The Spoon Villain Is Obsessed with the Hero Again Today

The Wheel of Summer (6)

In the deep, dark night before dawn. As expected, a call came from Ryu Jung-min.

It was about Park Won-hyuk starting to move.

I called everyone to my room.

“Calling people at this hour, what kind of nonsense is he spouting…?”

I couldn’t hide it any longer, so I revealed the truth to everyone. The current situation of Park Won-hyuk.

“What the hell is going on? Why is that guy acting up again? Is he a teenage girl or something?”

The first to react was Kang Tae-hoon. He frowned, unable to understand Park Won-hyuk’s actions.

“If he’s going to take revenge, he should just quietly kill the monster! Why is he nailing his own coffin shut?”

Everyone seemed to find it hard to believe. On the surface, he acted like he didn’t have a care in the world.

And now, suddenly, he wanted to end his life. It was understandable that we were all taken aback.

“Hey! Don’t eat breakfast! We’re going to have yukgaejang later anyway, so why fill up now? There’ll be plenty of food!”

From the crack of dawn, Kang Tae-hoon was shouting with bloodshot eyes. Today, his tantrum had upgraded to a new level.

I tried to stop him.

“Calm down first.”

“What? Are you telling me to calm down after hearing that nonsense?”

Bang─!

Kang Tae-hoon kicked the trash can. Fortunately, it was empty.

Thanks to Choi So-eun’s cleaning earlier, there was no trash spilling out.

“Throwing someone into the mud… and then cowardly running away behind a screen alone? And you want me to endure this? Could you do that?”

Kang Tae-hoon recalled the time he had competed with Park Won-hyuk. It was a small duel for the purpose of sorting out the hierarchy, but anyway, that day, Kang Tae-hoon was taught a lesson by Park Won-hyuk.

Kang Tae-hoon, who couldn’t stand losing, would be left with a record of defeat for life if Park Won-hyuk disappeared like this.

“Don’t even think about dying until I’ve smeared mud on that face!”

Kang Tae-hoon grabbed his sword and headed for the front door.

I asked towards his departing back.

“Where are you going?”

“Where else? Gangwon-do!”

Bang─!

Kang Tae-hoon left the room without looking back.

Earlier, he was holding a funeral alone with yukgaejang or whatever. Now, he’s off to save Park Won-hyuk.

He’s a truly unpredictable guy.

The real girl was someone else.

“I’m going too.”

Rashid also grabbed his helmet. He seemed to have already made up his mind.

“Are you sure? It might be a pretty dangerous fight.”

“I have a debt. To Geumseonggak.”

Rashid had a connection with Geumseonggak from before. It was since the first semester’s physical fitness test. He had received a contract proposal from Park Won-hyuk there.

But the contract didn’t end successfully. Rashid had broken the contract midway. As a result, Geumseonggak had to pay a penalty.

That incident seemed to have been on his mind.

“Wait a minute!”

One by one, people left the room, and this time, Kim Hanbit moved.

“How do you plan to get to Gangwon-do without a car? You guys can’t even drive!”

They left out the most important means of transportation. Among us, the only person who can drive is Kim Hanbit.

Kim Hanbit hurried to the parking lot to get the car.

“….”

And finally….

“Yoo Jiwoo. What have you been doing alone since earlier?”

I looked at Yoo Jiwoo.

Currently, Yoo Jiwoo was wriggling on the floor. The sight was reminiscent of a slug.

“Ah! Found it, found it!”

Yoo Jiwoo, who had been silent until now, finally spoke. Yoo Jiwoo raised his arm, saying he had found something.

“Hehe. It’s hair, hair. This is a woman’s hair, right?”

A long strand of hair was hanging from Yoo Jiwoo’s fingertips. It was hair with a navy blue tint.

I wondered what he was doing alone, and it seemed he was looking for traces of a woman in my room.

“Hmm. Judging by the color, it’s not from the usual women. So, who is it? Who did you have fun with?”

“Is that important right now?”

“Of course. This is very important to me. The fun is different, after all.”

It’s not like he’s an aunt watching a morning drama. I don’t understand why he’s interested in such things.

Anyway, this guy wasn’t normal either.

“If you really don’t want to tell me, I’ll have to analyze it myself… Ugh!”

This is not the time for this. I grabbed Yoo Jiwoo by the scruff of his neck.

We left the room together.

“But you know.”

Yoo Jiwoo, dangling in the air, spoke.

“Is there anything we can do if we go now? The place is currently occupied by Hyun Gwang.”

In the upcoming battle with Basago, the guild that will take the lead is Hyun Gwang. This was decided through a guild-wide meeting.

No guild should interfere in the middle.

“That’s not something to worry about.”

But that doesn’t mean there are no options at all.

Hyun Gwang is not the only one on the scene.

Central Situation Room located in Gangwon Province. Taeseung Geon, the representative of Hyeongwang, stared at the digital clock installed on the wall.

4:06 AM. About six minutes had passed since the operation began. The site was in full swing.

They started by blocking off the surrounding roads.

Whirr─

It was then. The automatic door of the situation room opened. Ryu Jeongmin, the representative of Yeonwol, who would be in charge of safety control this time, entered.

“4:07 AM. You’re late.”

A guild representative was late for the operation time. Taeseung Geon gave a look, indicating that it was unacceptable.

“7 minutes? You came faster than I thought.”

But Ryu Jeongmin, completely unfazed, put on a brazen face. As if that wasn’t enough, he placed a takeout paper bag on the central desk of the situation room.

“Actually, I stopped by McDonald’s on the way here. I had a craving for this chicken snack wrap for the first time in a while.”

Ryu Jeongmin took a big bite of the chicken snack wrap he had packed. The smell of food began to spread throughout the situation room.

Taeseung Geon’s eyebrows twitched.

“McDonald’s? You must be doing well.”

“Anyway, my job is just traffic control, right? It’s not particularly valuable work, so there’s no need to move too rigidly.”

Slurp─

Ryu Jeongmin continued to gulp down cola. He didn’t look like a commander about to go into battle at all.

─Current time 4:10 AM! All roads including the operation area have been blocked! There are no other civilians!

An operator reported the current situation. Clearing the roads was easier than expected. It was also the reason why the operation time was set for dawn.

Taeseung Geon gave an order.

“Good. Combat Teams 2 and 3 will search for the target.”

─Yes, understood!

A search team was deployed to pull out Basago. Since they had the magic stone, it wouldn’t be long before they found it.

“Which team will be going into battle this time?”

Here, Ryu Jeongmin asked. Who would be the awakened ones to fight Basago directly?

“Combat Teams 1, 4, and 5 will go out. Teams 6 and 7 are organized as reserve forces.”

“Oh my? That’s quite different from what I heard.”

“What do you mean by that?”

Taeseung Geon narrowed his eyes. According to the deployment chart, the combat personnel were arranged as he said. What could be different?

Soon, Ryu Jeongmin smiled and said.

*

“Isn’t Park Won-hyuk the only one fighting Basago?”

That’s right. The schedule is all just a smokescreen. In reality, it’s only Park Won-hyuk who approaches Basago.

But only a very few know that information. Even the staff on the field don’t know this fact.

How did it end up reaching Ryu Jung-min’s ears?

“Did Park Won-hyuk say it himself?”

“Who knows? I can’t really remember.”

Ryu Jung-min nonchalantly ate a snack wrap.

With food in his mouth, he continued speaking.

“You really are mean. Trying to take advantage of someone’s trauma for your own gain. You really have no blood or tears.”

“You’ve got the order wrong. It was Park Won-hyuk who made the proposal first. I just extended a hand to help him.”

“Extended a hand? You, Tae Seung-gun? That’s really funny.”

Sluuurp─

Ryu Jung-min sucked up the remaining cola without leaving a drop. Then he glared at Tae Seung-gun with fierce eyes.

“Who do you think doesn’t know your dark intentions? You didn’t extend a hand, you pushed him to his death. And your true goal is to absorb Geumseonggak after he’s gone, isn’t it?”

He saw right through it. As expected of Yeonwol’s representative. He wasn’t just a kid as he appeared.

Tae Seung-gun gave a bitter smile.

“I never imagined such words would come out of your mouth, Ryu Jung-min. Since when did you start worrying about Park Won-hyuk?”

Yeonwol and Geumseonggak. Two emerging guilds that have recently risen. Their paths have been similar, so their rivalry is naturally intense.

That relationship is known to everyone, not just Tae Seung-gun. They must be hoping for each other’s downfall.

But Ryu Jung-min retorted.

“Don’t get it wrong. I’m not worried about that monkey. I’m concerned about Geumseonggak being swallowed by your hands.”

Even now, Hyeongwang boasts overwhelming influence compared to other guilds. Just look at how the Guild Association operates. They’ve lined up all the executives with Hyeongwang members.

Imagine if Hyeongwang grows even bigger from here. There could come a day when they dominate not only the Guild Association but also the national administrative organization, the Hero Management Department, and even the political sphere.

Hyeongwang would become South Korea itself.

“Fine. I don’t intend to take everything for myself. If you want, I’ll share the shares of Geumseonggak. Will that do?”

A new negotiation table was opened. This time, it was Tae Seung-gun trying to make a deal with Yeonwol. It was to silence Ryu Jung-min immediately.

“Shares of Geumseonggak. That’s quite tempting. But….”

Wiiing─

At that moment, the siren installed in the situation room rang. Tae Seung-gun took his eyes off Ryu Jung-min and looked at the operator.

“What’s going on?”

─A vehicle has breached the control line on Route 4 and entered without authorization!

The situation occurred outside the operation area. Unauthorized entry? Is it drunk driving?

“Check the vehicle number and affiliation immediately.”

─The result of the inquiry… This is… Ha, it’s a vehicle from Hanyul Academy!

“Hanyul Academy? Which direction is it heading?”

─According to the location tracking, it is heading towards the target!

Suddenly, a vehicle from Hanyul Academy barged in. And it’s heading straight into the operation area.

Who on earth is in that vehicle? What are they thinking, trying to get involved in this battle?

“What should we do? Our staff must have made a big mistake. We’ll have to scold them severely later.”

“Ryu Jung-min…”

Yes. Ryu Jung-min wouldn’t just sit still knowing all this.

This is all Ryu Jung-min’s doing.

There’s a reason she’s called the Witch of Yeonwol.

She’s quite the troublemaker.

“As I was saying earlier, I have no intention of taking over the guild in such a nasty way like you.”

“…”

“Nor do I intend to hand it over to someone else.”
