The life inside the facility controlled by Yunhwa was a bit livelier than outside. Inside, at least, Kwon Eui Hyun didn't have to witness the sight of people being beaten up. There were no nannies pleading to be spared as they begged to dry their tears, and no adopted sons tearing up on the ground with their hair disheveled like beggars.
So, at times, the thought crossed Eui Hyun's mind that living inside might be better.
Kwon Eui Hyun counted the days. As he counted the days until Z's appearance, Yunhwa suddenly appeared and made an uninteresting joke.
"Hyungnim! If Mr. 90428 gets out of here, let's have a blast together. He says he has plans for himself, and they seem quite worthwhile when you hear about them!"
"Do you want to get caught and come back in?"
"Not really. If I rob a bank, there's a hundred percent chance I'll get caught, right? I have no money and no education, so I have to do something with my body, you know!"
Yunhwa seemed to sincerely believe Kim Taewon's words while treating the situation of humanity's extinction as a joke. So he might be imagining life outside the detention center.
"Study then. With your abilities, you can get into a special school, right?"
"Oh, did I not mention that?"
Yunhwa scratched the back of his head with a puzzled expression.
"The procedure for that is somewhat complicated. But, as you know, in my hometown, there are almost no people who can read, let alone go to school. I was not only rejected but also ridiculed."
"They rejected a natural ability user just because they can't read?"
"At that time, I could only do things like lighting a cigarette without a lighter, so they probably didn't know I could be a perfect fire ability user until I went out of control. I didn't know before I went wild."
"So, that doesn't make sense."
"Doesn't it? Well... But, in the end, I'm satisfied just being here with you, Hyung! That alone is enough for me!"
Hehe.
Seeing Yunhwa laugh heartily, Eui Hyun grimaced and hit the back of his head. He thought that the special ability school was well-managed, but it seemed that wasn't necessarily the case.
If there's a guy taking money in the middle, there might be instances of neglecting natural ability users too. People think of the special ability school as something to be used, but maybe it needs reform as well.
Eui Hyun bit his lip, lost in thought for a moment.
"Hyungnim! Still, I'll rob a bank just enough to not starve you!"
"Stop talking nonsense and go fleece your followers."
"Yes! Today, too, I'll spread the legend of Hyungnim far and wide!"
The muscular group that had been buzzing and muttering while looking at Yunhwa, shyly cheered as he approached. Wow! Yunhwa-nim, you're amazing today too!
"...They're really something."
Eui Hyun looked at them with an expression of disbelief before quickly turning away.
If there's a predetermined regression point, the starting point of the regression should be Saint Happy Orphanage. However, as long as Kwon Jung Seop adopts children to solidify his political base, the adoption will inevitably lead to abuse.
Eui Hyun remembered what Kim Taewon had said.
"To kill a god, make the god love you."
Is that even possible?
