Chapter 106
#
With a captivating smile, I snapped my fingers, and dozens of Hunters began attacking each other.
They started assaulting one another with swords, spears, and pistols.
Indeed, the sight of people killing each other amidst chaos was beautiful.
“Are you crazy?! You’re supposed to kill the Villains!”
“My body is moving on its own!”
What foolish idiots. Do they not know the authority of Aži Dahāka?
“The Seed of Chaos. The authority said to be wielded by the Evil Dragon Aži Dahāka.”
“*Baekhwa*. You *bitch*!”
So, there was someone who knew a little about me after all. That's a bit surprising.
“I’ve turned their bodies into chaos, and their minds into chaos, literally. They’ll keep swinging their blades at each other until they self-destruct, won’t they? Because no matter who wins, the survivors will just kill themselves.”
Glancing over to see what the others were doing, Han Suji was swinging her axe, smashing the heads of Ha Jeongseok’s Hunters.
“Wow! This is it! Smashing them with an axe feels the best! ♥”
Even I find that a bit chilling. She’s completely different from the original Han Suji.
But she’s incredibly hot. I want to lick every inch of Han Suji’s blood-splattered face and body.
“This Crazy Bitch is killing people with a smile?”
“Is there a law that says you can’t smile when you kill someone?”
“You *Mutant bitch*! *Guhk*!”
“Quiet.”
Reina, of course, was no different. Each time she fired an arrow, enemies either died from magic poisoning or were obliterated by the sheer force, leaving no limbs intact.
*KWA-AANG! KWANG!*
She was so relaxed, she even shot arrows all over the Cheongwadae building to demolish it.
Choi Siwoo, meanwhile, silently wielded her Sabokgeom. With every swing, Ha Jeongseok’s Subordinates instantly turned into chunks of meat.
*CHWA-A-AAK!*
Hunters, disintegrated in mid-air by the Sabokgeom, fell to the ground, creating a sea of blood.
The sight of the meat chunks, so perfectly dismembered, was quite a spectacle.
“Did I do well?”
Choi Siwoo put away her blood-stained Sabokgeom and acted cute towards me.
“Yes. You did so well. I want to ram my tail all the way into your womb.”
It’s too easy, easier than I thought.
Isn’t it so easy that I wonder if there’s a trap?
I glanced at the chat window on the drone’s broadcast screen, and it was absolute pandemonium.
I only allowed Hunters to participate, but given the significant numbers, it seems the rumor has already spread far and wide.
-I thought the Cheongwadae-affiliated Hunters were A-rank elites, even if not as strong as the Hunter Association? Are they really getting cut down so easily?
-lol It just seems like Baekhwa and the Mutants are strong?
-Look at that. It's the first time I'm seeing a Dark Elf, and every time she shoots an arrow, concrete and ground get pulverized.
-The government is getting owned by a Joseon Villain lol www
-That guy above, his concept is *fucked up*.
-Viewers are 5,000, 6,000. It's gonna hit 10,000 soon. I see English and Russian too.
Anyway, I didn’t want to look at the squiggly letters, so I just skimmed the Korean comments that caught my eye.
Even in this era, it seems there are still trolls like that.
“See that, everyone? If you mess with little Baekhwa, this is what happens, you *fucked-up* bastards. *Kyahaha, kyahaha!*”
“Lady Baekhwa. We have subdued all of Ha Jeongseok’s Hunter Forces. Our side has only wounded, no fatalities.”
Just as I was fondling Choi Siwoo, a Baekhwa Cultist delivered a satisfying report.
Hmm, it certainly looked that way.
An enormous number of them died. They were all completely annihilated.
Our Mutants aren't Human to begin with, so injuries heal quickly.
“Ah. There are probably ordinary people without magic in Cheongwadae too. Still, I don’t want the Government to be paralyzed, so let’s just deal with the President first.”
“Yes!”
But now, the unemployed persons watching the Cheongwadae raid are even sending donations.
Should I take a look? If it’s reasonable, I might even grant it.
So I checked the chat, and indeed, viewers these days had a lot of complaints about the President.
-If you pull out all of Ha Jeongseok’s hair, I’ll donate ten million won.
-lol If you beat up Ha Jeongseok, I’ll donate fifteen million won.
Oh?
“Seems like they’ve harbored a lot of resentment, huh?”
How on earth does a Leader get treated like this by their own Citizens?
Still, pulling out hair and beating someone up isn’t that hard.
I never intended to kill him. My only goal was to properly scare Ha Jeongseok and weaken his forces this time.
The operation was a success, so should I go meet Ha Jeongseok and pull out his hair?
-Ha Jeongseok, that *asshole*. He completely revamped the Hunter Preferential Treatment System, so F-rank Hunters have to work part-time just to afford equipment. That bastard thinks Korea only has Strong Persons.
-And then he redirects the budget to the Family Support Policy to raise the birth rate, but *that son of a bitch*, if he just redirected the budget he spends on the Hunters he cultivates, none of this would be happening.
-Fr fr lol North Korea collapsed, but we can't even reach the Daedong River lol. They call us a Hunter Powerhouse Nation, but I don't know if that's true.
Right. This is all President Ha Jeongseok’s fault.
“Alright. Today, I’ll pull out all of Ha Jeongseok’s hair and beat him up!”
I never intended to kill Ha Jeongseok from the start. But wouldn’t it be okay to enjoy this much?
This was beating him up and pulling out his hair. Honestly, it’s not about the money.
Hunters already know that Villains in the Quarantine Zone have nowhere to spend the money they earn. Moreover, with the Baekhwa Cult of Songdo now known to the world after this incident, money has even less meaning.
-Hee-eung. I want to be stepped on by unnie, along with the President.
Sometimes, there are crazy bastards like this.

Cheongwadae Secret Room
“How can this be? The Hunters I nurtured so carefully...”
President Ha Jeongseok despaired at the sight of Cheongwadae from outside, visible through his Magic Gear.
The Association’s power was currently diminished, and if the Guild Alliance suffered even a little damage or failed to fight properly, he could have held the Association responsible. But before any of that, Baekhwa had come right into the heart of Seoul and targeted Cheongwadae.
This was truly like being caught completely off guard.
This was impossible. This was unbelievable.
“No. This can’t be happening.”
Ha Jeongseok hung his head. He never imagined that everything he had cherished and nurtured would be swept away like this.
And then, a sense of dread washed over him.
It was a fear he had never felt in his life.
The chunks of meat scattered outside Cheongwadae were truly the subordinates Ha Jeongseok had painstakingly cultivated and cared for.
He couldn't guarantee victory against the Guild Alliance, but he had believed they were strong enough to defeat villains.
Was this the end for Cheongwadae?
Could even this Secret Room be breached?
“Surely, they won’t breach this place too. No, they won’t. This won’t do. The Guild Alliance. No. I can’t call in those Association bastards. Looking at that Baekhwa bitch’s broadcast, I can’t tell if the Hunters would even come if I called them. In that case, calling in the ROK Armed Forces, who must have just departed. Yes. That’s it. Hey, Secretary Choi!”
“Yes, Your Excellency!”
Chief of Staff Choi Jisu rushed over immediately.
Chief of Staff Choi Jisu looked at Secretary Choi, who seemed to be trying to escape somewhere.
He had packed all his belongings.
“Call in the Defense Force 1st Division right now! They can be recalled since it hasn’t been long since they crossed the Barrier Wall!”
“Perhaps the Hunter Association instead.”
The Hunter Association, my ass. Relying on those bastards could lead to disaster. They’d either arrive too slowly or I’d end up with a weakness exploited by Choi Cheolsik later.
So, no. Thanks to that idiot Kim Jaesu, we barely managed to curb the Hunter Association's growing influence, which was due to the exploits of those Yu Jinseok guys.
“I can’t trust those bastards! And since Baekhwa is out, the Guild Alliance won’t just end this with a token attack!”
“Then you should escape quickly. Come to think of it, isn’t there a Portal to Tokyo? I mean, a Gate.”
Choi Jisu offered what he considered the safest option.
Yes. There was nothing wrong with it; he could cross over right now. But if he fled to Japan now, how much would the Prime Minister and Shinohara mock him?
Shinohara, whom he had requested cooperation from, was already unreachable, making him furious. Fleeing to Japan? Ridiculous.
More than anything, he had his pride.
He was the President of Korea, after all. He couldn't turn his back on the enemy.
*“And this is supposed to be my Chief of Staff!”*
Ha Jeongseok slapped Choi Jisu across the face.
*SMACK!*
“You idiot! How can the President of Korea go to a foreign country?! You want to reenact Agwanpacheon Season 2? Fortunately, this place is an air-raid shelter whose location is difficult to ascertain and wouldn’t budge even if hit by a nuclear bomb. We can hold out until the ROK Armed Forces return!”
His anger flared, so he slapped him again.
*SMACK!*
Choi Jisu, his cheek stinging, teared up.
“*C-can* the ROK Armed Forces defeat them?”
They wouldn’t be able to win. Given how easily the Cheongwadae Hunters were subdued, the ROK Armed Forces would be utterly crushed in their first engagement.
That’s precisely why he was calling them, because they would be Baekhwa’s worst enemy.
“That cowardly Villain bitch, Baekhwa, cannot attack the ROK Armed Forces. If she did, public opinion would turn against her. She wouldn’t want to lose the fanbase and public sentiment she’s cultivated through her broadcasts until now.”
Would 10,000 just be 10,000? The Cheongwadae hunters were his personal subordinates, so their deaths wouldn’t have mattered. Among the citizens, these hunters were known to have been brainwashed by the president and were secretly criminals. But the ROK Armed Forces were different.
Compared to Hunters, the ROK Armed Forces were practically civilians. Even just that number of 10,000 troops, if Baekhwa touched them, could completely overturn public opinion.
The meaning of Ha Jeongseok’s personal Hunters versus the ROK Armed Forces protecting the nation was entirely different.
“Then I’ll have a car waiting for you, so you can join the returning ROK Armed Forces!”
“A Leader of a Nation cannot turn his or her back on the enemy! Either I die, or that bitch retreats!”
The Army would return soon anyway.
Until then, this place wouldn’t be breached. So it would be fine.
He thought so, until he sensed a presence right outside.
-Well, that’s quite impressive. For a Dictator, and one who hasn’t accomplished anything, your mindset is certainly admirable.
*BANG!*
With Baekhwa’s voice, the Secret Room where Ha Jeongseok was located exploded.
* * *
In the end, I did roll into Cheongwadae.
No, since I killed everyone, getting in wasn’t that difficult.
Rather, I was anxious that the building might collapse due to the destruction.
Come to think of it, are the people inside even alive? I wonder if I got too hyped up and just demolished Cheongwadae.
“Hoo-ah, the air in Cheongwadae is great~”
Songdo was also quite clear, but perhaps it’s because this is Cheongwadae. Since it’s where the President lives, it feels different somehow.
Am I like a country bumpkin visiting Seoul?
Not that I want to stay here permanently. As I said, I need to return before my bedroom dries.
“Hmm?”
I heard some rustling from inside.
Looking closely, I saw people busily packing various things.
Indeed, this is the center of the Government. Is this it? If I stay here too long, the Nation might be paralyzed. I should just deal with Ha Jeongseok and leave.
“Hee-e-e-e-k! P-please save us!”
“We’re innocent. Please!”
There’s no need to be so scared. I have no intention of killing anyone.
“Alright, everyone. You can continue with your work. We only came to deal with the President. We don’t commit unnecessary slaughter.”
I’m a good Yongyong-i, so I don’t just indiscriminately kill people.
But where is that bastard? I need to know where Ha Jeongseok is if I’m going to beat him up.
It feels a bit awkward to beat people up and ask them where he is.
First, we need to show that we are good people engaged in a legitimate counterattack.
It would be great if someone would just tell me directly.
“Hm?”
Just then, a woman approached hesitantly.
She was a woman in a suit, who was incredibly hot.
“T-the President, Your Excellency, is in a Secret Room that can only be entered by passing through a Barrier artificially created with magic stones.”
Well, isn't this a pleasant surprise?
“Oh my. Ah, what a kind person.”
“*A-actually*, I’m a fan!”
This incredibly hot Suit Woman bowed her head to me several times, claiming to be a fan.
I seriously considered asking, “Will you spread your legs?” but decided against it, remembering the broadcast and the snake soup that awaited me.
If I play this right, could I perhaps charm this Woman into guiding me through that Barrier?
