The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity Chapter 73

Episode 73:

After returning to the Blue House that way, I mentioned my thoughts to Cheon Myeong-guk about what had happened a little while ago.

“······.”

Cheon Myeong-guk’s expression, which he had been fond of saying that there were no victims due to the initial call, hardened.

“First of all, I’m sorry you saw this in a bad way. I had no idea that blind spots in welfare would arise like this. However, if I were to make an excuse, it is a phenomenon caused by preventive measures to prevent indiscriminate abuse. “We will make suggestions for improvement.”

Cheon Myeong-guk said that in this case, the mother of the children who ran away cooperated with the villain or had a fake marriage in the first place.

Come to think of it, I didn’t confirm whether she was the biological mother.

This is something I have also heard from public officials in charge of the indiscriminate abuse of welfare benefits.

This is something I agree with.

“There are holes in policies everywhere.”

There are two sides to everything.

Resources are limited and blind spots occur if qualifications are rigorously reviewed.

In this era where monsters and villains are rampant, resources are scarce and people who want to have them are plentiful. It is perhaps natural for desperate people to prepare thoroughly and receive support.

Cheon Myeong-guk’s gaze towards me became cautious.

“Is there anything else you would like?”

“In my view, the support provided by the government is sufficient. “The person actually doing the work was not very good at it due to regulations, but his response was excellent.”

“That’s a good thing.”

In the end, support for the underprivileged was possible only by revising the manual.

We just need to look more closely and strengthen the provisions.

The problem is next.

I handed the lunch box I received from the local office to Cheon Myeong-guk.

“This······?”

“This is a lunch box provided to the underprivileged.”

“It’s quite poor.”

Cheon Myeong-guk muttered while drooling. You would be even more surprised if you knew the price. So I also told them the price.

“They say it’s 6,000 won.”

“What a piece of shit! “They didn’t even give me this to the reserve forces!”

A completely unexpected reaction emerged.

Cheon Myeong-guk said with a humble expression upon my gaze.

“I am from the reservist generation. In the past, reservists were also given miserable meals. “Still, our lunch box came out just fine, but this is a bit harsh.”

Cheon Myeong-guk said that the reservist lunch box also cost 6,000 won.

The quality was okay even though it seemed a bit expensive. He said that inflation should be taken into consideration, but this is a bit extreme.

By the way, you’re a reserve force. It was a system that disappeared in the past as the number of monsters increased.

That was all I heard when my father occasionally talked about the military.

Well, I remember not having anything good to say.

Anyway, Cheon Myeong-guk was also angry, so it became easier to talk.

“From my perspective, this is the biggest problem.”

What I heard was soup. It looks just like soybean paste soup. But the moment I tasted it, I was astonished.

“This is an insult to miso soup.”

How dare you make soybean paste soup like this! Even if I make it myself, I can make it more delicious at a cheaper price.

“Well, it’s shit soup.”

Cheon Myeong-guk also shed tears and expressed his agreement.

Dung soup? Even though the expression was dirty, it was the perfect expression.

This lunch box is supported with national money. When I told him that I was going to visit the lunch box company to find out what they were thinking when making this, Cheon Myeong-guk was shocked.

“Why don’t you think about it some more?”

“Why?”

All you have to do is go to the place that made the lunch box and find out how this lunch box can cost 6,000 won.

Of course, I also do not deny that it is a margin.

Companies are all trying to make a living, so it is natural for them to make a profit. Right now, the cost of just the Big Bang series is ridiculous. That’s why the profit margin is high.

Nevertheless, consumers purchase because they think the price is ‘reasonable’. No matter how high the margin is, it doesn’t matter as long as it’s a product that consumers buy.

But would anyone buy this lunch box for 6,000 won? Right now, the quality of the 3,800 won lunch boxes at convenience stores seems to be better.

From my perspective, if this lunch box costs 2,500 won and my balance is 2,500 won, if this is the only lunch box left, I would think about it for about 30 minutes and then close my eyes and buy it.

“Wouldn’t it be better to share the top first? “I will report to the President.”

I said this with the intention of not drawing attention, but Cheon Myeong-guk was actually escalating the incident.

Isn’t this a trivial matter for the president to know?

“There’s no need to do that…”

“I will report it right away. Please wait.”

Cheon Myeong-guk disappeared at an incredible speed and then popped his head out again.

“You can’t go first.”

“······.”

Are you that ugly?

How rational am I?

I felt a little sad because I felt like I wasn’t being trusted.

A fairly long conversation has ended.

The president, who had succeeded in slowing Choi Jun-ho’s movements, let out a long sigh of relief.

“It finally exploded.”

“sorry. “I tried to solve it on my own, but it wasn’t enough.”

“No, it was the right decision. If I hadn’t stopped him, he would have gone straight to his destination. And it’s scary to think what would have happened. Director Cheon’s judgment prevented a massacre in the middle of Seoul.”

“···thank you.”

The president’s words were Cheon Myeong-guk’s thoughts.

It was Choi Jun-ho who killed the chief prosecutor at the Central Investigation Department without a moment of hesitation. Shutting down a lunch box company would be easier than flipping the palm of your hand.

Above all, looking at the 6,000 won lunch box that Choi Jun-ho presented, it was clear that he ate it from the middle.

The problem is that this is a support project conducted by the Seoul Metropolitan Government.

Considering Choi Jun-ho’s thinking, it is the Seoul Metropolitan Government’s decision to select the company, and the final decision maker is the Mayor of Seoul.

For reference, the mayor of Seoul is an influential politician from the ruling party.

The President persuaded Choi Jun-ho by promising Seoul City’s cooperation on this issue.

This is best.

“I thought faithful tax payment would make a big contribution to finances, but unexpected side effects are emerging.”

“What would you like to do?”

“This is something so obvious that it’s hard to say anything. “Even if I play around, I still eat it.”

I don’t know how the president ended up having the role of persuading superhumans.

However, this phenomenon was predicted the moment Busan City was touched.

The problem was that the timing was too fast.

And in this case, one piece of information was accumulated.

Choi Jun-ho is serious about food.

However, Cheon Myung-guk expressed concerns in other areas.

“Mayor Han Jeong-moon may object.”

“What if there is a backlash? Like Yoo Seong-su, he will get brain washed and die after spreading corruption. Protesting isn’t important right now. And even if my son of a bitch rebels against it.”

While Yoo Seong-soo was the mayor of Busan and a strong presidential candidate for the opposition party, Han Jeong-moon was the mayor of Seoul and a strong presidential candidate for the ruling party.

With the emergence of monsters and the concentration of city functions, the status of regional local government heads rose several levels.

Seoul City is an exception here, and the government is replacing many of Seoul City’s functions.

As a result, unlike other cities with strong independence, they tend to be subordinate to the government.

It wasn’t a position to be ignored like this, but the opponent was bad.

“Ignore the opposition and just think about suppressing it early.”

“yes.”

“First of all, we have to crack down on it.”

The President thought for a moment. After much deliberation, he made a decision and gave an order to Cheon Myeong-guk.

“Call Ji Chang-yong and Han Jeong-moon. Even if my limbs burn, I have to keep my head from exploding.”

“I will contact you right away.”

Ji Chang-yong was a four-term ruling party representative, and Han Jeong-moon is the mayor of Seoul.

Two people who can be said to be powerful figures in the ruling party hastily gathered at the Blue House.

What has changed for me after bringing Jin Se-jeong into the team is that I now have a hurdle in taking action.

I don’t think that’s a bad thing.

If I had tried to force my actions, I wouldn’t have done it regardless of whether I was competent or not.

As if Jin Se-jeong had sensed my thoughts, she clearly understood the line I had drawn and did not cross it.

“I never block a superhuman’s decision. The charm of Choin is that he doesn’t look back and doesn’t hold back. I don’t have the talent to stop that, and I shouldn’t. But we need to make it stand out a little more.”

“how?”

Jin Se-jeong told me bluntly that I needed to act more refinedly.

“There is definitely corruption in the process of selecting a lunch box company. However, if you go through all of this, you will end up facing the enemy alone. They are a community of interests that share political life. It is a huge force that represents the power of the country. Superhumans can win on their own, but they have the power to make things difficult. So, first of all, we need to turn public opinion on the Adept’s side and neutralize him from interfering with us. “It divides the community.”

“It’s public opinion…”

In the past, I didn’t care about that, but after experiencing Jin Se-jeong’s magic and seeing the article section being filled with comments supporting me, my thoughts changed.

Although I couldn’t confirm the reality, it was reassuring to know that the number of allies was increasing.

However, most of the comments say they love their brother, but if you look at the age distribution, the majority are in their 30s. What is this? Even if you ask Jin Se-jeong, he says that’s how it is. This is a puzzling point that cannot be resolved.

“They are people who understand that Superhuman Choi Jun-ho’s anger is justified.”

…So, I couldn’t resist Jin Se-jeong’s recommendation and ended up doing a lunch box mukbang.

Is this correct?

really?

At first I had no expectations at all.

Still, I thought it was a process of getting a few people watching to be on my side, but 300,000 people are watching a broadcast where I only eat a packed lunch…?

This is a live broadcast.

“We are all people who support Superhuman Choi Jun-ho.”

Jin Se-jeong Is she a wizard?

Jin Se-jeong was more amazing than Argos, who wanted to turn the world upside down.

What kind of magic is this?

The comment section was filled with anger. They also had similar thoughts as me.

All I said on the broadcast was that this lunch box wasn’t worth 6,000 won. That was all I ate.

The effect of investing 30 minutes was truly powerful.

The article was already coming out.

The title that stood out among them was, of course, Go Ye-jin.

“Now you can do whatever you want, Adept. “Why are you doing this?”

“Just because I’m trustworthy.”

“Thank you for your trust.”

Jin Se-jeong, who had a small body, felt very big.

When I headed to Seoul City Hall, the person who came to meet me was the deputy mayor of the city hall.

“I am Mayor Ham Guk-ki. “It is an honor to meet you.”

“This is Junho Choi.”

This is the name in the organized person column.

Ham Guoqi bowed his head.

“First of all, I apologize for causing concern to Superin Choi Junho.”

“it’s okay.”

Anyway, what I felt was at a very small level. All I wanted to do was figure out how something like this happened.

How much tax do I pay to the government and how much local tax do I pay to the city of Seoul?

Isn’t it natural to wonder how those taxes are spent?

“What I want to know is the process of selecting a lunch box company.”

“Ah yes. “That was so long ago.”

“Don’t you have any data?”

“No, there is. But it’s so vague. haha!”

He smiles awkwardly and looks at me. That alone was enough to tell what kind of thoughts he had.

I guess I’m thinking of getting over it. It was exactly as expected.

“If it’s a long time ago, then this lunch box has been being distributed for a long time.”

“Yes, I think this happened because I trusted him when I entrusted him with the work.”

“That doesn’t even sound like a horse.”

“······.”

Ham Guk-gi’s mouth closed. I heard my head rolling.

Even if I turn public opinion on my side, doesn’t the thinking circuit of the person trying to make excuses change?

“Which department of the lunch box company was selected?”

“That is the department that existed before, but it has now been dismantled and merged.”

“Then we can look around all those departments. Could you please bring me the materials?”

“just······.”

“Vice Mayor.”

“yes.”

“What I want to know is who is involved in the lunch box business. “The reason I’m sitting here right now is to see a solution as quickly as possible, not with the intention of being persuaded by the Vice Mayor’s words.”

After I cut him with a single cut, Hamgukgi could no longer turn his horse around. After calling an employee and asking them to bring the materials, he looked at me and started making excuses.

“At the time, the department received bids and selected a group and company named ‘Sharing Together,’ a civic group. However, in addition to the quality of the lunch box, we also looked at the contribution to the city and the creditworthiness of the company representative…”

“Then we can start by investigating the civic group that selected the company.”

“Does that make sense? Then we will conduct a thorough investigation…”

“Vice Mayor.”

“Yes.”

If you know who was involved, the next step is a breeze. There is no need to wait for the Seoul Metropolitan Government to investigate and bring me information.

And when I remembered the information about the Battle of the States, I didn’t feel the need to hold back any longer.

“The vice mayor was listed as a director of that organization.”

“Oh no! “I belong to another organization. I have nothing to do with it.”

“Then why is your name on it?”

If he had posted his name falsely, he would have taken money from the company, and if he had been affiliated with the company, the vice mayor would have used his power to select the lunch box company and ate it with him.

When you make excuses when the truth has been revealed so clearly, it seems like you think I’m an idiot.

“That’s it…”

Apparently I’m allergic to bullshit.

When I listen to lame excuses, I feel the urge to smash my head unconsciously.

I didn’t feel the need to look any further and used my hand.

“I have a long tongue, but I say bullshit because I want to get rid of how long it is.”

Quad deuk!

“Aaaah!”

When my hand carrying the mine touched the collarbone, there was an eerie cracking sound and Ham Guk-gi, with his shoulders slumped, screamed and fell down.

It’s sad, it’s sad.

Why do you keep making excuses when you know what happened after talking nonsense in front of me?

If I had just admitted my mistake and confessed… well, I think I would have ended up like that.

At the sound of a sound coming from inside, the door opened and people came inside.

There was fear in the gaze directed at me.

After handing over the late-brought data with a wave of my hand, I called my superior, Ham Guk-gi.

“I ask the mayor to come.”

Still, I thought we could talk because we were from the ruling party.

Did the president not speak properly?

If this is going to be the case, it seems better to go right away.

“If you don’t come, I’ll go.”
