Episode 188
Lee Se-hee is passionate about everything.
Sometimes I am amazed when I see that.
For humans, there is a total amount of energy for everything. Depending on the total amount, we set priorities for certain things and devote our passion to them according to their importance.
In that respect, Lee Se-hee was an energetic being in every way. When it comes to fashion, it’s fashion. When it comes to appearance management, it’s not like I’m neglecting group work, and I’m concentrating on ways to grow the sacred guild.
At the same time, to ensure that his skills did not fall behind, he made time to visit me and receive guidance.
When I see things like this from the side, I reflect on myself and think that I should not be lazy.
I need to move more diligently and kill more villains. It would be nice to completely eradicate it, but that wouldn’t be easy, right?
Why am I talking about Lee Se-hee’s efforts?
The hard work that has been done so far has finally paid off.
“ha! ha!”
A sweet smell flowed from the mouth of Lee Se-hee, who was lying down. Although his appearance was miserable, the power in his eyes was still strong.
“Mr. Junho. “Isn’t it a bit rougher than usual?”
“It’s not?”
“That’s right. “It hurt a lot more than usual.”
“Did you notice?”
“It’s mischievous.”
There was resentment mixed in his voice, but his expression was not. Lee Se-hee has a tendency to feel happier the more she pushes herself. He accepts it as evidence that he has grown.
I also didn’t push Lee Se-hee hard for no reason.
“It has to be that way.”
“yes? why?”
“Because you have become level 7.”
“….”
“Didn’t you notice?”
Lee Se-hee, who had always been easy-going, became completely mute. Her eyelids were trembling like aspen trees.
“Really? “I’m level 7?”
“huh.”
“That doesn’t make sense…”
That’s what I said, but since he knew I wasn’t just saying empty words, he probably accepted it as the truth.
Lee Se-hee stood up unsteadily and carefully examined her condition. You will feel that everything about yourself has changed, including a smooth flow of force and expanded senses.
Human growth is like climbing stairs rather than climbing a gentle incline. You may feel sluggish because your path is blocked, but when you encounter an opportunity, you will immediately overcome that stage as if the obstacles before were nothing.
It may make all your efforts feel futile, but it all comes down to accumulating and accumulating results.
Lee Se-hee also finally became level 7 through some reason.
“thank you.”
“If you’re grateful, buy me a cup of coffee.”
“yes! Sure! Would you like to buy me a coffee franchise?”
Looking at Lee Se-hee’s momentum, it seemed like he was really going to buy it. Rather, I had to refuse.
“No, it’s okay.”
“I was joking too.”
“Do you think you have the strength to joke?”
“I suddenly feel strong.”
He was dying just a moment ago, but was completely revived after hearing that he had reached level 7.
Lee Se-hee took a quick shower and came back, while I prepared coffee.
“it is delicious. “Now that I see it, Junho, you’re good at making coffee, right?”
“It tastes like home. “You just have to roast the exact amount to the perfect temperature.”
This took more concentration than expected. It was especially good for training the senses of the fingertips, but the exact amount had to be roasted at the exact temperature. The reason why this is important is because when you kill an opponent, if your hand digs in, you have to fire mines with the sense of your fingertips to destroy them all. There are some annoying guys that respawn if you don’t kill them in one go.
I always eat ready-made products, but I tried making it once and it wasn’t as bad an experience as I thought. The more people who enjoy it every time it is served like this, the more it gets better.
“I feel like I want to take Junho and set up a coffee franchise?”
“There must be someone better than me with one truck?”
“It was a joke. “But do you have something to ask?”
“Yes.”
“I am mentally prepared. Please speak.”
It’s not that serious, but I’m nervous for no reason.
“How does Shinsung Group view the next presidential election?”
The reason I ask this question is not only because of the president’s thoughts, but also because I feel that being the next president will have an important influence on me as well.
Although I will not be swayed by the President’s policy stance, I honestly want to block things that become troublesome in advance.
“The next presidential candidate? Well, honestly, for Junho and me, it is convenient for the ruling party to remain in power. But to put it bluntly, the ruling party does not have a suitable presidential candidate.”
Lee Se-hee says the reason is because the ruling party’s presidential candidates were fatally injured in a series of incidents related to me.
This includes Seoul Mayor Han Jeong-moon, who was the most influential, and former party leader Ji Chang-yong.
So you’re saying it’s my fault?
Lee Se-hee noticed my thoughts and immediately took care of it.
“It’s not Junho’s fault. “In fact, we lost public support by showing the foolishness of trying to stand up to Mr. Junho.”
“What about the opposition party?”
“There are no clearly strong candidates. Rep. Hyun Young-mi, who is the strongest presidential candidate, is not very popular and is a hardliner who believes that awakened people should be kept within the law, so it is not good for Jun-ho.”
“It’s definitely going to be a hassle.”
“yes. If the ruling party wants to take power, it will have to come up with a good candidate, but surprisingly, this could lead to a close race. “Is there a candidate who understands national affairs well, is innovative, and gets along well with Junho?”
there is. The President has already prepared for the Mandate of Heaven with that in mind.
They may have picked Cheon Myeong-guk with everything Lee Se-hee said in mind.
In fact, the person concerned is said to be gleeful that he can quit after a year without even knowing that he was selected as a presidential candidate.
Did you hate facing me like that? Then, shame on you for becoming a presidential candidate.
“I guess it’s because the president’s power is that strong, right?”
“Yes, they criticize it for being an imperial power, but the power is really strong.”
Before the appearance of demons, the president’s greatest power lay in his power of appointment. After the appearance of the monster, the President’s powerful power was replaced by the ability to give orders to awakened people in the government.
Rather, Lee Se-hee’s explanation was that he had become stronger than in the past.
“We must choose a good president.”
“Yes, the President, this is an issue that our Shinsung Group also considers important, so we will share it when important information comes out.”
“Ok, thanks.”
The result of listening to Lee Se-hee and thinking about it.
I think it would be best for Cheon Myung-guk to become president.
* * *
While various incidents were taking place, it was Jung Joo-ho’s first day at work.
Jeong Joo-ho’s expression was bright, perhaps because he was relieved of his burdensome position.
Yeom Gi-cheol of the External Cooperation Management Bureau was appointed as Jeong Ju-ho’s successor. While Joo-ho Jeong leads the organization with passionate passion, Yeom Yeom-cheol takes control of the organization with cold reason and places his subordinates in the right positions to produce results. Because of this, they are called cold-blooded.
Now that the first commissioner, Jeong Ju-ho, had established himself, he was considered the right person to manage the organization.
It was Jeong Joo-ho who recommended him. Isn’t it love of one’s fellow countrymen and love of one’s country?
Of course, that was the superficial reason.
“That guy, Yeom Gi-cheol, will probably roll over and turn to the color of dirt and regret it.”
Jung Joo-ho burst out laughing as if he had made a trouble for his best friend. After throwing off his heavy coat, his steps were as light as feathers.
As he walked around the office saying hello, he met someone he never thought would belong to the same company. It’s Berserker.
“Commissioner Jeong. No, Director Jeong. “I heard you were coming. Nice to meet you.”
“Oh Berserker. Fate is a strange thing, so I became a member of the Korean family. I hope to go along well.”
Although Jung Joo-ho was a few years older than Berserker, a strange composition was drawn where the older person treated the character with respect and the younger person spoke informally.
But neither of them considered it a problem.
“You look very nice?”
“I threw away my burdensome burden and came to a place where I can work comfortably, and of course it is. haha!”
“comfortable? here?”
Berserker’s expression that I’ve never seen before.
Jeong Joo-ho, who sensed an air of anxiety, erased his smiling expression.
“Well, our representative told us to stay comfortably here…”
“Did you believe him?”
“Isn’t it difficult to just coordinate interests with government officials?”
Jung Joo-ho saw this and decided to work together, but Berserker, who had been listening quietly, clicked his tongue.
“Tsk! “You were completely fooled.”
“What do you mean you fooled me?”
“Are you the kind of person who sees Choi Jun-ho comfortably somewhere?”
“….”
It felt like a million volt electric current was shooting through my flower garden. Joo-ho Jeong came to his senses and realized that Berserker’s words were 10000% right.
The basic option for people related to Choi Jun-ho was that they were close to each other.
“Let’s get along well with fellow Choi Jun-ho slaves. “I will be there to help you a lot.”
“….”
Jung Joo-ho could not like the comfort that was not Berserker’s comfort.
But if you look around, there will be a way out. Jeong Joo-ho’s true character was that even if he grumbled that it was difficult, he did a good job when given the task.
At the first meeting, Jeong Ju-ho immediately presented an alternative to Choi Jun-ho’s order to purchase missiles.
“How about taking over a military company?”
After the appearance of the monster, the downfall of the military company accelerated. The quick-witted company quickly changed its course to making awakened weapons, and the small business went bankrupt and disappeared.
Companies producing weapons that are difficult to replace survived, but fell into financial difficulties as demand decreased.
“The government will not sell it, but there is a high probability that this gesture will send a positive signal to arms sales.”
“Isn’t it possible that the government won’t react?”
“Then all you have to do is take over the military company. “You can make whatever weapon you want.”
Jeong Joo-ho thought that the government would come up with a compromise to prevent that.
“Can I leave that part to Director Jeong?”
“Yes, we will make the government anxious to sell missiles.”
Yes, this is easy. Jung Joo-ho thought that Berserker was simply scaring him by what he said. You just have to be faithful to your work.
“I have the next agenda item.”
And what came out of Jin Se-jeong’s mouth made Jeong Joo-ho bewildered.
It was about Zhou Quan. Jung Joo-ho, who thought it was just an unfortunate plane crash and Choi Jun-ho had nothing to do with it, got up in shock, threw away all the respect he had been paying attention to, and asked.
“Now wait a minute! What does this mean now? “So Zhou Quan died not because of the plane crash, but because you did it?”
“Oh, Director, you didn’t know? “I killed them all and crashed the plane.”
“I’m crazy!”
“Don’t worry about the evidence. “Even the black box was thoroughly destroyed.”
“I wonder if I’m surprised by that right now!”
“sure?”
“uh? So…” Rather,
Jung Joo-ho was speechless due to his confident questioning attitude. With Berserker and Jin Se-jeong calmly present, I feel like a strange person.
Are you really weird? Isn’t Choi Jun-ho strange?
“It is a good development for everyone because the dictator has died and a democratic regime has come into power. Ah, is this bad luck for the Zhou family?”
“….”
Is that something like that?
Jeong Joo-ho nodded, dumbfounded, and sat down.
After listening to Jin Se-jeong suggest an unusual way to change public opinion, Jeong Joo-ho realized that none of the people here were normal.
I was anxious to escape after just one day.
* * *
Bringing in Jung Joo-ho was definitely a great choice. They immediately came up with a great countermeasure to the purchase of missiles. The presence of someone I could trust and entrust with work always gave me reassurance.
It seems like Jung Joo-ho also likes it.
[That human was screaming?]
“The way he likes things is a bit unique.”
[okay? It’s very different from what I felt.]
Yongyong is trying to drive a wedge between me and Jung Joo-ho. Well, there is no problem between me and Jung Joo-ho.
[No, what kind of conflict is this? I was only telling the truth.] Even
if Yongyong pretended to be unfair, nothing would change.
It was around the time I returned home and finished parking.
[Huh?]
Like Yongyong’s reaction, I also felt a strange feeling beyond the space and hesitated. At that time, a human figure appeared through a gap in the space, like bread cracking. It was Hyuna who should have been far away. I let my guard down when I saw a familiar face, but it wasn’t the dog that came out to greet me.
bruise!
The dog jumped forward and took guard. Hyuna’s transparent eyes turned to the dog. When the difference in strength was clearly felt, the dog faltered due to the momentum, but held on until the end.
“Are you trying to protect your master? “He’s reckless but cute.”
Hyuna approached the dog. And he put his hand on his head.
“This is a gift.”
A blue force shimmered above the dog’s head and then disappeared.
“What gift is it?”
“The ability to move underwater as if on land.”
…is it really good? This is a skill I also want to have.
Hyuna said as if she sensed my thoughts.
“You’re too strong.”
“That’s a shame. “But what brought you here?”
“I have something to say about water purification.”
“okay? Then let’s go up.”
I took Hyuna and headed to my house. When Hyuna, the Yongyong guy, appeared, the usual scoffing disappeared and she quietly followed.
“So why did you come here?”
“The essence will soon reveal itself.”
Then you can go and find it. But if you could easily find it, you wouldn’t have bothered to come here in person.
“But there’s a problem.”
“What problem?”
“Other divine beasts also intervened.”
“who?”
“thunderbird.”
