A woman with long sky blue hair hanging down in front of me, like a cold cat. Lee Seol.
There are many different words for her.
First of all, she is one of the only three A-class heroes in Korea, along with Stardus. She works under the nickname Icicle and is based in Busan to suppress villains.
And she has another status as famous as a hero. It's the name Lee Seola.
She is the third-generation conglomerate heir to Korea's second-largest conglomerate, Yuseong Enterprise.
Having been somewhat recognized for her superior beauty and the title of the third generation of chaebol, she drew much attention by saying that she would live as a hero after awakening her abilities.
Despite being the third generation of a conglomerate, it seemed good to do hero activities for citizens, her image was quite good in Busan, where Yuseong Enterprise's headquarters are located.
In particular, due to her unique beauty and smiley impression, she’s gaining the image of a good third generation chaebol from the public. She plays a hero that she doesn't even need to play, so it's natural in the first place.
And this is just her mask..
Pretending to be an innocent woman who doesn't know much about the world, she was actually a dark secret with ambition to devour South Korea from behind. Hero activities are also intended to hide such intentions, manage images, and create connections with associations.
She, who was practically in charge of the Yuseong Enterprise from behind, will actually become the head of the nation's leading company after the self-destruction of her rival, HanEun Group.
Since then, in the original work, she has stepped down due to the collapse of Seoul and expanded her power by eating up the political world one by one.
And in the end, she becomes the de facto ruler of the Republic of Korea, who can go as she pleases and change the law as she pleases in the second half of the original, grabbing all the business, politics, and public sentiment.
And she, like that, is now in front of me.
"Partnership…"
After muttering so quietly, Lee Seol quietly puts down her tea cup.
In the background, the sunlight was shining, reflecting on her sky blue hair.
"Interesting."
Then she smirked, and continued, looking at me coldly.
"Do you think I'm going to accept this, as a hero, a partnership with a villain?"
The woman spoke coldly.
At the same time, I feel that the temperature of the room has dropped slightly.
No, it might have actually gone down considering her ability.
And in response, I grinned.
"What are you talking about? We know each other."
This is where it's important.
Lee Seola, who was seen in the original comic, is a very scary person. A woman of almost natural ability and situational judgment to penetrate the psychology of an opponent
But that's when she has more experience and more experience.
She is still ambitious, and she is clumsy compared to the latter half of the original. Her judgment will be a bit blurry at this time.
In a word, "Still a child".
I mean, this is the only time I can persuade her. Before she ripened.
So I continued, with a relaxed smile.
"I clearly know who is behind the expansionist movement of Yuseong Enterprise, you don’t have to be like that. I'm not trying to distract you, I just want to be in a smooth relationship where we walk the same path. I mean, like a comrade."
After saying that, I raised my hand and lifted the empty teacup and kettle next to me with salt power and poured a cup of coffee in front of me. And I took it and drank it. It's good.
Lee Seola, who slightly wiggled her eyebrows at my appearance showing the comfort of her home, quickly regained her composure and told me coldly.
"I don't know what the hell you know about me. In the first place, what can you do for me? Nonsense."
Summary: Explain what you can do to help me
I smirked at her once again.
"There's a lot I can do for you. Well, there's no end to the list."
If I brag about it in front of her, I won't look cool
I quietly took a USB out of my pocket and threw it at Lee Seola.
She flinched slightly but snatched from the air when a black object suddenly flew toward her.
When she held the USB in her hand and looked at me as if it was something, I shrugged and opened my mouth.
"These days, you seem to be busy merging each of the other companies and helping politicians… Well, I gave you something that could help. I hope you think of it as my small gift."
I just stood up after saying that. She looks at me asking what I'm doing when I suddenly get up.
"I'll be back in a week. I hope you'll accept my offer by then."
"Excuse me? What is this?"
"I'll see you later, then."
I said what I had to say and wrapped myself in a cloak.
Special thing about villains. He disappears after saying what he wants to say.
Before teleporting like that and disappearing, I looked at her for the last time.
She's looking at me with sky blue hair, slightly sharp cat eyes.
Looking at her looking much younger than the latter half of the original, I thought to myself.
Yeah. Really, I'd like you to accept it. Cooperation.
I chose it after thinking about whether to deal with you or not, but at least this is how much help I have.
So with her green eyes in my eyes for the last time, I teleported and disappeared there.
Ugh, I have to go up to Seoul again.
It's so annoying.

"Haa…"
The place where Egostic left.
In front of him, Lee Seola exhaled.
"Ha. No, really… What was that?"
She breathed her last breath until he left.
Actually, she didn't show it, but she really thought her heart was dropping. to the point where one's back is wet with cold sweat
Suddenly, she never imagined that Egostic, the villain, would appear in front of her. Even more because he was always looking for Stardus in the first place.
And she thought she was really getting goosebumps when he showed her that he knew her plans. How? She’s sure the information was thoroughly, really thoroughly concealed
When she saw his eyes that seemed to pierce everything, she was nervous without realizing it, but she managed to pretend to be relaxed.
Egostic. She had some speculation about him.
Since she was born, Lee Seola had a talent for almost hitting out what others were thinking. She can almost match other people's minds with their natural hair and wit.
And so she guesses, Egostic was a villain in the first place, but she had no animosity towards the world. This is the same for hero Stardus. Rather, he pretends to be a villain and acts like a hero.
And through the lines of events that happened and his steps, she was half certain. Egostic, he's kind of an anti-hero, of great ability
And the possibility of him appearing in front of her? It didn't hit that high. Yeah, no matter how good he is, how could she know?
And today, Lee Seola had no choice but to admit that she underestimated him. He knew everything about her, even knew she knew through him, and even offered cooperation.
And when she asked him what he could do for her, he threw a USB and disappeared. He just said what he wanted to say and left.
"Sigh… What is this?"
What the hell does he want from her? Why did he approach her?
Egostic from the first time. He was a very bad opponent when he became an enemy.
Egostic, she had seen through him with insight from the beginning. He pretends to be a villain, but in reality, he looks paradoxically like a hero. On top of that, his behavior seemed to have something to do with Stardus, given her natural wit. She doesn’t know why, but.
There were several reasons to be wary of him.
The overwhelming information power that no one knows where he got it from, the overwhelming financial power that no one knows where he got it from, and the influence on it cannot be ignored. She doesn’t know how, but it formed a kind of fandom, which is not only the size of the fandom, but also boasts a tremendous loyalty that believes in him unconditionally. No, in the first place, public opinion about Egostic is generally good even among the general public.
In other words, Egostic, he is almost the most influential person in Korea as an individual. No one knows him well because he usually wears a mask, in a way, he’s a very dangerous and scary existence.
However, she wasn't too wary because he didn't seem to have any animosity to judge, and he didn't seem to have much to do with herself. She kept a close eye on it, but that's all.
But he suddenly appeared in front of her.
There's a very strange story about cooperation.
"Haa…"
Lee Seola's head became complicated.
How the hell does he know about her ambitions, and what does it mean to cooperate? Is it a trap?
Especially the last look he had before he disappeared. She trembled slightly at the thought of the cold gaze looking down at her, as if it was a lie to keep smiling.
Isn't that a real trap?
In fact, she has no reason to reject him unless he is hostile to her. Cooperation with him is positive, not negative.
….Whether or not he really wants to cooperate with himself, she’ll find out when she opens this.
She looked at the little USB in her hand.
…I’m not gonna get hacked if I plug this in, right?
"…."
No way
Though she thought it was a useless worry, she plugged it into a subcomputer just in case.
What the hell's in it.
She opened the USB even though she was nervous. Inside…
"What?"
There were countless files that recorded irregularities and loopholes from other competitors.
From internal information to confidential documents to personal corruption.
Such documents that you can use in a lot of ways..
Her eyes, looking at them one by one, shone slightly.
With these things, the mergers and acquisitions she's been struggling with these days can go very, much faster.
Already in her head, there were countless ways to use this information to swallow other companies.
"…You were a very nice person."
Egostic.
Now that she sees it, she thinks he’s really going to help her. He’s not trying to intimidate her. He can't be her enemy. then.
Unexpectedly, she suddenly started to have a happy circuit with the gift.
Judging by herself, smart and smart, Egostic seems to be a useful person who really wants to cooperate with her.
If so, of course.
There's no reason to reject him, is there?
***
A week later.
"So, have you thought about my proposal?"
"Yes, well, there's nothing we can't do together."
So the two held hands.
I, Egostic, will embrace the dark secret of the future, which operates the No. 1 company in Korea's market capitalization.
"You're lucky."
You got me in at once.
