Chapter 136
Episode 136:
Andrew Hwang, Ambassador to East Asia for the World Association of Psychics.
He was a rare person of Asian descent who was on the road to success in the United States and was a person who knew no failure. I have become adept at closely understanding the target of persuasion, digging into what I want, and achieving the intended results.
The trust of the superiors is strong and gives them confidence. As such, I had strong confidence and confidence in the success of this mission.
Of course, the targets he has to deal with are not easy.
He is a superhuman with an eerie nickname, ‘Head Breaker’. Everyone who had looked down on him until now was cruelly destroyed. However, there was a reason for Andrew Hwang to be confident.
‘No matter how good you are, things change when you reach a high position.’
When there is nothing, only evil remains, and when there is something to protect, it is a different law.
Headbreaker Choi Jun-ho is recognized as Korea’s greatest power and strongest superman.
There have been a lot of changes compared to just a year ago. One year is a short time, but it was enough to change one person’s thoughts.
If he wants to gain more honor and power, the newly created level 9 will be a temptation he cannot refuse.
‘And people are changing.’
In the beginning, Choi Jun-ho was a maverick who lacked social skills.
However, as time passed, he gradually changed into a person who was able to adapt to society and compromise. Many people tried to lure him with money but failed.
The reason is simple.
What Choi Jun-ho wants is social recognition, not money.
He cares about his family and wants to be evaluated favorably for his methods, focusing on results rather than process through extreme measures.
‘It’s a natural phenomenon when you gain power.’
The creation of Level 9 is a means of satisfying that desire.
A stage that means becoming a superman among superhumans.
It’s enough to satisfy Choi Jun-ho’s ambitions.
If you create a situation where you have no choice but to accept it, the probability will rise to 100%.
That was the situation that created it.
but.
“I don’t like it.”
“….”
In one short word, everything collapsed.
Andrew Huang asked again whether what he heard was true.
“So what you just said…”
“I said I had no intention of becoming level 9.”
why? Didn’t Choi Jun-ho have a desire to be recognized?
Level 9 was the best way to fill that need.
Where is that?
You can step into the world’s best inner circle right away.
It meant that one word could have a powerful influence on the world.
Andrew Hwang decided that it was because Choi Jun-ho was still young and continued to persuade him.
“Superman level 9 will be a new milestone to save the world.”
“What will change when I reach level 9?”
“In that way, it can become a new goal for the awakened people, the personal honor of the superhuman can increase, and the people watching can feel proud…” “Does
that mean the villain will respect himself and the monsters will stop invading?”
“….”
I was speechless.
If you want to play with words, you could go further. But the moment I made eye contact with Choi Jun-ho, those thoughts disappeared.
He had judged wrongly.
What Headbreaker wanted was not recognition.
It was a practical benefit that existed within one’s own standards. So what on earth have you been pursuing so far? What is your attitude toward seeking recognition? How did you dress up like an actor? What followed the cider code that the public wanted?
As my confidence collapsed, my mind became confused and my thoughts became tangled.
I wanted to ask what he was thinking, but I quickly swallowed it.
It felt like my neck would be twisted if I opened my mouth arbitrarily.
“What I hate most is forcing something on others, claiming it is a noble cause or a cause whose substance is unclear. “If it’s that good, you should show it to me first.”
Choi Jun-ho, who planted the wedge, looked at the camera.
“Bringing it forward does not mean that the villains and monsters that cause immediate inconvenience will decrease. It would be more helpful to arrest villains and hunt monsters while talking about that. “The safety of those around me is more important than the peace of billions of people.”
“….”
It feels like the worthless contents inside the flashy packaging have been revealed.
Although his words were harsh, Choi Jun-ho clearly understood the inside story of creating a new level 9 and trying to attract him.
“Before you talk about world peace, please protect your own home first.”
Andrew Huang, seeing the irreconcilable difference of opinion, bowed his head.
* * *
The chat window was already in an uproar when Choi Jun-ho received Andrew Hwang’s proposal. And the moment I rejected it without even thinking about it, the chat window was so excited that it felt like it was going to explode.
-trot! Choi Jun-ho Level 9 Rejection ㄷㄷㄷ
-Wow! I never thought I would reject this. What on earth are you thinking?
-Isn’t level 9 the aspiration of the highest level superhumans, including teenage superhumans?
-You’re kicking the superhumans from their place as superhumans.
-Choi Jun-ho is at the top of the superhumans, but doesn’t he want to be treated differently from others?
-I know. The difference in the level of superhumans has been talked about for a long time. They said the new level 9 would break it down, but they refused. ㄷㄷㄷ
– Since Choi Jun-ho has refused, if a new level 9 is established without Choi Jun-ho, the legitimacy will collapse.
-Choi Jun-ho’s comment! “Safety around me comes first!”
-It’s a joke ㄷㄷ
-Choi Coca-Cola exposes the true face of the United States and the Superpower Alliance!
-What Choi Jun-ho said is correct. It’s an unrefined word, but if we focus on it for a great cause or something, we won’t benefit from it.
-Was there something hidden behind it? ㄷㄷㄷ
-Isn’t it obvious? You have been given global recognition and fame, but is it free? As we advance north, we who enter the realm of monsters are the only ones who die. Haha
– With this, Choi Jun-ho’s line became clear, and the U.S. and the Superpower Alliance took a hit. What will happen next?
-Level 9 without Choi Jun-ho is a steamed bun without any sediment.
-Can they make it to level 9 and show off? The world’s strongest is level 8? Haha
– Look at the face of the Superpower Alliance Ambassador’s black and dead face. He was teasing me as if I had greased my tongue lol
– If I had gone any further, Choi Jun-ho would have broken my limbs, right?
-Is it true that you can be certified at max level just by returning safely in front of Choi Jun- ho?
Haha
– But there are almost no people who are safe in front of Choi Jun-ho.
Among the comments, there were some who understood the truth and others who were lost in illusions.
Choi Jun-ho’s words left a deep impact on them and brought them to a realization.
Level 9 ultimately has no substance.
Meanwhile, the Blue House was also watching this scene closely.
The establishment of Level 9 and whether Choi Jun-ho approves it.
Meanwhile, the role that the Blue House could play was extremely limited.
The President, who watched the entire process on live television, sighed in relief when the results came out.
“The worst I was worried about didn’t happen.”
“This is the best outcome.”
“I didn’t put any pressure on myself while uncovering the true nature of Level 9. Even if you are disappointed, no one will criticize you. “I didn’t know you were this resourceful.”
“Is this also Team Leader Jin Se-jeong’s work?”
“no.”
The President shook his head.
“It must be Choi Jun-ho’s natural ability. “In fact, we have seen media response continue to grow since our first meeting.”
“That is correct.”
“Rawness itself is a process of adapting to the world. It may seem simple, but there is no story of a person with limited intelligence becoming a superhuman. “What did Director Cheon feel when he saw that?”
“I felt scared.”
“hmm.”
The president had the same thought.
However, I wondered if what Cheon Myeong-guk saw was the same as mine.
“Which one was it?”
“Choi Jun-ho’s super-human wording is at a level that would get him criticized for weeks if he said it was used by a politician.”
“It might be rough.”
“However, there are no criticisms just because Choi Jun-ho used it well. To be precise, it was allowed because it was Choi Jun-ho. “It is as if the public has shown its willingness to tolerate any harsh actions in the future.”
“I know what you mean.”
The president nodded and smiled bitterly.
Fortunately, what Cheon Myeong-guk felt was the same type of emotion as himself.
Normally, people would say that Choi Jun-ho should be put on a leash after seeing this interview, but Choi Jun-ho’s presence was too big for that to happen.
If Level 9 is established immediately, South Korea will have to consider a serious war of attrition to maintain the recently occupied North Korean territory.
If even one superhuman dies, we might have to vomit up the occupied area to prevent further damage.
Choi Jun-ho’s existence was the all-purpose key that solved all of this.
“If you can’t handle it, you have to please them. Fortunately, I’m not picky about that part. “Where there are fewer superhumans and more influence, there are a lot of serious things.”
In the Third World, there were places where national leaders were treated like subordinates by superhumans.
“That’s a good thing…”
“Don’t worry.”
“yes.”
It wasn’t a concern that would disappear with just a few words, but since it was the President’s words, I responded obediently.
It must be because of some kind of plan.
‘No, wait.’
Then, when I remembered what the president said, my thoughts changed completely.
I’m sure they don’t want to finish their term safely and hand it over to the next administration.
I thought there was a high probability of that happening, but Cheon Myeong-guk tried to deny it.
Oh, I guess not.
I shook my head to shake it off and then changed the topic.
“Commissioner Jeong Joo-ho has requested the help of superhuman Choi Jun-ho.”
“what?”
“They say it’s related to China.”
“….”
Some of Ryu Gwang-cheol’s remnants fled to China.
It wouldn’t have been much of a problem if I had broken through and reached the path infested with monsters.
But they set foot in North Korea again.
With the awakened ones on the Chinese side.
When told that they were targeting territory by establishing a base near Mt. Baekdu, the President was lost in thought and then spoke.
“The road to Pyongyang hasn’t been properly developed yet, right?”
“yes.”
Currently, the large guild was clearing out the surrounding area based in Gaeseong.
Since only a small number of skilled elites could go to Pyongyang, it was not easy to send replacement personnel.
Chung Ju-ho, who governs Pyongyang, is given the authority to handle the situation on his own.
If he requested Choi Jun-ho, there must be a reason.
When it came to matters related to China, the President thought Choi Jun-ho was the right person.
“This incident is going to make a lot of noise, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to go somewhere else for a while. “Please convey the situation to Choi Jun-ho and let him make a decision.”
“yes.”
“And if the United States or the Supernatural Association wants to meet Superhuman Choi Jun-ho, we tell them that it is impossible because he is on a secret mission.”
“I will.”
That way, Cheon Myeong-guk relayed the situation to Choi Jun-ho and it was decided to go straight to Pyongyang.
The president’s prediction turned out to be exactly right.
A few hours later.
Maxim Guedes from the United States said he would personally visit Korea to persuade Choi Jun-ho, but he was rejected due to a secret mission.
* * *
The repercussions are bigger than you think.
I was just conveying my thoughts, but I guess other people had different thoughts.
How amazing is level 9?
“Others are ranked lower because they want to rise, but they treat it as if it’s nothing.”
Yunhee, who was listening next to me, said something.
To be honest, I wasn’t very impressed.
Anyway, the level 9 thing was just a play on words and a ploy to solidify their vested interests.
In the past, I would have destroyed the head first.
As I became normal, I felt like I had changed a lot.
Jin Se-jeong also praised me, saying that my intention was conveyed well.
Since they tried to select level 9 based on vague criteria in the first place, it is enough to instill doubt.
It felt strange to be praised by a hater, but I accepted it since it was a nice comment.
After that, I tried to participate in the work to improve Berserker’s image, but I was asked by the Blue House to go to Pyongyang.
It was Jeong Joo-ho’s request.
When I left Pyongyang, I felt like I had been entrusted with it, so I did not refuse and headed to Pyongyang.
The road to Pyongyang was easy after hunting hard all this time.
The scenery of New Pyongyang was quite different from before. The once dead city was alive with life, and people’s faces were bright.
As expected, Jung Joo-ho is someone I trust and write.
“Welcome.”
“How you doing?”
“Do you look like you’re doing well?”
“no.”
I saw Jung Joo-ho for the first time in a long time, and there were dark circles under his eyes.
“I’m dying.”
It was the capital of a country like no other. Since there are existing residents in the faction that followed Ryu Gwang-cheol, it must have been a lot of mental energy.
You must have been through a lot. The hair was noticeably thinner than before.
“You know everything, so stop looking.”
“ah.”
I guess the time I had my eyes fixed on him was quite long. I made a mistake. But the blank space above his head was increasing. This is evidence that there was a lot of stress.
“My wife is nice. “You can’t have an affair with this look on your face.”
“….”
Should I say sorry for not being able to protect this?
I felt sorry.
“Okay, let’s get to the point.”
The reason Jeong Ju-ho called me to Pyongyang was because of an awakened hideout discovered near Baekdu Mountain.
Ryu Gwang-cheol’s subordinates, who recently escaped, have joined here, but due to insufficient power and distance, they cannot dare to pursue them.
I felt puzzled.
“Is there any reason to punish those who ran away?”
“They are in contact with forces inside Pyongyang. “You are encouraging a rebellion.”
There are so many different things.
Joo-ho Jeong’s words did not stop there.
As they fled, they killed citizens who were witnesses and robbed them of their property.
As a result, internal public opinion is seething with anger, and the reason they invited me was to erase the possibility of rebellion with my presence, as they took over Pyongyang alone.
“and.”
Jung Joo-ho looked around and lowered his voice even though no one was there.
“The Chinese side’s power is mixed here.”
“iced coffee.”
So, those guys were able to do such a big thing.
Jeong Joo-ho said that the leader of those who ran away was Lee Ryong-hwa, and that the National Security Agency’s strength was at the core.
You say you want to pay for your sins and live a new life, but are you planning to live a new life differently?
Actually, if he was sentenced to death, he would have to stay in prison for the rest of his life, so he would have hated it.
Although he was quick-witted and had the ability to act, his fate was decided upon re-entry.
“What I want is to eliminate several of the leaders, including Lee Ryong-hwa. Then there will be no one to instigate a rebellion, so it will be easier to maintain public order.”
“Is that okay?”
“Oh, that’s fine.”
“All right.”
I understand what Jung Joo-ho wants. It’s very easy.
“Are there Lee Ryong-hwa’s subordinates in the prison?”
“Yes.”
“Then let me get some information.”
“…okay.”
After the conversation, we went out.
Since I’ve shown my face, I guess we can resolve it quickly before the other side prepares.
He went to the prison and used brainwashing on Lee Ryong-hwa’s subordinates to extract information.
They originally had no intention of setting foot in North Korea. Since there was no one to lean on, there was a high possibility that they were forcibly captured and re-entered.
Meanwhile, I also got some interesting information.
Although the information was fragmented, I thought the scale was bigger than I thought.
I guess the reason Jung Joo-ho called me was because he thought a diplomatic dispute would arise if we resolve things clumsily.
In times like this, it would be right to push them away with overwhelming force.
I told Yongyong, who had been watching the situation until then.
“You guide me to their hideout.”
[Why am I suddenly there?]
“If it’s near Baekdu Mountain, it’s your front yard, right? Are you really going to say you don’t know?”
[No, of course I know. But why should I cooperate?]
“Because I’m going to clean your front yard.”
[What cleaning? I asked you to clean up a few men who don’t have much hair.]
Yongyong is so naive.
What if I understand the conversation literally?
It was funny to say that I had accumulated wisdom over a long period of time.
[Because he has accumulated a level of wisdom that is different from that of a crazy person like you?]
He boasts that if you see him in person, you will tremble and bow your head in majesty.
Yes, it is of use to me.
That’s it, I told the guy who still didn’t understand.
“Commissioner Jeong knew everything and asked for it. “What about eliminating a few people?”
I know Jung Joo-ho well, and Jung Joo-ho knows me well. There’s no way you could just ask for that.
And from the time I eliminated Ryu Gwang-cheol, North Korea has been a place where I have been spitting on.
If you cross mine, I should warn you.
I decided to call this operation ‘Assassination’ because there would be no witnesses left.
“I will kill them all.”
