The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity

Episode 140

The Chinese ambassador stumbled back.

As we were the only ones left, I had to deal with the stinging gazes of the President and Cheon Myeong-guk.

Is it because they killed the standing committee member?

In any case, it was strange that the killing of a superhuman was overlooked and the standing committee members were frowning.

“Is that true?”

“It is true that you killed the standing committee member.”

“…!”

The President and Cheon Myeong-guk’s mouths dropped open. Is it that surprising that a standing committee member was killed? I just killed someone who was supposed to kill me.

“Why on earth…”

“He was the one who instigated the Mt. Baekdu incident.”

He explained his plan to use Mt. Baekdu as a base to occupy Hamheung and attack Yanggang Province, South Hamgyong Province, and North Hamgyong Province.

When it was said that he had intentionally caused chaos in Pyongyang, an expression of anger appeared on the president’s face.

“That’s a good thing. “If I didn’t know the details, I would have misunderstood.”

“Yes?”

“To be honest, I was just surprised and I think I did well. The standing committee member you killed must have belonged to the main faction that is trying to devour North Korea. “Only when the main radio waves disappear will we be able to buy time and secure more of North Korea.”

Not all standing committee members are hardliners.

The president said he is in contact with the doves through diplomacy and is working to maintain smooth relations.

No matter how bad the feelings may be, China is a neighboring country and has a large market. As long as the country is connected by land, there are many benefits for South Korea to take from China, which is lacking superhuman power.

The president believes that China has already lost the power to deploy actual force against North Korea.

Cheon Myeong-guk also seemed to agree with this.

“The problem is, I am convinced that the person who killed the standing committee member over there is Superhuman.”

I shrugged my shoulders at Cheon Myeong-guk’s point.

Well, I guess I’m the only one who would do something like that.

But there is an invincible shield.

“There is no evidence.”

I didn’t want to be identified, so I didn’t smash the head, but only the heart.

If you want to point the finger at me, bring at least some solid evidence.

“….”

The President and Cheon Myeong-guk met each other’s eyes and shook their heads. When I look at that, I feel like I’m the one causing trouble.

Isn’t it okay if there is no evidence?

Is it really necessary to establish an alibi?

This makes Yongyong’s spatial movement even more desirable. Should I go to Mt. Baekdu again and ask to touch my heart?

Well, anyway, you just have to come up with the most reliable method.

“You can keep it a secret.”

“Revealing this elsewhere is itself a problem.”

“I have no intention of revealing it either.”

The President and Cheon Myung-guk were cooperative. No, this is a situation where there is no choice but to keep it a secret.

Well, who should I tell that I killed the standing committee member? Even if you say it, I just ignore it and that’s it.

Your heart can break while you sleep.

Suddenly the President spoke to me.

“If there is anything I have done that makes you upset, please let me know at any time.”

“Suddenly?”

“After looking at the standing committee, I felt like I had to say this.”

“There are a few things that make me sad. “Can I tell you now?”

“…!”

I was joking, but the president’s reaction was dramatic.

Hmm, I don’t know how my image was formed.

“Of course it’s a joke. “Why are you so surprised?”

“is it? Thank goodness. It felt like my heart was sinking. “If you want to kill someone by giving them a heart attack, you can joke like you did now.”

“I am satisfied because they are so considerate. “If something happens, I’ll tell you right away.”

“If you let emotions build up, they can change for the worse. “To avoid that, let’s talk often.”

“yes.”

Is it my illusion that I feel somehow clingy? Thanks to killing the standing committee member, treatment has improved in another way.

If we eliminate higher-ranking people, will we be treated better?

I wanted to ask, but I held back because I was afraid the President would have a heart attack.

Instead, I brought up something else.

“And I have something to tell you about Berserker.”

“Ah, Berserker. “What’s the story?”

“So…”

I started explaining how to use Berserker in the future.

* * *

“….”

Choi Jun-ho left and the office fell silent for a moment.

Cheon Myeong-guk spoke in an attempt to lighten the mood.

“Choi Jun-ho’s superhuman ideas are always surprising.”

He was talking about the use of Berserker, but the president said something else.

“To be honest, I wasn’t surprised to hear that you killed the standing committee member.”

“yes? Ahhh!”

“If it’s Choi Jun-ho, he’ll assassinate the U.S. president and remain.”

“…If I get it wrong, I guess that’s okay.”

“That’s the really scary thing. “Because there are no limits when it comes to terrible things.”

That’s what I said, but the shock wasn’t that great.

If you are a standing committee member, you are in the top 10 in China. It is a position where he exerts more power than most heads of state.

Even such a person could not escape Choi Jun-ho’s hand.

In the first place, would there be anyone who could avoid Choi Jun-ho’s hands if he wanted to?

Plus the existence of Shinsoo.

Choi Jun-ho used some tricks and succeeded in roasting and boiling Shinsu. What if a relationship of giving and receiving is formed so that the power of the divine beast can be used as one’s will?

A tremendous, uncontrollable disaster will strike the world.

Perhaps the world is more exposed to the threat of Choi Jun-ho than the league?

“The more times like this, the more humble I have to be. When you have power, you can be mistaken. How dare a superhuman target a politician? “That authoritarian attitude gave birth to the monster called the League.”

The president judged calmly.

Although he was chosen by the people and granted temporary power, superhumans can maintain power for life as long as they maintain their natural strength.

“The same goes for the Berserker problem. “If you try to make it a problem, it won’t be one by one.”

“That’s right.”

“How will they react?”

“I think it will show concern.”

“okay.”

The Berserker relief plan revealed by Choi Jun-ho had many things that made no sense from a common sense perspective.

First of all, Berserker is the villain who killed the superhuman Kim Young-hwan. To wash away this by improving the public image meant to turn all those who followed Kim Young-hwan into enemies.

Of course, it was a very possible measure in an era where a superhuman was rare.

The problem is next.

Choi Jun-ho wanted to keep Berserkers employed by individuals rather than nationally recognized superhumans.

The intention was to prevent controversy as much as possible and control Berserker himself.

The intention is understandable. But will people who tremble at Choi Jun-ho really evaluate him favorably after seeing him have a Berserker under his command?

“If two superhumans come together and exert influence, the entire Republic of Korea will fall within their sphere of influence. “Maybe we can be influenced by the will of Superhuman Choi Jun-ho.”

“I was worried about that too. But right now we don’t have a way. And is it possible for a superhuman to be under the command of another superhuman like this?”

“There are cases in several countries, but they are all loose associations. “There is no case where you can control someone like Choi Jun-ho.”

“I guess so. “Because there is such a thing as superhuman pride.”

That pride was not easy to buy with money or respect.

So, a completely unexpected problem arose.

The biggest problem is that there is no way to stop it.

“Let’s watch first. Improving Berserker’s image won’t be easy. “If a problem arises, we can mediate and try to induce them to belong to the state.”

“yes. But even Superhuman Choi Jun-ho must have made some preparations.”

“Should I hope it fails?”

“That’s the best for now.”

The President and Cheon Myeong-guk laughed bitterly.

* * *

I thought it was a pretty difficult proposal, but it was accepted more easily than expected.

From the beginning, when I brought Berserker in, I planned to keep him under me.

However, after thinking about it carefully, I thought it would be better to hire them as individuals rather than have them be part of the government. Even if they can improve their image through various channels and come within the scope of the law, Berserker’s past is still shadowy.

Unless you regress like me and erase all your past, the story will come out. If that’s the case, it’s better to put it within a radius that I can cover.

“The current position is not as bad as I thought.”

Even though I am a superhuman belonging to the country, I think I act pretty much on my own terms.

The reason I am allowed to do that is because I think I am devoted to the citizens.

In fact, unless I’m greedy for money or power like other people, it’s acceptable to trample on people who bother me.

It just so happened that vested interests were choosing to do things that went against my wishes.

Of course, ordinary citizens who do not belong to that area support me.

It is beneficial to me to build on this support. The more I do this, the wider the radius I can move around and the more freedom I am granted.

It was when I returned home, got ready, and headed to the office. Sitting inside was a middle-aged man who seemed both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.

It was Berserker.

However, his appearance had changed drastically. He cut his messy hair neatly and shaved his beard neatly. And as he wore a suit that showed off his muscular body, he gave off the image of a well-trained academy department chair.

What an image of a crazy person as being intelligent. If you fall for it, I think the world will end.

“Are you Berserker?”

“…You’re here. “Welcome.”

I think this is the first time a Berserker has welcomed me like this.

Just by looking at him, he was tormented by Jin Se-jeong.

I felt that way when I first saw Jin Se-jeong. No, I might have been worse.

The shock and fear I felt when he suggested the idol worldview to me was still vivid.

“ah! “Has Choin come?”

Unlike Berserker, who was exhausted, Jin Se-jeong’s face was shiny.

That’s the expression on your face when you’re having fun.

How do you know? That was exactly the look on his face when he left a hateful comment.

Well then, it’s not my job. I turned away from Berserker’s eyes asking for salvation and spoke to Jin Se-jeong.

“Are you wearing Berserker styling?”

“yes! “It suits you well, right?”

“I feel like an academy professor.”

“I styled it properly. that’s right. I think I can capture both wild charm and intellectual charm at the same time. In particular, Berserker has a profound charm, so I think he will be able to form a fan base that does not overlap with Choin. What’s so great about this is that both fandoms can create a synergy effect without conflicting with the existing fan base of Choin…”

Yes, if Jin Se-jeong is like that, then that’s the case.

In fact, Berserker protested to me with a helpless expression.

“…Why didn’t you tell me it was like this?”

“Did you think washing your image would be easy then? Of course, you have to do everything you can.”

“….”

“And I should be grateful for your consideration, so why are you complaining?”

“After all, you are the only one who knows me like this.”

Unlike Jin Se-jeong, who was thrilled, Berserker’s expression became rotten. I can’t be the only one suffering from this good thing. Basically, sharing good things doubles the joy.

“The problem here is deciding what kind of content should be set to improve Berserker’s image.”

“What are you thinking about?”

“First of all, volunteer content or talent donation that has completely changed the image is common, but it feels flat. “Isn’t there something groundbreaking?”

“….”

The Berserker guy also looked shaken. Neither of them are to his taste. Although it is necessary to improve one’s image, it is not a good idea to keep doing something you don’t want to do.

Then, you should try to improve your image with something he likes, but what is there?

…As expected, nothing comes to mind when I think like this.

Instead, I remembered something Jin Se-jeong said.

“What about Operation Sympathy?”

“It’s the best way! However, if sympathy is forced, the side effects are severe…”

“It is not forced. “It’s 100% pure and sincere.”

“Is there such a thing?”

A question mark appeared above Jin Se-jeong’s head.

Well, the awakened world is different from the idol world where Jin Se-jeong was.

I revealed what I was thinking.

“This is content where Berserker spars with me.”

“…!”

“I’m sorry, Choin. “I don’t know why that evokes sympathy.”

“Because you’ll keep getting beaten up.”

It is literally sparring content where blood and flesh splatter. Berserker will fight back hard, but getting beaten up by me becomes the main content.

Many viewers may have an antipathy toward Berserker. But what happens if he gets hit by me again and again?

“You may feel sorry for him, but then Berserker will be seriously injured…”

“That guy is strong. You don’t have to worry. Are you fine?”

“Are you sure you’re okay?”

“….”

Berserker doesn’t manage his facial expression.

He was openly showing his dissatisfaction with a shit-chewing expression, so I warned him in Hyegwangsim language.

[Why don’t you answer quickly? If you spar with me, your skills will improve quickly and your image will also improve, which is good. Are you really trying to brag about me getting some styling? Is it properly attached in a place where you can’t see it? For your information, the sparring will be twice as long and twice as long in a place that cannot be seen.]

“…I will do it.”

In the end, I said I would accept it, but I refused.

Jin Se-jeong’s expression brightened, not knowing the inside story.

“thank god. “Are you alright, Mr. Berserker?”

“It’s pretty good.”

“Then, I will try to structure it so that I can struggle as much as possible. “That way, the pity will be maximized!”

“Is that even possible?”

I thought I could just beat it up.

“yes! There are many celebrities who get involved in accidents, right? It’s a piece of cake to figure out how to make someone look pitiful. “I will describe Berserker, who is attacked by a superhuman, in the most pitiful way in the world.”

As expected, I trust and use Jjinsejeong. I have never once doubted its abilities.

* * *

It’s crazy. This place is going crazy.

Berserker felt himself becoming infinitely shabby between the two madnesses.

He is a villain who was once feared for being crazy.

So his nickname was also Berserker.

But in reality, he was nothing.

Choi Jun-ho, who plans and threatens a blood-splattered sparring to create pity, or Jin Se-jeong, who comes up with a way to maximize it.

Both are crazy.

“…You crazy bitches.”

Berserker seriously felt the urge to repurchase the camping car.
