The Hero Became Obsessed With The Villain [part 1 Complete]

Chapter 180: The City Stained Black

[Muahahaha! That's right. Of course, I never thought you'd go down that easily, so I thought it was just a show, but Arielle was going crazy and I even thought about storming into Korea to get revenge for you all at once!]

"Oh my, chairman. Am I really such an easy person to kill? Hahaha! Your words alone are appreciated, but there's no need to go that far. The media always exaggerates things anyway."

[I guess you're right. But, by the way, I saw news about you somewhere and my daughter was so surprised and crying and stuff. She seemed to want to see you...]

"Haha, Ariel? I should go see her later then."

[Sure, come visit anytime. Lattice City is always open to you. Oh, and I heard that the meeting of the Cathedral or something like that is happening soon. You should come to see it then.]

-Muahahaha!

With Atlas' hearty laugh, the call came to an end.

"Phew..."

After ending the call with Atlas, the ruler of the North Atlantic, I breathed a sigh of relief.

...Why would they come to Korea and seek revenge? Revenge for what?

From now on, I'll designate Soobin as my hotline and have her receive my calls instead. Sigh.

But, ever since I heard that Arielle was worried about me, I couldn't stop thinking about her.

Hmm... What if I try to recruit Ariel Ego Stream? If I do it really well, it might be possible? Of course, I'd need Atlas' permission...

As I was thinking about that, something entered my mouth.

It was a yellow tangerine slice.

"Hmm?"

Without thinking, I opened my mouth and it went inside. It was sour and tasty when I chewed on it.

When I looked down, I saw Seo Jayoung lying on the bed reading a comic book, eating a tangerine with one hand. She was probably giving me one while eating for herself.

She fiddled with the tangerine with her small hand, peeling it and putting one piece after another into my mouth. Her hoodie sleeves were too big, so her hands looked even smaller.

As I chewed on the tangerine that had entered my mouth, I thought to myself.

...But wait, when did this tangerine come in?

"Hey, how long have you been here?"

"...I came in while you were on the phone. Didn't even notice, huh?"

Seo Ja-young said, munching on an orange.

...She's really standing out in a strange way.

"Okay, let's go now."

"Huh? I just got here..."

"We need to eat breakfast."

"But my breakfast is oranges... ugh..."

I lifted Seo Ja-young up with my telekinesis and took her outside.

She used to toss and turn at first, but now she's lying on her back in mid-air reading a comic book.

...She's going to ruin her eyesight like that.

Anyway, I went out into the living room like that.

My body is much better now, so I can use my powers as much as I want without any problems. Probably. And sometimes I have to use them little by little to keep my senses sharp.
