I BECAME THE VILLAIN THE HERO IS OBSESSED WITH

IV. The Art of Escape

"Hahaha... This can't be happening."

A cold wind blew on the rooftop.

I was standing there, laughing like I was out of my mind.

"H-Human beings are not such selfless creatures, you know! I thought they were going to press the button but how! How come they didn't press it?"

I started talking to myself like a madman.

Looking in the sky, my hands floundered in the air.

And at the same time, I stopped my hands and stared at Stardus, standing in front of me.

"Oh"

My short words.

Looking at Stardus, I said.

"It was because of you."

Of course, it was not because of Stardus.

I ordered the captains to throw the detonators into the ocean right after her hero speech.

But it is a secret between the captains and me.

In front of the cameras that are broadcasting live all over the country.

I pretended to know nothing.

As if this terrorism failed thanks to Stardus' speech.

I moved my lips.

"Everyone suddenly became united after your speech."

And I laughed like a madman.

"Ha, haha. Hahahahahahahahaha! Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!"

Gosh, this is so embarrassing.

I held back my shame and kept laughing like a madman.

Stardus' stared at me as if she was seeing a maniac.

Ugh, do you know how a fan feels when his favorite character looks at him with a scornful face?

I laughed for a while.

The reason why she did not come at me while I was busy laughing was I had the detonators in my hand.

She could not relax until the ships came to the harbor, and everyone got off.

I opened up again after laughing for a while.

"Okay. Alright. I guess I underestimated you. It was something that no one else could do. You wouldn't just enlighten the public with a single word, right?

Hmm.

We have a problem.

I am starting to have no idea what I am talking about.

Who was I in my previous life?

I was an ordinary Korean man.

I mean, in front of a monster who can kill me in five seconds with just a single touch, I am not used to talking fluently when the whole nation is watching me.

Until now, I said what I prepared but I'm starting to lose my mind now.

The wind is so cold, and I am freezing.

I should have worn a heattech underneath the robe.

Wait, why am I worrying about this now...

I am fucked up. I am slowly losing my mind.

I should get ready now.

Ready for what? Ready to escape.

"Ahem, ahem. My bad. Stardus, I guess I underestimated you."
