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

Chapter 231-239

After hearing Nguyen's decision,

Guided by Laichai, we went to a nearby cafe, took some photos, and had tea separately—I with Yun Hye-ra, and Laichai with Nguyen. Then, Yun Hye-ra and I headed to our booked accommodation.

"Hey, Nguyen."

"Yes."

"Nguyen? Are you from Vietnam?"

"Ah. May I say who I am?"

"If it's about Mr. Laichai."

"I am such a person."

"!!!!"

Screeeech.

The car suddenly came to an abrupt halt.

Fortunately, there were no cars behind us, so we could move forward again without any trouble. Laichai gaped, staring at Nguyen, who had taken off his Ectoplasm Infimask, through the rearview mirror.

"My goodness. My god. To think I was having tea alone with the greatest hero of this country. My, how could this be...!"

Thinking about it, Nguyen was as popular as Gwang Ik Gong in Korea, so I understood Laichai's sudden stop.

"Haha, this is something. Sorry about the sudden braking. I was so surprised, I couldn't help myself."

"Not having a sudden acceleration is lucky enough. It's fine. It's Nguyen's fault for taking that off without saying not to be startled."

"...You talk about Nguyen as if it's nothing. Are national intelligence agents 'such people'? Ah, never mind. Don't want to hit the brakes suddenly again."

Laichai avoided learning about Yun Hye-ra's and my true identities.

He might guess who we are, but he probably couldn't guess our villain ranks or names precisely.

"...Sigh. Never thought I'd see such a day."

Still, Laichai was astounded.

"Let's... put it back on."

"Understood."

"...And I'll keep speaking the same way. Suddenly using honorifics because I know your identity might catch the attention of others."

Laichai kept taking deep breaths to calm himself, and Nguyen put the Ectoplasm Infimask back on, revealing his white teeth.

"Mr. Manager? You called my name..."

"I had something to say to Hero Nguyen. Driver, please go slowly."

Once the speed had appropriately slowed down, I took out a used tablet.

"Hero Nguyen. How long has it been since we met?"

"...About half a day, around 6 hours."

"That's right. 6 hours. A person of interest has been walking around without his ThaiWatch for 6 hours. Laplace might start getting nervous."

"......!"

It's not Taeguk Watch.

It's ThaiWatch.

The manufacturer was Haegneul from Korea, but the flag reflected on the watch's glass was the flag of Thailand.

"Where is your ThaiWatch now?"

"...At home. Today, I took a leave."

"You came prepared. Excellent."

And of course, Nguyen joined us without his ThaiWatch.

"But your opponent probably knew your intentions and movements. They lost you the moment you left the airport. And now, they're frantically looking for you."
