The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity Chapter 55

Episode 55

Anna Christine countered James Reed’s words.

“What does it matter that he’s an expunger? “Isn’t that actually a good thing?”

People’s eyes focused on her.

“If you look at the actions of the Eradicator, it is simple. ‘After evaporating the villain organization that was operating secretly in Ansan, he disappeared. A similar copycat crime occurred afterward, but it is presumed that it was not an expunger.’ The Eradicator has only appeared once, and even that only wiped out a villain organization. Is it because you killed the vice mayor? We should criticize him for being with the villain organization in the first place. “It’s hasty to call the Eradicator a villain.”

“We call people who act as they please outside the control of the Anna nation a villain.”

“I think differently. Global trends are increasingly tightening the grip on awakened people. This is encouraging the league’s ideas to flourish. You have to look broadly. If you say this doesn’t work and that doesn’t work, you’ll end up with nothing but a villain, right? “This is behavior that the league is encouraging.”

“The league…”

“Now, we’re not talking about the league, are we?”

Anna Christine and James Reed took a step back due to the Vice President’s timely intervention.

“Does Christine still feel the need to recruit Choi Jun-ho?”

“We should actually bring more. “Headbreaker and Eradicator are two completely different nicknames, which means there is a high possibility that he is a dual gift user.”

“···It is true that there is no disagreement about his talent.”

Even James Reed, who was opposed to Choi Jun-ho’s recruitment, left a high praise for his talent.

It probably means that the talent is real.

It’s hard to believe that the talent that could make one the best doesn’t come from the United States. Although the Vice President felt disappointed, he decided to take comfort in the fact that he did not appear in a virtual enemy country.

The Vice President said after gathering his thoughts.

“Here’s what I think. America is large and there are many places to protect. We must attract talented awakeners to protect one more citizen. Even if the past is a little difficult, it is for the benefit of the United States.”

“I agree.”

“In that sense, Choi Jun-ho is an awakened person with talent. Even if he is an Eradicator, if he can kill more monsters, we should bring him in. If they are not expungers, we have to bring them in even more. The high possibility of becoming a villain is only a possibility, and it is the think tank’s job to prevent that from happening. We can do it.”

“······.”

“James.”

“I just conveyed my concerns. “I am not dissatisfied with the Vice President’s decision.”

“great. “I will leave contact with Choi Jun-ho to Christine.”

“I’ll do my best.”

The Vice President, who had finished directing traffic, nodded.

“I will talk to the president tomorrow.”

*

The next day, the President and the Vice President of the United States had a private meeting at the Blue House.

“The power of the Republic of Korea is always surprising. “I was impressed.”

“The only thing we can offer in this small land is people. “I was just faithful to my duty.”

“The exchange match was also impressive. Yang, in particular, seemed like he would be a promising talent in the future. “The students who came to this exchange event must have gained a lot of enlightenment.”

“It’s the same for us. “I think it was an opportunity for students to realize the walls of the world and become more motivated.”

The atmosphere of the conversation was friendly.

Even that was just a made-up story, and there was fierce targeting going on behind the scenes.

‘What’s on your mind?’

The President raised his guard because he thought there might be a reason why the Vice President suddenly requested a meeting.

There was some light talk about personal matters, but the Vice President was the first to reveal his true feelings.

“I heard that a level 8 villain has appeared the other day.”

“Are you talking about Berserker? Fortunately, it wasn’t a villain that posed a major threat.”

“I’m talking about Eraser. “Did you say eraser in Korean?”

The President narrowed his eyes and put down the teacup he was holding.

“···This is a villain who only appeared once. Is there a reason you’re mentioning it?”

“I was concerned that we could not find it in a place with a tight border network like Korea.”

“It’s been quiet since it first appeared, so it’s okay.”

“Is it okay to say that no traces were found?”

“So, are you saying we should try to find the Eradicator together?”

“To put it bluntly, that’s true.”

Why the Eradicator who didn’t even appear?

The vice president’s actions actually fueled suspicion.

It was clear there was something there.

“I don’t know if there’s any reason to do that.”

“Our analysis is that the expunger may be a hunter who has become deeply embedded in society.”

“Hehe, anyway, he is a villain who is estimated to be level 8.”

“Isn’t there a level 8 superhuman that appeared recently?”

“······.”

Unlike the President’s stiff expression, the Vice President smiled leisurely.

“According to our analysis, Superhuman Choi Jun-ho may be an eraser.”

“This is an issue that could lead to a big dispute.”

“We are still at the stage of suspicion. We will provide analysis accordingly. I am giving this to you purely out of a desire for you to know without any other selfish interests, so I hope there is no misunderstanding. And when you decide, please tell me. “As allies, we will do our best to cooperate.”

The President relaxed his expression and smiled.

“thank you. I will take note. “I will not forget America’s kindness.”

“Aren’t we eternal allies?”

“That’s right. “We are eternal allies.”

The two ended the conversation with smiles, hiding their knives from each other.

*

“······.”

Cheon Myeong-guk, who had been summoned by the President, quietly nodded after hearing the conversation between him and the Vice President.

“What do you think?”

“It is a reasonable assumption. “There is also a report submitted to the President.”

“It was like that. So I said it as a joke.”

“I was very surprised that you seemed sincere.”

“Is that so? Anyway, looking at America’s scent, I guess he’s just jealous, right?”

“The inaction of the Eradicator deserves more attention than its danger. It is a proven fact that if two people are the same person, they can exert level 8 power in two directions with the Dual Gift. perhaps······.”

“Tell me.”

“The work may have come about because Choi Jun-ho was seen as the person closest to level 9.”

Level 9.

This is a level that has never appeared yet.

We are at the stage where we can only guess how great that strength will be.

An unknown state where we have no idea how to classify or measure it.

But one thing is clear.

The country with level 9 superhumans will be the country closest to world hegemony.

Could it be that you were watching all the way there?

The President felt goosebumps rising.

“What should I do if it turns out that I am an eraser? Should I be arrested?”

“Are you serious?”

“I’m kidding. Of course it should be buried. Could it be that the dead vice mayor will let go of Choi Jun-ho just because it is our party? “If you look at the value alone, there’s no comparison.”

“······.”

“But they can move to manipulate our public opinion in the United States. So, change the image of the Eradicator behind the scenes. “As a dark hero who took down a villain organization and saved human trafficking victims.”

“All right.”

The President laughed as he watched Cheon Myeong-guk move immediately.

“I’m going to have to put a lot of spit on him so he can’t be tricked. “No, should I spit at all?”

It was something I was seriously concerned about.

*

As the American delegation was leaving its final event, I was welcoming Lee Se-hee, who was visiting the National Guard.

“How was the exchange match?”

“The level was higher than I thought.”

“Because it is the most powerful country in the world. They train them in much more detail than we do and give them practical experience at an early age. Otherwise, we won’t be able to handle the number of monsters.”

“Because there is a lot of land to protect.”

“that’s right.”

The larger the territory of a large country, the more places there are to protect, so the awakened ones inevitably have no choice but to aim for actual combat.

In particular, in cases where the territory was large and the population was small, the actual controlled area was reduced to less than 20% in some places.

“You came to talk about Heartwalker?”

“yes. “Heartwalker’s mother is not in good condition.”

“In what sense?”

“It is too late to receive treatment. Since the treatment I was receiving in Busan was also a narcotic drug, the side effects were also overlapping…”

Lee Se-hee explained that in fact, the only way to provide life-sustaining treatment was to provide treatment.

Is it too late?

I wasn’t particularly impressed by this. Because it was the best I could do. Even if Oh Jong-su were in the same situation, I would have felt the same way.

“If that’s the best, there’s nothing we can do.”

“And speaking of Kim Jonghyun…”

“Speak comfortably.”

“I don’t have a good work attitude.”

Lee Se-hee said that Heartwalker has an excessively free-spirited work attitude and does not follow his superiors’ instructions at all, making him a nuisance to the research institute.

“I have the acumen and dexterity to make up for it, but I never know when an accident will happen.”

“That’s a problem.”

“yes.”

Since I brought Heartwalker, he was speaking purely based on my perception.

“The reason I brought him here is because I like his sharp eyes and dexterity.”

“I’m sure you have talent.”

“But there’s no need to use it if it’s more of a hindrance than a help. “If the loss is greater than the gain, please contact me.”

“Yes, thank you.”

Only then did Lee Se-hee’s expression brighten.

After explaining the progress of the new drug, he moved on to processing methods.

They say that the progress I have made has increased noticeably, as if bringing in Heartwalker was effective.

Unlike me, who pushes with an incredible amount of force, he relies on delicacy and sense. It is Lee Se-hee’s job to make this universal. And based on the samples created by Heartwalker, considerable progress has been made and commercialization is underway.

“You will have to be very prepared soon.”

“What are you prepared for?”

“A huge villain will come looking for Junho.”

“If you kill me, that’s enough.

“I can never kill you.”

Lee Se-hee smiled confidently.

“It’s the villain called taxes.”

Lee Se-hee explained that if the processing method becomes popular, licenses will be sold all over the world, so the amount of money that will fall to me will be enormous.

The Shinsung group will be even more successful.

Sehee Lee recommended that I set up a corporation as a way to save taxes.

It’s different from what I think.

“Just pay it all.”

“yes? Still, you have to save money…”

“Why? it’s okay.”

Since I already had enough money to last my entire life, I didn’t want to go back and forth between legal and illegal ways to save on taxes.

If I have time to think about it, it would be beneficial for me to catch one more monster.

Rather, if you pay all your taxes, you can proudly defeat the villain.

“If you think like that, you can’t help it.”

“Rather, I’m concerned about something else.”

I asked if I should give some of my share to Heartwalker, but Lee Se-hee shook her head firmly.

“I think it’s early. “Why not watch the sales happen and make decisions slowly?”

“If that’s the case. But can it make that much money?”

“yes.”

He said that it is a processing method that can increase the efficiency of a monster’s heart, so it is a method that everyone would want.

At that time, a knock was heard outside, and the door opened before I could answer.

The person coming in was Anna Christine. How did you get into the National Protective Service?

The person who answered the question was Jung Joo-ho, who was smiling in the background. When he made eye contact with me, he gave me a thumbs up and then turned away.

“Hi Junho. “There was Princess Lee.”

“How do I get here?”

“I came to see Junho, and the director will show you around.”

Anna Christine, smiling, quickly sat down next to me.

Lee Se-hee’s eyebrows twitched.

“Why are you sitting there?”

“I have something to say to Junho? “And I thought it would distract people’s attention if I sat next to Princess Lee.”

“…I don’t like it.”

“How can you feel the same way as me?”

I felt it last time too, but it didn’t seem like the two were getting along very well.

I went out to stop traffic.

“I’m talking about this, so it would be nice if you could come in after everything is finished.”

“ah! I see. I thought it was all over because the director guided me. “Princess Lee Sorry.”

“······.”

Just looking at it, Lee Se-hee seemed to be in a bad mood.

As Anna Christine winks and goes out, Lee Se-hee sighs.

“phew! “I can’t calm down when I look at that outrageous thing.”

“It’s my pace.”

“Junho, that woman is a real monster, so be careful.”

“I will go with you when the mission leaves anyway.”

“Well, maybe I said something for no reason. But one thing must be clear.”

Lee Se-hee made a meaningful expression.

“That woman will do whatever it takes to get Junho to come to the United States. and.”

The smile on my lips deepens.

“It will fail miserably.”

But I don’t know why I want to die.

*

Anna Christine, who was waiting outside the meeting room, waved at Sehee Lee coming out.

“Are we finished talking? It finished early. Or maybe you didn’t have anything to talk about.”

“We’ve already had a pretty deep conversation. “It was about various things you might not know.”

“is it so?”

“These are sticky stories that can never be separated from me.”

There was nothing in the world as tough as a relationship tied to money.

It was a bait thrown to mislead people, but Anna Christine remained calm.

“does not matter. A man’s past is a trace that tells us that he is attractive. “I also want to leave a lot of traces in those traces.”

“···Anna, I know what your purpose is. But it won’t be easy.”

“You don’t know that. “Even men who are infinitely cold-hearted judge something else at a critical moment.”

“We’ll see.”

Lee Se-hee left the room with a cold wind blowing on her face, and Anna Christine moistened her lips with her tongue and quickly checked her makeup before entering the meeting room. Choi Jun-ho appeared.

He always had an attractive face. In addition to this, he has the skills to establish himself as the world’s best in the future. I’ve used the honey trap on countless targets, but this is the first time I’ve encountered an opponent I’ve been so intrigued by.

So I really wanted it.

“Is there something you want to say?”

“Yes, I heard that Junho signed a regular contract with the Korean government. “I was wondering if you had any plans for next time.”

“Not even half a year has passed since the contract was signed.”

“But wouldn’t it be better to make plans for the future?”

Choi Jun-ho stared at his face. I felt like my face was getting hot for no reason. Maybe you can see it turning red. I should have put on a bit more makeup.

“Are you asking me to come to America?”

“To put it bluntly, yes. “I hope Junho comes to America and can freely do whatever he wants.”

Anna Christine listed the good things about coming to the United States.

“More than anything, there is freedom. “This is something Junho needs.”

“Be free…”

“Your freedom. It is different from Korea, where much of it is restricted by law. Freedom, treatment, and respect. And dating.”

Anna Christine said that and smiled. After the last disastrous failure, I calmly recovered and waited for today to come.

This man is never tempted by what is right in front of him. You need to build up goodwill step by step and build trust that will never be broken.

It was Lee Se-hee who established that status as a business partner in a short period of time. There’s no reason why she can’t do what she accomplished.

“America isn’t bad either.”

“I’m not asking you to make a decision right away. “This means asking that the United States be taken into consideration when the contract is slowly concluded.”

“It won’t be difficult. “Sure.”

“Instead, there may be good things about making decisions faster.”

Anna Christine grabbed the front buckle and opened it slightly. It’s a more blatant temptation than the first time. You can either come over it or not. Even if only an afterimage is left, it is a great success.

I felt eyes on me. It’s a success. No matter how cold he was, a man was still a man.

It was a time to praise myself.

“however.”

“yes.”

“How old will you be when my contract ends?”

“······.”

Anna Christine’s expression hardened at the sudden attack.

*

The American delegation returned.

Although it was a short period of time, my visit to the United States left me with many things.

In particular, this guy, James Reed, spoke in broken Korean and pretended to be innocent, but I felt like he was a smart raccoon. He was trying to look me over, but he didn’t seem to know that curiosity could shorten one’s life.

Anna Christine’s suggestion seemed like it would be a useful card in the future.

Aside from that, while looking at the vice president and senators, I felt that it was a fairly systematic and rational system.

In the exchange match, Yang Joo-hyuk stood out, and Go Myeong-hak, who kept thanking him for being a complete reformer, made me feel dumbfounded.

“This is the next problem.”

“China will never go easy on this.”

As the President and Cheon Myeong-guk were talking, they looked at me with eyes full of worry.

Next to the US is a visit to China.

China added a lot of demands from the beginning, and one of them was asking me to come meet them.

I gladly accepted the offer. I wanted to see what kind of guys they were.

“Please do me a favor.”

“yes.”

The Chinese delegation’s visit was three days after the United States left.

The scale was much larger than that of the United States. The leader who led them was Zhang Zedong, China’s superman and guardian of the three northeastern provinces.

He was a man who looked older than his age, looking to be in his early 40s, with angular sports hair and sharp eyes.

When he died by my hand, he looked like that and was about 20 years older. It was a bit messy back then, but it’s still not normal now.

He got off the plane first, came over to where I was, and said.

“Are you that immature superhuman?”

If you came to Korea, you would talk in Korean.

Even if I didn’t know what was being said, I could tell the meaning just by looking at the changes in the expressions around me.

I said with a grin.

“The guy who was exiled to the border is crazy after breathing the city air and runs wild.”

The interpreter conveyed my instructions to interpret without adding or subtracting.

“dare······!”

As if he had heard the message correctly, Zhang Zedong’s expression hardened, his eyes lit up with murder, and he put out his hand first.

As if he had made up his mind, a hand suddenly reached my face and swept me as if clawing.

As I slightly tilted my head to avoid it, a hand bent its orbit and aimed for my neck.

I raised my left hand and tried to grab his wrist, but he threw it away right away. I tried to grab his wrist, ignoring the repulsion.

The fierce force collided and an attack and defense went back and forth. I persistently followed the hand that was targeting me like a snake. In the end, after five attacks, Zhang Zedong’s wrist was caught in my hand.

Lots of cards!

Jiang Zedong’s force desperately resisted the mines trying to penetrate inside. However, the mine digging speed was faster. Among the gifts that destroy opponents, none are as persistent as mines.

Finally, just as the mine was about to penetrate into the skin, Zhang Zedong’s body became blurred and disappeared, appearing at the very back of the delegation.

It was his gift transfer. The transference I have was obtained by killing him in my last life.

I just watched it without bothering to chase it.

“Please tell me that you enjoyed looking at the gift.”

The guy’s expression hardened when he heard what I said.

I don’t mind if I end this here.

Are you scared? If you’re not scared, then go for it.

But the guy didn’t react anymore.

“···Complete the schedule.”

Too bad.
