[Weak Hero X Reader] Romance 101 [OLD VERSION]

A Sealed Deal

'City Representative Oscar Yang's second son, Oswald Yang, was found severely beaten and unconscious in his own bedroom,' Erik Vaelstrom thought as he watched the news. 'Not only Oswald Yang, but his two friends too. The culprit was targeting Oswald Yang and his friends specifically, not Oscar Yang. Of course they trio of brats have many enemies since they're obnoxious pricks that look down on everyone else,'

'But what really catches my eye is the description of the culprit. The description matches Night Baron from the anime and manga series, Detective Conan. What idiot would dress up like that? A cape would get caught in many things and a top hat? Really? Night Baron is a phantom thief that even resorts to murder to escape, but the idiot who dressed up as Night Baron only beat up those three and didn't steal anything,'

'There's only one idiot I can think of that would do such a thing,' Erik's eyes narrowed with suspicion. 'Alistair Rei, the younger brother of my former boss, Craton Rei,' Anger welled up inside of him and he placed a hand to the scar across his eye. 'If it really is Alistair Rei, why is he in South Korea?'

"Sir," His secretary called. "The three boys from Manwol Union have returned,"

"Did they bring the money?" Erik asked.

"They have brought a duffel bag with them," The woman informed. "It contains money, but I will have to count to see if they have brought the full amount,"

"I'll personally count it," Erik told her. "Bring them in,"

The woman opened the door and had the three boys enter. They were all shaking with nervousness. "W-W-We..."

"Spit it out, boy!" Erik hissed. 

"We brought the money!" The middle boy held up the duffel bag.

"I'm going to count them," Erik said. "If I find a single won missing, you're all dead,"

All three boys gulped. It wasn't an empty threat. This wasn't someone who would beat you to near death, but an actually criminal from the underworld who has had experience killing before.

Erik counted each monetary note one by one. The boys sweated buckets, worried that they had forgotten to include a stack. Erik finished counting rather quickly since he had quick hands. He silently stared at the three boys before smirking. "All money accounted for,"

The boy let out a sigh of relief. "S-S-So you'll destroy the Yeongdeungpo Delinquent's Union?"

"Yeah, sure," Erik agreed. "Now get out of my sight," 'I shouldn't worry about Alistair right now. I was hired for a job so it's my main priority. It's a rather easy job. They're all just high schoolers and pretty much fight with only their fists. Since they're making a lot of money through their dumb Union, they might be cocky,'

The Union members were having a meeting. "All of you are disappointments," Donald said. "All of you were defeated by Eunjang," Donald said. "I'm most disappointed in you, Wolf. You were defeated by a newbie, the White Mamba. He's just a scrawny kid with brains but no muscles. I've decided that we will completely annihilate Ben Park and his gang. Jake Ji,"

"Yeah?" Jake asked.

"Do not relay this information to [Your Name]," He ordered. "But keep her away from the fight. I'll deal with Ben Park and everyone else will deal with his friends,"

'[Your Name]...' Jake couldn't speak up. It wasn't the fact that he needed the commission money to pay for Kenny's bills, but it was the fact that Donald was purposely emitting that terrifying aura.

There was a knock at the door. "Daddy?"

Donald furrowed his brows with confusion as he opened the door. "Damon, why are you here? You should be at daycare," 'Do I have to transfer him to another daycare? They haven't even called to tell me that he's missing, just like the old daycare,'

"Daddy, I snuck out and got into your car before you left the daycare!" Damon grinned. "But then I fell asleep and I just woke up and I open the door. I go to elevator and knock on door to door until I got to where Daddy is!"

Donald sighed. "Kingsley, can you bring him back to the daycare? I'll continue explaining the plan and will brief you on what you missed after the meeting,"

"But Daddy," Damon whined. "I want Mommy and Daddy. I don't wanna go back to daycare,"

"I'm very busy," Donald told him. "I'll pick you up after the meeting and buy you a new stuffed animal, okay?"

"Okay," Damon reluctantly agreed. "Frank the Bat needs more friends,"

As Kingsley left with Damon, Donald continued explaining the time and location on where the Union would lure Ben Park and his gang and destroy them. The door creaked open a little and a few canisters were thrown inside, filling the room with gas. 

"What the hell!?"

"What the fuck is going on!?"

"Who's there!?"

All of the windows had been sealed. The door was unable to open. The air vents were blocked. Within minutes, one by one, the Union members all fell unconscious. The door opened and masked figures entered, dragging each Union member out.

"The head of Yoosun High School, Jimmy Bae," The leader of the group identified each unconscious person. "The head of Hyeongshin, Forrest Lee. The head of Ganghak, Wolf Keum. The head of Daehyeon, Jake Ji. And the head of Yeo-Il, as well as the founder and owner of the Yeongdeungpo Delinquent's Union, Donald Na. All five school heads accounted for. Let's scram,"

So Erik only expected capturing the school heads. Kingsley wasn't on the list because he's the second-in-command of Yeo-Il.
