. There are so many things I want to do for you.’
To do that, I had to deal with Bae An-jae first. I had to catch him somehow and take him back to my hometown.
It’s not too late to remodel the portal for two. It’ll take a little more time, but if this place is to be safe, that person must be gone.
‘I have to go hack it again soon.’
Just as Haon was deciding to hit the port first, Chacha burst open the door and came in.
“Galaxy On!”
She spoke urgently, barely able to catch her breath.
“The two-shot hit Zone 5!”
