The Main Character Killed The Villain – Chapter 143

#143

For a moment, I thought I had misheard. His expression was so cheerful.

“…Huh?”

As I tilted my head in confusion, Ray cut in again firmly.

“If it’s not for naturalization, helping you escape would damage my image both in the U.S. and Korea. There’s nothing good in it for me, so why should I do it?”

Come to think of it, he’s right. I realized Ray had no reason at all to help me. Being around people who do everything for me with just a mumble, I completely lost touch with normal sensibilities.

I spoke softly, feeling a bit deflated. I understood Ray’s position, but I was also in a situation where I’d be in big trouble if I couldn’t get him to help me.

“Even if it’s not immediate naturalization… If I see a lot of good things about America, I might change my mind.”

No. There’s no way I’d change my mind. But I had no choice but to say this, or he wouldn’t listen at all.

Nikki looked at me sympathetically and greatly embellished my brief words in her interpretation. It was almost a new sentence rather than an interpretation.

“Alright, then we can persuade the government like that.”

Ray muttered while rubbing his chin, then suddenly stood up. Startled, I watched with wide eyes as he shouted “Liam, Liam!” and went into the inner room.

“I thought you were on good terms, but are they mistreating you in Korea?”

I was left awkwardly alone with Nikki. As I blinked blankly, she looked at me with a sympathetic gaze and asked.

“Gasp, were you perhaps imprisoned or something…?”

Then she started muttering to herself with a serious face, thinking who knows what. Maybe because the impression of her forcefully getting angry last time was stuck in her mind, she seemed to think Hyun Dowoon was also forceful with me.

“You must come with us! Even if Ray doesn’t, Liam will definitely help.”

“…Why?”

When I asked, unable to understand Nikki’s words, she whispered softly.

“Ray is a bit self-centered, but Liam is quite righteous in his own way. Usually, when Ray goes wild, Liam stops him, that kind of thing.”

I nodded, clearly recalling Ray’s self-centered behavior. I had thought Liam’s impression was a bit vague, but I suppose that’s inevitable next to someone who acts so wildly.

‘For such a person to be involved in kidnapping… it must be because of Nine after all.’

I was just starting to worry that Nine might be controlling Ray and Liam, but I thought if I could set foot on American soil and escape from them before being discovered, I could hide perfectly. Anyway, this world has quite a few similarities to reality, and I heard America has fewer CCTVs than Korea.

“Alright, get ready quickly! Pack your bags!”

While we were blankly waiting for Ray, the man himself suddenly appeared and said with a hearty laugh. As I blinked in surprise, he raised his head and spoke. He looked as if he didn’t understand why we were surprised.

“They’ve probably already found out that you’ve run away, honey. So we need to leave Korea as soon as possible.”

It was certainly a relief that Ray was being so cooperative. Above all, I thought we had probably already been discovered. If I hadn’t come out of the bathroom for this long, they would naturally have come looking for me.

“No, throw away the luggage. Just leave everything and go. We can buy new stuff anyway.”

After Ray spoke briefly, he laughed loudly seeing Liam coming out with just one very light bag.

“As expected of my partner. You had the same thought?”

Ray speaking like this seemed quite happy. It was a completely different face from when he tried to assign Liam as my partner.

To think of tearing apart such close partners. Although they probably only meant to use it as a brief threat, I couldn’t help but think Nine had gone too far.

“Wait, I…!”

“We’re giving you enough money to buy plenty of new clothes, aren’t we? Just grab your laptop. Yes, that.”

Ray spoke towards Nikki, who was standing holding a laptop she had packed at some point. Then he took out a thick wad of dollars from his pocket, slapped it on the table, and winked.

“Let’s leave a hefty tip for handling the stuff.”

Seeing the thick pile of money next to the hotel key, I was sure the hotel staff wouldn’t dislike it.

I was blankly estimating the thickness of the money bundle when I suddenly raised my head and frowned.

“How are we getting to the airport?”

“Airport? Simple.”

Ray pointed his chin at Liam after hearing Nikki translate my question. As I naturally looked at Liam standing with a stolid face, he held out his hand.

“Coincidentally, Liam’s ability is also teleportation. Though it works a bit differently from Hyun’s.”

Along with Ray’s explanation, Liam suddenly grabbed my hand. Then, with a very dizzying feeling, my vision changed rapidly. Feeling like we were all huddled together and falling over, I urgently reached out my hand, and indeed, the four of us were sprawled together in a heap.

‘Where is this…?’

As I got up, dusting myself off, and looked around, I saw that the scenery had changed instantly, as if we had never been in the hotel. As I opened my mouth in surprise at the even more lavish interior decorations, Nikki, who was frowning and rubbing her waist as if she had fallen badly, gave me a more detailed explanation.

“Liam has the ability to move to one designated location once every two weeks. Center Director Hyun Dowoon’s teleportation ability is more versatile, but Liam has much less distance restriction in exchange.”

“So this is…”

“Ah, it’s Liam’s house.”

“Which means…?”

“It’s America.”

America! Startled for a moment, I hurriedly went to the window. Looking out, I saw a garden full of trees.

Crossing borders in an instant like this, isn’t it extremely dangerous in some sense?

‘Dowoon seemed to have some restrictions…’

I clearly remember he had restrictions like not being able to go to places he had never been before, and only being able to move within a 10km radius. It’s still a terrifying ability in that there’s no limit on the number of times, but still.

Anyway, it felt more dangerous, but the ability to instantly leap across hundreds of kilometers seemed incredibly amazing.

“Well then…”

Ray grinned and gripped my arm tightly. As I winced with an “Ah,” he led me somewhere. As I followed him, Liam and Nikki followed behind Ray and me with slightly worried expressions.

“This is honey’s room! Don’t worry that it’s underground. We’ve installed an amazing air purifier.”

I was surprised for a moment at the thought that there was an elevator in the house. Ray, who had headed to the basement, put me in a luxurious room and grinned.

“I’m sorry.”

Liam apologized to me politely. Just as I was about to get choked up thinking I had been deceived, Nikki spoke quietly with Ray about something and then came to me to explain the situation.

“This is a room with jamming devices to prevent tracking. They say it’s safest to stay here for now. Since we’re in a position where we shouldn’t be discovered by each other…”

I understood after hearing Nikki’s explanation, but my plan was completely ruined. I had planned to escape to somewhere in America from here!

“Don’t worry. We’ll arrange for you to take walks in the garden at times like dawn when… the probability of detection is lower.”

Liam whispered with his still stolid expression. Despite his consistently stolid expression, judging by his words, he seemed to find this situation more awkward than I expected.

‘If I say I want to leave right now… it might make my situation worse.’

Maybe I should carefully time it when Ray isn’t around.

I looked around the room with a small sigh, thinking that I couldn’t relax even after escaping. It looked just like a luxurious cage.

Shin Haejun had rarely experienced writing dungeon reports. This was because other espers who assisted him, an S-class esper, took care of it.

However, this time was a special situation and he had no choice. Lee Jaeha and Han Nari had fainted, and he couldn’t film his meeting with Nine, so there was no one else who could write it.

Because of this, he was pushed to visit Team 1’s office to write the report, and he finished the work at an insane speed.

‘Did I make Jaeha wait too long?’

Although he said he would rest comfortably in the medical center until it was finished, it took longer than expected. It was because he wasn’t used to writing reports.

Rushing to the VIP area of the medical center, he frowned when he found the center in great confusion. Such a commotion in the VIP area that should always be quiet and clean? He didn’t like the thought that it might be disturbing Jaeha’s rest.

“Where is Guide Lee Jaeha?”

He first grabbed a staff member at the desk and asked. The staff member’s face turned pale blue.

Shin Haejun instinctively felt a bad premonition. A premonition that this commotion might… be related to Jaeha.

“Speak. Where is Jaeha now.”

He gritted his teeth and slammed the desk. The staff member squealed and trembled.

“A-Actually…”

Just as the staff was about to confess, the VIP center director came running out breathlessly. He had rushed over as soon as he received the report that Shin Haejun had appeared.

“S-Shin Haejun esper…! Th-That… hehe, let’s talk inside…”

“Bring Jaeha.”

VIP center director or not, a headache was coming on due to the creeping sense of foreboding. Shin Haejun crumpled his face and growled intimidatingly. The center director’s expression shriveled hesitantly.

“W-Well… actually, Guide Lee Jaeha… has disappeared…”

“What?”

“We’re… we’re looking for him. We’ll find him soon!”

At these absurd words, Shin Haejun’s expression became as terrifying as a demon’s.

“How long has he been missing?”

“Um… About an hour and a half…”

At these words that were beyond absurd and incomprehensible, Shin Haejun, unable to hold back any longer, slammed the desk again. The solidly built desk crumbled with a crack.
