Heroine Hunts Heroines-Chapter 107

The suited woman bowed deeply, her ample chest bouncing as she did so, before heading upstairs.

So far, no other hunters have attacked us, which means they’re really just watching.

The military must have been called by now, but all that’s left is to shave this guy’s head and beat him down.

- A leader of a nation must never turn their back on the enemy! Either I fall, or she retreats—there is no third option!

I heard some grandiose declaration from inside the chamber.

Oh, wow. I didn’t expect this man to have such a side to him. So he does have some pride, even if his only ambition was dictatorship.

"Well, that’s impressive. For a dictator who hasn’t achieved anything, you sure have a good mindset."

Muttering that, I infused a Fire Punch directly into the mana stone-covered door.

Boom!

Overloaded by the magic, the door shattered, and I proudly stepped inside to meet the oh-so-great president.

"You insolent woman! Have you no respect?"

Yeah, like I’d show respect after barging in here. I slapped the Chief of Staff blocking my way so hard they passed out.

"You didn’t even try to run away."

"Why would I run? Even if you kill me, the world won’t change. You’ll just become more infamous."

Oh, I don’t care about that. I wasn’t planning to kill him anyway.

"I wasn’t planning to kill you in the first place."

"What?"

"I might look like this, but I actually dislike killing."

"Utter nonsense."

"I’m serious!"

No, really. I only kill when absolutely necessary.

Even those A-ranked brainwashed hunters—if they’d quietly stepped aside, I wouldn’t have killed them.

It’s their fault they fought back and died.

Alright, time to start the mission.

I gave Ha Jung-seok a deliberately troubled look.

"Actually, among the viewers, there’s a mission request to pluck out every strand of your hair and beat you up."

"What?"

"There’s a whopping 25 million won on the line."

I held up two fingers, bending one halfway down to tease him.

Yeah, buddy. You’re at my mercy for 25 million won.

"What—what is this nonsense?"

"Sure, plucking your hair might hurt, but the beating? That’s something we’ll personally take care of. Think of it as an industry reward."

Honestly, all the women here are beautiful.

Aside from me and Reyna, who only show half our faces, Choi Si-woo’s latex-like magical mask covers her whole face.

Maybe she wants to look intimidating in front of the president.

Han Suji is wearing her signature smiley mask, so her face isn’t visible, but with bodies like ours, this guy should be grateful.

Of course, first, we decided to shave his head.

"Wait! What are you doing? Why does this involve my hair?"

"Stay still unless you want it to hurt more. Well, it’ll hurt anyway, but you get the point!"

"Arghhh!"

I plucked every strand of his hair with the precision of a master craftsman.

For the foreseeable future, he’s going to be bald.

Now, the mighty president was trembling before me and my heroines, his head completely bare.

Yeah, anyone would be furious after having their hair forcibly removed. But who cares? Honestly, it was hilarious.

"My hair flows like silk, but the mountain before me is a barren wasteland. Oh, where did the trees go? Where could they have gone? Should I plant some? Shall I plant some?"

I twirled around his shiny bald head, laughing.

"You insolent woman! Do you think you’ll get away with this?"

"Of course. Now, let’s move on to the industry reward. Shia?"

"Yes~."

Villain Shia, formerly Choi Si-woo, smiled seductively as she wrapped her ceremonial sword around Ha Jung-seok, tying him up tightly.

"And now, esteemed president, feel free to enjoy the fact that you’re about to be beaten up by beautiful women at your age."

Ha Jung-seok tried to resist with magic, but it was futile. We stomped him to our hearts' content.

"Arghh!"

And just like that, the Blue House raid came to an end.

President Ha Jung-seok was left bald and humiliated, having lost all his hunters. He was so desperate that he had to rely on guilds for protection.

To top it off, I uploaded a picture of him to Tweety. This moment deserved to be immortalized, right?

I checked the chat on my channel.

- LOL bald!

- Beaten up by beautiful women at his age? Industry reward for sure, lol.

- For real, which other old man gets stomped on by beauties like that? Lol.

The reactions were delightful.

Once his hair grows back, I’ll have to come back to pluck it out again.

"Thank you, Baekhwa Fan Club president, for the 1.5 million won donation. Yes, indeed, a mad dog only learns through beatings, right?"

"Wow~ F-rank villain, thank you for the 1 million won. Bald presidents are great, huh? Stay strong!"

You little punk. You wanted the president to join your bald brethren, didn’t you?

Still, hunters are big spenders.

Later, I’ll upload a video titled "How to Easily Pluck a President’s Hair" on YouTube.

Yeonsu-dong

The Guild Alliance and the 1st Anti-Monster Defense Division of the National Army had just entered Yeonsu-dong, heading toward Songdo. However, the atmosphere among the army was far from ordinary.

The National Army, which had been advancing toward Songdo ahead of the Guild Alliance, had suddenly halted their march.

Choi Chul-sik frowned as he quietly observed their movements.

What could they be planning? Was Ha Jung-seok trying to use the hunters as his front line?

- "Hey, Choi Chul-sik, we’re pulling out now."

- "The foolish man has lost his hair, after all."

Even the infamous brothers, Heungbu and Nolbu, had returned to the Blue House, which seemed suspicious.

Reluctantly, Choi Chul-sik called the division commander.

"What’s going on? Why are you suddenly scurrying back? Did Ha Jung-seok order a retreat?"

"Yes, sir! Orders have come through for the Defense Division to retreat immediately, while the Guild Alliance is to proceed with the attack on Songdo."

Why now? Something didn’t feel right.

"What nonsense is this? Why is Ha Jung-seok pulling back the army?"

"Well, sir, it’s chaos right now. The Baekhwa Sect, led by Baekhwa herself, has launched an attack on the Blue House."

"The Baekhwa Sect?"

The National Army began its retreat to Seoul.

Witnessing this, Vice Chairman Jung Na-yun tapped on her laptop and pulled up Baekhwa TV, showing it to Choi Chul-sik.

"Chairman, take a look at this."

- "Thank you, Baekhwa Fan Club President, for the 1.5 million won donation. Yes, indeed, a mad dog only learns through beatings, right?"

- "Wow~ F-Rank Villain, thank you for the 1 million won donation. Bald presidents are great, huh? Stay strong!"

"What... the hell is this?"

"Baekhwa TV Live."

They were even receiving donations. Donations, to humiliate the president in that state?

Yeah, that much was obvious even at first glance. But that wasn’t the real issue.

"Wait, does the Baekhwa Sect have someone with portal abilities? Spatial movement? Isn’t Seoul supposed to have airtight defenses? The city’s anti-monster network is said to be unmatched, even by the U.S."

Thanks to the Cheonsan Group and numerous other engineers, Seoul was practically impenetrable—a fortress no one could invade.

Truthfully, Choi had warned Ha Jung-seok not to let his guard down, but Ha Jung-seok had been complacent, convinced Baekhwa wouldn’t target Seoul.

"Judging by how they reached the Blue House, it doesn’t seem like they had local help. It looks like they do have someone with spatial movement abilities."

The Baekhwa Sect still seemed to be occupying the Blue House. Would it be possible to march straight to Songdo and finish this?

"If Baekhwa isn’t there, this might be worth a shot."

"Yes, sir."

To be fair, even spatial movement has its limits.

While it’s an incredibly useful ability, its risks are high. It can’t be used repeatedly without exhausting its user. The spatial mover under Baekhwa’s command was likely a mutant, but consuming large amounts of mana would require an abundance of mana stones.

From Ha Jung-seok’s perspective, Baekhwa was a woman who valued public opinion.

"There’s no need to overturn the current favorable opinion of her. Rather than using brute force to escape Seoul, she’d likely wait for the spatial mover’s mana to recover."

They’d probably stay in the Blue House for a while, continuing to broadcast their humiliations of Ha Jung-seok until the mana was replenished.

"Still, who would’ve thought Baekhwa could subdue Ha Jung-seok like this?"

It was truly unexpected.

She had turned A-Rank hunters into mere meatbags in an instant. It wasn’t just Baekhwa herself—the strength of her subordinates was equally astonishing.

Choi Chul-sik had told Ha Jung-seok countless times:

"Don’t poke the beehive unnecessarily."

"To be honest, the president isn’t particularly powerful, is he? I heard he’s only a physical enhancement type."

That’s right. Ha Jung-seok himself wasn’t especially strong.

His real talent lay in psychological manipulation and brainwashing. He was skilled at training hunters and building loyalty.

Though he was a physical enhancement type, it wasn’t enough to elevate him beyond an A-Rank.

In reality, due to past injuries, he didn’t even have the strength of a B-Rank.

"That’s true. But isn’t the brainwashing the real problem? The hunters under Ha Jung-seok’s control are formidable—and there are villains among them."

Though weaker than the Guild Alliance, Ha Jung-seok’s hunter corps was still a significant force.

"Are you talking about those A-Rank hunters?"

"Yes. They even performed well during the Pyongyang Incident. It’s refreshing, though a bit disappointing to lose them."

Choi Chul-sik clicked his tongue.

"Excuse me?"

"While they were an illegal force, they were still effective. With the Hunters’ Association suffering major losses, those hunters were a critical asset."

Those who had fought alongside Yoo Jin-seok during the Pyongyang crisis had fallen too easily at Baekhwa’s hands.

This meant Baekhwa already possessed greater power than the Blue House itself. By sheer strength alone, the Hunters’ Association, excluding the Guild Alliance, couldn’t even compare.

"That’s true. Shall I contact Yoo Jin-seok and Kim Ji-hye with the magic gear? Should we also request help from Yoo Eun-ha?"

"Why Yoo Eun-ha?"

"She’s become something of a mascot for the Association."

"Yoo Jin-seok will probably object. Send him to Seoul instead. Judging by the situation, Baekhwa’s main forces hit the Blue House directly. The Guild Alliance should be enough for Songdo."

This wasn’t arrogance. Observing carefully, it was clear that Baekhwa’s main forces had been committed. Even if some of her elite remained, their side still had the Ice Queen and the current Association President, the Sun’s Warrior, leading the charge.

"It might just be possible."

The assault on Songdo was focused solely on villains.

Leaving survivors untouched while eliminating villains to weaken the Baekhwa Sect would suffice for this expedition.
