232 – Chapter 9. Association prepares for any situation (2)

Three hours later, Thailand Hero Association Phuket branch.

“Nice to meet you. National Heungdo King.”

“It’s been a while, Laplace. Is it the first time since the inauguration ceremony for Class A first place last year?”

“Yes. I didn’t expect you to come unannounced. Is Malaysia all right?”

“Even if I’m not there, ‘Khmerxes’ is guarding it. I’m just here on vacation.”

“If you had given me a word in advance, we would have performed protocol when we went to the airport or the border.”

“I wanted to hang out quietly. It’s all over.”

A suffocating conversation ensues.

Those who watched from the side only noticed each other in the conference room that was like a plate of thin ice.

Laplace is smiling, but his eyes are hardened.

The national heungdo king openly appeals, “I am a tourist” while wearing a one-piece dress.

The fight between the two A+ levels was a confrontation that mobilized not only human charisma but also magic, and those in the seminar room only hoped that someone would open the door by mistake.

“I’m going to ask you to finish it. Why did you come to Phuket?”

“I answer directly. Travel. Finished.”

“Is that the real reason?”

“Then you came to travel, what do you think I came for?”

“If you really came to travel, why don’t you just pass by when Poopatpong runs rampant?”

“Can the hero just watch the villain take a person hostage and go on a rampage? Is there a reason to save someone?”

“We were able to subdue it.”

“Well, it’s too late after what happens to the hostages. I really. I saved people and subdued the villains, but this is the first time I’ve felt so scolded. Did you shoot a movie or something? I don’t think it was like that.”

While knowing each other’s intentions, they pretend not to know each other and just attack each other with words.

The two of them were just laughing at each other, but Laplace was the one who felt frustrated.

“Well, that’s good. Even if you accidentally came to travel at this point, and it’s Phuket, you don’t give any word to the Malaysian Hero Association or the government, and even the Greater Vietnam welcomes your trip.”

“I don’t expect to be welcomed, but thank you very much for such a welcome.”

“How did you decide where to stay? Shall we book a separate 5-star hotel for you?”

“I came to enjoy the night, but I can’t. It’s okay. I’m just going to walk around and enjoy the Phuket night air leisurely without a lodging.”

“…do you think that makes sense?”

“Oh, why doesn’t that make sense? I’m following my own heart. Is there any reason why I shouldn’t be in Phuket right now?”

The National Heungdo King simply laughed.

The frustrating one was Laplace, and the one who was full of leisure was the King of Heungdo.

The background is, of course, because the ‘justice’ is not Laplace, but King Heungdo.

“I’m just a tourist, I don’t have any problems with my visa, I just came here for sightseeing and I just saved people. Oh, it’s possible that the citizens will go crazy when they see me, or something like that. It’s okay. I’ll go around hiding my identity as much as possible, so don’t worry. It will be done. Whooping.”

“…You’re only saying things that make me worry. Be careful. There are intelligence reports that unknown monsters are roaming Phuket these days. You never know who might suddenly disappear.”

“Do you think the security in Phuket is very bad? Thank you for your concern, but I have enough strength to protect myself. Then can I go now?”

“…Soon, the Red Wolves will be coming. You’re not trying to catch the wind of someone who’s coming all the way to Phuket, right?”

“…Hmm.”

The corners of the eyes of King Heungdo of the Warring States furrowed slightly, but she immediately shrugged her shoulders.

“Well, fine. Then we can have some tea in the meantime.”

“…Yes. Don’t go anywhere, just wait. I’ll serve the car right away.”

Laplace went outside, and the king of national heungdo leisurely looked out the window in the seminar room.

Facing the gaze that seemed to be looking at her, she lightly made a V with her fingers.

lodging.

Acting as newlyweds, we entered the dorm and immediately turned on the TV.

In the TV, the king of national heungdo greets the drone camera by drawing a V.

It would be a hero’s greeting to Thai citizens, but she sent out a signal pretending to say hello.

“Brother. I don’t think I can get any help. It looks like Laplace is tied up?”

“I see. There are also rumors that General Jeokrang from Bangkok is coming to Phuket.”

Major factors are converging on Phuket.

Officially, King Heungdo of the Warring States is a person who is said to have traveled, so she cannot help in this operation.

“Ugh. He’s good at fighting. I hope he doesn’t have a big accident and fight.”

“It’s the same here. I don’t want to fight with a hero who uses the pseudonym of the Vietnamese military commander.”

If they do, they will have to step out as ‘heroes’, and in that case, they will of course have to confront us, the villains of the society, with all their might.

That’s the way a hero cooperates with an association.

It attracts the public’s attention and makes the society more comfortable, but when the society comes to the surface in earnest, the hero must fight the society.

For the general public to think, ‘How could the King of Heungdo of the Warring States be a person who cooperates with an organization when they fought with such an organization to kill each other like that?’

“This is where Tran Hung Dao draws attention. So, Mr. Nguyen?”

[Yes.]

I said to Nguyen, who was staying in the room next to the hotel.

The walls were thick, but if the person with the special ability kept their hearing open, the walls wouldn’t be much of a problem.

“The group will move. From the moment you call us, the strategy is already ‘fixed’, and the rest is to decide the timing and location. We will set the timing, but the location gives you the choice.”

[…Of the two islands, which one will you attack first?]

“Yes.”

Is it the island of succubus?

Or is it God’s haven?

It doesn’t really matter if the order is changed, but the scale and aspect of the damage will change greatly.

“The Order doesn’t hesitate to shed blood. They’ll let the least amount of blood flow, but they don’t idealize that they won’t let anyone die.”

[…….]

“Keep in mind that the people you have reached out to are those who will do anything for world peace. Now, what are you going to do? Are you going to cancel the contract?”

[If I stop here…]

“Then, director and I will be enjoying our trip to Thailand.”

To put it bluntly, what happens is this country and Nguyen, not us.

The Order can at any time root out the darkness that hangs over this country in other ways.

It’s just that right now, the general management position has its own sabbatical year for a year, so it’s not a big deal to ‘purify’ a country.

[If I stopped now, all sorts of evil things would still be happening on that island.]

“Yes. Blood is still flowing.”

[…I’ll do it.]

“It’s a good choice, Nguyen. We support your decision, and we will start preparing in earnest from now on.”

I tapped the wall lightly.

“The operation starts at …. Until then, there’s only one thing you have to do.”

[Just say the word. right now-]

“Set the alarm and lie down to sleep.”

[……Yes?]

“Don’t stay up all night just worrying about it. Or should I go and force you to sleep? I can put you to sleep right away with a single blow from a bat.”

[Oh, no. …I will rest on my own.]

“Okay. Then, don’t leave the room until the operation begins.”

I took out my goblin’s bat and lightly tapped it against the wall.

Soon, a light curtain of magic spread across the wall leading to Nguyen’s room, and I turned and headed for the bed.

“Brother. He must not be able to sleep.”

“You’ll be nervous.”

“I don’t mean that.”

Yoon Hye-ra sat on the bed and gestured to me leisurely.

“You won’t be able to sleep because of the sound of making an alibi in the next room.”

“…It’s okay because I opened the sound barrier with magic power. And…”

I ran my hand through Yoon Hye-ra’s hair and laid my body on top of her.

“I have no intention of letting anyone else hear the sound of your pain.”

“……Huh.”

From now on.

midnight.

“Listen carefully. Originally, associations are the ones who aim for the time when humans are weakest.”

‘K’, an agent under Laplace’s command, handed a pistol to the Kosians in suits who followed him and gave advice.

“Laplace said. That woman, Tran Hung Dao, came to Phuket by no means by chance. We must find Nguyen, who has disappeared, and at the same time, find the agents of the society Nguyen called. Check the list again.”

Charleuk.

Countless faces appeared on the screen in front of Kosians.

“The faces and locations of ‘people from Korea within 3 days’ identified through hotel reservation applications, card terminals, CCTVs, etc. It will. Do you understand?”

“””Yes!”””

“Okay, first.”

Under the guidance of Agent K, the Kosians went straight to the hotel.

The hotelier didn’t even look at them, as if an invisible man was passing by, and the agents started checking the front door here and there in the hotel.

“…R Hotel, nothing more. That way?”

[There is nothing wrong with this either. Oh, there was something wrong. cuuu.]

“what?”

K was furious at the words of another team agent over the radio.

“What is it? Even a trivial abnormality must be reported.”

[The couple from Korea were ardently patriotic. Wow, this is the first time I’ve heard of a real woman dying from illness like that.]

“…sounds nonsensical. During a mission.”

[Hey. I can hear it a bit more now, would you like to listen?]

“…….”

K pricked up his ears.

And.

“…Isn’t the woman dying?”

[right? hehehe. Shall we catch the man and put him on the island over there?]

“Korean couples are dangerous, so no.

[Of course I put it in. ha. By the way, you bastards, I can’t even see your nose. Are you really here?]

“hit.”

thump, thump, thump.

The creaking sound of the bed coming through the radio was bothering him, but the agent decided to focus on his mission as much as possible.

“They are terrorists. They must be doing something to prepare for terrorism anywhere. We must find them. For Laplace-sama.”

[of course.]

profit.

“…… Tsk. Poor people. They couldn’t go to Ulleungdo or Jeju and come all the way to Phuket.”

The night was deep.

The search continued even after midnight, but the agents could not find even the letter ‘a’ in the association.

And.

4:33 am.

The alarm went off.
