I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor

Chapter 465: Encroachment (1)

Translator: NovelBin

The foreign audience watched *Piero: Birth of a Villain*, their eyes glued to Kang Woo-jin, portraying "Henry Gordon," as they swallowed hard.

“What… what is that? That expression—it’s chilling.”

“Goodness, from the very start, the atmosphere is just…”

“So this is how he becomes the Joker? But—Kang Woo-jin’s acting is actually pretty good, right?”

“Hm, not bad. Guess he is worthy of that Emmy.”

No matter their initial doubts, one thing was clear: Kang Woo-jin had captivated the hundreds of viewers within five minutes of his appearance. Of course, some continued to deny his impact, reassuring themselves that it was only the beginning.

Kang Woo-chul, Seo Hyun-mi, and Kang Hyun-ah couldn’t take their eyes off the screen.

“Is that… my son? Really?”

“Woo-jin… you must have worked so hard.”

“Whoa!! That look—mind-blowing! It’s insane!”

As the powerful classical music softened, the screen showing Kang Woo-jin turned black, and the title appeared in the center:

- *Piero: Birth of a Villain*

The title lingered for a moment before vanishing, and Henry Gordon reappeared on the massive screen. This time, in color, and without the terrifying appearance from before. He walked hunched over, wearing a tattered hoodie, and as he moved, Woo-jin’s narration echoed in English over the scene.

*“No one looks at me, though I don’t look at the world either.”*

The camera followed his back. People passed him by, but not a single person glanced at Henry Gordon. Occasionally, those who noticed him scowled or avoided him, as though he were some kind of virus.

The following twenty minutes depicted Henry Gordon’s life.

It was painfully bleak.
