The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity

Episode 121

The United States certainly seems to be on a different scale.

I see you are thinking of shooting a nuclear weapon to kill me.

No, maybe I was complacent for not thinking about this.

I reflect.

This determination to use nuclear weapons to kill a villain should be imitated, but they dismiss it as being necessary.

As I returned to the past and became normal, I also became a lot softer.

Since the other person is so sincere, I also need to be more harsh.

“Keep researching.”

“What what?”

“The research that will kill me.”

“….”

Who is this little guy looking at like he’s crazy?

When I raise my hand, my eyes reflexively relax.

“They’re going to keep investigating me anyway. As that information accumulates, response methods will also be updated. “Please share that with me.”

“Why that?”

He looks at me like I’m crazy again.

Should I stop holding back and hit him?

“I’m just curious. “How will you try to kill me?”

Even if I do that, I won’t actually die.

This was more like just a hobby of mine. Something I also want to be more stimulated by.

In any case, as long as there was a full recovery, it was as if I had an extra life.

“I’m not asking for it for free.”

Actually, I was thinking of getting it for free. As I was thinking about something else, I decided to change the proposal.

I took out the boost I stole from my chest after killing Zhang Wuyuan.

James Reed, who did not know its identity at first, widened his eyes when he heard the word “boost” in the league.

“How does Junho have that?”

“Don’t even ask for the source.”

Is there no way I can say that I invaded the Taiping Gate, wiped out everything, killed Nam Gung-gi, who happened to be visiting, blamed him for the crime, and then took the ship and returned?

Looking at James Reed’s expression, I realized he wasn’t curious about that.

His body was shaking as if he was going to attack him at any moment.

He couldn’t come closer because of the pain from being beaten by me.

I waved the boost like I was waving a carrot to a horse.

“If you help me, I’ll let you research this too.”

“Joo Jun-ho! trust me! “You’ve been acting like a beggar until now!”

They held hands for a moment because their interests were aligned, but they subtly added words, pretending to have built up trust.

James Reed said the league’s boost was something the U.S. couldn’t secure.

The boost that allows level 7 awakened people to demonstrate power equivalent to that of a superhuman is said to be the dream of mass production of superhumans.

From what I can see, it is the result of a lot of effort.

Looking at the reaction, I knew it was a valuable item, so I should raise the price a little.

“See more.”

“I’m so disappointed.”

James Reed’s expression became glum.

Honestly, it felt like a waste to just hand it over. But the reason I made this decision was because this was something I couldn’t handle on my own.

There is no trustworthy research team under my command. When the time comes, I think it would be best to study with the Sacred Guild and share the results.

Will the National Science and Monster Research Institute be also involved?

The reason I’m inserting Jolaman here is because the United States is where the league clashes the most.

For example, ‘From now on, kill each other.’ This feeling?

If I hand over something like this for free, they will continue to show greed, so I plan to push and pull them too.

In addition, we also obtain the necessary information.

“If you want to get it quickly, give me information about Ryu Gwang-cheol.”

There is also a way to find it by going north and killing monsters one by one, but there is no need to rush in so ignorantly since you are a superhuman belonging to the country.

“Ryu Gwang-cheol? “Who is that?”

“A superman in the north. Do you want to keep scolding me even though you know? Shall we chat one more time?”

This guy’s decisive mistake was that he took it upon himself to be a trickster to sneak information out of me.

If that happens, will my PhD from Stanford disappear? Even if you get a certificate saying you’re smart and pretend to be innocent, it won’t work.

“….”

The guy who closed his mouth rolled his eyes and sighed, unable to take his eyes off me.

“You sound scary when you say that. “Say it gently.”

“So are you going to do it or not?”

“I will. But it takes some time.”

“Time doesn’t matter.”

As all the escape routes were blocked, he sighed repeatedly and said he understood.

We’ll just have to wait for information to arrive from America. In the past, I would have rushed forward blindly, but I smiled happily at the thought that things had changed for the better.

“You damn mafia.”

“Are you going to keep murmuring?”

If you say mafia one more time, just play Russian roulette.

Low probability?

In my opinion, Russian roulette is played with a full complement of bullets.

* * *

It didn’t take long for James Reed’s request to reach the United States.

Vice President Daniel Logan, who is in charge of handling superhuman-related issues, smiled after reading the first part.

“Following Penta and Boost. Macho Man is digging for gold.”

However, as he went down the content of the request, his expression hardened.

This is because there is a request that you cannot help but worry about.

“Information about the Tamer.”

Tamer refers to Ryu Gwang-cheol in North Korea. He is a superman who is closely watched even in China, and he is a person who is able to pick apart the details between the United States, China, Japan, and Korea.

I tried to appease him several times, but after confirming that he had no intention of joining, I kept my distance.

Ryu Gwang-cheol, who established his own kingdom, was also a burdensome person to interact with.

Perhaps it is wise for Choi Jun-ho to find out now.

“Do I have no choice but to give up?”

I still wanted the ability to control monsters. I was wondering if I could trap it in some other way, but since Choi Jun-ho smelled it directly, there was no way to control it directly.

However, even if Tamer was important, it was nothing compared to Choi Jun-ho.

Although the word ‘world’s strongest’ still doesn’t seem appropriate, the achievements he achieved in a short period of time made the leaders of each country recognize him as the strongest.

How dare you tell the authorities to refrain from confronting Choi Jun-ho?

There was no evidence for the recent extinction of the Taiping Gate, but I was 100% convinced that it was Choi Jun-ho.

It was similar to the erasure period.

“If you can’t have it, you need to give it away in a big way.”

The Vice President raised his head to the sticky voice oozing with lust. Anna Christine was standing there, showing off her explosive volume even though she was wearing a two-piece black suit.

It’s only for a moment, but I feel like all my worries are washed away.

The Vice President smiled from ear to ear.

“Welcome. You have become more beautiful over the years.”

“I focused on management.”

And as I got closer, I could smell the dizzying scent of a femme fatale. If it had been any other man than him, I would have rolled my eyes. But she is a rose with not only thorns but also poison.

Once caught, you have to think about having your soul sucked out.

I think this name suits tarantula rather than succubus.

“Please sit down.”

The Vice President offered a seat.

When Anna Christine sat down and crossed her legs, her skirt rolled up, exposing her white thighs.

“This is a story about Choi Jun-ho, right?”

“To be exact, it’s Macho Man’s request. “Headbreaker needs information from Tamer.”

“North Korea was a difficult place for us to reach anyway. “Now that James is building a relationship, why not show his trust by delivering exciting information?”

“Not bad.”

It is not a time like in the past when we were busy thinking that the world was small. With the appearance of monsters, the area has been greatly reduced, and as the level of awakened people increases, the monsters are also becoming stronger.

As possessing strong superhumans is said to be a national power, the United States is preparing for and making efforts to attract superhumans called Headbreakers.

There were those who opposed it, but none of them doubted Choi Jun-ho’s power.

“For that, Ms. Christine’s role is important.”

“Of course. I also strengthened my resolve. “I’m not the person I used to be.”

As the years changed, Anna Christine’s age changed from 2 to 3.

Although Choi Jun-ho’s attack on his age took a huge psychological blow, he returned to the United States, controlled his mind, and faced reality.

And I established one absolute proposition.

Age is inevitable, but it is possible to turn back time with beauty.

Anna Christine thought it was time to confront the passage of time and add maturity to her beauty. Because the two charms are a combination that can create synergy with each other.

In the meantime, I changed my makeup to increase my attractiveness, focused on strengthening my muscles, speaking, and correcting my body posture.

Anna Christine, who succeeded in regaining her self-esteem, was confident that her beauty was at its peak at this moment.

“Now I am confident that I can stick with Bellus.”

“Oh, that legendary agent.”

“Vice President, have you never seen Belus?”

“I could lose everything because of curiosity, so I held back even though I was curious.”

“You choose wisely. “Belus is really deadly.”

The League’s legendary beauty agent Belus is a possessor of absolute charm who can seduce men. There is a saying that if there is Belus in the shade, there is Anna Christine in the sun.

There were rumors that he appeared in Korea, but he stopped activities at some point.

Nevertheless, Bellus’ achievements were so great that he remained a legend.

“I believe it.”

“I’m confident.”

But Anna Christine’s voice was slightly trembling.

The existence of Choi Jun-ho, who caused him two failures, became a target at some point.

This reminds me of an article in the yellow press that was published sometime ago.

In Soybean Paste Stew vs. Anna Christine, she saw herself losing miserably to soybean paste stew.

Now is the time to avenge that humiliation.

There isn’t much time left.

“I’m going to make Choi Jun-ho lose his senses.”

Anna Christine declared with a confident expression.

* * *

The entire Republic of Korea was abuzz with talk about the North Korean invasion.

This was true not only for large conglomerate guilds but also for corporate guilds below them.

Securing new territory always comes with interests. There was no way this golden opportunity would be missed in a place that wanted to use this as a stepping stone for growth.

The same goes for Shinsung Group.

A general meeting was held today under the chairmanship of Lee Young-moon.

Lee Se-hee, who attended the gathering of the group’s executives, nodded.

As it is said that the best elites of the Republic of Korea are gathered, the necessity of the northward expansion policy is explained well.

The head of the Future Planning Department who is making the announcement now was like that.

“When the North Korean invasion is mentioned, the criticism that always comes up is the demand for recovery of the remaining land, but what South Korea needs now is plains where food can be grown.”

Food sovereignty is one of the basic conditions for not being influenced by foreign countries.

The government used Kaesong as a base for the northward advance, and the ultimate goal was to begin the northward advance from here and recover the Pyongyang Plain of Yeonbaek Jaeryeong.

This is the largest plain in North Korea, and once this is acquired, the foundation for the rapid growth of South Korea’s national power will be laid.

More food can support a larger population, which means freeing up human resources.

“In the past, I would have thought that taking over this place was an impossible fantasy. This is because the government itself is limited in the number of people it can mobilize, and the rate at which guilds respond to the proposal will not be high. But it’s different now.”

The head of the future planning office who was making a presentation glances at Lee Se-hee. It is a gaze with many meanings.

“Because there is Choi Jun-ho, a superhuman.”

Then all eyes gather at once. It contains the meaning of acceptance. The results that Lee Se-hee achieved through her good relationship with Choi Jun-ho were truly dazzling.

In particular, the global success of the Big Bang series was said to have increased Shinsung Group’s capabilities several times.

Lee Young-moon, who was quietly listening, agreed.

“It probably means that the government has gained confidence.”

“Yes, that’s right. “I believe that I actually have the capability to do it on my own.”

“Is it possible with just one superhuman?”

“He is the only superhuman who can single-handedly hunt plus level monsters, and his value is difficult to measure.”

“But we still have to measure it.”

“Yes, sorry. In fact, it can be seen as an absurd amount, so the planning office has decided that Choi Jun-ho’s ransom is at least 1 trillion won (10000000000000000).”

“….”

The conference room fell silent for a moment at the exorbitant amount.

Lee Se-hee also could not hide her surprise at the enormous value.

Rather, Lee Young-moon nodded without changing his expression.

“The key will be how we step in here.”

“The government will try to monopolize as much as possible. Otherwise…”

“They will only let you participate if you show your determination to actively step forward and shed blood together.”

Otherwise, I wouldn’t try to make any concessions.

The government wants to reduce the power of large guilds at all costs.

This is a golden opportunity for the government.

Lee Young-moon’s eyes turned to Lee Se-hee.

“What do team leaders think?”

“Of course we have to be proactive.”

“okay?”

“yes. It is common for the government to talk about advancing north, but this time the situation has changed a lot. Superhuman Choi Jun-ho is a person who has made the impossible possible at this point in time. “I like the government, but I would like to join Choi Jun-ho through his recommendation.”

“In big businesses, there are times when you can succeed ridiculously easily due to fate.”

Even if the government takes a hard line, the story will be different if Choi Jun-ho’s influence is reached.

“I will leave everything to you.”

“I will give my all and lead to success.”

“Can you take responsibility?”

“yes.”

When I spoke without being at all intimidated, the executives looked surprised. Rather, Lee Young-moon chuckled.

“Okay, I’ll leave everything related to advancing north to Team Leader Lee Se-hee. “It’s okay to put all our effort as a group.”

* * *

Zolaman said it would take quite some time to create an improved version of the Penta.

Since I don’t know when it will end, I can’t waste too much time, so I decided to do my homework.

This is to inform you of Cheon Myeong-guk’s gift.

I made a promise, so I have to keep it.

“….”

I still get mixed feelings every time I see Cheon Myeong-guk.

From my experience in my last life, I don’t really like Cheon Myung-guk. Because of the grand compromise he attempted, he had to live a life of chasing and was forced to choose to leave Korea.

However, in this life, I met and worked with Cheon Myeong-guk and got to know him.

The more capable people I have by my side, the better.

Jin Se-jeong exaggerated a little and said it was a blessing.

Just around me right now, there are Da-hyun Jeong, Se-hee Lee, Joo-ho Jeong, Myeong-guk Cheon, Se-jeong Cheon, and recently Jola Man was added, and even though he died, Jong-hyun Kim of Heartwalker was also a capable talent.

A stupid person gives rise to a murderous impulse, but a talented person makes things work out smoothly.

The reason I couldn’t stop Jin Se-jeong, who proudly revealed that she was a malicious commenter in front of me, was because she was a talented person.

Because I trust Cheon Myeong-guk’s handling of things, I wanted him to become stronger.

How good. Being able to open a small hole near my heart and discover my inherent gift.

I thought that if I made an offer, they would gladly accept it.

But his reaction was different from what I thought.

“I can’t!”

“It’s not much. “It’s just one small hole.”

“I want to live a long life. I appreciate the offer, but I don’t think I can accept it. sorry.”

After saying that, he leaves the place.

Hmm, is the method of finding out the gift that shocking?

Are you turning down this good thing?

Maybe that’s why I wanted to do it even more.

It’s not because I want to see your suffering face.

The President, who was watching from the side, added a word.

“I didn’t know it was such a drastic method.”

“Does it seem extreme?”

“They said they were going to drill a hole near the heart, so that reaction was natural.”

“okay.”

All you have to do is insert your finger into the area around your heart.

If you quickly spray the recovery agent, you will only feel stiff pain for about two days.

There’s nothing to think about. Just think of it as a laparoscopic surgery without anesthesia.

How do you coax this out? Come to think of it, I thought you said you went out late? It’s time for the newlywed sweetness to run out.

Suddenly, I think of a way to persuade him.

Just attack the fact that he is a married man.

Coincidentally, there is a self-proclaimed married psychology master around me.

“There is a way.”

“There is?”

“yes.”

There is a married man around me who will give me advice with passion and sincerity.

If I explain the whole story, he will help me better than anyone else.

The married man’s identity was Berserker.

Me – What is the favorite thing about married men?

As soon as I sent the message, the number disappeared and Berserker’s lecture on the psychology of married men began.

* * *

“….”

Heading home, Cheon Myeong-guk felt his heart pounding.

I never thought they would really try to puncture my heart.

Cheon Myeong-guk had a vague idea about Choi Jun-ho’s gift.

I don’t know if it’s stealing or copying the other person’s gift, but I can take it. With that, you will be able to hold multiple gifts.

The gift he possesses must have originally belonged to its owner.

It was still an unsolved mystery as to how Choi Jun-ho, whose past was as white as a blank page before becoming an awakener, possessed such a gift.

“I’m sure if the number increases, it will cause an explosion, but it’s okay.”

Usually, discrepancies occur even if you only have dual gifts.

It was hard to imagine how big Choi Jun-ho’s vessel was when he accepted the gift.

No, I’m just going crazy because the number of gifts has already increased.

I saw an opportunity and thought I should give some advice.

“Anyway, it would be better to give up.”

The gift is something Cheon Myeong-guk has been wishing for for a long time. However, the gift relationship did not last long.

When I think about it now, it was really disappointing.

I gave up thinking it wasn’t meant to be, but I was happy to hear that the path was open.

But I never thought it would be like this.

When Cheon Myeong-guk arrived home, he opened the door and went inside.

“I’m here.”

“dad!”

My daughter, who wouldn’t hurt even if I put her in my eyes, was held in my arms.

4 years old this year.

It was the comfort and light of Cheon Myeong-guk, who was suffering from extreme stress.

Cheon Myeong-guk, who had been chatting with his daughter for a while, saw an unfamiliar toy in her hand.

“Yes my daughter. “What is that?”

“My handsome uncle over there bought it for me!”

“…!”

Cheon Myeong-guk, who turned his head inadvertently, was startled when he saw Choi Jun-ho raise his hand.

Why is that devil bastard here?

Did you really come here to encourage me to search for gifts?

“Jiya is in.”

“Ugh, can’t I go in? “I want to play with my handsome uncle…”

Has it already gone beyond my daughter?

The alertness in Cheon Myeong-guk’s mind rose several levels higher.

“What brought you here?”

“You left after not listening properly. “I’m here to persuade you.”

“…I have no intention of doing it unless it is a properly proven method.”

I’m sure they’ve never used such a crazy method before.

But the world is big and there are a lot of crazy people.

“It’s a proven method, right? With this, Berserker has opened his gift, and my brother is also preparing to open his gift.”

“yes? Did Berserker even open gifts?”

“Oh, you didn’t know. “We opened it up to something good.”

“….”

I muttered that I had fun thanks to him, but it wasn’t heard.

There was an urgent need to reevaluate Berserker.

by the way.

Would it have been a good way to do it for Berserker and his younger brother?

Choi Jun-ho holds his daughter, who is tangled up.

Daughter, not yet. As the feeling of betrayal spread through my heart, Choi Jun-ho’s voice pierced my ears.

“I understand that you have concerns. “It’s not an ordinary method.”

“Why are you doing me this favor?”

“It’s simple. Director Cheon is a great help to me. “I plan to help people around me improve their capabilities in order to feel more comfortable.”

“….”

My heart itched. It’s not like it’s going to break through soon. I said it because I was very touched that this crazy guy at least thought about me.

For a moment, I thought about giving it a try. But I still hesitated.

“To be honest, it is true that I am attracted to it.”

“It is better to accept favors as favors. And there is one more benefit.”

“Benefits?”

It was then.

Choi Jun-ho once again conveyed his thoughts in an unusual way.

[I told my wife that Director Cheon was at an important time and that I needed time to focus on my own. He said that it was an important time for my husband and that he would take the child to his parents’ house.]

“…!”

Cheon Myeong-guk’s eyes widened to tears.

What did you just hear?

Of course, it’s only two days. But it was clear that it was a precious time. In two days, you can drink alone at home for the first time in a long time, relax to your heart’s content and roll around in bed, and there’s no one to nag you if you play overdue games!

It didn’t even occur to me that there was anything strange about the will being transmitted in my head.

But that wasn’t the end. The gift bundle prepared by Choi Jun-ho was much bigger than expected.

[I told my wife that Director Cheon would be needed for one month. It’s unfortunate that I won’t be able to see my daughter for a month, but wouldn’t this be enough personal time?]

Ha, a month?

Of course, it’s a pity that I can’t see my daughter.

But one month is just one month.

In this amount of time, you can play not just one game, but if you use it wisely, you can play several games and see the ending.

I can meet friends from my hometown for the first time in a long time and go on a hotel vacation, which was my hobby when I was a bachelor.

Choi Jun-ho is the devil.

One month of free time is too much personal time to refuse.

Who are you? Who has read through the psychology of this ordinary married man and laid a double-triple trap?

I knew it was all a device to catch myself, but I ended up giving in to the devil’s temptation.

“…I will do it. Please let me do it.”

“Let’s find the best gift.”

The devil laughed before my eyes.
