‘I need a narrative to sell?…. What?’

Ji-Cheok wasn’t sure what he was supposed to do. He had lost track of how many times he had to ask Mu-Cheok to explain the concept again.

— Okay look, Hyung. People always want to help the poor. Regardless of the reason, beating up a guy to the pulp isn’t a great or sustainable look. If this continues with other people you fight, people might start sympathizing with Shelton, because he starts looking like the underdog, That, unless you change your narrative. Do you know what people like more than helping the poor?

Mu-Cheok’s eyes had lit up as he got excited at what he was about to say.

— Fighting evil! Make it clear that you’re the hero. People are suckers for this. Why do you think they pay money to watch superhero movies, make mean comments against the villains, and then shake their fists in the air when their favorite hero loses a fight?

It was a good thing that Mu-Cheok had left the field of law. Someone with his motivation to change the world couldn’t achieve that goal by working in an enormous office building as a judge or lawyer. Ji-Cheok was relieved that Mu-Cheok would become the future of Korea, as a Hunter.

Sure enough, the news about Shelton spread like wildfire. He was canceled, as his skill attack on someone that wasn’t Awakened was largely condemned. Meanwhile, Ji-Cheok was painted as the apostle of justice and praised for punishing Shelton. Fortunately, people did see Ji-Cheok as the hero that fought the evil Shelton.

— I’m not wrong, right? You have to agree that it’s true. Mu-Cheok had said.

It didn’t matter...
