Chapter 1605 – [Echo]

Just as I was about to move on, I briefly went online to check the reaction. Three people have already been arrested, and there are eyewitnesses to the second, so it will become known quickly.

And as expected, articles began to appear on the Internet, including photos posted by eyewitnesses.

[The murderous act of a vicious emperor!!!]

[Indiscriminate murder? Murder with a reason!!!!]

[This is something I warned you about a month ago. The evil emperor who set out to execute malicious commenters!!!]

[Private sanctions of individuals. Is this really right!!!!]

I knew something would come out of it. But I don’t care. I do what I think I should do, and I am prepared to be criticized for it.

Throwing eggs and flour in front of my house… No, I understand throwing things like that, but why are you throwing such a waste of food? That would be enough to make and eat noodles. Anyway.

It was expected given the number of articles criticizing me, but some of them crossed the line.

[Wakamo Shrine Eden Choi. Are we just watching the murderous actions of the evil emperor?!!!]

“… Huh?”

It’s okay to curse at me, but don’t curse at Eden, you bastards.

Of course, I expected that these types of people would come out, and I also planned to get rid of them later, so I checked the person who posted the article… And it turned out that the name of the gossip media company was Kim Tae-jun.

I wondered if by chance I had the same name as this guy, but unless there was someone with the same name in the company, it was clear that it was the same guy.

Wow, it’s really gross. The guy who is trying to harass you don’t understand the situation and posts another trashy article?

“Seeing as you wrote an article, I guess you’re at work. Let’s go.”

First, when Eden caused an uproar before coming out, Zion separately warned large media outlets, and the media outlets that reported it and took issue with it were small media outlets, mostly scoundrels.

Among them, there are some that have posted an apology after coming out, at least in a formal way, but there are a few that have not, and one of them is a guy named Kim Tae-jun of an online newspaper called News Spect.

After investigating the individual, Zion will take care of the rest and dismantle the media company. It’s a media company that writes trashy articles, but not everyone in that company is at fault, so just punish the one person who’s causing the problem and deal with the rest with money and the law.

Afterward, immediately tear the dimension apart and head towards that direction. As you cross the torn dimensional crack, you immediately see News Spect’s office.

Maybe it’s because it’s a place where gossip articles are written, but the company rents an office somewhere, and it’s not that big of a place. Above all, the office lights are brightly turned on during break time after work, so it’s tempting to work overtime, so the working environment doesn’t look good.

“Assistant Manager Kim, you posted an article… Huh?”

“Yes, I posted an article, huh?!”

The humans remaining in the office are shocked to see me tearing through the dimension. Since it was a small office with only a few people, they immediately noticed that I had appeared.

“Who is Taejun Kim here?”

“Whew, it’s a bad thing!!!!”

“Fuck, so I was going to go home !!!!

I took a peek into the office once. There were a few people who had been working overtime until this time, but among them, there was one who had a special reaction.

He is trembling and avoiding my gaze… He looks just like a cow before being led to the slaughterhouse. Then, I dragged him with my telekinesis.

“Are you Kim Tae-jun? Yes, I saw the article you just posted. But why did Eden post an article criticizing me for killing people?”

“Well, isn’t that the case between father and daughter? They can’t completely avoid responsibility…”

“Really? If you read the full article, it seems like you’re criticizing Wakamo Shrine maiden for being incompetent?”

Not all humans like Eden. There are people in this world who I hate for no reason.

Especially after coming out, likes and dislikes were divided. Contrary to the image of the Wakamo shaman, after coming out, there are people who feel rejected by Eden, who is good at giving sex and is very playful.

It seems like they’re pouring out articles like that to suck up views on people like that… Well, since they’re this kind of people, they probably posted articles shamelessly criticizing me and Eden without even a single apology even after coming out.

“Did you hear the news? Three guys have already come here. Two of them searched for me, and one of them gave me a sack in his hand. You’re such a bastard reporter that you didn’t even post a correction or an apology, so I’m going to kill you because you published something like trash.”

“Now, wait a minute!!!! Emperor, wait a minute!!!! It’s not my fault!!!!!”

“Are you trying to make an excuse? Give it a try.”

“That was an article posted because of that bastard editor-in-chief!!! I had no choice but to take it down when I was told to take it down!!!!!”

“Hey!!! Assistant Manager Kim!!!!!”

When I glance back, the expression on the face of the editor-in-chief, who was sitting in a good seat in the office, hardens.

Hmm, unless the position of Editor-in-Chief of Articles is just for parachuting and eating, then the job would be to edit articles as the name of the position suggests.

“It’s that guy who told me to write a more provocative article and stopped me when I tried to write an apology because the number of views would drop!!!!”

“What?! I’m never like that !!!!!

“Stop.”

When I spoke quietly, they both shut up.

At a glance, I was able to figure out what was going on. And I was able to come to that conclusion.

“They both told the truth, but they also lied. It looks like it was the editor-in-chief who posted the article, but the apology is nonsense, right?”

“Oh, no, that bastard definitely said that!!!!”

“Just die, both of you. I don’t want to talk to that bastard anymore.”

“Now, wait a minute!!! I have nothing to do with it…”

“Do you think I won’t be able to tell a lie?”

“That…”

“Originally I came here to kill just one guy, but now I’m leaving after killing two guys.”

I soon cut off both of their heads at the same time with my telekinetic blade. The two men ended their lives with shocked expressions and disbelief in their eyes, leaving not a single word behind.

The life of a snail is like the life of a fly. Was it that difficult to post an apology or correction?

I looked at the remaining reporters in the office. Even though it is difficult to say that a reporter is a reporter who does not go out and run in the field and uses photos or stories circulating on the Internet to write articles, the number of cases in which I would work as a reporter was right in front of my eyes.

“It doesn’t matter if you call the police or an ambulance, but you’ve made news, right? While you’re posting the article, also include an apology and a correction. If you don’t want to end up like that.”

“Yes!!!! Yes!!!!! I understand!!!!”

“I will definitely post a corrected report and an apology!!!!”

I saw my co-workers and my boss chasing each other right in front of my eyes, but if you don’t listen, that’s not courage, it’s recklessness.

While I was about to finish this one and go out to attack the next guy, texts and calls started pouring in on my cell phone. It seemed like the higher-ups were slowly finding out what I was doing and rushing to contact me.

I would say that because everyone in my house already knows, but there are also people who don’t know… So first, I answer the phone. First, the Chairman of the Chunmu Association.

“Uh, yes. Why?”

-I saw the article, senior. You are doing a great job.

“What, I thought you were going to nag me, but you’re not?”

-You won’t quit even if I stop you, right? However, if you had told us in advance, it would have been better for us to prepare.

“It wasn’t nagging, it was complaining, I’m sorry. But I warned you a month ago, so you should have noticed.”

-Honestly, I thought you were going to get over Eoyeongbuyeong.

“If that was going to be the case, I wouldn’t have said anything in the first place. Anyway, I’m taking care of the matter now and going to kill the next guy.”

-Currently, a lot of people are gathering around your home. The torch includes reporters, people whose feet are numb, and the families of dead victims. First, the police alone are not enough, so we will send our guys to sort it out separately.

“Yes, I understand.”

-But that doesn’t happen overnight, right? What are you going to do?

“I have to do it over and over again. Don’t worry, it will be over in about a month.”

-… It’s going to be a noisy month. Okay, see you next time.

That’s how we ended our conversation with the Chairman of the Chunmu Association… The next person to come was the President.

This president came out to us during his term, so he secretly passed a bill and had a lot of fun, but I guess I was wondering what was wrong with this. I’ll respect it for now, but let’s see how it goes.

“Hello? Mr. President?”

-Ah, you finally received it. I walked for a while, but he didn’t answer, so I wondered if he was doing it on purpose.

“If that were the case, I wouldn’t have given you my number in the first place. But what’s going on?”

-It is because of what you are doing now. Currently, the people are confused and scared due to this incident. Could you please refrain?

“I don’t like it. I have to beat the heads off of these fucking bastards before I can use it.”

-… Public public opinion about the evil deed will worsen.

“I’m used to being criticized anyway. And I’m willing to accept that.”

-Even if you take that into account, it will cause damage not only to Mr. Choiak, but also to Miss Eden…

“Hey.”

-… Yes?

“Are you trying to use Eden to stop me? Do you want to search?”

-Oh, no. That’s not it.

I understand the president’s position. If you don’t do anything in a situation where a murderer is running around killing people and making idiots, your approval rating will drop and there won’t be an uproar.

But what can I do? Regardless, I will feel better if I catch and kill those bastards. It may not be a sin to do something without knowing, but now I know it is a sin and I have no intention of forgiving these idiots who kicked me twice when I gave them a chance.

“Don’t think that you can’t kill me just because I’m the president. If you don’t want to become the first president to be dismembered in Gwanghwamun Square, worry about what happens next. Don’t think about stopping me.”

-… Yes, I understand.

“Seeing you try to cross the line on the topic of a president who has been around for 5 years, I’m even more upset about this already frustrating situation. When we came out, you said you probably had some fun while all the attention was focused on that, but you’re contacting me to only talk about what you’ve lost without telling me about what you’ve gained? I’m telling you. Really.”

-Sorry, sorry.

“I’m the type of person who respects him as a president, right? That’s why previous presidents also ended their terms in good terms. But since Eden brought this up, I’ll be watching you until the end of your term. If you do something stupid, you’ll be described in textbooks as a president who is truly torn apart. Know that it will be recorded.”

Even though I am a transcendent and now a lord, I tend to respect the laws and politicians of that civilization. Honestly, it’s hard to find someone like me among transcendents, and it’s even harder to find people like me among Lords, but there is a line.

If three or four-year-old kids block an alley just because they’re playing and don’t let them pass, they’ll go back because they think it’s cute, but if they’re rushing to the hospital after hearing a family member is sick, it’s similar to not having anything like that. To me, my family is a line that others should not cross.

Anyway, I’ve wasted some time talking to various people, so now it’s time to go find the next guy.

This time, I looked through the list to see who it was. Name: Kang Dae-chan, age: 23, college student… Huh? Is there anything special? Second generation chaebol?

I wondered why this guy was on the list, but he wasn’t a malicious commenter. He is nothing else but the truth about sexual harassment and harassment.

Previous malicious commenters also wrote comments that went beyond the level of sexual harassment. What’s different is that while that one was just literally saying or writing, this one sent a personal message or something like that to Eden to take action directly.

There is a reason for that. Something like ‘I’m a sports guy, I sent you a message’.

At that time, Eden was a model, and CEO Jang took care of coming to the agency, but he couldn’t handle coming to Eden directly. It seems like Eden blocked her and ignored her, but she persistently stuck with her on a regular basis and bothered her.

After coming out, it seems like he deleted all the messages he sent, but deleting them didn’t erase them, and Zion found them all one by one and put them on the list.

First, if we look at the light…

-Haha, I’m not bragging, but my father is the owner of one of the top 100 companies in Korea.

-If you want anything, I can buy it for you.

-Honestly, even being a model is a full-time business, right? How do you feel about being the daughter-in-law of a chaebol family?

-No, really, let’s meet just once? It’s so fucking expensive.

-If you sleep together just once, your CF will drop. How much will it bounce? Hey, are you ignoring me?

“Oh, fuck, really.”

There were a lot of messages added below. It wasn’t at the level of throwing a tantrum, but Eden was completely ignoring him, and later, perhaps out of impatience or out of character, his tone came out in a vulgar tone.

Is this what second generation chaebols are like these days? No, on the contrary, I would rather educate him well… Oh, he’s the youngest of the family, right? The owner of the company is my father, so I thought it was a bit odd that he was in his 20s, but he is the youngest child of the family with his remarried wife.

So, there is an age difference of over 20 years between him and his half-eldest brother, who is taking successor training. He’s not the heir, he’s the kind of guy who will later take over an affiliate or something, and it seems like his personality has been damaged by people asking him if he’s the youngest.

“I’m going to enjoy tearing this bastard to pieces.”

Being a second generation chaebol and all, that is not an obstacle for me. No matter how much money you brought, you can’t stop this bastard from ransacking. Even if I were to hand over the entire company, it wouldn’t be worth a penny to me.

The thing I was most concerned about when Eden debuted in the entertainment industry was pillow sales or something related to that, but this bastard is trying to manipulate her like this? When Eden said something about this, she should have stopped it a long time ago.

… No, in some ways, if she had died then, she would have died without being known to the world, but is it better now that she will die after being talked about in the neighborhood?

She’s going to fall behind anyway, so wouldn’t it be better for her to die in a more interesting way? At least on this side.

And while going down the list, I was able to see the postscript that Zion had left. The others were relatively ordinary, but this one seemed to have left a separate message since it was related to the business world.

[I am the majority shareholder of this company, so if there is a problem, I will threaten the owner and say that I will be the black knight at the shareholders’ meeting, so don’t worry. And personally, I don’t like this guy either.]

“After all, she is my wife.”

My wife’s wife is amazing!!!!
