I Became the Academy's Kibitz Villain [part 1]

Chapter 165: A Chaotic Week (1)

Despite the many events of the day, it was surprisingly only the second day of practice.

In just one day, too many events had occurred: many people died, and a formidable entity was killed.

People plunged into chaos, mixing baseless rumors with fear.

However, there was one thing.

Thanks to the information announced at dawn, people felt somewhat relieved.

"Brewer, did anything unusual happen while I was asleep?"

"Unusual? Yes. The Chairman appeared on TV and gave a speech. It was broadcast worldwide due to hacking."

"...Is there a recording of it?"

One piece of certified information.

The Goblin of Chilryeon Society had executed an entity named Duoexini.

This information was so certain that no verification was needed.

Not because it was factual but because the Chief herself had announced it.

The Chief did not lie.

A person aiming for world domination could not afford to lie, as no one would believe them. Hence, her principle was always to speak the truth.

...At least when she was in front of the media.

"She said she would handle it personally, so revealing the truth was her way."

"You don't like it?"

"No, I don't."

While adding shrimp sauce to my rice soup, I rechecked the video.

"The Chairman announcing that I killed Duoexini had two purposes: one, to prevent accusations against the Platinum Sun, and secondly, to inform the world about Duoexini's death."

"Duoexini's death?"

"Yes. Rather than gaining from hiding information, it's crucial to spread it quickly to calm the world's chaos. Look at this."

I opened a stock app on my tablet.

"The Nasdaq hit rock bottom as soon as the news broke that 500 people died due to a demon released by Duoexini in Korea, especially since he wasn't captured during the chaos."

Korea's crisis causing a crash in the U.S. stock market?

It was expected.

Korea was the world's center; a disaster there meant global panic.

"Even a circuit breaker was triggered, halting all trades."

"And it was lifted..."

"Thirty minutes had passed since the official broadcast from the Chilryun Society."

Investors in the U.S. must have felt like they were in hell.

A demon in Korea that couldn't be dealt with suggested a global threat.

"My reputation as Duoexini's killer has prevented an international economic collapse. The Chairman deemed it crucial, and I concur."

"Well, it's not like the Chairman needs your opinion..."

"The Chairman's opinion is mine. And she would never allow me to suffer losses."

"Even if it means a full-scale war with Pandemonium?"

"That would be even better."

Upon reflection, this was an opportunity.

"Now the world has united against Duoexini and his backers. No one dares side with them. With the Chilryun Society leading the charge, resolving this issue will propel us toward our goal of world domination."
