This Villain is Soft - Chapter 22
Only Noblemtl
Episode 22
His gloves were adorned with rows of sharp spikes.
‘I can’t stop a fist… …!’
Haon’s face turned pale.
At that moment, I was racking my brain trying to figure out how to turn my head so that I could quickly come to my senses after getting hit.
“I thought about it, but it still won’t work.”
A hand shot out from the side with a soft voice and grabbed Checker’s chin harshly.
“No, Nova? When in Korea, ugh─.”
Nova lifted the checker lightly, keeping his gaze fixed on Haon.
Checker, struggling with the force and weight on his jaw, stabbed Nova’s arm with the Balisong knife, but he did not budge.
The pure white villain opened his mouth towards Haon, who was looking up at him with a blank expression.
“babe.”
Tendons and veins stood out on the back of his hand, which had never seemed to feel the weight of the checkers.
“You love me too.”
Blood spurted onto Haon’s cheek with a squeaking sound.
“If you don’t want to die.”
He smiled beautifully against the backdrop of a short scream and pulled out the knife stuck in his arm.
Checker, who had fallen to the floor with his back to the ground, did not even groan, as if he had lost consciousness.
Haon, who had turned pale, stepped back while sitting down.
A bright red warning light went on in my head.
It’s dangerous.
He is a much more dangerous person than the bosses of the old city.
“Are you hurt? Is it because it’s hard to get up?”
A devil wearing a white angel mask gently asked and woke Haon up.
His small shoulders trembled as the blood on his hands soaked through his shirt sleeve.
“Hey, let this go.”
He didn’t stop her from trying to break free from his grasp, but he tilted his head in puzzlement.
“Why are you pushing me away? Even if you do that, you’ll still be sleeping in the same bed.”
“Huh? What is that, it wouldn’t be like that?”
“Honey. When did you keep following me around and trying to seduce me in every way possible, and now you come here and pretend not to know?”
“You know it’s not me, it’s another ‘Galaxy On’.”
“Well, I don’t know since Dr. Eun is the only one here.”
“Why do you keep calling me that?”
When Haon held the phone tightly and squinted his eyes, he laughed as if he found it amusing.
“Don’t call me honey. Then what do you call me? Do you want a different nickname?”
“… … .”
Haon kept his mouth shut at Nova’s attitude, which was completely incomprehensible.
Are all the friendly people in this neighborhood weird?
When I met him in the lab, he wasn’t this unreasonable, but I wondered if he was really like this.
There was some speculation as to why he was doing this.
“No matter what, I don’t accept requests.”
“Forget that blueprint.”
“… … That’s not why you’re doing this? Hey, don’t come near me and talk over there!”
Nova, who was closing the distance and reaching out, didn’t stop even though he looked very wary.
“Hey, don’t come any closer!”
A round mana bullet fired from Haon’s cell phone struck Nova.
Phew!
Nova, who was floating and pushed away, was slammed into the wall.
Haon bit his trembling lips and hurriedly tried to leave.
‘I have to get out of here while you’re passed out.’
But my feet froze at the sound coming from behind me. The sound of laughter filled the dark street with an eerie atmosphere.
As I turned my stiff back, Nova was fixated on me. Joy flashed across her golden eyes.
“babe.”
“… … !”
As Ha-on hesitated with goosebumps running down his spine, he approached her leisurely.
“This is exactly what I want. To create a new weapon filled with love─.”
Taang!
Then, out of the blue, a gunshot rang out and I quickly stepped back.

Joo-yeol took his hands off the Hanra gang member with a disgruntled expression.
The man who was held by him with his arms broken ran away in a panic, swearing at him.
I questioned a few members of the Halla gang in District 2, but to no avail.
I wanted to know where he was, since he was said to be a famous arsonist 10 years ago, but he must be wandering around since he hasn’t been here for very long.
They all said they didn’t know where Gowon was or what he was doing.
Since he is not a member who is trusted enough to be entrusted with important tasks, he may be being pushed around doing errands.
‘Thank goodness we didn’t end up fighting today.’
Among the residents of District 2 who confronted the Halla Gang, there were villains, so I was worried that he might be dead.
‘Come to think of it, Eunha-on was acting like she was going to see Solmae, but isn’t she still in the old town…?
Joo-yeol, who was riding his bike, suddenly realized that he was near Sol-mae’s clinic and stopped.
‘When did you get here?’
A crack appeared between his eyebrows as he was about to turn around. He felt uneasy and couldn’t move his feet.
After tapping the handlebars and making a face for a while, I ended up getting off the bike.
‘It would be a problem if he died. He’s in a bad state right now, so I’m checking just in case.’
Juyeol grumbled with a pouty face and walked towards the building where Solmae lived.
As I turned the corner, hiding in the shadows, what I saw was Eunhaon. And Nova.
“… … .”
I felt uneasy at the appearance of an unexpected character. It was the return of a villain who was difficult to deal with.
I don’t know what they were doing here, but the most famous couple on the scene was there together.
‘I haven’t gotten anything from the doctor yet, and this is annoying.’
Eunhaon’s courtship record was quite splendid. So it was obvious that she would return to her original cruel and vicious self when she met Nova.
It definitely should be that way.
Strangely, Haon’s gestures were still awkward and his hand gestures were also hesitant.
‘It doesn’t seem like things are okay?’
Even if I hadn’t come to my senses yet, I would have fallen in love with him again once I met him and would have chased him persistently.
Joo-yeol, who was continuing to make plausible guesses, suddenly felt annoyed at the sight of Nova staring at Ha-on.
‘I get angry just looking at his face. But I found out that he came back sooner rather than later, so it wasn’t a waste of time.’
The uneasy feeling that brought me here might have been because of Nova.
There was nothing to be gained by staying here any longer. As I was thinking that and turning around, I heard Haon’s frightened voice clearly.
“Hey, don’t come any closer!”
A blue sphere burst out from nowhere and pushed Nova against the wall.
‘… …Fuck. What is that?’
Juyeol, startled by the unexpected situation, took a few steps closer from the shadows.
Something was strange. When I looked closely, Haon’s expression as he looked at Nova was unfamiliar.
Rather than being happy, it seemed like she was trying to get away from him.
“babe.”
“… … !”
When Nova dusted herself off and approached Haon, she saw him trembling with a tearful expression.
Joo-yeol aimed his gun naturally, though he was hesitant.
‘Is it your hobby to whine in front of anyone?’
I wondered if it was right to intervene, but the fierce face that didn’t match the bloodstains urged me to pull the trigger.
“This is exactly what I want. Made with love─.”
Taang!
With a gunshot, Juyeol appeared out of the shadows.
“What are you doing, you rascal? If you were here, go and have a drink. You’re so dirty, I can’t stand to see you.”
Haon, who had been blankly staring at the spot where the bullet had been lodged, turned his head towards him.
The pale, emaciated face was revealed more clearly. It was a face that, until recently, I had thought looked eerily good with bloody hands and a blood-splattered face.
Joo-yeol, whose eyes met Ha-on’s, couldn’t shake off the thought of whether he had done the right thing, even as he adjusted his grip on the gun.
What if pushing Nova away was just part of a lover’s quarrel?
What if he just complained about being so late?
“Hey, Joo-yeol!”
But she ran to Juyeol with a happy and relieved face and hid behind his back.
Joo-yeol couldn’t help but laugh in vain because he couldn’t find any hesitation in the whole process.
“Have you no integrity?”
Ha-on pouted his lips at the ridiculous tone, telling her not to tease him. Then he noticed that the arm he was holding onto was damp.
“… … ?”
Ha-on turned his palm over and was startled by the faint traces of blood.
“Are you hurt?”
“It’s nothing.”
“Are you bleeding?”
“Did you two have an affair while I was away?”
Nova, who had been watching silently, asked with a puzzled look.
Joo-yeol almost dropped the gun because of the dizzy feeling.
“Crazy, I hear all kinds of nonsense.”
“Ghost. You’re not saying you don’t know what kind of relationship Dr. Eun and I have, are you?”
“How could you not know? If it was a car, we wouldn’t be related.”
“… … .”
A faint crack appeared on Nova’s face, which had been so refreshing.
“Lovers can fight. Why are you here without any clue?”
I don’t know either, F*ck! Juyeol swallowed his answer that was rising to his chin and nodded at Haon.
“I hired him. Dr. Eun is now my engineer.”
“… … Who cares?”
His cracked face hardened coldly and his golden eyes glowed ominously.
Haon felt a chill and held onto the hem of Juyeol’s clothes tightly, shaking his shoulders.
It wasn’t a question of whether or not I had a chance of winning in a fight with Nova and magic engineering. I felt an instinctive aversion to the fear I had never felt before.
Joo-yeol sighed with an annoyed expression and turned around to ask.
“Hey. Do you want to go to that kid?”
