I Became a Genius Swordsman in the Pretty Girl Game

In Guangdong Province, an untimely disaster alarm blared.

“Let’s head that way!”

“The intruders’ location has been identified!”

“But why is the disaster alarm going off? Are the intruders dangerous?”

The Guangdong Province hunters, tasked with finding the intruders, were perplexed as they approached the specified location.

After all, a pitch-black cloud loomed before them, covering both the sky and the land.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

The sound of metal rang out as the cloud drew closer, and soon, the hunters could make out its true nature.

It was a swarm of insects—flies, mosquitoes, moths, cockroaches, ants, beetles, and more. By rough estimate, there were thousands upon thousands of them.

“Kyaaaaaaack!!!”

“What the hell are those bugs?!”

“Creepy! Gross!”

“Bugs…? How did bugs get in here? They’re usually kept out of Guangdong Province!”

The hunters couldn’t help but exclaim in disgust at the sight of the wriggling mass of insects.

In recent years, Guangdong Province had undergone a drastic transformation. Under the radical leadership of its landlord, Liu Jin, the region had become a cutting-edge magitech city with a formidable drone surveillance system. The air was always kept pleasant, and monsters never dared to venture into this territory.

Furthermore, a repulsion barrier encompassed the entire city, keeping even insects at bay.

As a result, the hunters employed by Guangdong Province were completely unprepared for this onslaught of insects.

“Ptooey! One got in my mouth!”

“Ahh! Get off! Get off me! They’re crawling inside my clothes!”

“What the hell is this?! Why are there so many bugs all of a sudden?!”

“Kyaaaaaaack!!!!”

Chaos ensued as the hunters frantically tried to swat away the insects.

Amidst the commotion, a group of people walked past them, unnoticed by anyone.

Kwaaaaaaaaang!

In Shin Do-hwa’s underground laboratory…

“Shin Do-hwa!!!”

A woman stormed into the room, kicking the door open as she entered.

“What’s going on?! The internet is flooded with posts bashing Guangdong Province! The central government has started to pay attention to us!”

Liu Jin, with her thick eyelids and downturned lips, confronted Shin Do-hwa.

“And now, out of nowhere, we’re being attacked by a swarm of insects! Is this your doing?!”

Liu Jin shouted, spitting out her words, but Shin Do-hwa’s expression remained cold.

Shin Do-hwa casually pointed her finger at Liu Jin.

Whoosh!

Peeung!

A red line streaked across Liu Jin’s cheek, leaving a trail of blood.

Drip.

Taken aback by the sudden attack, Liu Jin clenched her jaw and yelled, “Shin Do-hwa, what the hell do you think you’re doing?!”

“The bugs got in.”

Shin Do-hwa’s gaze followed her finger to the floor, where a cockroach lay on its back, wriggling disgustingly.

“…”

Liu Jin bit her lip. “It wasn’t me.”

“How can I trust your words—”

“Shut up. You’re being noisy. Besides, didn’t I warn you not to set foot in my territory without my permission? And now you bring in bugs?”

Shin Do-hwa’s voice was icy as she stared at the dying cockroach.

Gulping, Liu Jin fell silent.

‘I shouldn’t have taken on this crazy woman!’

She had provided the funds, time, and location as an investor, making her the de facto boss.

Yet, at some point, Shin Do-hwa had started acting as if she were the one in charge.

Despite this, Liu Jin couldn’t raise her voice to Shin Do-hwa.

This woman was truly dangerous—a venomous snake that would devour her if things went sour.

Shin Do-hwa looked down at the cockroach writhing to death at Liu Jin’s feet and opened her mouth. “There are posts bashing Guangdong Province on the internet?”

“…”

“Yes.”

“Then that must be the intruders’ plan as well.”

“…”

“Haven’t they been caught yet?”

Shin Do-hwa glanced at the cluttered holographic screens, her eyes narrowing in disgust at the sight of the insects’ hairy legs. “No. The drones can’t get through because of the bugs.”

“Then what do we do?”

“We’ll have to catch them ourselves.”

“…”

“Who?”

“You.”

Shin Do-hwa once again pointed her finger at Liu Jin.

“…”

“Me?”

“Yeah, I gave you power, so you should do your part.”

Shin Do-hwa continued to treat Liu Jin as a subordinate, and Liu Jin didn’t want to show any signs of fear in front of her.

“I…!”

“I know it’s too much for a fool like you, so I’ll lend you my personal guard.”

“What?”

Snap!

As she snapped her fingers,

Ssssh!

Ten women in black cloaks appeared behind Liu Jin.

‘When did they get there?!’

Their presence was so stealthy that Liu Jin hadn’t noticed them until now. Beads of cold sweat formed on her forehead.

“The Shin family’s personal guard. They should be able to find those rats. Make sure to find and kill them. I’m really angry, and it’s been a long time since I’ve felt this way,” Shin Do-hwa said, her eyes burning with rage.

Yoo-ri had to rinse her mouth with mouthwash several times to get rid of the bugs that had gotten into her mouth while leading the swarm.

Above them, the sky was filled with the insects Yoo-ri had lured, creating a buzzing cloud.

Luring the insects had been easy—the stench of the rotting chimeras’ bodies had attracted them.

After disposing of the failed experiments, all they had to do was bring the insects with them to Guangdong Province.

“…”

“Hmm, I feel like we’re the bad guys here,” Kang Do-hee remarked, looking up at the sky.

“Yeah, it feels like we’re the villains in a disaster movie, releasing a calamity upon the world,” Sophia agreed.

Despite the swarm of insects, none of them dared to approach the Utopia party. They had thoroughly coated themselves with high-quality hunter-grade bug repellent spray.

Shasha-shash!

Although the insects were invisible, one could still sense their presence. A cockroach that had been sneaking closer suddenly changed direction and scurried into a nearby building.

“…”

“Are we going to have to burn down the whole city to get rid of these bugs?” Yoo-ri asked.

“Well, it’s not like this was a bug-free area to begin with,” I replied nonchalantly. “It’s just that Shin Do-hwa’s influence kept them away. Guangdong Province used to be infested with insects.”

“Really?”

“And this is the quietest way to handle this situation. Before we left, I said we’d try to keep a low profile in China.”

“…”

“This isn’t exactly what I’d call quiet,” Yoo-ri interjected.

“No, this is quiet,” I insisted. “The real noise would be if we got into a fight with Chinese hunters. While we can deal with the bugs, if any of them get hurt, it could escalate into an international dispute. But chasing away the bugs is just a matter of time. It’s not a big deal these days.”

Se-hee nodded in agreement. “And I’ve instructed the Indian Rain Dance to manipulate public opinion and blame all of this on Liu Jin.”

“Oh, I didn’t think of that,” I admitted.

“Well, we’ve cleared away the bugs for now, but the real deal is about to show up.”

“…”

“Yeah, they’re here.”

I gestured across the street.

Stomp, stomp.

A woman with a disheveled appearance walked with large strides, and behind her…

“…”

“Mom…?”

Shasha Fong’s eyes widened in shock as she turned to see the Shin family’s personal guard.

“…”

Se-hee tensed up at the sight.

Liu Jin glanced at Shasha Fong and let out a dry laugh. “Ha. Shasha Fong.”

Her voice was devoid of emotion as she addressed her daughter. “Was all of this your doing?”

Shasha Fong’s body trembled as if she were having a seizure. Confronting her mother directly had brought out her fears.

“Hmph, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. I gave you everything, and this is how you repay me…?”

Liu Jin’s eyes, hidden beneath her thick eyelids, narrowed dangerously.

“I didn’t think I’d have to resort to this kind of parental discipline, but it seems I have no choice.”

Srrrrrr!

She drew a long sword from her waist. “Kill them all. Bring Shasha Fong to me alive.”

Thud!

The Shin family’s personal guard charged towards us.
