The Tough Guy Hides the Villainess

Chapter 65

065 – USB Plugged In, Can’t Move

“You b*stard!”

Bang-! Bang bang-!

Wang Ja-hyun stomped and hit the trash can in his house with all his might.

Still not relieved, he broke all the windows in the living room.

“Ahhh!”

Crash-!

Only after the glass shattered and blood flowed from his injured fist did Wang Ja-hyun, burdened with unresolved anxiety, slump down in the now chaotic living room.

“Han Nam-jin, I didn’t think he was such an unreasonable guy─.”

The events from a few hours ago kept replaying in his mind.

The villa had been buzzing with noise from Han Nam-jin’s loud shouting.

“Nam Tae-gun and Seo Do-chul set fire to N-Mart?”

“The evidence is with Wang Ja-hyun?”

“If it’s true, it won’t end with just impeachment.”

People’s gazes instantly focused on Wang Ja-hyun.

If the police, who had been on standby nearby, hadn’t entered the villa to break up the party and take Han Nam-jin away, what would have happened?

Just thinking about it made Wang Ja-hyun’s knees tingle. He turned on his phone and checked the internet.

Buzz, buzz-.

Wang Ja-hyun couldn’t properly check the internet reactions because his phone kept buzzing.

Hundreds of unread messages had already piled up, but he had no desire to check them.

“Han Nam-jin, you b*stard!”

Wang Ja-hyun looked down on Han Nam-jin. They had been clashing over issues like Jang Geun-seong and Sa Ma-jun, but honestly, that was it.

In Wang Ja-hyun’s mind, Han Nam-jin lived on a different stage and carried a completely different weight.

Once they graduated from school, they would be strangers forever.

He thought he could ignore him because of that.

But now, Wang Ja-hyun felt keenly that those who have nothing to lose have no fear.

For Wang Ja-hyun, who had a lot to lose, getting entangled with Han Nam-jin was a loss in itself.

“Why did you suddenly appear in my life and cause trouble?”

Wang Ja-hyun couldn’t contain his boiling anger.

However, it seemed more important to quiet the noisy people than to get angry right now. So, Ja-hyun Wang went to the bedroom and asked Eun-byul Jin, who was tidying her hair.

“Eun-byul, how did it go? Did you call?”

“Yes. I called Grandpa earlier, and he said he would take full responsibility for handling public opinion. You don’t have to worry about that. We’ve paid off a lot of newspapers and broadcasters, so it’ll quiet down soon. .”

“Really!?”

There was only one person who could be referred to as ‘Grandpa’ by Eun-byul.

If he had stepped in personally, there was no need to worry anymore.

Ja-hyun Wang was once again amazed at how powerful a backer Eun-byul had.

This must be why people wanted to sit in high positions.

“But he didn’t say anything specific about Hanamjin. I think he wants you to handle it yourself, Ja-hyun. I also think that’s the right approach.”

“…Me, personally?”

Tension once again gripped Ja-hyun Wang.

To Ja-hyun Wang, Hanamjin was an unknown entity.

He lacked common sense and could act unpredictably.

“Why? Don’t you want to? Just suing and going to trial is boring. For my sake, handle it yourself. Or what? Are you afraid you can’t deal with Hanamjin?”

Swoosh-.

Eun-byul Jin approached and wrapped her arms around Ja-hyun Wang’s body.

“I’m disappointed.”

In truth, Ja-hyun Wang was also afraid of Eun-byul Jin.

She was just as unpredictable.

“When the direct election system is abolished and the hereditary bill is passed, as the only adopted daughter, I will be the top priority for inheritance, you know? And when that happens, I promised to give you that position.”

The inheritance and transfer of the presidency.

It sounded absurd, but once martial law was declared, the world would change.

“So, Ja-hyun, you need to prove your worth to us. To the siblings who looked down on you as the child of a concubine. To Namsanho and Hanamjin, who called you a coward. Show them who you are in the world you will rule.”

Eun-byul Jin’s words whispered like a snake in his ear, shook Ja-hyun Wang’s heart.

Prove.

Ja-hyun Wang’s life has always been a series of proofs.

“I was planning to deal with that b*stard Hanamjin myself soon. Honestly, I could have handled this whole thing alone. Just trust me.”

Indeed, to Ja-hyun Wang, Eun-byul Jin felt more terrifying and formidable than Hanamjin.

Eun-byul Jin had an enormous backer.

“Ja-hyun, you’re the best.”

Smile-.

Jin Eunbyul smiled beautifully.

But to Wang Jahyun, it didn’t look like a smile.

“Oh, by the way! Do you know Baek Yeoul from your school?”

# # #

The detention center was cozier than I thought.

It was a bit cramped, but just having sturdy walls and a ceiling made it a superior version of the shanty house I used to live in.

If the world ends again, maybe I’ll use the prison as a base.

“Are you out of your mind? Do you want to die? Huh?”

“Why did you do such a thing? Who put you up to it? Who?”

The only downside was the noisy police officers who came up to me and barked incessantly.

Why are they so curious?

About an hour passed like that.

A familiar face approached and spoke to the police officers.

“I’m Section Chief Kim Jangdong from the Administration Office. I’m here to take custody of Han Namjin. Is that okay? We have an important witness investigation coming up.”

“What does someone from the Administration Office have to do with our work?”

“Do you know how many of our men got hurt trying to catch that guy? And now you want to just take him away?”

“Shh! You guys, stop it! Ahem, Section Chief, I’m Chief Kim Cheolkwan. You want to take Han Namjin?”

“The custody of Han Namjin will be transferred to our Administration Office.”

Clang, creak-.

The iron door opened.

As I stepped out of the police station, the world was dim.

Inside the black car speeding down the road.

Section Chief Kim Jangdong spoke to me.

“Namjin, you could live comfortably if you wanted to. Why do you take such risks? Is it because of your parents? If it’s revenge you’re after, give it up. You’ll get hurt.”

“Revenge? It’s not that. I can barely remember my parents’ voices now.”

“If it’s not revenge, then what is it?”

Seo Gaeul and Section Chief Kim Jangdong both seem to think I have some sinister revenge or grand cause, but they’re all wrong.

“Section Chief, I’m simpler than I look. I’m happy just having food in the fridge for tomorrow, and if a girl I like smiles at me, I can keep going all day.”

I just wanted to get three promises of ‘soft and tender’ from Seo Ga-eul, and that was all I wanted.

Damn it! What the hell is ‘soft and tender’! My body keeps heating up!

Vroom-.

The smooth-riding sedan slid down the road and soon arrived at our house.

“Namjin, I know you have a great temper, but please stay calm for a while. I’m saying this for your own good, so listen carefully.”

“It’s okay. I’m a ‘special management target,’ aren’t I? So I’m being watched.”

When the world ended, was it a coincidence that Chief Kim Jang-dong made various requests to me?

Not at all. In fact, he was watching me even in the ruined world.

Even now.

Of course, Chief Kim Jang-dong pretended otherwise.

“Special what? Anyway, you might be fine, but I’m dying from cleaning up after you. Why did you have to pick a fight with Jin Eun-byul? Ah, do as you please.”

I always managed well on my own.

After Chief Kim Jang-dong left, I returned home.

“…….”

But there was a problem.

The ‘intruder warning stick’ that had been set up at the gate was knocked over inside, indicating someone had entered.

It was designed to fall inside when the gate was opened.

A burglar, perhaps.

This is why the neighborhood’s location is important.

This neighborhood is great, but the security is terrible.

There are many criminals.

Even a terrifying high school girl kidnapper lives in this neighborhood, doesn’t she?

Thinking such thoughts, I entered the room and found someone sitting on the living room sofa.

It was a man with long hair wearing a leather jacket.

A familiar face, but the peculiar thing was that he was petting Ing-ing.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh-.

Ing-ing, you crazy b*stard!

Letting anyone into the house!

I asked nonchalantly, pretending nothing was wrong.

“Didn’t we see each other at the Seonam Group building back then?”

He was the man I met in front of the elevator when I first met Chairman Seo Do-cheol.

The man who healed my broken leg back then.

To think we would meet again like this.

“Han Nam-jin, it’s nice to see you again. I am Gu Se-jun.”

Gu Se-jun, the leader of the illegal awakeners, the “Villains”?

He was a comrade of “Yeomra” and “Pinocchio,” whom I fought against.

“We don’t have much time, so I’ll get straight to the point. Join us. Our direction is the same. We destroy the old and welcome the new.”

“I don’t work with terrorists. It usually doesn’t end well.”

“But today, you have made a formidable enemy to face alone. Jin Eun-byeol. To be precise, the ‘Concept’ that resides within her. Even we are struggling with that one.”

Turning the “Concept” into an enemy─.

When I found the expression peculiar, the long-haired man, Gu Se-jun, kindly added an explanation.

“The ‘Concept’ that an awakener possesses is not just a simple power. It has a will, like a living creature. And that will sometimes devours people. In other words, one gets consumed by their own concept.”

Consumed by the concept-.

A few things come to mind.

Gu Se-jun spoke as if he had read my thoughts.

“Originally, we called those who were consumed by their concept ‘Conceptuals,’ but since it sounded too positive, we renamed them. Demons. Jin Eun-byeol is that demon.”

Jin Eun-byeol?

The demons I recently encountered were like erupting volcanoes that couldn’t be controlled.

They felt like they would die soon, unable to withstand their own firepower.

But wasn’t Jin Eun-byeol different from that?

“The ‘Concept’ that resides within her is particularly evil. But fortunately, the clearer the will of the ‘Concept,’ the clearer its weakness. This is Jin Eun-byeol’s weakness.”

Swoosh-.

Gu Se-jun handed me a small plastic object.

A USB.

“How is this USB Jin Eun-byeol’s weakness? If I plug it into her body somewhere, will she be immobilized?”

Is there a place to plug the USB into Jin Eun-byeol’s body?

When I looked up, Gu Se-jun was nowhere to be seen.

He was a mysterious man.

“Gu Se-jun, the leader of the terrorist group. Yingying, what kind of person do you think he is?”

━Eeeing Eeeing.

“Yeah, there’s no good guy who comes in with shoes on. But weren’t you the one who opened the door? Eeeing, you crazy b*stard!”

━Grrr…!

With nothing else to do, I plugged the USB into the computer.
