I Became a Villain's Hero [Complete]

Chapter 62: Weight Class Difference (6)

With crescent-moon shaped eyes and a prominent nose bridge, Stella had brown, wavy hair, a tall figure, and curvy chest and hips.

To some, she might seem like an ordinary beauty one might encounter occasionally.

Yet, her actions were anything but ordinary.

She was the first to initiate a conversation with Song Soo-yeon, asking if she had any dreams.

Soo-yeon, finding her suspicious, had no interest in continuing the conversation.

Turning her body away, she began to leave.

"Are you going to leave me here like this?"

Stella's soft voice called from behind.

Soo-yeon kept walking, unfazed.

Stella calmly followed, insisting,

"I'm not suspicious. Let's just talk for a moment."

"...Get lost."

"You're quite prickly. Okay, but could you spare me a little time..."

"I said no-"

Before she could finish, Stella swiftly caught up, using her height to drape an arm over Soo-yeon's shoulder.

She then thrust her phone in front of Soo-yeon.

A video was playing.

"...Still don't have time?"

Feeling uncomfortable, Soo-yeon stopped, about to shake off Stella's arm and use her power.

But then, the video caught her eye.

It was CCTV footage with Soo-yeon at the center.

Stella pointed at the video.

"This is you, Soo-yeon, right?"

Soo-yeon remained silent.

In the video, her hand glowed purple, and all the workers in the warehouse froze like puppets with severed strings.

Only Soo-yeon moved freely.

"Really... that's an incredible power,"

Stella murmured, awestruck.

Soo-yeon felt a chill.

Unable to respond, she realized she was completely exposed.

She had always used her abilities impulsively, never expecting such a moment.

Stella continued, her voice filled with fascination.

"...Is this hypnosis? Or control? Whatever it is, it's rare to see power affecting over a hundred people. How many can you handle?"

Struggling, Soo-yeon asked,

"...Are you... a hero?"

"Me?"

Stella seemed surprised, then burst into loud laughter.

Soo-yeon looked up at her.

After her laughter subsided, Stella spoke softly,

"I'm a villain, a villain. That's what everyone says, at least."

Soo-yeon stepped back, gasping for breath at Stella's frank admission.

Stella didn't pursue her but showed her palms, reassuringly.

"Don't be so scared, Soo-yeon. Even if I'm a villain, I don't harm people without reason."

She approached the retreating Soo-yeon.

"Besides, I'm here today with a proposal. How about joining us?"
