This Villain is Soft - Chapter 14

Episode 14

“Yeah, this is it. This is a gun.”

Chacha smiled with satisfaction and carefully examined the machine gun.

There were many places that had been touched up, so it was different from a normal machine gun, but anyway, it seemed that ‘Dr. Eunhaon’ was good at making weapons.

“Here’s the balance. You have to show me that you’re prepared for something so I don’t touch it rashly. Anyway, those annoying things.”

She slammed the cash down on the table, picked up the machine gun, and walked away without looking back.

‘I sold the machine gun to the villain.’

Haon felt strange.

This was the first time that the ‘Eunhaon’ commission was handed over to the villain, as Checker had not been given an address to send the item to.

‘I didn’t make it, but it feels weird.’

That alone made me feel like I had stepped into the world of villains.

‘Chacha took it to deal with villains, but would other clients do the same?’

Haon, who went down to the storage room for commissioned items with a heavy heart, paced between the iron rack and the production table.

The entire laboratory floor was dedicated to experiments and research, and this was the workshop floor, which housed a production table for commissioned items and a storage room.

‘There are also some items that are almost finished.’

Haon was absorbed in fiddling with the objects that were only in the final stages of completion.

From EMP bombs to flamethrowers that look like school backpacks to briefcases loaded with firearms.

They were all dangerous items.

‘Chacha might use that weapon the next time he robs a bank.’

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t let this fall into the hands of dangerous villains.

It was an assist in their crime.

While carefully examining the storage room structure and calculating something, Haon made an important decision.

I decided to get straight to work before other clients came looking for their items.

He walked around the storage room, fiddling with things, and then he manipulated the switch box on the workroom side.

And then, holding the large harpoon gun that was the commissioned item, he pressed the button on the wall.

‘If we make a lot of noise, the rumors will spread quickly and it will be convenient in many ways, right?’

Just like on the lab floor, the solid blinds were pulled back to reveal a glass window. It was made of tempered glass.

‘Let’s see. Put the cartridge in here, put the harpoon in, and then… … .’

I fired my harpoon gun at the glass window, recalling the material I had read about firearms last year.

Taang! Kwaak─.

“Eww!”

My body, unable to overcome the recoil, fell backwards.

The harpoon lodged itself in the glass window, but did not make a hole. The glass was thicker than it looked.

“What, what is it?”

Haon, who got up with a bewildered expression, looked around at the harpoon gun.

Bang! From the moment I heard the sound, I thought, “Huh?”

‘What made the harpoon gun have such recoil?’

I got goosebumps because I could clearly feel that what I was holding in my hand was not a hunting tool but a ‘weapon’.

‘… … I have to get rid of them all quickly.’

Haon leaned his back against the iron rack and fired the harpoon gun twice more.

As part of the glass window shattered, he poured oil over the items and carried a flamethrower on his back.

I remembered the time when I escaped from the makeshift research lab during the war.

The entire research lab was set on fire to prevent important data from falling into the hands of terrorists.

‘This is similar to that. It’ll probably explode more, but that’s okay.’

Haon took a deep breath, steeled himself, and activated the flamethrower.

Kwaaaaah!

The flamethrower spewed out fire with tremendous heat, quickly turning the storage room into a fire pit.

Fire alarms began to blare throughout the building.

‘Ugh, it’s hot!’

I hesitated in the heat, then threw the flamethrower into the fire pit and boom! There was an explosion.

The flames grew stronger and the firewall came crashing down in front of our noses.

In an instant, the heat was dissipated and the storage room and workroom were completely separated.

‘Okay!’

With this level of fire, even if everything doesn’t turn to ashes, the commissioned items won’t be left untouched.

Haon smiled proudly and clapped his hands.

* * *

Waaaaa …

Joo-yeol, who was guarding the Gaekseong-gu and searching the house of ‘Eunha-on’, flinched.

Suddenly the fire alarm started ringing.

Red lights flashed throughout the house as the research building caught fire.

‘What now?’

He narrowed his eyes and walked out of the penthouse.

“… … !”

What appeared before my eyes was black smoke rising from somewhere in the building.

‘Did the villains set the fire?’

Joo-yeol ran straight to the lab.

There have been more than a few times when I’ve wished for all the villains to die fighting each other, and Eunhaon was no exception.

Normally, I would have prayed for death at this opportunity, but now was a difficult time. Unless I raided the headquarters storage, Eunhaon was my only clue.

But the one who went down to the lab was not the usual Eunhaon, but a spoiled Eunhaon.

The only thing that Eunhaon knew how to do when dealing with villains was to cry and swing a wrench.

The tearful voice calling out, “Juyeol-ah,” and the glassy eyes came to mind.

Starting with that, a series of images that did not seem like ‘Eunhaon’ at all passed by.

‘Fuck.’

Shaking his head, he cocked his gun and quietly looked around the lab. Not a single trace of smoke could be seen.

“Tsk.”

He clicked his tongue slightly and headed downstairs. It was the first place he had ever set foot in.

‘Workshop?’

I felt a presence.

I leaned against the wall, held the gun in my hand, and cautiously entered the workshop.

Clap clap clap.

Eunhaon was standing in front of the firewall, clapping her hands excitedly.

“… … ?”

And he did so with a bright, hearty laugh.

Juyeol, whose strength had completely drained, closed his eyes tightly in despair and then opened them again.

Still, nothing changed.

A crazy galaxy was watching the fire through the transparent window of the firewall and applauding.

I looked around and couldn’t see any other villains. He was doing this alone.

“……ha.”

I felt embarrassed and astonished that I had rushed all the way here.

“What the heck.”

I tried to suppress my rising irritation and walked towards him briskly.

“hey.”

The hand that turned her slender shoulder felt fierce.

“How crazy are you going with this?”

Haon’s eyes widened.

“Huh? Joo-yeol.”

“Do you want to set it on fire now? I really want to open your head and look at it.”

As he said this through gritted teeth, Haon quickly covered his forehead with his small hand.

“Why, why? It wasn’t all in my calculations. It wasn’t something I did without thinking.”

“It must have been very calculated of you to set fire to my building.”

“That way, the clients will be convinced and get their money back.”

Joo-yeol doubted his ears, wondering what he had heard.

“I decided to burn them all because I didn’t want to hand over the scary weapons to the villains.”

“……what?”

“You can turn off the lights now.”

Whether he was confused or not, Haon manipulated a few buttons and a fountain in the workshop.

A noise like something being scattered was heard inside the firewall.

Soon, as the firewall went up, the melted figures were frozen in place.

“I guess it’s because they make dangerous things there, but the firefighting facilities are well-equipped.”

We confirmed in advance that liquid nitrogen was connected to the sprinklers on the ceiling and walls instead of water.

It is a problem if the fire goes out before everything is burned, so I made sure to operate it manually.

“The smoke came out through the window, so the clients must have known there was a fire here!”

* * *

And, as expected,

The villains who had been entrusted with the task came rushing in with pale faces. It was surprising that even in the midst of such urgency, they all came carrying a gun or a knife.

“Who are you?”

Haon rolled his eyes at the villains. He had memorized the entire list of villains, but he strongly appealed that he had lost his memories at this moment.

“Is it really that tasty?”

“The rumors are true?”

“It seems like the atmosphere has changed.”

The embarrassed clients immediately handed over a wad of money as if it was not important.

“Where’s my stuff?”

“Take the deposit and give me the item quickly.”

But instead of receiving the balance, Haon gave me money instead.

“You guessed it since you saw the fire? I’ll return your deposit as is. There’s nothing to salvage.”

“What, what does that mean? It’s all burned down?”

“Then my bone saw! Who made my projectile bone saw!”

The villains who were shaking their heads in disbelief had no choice but to give up after seeing the storage room for commissioned items burnt to the ground.

One of the villains said that he wanted to safely receive the commission even if it meant paying more for the materials.

“I can wait, so make it again.”

“I told you I don’t remember. I don’t even know how I drew the blueprints.”

Haon was consistently ignorant.

“So I decided not to take any more requests.”

The villains have driven a wedge that will make you tremble.

‘I guess everyone will soon find out that I don’t take production requests?’

After that, the villains kept coming and then went away screaming.

“Ahhh! I really need this in a few days! Don’t you have anything else? Are there any weapons left over from the ones I made?”

There was also a villain who was desperately looking for a weapon, and he was a member of the Halla Gang.

As a member of the Halla Gang, the only place he would use his weapon in a few days was the one Haon knew of.

‘Elder Solmae, isn’t this really a big problem?’

Chacha said there was no need to worry about the people living normally in the old town, but she still felt concerned.

Haon, who had been busy until the villains left the lab, decided to go to the old city district 2 on the day when the fight was supposed to break out.

“hey.”

At that moment, a voice was heard from behind without any sound.
