The Hero is Hunting me! Chapter 4: Fright

*At the Korean branch of the Hero Association*

Several heroes, including Ji-hye, were seen watching CCTV footage from an illegal experint site in the slums.

More specifically, Professor Teros’s site, which was attacked by Indigo yesterday.

The footage showed Indigo defeating ard n with just one hand.

Indigo walked casually as he faced them all, even though there were hundreds of people inside.

"This is crazy... he’s really strong."

"Right, no wonder Miss Ji-hye had such a hard ti fighting him,"

several heroes said.

Ji-hye, anwhile, was lost in thought.

"Why doesn’t he ever get serious when fighting ? If he did, I’d probably be dead by now."

"Ji-hye?"

the director called out to Ji-hye.

"Ah! Yes, what’s wrong, Director?"

"What are you thinking? You didn’t even hear a few tis."

"Ah... I’m sorry, Director... I’m just confused. Why doesn’t Indigo ever fight seriously and just runs away after pretending to lose?"

Ji-hye said in a confused tone, holding her chin as if she were curious.

"Isn’t that better? If he’s not serious, then you can be serious?"

"I... don’t really understand."

"Look, if he’s not serious when fighting you, isn’t that a good thing? That way, you can fight him seriously, and when he’s off guard, you can catch him,"

the Director said in a low voice.

What the Director said was true. Indigo had never shown his serious side when fighting him, but in the CCTV footage, Indigo looked serious.

"Really... why is he so annoying?"

*At Yoo Jinhoo’s house*

I sat relaxed on the sofa I had just bought.

"Ah... this is really delicious,"

I muttered and began to relax on the sofa.

Suddenly, Lee Donghyun’s sister, Mira, arrived carrying a cup of coconut water.

"Boss! My sister made this in the kitchen, she said to give it to you!"

"Ah, thank you,"

I said with a sweet smile to Mira while stroking her brown hair.

Lee Mira is Lee Donghyun’s younger sister.

In the webtoon, Lee Mira died from hemorrhaging due to experints conducted by Professor Teros.

Lee Donghyun and Lee Mira managed to escape the facility, but because Mira had already been used as an experint, Lee Mira only survived for two days.

From that day on, Lee Donghyun went insane and beca a villain, creating nurous technologies used to exterminate the citizens.

He is also skilled with computers, aka a hacker.

As a result, Lee Donghyun, an S-class villain, is the most difficult for Lightnova to defeat.

It’s not that he’s good at dodging all kinds of attacks, he’s always managed to manipulate Lightnova, from his thoughts to his actions.

He’s also adept at disguising himself. Using just a device he created, he can disguise himself as 10—no, 100—different people at will.

That’s why he’s the most difficult villain to defeat. In the webtoon alone, it took 31 Chapters to complete this arc.

And now...

Well... he’s beco very cheerful.

It’s because I saved them. They’ve beco good children and obey all my orders, even though I never asked them to beco my subordinates.

Lee Mira and Lee Donghyun are two years apart, which ans Lee Mira is currently 12.

And next month is her birthday. Should I prepare her a gift?

Looking at my current financial situation, it seems like I still have a lot of unspent money.

Although I only took a quarter of the bank robbery yesterday due to negotiations, this is still a lot in the eyes of poor people, enough to buy an apartnt.

I then looked at the calendar.

It turned out that today was the coronation of the Princess of France.

So, I turned on the TV.

[Currently broadcasting live in Paris, Princess Madeleine de Beaumont]

The princess was seen waving her hands.

In the webtoon, Madeleine is the current princess of France.

And in fact, she’s an S-rank Hero.

Many people don’t know this fact.

That’s because Madeleine herself has hidden her identity.

Nicknad Oceanaria.

As her na suggests, she’s a water-type Hero.

In the webtoon, she can even control large ocean waves, even causing tsunamis.

However, she has a tragic fate.

He will die after fighting the French S-rank villain, Andreo.

And his death is already sealed. Tomorrow, when Andreo attacks Paris, a beautiful blue-haired woman will appear as a Hero nad Oceanaria.

Unfortunately, she will die tomorrow.

"Hmm... should I help her?"

I muttered to myself.

"Boss, what are you thinking about so seriously?"

"Huh? Oh... nothing,"

I said to Mira, who was watching with a confused look.

"Oh yeah... don’t call boss, just call big sister. I feel uncomfortable when soone calls that,"

I said to Mira, who seed to imdiately agree, nodding her head.

*The next day, in Paris*

"Ugh!"

Oceanaria was seen being sent flying by Andreo’s attack.

"Hahahaha! Is that all the power of the famous S-rank Hero?"

Andreo said confidently, standing with his usual spear. It was incredibly sharp, even the handle.

Because of this, Oceanaria seed overwheld and defeated when fighting Andreo.

"Ugh... you... bastard!"

Oceanaria seed to be using her powers. The surrounding water began to gather and form a sharp spear at the tip.

Oceanaria quickly aid the water spear at Andreo.

"this Water..."

Andreo imdiately slashed the water with his spear, instantly lting into the ground.

"useless to ! Hahahahaha!!"

Of course, Oceanaria couldn’t defeat him. Andreo was a French S-rank villain who possessed an anti-elental spear, and this was fatal for heroes with elental powers. In the future, Andreo would also face Lightnova.

Of course, Lightnova had a hard ti fighting him because she was also an elental user.

*On Indigo’s side*

I was standing on top of the Eiffel Tower.

I saw Oceanaria and Andreo fighting fiercely.

Actually, Oceanaria was the one at a disadvantage in this fight.

She seed to be struggling because of the anti-elental spear.

So I jumped from the Eiffel Tower.

Just before hitting the ground, I teleported to avoid the impact of the fall.

I teleported into the middle of the battle between Andreo and Oceanaria.

"Huh? Who are you? Stop interrupting my fight!"

Andreo said to .

"You! Get out of there! You’re going to die!"

Oceanaria said to with a panicked expression.

She thought I was a cosplayer playing around.

"Alright, alright, let’s stop this fight!"

"Huh!? Who are you to give orders? Take this!"

With that, Andreo ran toward with his spear.

I imdiately pointed my index finger at his right arm.

Suddenly, a dark blue light hit Andreo’s right arm.

Andreo looked shocked, imdiately falling to the ground after losing his right arm, screaming in pain.

"AGHH!!!"

Oceanaria looked at with a shocked expression.

"Let introduce myself, my na is Indigo Reign, I’m a Villain from Korea!"

"Villain!? Shouldn’t you be helping-"

BOOM-

I shot a dark blue light at Andreo’s head, instantly exploding.

"Sorry for the interruption, Miss Oceanaria..."

Oceanaria seed too scared to move. Seeing my S-rank Hero defeated so easily, of course she would be afraid.

*beside Oceanaria*

"W-what is this... I can’t move... I’m too scared."

This Villain nad Indigo... he’s definitely no match for .

Oceanaria watched Indigo walk leisurely toward her.

’N-no... don’t co any closer... please...’

Oceanaria was too afraid to speak and was only speaking through her thoughts.

Indigo was seen patting Oceanaria on the left shoulder.

"Congratulations, you’ve escaped death... Miss Oceanaria... or rather, Madeleine de Beaumont."

Hearing that, Oceanaria imdiately stiffened and fell silent. No one had ever known her identity other than the director of the French branch of the Hero Association.

"Live longer, the world will need soone like you."

With that, Indigo seed to teleport and disappear into thin air.

After Indigo left, Oceanaria imdiately fell to her knees.

"how... how did he know that..."

*beside Indigo*

Huh... I was really scared earlier... I thought that threat wouldn’t work, but luckily it did.
