Episode 186
“….”
I don’t understand the silence that comes for a moment when someone dies.
In the meantime, shouldn’t the priority be to move quickly and deal with it? If you lose your mind like that, you have no choice but to become someone’s victim. It is not for nothing that many guilds train awakened people to move instinctively in emergency situations.
Because I can use my hands like right now.
Sigh!
The Royal Guards caught up in the storm of blades cast with their fingertips turned into blood and scattered. The crew watching from afar were no exception.
“Aaaah!”
They scream and scatter, but it’s a place where they have nowhere to run. This is why I like airplanes.
“You bastard….”
“Didn’t you know it would be like this from the beginning?”
“….”
Zhou Quan’s expression turned white towards me.
Still, I thought that in the places where he ruled, he would wield absolute power with a single finger, but in the places where that power could not reach, he would be very weak.
This must be its original appearance. If my strength disappears, I too might show up as weak.
Well, weak Junho Choi. If weakness awakens within me, that too will be a fun point.
[You are showing weakness?]
Why, but I am also a delicate person.
[You’re saying nonsense so calmly.]
Yongyong, who was in the middle of a fight, ignored what he was saying and I approached Zhou Quan.
The guy got up from his seat with a bloody look on his face, pulled out a knife and rushed at me.
It’s a bad choice.
No matter how spacious the inside of a private plane is, it is not wide enough to swing a sword and move freely. That’s why I don’t pick Nuri and deal with him with my bare hands.
Well, have you ever fought on your own private plane?
The lack of experience prevented Zhou Quan from mobilizing his full force.
In an instant, the interior decorations of the private plane were destroyed. I easily dodged the trajectory of Zhou Quan’s sword and took advantage of the increased movement to grab his wrist.
Quad deuk!
“Ugh!”
My wrist was shaking and I lost the sword in my hand. Zhou Quan, who raised his eyes, seemed to have realized that I had stopped him from doing so, but it was already too late.
puck!
I tripped over my kicks and made a mess. Zhou Quan groaned and tried to get up, but he was unable to get up as he was shaking like a broken machine.
As expected, even if one tried not to be prejudiced, the limitations of a place where the superhuman was alone were revealed. In many cases, competitiveness is maintained when multiple superhumans secretly compete within each other, rather than a superhuman who trains himself alone in preparation for a vague invasion of monsters.
“Did you plan to kill me from the beginning?”
“uh. But he got away with it very cleverly. “You did well with your daughter.”
“If I had known this would happen, I would have listened to Zhou Xingxia!”
“I shouldn’t have listened to you better.”
“….”
Zhou Quan’s expression was cruelly distorted. You probably think you’re unlucky.
If Yongyong hadn’t helped me, I would have resorted to what the people around me said was unreasonable. However, thanks to Yongyong, I was able to receive everything I received and process it without any noise.
“why! “You knew I could be of help to you!”
“How can you help me?”
It was truly strange.
Why are you doing whatever you want and screaming at me?
I didn’t really want to know or be curious.
“Just die.”
“I am so vain.”
Kwasik!
Zhou Quan’s neck was broken when he stepped on my foot. The light in his eyes disappeared, he stopped struggling and went limp with convulsions.
So we’ve succeeded in dealing with another villain.
Of course, everything is not over with Zhou Quan’s death. There were still many people left to kill.
“Let’s take care of the rest.”
I went around the private plane and killed all the crew members, including the SS. We dealt with the first officer who came out to find out what was going on inside, and even took care of the captain.
The plane that lost its pilot was shaken. I found where the black box was.
“Yongyong.”
[Why?]
“Destroy this.”
[Why me?]
“Can’t you please do me a favor? “Do you really have to complain like that?”
[No, I was just asking because I was curious. Why are you being so sensitive? Chet, okay]
When Yongyong swung his tail, the plane’s black box shattered.
It has become a perfect crime.
[Why did you tell me to destroy it?]
“It could be found just in case. When people see it, they will think it was destroyed by a monster.”
[Am I a monster?]
“It means that ordinary people don’t have the eyes to distinguish between divine beasts and monsters. “Shall we go then?”
[Tch!]
Yongyong looked displeased, but obediently followed my instructions. When Yongyong cast space movement, the place I arrived was the ground. It is exactly the same place where I first saw the plane.
It’s a perfect waterway for pampering.
[Don’t keep trying to pamper me with things like this.]
“Good job.”
[If you can’t even talk.]
Yongyong tsked and obediently agreed.
Even though he likes it, he bounces.
* * *
Alex Wang, the biggest political enemy of the Singapore dictator, was a figure who had long been active in the democratic movement and was a self-reliant advocate of restoring lost territory by placing awakened people under civilian control and strengthening cooperation with neighboring countries.
Because of his high reputation both inside and outside of Singapore, he is one of the biggest names in the world that Zhou Quan could not easily touch even after his arrest.
At the time of Alex Wang’s arrest, Zhou Quan famously declared, “I will make sure he never goes to prison for the rest of his life!”
To that extent, he was a symbolic figure in Singapore.
One thing that both Zhou Quan and Alex Wang had in common was that they agreed that they would never be able to leave prison for the rest of their lives.
He is now out of prison. It was an awakened person from Singapore who brought him out of prison. And next to him was a man with an unfamiliar face.
Are you trying to deal with it quietly? Alex Wang looked at his opponent with feigned resoluteness.
But then something completely unexpected came out.
“My name is Lee Woo-min from South Korea.”
“korea? “What happened to the awakened person there?”
“I happened to be running errands nearby and came here after receiving an order from my country.”
“So what did you get me out of jail for? Zhou Quan won’t let you go. “Are you two trying to join hands to deal with me?”
Lee Woo-min shook his head.
“Zhou Quan is dead.”
“That Zhou Quani?”
Alex Wang felt as if his thinking circuit had stopped at the unbelievable news.
His nemesis, the villainous Zhou Quan, is dead? He was a person who was thought to live his whole life in vain and die a natural death.
“Yes, it was a plane crash. Zhou Xingxia and the SS were inside. “It was an unfortunate accident.”
“….”
Alex Wang’s head turned quickly. Zhou Quan, his actual brain, Zhou Xingxia, and Singapore’s most elite bodyguards disappeared.
What he meant was that it was a golden opportunity to escape Zhou Quan’s dictatorship.
“The home country is willing to help Mr. Alex.”
“You did me a great favor just by taking me out, but are you willing to help me?”
“yes.”
“why?”
“My country received an advance payment from Zhou Quan.”
“Why are you telling me about that advance payment?”
Lee Woo-min grinned.
“During Zhou Quan’s visit to his country, we signed a contract to supply the Big Bang series. “I would like to hand this over to the Awakened who follow Mr. Alex.”
“This?”
“Because you can take over the government of Singapore.”
“This is interference in internal affairs.”
“You mean interference in internal affairs? We just speeded up the execution of the contract a little. To the person who will inherit the next administration.”
Lee Woo-min said with a calm expression.
“If we arm ourselves with these weapons, fewer people will be sacrificed.”
“….”
“If you don’t want it, I’ll take it back. As you may know, the Big Bang series is a weapon with excellent performance that currently commands a premium price. If Mr. Alex does not accept it, I have no choice but to hand it to the SS.”
Alex Wang felt like he had come to his senses. Yes, now was not the time to raise your head and pretend to be noble.
“I made a mistake. “Let me take it.”
“That is a wise decision. Please tell us the date, time and location and we will bring it there. Take this. “Then I’ll leave.”
Lee Woo-min gave a smartphone to Alex Wang and left.
A few days later, Alex Wang armed his comrades with the Big Bang series received from Lee Woo-min and succeeded in ousting Zhou Quan’s forces and regaining power.
At that time, news of the crash of Zhou Quan’s plane was spreading.
But…
why is there only a 5 minute difference between the time Lee Woo-min came to visit him and the time the plane crashed?
“….”
Alex Wang thought that he would carry his doubts with him for the rest of his life.

News of the crash of Zhou Quan’s plane hit South Korea the next day.
It was a vain end for the dictator who had ruled Singapore for a long time.
It was clearly reported in the news that the accident was caused by a plane crash.
However, netizens who heard this news did not take it at face value.
-This is 100% Choi Jun-ho’s doing.
-Choi Jun-ho’s omnipotent theory ㄷㄷㄷ Are they even going to crash planes now?
-But it is true that Choi Jun-ho is the only person who would do something like this.
-How terrible is Zhou Quan for his own safety that he would neglect taking care of his plane? There is definitely something hidden.
-Really, no matter how much you think about it, it seems more likely that it was Choi Jun-ho’s doing than that it was a machine defect.
-Are they shooting down planes now? I’m scared. I’m scared.
-In the first place, it was strange that Choi Jun-ho left alone a dictator who was more vicious than the villain. There were accusations that it was a sexual affair because it wasn’t dealt with right away, so I wondered what was going on, but the
problem with such a big picture is that no matter how much you think about it, you can’t draw a picture that doesn’t involve Choi Jun-ho.
-If you kill him directly, people will say something, so did you fake the plane crash? Choi Jun-ho’s methods are becoming more sophisticated every day.
-If you look at the actual crash angle of the plane, it falls at a right angle, which is impossible unless the pilot tried to commit suicide. But based on common sense, would the pilot commit suicide? Only people with proven loyalty would have been selected.
-So, you’re saying that Choi Jun-ho, using some kind of trick, entered the plane that had already taken off, killed everyone, crashed it, and escaped safely?
-Why don’t you just say that Choi Jun-ho does everything?
-Honestly, if you say that Choi Jun-ho did this, you’re crossing the line.
-Kkeke, these guys here don’t know how scary Choi Jun-ho is. Choi Jun-ho is a guy who can do that…!
Public opinion was mostly directed towards Choi Jun-ho.
and.
-uh? Choi Jun-ho appeared on TV! Interview about Zhou Quan’s accident!
A brief interview with Choi Jun-ho about the plane accident appeared on the news.
[Zhou Quan had already declined several offers to service the plane and left the airport at unsuitable times for flights. I feel regretful that it would have been better if I had recommended airplane maintenance more strongly. I feel sorry that the airplane accident occurred…] -You are asking for
it to be an airplane accident, right?
-???: Anyway, it was a plane accident!
-If you tease me, bring evidence!
-Ah, so this incident became a plane crash.

The President and Cheon Myeong-guk were watching the news on TV. After watching Choi Jun-ho’s interview, the President said with tears in his eyes.
“I did it in the end.”
“yes.”
“Once I let it happen, will there be any repercussions?”
“In fact, when you look around in many ways, you cannot find any connection with Choi Jun-ho, a superhuman. “Any rational person would probably know that it’s impossible.”
“But Choi Jun-ho is not a person with common sense.”
“…yes.”
Cheon Myeong-guk nodded, saying that was the biggest problem. It was unclear what methods they actually used to infiltrate the plane and deal with them to escape.
If Choi Jun-ho had not predicted that he would do something, he would have thought that Zhou Quan was so unlucky that he did such a thing.
“He is a person who says he is not something to be controlled, but just looking at his actions makes me feel like I need to control him. “This thought will continue to dominate our minds.”
“I think that kind of thinking is the beginning of destruction.”
“I think it was resolved well because you and Commissioner Jeong changed your thoughts flexibly. Even if you don’t understand, you should be able to overlook it, but even that isn’t easy, so tsk!”
“There isn’t much left, so please be patient.”
“You only have one year left, so would you mind escaping first?”
“…haha!”
Cheon Myeong-guk smiled awkwardly. But what can we do with good things? There has never been a time when the sky looked as beautiful as it does these days.
“Even if we talk, we have to concentrate, right?”
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
Cheon Myeong-guk focused again on the president’s point.
“That’s not how they do it there. “We need to consider the interests of each ministry and understand budget-related issues to understand why we are talking about different things.”
“yes.”
“are you okay. In fact, the speed of understanding the work is very decent. “We can do better in the future.”
“yes!”
Cheon Myeong-guk, who was happily responding to the president’s praise, suddenly felt puzzled.
Why are you looking into the president’s work when you yourself are trying to hand over the job? Wasn’t this unrelated to the handover? The President said that the handover to Choi Jun-ho would be smooth only if he understood his own work, but he felt that something was lacking.
However, due to the president’s urging, Cheon Myeong-guk had to focus on his work again.
