My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness Chapter 434

Harley’s Modern Diary (1)

Contrary to what I had hoped, I was able to complete my first schedule at the broadcasting station without any major problems.

Actually, it wasn’t that strange.

Even on the Internet, where complete anonymity and safety are guaranteed, it is difficult to openly express malicious intent face to face.

‘And that too in front of someone who has the power to harm you at any time.’

This is a world so accustomed to violence that even when the capital is devastated by a large-scale terrorist attack, most stores are open for business as usual the next day.

Although they are said to be pursuing a moderate path recently, vampires are definitely predators.

If he got angry and got hit for no reason, a catastrophe could have occurred, so it was natural for the other person to act cautiously.

“Of course, sometimes there are friends who lose their heads like this.”

“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!…!

The broadcasting station’s underground parking lot.

Harley looked down at the struggling man with his face held in her hands and scratched the back of his head with his other hand.

The captured man kept squeezing his arms and scratching and kicking him, but he did not move.

Just add a little bit of force to your fingers to make the opponent calm.

“Hmm, I expected it might come out like this.”

It was now a few days after Licorice began full-fledged activities.

So far, there have been no special incidents.

All I had to do was commute to various broadcasting stations and repeatedly show my face in accordance with the purpose of the idol project.

‘For intimacy, you have to start with getting used to it.’

Since it was a group that was very popular, there was no need to worry about recruiting.

On the contrary, it was even more troublesome to weed out the malice hidden in the pouring out proposals.

Wouldn’t it be difficult if you worked with a guy who had some pointless agenda and got edited by the devil?

At least, we were able to select such issues to some extent by investigating the person in charge of the program and those around him…

but it was inevitable that it would be difficult to find out in advance what even low-level staff members were doing.

“Well, no matter what, it’s still like that. “I never thought they would try to plant a bomb in a car.”

It’s also a special magic bomb with a concealment function and a firepower enhancement spell.

Harley looked at the unconscious man with strange eyes.

No matter how you look at it, he was not an awakened person.

I’m just a staff member who takes care of all kinds of chores at this broadcasting station.

It wasn’t an ordinary bomb, and he didn’t seem like a person who could obtain such an alien object.

‘I guess we need a serious conversation.’

Since ancient times, conversation is the best way to resolve misunderstandings and resolve matters amicably.

Of course, even if you do that, there will be limits to what you can find out.

I didn’t think that this man, who only seemed to have been used, would have a lot of information.

‘Well, that’s something that can’t be helped. The only way to do this is to carefully dig into each thing one by one.’

If I didn’t know, I couldn’t stay still once I sensed danger.

It meant that an enemy with the ability to obtain these items was hiding somewhere, targeting them.

‘Maybe the Beoncheonhoe bastards are slowly watching their liver.’

Harley roughly threw the man she had subdued into the vehicle and headed back to where the idols in charge were filming.

‘As expected, we need to further expand our information organization. I think it would be a good idea to make it up to people with related abilities, like Andrew Weaver. ‘Don’t those guys fall from the sky?’

It is said that the clan rules the Korean night, but strictly speaking, it is only a metaphor for the biggest shadowy force.

This was clearly a democratic country and one of the powerful countries with intact government control.

‘I guess I’ll have to try Andrew a little more. He would also like it more if he could work with people in the same industry. After somehow expanding the number of people…’

Harley, who had been walking with plans for the future, stopped.

At the same time, a sharp sense began to focus on one point.

His eyebrows, hidden behind sunglasses, were frowned.

“How much?”

A laugh escaped from his mouth.

I wonder what happened while I was away for a moment.

He bent his wrist and took a long stride forward.

Looks like I’ll have to do a bit of talking today.

***

An entertainment filming site with a chilly atmosphere.

However, not only the staff of the broadcasting station, but also the PD, who was the captain of the station, could not bear to say anything and could only stamp their feet and look at the center of the commotion.

“Tsk, anyway, I guess someone isn’t a monster. “Where are you talking about with your eyes straight?”

“It’s funny. “I can’t believe that just today, demons who may have killed several people are stalking the broadcasting station so openly.”

“Kyahaha! Doesn’t that mean they are full of people? “Maybe we’ll be buried in the entertainment industry?”

“Hmph, then all you have to do is immigrate to another place. “A country that is controlled by the will of vampires is a no-no here.”

“Oh, then I should seriously consider immigrating too.”

It had to be that way.

Those five men and women who suddenly stormed in and froze the filming set were people with a lot of power and strength.

‘Celebrities that are usually hard to see all at once!’

If it hadn’t been for something bad, I would have at least asked for a casting call.

However, the staff, including the PD, had no choice but to hold their breath and watch the situation as if it was not happening.

It was for a more practical reason, not simply for the sake of the other person’s reputation.

“oh? What if I glare at you? why? Shall we give it a try?”

The woman in front of them frowned and poked Licoris leader Yunseol on the forehead.

Even though he already knew that the other person was a vampire, there was not even the slightest hint of hesitation in his attitude.

“…….”

The members of Licorice, including Yunseol, just kept their mouths shut.

Although I had the strength to not make a fuss, I was not holding back.

It was because I knew.

Even if they truly resisted here, they wouldn’t be able to defeat even that one woman in the lead.

‘Swordsmith Cheon Seol-hyang….’

Actress Cheon Seol-hyang worked as a guardian hunting demons in the early stages of the cataclysm, but after retiring due to an unexpected accident, she turned to the entertainment industry and rose to the top.

Thanks to the Lord’s grace, he was a returnee who rose to Sword Master, the limit of humanity, much stronger than Yunseol, who rose to level 6.

The emergence of returnees had a great impact on all walks of life, and the entertainment industry was no exception.

Licorice only became a hot topic because she announced her entry into the entertainment industry as a vampire framed as a demon.

The number of awakened people around the world who have already entered and established themselves in this industry is by no means small.

Among them, Cheon Seol-hyang was a representative who had been active in the entertainment industry for over ten years.

In addition to her beautiful appearance and excellent acting skills, she has an overwhelming ability to handle action scenes that does not require CG or wires.

And Kangja, who rose to the ranks of Korea’s best actresses based on her medal as a former Guardian, was openly giving off hostility.

‘It’s not just that. All of them over there are older than Yunseol… We can’t stand against them.’

Lee Na-hee, standing at the back of the group, bit her lip.

The eldest sister, who came to the front as if to protect the members, became angry at the fact that she could not do anything even though she was enduring all the humiliation.

‘I knew it. I already knew I would be treated like this…’

No matter how successful the debut song was, there was no way that alone would change the perception of vampires.

This project was created in the first place to accomplish that difficult task.

I was fully prepared to face such a hostile reaction.

“It’s unpleasant, so why don’t you stop polluting the air and disappear from this floor? I think I would be more grateful if I died….”

“…….”

The face of Jin So-ran, who had taken care of me like a real sister since she was in the moderate crew, came to mind.

My admiration for the ‘world of stars’ developed little by little while talking with her.

‘But I…!’

In the meantime, I was resigned.

I thought it was nonsense to talk about being a vampire and being a celebrity.

I blamed myself for being so greedy that I survived until now thanks to my father’s sacrifice.

“I’m also very disappointed in the PD. No matter how thirsty they are for viewership ratings, they even invite Mine.”

“That’s what I…”

“Hmm, I guess I’ll have to talk to the director separately… no, the director.”

“Huh! “Actress Cheon!”

It was no joke that she, who worked as an office assistant at Heterosis, was the first to apply for this project.

In her mind, images of Jin So-ran, who was having fun while carrying out this plan, and the members who had gone through hardships together, flashed by.

‘How did you get here? Do you really think you’ll give up after something like this?’

Memories of the past overlapped with present reality.

And then, for a moment, something snapped in her mind.

“Whoa.”

That was why.

Lee Na-hee let out a deep sigh and stepped forward, and an outspoken remark came out of her mouth.

“…Madame. We have to work now, right? So, why don’t you just keep things simple and leave?”

The air froze momentarily.

Those who were making noise and arguing, the staff who were just watching in the background, and even the members of Licorice looked back at her with wide eyes.

“Ah, ma’am… you…!”

The corners of Cheon Seol-hyang’s eyes trembled.

Thanks to Gyeongji, she remains young and has already entered her 40s.

Therefore, the words I heard from a girl who appeared to be a middle school student were bound to be an even bigger blow.

“Is it… Nahee? Even so, he is a senior…”

“Oh, that’s right? Mistake of words. Mistake of words. No, but that’s right, right? Can’t you see your surroundings right now? Did everything come to a halt because of your seniors? If you have any complaints, come to me later after everything is over. I wonder how many people will be harmed. If you are a senior, what is the unit price?”

Even though the way he spoke was a bit odd, it was a straightforward opinion no matter who heard it.

In fact, there was no way that they, who had been through all kinds of hardships in this world, could not have known how badly it would affect their reputation if they came in droves and behaved like this.

Nevertheless, the reason why they did this was because they judged that it would be more advantageous to achieve their goal even if they had to endure a considerable amount of damage.

As I had accumulated so much, I was confident that I would be able to overcome it in some way.

But apart from that….

“You’re so arrogant.”

Lee Na-hee, who had opened her mouth without hesitation along with Cheon Seol-hyang’s cold voice, got stuck in her throat.

Only then did I come to my senses, but the water had already spilled.

Cold eyes looking down at her stiff body.

At the same time, the surrounding area was engulfed in silence as the force swirled like frost.

“Wow, that kid messed with my sister’s temper.”

“Sister~ I’m gentle. Anyway, can’t I just kill him? “It’s going to be difficult to resolve.”

“Things are going to be troublesome later.”

The world now is different from before the cataclysm occurred.

The Supernatural Abilities Management Bureau and the Guardians were working hard day and night to somehow maintain social order, but it was inevitable that many things would change with the times.

One of them is about the disputes that arise between awakened people.

On Earth, there were no monsters to defeat or demon kings that threatened the world.

In such a situation, it was impossible to suppress the use of the abilities of those with special abilities.

“I think they installed it only because they believed in that proud phantom… “It looks like you need some teaching about how dangerous housekeeping is.”

The most important thing there was individual force.

The moment it was unleashed indiscriminately and caused harm to civilians, it was labeled as a villain, but using it as a means of resolving conflicts between people was not so reprehensible.

As long as you don’t kill the other person or hurt them too badly.

‘Because he’s a vampire, he probably has basic regenerative abilities.’

Cheon Seolhyang roughly raised the blade and swung it lightly.

By her standards, of course.

“for a moment…!”

“Nahee!”

A sharp wind blew.

At the same time as the members of Licorice wrapped around the frozen Nahee and pulled her back, the three, including the strongest Yunseol, raised their blood magic power and blocked her path.

‘It’s not an all-out attack! At least one blow…!’

It was an attack from an opponent who was at least level 7 or higher based on vampire standards.

Even if you succeed in blocking it, you won’t be okay.

The moment a thought like escaping from reality crosses my mind: “What if filming gets messed up like that?”

“What is this, a grown man, just saying something right to a child?”

The now familiar man’s loud voice flowed into my ears.

Quad Deuk –

I don’t know when it appeared, but before they knew it, a wide slab blocked their path.

The sound of something being crushed rang out from the man’s grasp as he stretched out one hand forward and grasped the air.

““Director Ha!””

Hearing the voice calling him, a large man with white hair and sunglasses glanced back.

Then he looked at them all at once and nodded calmly.

“Is everyone okay? “As long as I tidy up my hair, there won’t be any problems with filming.”

“…Chief, are you cumming?”

One of the members blurted out as if he was dumbfounded by his attitude.

It seems as if filming is even possible under the current circumstances.

“Kahaha! Well, actually, that’s not wrong either. But there’s nothing you can do about it, right? “I have another schedule, so I can’t waste any more time.”

“No, of course the filming is cancelled…”

Ignoring his protest, Harley turned her gaze forward.

To the five men and women who were looking at us with frowning faces.

‘Are these people also on the same team as those who tried to plant the bomb?’

His eyes scanned the other person in an instant.

All of the returning celebrities who came here were people with a certain level of experience.

In other words, this is a generation that has personally experienced the cruelty of ‘demon’ vampires in one way or another.

They had their own sense of justice and had sufficient motivation to take action.

‘Especially that woman…’

His eyes turned to the actress in front.

Relevant information was quickly organized and delivered through Hesperon.

‘He was strong and popular enough to be appointed as the next branch leader of Cheonseolhyang Guardian…’ He

was a person who fell into the trap of a clan that was at its peak ten years ago, lost all of his unit members, survived alone, and suddenly retired into the entertainment industry.

Judging from his abilities and connections, he is a difficult opponent to treat carelessly.

Of course, Harley didn’t care about such trivial matters.

“…What are you? No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem like he’s a vampire…”

“Okay, I’m busy, so let’s get this sorted out quickly! We can do the individual interviews while we’re filming.”

He took off his suit jacket, threw it aside, rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, and cracked his neck.

The pure white teeth revealed in the bright smile sparkled dazzlingly under the lights of the filming location.
