My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness - Chapter 199

Coming Hands

A community in Korea.

〈But since the dragon I saw in Japan appeared〉

– It seems like they’ve given up on the Hahoe mask now and they don’t stop people from taking pictures or videos? Just a few days have passed and a ton of evidence is suddenly pouring in. Even though it’s all taken in Japan.

└It’s funny that you debuted so brilliantly and now you’re hiding it. But why didn’t they bring out that dragon again? I want to see you again!

└Hyung Ha… When will you come back to Korea…? I’m scared of the night without Ha-hyung. ㅜㅜ

└But the villains who used to come out one by one after Hahoe Mask went to Japan are disappearing quickly these days, right? It looks like the Guardian has finally started working haha.

It wasn’t even a week since Hahoetal revealed the dragon he saw in Kyushu.

Naturally, the topic is bound to continue every day on the Internet, where the excitement has not cooled down.

Of course, new incidents still occur every day, but the shock from that time was not weak enough to subside after only a few days.

Not only was its presence firmly ingrained in people’s minds, but it even made it to the top of overseas topics!

It was natural that Koreans, who are sensitive to the reactions of other countries, showed deep interest in Hahoe Tal, who wears a representative Korean mask on his face and works abroad.

Of course, there were not only positive reviews about him…

-But is it okay for people in our country to act like that in other countries? Isn’t this a diplomatic problem?

└Fact) Hahoetal is already a criminal who can do whatever he wants in Korea.

└But if you think about it, isn’t this a disgrace to the country? Criminals who were missed because they could not be caught in their own country are active abroad and are making their names known. If this is the case, what is our country’s position?

└What’s wrong? Even in Japan, they can’t catch that criminal.

This was because there were quite a few people who felt uncomfortable with his radical actions.

Whatever it was, it was inevitable as it was revealed that he was a criminal who abused judgment at will, and that he was also a necromancer who used notorious black magic.

Additionally, the reactions seen overseas when the news of Hahoe Mask was spread were generally similar.

A subtle reluctance mixed with a certain degree of curiosity.

In that respect, public opinion in Japan, where a ‘purification operation’ is currently underway in real time, was truly a crucible of confusion with various opinions mixed together.

-The masked dark hero visited our neighborhood yesterday. I saw it today and there were lots of police around there.

-Until now, I was living in fear because they didn’t care about the police or the guardians, so I just watched what they thought… Do you think I can live with peace of mind now?

This person shows a subtle anticipation of the changes that will follow after Hahoe Mask’s visit.

-I live in Fukuoka, so I can definitely feel it. Of course, it didn’t take long for small children to take up the empty seats.

-Still, it’s on a different scale in terms of scale, so it’s much better than before. I don’t know how long this will last.

└It’s the same where I live. The new kids who come in have a selfish side. I wish Lee Neung-guk would take action when the power is down like this, but it would be quicker to pray for the masked hero to come back than to hope that these incompetent bastards will do their job properly, right?

A person who expresses secret satisfaction with the results after he has already been there.

-Are you all retarded? Why do you like it so much when Korean criminals come into our country and are massacring Japanese people?

└My words. What is Lee Neung-guk doing? Hurry up and catch him! Is it possible to live with anxiety?

└But they only hunt criminals like the Hahoetal Yakuza?

└Aren’t the Yakuza Japanese? Even if they catch him, we should catch him. Why did the Korean guy come forward? This must be compensated by Korea.

└Isn’t it a problem because they are already in a collusive relationship and they haven’t caught it?

There are those who recklessly express rejection of feelings between nations and those who argue against them.

Since they were directly involved, they had no choice but to react more sensitively than other places.

And that interest was bound to get worse when it moved to a specific organization rather than ordinary people—.

Beoncheonhoe, who tried to catch criminal organizations and Hahoetal in Japan, who were in a desperate situation right now, but retreated after taking a single blow, were representative of these people.

***

An accommodation in China filled with colorful decorations.

Jing- Jing-

With a mechanical sound vibrating softly in his head, a man in his thirties sitting in a wheelchair moved his eyes steadily with an expressionless face, like a robot.

Accordingly, data collected from all over the world and organized systematically were stored in his head.

They thoroughly reviewed and attached not only the information they researched on their own, but also the information that others analyzed for fun and posted on the Internet.

It was truly the result of the branch’s all-out effort in collecting information.

“Tsk.”

However, the man in charge, who had read the entire report displayed on the monitor in the office, just leaned back on the back of his chair and whined in dissatisfaction.

He frowned as if he didn’t like something and continued to massage between his eyes.

“Ruler~? “It looks like things aren’t going well!”

Then suddenly.

His body flinched at the sudden frivolous voice.

Until just now, I was obviously the only one in this room.

But that was only for a moment, and he soon lowered his hand that was massaging his eyes and calmly turned his head.

“…doctor.”

As expected, a familiar middle-aged man with scattered gray-brown hair and a dirty beard was there, looking at him with a grin.

“It’s been a while since I last saw you! “So, are your new eyes okay?”

“Yes, thanks.”

“Puh-hyah-hyah!” That’s right, thanks to me! So… what’s more disappointing?”

The doctor suddenly looks straight and ends his sentence in a low voice, as if asking if he had ever laughed so hard.

As he was running around like always, the ruler just bowed his head.

“I heard the news from Japan. “I heard you ate it up in a really big way?”

“…no shame.”

“Well, isn’t that possible? This is the dragon I’ve seen in the world! I didn’t even think about it! Does this mean you’re a more interesting friend than I thought? “Pahyahahah!”

The doctor burst out laughing again as if he had gone mad, and soon wiped the tears from his eyes and brought up the main topic he had come for.

“I received a call that the owner had returned.”

“…Is that so.”

Hoeju’s movements were a top secret.

Of course, the position of the ruler was by no means low as he was the head of the East Asia branch, including China, the birthplace of the Buncheonhoe, and was in charge of banning major organization members.

The news will probably reach him soon.

However, he had no choice but to be pushed out of priority for information compared to the Doctor, who was the leader’s right hand man.

But the reason he came all the way here and said this…

“Hoeju was also very interested when he saw that bone dragon! “Don’t you usually like unusual things like that?”

“Can you say that…?”

“That’s right! Why don’t you say you want to see that smile mask in person? Of course, I plan to join in too! Phew!”

“Are you speaking directly from the Lord? “The Oracle is…”

When the ruler, taken aback by those sudden words, said someone else’s name, the doctor’s expression, which had been laughing, crumpled as if he had heard something even though he couldn’t hear it.

“…Hmph, for some reason, the woman wasn’t really sure this time, right? So what can you do? “I have no choice but to remain quietly depressed!”

However, even for a moment, he had a triumphant expression on his face and continued speaking in an arrogant manner.

“It was so refreshing to see the woman who used to make noise whenever she wanted to do something shut up! Isn’t the future not something that is set in stone, but something we have to pioneer ourselves? I really wish Hoeju wouldn’t listen too much to what a woman like that says!”

They were on opposite sides of each other in terms of their abilities and inclinations, and they had a very bad relationship with each other.

If the Doctor is Hoeju’s right arm, she is his left arm.

Perhaps, if it weren’t for his presence, they wouldn’t have been in the organization they did.

“Then let’s go to dinner now.”

“Ughhhhh! “What do you ask when you know his personality?”

As expected.

The ruler, who had a premonition of something, slowly nodded.

“It’s almost time to arrive…”

Crash—

The door opened wide without warning, as if cutting off the doctor’s words.

“It’s been a while, everyone. “Are you feeling alright, Lord?”

A man with a low voice and a strange air surrounding him entered the room.

At first glance, it seems ordinary, but when you look at it again, it gives off a suffocating and intimidating feeling, but if you try to look at it properly, it feels blurry—.

A being that is completely unpredictable.

“Thanks to your concern, I feel a lot better.”

“Wow, they say even the devil will come if I say so! “You came at just the right time, Hoeju!”

The head of Beoncheonhoe, a transnational criminal organization that exerts enormous influence behind the scenes around the world.

After being away for a long time due to some kind of business, he finally set foot on Chinese soil again.

In order to personally catch Hahoe Tal active in Japan.

***

“Why are my ears so itchy?”

Boom—

I was continuing my routine at the home gym as usual, carefully putting down the heavy barbell and picking my ears hard.

‘Is someone even talking about me?’

That thought crossed my mind for a moment, but then quickly disappeared.

If you think about it that way, there were a lot of things to point out, but there were so many that it felt natural.

I lightly shrugged my shoulders and bent down again to pick up the barbell.

“Huh—!”

Hans was bound to be in a position that was criticized for one reason or another.

Not to mention in another world, you’ve recently become active publicly in Japan as well, so isn’t there a lot of talk about it?

Of course, such a trend of public opinion was already known.

‘But I have no intention of changing my course of action depending on public opinion.’

So far everything has gone well.

In the process of overthrowing Japan, they broke the Beoncheonhoe trap and, in turn, inflicted considerable damage on them.

Based on their experience so far, they are not the kind of people who will sit still even after being harmed, so there will probably be retaliation in some way sooner or later.

All he had to do was prepare for that time and quietly carry on doing what he had been doing so far.

‘The task of completely burning down their base.’

I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

What could be more enjoyable than tearing down a tower that someone else had worked so hard to build!

‘Only a few days have passed since the first collision. They will also need time to regroup. Still, I’m not planning on completely abandoning Japan, so it won’t be that long.’

Of course, we would have prepared more thoroughly the second time, but whatever preparations Beoncheonhoe had made were meaningless.

Of course, the Bone Dragon Heratos, who can now be used without hesitation, and the newly joined Abyss Revenant Salma…

‘If anything goes wrong, just throw it away.’

The ultimate escape method of canceling the summons was also ready at any time.

‘Then the Earth is done. The situation on the Outerica side is a bit complicated, but… well, it’s going to be relatively smooth.’

Thump—

the barbell was placed on the floor again with a heavy sound.

After finishing the training set, I relaxed my shoulders and glanced to the side.

“Whoop!” hook-! hook!”

Sweat pouring down from my whole body like rain and heavy breathing as if I was going to pass out at any moment.

There was a tall young man in light clothing, training his lower body with squats with a barbell slung over his shoulders.

‘Hmm, you’re handsome too.’

I looked at him and nodded happily.

Of course, the identity was ‘Hugo’, the avatar that could be newly created this time.

As always, it went into extreme hard training mode right after it was created.

However, one thing that is unique is that this time, he did not particularly modify his appearance, so he looks the same as the alter egos he created in the beginning.

‘Anyway, it doesn’t matter because you can always modify your appearance through “customization” later.’

Hugo’s current job was to fill in for me when I was away, along with various other chores.

With this, I will be able to neatly solve the gap that arises due to my recent frequent use of “object projection”.

Of course, leaving the room for a short time wouldn’t cause any major problems, but everything was in good condition in the first place.

‘Hmm, more than that…’

I headed to the shower room with a towel draped over my shoulder.

I walked leisurely, looked at the situation in the other world, and nodded.

‘Shall we focus a little more on that side for a moment now?’

It was just before a meaningful event began in Outerica.

***

When I came out of the blue light swirling gate.

The first person Heinrich encountered was a very familiar face to him.

“Welcome, saint. Thank you for your hard work.”

A girl with bright silver hair and sparkling gold eyes that scatter the surrounding light.

Saint Hatianus, Riesta, wearing a halo that brightened the surroundings just by appearing, welcomed the group of warriors with a gentle smile.

“Welcome to the Grand Temple of Roselia.”

It was the moment when Heinrich finally arrived at the Great Hall of the Holy Land after a long overseas trip to participate in the Second Continental Summit.
