Villain Eaten By The Hero - Chapter 66
CHAPTER 66
So, even if she felt like sinking into despair when she heard those words, she was prepared for it. She thought it might happen a couple of times, or so.
But it wasn’t like that. To say that she wasn’t shaken or drawn in, she wasn’t hiding, she’d swear it!
Her eyes opened wide of their own accord, sparkling like stars. She saw the corners of Seo’s mouth twitch as if he had won, when his face, relaxed like a spring day, was about to let out a goofy laugh.
Seeing the proud expression on his face as if he had won, Belze barely realized her mistake and turned her head away. She bit and released her lip, prickling it.
“It feels unpleasant to only do it for me.”
Trying to act tough was like spilling water over one’s head. Seo chuckled, waving off her deception.
“Then, don’t you do it to me either?”
“You talk as if you can help it. Can a slave of desire like you really refrain?”
Belze doesn’t yield here either. Since he explicitly stated that he was attracted only to her, there was no reason for her to lose.
“I am a heroic figure who knows kindness and morality. If you don’t like it, you should make an effort to quit.”
“Are there any morally upright heroes left? If you want to be an ethical hero, go ahead. If you want to live like that.”
“If you don’t like it, get counseling and quit.”
“If you really want me to, then fine.”
Both sides concealed their willingness to agree or concede and engaged in a fierce mental battle. They fiercely stared at each other, not knowing where to retreat. As they eyed each other like that, more and more gazes were directed at them.
They were the gazes of citizens who had been watching the situation from a distance. Even without hearing the content, they could tell that the two were fighting.
As more and more people craned their necks to see what was going on, Seo’s power once again shone when he embedded rebar into the asphalt, creating a barrier around the two of them like a cage, calming the disturbance.
Knowing it was Seo’s way of saying, ‘Do you want to die too?’, everyone fell silent and sought refuge inside the building.
When most of the stares were gone, Seo sighed and turned to Belze.
“… Let’s not make a fuss here and solve the problem quickly. I have to catch that guy and you also need to help your boss. So let’s pay Lotte back for what she’s done to us.”
“…You’re right. Since both of us are busy, let’s settle our argument later.”
With a common goal, the hero and the villain once again reached a compromise.
Now it was Seo’s turn to ask a question. But instead of asking questions, he absentmindedly fiddled with a bracelet that checked his heart rate. As Belze was about to urge him to get on with the question, he nonchalantly looked at the bracelet and opened his mouth.
“I didn’t say it’s good for the reasons you think.”
“Huh?”
“Of course, I enjoy sleeping with you. It’s not because you’re exceptionally good, probably more because we fit well together.”
His remark, the way he added it as if warning her not to brag, was both annoying and cute to Belze’s ears. However, the important thing now wasn’t those trivial remarks.
“Then?”
Closing the distance between them, Belze tilted her head up. Although she was not exactly short, the height difference made her look up at Seo.
“Then what is it? Why?”
Feeling good as they locked eyes, she thought that Seo must have said such words out of affection. However, if that wasn’t the case, she wondered why he made such a statement.
As Belze grumbled under her breath, Seo finally turned his head and grinned maliciously, watching Belze from above.
“Your turn to ask is over. Question! Do you like it when I hug you sweetly and delicately, checking your mood, or do you like it when I hug you a little roughly, without stopping at any point?”
“Kim Seo!”
The damned son of a bitch, what a question!
Even if she shouted he was absurd by asking such a question, the question had already been asked, and the baton had been passed to Belze.
This question was malicious and sly. It was wicked because of the nature of the question, and it wasn’t about asking about the boss.
If he had any lingering doubts, he would have asked the question with the same determination as Belze, but he didn’t, because he had a rough idea of what Belze was feeling.
Doubt is never completely gone, but he chooses to focus on Belze instead of letting his jealousy get the better of him. On the other hand, Belze, having wasted the question with jealousy, had no choice but to answer it.
“This… To ask such a thing…”
Moreover, the question was tormenting. It was five times more embarrassing to reveal her sexual preferences to Seo than to Hyena.
Belze bared her white teeth, grunted, and punched Seo hard in the stomach. Seo didn’t react much, but the recoil from his stomach to his fist was painful.
“It’s the latter of the two, but it’s not rough; it’s precise, intense, passionate. Got it?”
Belze tried to emphasize each syllable to convey the point. But Seo just made a subtle face.
Damn. That bastard. Where does he get off being so confident?
Belze wished she could smash that face looking down at her with smugness. Enjoying the bed was one thing, wishing not to be hurt over trivial matters was another, and the competitive spirit was a separate matter.
“Let’s see what kind of question you’ll ask next time.”
As he said that, the moment he crossed the iron gate, an immense clang as if entering a metal factory, assaulted his ears.
“There won’t be a next time.”
The sound of thick but large pieces of metal colliding continuously. And a woman’s voice, angry but still clear.
Metal hoses, wriggling like snakes and tentacles, poured down like rain, blocking the view.
“You’re going to die here.”
One hose wrapped around Belze’s waist, lifting her up, and a relatively thin one wrapped around her arms. At the same time, another lunged for Seo.
In just a few seconds, the metal hose, about the size of a forearm, was torn miserably, but it was already too late; Belze had been captured.
Lotte, who was in a low position, climbed up to Belze, who was caught by the metal hose. A clear hand, not a hologram, rested on Belze’s cheek.
The internal dispute among villains was not to be taken lightly, just like the fights between heroes and villains.
As Belze prepared herself and Seo poised for a counterattack, Seo assumed a defensive posture to counterattack, Lotte’s face twisted like a demon.
But the target of that twisted face wasn’t Belze; it was Seo.
“How dare you… seduce Belze-unnie?”
“…What?”
“You scumbag. You dare to lay your hands on her? What kind of despicable tricks did you use to make her think of you, you scumbag!”
Cold sweat started to trickle down Belze’s neck, wrapped in the metal tentacle. For reasons other than pain.
“What did I do?”
“Are you going to make excuses here? You tearing piece of shit! Do you think I’ve been sipping coffee in a cafe all this time? I was assisting my team, doing some monitoring, and you did such a thing to Belze-unnie?!”
Ignoring Lotte, who was not just verbally attacking but punching the air over and over again, Seo jumped up. As he tried to tear off the head of the hose, it exploded, showering fragments in all directions.
Brushing off the pieces that tried to embed in his skin, Seo grabbed the hose. Despite its bulky size, the captured hose swung like a thin whip.
“Is this how you ignore people? Just because there’s something to pierce at you, you ignore it?!”
“Quit your nonsense and shut up.”
As the ignored Lotte raised her voice, Seo’s voice sounded menacing from a distance.
“Unnie, look at him, that’s the kind of guy he is. After doing something terrible to you, look at him washing his mouth! Break up with him right now!”
“We’re not dating!”
“But still, break up!”
Before even starting a relationship, Seo, who was forced to break up, rushed forward with an irritated expression. Stepping on a wriggling hose, he leaped up and approached Lotte with a determined face, but Lotte skillfully pushed Seo away.
It’s difficult to defeat a hero, but escaping from a hero is easy. If you capture hostages or destroy buildings, the hero has no choice but to prioritize the safety of the citizens who might be there.
When Seo temporarily stepped back to block the collapsing building debris, Lotte gritted her teeth.
“Look at him! His own affair is more important! I tested him to see if he was going to betray, but he’s putting the citizens first! Unnie, did you see what he did? He has no intention of quitting as a hero. And I’m so upset that you were so naive to think he’d do it.”
“Since when did we become close for you to call me Unnie?”
“And since when did she become naive?”
Seo, who suddenly found himself treated like trash that must be separated from Belze, grumbled, but no one was listening. On the plus side, voices were inaudible at this distance.
Seo pushed away everyone in his sight, placing hostages and hindrances far away. It wasn’t a good situation even if other people overheard.
“Of course, every girl who wants to be a villain loves you, Belze. Unnie, even though you don’t have a scary ability, you’re smart, famous, and cheerful!”
“Huh, you used to be timid in front of me. You know something now. Have you seen how popular I am?”
Even in this situation, Seo glanced at Belze with a face of disbelief. Lotte, meanwhile, had a completely different expression from the two.
She looked like she was about to cry with frustration, and with a face that could tear people apart in anger.
“Unnie, you had no interest in mediocre men, it’s what makes you so cool… Unnie, even if you don’t know what’s going on, you’re being completely deceived. That bastard used some sly trick! Hey, what kind of potion did you use!”
But this is difficult. The cold sweat may have stopped, but the awkward feeling persisted.
It’s not uncommon to feel angry when someone close to you is dating a terrible person. If it’s a family member or a close friend, you might want to stop them.
But there are people in the world who have gone above and beyond, and they get angry when someone doesn’t meet their expectations.
In short, Lotte believes that Belze is not interested in romance and men and finds it cool. The fact that she only gets angry at Seo after monitoring is telling.
‘Belze has no interest in men. So, what kind of trick did that damn hero play?’ That was Lotte’s thought.
Just as part of Seo’s popularity was his seeming lack of interest in women, so too was Belze’s.
Lotte believed that Belze would live well even without a man, going beyond the prediction that a man would be a hindrance in her life. It was a belief that she had to live that way.
This type of person was perplexing. Despite pretending to be friendly as if they have been through thick and thin together for years, Lotte believes that Seo is a distraction in Belze’s life and doesn’t meet her expectations, so Belze should drop him immediately.
Even without going that far, they were already in a difficult situation, entangled in the hose, and Seo was tearing it apart with an irritated expression.
“Hey, stop trying to shift the blame on me and just hand over the recording.”
