Episode 367:
The confrontation between Berserker and Yu Hao ended without much conflict.
Yu Hao expressed his intention to step down, saying that he would care about refugees crossing to the south.
Although he also feels the desire to win, he is the body that leads the nation represented by the Northern Army.
He could no longer move for his own greed.
“Let’s take a look again.”
“As long as I’m safe by then.”
“….”
After hearing Berserker’s self-deprecating words, Yu Hao stared at him and then turned around.
When Yu Hao, the current president and member of the Ten Superhumans, passed away, the awakened people in the government looked at Berserker with awe.
Despite attracting all the attention of those around him, Berserker paid no heed and ordered a cleanup.
And it was time to rest quietly in one place.
“Berserker.”
“what?”
What appeared in front of him was the guy who had come up to the North with him from the Blue House.
Despite his young age, he possessed genius talent and skills.
His name was Yang Joo-hyuk.
Choi Jun-ho tried to kill me because a strange wind came in. When I think about it now, it was an absolutely absurd idea, but the guy who survived and grew from it was also amazing.
“Is it true that Superhuman Choi Jun-ho is alive?”
The guy must have been curious about that fact.
Even after being treated like that, I would never have thought that he would still be a terrible follower of Choi Jun-ho.
‘What a perverted guy.’
On the one hand, I thought that there were many similarities to me.
Of course, he does not follow Choi Jun-ho.
Rather, if I wanted to escape, I wanted to escape.
‘If that happens, would you rather die? ‘That’s not very good either.’
It was a very strange situation.
I’m worried about what happens if I come back alive, but I hope that I come back safely.
“live. “Even if it’s an instant death gift, there’s no way he’ll die.”
“The reason is…”
“There is no such thing as a reason. “This is the confidence I gained after experiencing him for so long.”
“I see.”
A slight disappointment appeared on Yang Joo-hyuk’s face. Berserker, who was looking at the scene intently, uttered a word.
“I hope he comes back alive.”
“He is my role model. “I want to become like Superin Choi Jun-ho.”
“Even after being treated like that?”
“I think he guided me to do well.”
“You believe that?”
“…I’d like to believe so.”
I myself had already entered the stage of confusion.
Berserker laughed while looking at Yang Joo-hyuk, who was still holding out vain hope.
“Keak, you’re dreaming the impossible. But I don’t hate running toward such an impossible dream. “He and I are like that.”
“thank you.”
Yang Joo-hyuk smiled faintly.
“But the world began to doubt his survival. “This will definitely have a big impact.”
“Isn’t the reason Chairman Wei returned because he believed Berserker’s words?”
“I guess it’s still confusing. It won’t last long. Suspicion will demand evidence, and if it continues for a long time, it will not be able to wait any longer and will reveal it.”
Even though he was saying scary things, Berserker’s expression was calm.
When Yang Joo-hyuk heard those words, he felt the strong smell of blood.
If claims clash and each side is unwilling to make concessions, what remains is war.
“In the end, when Choi Jun-ho shows up, the whole situation will be resolved.”
Because I don’t have any doubts about Choi Jun-ho’s death.
“They are the ones who can’t say a word in front of Choi Jun-ho.”
Rather, you should know that the more impatient you are, the more your name will be added to the killing list.
* * *
What happened in Sinuiju was resolved on the Berserker ship, but the situation surrounding the Republic of Korea was going badly in real time.
Not only the Northern Army, but also the Southern Army was fighting over the sea.
Plus, Japan’s declaration of crackdown on smuggling.
Touching on something that both countries had been secretly benefiting from was clearly meant to be an argument.
The highlight was Arnold Hauser, who was appointed as the U.S. Ambassador to Korea.
Known as a resourceful and talented person, he made unusually strong remarks to Cheon Myeong-guk.
Although he was a hawk rather than a dove, this action brought a great shock to the government.
What Arnold wanted was a readjustment of the relationship between the United States and South Korea.
It was said that they wanted to correct the one-sided preferential treatment that Korea was receiving due to Choi Jun-ho.
Blue House staff frowned at his hard-line yet subtly high-handed attitude.
“….”
Although it was a very small possibility, Cheon Myeong-guk, who did not rule it out, listened silently and then brought out the correct opinion.
“When the contract expires, of course it has to be rescheduled. “It’s not right to talk about how much time is left on the contract.”
“The past and present are different laws. “If there was a reason for that in the past, the present must be changed to conditions that suit the present.”
“What if Superhuman Choi Jun-ho returns safely?”
“I think that’s something we need to talk about after Superhuman Choi Jun-ho returns.”
Arnold accepted without the slightest hesitation. I could tell that it was planned from the beginning.
“In the United States, they are convinced that Superhuman Choi Jun-ho is dead.”
“It’s not like that. “I’m praying that Headbreaker returns safely.”
“Do you know what your current actions will mean to him?”
“I will take responsibility for my actions.”
“….”
The air in the intestines was tightened.
The statement just now was like declaring that Choi Jun-ho was dead.
Cheon Myeong-guk sighed inwardly.
Still, I thought it would take a little more time to proceed.
It seems that what was suppressed by Choi Jun-ho was greater than he thought.
‘not good.’
If we are caught up in Arnold’s intentions here, other countries will attack us without mercy.
If the response is even the slightest bit inadequate, it will literally turn into a beehive.
Since I had no intention of letting something like that happen, I had no choice but to respond with a strong tone and a strong attitude.
“We have no intention of rescheduling the contracts we have already signed.”
“It’s a shame. “I thought you would make a wiser decision.”
“Can I say this is the will of the President of the United States?”
“You can think of it as the will of the United States, which made sacrifices for its allies.”
Is that really the case?
Cheon Myeong-guk, who is paying a lot of attention to the U.S. side, knows that President Herbert and Vice President Daniel still believe in Choi Jun-ho’s survival and are trying to persuade those around him.
But regardless of that, when Choi Jun-ho returns, he will be able to take responsibility.
It was confirmed at that level.
Arnold made a strong statement because he thought there was no chance of Choi Jun-ho coming back alive.
Two prides that could not back down were in sharp conflict.
“Superman Choi Jun-ho is alive.”
“You want to believe that.”
“The supernatural phenomena that have occurred in the past year have inevitably occurred in places where only villains are present.”
“There is no evidence that Headbreaker did this.”
“I guess you believe there is a monster that will only pick villains and attack them.”
“…It’s just a coincidence created by a combination of bad luck.”
Even if the words caught your attention for a moment, it meant that it was effective.
In fact, some supernatural phenomena that transcend human limitations have occurred in some places around the world.
The only ones that can cause this phenomenon are divine beasts or monsters that have reached the Plus Plus stage.
However, no traces of divine beasts or monsters were found anywhere. Then, there is only one human being who can create this phenomenon.
Also, the supernatural phenomenon that struck humans several times only hit the place where the villain was.
There is no other coincidence like this.
This is why many people believe that Choi Jun-ho is still alive more than a year after he disappeared.
Cheon Myeong-guk was also betting a great deal on this.
“More than anything, the monsters that Superhuman Choi Jun-ho has tamed are still calm.”
Will those vicious monsters still obey control even though their master is dead?
Because of this, many people believed that Choi Jun-ho was alive.
This is because in the case of the dog, the command given by the owner, ‘Be friendly with the President,’ was still valid.
“That’s…”
“Of course, I understand that there are people who want Superhuman Choi Jun-ho to disappear. “Now that Superhuman Choi Jun-ho is gone, I have a desire to make things right.”
“….”
In explicit words, in explicit words.
When Arnold closed his mouth, Cheon Myeong-guk struck a chord.
“I understand the intention of the United States, which was revealed early in the situation where Choi Jun-ho’s death has not been confirmed.”
“…We will wait for your wise decision.”
The meeting ended with both sides looking uncomfortable.
* * *
Choi Jun-ho is a superman who drives people crazy.
When he existed, so-called fans claimed that Choi Jun-ho’s presence made South Korea the safest country in the world.
In addition, he naturally became self-sufficient by working in both the political and financial worlds.
The impact this had was powerful.
Due to Choi Jun-ho, all villains and demons were hunted, and as the political and business worlds changed themselves, their constitution began to improve.
Where is that?
Surrounding great powers were divided or fell into stagnation, and with the emergence of superhumans who benefited from Choi Jun-ho, Korea emerged as a regional powerhouse representing Northeast Asia.
It does not stop there, but it also includes oil supply from Saudi Arabia and trade with the United States that is close to unilateral preferential treatment.
When Choi Jun-ho existed, South Korea continued to prosper.
On the contrary, they argued that his presence spawned enemies and caused the system to collapse.
The judicial system was rendered ineffective as enemies who were labeled as evil by subjective judgment were mercilessly eliminated. In addition, the hard-line approach has turned neighboring countries into potential enemies.
Even the moon waxes and wanes, and nothing is permanently red, just like the 11 red flowers.
The aftermath is coming as Choi Jun-ho’s disappearance is slowly becoming known.
And when Choi Jun-ho died, I was afraid that the things I had enjoyed until now would disappear.
Yunhee felt that the air surrounding her was strange.
The things she has enjoyed thanks to Choi Jun-ho’s existence have been considerable. The fact that the world’s strongest superhuman was her biological brother provided her with invisible benefits, and she naturally enjoyed them.
But the fact that Choi Jun-ho may be dead made a lot of difference.
Recently, it felt like there were more people who were dead than people who were alive.
I felt that even those who believed that Choi Jun-ho was alive were acting as a defense mechanism, hoping that the things they had enjoyed would not disappear.
“My brother is alive.”
Dahyun Jeong spoke with a confident voice.
That voice contained a stronger faith than his own younger brother.
“Why do you think that?”
“I’m not saying this to comfort you.”
“I think I know that.”
Looking at Jeong Da-hyun’s expression, I could see that she had no doubts about her brother’s death.
Even he, his own younger brother, is in a situation where he is just in case. I was curious as to what the basis for Jeong Da-hyun’s beliefs was.
“Think about your brother’s tendencies.”
“Considering your personality, shouldn’t you have come back?”
“Under normal circumstances, that would have been the case.”
“I guess you think differently.”
“The league subjugation operation must not have been easy even for you.”
“I didn’t even take my sister with me because it was dangerous.”
At that time, Yoon-hee had to expend a lot of mental energy to comfort Jeong Da-hyeon, who was in despair.
In particular, I got goosebumps when I remembered the moment when I had to eat soybean paste stew filled with the heads of all kinds of monsters to relieve my stress with something delicious.
“There may have been injuries. “The injury may have been more severe than we thought.”
“You know very well.”
“Yes, I went to Berserker and asked him a few times.”
“How many times?”
“About 120 times?”
“…I don’t think it was only a few times.”
Dahyun Jeong, who visited me once every three days and asked questions, and Berserker, who accepted and explained it, were all amazing.
“Sehee also said it. “Anomalous phenomena that have been occurring recently.”
“They said it was highly likely that it happened because of my brother.”
Wouldn’t that be even stranger?
It is said that his body has recovered to that extent, but why is he not showing up?
Neither Jeong Da-hyeon nor Lee Se-hee could solve this part.
What is clear is that neither of them suspects their brother’s death.
In particular, Lee Se-hee took advantage of this time to stand firm despite attempts to shake her from all directions and was betting that Choi Jun-ho was alive.
There are even rumors that it is dangerous internally, so if this gamble fails, Shinsung Group will suffer a huge blow.
While Yoonhee continued to think, Dahyun Jeong shared her thoughts.
“My brother doesn’t like showing others his injuries. So I would have treated it over time. “It must have been quite a while since I recovered like that.”
“Going around the world to test whether everything is cured?”
“huh.”
At this level, it was beyond the realm of belief.
Even my own younger brother wasn’t like this.
‘Is it because he’s my younger brother?’
When people around you ask how your relationship is, they say it’s not that you’re close, but rather that you’re just being mean.
“Then I noticed that things were going strangely in my brother’s eyes.”
It was a natural explanation, as if I was watching from the side.
“So?”
“Until now, my brother preferred to use his hands quickly and not give the opponent a chance to respond. “No excuses worked.”
“I died at the hands of my brother.”
“I used to think that was radical, but now I think it’s the right approach.”
As a result, Nachalnyeo was born.
When I saw her mercilessly punishing the villain, I wondered if this was the Jeong Da-hyun I knew.
“In this case, as time passed, it became impossible to follow the existing style. So, pretend it doesn’t matter, step back, and wait until the other person gets caught.”
“I think you’re using the latter method now.”
“huh.”
“But isn’t this prediction too hopeful?”
There were definitely some suspicious circumstances, but there were too many things about my brother’s actions that I couldn’t understand for that to be the case.
“Sehee believes and acts accordingly.”
“…I definitely think there’s something to that.”
However, seeing Lee Se-hee believe in it and take action also created trust that was not there before.
It is the number one conglomerate group in Korea, not anywhere else. There is no way to gamble with the fate of that place without any basis.
“I guess I’m right. Just wait and see, one day, my brother will suddenly appear in front of us with a casual expression on his face.”
I compiled a list of people to kill.
Yunhee felt eerie at the last words.
