I Became a Villain's Hero [Complete]

Chapter 11: Fall Incident (1)

The more I watched the video, the more convinced I became.

It was him, that man.

".....No..."

As I watched, new questions emerged in my mind.

Why is he going to such lengths for me?

Out of pity for my suffering?

Because he promised to help?

Or... because he loves me?

But can anyone really do this much?

How deeply must he love me to act like this?

How can he go to such extremes?

There he was, a harmless, foolish-looking man, furiously lashing out.

And he wasn't doing it to just anyone.

The number one hero in the rankings.

A hero even the most heinous villains fear.

He was confronting 'Shake' without any hesitation.

Shake speaks in the video.

"Our duty is to fight villains. We prepare for situations that could result in thousands of casualties. We don't have time for other tasks."

Despite the pressure emanating from Shake through the screen, the man stood firm.

"Don't have time? Then what is the top-ranked hero doing here then? You're so busy. Don't lie to me. Heroes have plenty of free time."

Even as Shake's expression twisted uncomfortably, he didn't back down.

"Why do heroes only fight villains! Shouldn't heroes unconditionally help those in need? Is it heroic to pick and choose as you like?"

He boldly conveyed the thoughts Song Soo-yeon had once harbored about heroes.

He had told me that he didn't hate heroes.

You view heroes negatively because you haven't met a true hero, he had reprimanded me.

But the man in the video was different.

He was voicing refreshing words Song Soo-yeon had longed to say.

Without stepping back from Shake, he expressed his anger.

And at that sight, Song Soo-yeon's emotions stirred.

".....Uh.."

A long-forgotten memory surfaced.

She remembered how she was lying on the ground like a broken doll, unable to receive help from a hero.

Her eyes followed the man in the video, pointing at Shake.

Her ears caught his voice through the video, and her mind reminisced about her past self.

All these elements merged, making it seem like the man was expressing anger on behalf of her past self.

It felt like he was addressing the injustice she had felt back then.

Like he was rebuking the hero who had abandoned her.

Unknowingly, Song Soo-yeon bit her lip.

The knot of resentment that had settled in her heart warmed up again.

Her breathing quickened.

Her hand holding the phone trembled slightly.

Standing there, she murmured to herself without realizing.
