Chapter 473 – Rest

When I sneakily opened the well-oiled door of the president’s office, I saw Choi Seung-hwan and Bo-yeong arguing.

“Ha… Boyoung. Why are you doing this…”

Choi Seung-hwan thumps his chest and expresses frustration.
Said Boyoung with his arms crossed with a cold expression on his face.

“How many times do you tell me? Brother reveals too much money. Stella is a rookie. And a kid who likes to sing. If taking care of such a child so that he can sing is not enough, why are you trying to send him here and there? Is Stella an entertainer?”

“Hey… If you want to build a reputation…”

“Is there a newcomer as famous as Stella right now?”

“… Boyoung-ah, it’s a world in which the wall between singers and entertainers has collapsed. And the agency should do well too. Idols are also launched because they have grown in size…”

“That’s your brother’s greed.”

“What kind of volunteer group is your agency? Of course you have to be greedy.”

“I was going to make Stella my personal disciple, but I entrusted her to her because I thought my older brother would treat her well. But why treat Stella like a commodity?”

Choi Seung-hwan’s lips trembled.
He frowned and touched his temple.
His forehead looked very itchy.

“Even so, it was harsh to ask him to step down from his position as president. I trusted you and started this agency…”

“You got it? My brother didn’t spend a penny. This is the building I bought with my own money.”

“Ai-san… You really curse me… Yes, that’s true. But let’s be honest. Aren’t you as ambitious as I am, so you started an agency?”

No, Bo-Young was just faithfully carrying out my orders, which were her highest priority.

Listening to the conversation between the two, I don’t think the story will work out well.
I quietly closed the door and approached Stella, who was sipping coffee in the bathroom.

“I don’t think it will end easily, what should I do? If you kill it, it’s clean.”

“Why do you say such scary things easily…? No…”

“I’m more afraid of you who made Hee-joo a follower without a moment’s hesitation.”

“Nope…! Because I like Hee-joo unnie…”

She retorts with her blushing face.
I sighed and shook her head and rubbed the back of her neck.

“Yes, yes. If you don’t want blood on your hands, just give orders to Bo-young or Hee-joo.”

“Could it be that oppa just wants to get rid of the CEO…? If that’s the case, brother, you can do whatever you want…”

“Nope. I said this out of an old woman’s heart, in case you would offend Choi Seung-hwan. By the way…”

“Yes.”

“If Choi Seung-hwan had a quarrel with Bo-young, wouldn’t he resign? Then I’m going to sprinkle all sorts of shit on the reporters. Choi Seung-hwan is narrow-minded and greedy.”

“Ah… Then there could be a problem…?”

“Right.”

“Um… Then I’ll ask Minji unnie for help. As much as the representative has known me for a long time, I want to send it well. If it doesn’t work, I’ll tell Hee-joo directly.”

Marcella is the perfect person to handle that kind of thing.

“Do it.”

“Yes. I will go now.”

“Where?”

“Adaline sunbaenim said she would make drop coffee…”

You get along so well with Adele. Looks good.
I nodded with a benevolent expression and waved my hand in the air to create a portal.

**

A few more days have passed since the earth flowed peacefully in its own way.
I had a meeting with Charlotte, so I left my wives at home and headed to headquarters.

There, Charlotte, who had gone through all the previous tests to show off and entered the headquarters, was sitting quietly there.
With the doctor and Marcella.

Turbuck.

Seeing me coming out of the open monster portal, Charlotte stood up from her seat without showing any surprise and bowed her upper body respectfully.

“Meet the master.”

After roughly accepting the greeting, I immediately got to the point.

“What is your position in headquarters?”

“I haven’t been officially promoted, but it’s certain that they give me special treatment.”

Of course it should.
He is the only person who can acquire the headquarters’ technology.
I asked with a satisfied smile.

“Currently, there will be a child named Choi Ah-ram in the United States branch of the United Nations as a non-combatant. Could she take her to her Special Operations Command?”

“Recommendations are possible, but… The person named Aram Choi must have exceptional abilities. Otherwise, she will be rejected from the interview.”

“I have strengths in administrative support, and I have above-average knowledge in other areas, including future science.”

“As for administration… I think it’s possible because there isn’t much of a talent pool there.”

“When you return, look at the situation and make recommendations.”

“Yes, master. Everything is for the master’s defeat…”

Charlotte, who shows loyalty almost like faith.
I gently stroked Charlotte’s blonde hair.

“Is the location of the Special Operations Command and the list of people belonging to it yet?”

“Yes… It’s not easy to access as it’s top secret… I’m sorry.”

“Okay. As time goes on, your treatment will get better, so you will have a chance.”

“Thank you…”

There is a way to bring about a world union without relying on Charlotte.
For example, by releasing so many monsters that the wives could not cover it even if all the wives were dispatched.
However, this kind of approach is only refraining from the fact that the sacrifice of the monsters is great.
The fact that it takes time to develop divine power also played a role.

For me, who likes paintings in which a host infected with a contagious disease spreads the germs to others, it is right to go on as it is now.
Although he had to take a violent approach when dealing with Yoo Seung-hyun.

‘Is it time for a break?’

Charlotte needs time to settle in her place.
Even Stella was corrupted, so at least around me, unexpected situations stopped happening.

So, for now, I thought it would be better to pretend to cooperate with the World Alliance, observe their movements, and focus on raising the individual’s strength by attracting followers.
While taking care of trivial matters, I waited for the announcement of the World Union.

**

[Breaking news. The World Federation has announced the appearance of new heroes. The World Alliance plans to gather the best elites of each country to establish a monster special task force called the Special Operations Command, and cooperate with the current Beast Slayer headquarters to protect the Earth from monsters…….]

[According to the announcement made by the World Alliance, this organization says that there are four heroes with similar abilities to Beast Slayers…….]

[The public response is welcoming the birth of a new hero. However, some are worried that he may not have as strong a sense of justice as the existing beast slayers. The World Union spoke about their concerns…….]

[“People like us are happy. More heroes appearing means less damage from monsters. Beast Slayers who are already struggling, I hope this will ease the burden.”]

[“Isn’t that strange? Frequently appearing monsters became quiet as if dead at this timing. Isn’t it ironic? There seems to be a tower that controls monsters in the World Alliance. To dominate and control the citizens!”]

News pouring in from all channels.
The aftermath of the theme of ‘new hero’ is very large.
Truly an ambassador. It seems like it’s been a long time since the appearance of monsters and beast slayers that the entire earth has been shaken.

“That conspiracy theorist is pretty sharp…? Then your true identity might be revealed.”

It was a joke from Sehwa, who was watching an interview with a human being with me in the lab lounge.
I, exhausted, answered.

“I know. I get stabbed.”

“How is your relationship with the World Union?”

“It’s okay. I hand over my suit skills, so they bend over on their own.”

“You’re going to go your own way after skipping the details, right?”

“There may be such a purpose, but it will collapse before that.”

“I want to meet Seunghyun soon…”

Sehwa’s expression, which was blurred at the end of his words, was excited with excitement.
He seems to be happily contemplating how to bestow death.
I put my arm around her shoulder and said.

“Are you still going crazy?”

“Yes. He’s such a kid Just a nice stupid kid.”

“Do I still like you?”

“Well? I heard that three of the fake beast slayers are women? You might be happy among them.”

“I want you to do whatever you want to do until you die.”

“By now, your heart is probably swollen that you have become a beast slayer. Because you can do what you want.”

“What does Yoo Seung-hyun want?”

“Hero play. He’s been like that since he was little.”

Our Sehwa is relentless.
The childhood friend whom he loved so much has changed like this. What will Yoo Seung-hyun think when he sees Se-hwa?
Shall I cry out loud? Or will he put on a face that seems to have lived the whole world with dead eyes?
I can’t predict the reaction, so I’m rather looking forward to it.

[Feel moisture like pine needles at dawn, natural moisture.]

We were having a long conversation, but when we heard a familiar voice on TV, we turned our eyes to the screen.
There, a woman with a familiar face was advertising cosmetics.
It was Shin Yeon-soo who showed her innocence and freshness with light makeup and put her cosmetics on the side of her cheek.

“Training? Have you become very famous? If you see that the advertisement is put in at a good time.”

It was Sehwa’s words with a happy expression.
I said, nodding slowly.

“Uh. He said it was going well.”

“Are you still in touch today?”

“It’s gone.”

“Did you keep in touch? Or is Yeonsu not contacting you because he is busy?”

“It’s both.”

“Okay…? Do you still live in the house you saved?”

“No. I heard they moved now.”

“Well…”

Sehwa seems to have something in mind.
Not long ago, she showed her interest in Stella’s creation, and she asked her several questions…
After watching the training, I wonder if that feeling has grown.

“Can you get the address?”

As expected, Sehwa looked back at me and her eyes shone.
Looks like he’s going to do it alone.
I replied, gently scratching her white shoulder line with her hand.

“If you’re going to do it, go with me.”

Sehwa, who read her thoughts, avoided her gaze as if she was embarrassed.

“No, I don’t mean to do it… I just want to see your face when I’m bored…”

“Then hold off?”

“… I’ll put it on hold. Right now, spending time with you is more precious than a kid like that.”

You say nice things.
It’s like Sehwa.

I spent her time with her, weighing when to break this peaceful time.
The Special Operations Command has been officially launched, and Charlotte’s influence has grown…
Infiltrating Choi Ah-ram isn’t smooth either, but it’s progressing…
Let’s wait some more.
