“Unfilial daughter!”
“Unfilial daughter Kim Se-hyun!”
The moment he saw them, his blood ran cold.
That was.
“Poison.”
And a very deadly venom at that.
Swish!
An egg flying at incomparable slowness to Dark Elf arrows.
It hit the ground and burst.
“That’s Go Johan, isn’t it?”
“As expected!”
“Kim Se-hyun killed Kim Tae-hwan!”
“Unfilial daughter!”
Shouts devoid of logic.
Yet the malice was unmistakable.
“Grrr…”
Ju In-gyeong howled like a beast in Go Johan’s arms.
Did they understand?
The moment Go Johan loosened even slightly the strength in his hands.
Whoooosh!
They would be scattered into pieces and rolled on the ground.
But no.
“……”
Even Kim Se-hyun before him could slaughter them in the blink of an eye.
Did they not know?
“Get lost! Unfilial daughter, go to America!”
Yet they could still do this.
Murmur, murmur.
The surrounding gazes and social status became invisible chains binding Kim Se-hyun.
“Johan…”
Kim Se-hyun’s voice came.
“I’m… okay.”
A voice with suppressed emotions.
“I am…”
“Grrrrr!”
“In-gyeong, I’m really okay.”
Yet after exhaling, Kim Se-hyun straightened her face and stepped forward.
“I don’t understand what you’re saying. I am…”
Thud!
Another egg flew in.
“Get lost! Unfilial daughter! You killed your father and devoured the company, you dog!”
That’s when it happened.
Kwaaaaa!
An overwhelming aura surged and dominated the area.
All sound seemed to be swallowed, disappearing.
Tremble.
All those standing could only tremble, suppressed by unprecedented power.
“…Johan.”
It wasn’t Kim Se-hyun.
If she, bearing the cardinal sin of wrath, had truly gotten angry, it wouldn’t have ended so simply.
This was.
“I’m…”
“I’m not okay.”
Go Johan.
Passing Kim Se-hyun, he entrusted In-gyeong to her.
“Go, Go Johan…”
“You…”
Though he understood what they wanted to say.
“Hack!”
He returned their freedom to speak.
“Wh, what are you doing!”
The one who appeared to be leading them shouted loudly.
“D, do you understand what you’re doing now! We’re ordinary citizens!”
“Y, yes!”
Not even players. Ordinary citizens.
Though the nation and association banned violent clashes between players, they treated clashes between players and ordinary citizens even more strictly.
“L, let me record this!”
“Report it! Quickly!”
If a player used force against an ordinary citizen, they would receive heavy punishment equivalent to at least murder.
And right now, they were:
“This way!”
Professional protesters, it seemed, already having somehow brought association and police personnel into the area.
“Monster! As expected, trash fits the unfilial one…”
Shouting while holding a phone.
At that moment.
Boom!
The phone exploded.
“Ahhh! Ahhhhh!”
As a result, the hand holding the phone turned red with flowing blood.
It was Go Johan who did this.
If he hadn’t intervened.
Clench.
As could be seen from Kim Se-hyun holding a sword, it would have been a sea of blood.
Even before that, In-gyeong could have come forward and devastated the area.
“What are you doing!”
“Arrest! Arrest! Arrest that criminal bastard!”
Soon the association and police, circling around.
The protesters screamed at them like demons.
And Go Johan had returned freedom to all of them.
“Huff, huff…”
Though breathing heavily, smiles spread across their lips.
Just thinking that a foolish youngster, unable to bear the surrounding gazes, had backed down.
Swish.
Shimmering away like a mirage, Go Johan had the protest leader by the neck, lifting him.
“Really, humans are still hard for me to understand.”
Go Johan spoke.
Seeing such sights, there were things that brushed across the past.
“Has Kim Se-hyun ever caused you any harm?”
Go Johan’s voice was low and dark, but it carved itself into everyone’s ears like thorns.
“Or, what harm have I done to you?”
When Go Johan released the neck he’d been holding, the protest leader sat down and crawled toward him, screaming.
“Wh, what… cough! Immediately…”
“Speak.”
“You! You all are evil! Your very existence is evil! You monsters!”
Crack!
From the protest leader’s shin came the sound of breaking bone.
Go Johan’s foot pressed and crushed the shin.
“Screeeeahhhhh!”
No matter what authority came, he would never use that right leg again.
“Yes, I am evil.”
Go Johan spoke to the protest leader.
“Should I kill you all?”
“…Hiccup!”
“Speak.”
Go Johan crouched down, meeting his eyes.
“Are you stronger than Association President Choi?”
“……”
The terrified man’s lower body was growing wet.
“I slaughtered Choi before everyone. Yet I don’t understand by what courage you’re doing this before me.”
Even cars didn’t move.
“I clearly told everyone. That I’m a villain, that I’d become a demon. That I wouldn’t choose any means to hunt demons.”
Lee Jae-Kyung, who had told him to rest, came to mind.
That brief rest had been so sweet, yet even that moment.
“Why do you ignore my words?”
He had never let go of thoughts of demons.
“Hiccup, hiccup…”
Go Johan stood, ignoring the collapsed man, speaking to his surroundings.
His gaze turned to the association and police.
They too.
“……”
Couldn’t move, seized by fear.
“Will you arrest me?”
Go Johan asked.
“Will you restrain me and throw me into the association’s basement?”
No, Chairman Choi would step forward first to stop it.
“Despite seeing what happened because of this, why do you keep creating such situations? I ask you all.”
Go Johan and Michael.
A man standing somewhere between them spoke to everyone around.
“Will you overlook these people threatening your safety?”
“…!”
“Will you let these people, those fighting at the forefront, those like Kim Se-hyun who fight enemies risking their lives, be slandered and framed? And if Kim Se-hyun leaves for America because of this?”
“……”
Silence descended.
“Then who will you blame?”
Chuckle.
Go Johan sneered coldly. At that cold smile, the hearts of those smiling froze.
“I’ll ask Kim Se-hyun. Why did you abandon South Korea back then? I say it again.”
He grasped Kim Se-hyun’s hand.
“I will remove anything that annoys me.”
Then he looked at the sitting protest leader.
“…!”
Becoming ashen from unprecedented fear and pain.
After that.
“……”
Those gazes of enmity greater than before.
This couldn’t all be changed in an instant.
Yet.
“Get lost. You damn fools.”
They would fight.

Boom!
In front of Tae-han Guild, Im Chul-soon, who led the protest, slammed the desk with bloodshot eyes.
“Uaaaaaahhh!”
More unbearable than the pain in his shin was the humiliation and defeat.
The hospital had recommended hospitalization, but Im Chul-soon firmly refused.
“Damn bastard! Monster!”
“President…! Please calm down…!”
Though one of the professional protesters tried to stop him.
Smack!
A slap from Im Chul-soon flew.
“Do you… you also disrespect me?”
“That’s not it…!”
“Get lost! All of you get lost!”
Having lived as a professional protester for over a decade, such deep defeat was unprecedented.
No one could treat them this way.
“We are…”
Justice.
“We are justice…!”
Speaking for citizens, striving for broken social justice.
So rather than kneeling in worship, being intimidated before so many people.
That was why.
“Go Johan…”
Im Chul-soon knew this broken shin would become a weapon to gather people’s voices.
“Go Johan!”
Society was wrong.
Players and such, why were they given so many benefits?
Simply lucky to awaken, pretending to be heroes, acting as though they cared for society more than him was infuriating.
“If I had become a player like them…”
Bang!
Demons plaguing citizens now, he could sweep them all away.
Lazy pigs acting great was unbearable.
That’s when.
Ripple.
The suddenly changed air flow.
Thud.
Im Chul-soon knelt and bowed his head.
Though the excruciating pain from his shin made him feel like losing consciousness, it didn’t matter.
“D, did you come?”
The one appearing before him was a great being who would make such pain quickly forgotten.
And unlike the fools who didn’t recognize his worth.
“I heard the news.”
He was smart, recognizing his worth precisely.
“You were humiliated at Tae-han?”
“That’s…!”
As Im Chul-soon tried to shout his grievance.
Swish.
A hand approached and caressed him.
“Ahhh!”
Vitality surged throughout his body, the pain from his shin seeming to vanish.
“Unfortunate person. Someone like you should have been the player.”
“Kkkugh!”
Tears seemed ready to pour.
“How will this world become with an evil like Go Johan possessing such power?”
In that voice, Go Johan’s genuine concern and worry for the world was felt, and Im Chul-soon felt passion.
Someone like this must exist.
“Leave the Tae-han matter for now.”
“But…!”
Though he had wanted to destroy Tae-han by dragging Kim Se-hyun down.
“Isn’t there a greater evil to fight?”
“…?”
“You don’t need to regret not being a player.”
The woman lifted Im Chul-soon up.
Her skin was so dizzying he felt like losing his mind.
“Wouldn’t it be about showing how great ordinary people can be?”
“…!”
“Become an ordinary person of greatness.”
At this moment, Im Chul-soon thought:
Even if this were a demon’s whisper, he wouldn’t care.
