The Hero Became Obsessed With The Villain [part 2 Complete]

Chapter 234: Faith

"Da-in, you're Egostic, aren't you?"

PMC.

The organization I had established and brought together individuals with extraordinary abilities. The PMC members all gazed at me, and no.1 had a serious expression on their face as they spoke to me.

As soon as I heard those words, without a change in my expression, I replied in an indifferent tone, "What are you saying? Don't talk nonsense."

"Da-in, we all know before deciding to talk to you."

And at that moment, it felt like time had almost come to a standstill as I began to turn my head in confusion.

'Gosh. How could they possibly know...?'

I had made sure not to exhibit any behavior that might associate me with Egostic. I had never even shown them my primary abilities, teleportation, and telekinesis. But looking at their expressions now, it didn't seem like a casual accusation. They were speaking seriously and with a conviction that suggested they had already discussed this among themselves.

...I've been exposed, there's no other way to see it.

I don't know how they found out, but now that it's out in the open, I need to come up with a plan. I was ready to teleport at a moment's notice and began considering all the emergency plans I had prepared, from plan A to E.

In just a few seconds, countless plans vanished from my mind, and I finally made a decision. Alright, this is how it has to be.

Just as I was about to put my resolve into action, someone from PMC, Seo Chaeyoung, urgently shouted.

"Wait! We don't care at all whether you're Egostic or a hero!"

"...?"

"That's right."

Then, the superpower user with blue hair, San Sua, nodded her head beside her.

"Whether Da-in is a villain or a hero, we don't care at all."

Then, Lee Segeom chimed in,

"We've already decided to follow you, so would we betray you for such a trivial reason?"

"That's correct!"

Heo Dahee raised her hand and added.

"We just want you to be honest with us. Whatever you do, we'll follow you."

Listening to the words of my disciples that I had personally trained, I quietly thought to myself.

'...'

When I consider it based on the intuition I've developed as a top-tier villain up until now, this doesn't seem like the sudden atmosphere where they would say, 'Actually, we were just joking!' and turn hostile. I even considered the possibility that this might be a coordinated move with Stardus to lull me into complacency to capture me, but... yeah, I can think about that later. Regardless, I have a specialized escape ability, teleportation.

After completing my strategic assessment, I let out a small sigh and promptly acknowledged the kids.

"Okay... I'm Egostic."

In response to my shocking confession, the kids' reactions were...

"Hmm, as expected."

"Yes, we knew."

Everyone nodded as if it were an obvious thing. Well, they seem to accept it without any fuss. Nevertheless, they didn't appear hostile toward me. Whether I was a villain or a hero, our teacher-student bond remained strong. I'm proud of my disciples!
