Chapter 1600 – [Echo]
I didn’t go to the broadcasting station outright. However, that didn’t mean I took my own car. I went in a limousine provided by Sion. People had already gathered in front of the broadcasting station, probably because word had spread.
Not just one or two. There were both men and women, but strangely enough, there were many female fans, and although they had to block the aisles with a separate person, there were still so many people that it was overwhelming.
“Aaaaa why?
“I’m a fan!!!!”
“Please sign!!! Waaaaa!!!”
No, really, what is this?
Not only did I do good deeds, I didn’t do anything violent, and even after I came out, I didn’t kill anyone, but I did things like break arms and legs, so what?
Anyway, I couldn’t just ignore those people. No, I don’t know about other times, but it was because we were filming a broadcast and some of the people gathered there were kids who looked like middle or high school students.
I wonder how those kids got here, but due to my personal schedule, I couldn’t come on weekdays and came to film on the weekend. Since it was the weekend, other people had free time, but the kids who had to go to school invested the weekend to come and see me.
If you ignore that, it’s something before character-destroying trash. So, I took a moment and started signing autographs for people.
“What’s your name?”
“Are you giving me an autograph? Wow!!! Hey, my name is Jihoon Choi!!!!”
“It’s the same Choi. Maybe we’re relatives. At least in this life.”
In fact, such words are nothing more than a service. Because the Choi I have is not just a Choi, but a civilized Choi.
If the Choi family had prospered enormously, the Choi family would have long ago become the top of the prestigious families in the dimension. The reason we talk about the three most prestigious families for no reason is because there is a reason why none of them are special.
And there is one absolute reason why that person is not from my family. The name is ordinary.
My name is the worst, my cousin’s name is Choi Gil-hyun, and my daughter’s name is Choi Eden. Isn’t the name Choi Ji-hoon too ordinary? First, the naming sense of the people in my family is basically broken, so there is no way for a normal name to come out.
Well, first, let’s sign autographs for the kids. Of course, it was difficult to do everything because there were so many people. However, not everyone can do it, so it is difficult to do so, so some people signed autographs by hand, while the rest used their telekinesis to lift a fan and sign autographs.
“Wow!!!!!!! It’s amazing!!!!!”
“It’s a piece of empty air!!!”
“I want to get an autograph like that!!!!!”
There were people who actually wanted that kind of autograph, but whatever.
I entered the broadcasting station and immediately went to the studio where filming was taking place. Many people, including the PD, were busy and waiting for me as if they had already heard that I was coming.
I came a little early to keep my manners, but I guess I ended up causing trouble to other people because of that… Wow, this is actually difficult. It would be better if it came last.
“Ah!!! Welcome, Emperor Hung. First, the other performers are waiting separately. If there is any problem…”
“I will be waiting for you, so please let me know before filming.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Eventually, I met Song Min-woo in a separate waiting room. To be precise, I encountered Vanity, an evil spirit who possessed Song Min-woo’s body and was currently working as an entertainer.
He looked at me and his expression hardened, but he didn’t look stiff or anything like that, as if he had already heard something. Although he was a bit stiff, he managed to hold a conversation with me.
“Ah, didn’t I tell you before? You were the devil. Eden went and ate it and gained the ability to manipulate time.”
“The Demon King would have even gained the power of a hero… I guess it’s no joke.”
“Okay, you behave well too. I’ll just leave it alone for now, but if you eat the host too, you’ll be in big trouble, okay?”
“Yes, I will keep that in mind.”
Vanity’s treatment is nothing more than a withholding. After all, it is an evil spirit, so we must be at least cautious just in case.
Rather, even if Song Min-woo dies, Vanity will remain, so the quality is even worse if you think about the future. Even if you possess someone else, there is no guarantee that you won’t cause trouble there again. The decision to hold now is because Song Min-woo and Vanity are so good together.
I’ve only seen Yeongje in this case. Wouldn’t it be strange if there were two or more souls in one body, and they were still intact?
While I was wondering what else to say, someone else knocked on our waiting room. Someone did it, but among the people who came as a guest this time, it was a female guest. Was it Rivera from the girl group Four Stars?
“Oh, hello!!! I’m Rivera!!!!”
A child at the level of a beginner in society who greets people with a lively attitude. They say it’s better for girls in girl groups to be young, but at best, our Eden was younger than her age, so she was a child.
No, even if a child who has just become an adult is an adult in age, he or she is still a child in the eyes of adults. Even Song Min-woo… No, even from Vanity’s perspective, it would be like that.
Aside from that, I will just say hello and interact. Isn’t it better than pretending to lose when you’re broadcasting together?
“Nice to meet you, Emperor Hung. We will be broadcasting together today, so please be kind to us.”
“Wow, I wondered what kind of person she was, but she greeted me more formally than I expected. She’s probably a lot younger than me, so please take it easy. If you look at me, isn’t she almost my daughter’s age? Wakamo shaman is the same age as me.”
“Oh, is that so?”
I said they looked like they were around the same age, but were they really the same age? I would like to go to school anyway, but the kids who are going to go there from the beginning just focus on that. Rather, Eden, who goes to school and works as an entertainer, is unique.
Speaking of being a popular girl group these days, they were young and, on top of that, they were also quite pretty. If I had to make a comparison, I wouldn’t say it’s comparable to the kids in my house, but it’s a little prettier than Jihee.
Of course, it’s based on beauty, but that doesn’t mean I judge a person’s value based on their shell. My appearance was average from the beginning, and before Rodrigo, I had a negative side, so who can judge someone based on their appearance?
“Anyway, I hope you enjoy today’s filming. There will be some cooking in between, so I hope you enjoy the food.”
“Ah!!!! I heard about it. To be honest, I’m really looking forward to it. I heard that the food at Hungje’s restaurant is so delicious that it exceeds my imagination.”
“If you want, I’ll make it as delicious as yours.”
“Thank you!!!! Oh, I have to do my makeup, so see you later when I’m filming!!!!”
He seems to have a lively personality, but… Well, let’s not go into a long story.
Afterward, I spent some time reading and reading the script, and then it was time to film, so I went out to the stage. To be exact, I was waiting at the back of the stage for guests to enter, and I was waiting with Rivera, who had just finished putting on her makeup.
It was quite pretty, perhaps because it was decorated by a celebrity, especially a member of a popular girl group these days. She speaks with a faint smile.
“I can’t get used to standing in front of the camera because I get nervous every time I do it. It’s a little better because there are fewer audiences, but it’s still okay.”
“If it’s a girl group center, you have to get used to it even if you don’t like it, right?”
“So I’m trying. Um, but it’s hard for me to sing. How should I sing?”
“Call it whatever you want. I don’t really care about titles.”
It’s not a public event, it’s just a broadcast, and even though the other person is a celebrity, there’s nothing special about it. A lot of people don’t really care if they call me the evil emperor, the evil emperor, Mr. Worst, or the boss.
Hey, it’s the worst. The same thing is an exception. I don’t know if it’s a friend, but it’s rude to call someone that way when you first meet them.
“Then shall I call you oppa?”
“Wouldn’t it be a bit weird to hear someone of the same age as my daughter call her brother?”
“It means you look that much younger. Honestly, if someone who doesn’t know you sees you, I don’t think you’re a few years older than me.”
My appearance is fixed to be in my late 20s once I grow up to a certain level. When I was in middle school and high school, I had presbyopia so much that I could even see through a cigarette, but as I got older, I looked younger. Usually, when Eden and I are together, most people don’t see us as father and daughter, but if you compare her Eden with a child of the same age, it’s the same.
However, I also have a conscience, so I don’t think it’s a good idea for a child who is my daughter’s age to call me an older brother. Instead, call me uncle, uncle.
“Then I’ll call you uncle.”
“Do whatever you want. Ah, I guess it’s time to leave…”
Song Min-woo, who was the main MC on the talk show stage, started calling us. Eventually, the door connecting the stage and the back of the stage opened, and it was our turn to go out.
“Then let me introduce today’s guest!!!!”
Afterward, Rivera and I took the stage in earnest. On one side was an ordinary man and on the other was a pretty woman, but people’s eyes went to her for a moment and then focused on me.
“Today’s guest is none other than Rivera from The Beast and Four Stars!!! Everyone, please welcome them with applause!!!!”
Soon, applause from the audience is heard. We gave a brief greeting to the audience and sat down in the seats provided next to Song Min-woo.
Maybe it’s because I’m a bad guy, but people paid more attention to me than to Rivera, a member of the girl group. Even though we are in the audience, there are people who are nervous and people who are excited, and there are all kinds of people.
“Wow, the PD worked hard this time. How did they invite you as a guest? Honestly, isn’t it amazing?”
“Well, since you came out, Minwoo, I decided to come out, so I could see your face.”
“Huh? Did Min-woo oppa and the evil uncle know each other?”
“A little bit about Eden’s work. Hey, tell me honestly, Minwoo. Have you had a hard time living with your mouth shut so far?”
“Oh, how can I say it when I’m in big trouble if I say it? I was worried that I might say it while I’m drunk.”
I’d like to tell you something, but this is all a script. It’s even been aired, but I don’t plan on being too rigid.
Song Min-woo can also benefit from showing off his friendship with this side, and it becomes a topic for stories, which is a win-win for both sides. Of course, in reality, it’s not that kind of relationship, but whatever.
“Honestly, today is the first time I’ve seen you since you came out. How have you been?”
“Don’t even talk about it. You said it wasn’t a joke because it was so loud? I guess there are still people crowded around my house right now?”
“It’s the fate of a celebrity. Oh, isn’t that the same for Mr. Rivera?”
“I am like that too, but not as much as the uncle. Today’s appearance was actually something I begged the CEO to do, so I could see him.”
Rivera looks this way with a smile. Since I’m in front of the camera, I smile a bit, but I can still see my true feelings.
He’s the same age as Eden, but he’s a monster… If it weren’t for me, most people would be fooled.
Anyway, since people have gathered, we will conduct a talk show. The filming plan is to split parts 1 and 2. Part 1 is a normal talk show, and part 2 is me cooking and eating it.
In Part 1, we plan to proceed by asking me various questions. Today’s guest is Rivera, but she is mostly a bridesmaid, and even though she and her agency knew that, she appeared on today’s broadcast. Still, since she couldn’t leave her completely empty, she was planning on giving her some weight.
“The audience here has a lot of questions for me and my brother. Since this is the right time, I’ll ask everything I want to ask.”
“What are you so curious about?”
“First, there are a few things… No one denies that you have the strongest special ability, but I’m curious about exactly how strong you are. How strong are you specifically?”
“The standard of strength is vague, but once a Saiyan or something like that attacks, it’s enough to step out as a Z warrior.”
“The metaphor of a man with a flaw is a real man.”
“No, Dragon Ball series are still coming out these days?!”
“Anyway, at that point, I don’t think Cheonma will do anything to Korea. Oh, you two are close, right?”
“Well, if Cheonma visits Korea, after finishing her official schedule, we can have a drink together and that’s it.”
“That’s also done in the Garden of Eden, right? I’ve seen the Wakamo shaman broadcast before, and it would be a great vacation spot. I also want to try freshly picked tropical fruits!!!”
“Then, I will send you some fruit to Mr. Rivera’s agency later.”
“Really? Wow!!!”
Rather than two men talking, it was much better for a woman to gently change the mood by chiming in next to her. So the talk show went relatively smoothly.
There were so many questions, the broadcast was overflowing, and the audience was focused on our story. The atmosphere of the broadcast is good.
“Oh, that’s right. I also have a question about Mr. Hungje.”
“What is it?”
“What is your ideal type?”
That seems like a question that wasn’t in the script. And Rivera’s purpose became almost clear.
I don’t know if it was noise marketing or if they wanted to lobby me, a real bad guy, to get ahead, but their intentions were not pure. That purpose was hidden behind her friendly and cute face.
It’s not a good idea to just cut and edit it and move on. On the surface, it seems like an insignificant question, so if you say it here, people will think you’re overreacting.
So, in order to move on smoothly, I brought up the story of Zion. It was best to talk about my wife rather than talking about my manic tastes like blonde small breasts and eye patches.
“My ideal type? Of course, Eden is someone like my mother.”
“Brother?!”
“Why? My husband says his wife is his ideal type. Isn’t that strange?”
“That’s not it, my sister-in-law…”
I thought for a moment, wondering if I had said something strange, and then Zion’s appearance came to mind.
Eden also appeared in the lintel, so most people know that Zion is a legal loli. He’s older than me, but his appearance… Is this really a lolicon coming out?!
It was a broadcasting accident!!!!!
