Chapter 161
Episode 161
Jang In-seong, who was making a rant, went outside and Black Hound spoke to Argos with a disapproving expression.
“You know, I can’t trust that guy.”
“What disturbed our Heinz mind?”
“He is a guy who only puts his greed ahead of him. They have no intention of joining our cause and are only interested in taking advantage of us. “If they think the value of their use has disappeared, they will leave us without any regrets.”
“I guess so.”
“Are you going to watch it even though you know that?”
Argos smiled.
It was a wrinkle-free smile that could never be hated.
Every time that happened, I remembered myself falling for him. It will be the same this time too.
“Brainwashing-type gifts are rare. Jang is a person who achieved success with that. More than anything.”
Argos said, looking at the black hound.
“This is an opportunity to eliminate Choi Jun-ho.”
“I can get rid of it.”
“I don’t want to lose you, Heinz.”
“….”
“I’m sorry if my pride was hurt. Still, I have to say it. Choi Jun-ho is a dangerous guy. If you collide head-on with that guy, one of you will definitely die. “I don’t want to include you, Heinz, in my quest to kill Choi Jun-ho.”
That’s what he said, but the black hound knew.
Argos thinks that if he and Choi Jun-ho fight, he will be the one who dies.
My pride was hurt because I couldn’t do it with confidence.
The strength that Choi Jun-ho showed was extraordinary. Choi Jun-ho was strong enough to think that he could only respond by using gifts.
Even though you decided to help Argos’ dream come true, you couldn’t do it. I felt helpless due to my own inadequacies.
“I get it. “I do as you say.”
“I thought you would understand. thank you.”
“There is no reason for me to be thanked because I am powerless.”
“Why are you doing that?”
“I need to try harder.”
“That goes for me too.”
The atmosphere calmed down.
Argos mentioned a guest who was planning to visit next to ventilate.
“Let’s welcome the next guest.”
After a while, the people who came inside were Roberto, a collector, and Heinrich, a member of the 12 zodiac signs.
The two looked at each other’s faces and created a strange atmosphere.
Roberto, from Italy, and Heinrich, from Germany, did not get along very well.
We have been rivals, friends, and comrades for a long time.
“Did you call Argos? But I didn’t know how to call this guy.”
“Me too. “You vulgar playboy.”
“Don’t you think I’m having more fun living than you, who is so stubborn?”
“Then there will be a hole in the back of your head.”
“at all. “You don’t have to worry.”
However, he did not cross the line until the end.
That relationship reminded him of himself and the Black Hound Hell Master.
Argos smiled and welcomed the two.
“Come on. “Because the two of you did a good job, there was no disruption to the grand scheme.”
“Is that brainwashing useful? “It’s scary, but if you say anything now, I could blow your head off.”
It was Roberto who brought Jang In-seong to the league headquarters. He had been active in East Asia, starting with contact with Zhang Wuyuan, and had returned to report.
“No, I’m trying to use it in another way.”
“I hope it’s useful.”
“Thank you for bringing me here, Roberto.”
“If that’s what you say, then there’s nothing we can do.”
“Have you contacted Yu Hao?”
“Yes, it is clear that feelings are not good with the Chinese government.”
“then?”
Argos’ face showed anticipation.
Although there is some controversy, Yu Hao is a superhuman who was among the top ten superhumans. If he joins, not only will an empty spot in the zodiac be filled, but he will also be able to immediately expand the influence of vulnerable East Asia.
Above all, it could deal a decisive blow to China, which currently lacks superhumans.
“Unfortunately, I declined. “They can’t trust us and they can’t believe our plan to project power into East Asia.”
“why?”
“Choi Junho.”
“Is that true?”
“But I don’t think it will take long because there is a lot of hostility with the government. “Everyone has a desire and needs time to decide to make it come true.”
“Is that the result of fortune telling?”
Roberto, a collector, was also a fortune teller who used astrological treasures.
“It’s either a great misfortune or a great fortune. “The results will come out soon.”
“good. “What’s the situation on the American side?”
Heinrich, who had been listening quietly, spoke.
“The party is in full swing. Maxim Geddes is rallying forces on the front line.”
“The Lion is a troublesome enemy.”
Black Hound came out.
“If you want, I will start removing it right away.”
“No, the loss is too great.”
The Lion Maxim Guedes. It possesses a gift called the Lion Wear Lion and demonstrates tremendous inaction through equivalent exchange.
Even though he entered his teenage years late, he was a powerful enemy who could not let down his guard.
“I don’t know what you gave away to make it so strong, but it will become weaker as time goes by. There is no power without a price. “Let’s watch.”
“…I get it.”
The black hound nodded with an expression of displeasure.
“No matter how urgent the situation is, it will not be easy for the party to come to the forefront. “Please be more careful, Heinrich.”
“i get it.”
“Then let’s take our time now.”
It was a congratulatory message. Roberto and Heinrich nodded and went outside.
“….”
Argos followed Heinrich for a long time even after he disappeared.

I watched the general election results with Chung Ju-ho in Pyongyang.
Compared to what I expected, the ruling party did not win overwhelmingly.
Although they won a majority of seats, it was a small achievement compared to the fact that they were going to win the constitutional amendment line and all.
“That is a big victory.”
“Is that so?”
“No matter how good you are, it doesn’t give power to one side. Even if you push them away, they will definitely hold you accountable. “That is also a healthy distribution of power.”
Am I weird? Jung Joo-ho seemed relieved to see the election results. Is it because the ruling party won, or is it because it was not as overwhelming as expected?
“For a public servant like me, it’s not good for one side to be dominant. “There’s a lot to get caught up in.”
“Even if I try to stay still?”
“Do people just leave you alone even if you stay still?”
“I see.”
I understood it right away.
When you see a few people go to the goal and still cling tenaciously, their obsession with power is scary.
In that respect, I felt like I really knew Joo-ho Jeong but didn’t know him.
Even though he refuses power, he fulfills the responsibility given to him.
Since people like this refuse to get caught up in political strife, we need to help them do that. I think the hair loss caused by the butterfly effect, the biggest problem in my life, has progressed more rapidly because of me.
“Now that you’ve seen the results of the general election, it’s okay, right? “Go now.”
“I’ll send you out right away?”
Isn’t there too much between us?
But Jung Joo-ho was merciless.
“If you’re there, things won’t go smoothly. There’s so much work to do already, so why would you want to tell the guy who does the work to stay longer? Go quickly. Hehehe.”
I think Shinsoo became colder after learning that he couldn’t overcome hair loss.
“I’ll get rid of some monsters on the way back.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Hmm, it seems like they’re insisting that I’ll hunt them down for some reason, but I’m sure they’re not mistaken, right?
* * *
On the way back to Seoul, I dealt with several monsters. One of them was at level 8, and there was one at level 7 and three at level 6.
I kept the hearts of level 8 and level 7, and the dog ate the level 6 heart. Eating something delicious seemed to whet their appetite, so we fed them the carcasses as well.
Yes, eat a lot, grow up well, and accept Dodam’s heart well. Finding suitable targets is also becoming cumbersome.
[Is it because I ate good food? You’ve gained a lot of chubby weight?]
“Do you think your durability will be good as well?”
[It will be good. The most important thing is that I follow you well.]
“That’s true.”
While going on vacation this time, I invested quite a bit in a dog. I just hope that the results of this investment do not turn into betrayal.
“I hope you’re not an ungrateful bastard.”
I was muttering while looking at the dog, and it must have sensed the signs, and instead of eating the monster, it rubbed itself against me.
Kiingkiing.
[Are you trying to be cute and ask me to take a good look at it?]
“No.”
I saw the leg of the dog rubbing its body. Normally there would have been a few strands of fur on it, but now it was covered in red blood. It is the corpse of a monster.
“I think you cleaned up the blood?”
[Oh, no way.]
When I looked at the dog to confirm the truth, I saw that it was engrossed in eating.
I have reasonable suspicions, but I feel frustrated because I can’t pursue them.
When I returned to Seoul with my dog, the general election fever had subsided.
The ruling party, which achieved a majority of seats, was congratulating itself, saying it was only half a success, while the opposition party seemed relieved, saying it had prevented the worst outcome.
Even listening to the political investigation now, I thought it was really twisted.
It doesn’t matter to me how politics plays out, as long as it doesn’t bother me.
However, as I entered the Blue House, the reporters who were waiting, who knew somehow, rushed at me like a swarm of bees.
“Superman Choi Jun-ho! What do you think about the results of this general election?”
“The ruling party calls it a success, while the opposition party calls it a failure!”
“The ruling party and the opposition party have indicated active cooperation with Mr. Choi Jun-ho! “I’m curious about your thoughts on this!”
It seems like they won’t let you pass unless you say a word.
How did you know I was coming today?
Sometimes, I thought that the information power of reporters was beyond imagination.
In the end, I decided I couldn’t just pass by, so I answered a few questions.
“I believe that the general election results are a product of the wise judgment of the citizens. It wouldn’t be right for me to argue here. And I think everyone knows better about someone’s success or failure. finally.”
I was very pleased to hear that they would cooperate with me regardless of whether they were from the ruling party or the opposition party.
In fact, it is better to treat it as an inanimate object, but it is better to cooperate with what is necessary without unnecessary checks.
“I believe that cooperation is essential to propose good legislation. I hope that members of the National Assembly will have a lot of experience in the field and propose bills that are appropriate for the current situation. If you don’t have field experience, you can gain it. “I am available to help at any time, so I look forward to your many requests.”
“….”
There was a moment of silence among the reporters. Did I say something wrong?
“Are you talking about unexpected accidents happening?…”
“Unfortunate accidents can happen at any time.”
“….”
“We must try to prevent something like that from happening.”
Fate is a strange thing, and even if you control all the variables, accidents sometimes happen.
Even I can’t stop that.
“Then I will pass.”
I passed the reporters and entered the Blue House.
* * *
There were a few things that really changed as I lived my new life.
One of them was Yang Joo-hyuk. He was a villain who went by the nickname Innerclow, and before becoming a villain, he was a madman who ran rampant, trusting his father, who was the master of the Howol Guild, a mid-sized guild.
That kind of guy entered the Blue House this time.
“This is Yang Joo-hyuk! long time no see!”
When I asked, I was told that I was hired by the Awakened Security Office. It is said that among those who graduated from the Academy, a man with unrivaled ability and outstanding achievements in exchange wars caused quite a stir when he joined the government rather than the guild.
I heard that he had a huge fight with his father and almost disowned him.
The guy who was a villain in his last life is a public servant.
Are you similar to me?
“Why did you become a civil servant?”
“The professor looks great. I thought I wanted to be like that too. Please provide more guidance in the future.”
Is that possible? I don’t think it’s possible.
However, there is no need to stop someone who is willing to work hard.
“Do well in the future.”
“yes!”
After finishing my conversation with Yang Joo-hyuk, I turned my attention to the man standing next to me. This man is also a person who entered the Blue House along with Yang Joo-hyuk.
“My name is Kim Hyo-jun.”
“This is Junho Choi.”
“I have been told about this name over and over again. I have always respected Choi Jun-ho. “I look forward to providing you with more guidance in the future.”
“I’m not used to guiding someone, but let’s get along.”
“There is a lot to learn just from the existence of a superhuman.”
It was a word that rolled around like a tongue in the mouth. Normally, I would have thought that I was pretty good at talking.
However, an abnormal air current occurred.
Every time Kim Hyo-jun spoke, Mandokbulchim was moving diligently in his head.
It was a signal that a status abnormality was occurring in real time.
That means they’re playing a trick on me.
At that time, I met Kim Hyo-jun’s eyes. It’s easy to think of it as shining brightly, but the strangeness within it brought out memories from my last life.
I’ve experienced this. In order to brainwash me, he was spreading lies here and there. The subtle way of brainwashing me was the same as that guy’s.
It’s different from the face I know.
If you don’t know, you should check.
“I will leave it up to you.”
“yes.”
It was time for Hyojun Kim to hold the hand I held out.
Without hesitation, I used my strength and crushed his hand.
Quad deuk!
“Aaaah!”
After shattering his hand, I kicked Kim Hyo-jun’s leg and broke it.
The desperate screams of the man who fell to the floor began to echo through the Blue House.
Now let’s extract some information.
