The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity

Episode 272

“….”

James Reed came out after talking with Choi Jun-ho and looked at the sky.

The conversation we had just before was a series of shocks.

thunderbird. It was a secret and legendary entity in the United States, and it was a divine beast so powerful that it was said that its existence could destroy America.

The United States chose to coexist with this entity rather than confront it. The Thunderbird was a powerful divine beast, a wise being, and a being who taught America many things.

But there is also darkness behind it.

Unlike the well-known divine beasts, the Thunderbird was greedy, and as time passed, its demands from the United States increased.

Above all, concerns in the United States were growing as the possibility that the Thunderbirds may have contact with the league was raised.

The party can be said to be an association of vested interests, but the League was an organization that sought to destroy the country by overthrowing the system.

If the collusion between the Thunderbird and the League is true, then it was an entity that gave strength to the greatest threat.

However, whether to participate in the removal of thunderbirds was a different matter.

“ah! “My head hurts!”

As I continued to think, I held my head. No matter how smart I was, I couldn’t think of a way to overcome the current situation.

First, Choi Jun-ho’s proposal must be reported to the higher-ups.

However, a lot could change depending on the nuance.

So, rather than reporting right away, James Reed chose to seek advice from a trusted partner.

The person I contacted was Anna Christine.

She is an excellent negotiator and Choi Jun-ho’s expert, so she will guide the situation in the necessary direction.

Even after hearing that she would be joining forces with Thunderbird, her expression was rather calm.

[We ended up here.]

“Did you expect it?”

[Due to his tendency, he often clashes with greedy gods. I thought it might crash at some point, but it’s much faster than I expected.]

“So what are you looking at?”

[Do you want to include my opinion in the report?]

“High-ranking people won’t be happy about another variable occurring.”

[that’s right. The party’s position must also be considered here.]

However, everyone agreed that it was festering internally.

Although American politicians are concerned about the behavior of thunderbirds, they are swayed by the benefits that thunderbirds bring. If this is suddenly taken away, it is difficult to imagine what kind of repercussions will occur afterwards.

In fact, where there is a thunderbird, a religion that worships the thunderbird as a god is popular, and a pseudo-religion that claims that this place is paradise based on the fact that monsters do not exist is rampant.

[Before that, we need to consider one fact.]

“What do you mean?”

[Does he have the power to hunt Shinsu? What do you think, Macho Man, as someone watching from the side?]

“That…”

James Reed was lost in thought for a moment. If we objectively analyze Choi Jun-ho’s skills, he has already succeeded in hunting plus-level monsters on his own.

If so, it means that it has the power of at least a plus-plus level monster. Is it really worse than a plus-plus level monster?

It was not easy to come to a conclusion on this matter. Because I have not yet felt the true strength of that monster.

Still, while sparring, I experienced Choi Jun-ho’s endless strength. It was hard to imagine him being knocked down by someone.

Even if the opponent is a divine beast.

“It seems to me…”

The conversation between James Reed and Anna Christine continued for a long time.

* * *

I spoke with the boss and he said he needs to discuss it with his superiors, so I plan to wait.

If it were me in the past, I would have attacked where the thunderbird was.

But the Thunderbird may be the strongest enemy I have ever faced.

And it was an unknown opponent whose strength had never been revealed.

To deal with it in perfect condition, you need to eliminate variables.

[What if the US rejects it?]

Why not just sneak in and deal with it?

[What is that?]

First of all, it meant trying to do everything well.

While Zolaman brought America’s answer, I also planned to see that the oil carrier that had left for Saudi Arabia returned safely.

If this comes back safely, many changes will occur, so at least I will see it with my own eyes before leaving.

[It’s not a bad decision.]

This is how Yongyong judged my plan to deal with the Thunderbird.

[He is so greedy that he is causing trouble. [You did a good job digging into that gap.]

If you knew that well, couldn’t you have told me in advance?

[I couldn’t answer because you didn’t ask!]

…He seems like a mean guy.

Anyway, while preparing to deal with the Thunderbird, I began to focus the remaining time on fixing Berserker’s rotten mind.

People who have something to protect inevitably become distracted. No matter how strong a being is, it can become a weakness and it can fall while swinging around without being able to use its power.

But I think being treated like this is the end of stupidity.

If you have the power, you should think about taking charge of the situation yourself. Why should you take care of yourself by thinking about a crisis that has not yet come? That’s what a powerless person should do, not a strong person’s behavior.

[But he’s weak.]

That’s your standard for me and Yongyong.

Still, if you’re a Berserker, you’re at a level where you won’t get hit anywhere.

I raised it to this level and it would be difficult if I got beaten up.

[That’s right.]

Berserker is a valuable resource. He is the real power and influence I can exert. If the existence of a family becomes a weakness for a guy like that, I need to guide him so that it doesn’t become a weakness.

If this were to be the case, I wouldn’t have dragged him to the sunny area and made him meet his family.

So I dealt with it more harshly than usual.

“Until the rotten spirit is completely erased.”

“….”

The guy who usually groaned got up and wriggled like a zombie.

Still, perhaps because he was very receptive, he knew what I meant. In that case, my job would be to completely repair his rotten mind.

These problems are easily solved through violence.

“The strong deserve to enjoy it, but it is a sin to stand still. Because while I stand still, other guys get stronger quickly.”

If I wanted to protect my family, I would have had to find a way to become stronger by any means necessary, rather than becoming weak-hearted.

I approached Berserker, who was completely lying down, and asked.

“Do you understand what it means?”

“…I understand with my head, but my body is very tired.”

That’s because the limbs are broken, that’s normal. Berserker probably doesn’t know. It’s because of these words that I think his will has weakened.

The guy from before burned up his fighting spirit even more, saying he wanted to catch a glimpse of the star.

When I came up to the sunny side, I was full.

“It happened because you were weak. “If you don’t want to be defeated, you should become as strong as me.”

“Do you even realize how unreasonable the request is?”

“Are you saying you’re going to kill me? You want to see a star moment? “Then shouldn’t we try to narrow the gap?”

[He can’t even steal gifts like you? [You didn’t even get a friend fee from me?]

The world is inherently unfair. We can do everything we can to help him become stronger.

But maybe it’s because this is a family-related matter.

Berserker didn’t seem to agree 100% with what I said.

“Can I protect everyone just by becoming stronger?”

…I guess the effect of education is not complete. If you look at the Berserker guy’s skeptical reaction.

“I can’t mess with you just because you’re strong. “If that’s not enough, why don’t you bring in a dog like me?”

“You’re talking about a puppy.”

Berserker’s skeptical eyes flashed. Actually, a dog is an excellent guard dog.

Thanks to my continued beating and special treats, it was now at a level where it could fight even plus level monsters.

If you bring it home, you won’t have to worry, right?

Berserker seems to be craving the dog, but he hasn’t even gotten around to it yet.

“But can you tame a dog with your skills?”

“It must be difficult.”

“That’s why I’m telling you to develop strength. If your power is strong, they won’t be able to mess with you and you can form a force. And you can tame monsters like a dog, but why are you being swayed by it?”

“…surely.”

Somehow, I think taming the dog was more persuasive than if I talked about it in detail.

I’m confused whether I should like this or not.

[Anyway, since you understand it, shouldn’t you think positively about it?]

If you look at the results, that’s true.

But I feel like I was more persuasive with my words than with my words, so I’m getting a little angry.

Anyway, now that he has a goal, I need to guide him towards that part.

“Then, before bringing in a pet like a dog, let’s first acquire the skills to handle it.”

“I have broken limbs now.”

“You have good recovery, right? Spray the healing agent and attack again.”

“….”

Berserker looked helpless at my words, then sprayed the healing potion and got up.

To be cruel.

It is also sturdy and feels good to beat.

* * *

It definitely changed because I had a goal. Struggling with a purpose came to me in a more lively way.

Even so, the results did not change.

Still, if you look at the process, it made me use more strength, so I worked out quite well after playing Berserker.

[Isn’t this a bit harsh?]

Yongyong was disgusted as he looked at the fallen Berserker. I was so excited that I used my hands a little too hard. Still, he has great recovery ability. I approached the guy who couldn’t move and sprayed him with two special bottles of healing agent.

This is how I think of Berserker. I used two bottles of this expensive recovery medicine.

[You just need to adjust to using one bottle, right?]

You keep arguing, Yongyong.

Anyway, the effect of the restorative medicine was clear. At first glance, what looked like a corpse changed into a human appearance.

At that time, a knock was heard at the entrance to the training room and the door opened. While me and Berserker are sparring, no one else comes in. Who is it? I turned my head and saw a girl with outstretched arms and legs that contrasted with her cute appearance.

“dad…! Uh huh? “It’s Choi Jun-ho!”

I knew this for the first time.

That human eyes can be heart-shaped.

I didn’t know who the girl who approached me was until I heard Berserker’s voice and found out.

“Sohee….”

“Dad! uh? “Why are you hurt like this?”

This girl was Lee So-hee, Berserker’s daughter. I didn’t recognize him because I had only seen his name and his childhood photo.

But what brought Berserker’s daughter here?

Berserker refused Lee So-hee’s help and staggered to his feet.

“It is a common injury suffered during sparring.”

“This is a common occurrence?”

“Because it’s a sparring between superhumans. “The more intense it is, the more helpful it is.”

He answered resolutely, as if he did not want to appear weak in front of his daughter.

Well, I did beat him up fiercely. Still, this is all for the good of Berserker, not just for me.

[Lie.]

I also like it, so isn’t that okay?

[That’s a different story.]

I looked at Lee So-hee, ignoring Yong-yong’s words, which he said were friends and I couldn’t tell whether he was on my side or on someone else’s side.

Although their faces did not resemble each other, I felt that their talents were similar and had been honed well.

Well, I still don’t feel good about showing my father being upset in front of his daughter.

Next time, I’ll have to beat it until it’s not noticeable on the outside.

[Wow…]

I was watching the relationship between father and daughter while listening to Yongyong’s admiration, but I stopped when I saw Sohee Lee turning her head towards me.

They say they are my fans, but I wonder if they think badly of me for beating up their father.

However, seeing Lee So-hee’s reaction made me realize that even that can be a trivial thing in front of fans.

“Junho! “I’m a fan!”

“Ah yes. thank you.”

“You’re really cool. And even the way he suppresses the villains without forgiving them. While watching Junho, I developed the dream of becoming an awakened person. “I bought all of Junho’s goods from each series at home!”

“….”

Should I say thank you for this? I couldn’t think of how to answer.

But I didn’t hate the fact that they saw my actions and supported me.

However, I couldn’t get used to the idea of calling myself such a passionate fan.

I’m embarrassed.

Either way, Sohee Lee continued speaking with sparkling eyes.

“For me, what Junho said, ‘If I get caught, I go.’ has become my life goal. When I grow up, I will become a great awakened person like Junho. Please show us your best side in the future. “It’s really great to see you like this!”

Above all, I have never been with someone who showed me such unconditional favor.

It’s a relationship where both people want something and satisfy it, but it’s a bit embarrassing because they only get it unilaterally.

[What’s there to be embarrassed about? Just give me fan service.]

Looking at the excited Yongyong next to me, I told Lee Sohee to wait and see.

“Is there anything you want?”

“Please take a picture!”

That’s how I got to do fan service for the first time in my life, taking pictures with Sohee Lee dozens of times and signing autographs.

I only heard about Jin Se-jeong, but there was someone who could call me a real fan.

I asked out of curiosity, and Sohee Lee said excitedly.

“All the kids that train with me are Junho’s fans! “If I show you the picture, they’ll probably die of envy.”

“okay.”

“Can you take a picture with the kids next time?”

“That’s….”

[What should I do, I have to manage my fans.]

I didn’t readily come up with an answer to do that, but I remembered Yongyong’s encouragement and Jin Sejeong’s request.

I guess this is the fate of stars with passionate fans.

When should I have acted like a star?

“…All right.”

“and! thank you Really great! We will fight off all the people who criticize Junho on the Internet! Last time, some idol fans attacked me with ridiculous things. They said they would do a better job of cracking down on their own celebrities, but they attacked me out of envy….” Small talk is more powerful than most mental gift attacks

. did.

It felt easier to deal with the villain.

“Please kill a lot of bad guys from now on!”

“Of course.”

“Now take a picture!”

Did you just take that many pictures?

Anyway, I had to take an additional commemorative photo with Sohee Lee.

Berserker, who had suddenly recovered and was taking pictures with Lee So-hee’s smartphone, made eye contact with me, who had an awkward expression on his face, and burst out laughing.

“Tsk tsk tsk tsk!”

…We’ll see.
