This Villain is Soft - Chapter 95



Only Noblemtl

Episode 95

Old Town District 2.

Haon sat across from Hunter in an empty building with only two chairs.

Behind Haon stood Chacha and Bani, and behind Hunter stood Juyeol, who seemed to be displeased with this situation.

I was able to stop him from going looking for Nova, but I couldn’t stop him from meeting the Hunter.

The two had already planned to meet a long time ago, but it was just postponed day after day.

And it seemed like Haon had some work to do.

The hunter spoke first.

“We’re still looking for Bae An-jae and Halo, but the potion has spread and the situation at headquarters is not good, so there hasn’t been any significant progress.”

“Before that, I have something else to talk about.”

Haon spoke with a determined expression on his face, which had become much more lively.

“I want to have zone 4.”

Juyeol looked at Haon with a surprised expression. Chacha and Bani also exchanged glances, greatly shaken.

The hunter looked over Haon’s mind as if he was trying to gauge his thoughts and then asked.

“Are Zones 1 and 2 not enough?”

“Have you seen the kids in District 2? They come home from the factory, go into the store, and hand out flyers for illegal performances late into the night.”

“… … .”

“I don’t understand how the Halo could have disappeared.”

Haon didn’t hide his rare expression of anger, as if his teeth chattered just thinking about it.

They were children of similar age to Parangi.

The parents of those children must also be sending their children to work with a heavy heart.

Otherwise, you’ll end up having to borrow a huge amount of interest from the district boss to pay the protection fee.

“So you’re going to kill Rusty?”

“I don’t want to kill.”

Haon answered without hesitation.

“Even though that happened to Hanra?”

“You won’t be surprised anymore. I’m letting you know in advance so you don’t get surprised when the old town changes hands again.”

“Of course you are confident that you will succeed in taking over District 4.”

The hunter said so, but he didn’t think it was reckless.

It was that small hand that held up the collapsing hero headquarters until everyone had escaped.

“I don’t know how you plan on managing the three zones, but headquarters doesn’t get involved in the fight for position. I hope it doesn’t end up like Q.”

“Oh, by the way. What happened to Hero Headquarters?”

Suddenly, Haon started talking nonsense.

“Did you decide to rebuild the building on the same site? Or did you find a new site?”

“… …Why are you curious about that?”

The Hunter didn’t want to dwell on the problem that had been bothering him the most recently.

Finding the building and land was a problem, but the vast amount of information that the headquarters had gathered over the years was irretrievable.

I kept saying that I needed a backup server, but I was always turned down due to cost issues.

Haon quietly looked at Hunter, whose complicated thoughts were not revealed at all on his face, and then smiled bashfully.

“It’s the headquarters server. Actually, I backed it up.”

Rattling.

The chair was thrown around as the hunter got up roughly.

“You tampered with the headquarters server without permission?”

Ha-on flinched at the sight of her hard, cold expression and waved his hand urgently.

“Wait a minute! Even the Hunter agreed to this!”

“That can’t be true.”

“Well, of course I was unconscious, but what do I do when the entire server is blown up!”

The hunter could no longer hide his agitation.

It was welcome news that the servers were backed up, but it was unacceptable that an outsider, not even someone from headquarters, whose identity was unknown, might have accessed all the confidential information.

Haon added calmly, noticing the thought.

“I haven’t opened any of the information from Hero Headquarters. Seriously. I set it up so that if you open it, a record will be left, so I can show you that.”

“… … .”

The hunter sat back down, his head pounding with thoughts overflowing. Juyeol had straightened the chair at some point.

“Are you suggesting we make a deal with that?”

“Similar.”

“You probably don’t need money.”

Haon said, pointing to the floor with his finger.

“How about making this building the new hero headquarters?”

“……what?”

“It’s the building that Hanla used. It has 7 floors above ground and 5 floors underground. Including the building next to it that can be remodeled into a dormitory.”

The hunter looked back at Juyeol, doubting his ears. He didn’t look particularly surprised, as if he had heard this story beforehand.

Rather, he took Haon aside as if it were nothing.

“Isn’t that okay? I have nowhere to go anyway, and it’ll be hard to find a large building like this.”

“… … .”

The hunter looked forward again with a face that said he didn’t understand.

“Is that what you want?”

“yes.”

Haon answered with a bright smile.

If we get Zone 1, Zone 2, and Zone 4, it was obvious that it would be difficult to manage them all safely.

But if the hero headquarters is located in District 2, it’s a different story.

There will be no attempt to take over District 2, and it will be difficult for villains to run wild in other areas of the Old City.

It would also be easy to monitor the two-section underground passageway created by Bae An-jae.

Plus, if headquarters staff commute to the old city, they can ask for a bus route to be built deep into the old city, and maybe the police will look into minor incidents in the old city.

Hunter also thought about the benefits Haon could gain, but that wasn’t enough.

“Isn’t this hard to call a deal? Why on earth are they doing this?”

“I’m just doing what I can. The world needs heroes.”

“… … .”

The Hunter had the illusion that the war scene he had seen on the USB was unfolding behind Haon, who no longer hid the back of his hand in front of him.

‘Are you still standing on the front lines?’

The hunter let out a sigh that resembled a hollow laugh and asked while checking the date.

“So when do you plan on hitting Area 4?”

“Now.”

“… … ?”

“Right now.”

Behind Hunter’s expression of bewilderment at Haon’s thoughtless answer, Juyeol’s shocked face was visible.

* * *

The old town’s 4th district was quickly demolished.

The Rusty Gang was powerless to stop the swarm of mechanical cranes and Haon who came without warning.

Even as Haon was storming in, they were still thinking about how they could squeeze the residents of District 4 more effectively.

When they were talking about raising child support for households without children because having more children would increase the number of workers to support them, they were attacked.

The gangsters drank their potions in a hurry, but dealing with them was easy. All the mechanical cranes were wearing nullification patch guns.

The hardest part was getting rid of the stubbornness that said, “Can’t I help you even if I have to wear a mask?”

Heroes were not supposed to get involved in the fight for seats in the old town. That was a rule that applied to Juyeol as well.

Hunter must have been anxious about the situation, so he gave him the task of taking pictures of the Sector 2 building to report to his superiors as the new hero headquarters and confirming its actual area.

In fact, Ha-on had prepared things in advance, but he pretended not to know about them in case Ju-yeol got involved in the fight.

Haon, who was looking around at the mechanical cranes on the front line, thought that the end was in sight and aimed his cell phone at Rusty, who had fallen to the ground.

“What kind of mean thing is this all of a sudden! Isn’t this just being too greedy after already eating up two districts?”

His ability to melt metal just by staring at it was completely ineffective against the mechanical cranes and Haon.

It was because of the thick mana shield that had been applied beforehand.

“Tell them you surrender, and I’ll spare your life.”

“How can you believe that?”

Rusty glared at Haon with a look of humiliation. Even at this moment, his tone was gentlemanly.

“Should I go with Nova this time too? You saved Hanla too.”

“I know you’re just holding on to your breath.”

“that…….”

Haon heard about Hanra from Chacha. She was treated terribly by Nova.

“Halla tried to kill me. If you didn’t have any attachment to District 4, that wouldn’t have happened.”

“That’s ridiculous… …!”

Rusty looked around, gritting his teeth.

All of my subordinates were subdued by the mechanical cranes, and I was the only one who did not lose consciousness.

Haon was still unable to give up and was trying to persuade Rusty, who was trying to seize an opportunity.

“I have no intention of taking away your business. Just give me District 4─”

At that moment, Haon’s mana shield cracked and split, and a tingling pain was felt on his wrist.

“Ugh!”

I was attacked by a thin mana that suddenly flew in.

In the aftermath, my dropped cell phone flew to the side.

‘Bae An Jae… …!’

Haon tried to get his phone back before looking for the terrorist with his eyes.

Rusty didn’t miss the opportunity and grabbed Haon’s ankle.

“Eww!”

The cold muzzle of a gun touched Ha-on’s head, which was lying on the floor.

“… … !”

Rusty, whose eye level was reversed, smiled bitterly.

“You never let go of your phone. I guess you can’t do anything without it.”

Haon had a feeling that he would shoot right away. He wanted to kill me right away before he could give me an opening.

But even in this dangerous situation, strangely, I didn’t have the same sense of impending death as when I fell into the water.

“Then please say hello to Q.”

Kikrik─.

The moment Rusty pulled the trigger, blood spurted onto Haon’s cheek and the nape of his neck.
