After the nationwide broadcast exposing Egostic as Kim Cheol-woo,

In just a matter of minutes, people flocked to the location where he lived.

It was an unprecedented scene, with people who were curious about whether this man, Kim Cheol-woo, was really Egostic, along with reporters looking for a scoop, and even fans, all gathering in a frenzy.

Fortunately, it was only those who lived nearby who had come so far, as time had not yet passed by.

However, on the flip side, it meant that in a few hours, even more people would flock to the scene.

As a result, the police officers currently guarding the apartment complex were on the brink of despair.

"Sir! Can't we just arrest that guy, Kim Cheol-woo, or whatever he is? This is driving me crazy!"

One junior officer asked his superior while trying to control the crowd. In response, his senior officer, with a stern expression, replied,

"You fool! How can we arrest him without any evidence? Right now, all we have is a unilateral appeal from some villainous organization. We don't even have a warrant."

"But still..."

"Besides, anything related to villains is not within our jurisdiction. It's the Association's business. So, for now, we just have to stand guard until we receive orders from above. The higher-ups will take care of it."

"Ugh... So, until then..."

"That's right. For now, we need to manage these people. Hey, you! Don't climb over the fence!"

In this way, the police officers were kept busy trying to control the growing crowd. This quiet area didn't usually offer much work, but now, they were suddenly overwhelmed by this unexpected turn of events.

And fortunately for them, it wasn't long before someone from the Association arrived.

It was none other than Hero Stardus herself.

"Haa, haa... Hello."

"Oh, Stardus! It's an honor to meet you. Please, come this way."

As the spectators cheered upon seeing Stardus descend from the sky, she followed the guidance of the chief police officer toward the location where Kim Cheol-woo lived.

As she walked down the apartment corridor, the sight that immediately greeted her was a group of police officers gathered in front of one unit.

"Cheol-woo! We'll take you to a safe place first. Come out and see for yourself. Cheol-woo!"

As the police officers knocked hard on the firmly shut front door, the people inside the unit spotted Stardus approaching, causing them to fall back in surprise.

"Oh, S-Stardus!"

"Yes, hello. From now on, I'll take charge here, so please step aside."

"O-Okay!"

With that, the police officers stepped back. Stardus paused for a moment, then grabbed the doorknob and forcibly opened the door.

'...I can compensate for this later.'

For now, she needed to meet this man named Kim Cheol-woo.

She entered the house with such thoughts.

"Haa..."

Upon seeing the broadcast claiming that Egostic was Kim Cheol-woo, she had rushed to the location where he supposedly lived. However, in truth, she wasn't entirely convinced that this man, Kim Cheol-woo, was Egostic.
