The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity Chapter 134

Episode 134:

The President and Jin Se-jeong talked for a long time. It was to the extent of canceling the next schedule that was originally scheduled.

“It was a useful time.”

“I was also honored to meet the President.”

“Team Leader Jin’s idea of turning the table upside down was radical and novel. “Please control Superhuman Choi Jun-ho well.”

Jin Se-jeong shook his head at those words. A look of puzzlement appeared on the President’s face.

What did I say wrong?

“My words may be presumptuous, but I don’t think you should think of controlling a superhuman.”

“then?”

“You have to understand.”

“understanding?”

“yes. I understand. It is necessary to understand what the Adept truly desires. “Rather than bending the superhuman with my will, I help the superhuman make the best results with his decisions.”

“Helping is a difficult word.”

“But if you are the president, you can do it, right?”

“I feel like I have to say it’s possible.”

“Because I believe you will do it.”

“After hearing Team Leader Jin’s words, I realized that I had been mistaken all along. “Be careful.”

“Thank you for your understanding! “I’ll just go now.”

Jin Se-jeong bowed his head and went out.

“….”

The President was lost in thought for a long time even after Jin Se-jeong passed away.

When he came inside to inform him of the next schedule, Cheon Myeong-guk became worried when he saw that the contemplation was prolonged.

“President?”

“Oh, I was thinking deeply. “What’s next?”

“You have canceled.”

“It was like that. “I’m confused.”

“Did you not like your conversation with Jin Se-jeong?”

“No, I actually liked it quite a bit. “I was able to confirm that there were conspiracies and schemes that I couldn’t imagine were rampant in a world I didn’t know about.”

In particular, the last words I heard about having to understand Choi Jun-ho left a deep impression.

So far, all I’ve tried to understand is a few lines of data.

I thought we had built a human bond, but maybe that wasn’t the case, and the President reflected a little.

“Does Director Cheon know anything about idols?”

Cheon Myeong-guk shook his head.

“I only know the outlines. The only idols I know right now are those who debuted 20 years ago…”

“I see. That would be the general perception.”

“Is there anything else you would like to say?”

“Team leader Jin Se-jeong, whom I spoke with today, is quite capable.”

“Is that so?”

“I could see why Choi Jun-ho was so successful in improving his image. My vision is very sharp. You have the ability to accurately see the essence of an event and lead it in the desired direction. Although I am showing humility. Even though we knew that Choi Jun-ho was an idol expert, we did not have any prejudice and embraced him, which is why we achieved this result.”

Cheon Myeong-guk learned that the president was very impressed by Jin Se-jeong.

Did you say you were a visual art director? I thought idols were just idols, but that might be my own bias.

“If I have the ability, I should get to know Choi Jun-ho so that I can guide him well.”

“No, he didn’t want that.”

“then?”

“He wanted me to understand Choi Jun-ho more than I do now. What do you think Choi Jun-ho really wants? Level 9? Or maintain the status quo? Better treatment?”

“….”

“Maybe we were unable to narrow the distance because we tried to think only from our perspective.”

“I know what you mean. “I think I did the same.”

Fortunately, I noticed the problem before it occurred.

The President became curious about the place where Jin Se-jeong, who had enlightened him, was located.

“I guess I should look into the idol world.”

I thought that if it really was such a spectacular world as Jin Se-jeong said, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to look into it and study it.

“How about we try it together?”

“Oh, I understand.”

On the other hand, Cheon Myeong-guk, who had no idea at all, accepted the president’s proposal with a shocked expression.

* * *

It was while visiting the office that I heard that the President had called Jin Se-jeong.

Suddenly at the Blue House? I wondered if the Blue House had finally recognized Jin Se-jeong’s capabilities. I’m sure you’re not doing this to scout me. Are you really going to say that Jin Se-jung is changing jobs? It’s been a while since my salary was raised, so should I raise it again? It’s hard for this to happen when Lee Se-hee is busy. My head hurts a little.

I thought that hiring a capable person was not an easy task.

Lee Se-hee said that frequent salary increases are never good and that harmony and chemistry within the team should be considered.

Jin Se-jeong, who returned to the office not long after, expressed her impressions of her visit to the Blue House, as if to let me know that my worries were unfounded.

“It was fun. I thought it was amazing. I realized that he was at the pinnacle of power because he was that kind of person. “When I saw him on TV, he seemed like a nice person.”

“Weren’t you scouted by the Blue House?”

“The Blue House me? “Oh, that’s ridiculous.”

“Then I’m glad.”

“Do not worry. I like it better now. “It’s also fun to know something about the superhuman that the world doesn’t know about.”

For some reason, that sounds scary, but is it an illusion?

You’re probably leaving malicious comments for me. Could it be sincere?

“I guess the image was good.”

“yes. Feel like getting a glimpse into a new world? But this isn’t important right now. “Did you hear about the new level 9?”

“I heard.”

As soon as the news got out, how could I not know that my smartphone caught fire?

Anyway, since it’s level 9, honestly, I wasn’t very impressed with the content.

I am currently level 8, and what will change for me when I become level 9 in a while?

There isn’t one.

Rather, I think it will only increase the number of troublesome things.

But why do people think I will do it?

This is what I thought after going back and working as a civil servant hunter and then becoming a superhuman, and the more rights there are, the better, and the fewer obligations, the better.

The strong basically enjoy more rights.

However, the government does not just sit back and watch.

After trapping them within the bounds of legality, they force them to fulfill more obligations to enjoy their rights.

As I became a superman, I was able to escape much of it, but the invisible, intangible pressure still exists.

Increasing obligations are not a good thing.

There is a big difference between striking down a villain when you see one in front of you and searching for the hidden villain.

If you play and eat, they’ll push you to hunt monsters.

It just expands from a national scale to a global scale.

There are no real benefits.

But is there any reason to do it?

“Let’s guess what Superhuman thinks?”

“Why?”

“Hey, it’s fun. You probably don’t even care about level 9, right? “Don’t you think that it will only lead to more troublesome things?”

“….”

As expected, Jin Se-jeong is a ghost.

Does one have to have this level of talent to become a malicious commenter who will shake my mind?

“I think your opinion is right.”

“Are you serious?”

“sure. Just looking at level 9 is a play on words. Why did they include something like the World Association of Psychics when creating Level 9? It’s about breaking away from the framework of national belonging and making sacrifices for the world. “It will probably just lead to more troublesome things.”

Surprisingly, my thoughts were the same as mine.

Jin Se-jeong called it a bright apricot.

“I think my current situation is much better if it’s not like Superhuman is willing to burn my body for a grand cause.”

“I think it’s similar.”

“also. Just be careful! People around you will probably try to push you around. Superhumans shouldn’t get caught up in this! “I’m not worried because you’re not the type to get involved anyway.”

“I will be careful.”

But is that all you need to be careful about?

I looked at Jin Se-jeong to see if he had anything more to say, but there were no further words.

“Anyway, my job is to assist the superhuman.”

“Even if I become level 9?”

“Then I have to assist you like that. There is another method for that. All you have to do is create an image as a hero who will save the world!”

You’re trustworthy. I especially liked it because it didn’t try to sway me.

Once you build a certain level of friendship, most people try to take advantage of your power.

The ones who are free from this conflict of interest are Jin Se-jeong and Jeong Da-hyun?

“yes! You can solve the rest in your own way. “I can cover it!”

If that’s the case.

I’ll just have to resolve it in my own way when the opportunity arises sometime soon.

“And I have one more request.”

“yes? “What is it like?”

“It can be a bit difficult.”

“Hey, what are you hesitating between me and Choin?”

Aren’t the employers who pay a lot of money and the employees who often leave malicious comments?

I mentioned the main point because I thought I would get bogged down if I went deeper.

“It’s about bringing villains into society.”

“By villain, do you mean Berserker?”

“you’re right.”

I said it was possible in front of him, but I thought it wouldn’t be easy…

“You can do it! “Please leave it to me!”

“….”

This easy?

“I also did some research on Berserker. But this is really fun. If you cover it well, there may actually be a reversal in public opinion. Please trust us!”

A sinister smile appeared on Jin Se-jeong’s lips as she spoke.

I thought it was a very difficult task, but I thought it wasn’t that bad.

It’s good. It’s a waste to experience these malicious comments alone.

The blue dragon who was watching said something.

[When it comes to work, he seems to be a person whose expiration date has passed by about a month. How can there be no normal people around you?]

“….”

Actually, I was surprised too.

* * *

…Jin Se-jeong warned me about the surrounding atmosphere, but surprisingly, no one tried to push me.

Was it rain?

I had no intention of listening to it anyway, but it felt strange.

Like Yongyong said, it’s probably because everyone has a bit of a taste for it.

[I think it’s because I don’t think it will work for you at all.]

There is no need to refer to Blue Dragon’s words that interpret anything negatively.

[Are you ignoring my words, which have been gained through years of wisdom and insight?]

They say that Berserker is not crazy. Would you believe me then?

[Is it past its expiration date? Why do you think that’s normal?]

Let go of the guy’s babbling words.

Since there was no one around to encourage me, I thought I could do whatever I wanted.

It’s been a while since I had a meal with my parents. I felt like I was making up for the mistakes I made in my last life because I was shown only good things and treated only good things in a good place.

But as always, new worries arise. I asked my parents.

“Is there anyone who bothers you or anything that bothers you?”

[You can’t say it! He’s going to kill them all. Ouch!]

I grabbed the blue dragon, massaged it with my hands, covered its mouth, and waited for my parents’ answer.

“does not exist. These are minor things. “Thanks to my son, I’m doing well.”

“Did your relatives ask you to lend them money?”

“I silenced him within a reasonable range. “It looks like they’re dissatisfied, but what can I do? They’re trying hard to get even the crumbs.”

I didn’t know, but after I hunted the level 8 harmful monster, even my in-laws’ cousin got attached to me and was annoying my parents.

I thought about using this opportunity to sort it out, but my father said he would handle it himself, so I paid no attention to it.

Since nothing has been said so far, I guess there’s nothing I should worry about.

“Aren’t you uncomfortable going around with a bodyguard?”

“It was a bit like that at first, but now it’s more comfortable. “It’s nice to have someone to talk to.”

“I like it too. Nowadays, it is difficult to find like-minded people. “It’s better to be friends with someone who protects me.”

When taking my parents to Seoul, something I paid special attention to was safety.

Right now, this apartment was also home to the upper class, had its own bodyguards from the Awakening, and was equipped with a state-of-the-art crime prevention system. Separately, he hired a bodyguard to protect his parents and went with them.

It may be uncomfortable, but I’m glad you’re okay.

“And I think I’ll be offered a level 9 this time. “I wonder what you think.”

I decided internally, but I was also curious about what my parents thought.

“To be honest, I wish I hadn’t.”

My father’s words were unexpected. I thought you would say it would be good for your son to reach level 9.

“Don’t you hear a lot when you come here? I don’t think the US or the Supernatural Association would have made the suggestion with pure intentions. “If you don’t know for sure, it’s best to refuse and wait.”

“I wish my son would become famous, but that’s enough for now. “I will trust Junho’s judgment.”

[Why are you crazy but your parents are normal? It’s amazing.]

“….”

Yongyong says something true for the first time in a while.

[I usually only say the right things.]

The problem is that I also say things that are unfair.

anyway.

I felt reassured that my parents trusted me like this.

“Yes I will. “If you need anything, please let me know at any time.”

“What do you need? Of course there is.”

Mother’s eyes lit up.

what?

“I wish our Junho would bring a good woman and marry her…”

Suddenly?

The moment I was confused about how to answer, my father spoke in a stern voice.

“What a plan all of a sudden. “You have to wish for what you wish for.”

“It must be hard, right?”

“Say the obvious.”

“….”

I became unfilial without even being able to answer.

Why is the story going like this?

* * *

The news of a new level 9 created an uproar around the world.

James Reed, who is staying in Korea, also heard this news.

‘Not much.’

He immediately realized that it was a plan to entrap Choi Jun-ho, but he was doubtful whether it would actually work.

Any other awakened person would be excited and rush to the title of level 9, which means ‘the world’s strongest’, but Choi Jun-ho, whom he saw, did not seem to do so.

Anna Christine also criticized this and took a sip of strong whiskey.

“It’s stupid. “It is a typical self-centered decision without any understanding of Choi Jun-ho.”

“also.”

“They think like that because they think they are moving the world. “That arrogance gave birth to the monster called the League.”

“League.”

James Reed’s expression hardened. Anna Christine handed over the whiskey bottle with an expression of understanding.

I sighed as I watched him drink it all in one go.

“The League is a monster, James.”

“know.”

“Now is the time to be patient.”

“I know that too.”

“Are you having a hard time holding it in?”

“I can endure as much as I want. “If only to kill the Hell Master.”

The smell of blood mixed with whiskey came from the sound of his voice as he clenched his teeth.

“Anna…”

She is the fiancée of James Reed, who died during the formation of the League.

At that time, James Reed couldn’t do anything.

Helplessness awakened him and made him the macho man he is today.

However, the murdered fiancee never returned.

“Why is it that her name is Anna?”

Anna Christine grunted in dissatisfaction, but she didn’t say anything more because she knew how fiercely James Reed lived for revenge.

After taking a moment to cool off, James Reed asked:

“Then what should we do?”

The plan to make Choi Jun-ho to level 9 is ultimately for the benefit of the United States. James Reed and Anna Christine are people who work for America. As I watched what seemed like an obvious failure, I felt frustrated.

We need to gather all our strength and clear the league as soon as possible, but things keep going wrong.

“You just have to keep quiet and watch.”

“Let’s wait for the right time?”

“Yes, if we come forward and express our opinions, will they blame us when we fail?”

“But they will also ask our opinions. “I can use research as an excuse, but what will Anna do?”

“Let’s take this opportunity to rest.”

“what?”

James Reed was surprised. Anna Christine was famous for taking few breaks to quickly rise to the top.

She’s resting like that?

“I don’t think you can get promoted quickly just because you move quickly. “I will take this opportunity to rest and observe the situation.”

“It won’t go their way anyway.”

“Do you see it that way?”
