Laughing Shrewdly

( #ShortShort 　Body: 590 characters)

　The boss of an evil organization aiming for world conquest was not a typical villain.

　He helped elderly people who fell in the street, ensured thorough employee benefits, and offered tea, snacks, and blankets to the heroes of justice he captured. "Boss, please act more like a villain!" "But I have to help people in need."

　One day, the organization obtained top-secret information that would shake the world. It was classified data that, if released, would cause global chaos, and if used, would incite conflicts between nations that everyone would have to bow down to. "With this, world conquest is in sight!" While his subordinates were excited, the boss said with a straight face, "This is bad. If we leave it alone, people all over the world will be in trouble. We must return it to the owner immediately." "Let's use it for blackmail!" "No, we should deliver it to the appropriate authorities."

　The boss ran around himself. Despite making a blunder by misaddressing the documents and accidentally submitting them to a whistleblower hotline, he sincerely worked with the relevant parties. As a result, years of corruption and conflict were resolved one after another, and the world became more peaceful than before.

　A few months later, the boss was smiling with satisfaction. "Good. Now we can work toward world conquest with peace of mind." His subordinates lamented to such a boss, "...What do you mean 'good'? Usually, when you have leverage, you're supposed to laugh shrewdly and use it for world conquest." "But if I did that, everyone would be in trouble, wouldn't they?"

　That day, the organization was awarded for its contribution to world peace. The boss felt shy on stage, while his subordinates looked on with distant eyes.

　The road to world conquest was endlessly long.

(End)

　He's a good boss. If you keep trying, I'm sure you can conquer the world.
