This Villain is Soft - Chapter 59



Only Noblemtl

Episode 59

The group, which included both men and women, were all dressed in black and holding masks in their hands.

Nova, as if she had been waiting, counted the number of people and opened her large duffel bag.

“Okay. Deposit.”

And he handed them wads of cash.

“This is a deposit?”

“Where can I go today that will give me double the money?”

People fiddled with the heavy wads of money in their hands with bewildered expressions.

“Every day will be fun from today onwards. I can guarantee it.”

After returning to Korea, Nova was more well-behaved than others expected.

To be exact, it looked like he was ‘acting well’.

After meeting the new galaxy a few times, he immediately figured out what to do.

The people in front of you were short-term mercenaries that Nova periodically hired to do ‘work’.

It didn’t matter that I didn’t visit Ha-on often because nothing required me to move as much as quietly and skillfully handling things.

Because I decided to finish it slowly and steadily.

“Today, I have to start by raiding the Q warehouse.”

Everyone exchanged glances in surprise at Nova’s words, then willingly put their masks back on and climbed onto the truck that had been prepared in advance.

They were all members of Q’s gang, the boss of District 1.

They had no hesitation in robbing the place that was practically the lifeline of their gang.

Because Nova always gave much more money than Q.

The large logistics warehouse in Q was in ruins in an instant.

The gangsters, who knew the warehouse’s layout inside out, raided even the secret spaces inside the secret safe.

The current Q gang was in a very precarious position in the old town.

No one knew that Nova had a big hand in making that happen.

‘I didn’t tell it to blow up along with the smuggling ship. But it blew up the ship too, surprisingly.’

Nova had recruited several of Q’s men with potions he had stolen from gang members in other districts.

They were given the job of pretending that there was a problem with the crane and causing the smuggling ship’s cargo to fall into the sea, but something went wrong.

One of them, unwilling to share the potion, poured all seven vials into his mouth, and for some reason his body exploded in a massive explosion.

Nova, who was watching from one side of the dock, cheered, while Q lost both the smuggled goods and the ship without even knowing why.

It was from that time that the already precarious District 1 gang began to tilt significantly.

Now, the gang was barely able to maintain its power by auctioning off all of the precious metals that had just arrived in the warehouse, along with the numerous jewels owned by Q himself.

Of course, now that the warehouse was empty, there was no way for Q to save the gang.

All that’s left is an incompetent boss with only the ability to awaken, and uncoordinated and disgruntled subordinates.

It’s a precarious tower that could collapse with even the slightest touch.

Even if left alone, it would have disintegrated messily within two years, but Nova added a little more craftiness.

If things continue like this, Q’s gang will soon completely collapse.

And that too in the form of decline brought about solely by the boss’s incompetence.

Nova’s ‘game’, which started out as fun, now has a clear reason.

‘It’s time for a new owner to come into District 1.’

A few days later, Haon heard two pieces of news from Chacha, who had come to the lab.

Ghost had returned to hero headquarters and more than half of Q’s men had deserted the gang.

“I thought it would last two more years, but it seems it would be difficult to last even a year. It will disappear soon.”

Haon rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked at Chacha’s words.

“Then there will be a fight between the villains trying to take over District 1?”

“That’s what will happen. The old city gangs will be looking to take over one more area, and new gangs will be formed.”

“The heroes must be busy too. Joo-yeol just got back, so he must be having a hard time… .”

Haon shut his mouth tightly as he tried to put into words the thoughts that came to his mind out of habit.

Chacha and Bunny sighed at the awkward atmosphere and spoke lightly on purpose.

“Don’t get hit in the back of the head by a ghost. Just change the access rights to another floor.”

“That’s right. Also check to see if there are any hidden location trackers or wiretapping devices.”

The two men grumbled that they couldn’t trust the heroes anyway.

Haon retained his entry rights even after Juyeol left.

I felt that if I got rid of that, the existence of cosmic heat would completely disappear from me.

“… … They probably won’t come anyway, right?”

As soon as he answered like that, Haon felt like he was hurting himself and just looked down at his phone in a daze.

Unable to bear the prolonged silence, Bunny opened his mouth.

“I’m a little scared that the area where my sister and I live will become a mess.”

Only then did Haon seem to return to reality.

“If you’re scared, do you want to stay here? The penthouse is spacious too.”

Chacha giggled at Haon’s words.

“Okay. No one will be interested in Zone 2.”

“Why? Is it because you’re afraid of Halla?”

“Rather than that, the treasure of District 1 has been revealed.”

“Treasure? Is there such a thing?”

“There is loot that is passed down from district to district, and district 1 is known to have jewels.”

Haon tilted his head with a curious look.

They don’t display or sell the jewels of the gang they took down, but rather keep them.

It seemed that loot was of great significance here.

“That’s a huge diamond. I heard it was a sapphire, but I guess that was just a rumor.”

“… … !”

Haon opened his eyes wide and immediately threw away the question he had been harboring until just now.

What a huge diamond!

“Oh, how big is it?”

“Look at this? You said you weren’t interested in gang games where people run around and then suddenly you’re interested?”

“I’m interested in diamonds, not gangs.”

Chacha answered after mulling over the words she had heard at the pub.

“Maybe it’s the fist-sized diamond you wanted?”

That’s it!

Haon almost clapped his hands without realizing it.

Finally, we know where to find a diamond big enough to create a dimensional prism.

If there is a problem… … .

“Is the only way to get it the boss of Area 1?”

“yes?”

“Q is in a bad situation these days, so don’t you think he needs money?”

“You can never sell that diamond. The loot is a symbol of honor, so if you get caught selling it, Q will be on the villains’ death list.”

“If I live quietly in private, won’t no one find out?”

“The new boss who cleared Area 1 will pretend not to see the empty treasury.”

“Umm… … .”

Haon, who was worried, asked quietly.

“I’ll help you, so how about you gradually become the boss of District 1? I’ll buy the diamonds. I won’t even put them on the market.”

“Are you crazy? You’re busy taking care of yourself, how are you going to take care of all the people living in District 1?”

When Chacha became annoyed, Haon furrowed his eyebrows.

“Can’t you just sell me the diamonds and give Area 1 back to Q?”

“Why are you so naive? You have to kill Q to take over District 1.”

‘Isn’t that too extreme? Why do you go that far?’

Chacha snickered as Haon’s thoughts were clearly visible on his face.

“You can declare surrender and hand over the loot, but you’ll still die anyway. That way, there won’t be any trouble later.”

“I see… … .”

“Don’t you want to be the boss? Get the diamonds fair and square.”

“Then I don’t think the hero headquarters will leave me alone like this… … .”

“Of course.”

Haon sighed with a gloomy face.

‘Ah. I definitely need that.’

There are only a few fist-sized diamonds in the world. Terrorists also stole large diamonds from Equatorial Guinea to create the giant portal.

‘Can’t we make or convince the queue to appear dead for a moment?’

My worries deepened.

Nova stood at a corner of the old town, humming a tune.

It was the darkest hour of the night, just before dawn, and even his pure white hair looked black.

The pure white villain appeared in the darkness, his face whiter and more transparent than my hair.

‘The problem is that it’s too bright.’

Nova took a large sapphire out of her bosom.

Holding it like a ball in a place without a single ray of light, it looked like an unappealing lump of stone.

As he clenched his hands, blue sand poured out between his fingers.

The sapphire powder scattered in the dark night did not emit any light and disappeared into the darkness.

‘It doesn’t matter now. I’m going to drag you down to where I can reach.’

Nova slung the bazooka he had received as a gift from ‘Galaxy On’ over his shoulder.

The direction the gun was headed was to a hero’s safe house.

‘To do that, first of all… … .’

Nova smiled gracefully and pulled the trigger. The rockets fired one after another and flew toward the outer wall of the building.

Kwaaang! Kwaaang! Kwarreung─.

There was a loud noise, accompanied by vibrations so loud that the ground shook, and a cloud of dust was raised.

‘A sanctuary without me? That can’t exist.’

He was disappointed to see the safe house collapsed.

I expected that Eunhaon would have installed some loud protective devices in that house, but even so, it was destroyed by a bazooka, and the debris of the building was quite large.

‘Maybe he’s not dead. But that doesn’t matter.’

Nova turned around with a refreshed expression.

‘Is it because I keep meeting soft people? I’ve become a lot more docile. I can’t believe I ended my anger at such a cute level.’

Dawn began to rise from the spot where he had left.

The sapphire powder that had been collected in the cracks of the rocks sparkled brilliantly and then scattered with the wind.
