The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity

Episode 271

After a fruitful conversation with Han Ki-yeol, I returned to Seoul.

Originally, I was planning to take Busan, move west, circle around, and then come back up, but when they said it would act as a self-purifying effect, it became more ambiguous to help.

Still, the offer I received in Busan didn’t seem bad, so I went to see Sehee Lee and talked about business.

“It’s great. “Is this mayor of Busan the right person?”

“Didn’t you originally rate it highly?”

“The part that was highly evaluated was the part where work was done without noise. But it shows something more than that.”

“It’s better to be okay.”

“yes. Because he was a colorless and tasteless person when he was an aide to the president. “For a position like that, the ability to handle things like that is amazing.”

After saying that, Lee Se-hee was lost in thought for a moment and then made an impromptu decision.

“I can’t do that. Junho has decided to support Busan, but we can’t just stand still. “We need to increase our support for Busan and set up a workshop for the Big Bang series there.”

“Is that okay?”

“Yes, the Chairman will approve. They respect my judgment. And this isn’t just for Junho, it’s helpful for the group as well.”

Lee Se-hee explained the reason step by step.

First of all, the reason we are focusing on Busan is because it is advantageous for exporting the Big Bang series.

As I activated Yongyong’s claws on oil carriers centered around Doggie, not only oil transportation but also large-scale transportation became possible.

It is impossible to return from Saudi Arabia to Korea, but there is room to travel from Korea to Saudi Arabia.

In addition, Shinsung Group’s profits are being maximized as it has announced that it will pay as part of the payment through the Big Bang series. Through that profit, I also ran out of beans.

He said that Busan is one of the major bases, and the intention is to dominate the trade market that will grow in the future.

…Of course, all of this is when the oil carrier that left for Saudi Arabia returns safely.

Experts were also predicting the possibility of failure, but Lee Se-hee showed strong confidence in success.

“It’s something Junho has pushed forward, so there’s no way it could fail, right?”

“It’s not a bad thing to trust me.”

“It will definitely be successful. So, we are making an investment in advance.”

You seem firm in your thoughts. Of course, I also don’t think about failure.

Not only is the dog’s ability to synchronize with Yongyong’s claws, but even if a sea monster appears, the dog will be able to deal with it.

Even when I think about it again, I envy the blessing I received from Hyuna.

“Thanks to Junho, global logistics can be intertwined once again. If you use this, you can see huge profits. “The business world has already smelled it, and those in the political world who are astute will be aware of the power this has.”

So he must have tried to force the spoon in somehow. I didn’t like it, but after hearing Kim Yoon-gi’s words, I gave him some of the rice cakes.

The effect was greater than I expected, and nothing that bothered me happened after that.

However, the business world is still looking for opportunities.

That’s okay, but I didn’t feel the need to take the first step and take care of it.

“Please let me know if there is anything you can predict about how things will change in the future.”

“Can we be presumptuous?”

“Because I’m curious about Shinsung Group’s perspective. “As I said last time, it’s not about preferential treatment, it’s about having a trustworthy partner.”

“I’ll tell you to get ready right away.”

Lee Se-hee’s expression brightened when she smelled the money.

After talking with Lee Se-hee, I headed to the Blue House the next day. This is to report the results of eliminating villains to the president.

Several politicians died, but many more villains died. Citizens could not hide their astonishment at the fact that villains had been laundering their identities and secretly operating as neighbors.

In the process, fierce criticism continued towards politicians who colluded with villains.

The hardest hit was the ruling party, followed by the opposition party. At the same time, politicians were criticized for being in the same league, and a situation occurred in which political party approval ratings were largely shifting to independents.

What is surprising is that the approval rating for the regime has remained solid. The regime’s approval rating, which remains solid despite its separation from the ruling party, shows that the people have strong faith in the regime.

It was exactly what the president said before I left to eliminate the villains. The approval ratings of the ruling party and the government appeared to be largely separate.

This may all be due to the president’s great resourcefulness. And if Cheon Myung-guk can maintain that approval rating, the election will be a success.

“I’m sure that friend Han Ki-yeol has a job. “If I didn’t have faith, I wouldn’t have sent you down to Busan.”

When I met with the President and praised the Mayor of Busan, he smiled with satisfaction.

“Han Ki-yeol saw it correctly. Busan is a place with high potential. It may sound like a lot, but it is not good to focus on the metropolitan area now that we are recovering from the threat of monsters. “It would be good to develop the southeastern region from a long-term perspective.”

It is said that the President plans to support not only the southeastern region but also the Honam region, with Gunsan as a base, to continue its prosperity.

If you listen to the story, it seems like there was a plan.

I thought I could understand why the mayor of Busan was a close associate of the president. If we push and pull each other like this, things will get better.

However, I wonder if we will cooperate this well if Cheon Myung-guk becomes president, but we will have to wait and see.

The president, who was examining me, suddenly asked.

“Did you like Han Ki-yeol?”

“He did a good job.”

“I wouldn’t have offended you either.”

“….”

I don’t know how picky I am, so much so that they do more than just suit me. I’m not as picky a person as I thought.

[Please listen to what others say.]

Yongyong said that other people’s opinions will be different from mine, but what can I do by listening to other people’s opinions? My standards are more important.

[Oh, I’m dying of frustration.]

Either that or not. The president seems to have something he wants to emphasize to me.

“Don’t hate politicians too much.”

“Do I look like I think so?”

“I can see you’re trying to stay away.”

“That is correct.”

There is nothing good about being close. And that guy is that guy.

This was a thought that came to mind while clearing out villains this time. I guess the president was worried that my thoughts would spread into disgust.

“It makes politicians nervous. In that respect, it was a good thing you accepted Kim Yoon-gi’s suggestion.”

“Everyone is in trouble. “It has to be someone who can bring benefit to my company.”

“Because each party has such talent. More important than that is a position where you can take care of someone. “The ruling party and the opposition party would have taken it as a positive signal.”

Is there room for my small favor to be interpreted in such a big way?

“There are many great politicians who are not very visible. “It’s just that people who do bad things are prone to it.”

“Isn’t it better for me to keep some distance from politics?”

“Politicians would like that. But for the sake of this country, politicians need to be more alert. For that to happen, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have you nearby. Above all, the more you distance yourself from politics, the more likely it is that policies that are completely opposite to your opinions will emerge.”

That would result in unnecessary consumption of power for me and the risk of Choi Jun-ho in the political world.

“Keep an appropriate distance. “It will be to your advantage too.”

“I will pay more attention to politics.”

Since I was determined to establish myself in society, I had no intention of wasting what I had built up so far.

Looking back these days, maybe my political power has improved?

This is because in a conversation with Han Ki-yeol, he even remembered his aunt’s hometown.

[But is Busan really your hometown?]

Or what about it? It’s important to give a reason.

[Wow.]

That’s what the world is like.

“And hmmm!”

“Why are you doing that?”

He suddenly cleared his throat and appeared to hesitate.

“Please keep the fact that I gave this advice a secret.”

“Why?”

I didn’t understand, so I asked with a puzzled look on my face.

“Maybe if this conversation spreads, all the resentment will be focused on me?”

The president does not want to give up his leisurely life after leaving office.

Well, that’s fine. They say people age rapidly if they don’t work after retirement, but I didn’t want that to happen because I think the president is a trustworthy politician.

People don’t get old if they keep paying attention to something.

“I will try my best.”

Naturally, there was no soul in the answer.

I won’t tell you if I don’t get the chance, but if someone asks, is there really a need to keep it a secret?

I may change my mind after retirement because I’m bored, so I’ll have to look at it and make a decision then.

“Thank you.”

The President, unaware of my thoughts, smiled with a relieved expression.

After completing the internal crackdown, work was done to sharpen the dull blade again.

The ones that taste the best are Berserker and Dogmeong. Now that Doggy had gone far away to get my oil, all that remained was Berserker.

Berserker should be happy. Because I, the world’s strongest superhuman, cares so much about you.

[I think I might want to commit suicide.]

No. Berserker would like that guy.

However, I’ve been feeling discouraged lately so I’ll have to catch it again.

The guy who was busy training Jung Joo-ho these days was different from usual in the way he showed in front of me.

It’s a subtlety that others may not notice, but it doesn’t fool my eyes.

I quietly looked at Berserker and pointed it out.

“Has something changed these days?”

“What do you mean?”

“Your overall mood.”

Before, there was something that felt like it would burn everything down at any moment.

But now the fire has died down.

I was vaguely aware of it, but when I paid attention, I saw it right away.

“Can you even notice that? You seem to be getting stronger every day. “I don’t think there are any limits.”

“If you become satisfied, further progress will slow down.”

Maybe I could have stagnated, but as I had someone whose throat I wanted to slit with my own hands, I gained the will to become stronger.

“is it.”

“Are you satisfied?”

“That’s not it. “I’m still trying to become stronger.”

But they say that not everyone in the world is like me. The Berserker guy looks tired.

“It changed because I had something to protect.”

Berserker had no hesitation when running around as a villain. It was literally a series of days to see the star moment he was seeking.

However, Berserker, who became a superhuman as a citizen rather than a villain, was different.

I have a family to protect.

The difference between having something to protect and not having something to protect was huge. It looks like Berserker is lost in the gap between the two.

“Why are you…”

“Huh?”

“Why don’t you have any influence?”

“If there is, isn’t that more of a problem?”

“what?”

Berserker looked like he didn’t understand.

“If you worry about that and miss the time to become stronger, that’s even more of a problem. “If you think that the stronger I become, the safer my family will be, that will change your mind.”

[How safe are you trying to keep your family?]

I don’t know, but wouldn’t I be safer if I became stronger than I am now?

[I guess you just need to reduce the number of enemies…]

If you rely on such means, at some point your development will stagnate and you will regress.

I don’t know about Berserker or Yongyong, but I made the mistake of losing my family once.

It wasn’t that I didn’t have enough strength back then. But when it comes to power, the more power you have, the better.

Power creates choices, and when there are people who can help you choose good options, the surroundings become stable.

Berserker hasn’t gotten stronger yet.

Then just let me know.

“don’t worry. “I will change your mind too.”

“Now wait a minute.”

Berserker’s face became thoughtful.

You see what I mean. That’s why it’s good to have someone you can communicate with.

“If I get injured, Director Jeong Joo-ho’s training could be disrupted.”

“It’s okay, I can do it for you.”

Maybe Jung Joo-ho would like it more too?

It’s disappointing that the only excuse you can give is that much.

You don’t want to spar with me, so you use Jung Joo-ho as a shield?

This proves that Berserker’s mind is rotten.

If it is not corrected quickly, it will stretch further.

“don’t worry. “Because I specialize in human modification.”

The guy’s expression became determined, as if he thought it was inevitable.

“…I will take one of your arms.”

[What kind of sparring is so bloody? Is this how human sparring is supposed to be?]

* * *

After finishing my intimate sparring with Berserker, I also invited the brat and had a bit of sparring with him.

This is the level of utilizing one’s senses to catch a thunderbird. It may not be my family register, but I am sharpening my senses by beating it.

This tight-lipped guy has grown quite a bit, making the excuse that he stayed to solidify his relationship with me. He acts like he’s stupid, but he’s smart, so he’s quick to learn theories and apply them to his body step by step.

“There is something I want from America.”

“Jun Ho! America is our eternal friend! “Tell me anything.”

“Can you really tell me anything?”

“…No, that’s not it. You have to watch it in moderation. “You just said that, it’s scary.”

I didn’t say anything, but I was scared.

“There’s a guy in America I want to kill.”

“Kill me? “You mean the league?”

“No, Thunderbird.”

“what?”

“It’s a thunderbird.”

“….”

There was silence for a moment. Then the astonished guy stood up and shouted.

“What?”

“I’m trying to catch a thunderbird, so I wish America would lend me a route.”
