The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity Chapter 23

Episode 23

“Who are you!”

Kim Young-hwan’s eerie eyes, torn horizontally, scanned the conference room.

The civil servant hunters who made eye contact were unable to overcome the momentum and quickly got out of the way. Naturally, Kim Young-Hwan and I faced each other.

“You seem to be getting senile. How about retiring and going home to rest?”

“Is that your will?”

“I’ve heard a lot about wills, but I’ve never tried one. and.”

I smiled while looking at Kim Young-hwan.

“For someone who talks about sacrifice, I’ve never seen him sacrifice himself.”

“dare!”

Kim Young-hwan, unable to hold back his anger, stretched out his hand. Even though it was not a sword as the main weapon, it was a surprise attack that had the potential to kill quite a few people.

“Minister!”

Before Dahyun Jeong’s surprised voice could disperse, Younghwan Kim’s right hand reached my face.

Pot!

After lightly flicking Kim Young-hwan’s hand away, he reached out to grab his collar. Younghwan Kim twisted his body, pushed away my hand with his left hand, and swung his right hand with all his might. When I grabbed it, it wriggled like a snake coiling itself and collided with my holding power.

bang!

As the force and mines intertwined, a strong explosion sound rang out. The hunters who were watching the situation were scared and retreated. I tried to let go, but Kim Young-hwan wouldn’t let go and provoked a struggle.

He may be planning to attack me with an overwhelming amount of force, but challenging me, who has all the experience and force gifts of hematomas, is itself an act of suicide.

Okay!

The surrounding air trembled, and strong energy waves spread in all directions.

The superiority and inferiority of power was soon revealed.

Although they were able to hold on evenly for a while, Kim Young-hwan’s face soon began to heat up as he reached his limit.

“Ugh!”

“······.”

I was lost in thought as I trampled on the force writhing inside me.

How should I handle it? Should I end it like this? It would be easy for me to put an end to a young man who is aging and barely able to show half of his prime strength.

In the past, I would have killed him without mercy.

However, since the operation was established, I decided to be generous and give it a chance.

“If you kneel down and apologize, I’ll let you know.”

“···bloke!”

Isn’t this a generous measure that will save one’s life?

If the other person doesn’t accept it that way, you have no choice but to deal with it.

Quadddd!

As my mine began to penetrate his bones, Younghwan Kim’s eyes began to flutter. I am able to withstand the pressure with the majestic force I have accumulated throughout my life, but that is all. My bones are becoming distorted, and if it progresses further, they will shatter or crumble into dust.

It was when Kim Young-hwan’s face turned red as if it was about to explode.

“haha! Minister! Leave it at this. Choi Jun-ho, you too.”

Jung Joo-ho intervened in the middle and separated Kim Young-hwan and me. I thought about doing more, but when I saw Jung Joo-ho’s dazzling facial features, I backed out.

Anyway, my pride was broken and my arms were half sore.

“I guess there was a misunderstanding.”

“You still say that after hearing what that guy said?”

Younghwan Kim shouted, forcibly supporting his weak arms.

Jung Joo-ho made a pitiful expression.

“Don’t you know that kids these days don’t listen? That guy doesn’t understand my language very well. And the minister’s request is actually quite problematic.”

“what?”

“There are ways to catch both Berserker and Puppeteer while minimizing damage. “As long as the Minister does his best.”

“······.”

Kim Yeong-hwan closed his mouth when he pointed out his plan to take advantage of the fruits while leaving as much room as possible.

“We all work with a sense of duty, but if you ask us to dig a hole to die in, it’s not easy. Minister, please use more force.”

With those words, Jeong Joo-ho looked at Kim Young-hwan. If he had been pleasing with a friendly smile just a moment ago, now he had the face of a director of the National Protection Agency who was willing to protect his subordinate’s life to the end.

Kim Young-Hwan, who was looking around and the corner of his mouth twitching, turned around.

“…I just lost my appetite. “Do whatever you want!”

“thank you!”

Jung Joo-ho drove a wedge toward Kim Young-hwan, who was heading out. He was relieved and looked at me. His eyes were cut horizontally like Kim Young-hwan’s.

“Whoa! Everyone gets out except Choi Jun-ho!”

The National Protection Agency hunters who were glancing at me left the conference room.

“What on earth are you thinking?”

Could it be that they caught me trying to kill him? As expected, the director’s wit is a ghost.

“But I won’t kill you…

“He’s a really greedy guy. He was trying to establish his position with this matter. It was reckless, but thanks to you, there will be no meaningless sacrifices. thanks.”

huh? I guess the direction of my thoughts was different. I also noticed it and nodded in agreement without finishing the sentence.

“Even so, do it after being recognized as level 8. Then the government won’t be able to say anything since there will be an alternative system. But the best thing is to go moderately well. know?”

“It’s still like that.”

“Don’t be rude.”

It’s true. If it hadn’t gone well, I would have just broken his neck.

These days, it seems like no one understands my sincerity.

“To be honest, I think there are too many people telling us not to do this or that.”

“Because that’s why the organization is maintained.”

“It’s difficult.”

“Even at home, your parents tell you not to do this or that. No, why do I have to teach you this in the first place? “Am I your babysitter?”

“I think you would do well as a babysitter.”

“I have no intention of doing it. get out.”

I came out as if I was being kicked out. The eyes of the National Defense Bureau hunters, each doing their own thing, gathered together. Is it because they caught Kim Young-hwan like a rat? My perspective was different from before. In the midst of it all, Dahyun Jeong approached me with worry on her face.

“Junho, can you give me a moment?”

“yes.”

We headed to the cafe on the first floor. After the drinks came out, Jeong Da-hyun, who was fiddling with the mug and hesitating, bowed her head to me.

“sorry.”

“What do you mean?”

“As the gunner, I should have raised the objection first. But Junho made him step forward.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“No, Honorary Minister Kim Young-hwan is a narrow-minded person, and since he clashed with Mr. Jun-ho, he will seek revenge.”

The word revenge was on the same level as the word suicide to me.

Of all the people who came to take revenge on me, not a single one has returned alive.

There is no reason for me to refuse when the obnoxious old man comes to kill me.

“How are you talking about revenge?”

“It may be several things. In the meantime, he was a man who spoke a lot about his greed for power and his evil mentality. “There is a high possibility that they will put a brake on the way you do things or get promoted.”

“There won’t be any damage.”

After receiving the restorative medicine from Lee Se-hee, the number of cases of excessive suppression decreased significantly, and I had no particular desire for promotion.

However, I just think that as a level 9 civil servant hunter, he should be treated appropriately for his skills rather than staying quiet.

“I’m embarrassed, but this is not my expertise, so it’s not easy to help Junho.”

“it’s okay.”

“But I think Sehee can give you some advice for Junho.”

“Team leader Lee Se-hee?”

“Sehee is not only an excellent awakened person, but also a resourceful person, so she exerts the greatest influence on the Holy Guild. “How about talking to Sehee?”

Jeong Da-hyun’s eyes toward me were full of regret and worry.

It really doesn’t matter.

However, I think the resourceful Sehee Lee can help me with my current concerns.

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to ask for some advice.

“All right.”

“I’ll contact Sehee.”

* * *

Regardless of the conflict that occurred in the National Defense Bureau, preparations for the operation to capture Berserker and the Puppet Master were completed.

I was classified as a reserve unit, not a strike unit. This was a measure taken out of concern for unnecessary conflict on the field as he clashed with Kim Young-hwan, the biggest player in the team.

But I broke my arm, do you think I can fight properly?

I’ll take care of it anyway since it’s my job, but in case someone tackles me, I’ll have to insist that my old man’s bones are so weak that they’re broken.

Apart from the mobilization of state-sponsored hunters, the plan to reduce the number of hunts failed. It was the result of all kinds of negative words being used by large guilds, such as economic recession, employment difficulties, and management crisis. Instead, it was decided to join forces in mobilizing reserve forces and cooperating in establishing a siege network.

So Yunhee also went hunting as planned.

“You have to be careful.”

“okay.”

As the names of the two villains emerged, the activities of the villains lurking in the outskirts of the city also became more active. As the number of attacks increased, the villain response teams in each region also became busier.

There was even an official document stating that if you resist, you can be killed on the spot.

“Send a signal if anything happens.”

“I hope that doesn’t happen. “If you keep saying things like that, it sounds like something is going to happen.”

“That’s not it.”

“I know. anyway! Now that I’m all grown up, I’ll try to get through it with my own strength. “Trust your younger brother, you old man.”

“okay.”

It seems that the older brother feels like he has grown up when he sees Yoon-hee’s bold appearance, but at the same time he cannot shake off his worries.

I just need to get married well.

I wish I could bring a boyfriend who can block just three attacks from me, no more, no less.

After getting ready, Yunhee and I went outside together. Today the destination was the same.

“But what happened to you suddenly?”

“I have an appointment with Lee Se-hee.”

“What’s going on?”

“Counseling for personal concerns. “Why do you look like that?”

Yunhee’s expression towards me was bizarre.

“Your brother is consulting?”

“why?”

“No, from what I’ve seen of you, I think you don’t need counseling and just use your hands first.”

“That’s a villain.”

“That’s what you’ve been like so far.”

“I guess you don’t know that I’m the one who caught the most villains in the National Defense Bureau.

“I don’t think there are many people who know you as well as I do. Anyway, good idea. “This team leader will be able to guide my brother to the right path.”

My brother says I look like a villain. Since I only deal with monsters, I speak as I please.

Meanwhile, our car arrived at the Holy Guild. When I finished parking and went up, Dahyun Jeong, who had arrived first, approached me.

“Oh, Dahyun?”

“hi.”

“Why you too? “What’s really going on?”

“not a big deal. “Just a simple consultation.”

“You didn’t do something big wrong, right?”

“······.”

“huh?”

I don’t know why Jeong Da-hyun is silent over there.

“Oh no. nothing. “Trust me.”

“Didn’t you hear that you can’t lie? “It’s really suspicious right now, isn’t it?”

“It’s not really…”

“If I didn’t go up right away, I would have caught it, but I’m busy so I’ll go. “You’ll tell me later?”

“okay.”

When Yoonhee disappeared, Jeong Dahyun breathed a sigh of relief. Then he checked his smartphone and said to me.

“Sehee can come up right away.”

We headed to Sehee Lee’s office.

Unlike before, Lee Se-hee, wearing full makeup, greeted us early in the morning today.

“Welcome. I was quite surprised when two people suddenly said they wanted to consult.”

“Sorry I’m busy. “But the only person I can ask for advice is you.”

“Because I don’t want to be trusted. And I was curious about Junho’s work.”

“It’s no big deal.”

“It’s a big deal. It’s a huge accident. “To the extent that you need to prepare your mind.”

“Hmm, really? But before that.”

Lee Se-hee glanced at Jeong Da-hyeon and smiled mischievously.

“Like I said last time, just treat yourself comfortably as usual. “No one is uncomfortable here.”

“Is that okay?”

“What do you think? “Dahyun, there’s nothing uncomfortable, right?”

“···doesn’t exist.”

Contrary to her words, Jeong Da-hyun’s expression looked somewhat uncomfortable. Is it because you hate informal language? I think I should treat Dahyun Jeong more politely.

“Now then, will you tell me what happened?”

I told him about my clash with Kim Young-hwan. The conflict occurred because the brakes were put on a somewhat unreasonable operation. And Lee Se-hee made a bewildered expression upon hearing that Jeong Da-hyun was worried about retaliation in the future.

“No, actually Junho caused the accident and he was more carefree? “Aren’t you worried?”

“Not really.”

“By the way, it’s even more surprising that you competed on equal footing with a level 8 superhuman. To be honest, I thought Junho would reach level 8 within a few years. I was also mentally preparing. But it was level 8?”

“I haven’t measured it yet, so it’s level 7.”

“···Does this make common sense? “I’m in my 20s and I’ve never heard of level 8?”

“The first record is in the United States.”

“He’s 30 in Korean age. “I knew it was great, but I didn’t know that I would get so involved with that nasty old man.”

Lee Se-hee drank tea repeatedly as if her throat was burning.

I was going to say that I broke Kim Young-hwan’s arm bone, but I held back because I thought Jeong Da-hyun would faint.

“Junho, you need to answer my questions honestly. “Really.”

“I’m not a villain.”

“I never even thought about that? “Anyway, why did you become a civil servant hunter?”

The two pairs of eyes looking at me were full of curiosity. I looked back from the time I returned to the past, remembered why I chose to become a civil servant hunter, and answered.

“It was my mom’s request. My father also agreed. And I chose it because I thought it would be easy to work with.”

“······.”

I said it honestly, but what came back was a look full of disbelief.

“It’s true.”

“That’s it?”

“okay.”

“If Junho wanted to, he could have taken a down payment of several billion won right away?”

“You have to work for what you get.”

“That’s true, but if you were at Junho’s level, it wouldn’t have been that difficult.”

Lee Se-hee sighed heavily. Even Jeong Da-hyun, who had brought me into the National Defense Bureau, looked blank. Is it really that surprising?

“I thought there was an incredible reason that I couldn’t figure out until now. Dahyun, did you know?”

“I didn’t know either. “I thought it was just a throwaway reason, and even if there was a reason, I thought there must be some story…”

“The story was a recommendation from my parents.”

Lee Se-hee looked somewhat despondent.

“I did it because I was told to, so I don’t think I have any regrets. “It hasn’t been that long since I became a civil servant hunter.”

“Sehee, you can’t believe it…”

Lee Se-hee, who ignored Da-hyun Jeong’s interfering words, spoke to me.

“There are two solutions. First, quit being a civil servant hunter. The second is to be officially recognized as level 8 as soon as possible as a member of the National Defense Bureau. These two directions will be very different. The direction will be determined depending on what Junho wants. Junho, what do you want most as a hunter?”

“······.”

What do I truly want?

What I want in life is a peaceful life for my family. That is currently in progress, so what I need most is the authority to freely carry out public affairs as a civil servant hunter.

I wish there would be less work.

As a result, it came down to one thing that I needed to do in order to do what I wanted to do.

“Privilege of non-arrest.”

I felt like I could do my job really well if I had this.
