Approximately two days had passed since the Red Scarf incident.

I immediately fled to Gangwon Province, hid myself, stole some clothes from a rural marketplace, and then took a taxi home.

Teleporting home while still appearing as Goblin?

[That's where the Goblin disappeared! Fire the missiles!]

[Minister! That's a densely populated area!]

[I don't care! Just disguise it as an accident caused by the Goblin's explosion! It's a small sacrifice for the greater good! Kill him!!]

If I returned home as Goblin, a missile might have suddenly flown to my house while I was asleep.

This was that kind of neighborhood.

After Red Scarf's head exploded.

I disposed of Red Scarf and immediately hid myself to avoid those coming in from afar.

Snow White did not chase me.

She appeared to be greatly shocked by the 'assassination' of the villain, and I didn't have time to comfort her.

[Let's meet again next time. Sorry, but I don't have time for goodbyes right now.]

[There's a Goblin over there!! Catch him!!]

Those who had rushed from afar were the government's 'Execution Squad'.

Unlike me, who was a villain that captured or killed other villains, the government also formed a special squad to eliminate villains.

[It's a plea bargain! If you bring in the Villain Executioner, Goblin, we'll grant you a stay of execution. But you must follow the higher-ups' orders.]

[What? I can get out of prison, kill people if I follow orders, and above all, catch that bastard Goblin with my own hands? Bring the stamp!]

I had captured quite a few villains.

There was a process they called 'resocialization', but the people in this process could be truly called the government's dogs.

These dogs embellished, covered up, and manipulated situations as part of their daily routine to ensure the state was not disadvantaged.

A prime example was this news headline.

"The Goblin Smashes Red Scarf's Head."

The dirty deeds committed by these dogs were twisted to suit their needs by the media as well as the V-Tube Lexica.

"That cruel bastard. How could he blow up the head of a young man who just became an adult and was freshly released from a juvenile center just because he's a villain?"

"That's your story."

"That's why I'm saying it."

I exchanged greetings with a woman I met in a seldom-visited cafe.

"Chairwoman. Don't you think this is too much? The country treats him recklessly just because he's a villain."

"Living as a villain is like this. The only option is to fight formally. Become a V-Tube star and secure fans."

This small blonde-haired girl, around 20 cm shorter than me, who could easily be mistaken for a young child, was the head of our evil organization, the 'Suicide Squad', Yi Maemangnyang.

"How about you, Chief Do? Do you want to debut as an idol? A villain idol. If you become a male idol that people love to hate, so-called fans will defend you even if you kill a villain."
