*At night*
I stand on the roof of a skyscraper.
Wearing my hat, coat, and cloak.
My cloak flaps in the strong wind.
"Are you ready, rookie?"
I ask into an earpiece connected to someone.
And that someone is definitely Lee Donghyun.
[Ready, boss!]
With that, I put on my black mask and then turned on the camera, using my dark blue light, making the camera fly and point towards me.
"Yo! Good evening, everyone. You probably don’t know me yet, so let me introduce myself. My name is Indigo Reign."
I said to the camera while spreading my arms wide.
*in the city of Seoul*
People are walking back and forth, cars are driving by leisurely.
There are many advertising flyers.
Suddenly, all the flyers change, broadcasting me.
[Yo! Good evening, everyone. You probably don’t know me yet, so let me introduce myself. My name is Indigo Reign.]
The people passing by stop for a moment and look at the changed advertising pamphlets.
They look confused when they see a man wearing a suit, hat, cloak, and black mask covering his entire face.
All over Seoul, the advertising pamphlets had changed and showed my live image.
[As someone who likes to do evil things, I will announce that there is a bomb in the Han-eul Group building].
Instantly, the people around him were shocked and frightened.
*Currently at the Han-eul Group building*
"What!? We can’t get out!?"
"Yes, boss, the employees can’t open the exit doors,"
said the boss’s subordinate in a fearful tone.
"Ugh... so what this man named Indigo Reign said was true,"
said the boss while pointing at the TV showing my live broadcast.
[I will stop my actions if... someone finds me]
[The time limit is only 30 minutes, so hurry up and find me~]
"Find him!? How can we know! Right now, he seems to be on the roof of a building... Wait... Check the roof of our building."
With that, some employees began running up the stairs to the roof.
*Back at Indigo’s side*
I then turned off the camera.
"Good work, Donghyun."
[Thanks, boss!]
Donghyun, with his knowledge of technology and hacking, could help me carry out my plan.
Now, I just had to wait for those chicks to find me.
*At the Korean branch of the Hero Association*
[I will stop my actions if... someone finds me]
[The time limit is only 30 minutes, so hurry up and find me~]
Ji-hye watched the live broadcast.
"Ji-hye, as you can see, you have to find him right now,"
said the director in a low voice.
"With your powers, I’m sure you can find him."
"Of course, I will definitely find him."
With that, Ji-hye, already wearing her Hero suit, flew at the speed of light towards the sky.
As soon as she reached the sky, she glanced down, trying to find Indigo’s whereabouts, as she knew.
Indigo was currently on the roof of a tall building. With Lightnova’s sharp eyes, she was sure she could find Indigo.
Lightnova then flew down, trying to search the rooftops of the buildings.
*Back to Indigo’s side*
Hah... this is boring, it’s been 12 minutes and no one has found me yet.
I’m sure someone will find me.
But not this long.
Lightnova, maybe she’ll be the first to find me.
I really don’t want to meet her because there’s a chance I’ll die at her hands this time.
Unlike before, I might be unlucky this time.
Suddenly, a light shot by quickly.
I immediately glanced at the light, I could see Lightnova’s face, and I could see that she was also glancing at me.
Our eyes met.
Then, the light shot towards me, and I quickly dodged it.
"Whoa, calm down, Miss Lightnova,"
I said to Lightnova. I was actually quite panicked because she was very fast.
Not listening to me, Lightnova continued to attack me with her light.
I dodged attack after attack quickly.
She kept attacking me.
This was quite annoying, so I slapped Lightnova’s hand that was aimed at me, changing the direction of her attack so it wouldn’t hit me.
Lightnova looked surprised because I managed to slap her hand with such precision and speed.
She didn’t know that it was just a coincidence.
*On Lightnova’s side*
"What!? How could he slap my hand? Even before it touched his body?"
With that, Lightnova fell backwards from the blow.
Lightnova fell onto the middle of the roof.
Because it was so fast and his attack was suddenly blocked, it caused him to fall backwards.
Lightnova then looked at Indigo.
"Didn’t I tell you to calm down first? You are so impatient."
Lightnova looked annoyed.
Indigo then turned on a camera.
"Hello everyone, 21 minutes have passed, and luckily someone found me, and that is our hero! Lightnova!"
I pointed the camera with my power at Lightnova, who looked like she had fallen and was in pain.
*On the other side of the city*
"What? Why does Lightnova look like she’s fallen and in pain like that? What happened when the camera was turned off earlier?"
People wondered why Lightnova looked like that.
People became increasingly afraid.
*At the Korean branch of the Hero Association*
The director and the A-rank heroes were watching the live broadcast on TV.
"W-what happened!? Why does Lightnova look like she’s fallen and in pain!?"
"Could Lightnova have been defeated?"
"Calm down, there’s no clarity yet, and don’t make a stupid conclusions,"
said the director in a low tone.
Actually, he was afraid too, because their only S-rank Hero in Korea was Lightnova. If Lightnova was defeated, it meant that Indigo was an S-rank Villain who could defeat Lightnova.
[Don’t panic, Lightnova only fell because she was too excited~]
Indigo said teasingly, Lightnova looked like she was gritting her teeth.
Lightnova looked very annoyed.
*Back to Indigo’s side*
"Well, as I promised, I will stop my actions if someone finds me..."
Everyone sighed deeply, but it was still too early to breathe a sigh of relief.
"But... isn’t there an order that someone must attack me first?"
Everyone was shocked. They all concluded that Indigo had been attacked, and the only person who could attack Indigo at this moment was Lightnova.
Everyone inside the Han-eul building became tense, fearful, and trembling.
"All right, all right, I’ll give you a little leeway..."
"How about if Lightnova can land a punch on my body, then I’ll stop as compensation for attacking me just now?"
Hearing this, people began to tense up and put their hopes on Lightnova.
*On Lightnova’s side*
’Damn... why does he keep toying with me?’
Ugh... I hate this, he always toys with me and now he wants me to land a blow on his body.
Lightnova then got up from his fall, his legs trembling slightly from the pain.
"Go ahead, Miss Lightnova."
*Back to Indigo’s side*
Woah, she really got up. I think she really doesn’t want her pride to be damaged.
In that case, I’ll have to get serious. I’m also afraid of getting hit by her blows.
After Lightnova stood up, she quickly moved towards me, trying to throw a punch.
I dodged the attack.
Attack after attack kept trying to hit me, but of course I dodged them all.
I could feel that if I got hit by one of those attacks, I would be knocked far away.
Suddenly, my legs felt like they were being swept out from under me, and I fell. With that, I immediately teleported.
I almost died.
I teleported in front of Lightnova.
This was completely unexpected. I didn’t think Lightnova would sweep my legs out like that.
Well, that’s enough.
"Good job, Miss Lightnova, you hit me."
"As promised, I will stop my actions."
I said to the camera that was broadcasting live.
"Well, see you in my next action..."
With that, I raised my hat as if to salute and then teleported away.
*From Lightnova’s perspective*
"Huh... huh... he’s really annoying... lucky I hit his leg earlier..."
With that, the Han-eul Group building finally functioned normally again, and the broadcast in the pamphlet returned to normal as well.
*in my new house that I just bought with money stolen from the bank*
Phew... I almost died.
I opened the front door of my house and found two children playing together, Lee Donghyun and Lee Mira.
A brother and sister I saved during the time I defeated Professor Teros.
"Good job, boss!"
Donghyun said as he approached me.
"You did a good job too. Thanks to your hacking skills, I was able to pull off my plan successfully."
Hah... today was pretty calm and peaceful.
I hope the days ahead will remain like this.
