The crazy villain regains his sanity - Episode 10
10fury
The sight of a beautiful woman smiling in front of me catches my eye. Her beauty was so overwhelming that it erased the presence of the overbearing bodyguard standing behind her..
Dizzyingly high heels, a black H-line miniskirt that emphasizes the body line, and a barely visible white chiffon blouse stimulate the imagination..
When you have a deadpan expression, you have a haughty feeling that is hard to resist, but when you smile, you draw a soft line and gently disarm the hearts of the opposite sex..
I know the identity of the woman who approached me..
Shinsung Group's second daughter Lee Se-hee.
She is the second daughter of the Shinsung Group Chairman and the heroine who will take control of the Shinsung Group and the Shinsung Guild in the future..
As a charismatic owner and an outstanding awakener, she is also the best celebrity in Korea and has used her influence to increase the market share of weapons produced by the Sacred Guild to a frightening level..
The weapon produced by the Sacred Guild has good performance, but it also has emotion or something..
I didn't even know that the marketing term used in smartphones would be used for the Awakened's weapons..
Her current level is 6.
He was one of the top 10 talented people in the younger generation. However, his skills were not mentioned because they were overshadowed by his gorgeous beauty and cool speaking skills..
“Are you Junho Choi? Can I talk to you for a moment??”
The surrounding gaze gathers. It is a gaze with several meanings. It implicitly came across as pressure, a trend encouraged by Lee Se-hee..
“Do you have anything to do with me??”
“I want to talk to someone who is famous these days..”
“Please sit down..”
“Then thank you.”
Lee Se-hee dragged a chair across from me and sat down, crossing her legs. Once again, I felt the eyes of those around me gathering, but I just stared without paying any attention..
She's like a tarantula, so if you get caught up in the wrong thing, it'll be a hassle for a long time..
“This time we were rude. I should have managed my guild properly, but I think that part was neglected..”
“It doesn't matter if it's resolved well.”
“Still, I'm sorry for putting you in an annoying situation..”
This happened because I broke up the cartel that was secretly going on..
If I hadn't messed with it, it wouldn't have happened..
“Team leader Wang Ju-yeol was Choi Jun-ho's boss. It must not have been easy.”
I guess Lee Se-hee thought that catching my boss, Wang Ju-yeol, would be a burden..
But was this a burden??
To begin with, I was a person with no ups and downs, so I had no hesitation in catching Wang Ju-yeol..
If Director Jeong Joo-ho had been in the ledger, he would have been caught..
When I didn't say anything, Lee Se-hee continued speaking..
“We apologized to the director as this was what happened because of us, and we promised that our sacred guild would provide the weapons used by the National Defense Bureau..”
“This is good news.”
“The reason we can hunt monsters is thanks to the villain task force who maintain security in the city. This is a bit weak..”
Even the way he pushed his hair behind his ears with his hand looked natural..
She was a woman who knew very well how to act and appeal to her charm in order to attract attention and move men. The National Security Bureau officials around her could not take their eyes off Lee Se-hee..
“And I also want to repay Junho..”
“If it's repayment?”
“He removed what could have been a lump, so that's it. When you have time, would you please visit the Holy Guild??”
He looks straight into my eyes and asks in a soft voice. She wouldn't be lying if she thought that what she said should be taken for granted..
“I can roughly understand what your intention is..”
I curled up the corners of my mouth..
“It’s annoying to keep using gifts.”
“······!”
Astonishment spread across Lee Se-hee's face as she stretched out her hand without hesitation..
Before I could reach my hand, the security guard standing behind blocked my path. His muscles swell as if about to burst, and his powerful fist shakes off the mine in my hand..
Research has already been done on the gifts I use. My first attempt failed, but I changed the trajectory of my hand and wrapped it around his arm like a snake..
I was caught up in it, unable to shake off the flashy trajectory change. But the mine didn't break his arm..
“Sigh!”
He opened his eyes wide and swung his opposing fist against the mine that had dug inside, trying to push me away. I grabbed his arm, planted a mine, left myself in the aftermath, stepped back, and watched him quietly..
Once inside, a mine is like a virus. To resolve this, you must crush it with much more force than the force applied or dismantle it with delicate control..
Neither of these options apply, so the bodyguard's choice was to gather the mines running wild inside into one and explode them..
Quack! Quad Deuk!
A mine exploded at one point cleanly broke the bones in both arms..
“Ughhh!”
What should have been completely crushed was stopped by breaking. It was the best decision in a split second..
But there is no way a bodyguard with two broken arms can do his job. As I took a step forward, Lee Se-hee stepped forward..
“sorry. I apologize. I did it because I wanted to impress Junho..”
When I saw him lower his head, I lowered my hand. My guess is that Lee Se-hee's gift was most likely a mental type such as fascination or appeal..
It was true that there was a high probability that he was trying to attract me and drag me into the sacred guild, so I didn't become even more angry. If it had been hypnosis or brainwashing, they would have been more harsh..
“I don't accept it.”
“thank you. Mr. Jinhyung, please use this..”
The bodyguard sprayed the restorative medicine on the broken arm and swallowed the restorative pill. When the broken wound was noticeably healed, she quietly stood behind Lee Se-hee. But there was a faint fear in her eyes as she looked at me..
This is the look I saw a lot when I had a hematoma. In my last life, I would have twisted my neck because I didn't like it, but in this life, I was sane, so I was calm..
Lee Se-hee's face towards me wasn't as relaxed as before..
“You're a lot tougher than I thought..”
“If you don't do anything stupid, nothing like this will happen..”
“It's my fault. I should just say thank you.”
“Being able to quickly understand the situation and make corrections is also a skill. It's commendable just that you didn't drag yourself into the worst situation..”
“···I don't know if I should like this.”
Lee Se-hee's voice was shaken as she shook her head..
“So the remaining business is?”
“It can't be there. I wanted to gently entice him to come to our guild, but I feel like if I do it wrong, my head will break..”
“There is no difference in status even though my head is broken..”
“I want Junho, but I shouldn't attack him when he's unprepared. Anyway, thank you for helping me reorganize my guild. I'll talk about the case next time..”
“······.”
I felt a bit embarrassed when the other person apologized and even reflected on his actions. The solution would have been simple if I had just kept my head down and struggled until the end..
In times like this, I thought about how to end it and came to a conclusion and asked:.
“Should I bear the cost of the restorative medicine??”
“Junho, even 2 years of salary won’t be enough to cover it.?”
“It's expensive.”
“No, then you know that a recovery agent that has that level of effect is cheap? Anyone who sees it will think our premium recovery agent is a rip-off..”
Lee Se-hee's face turned red as if I had touched her. I also knew the value of restorative medicine because it was important to know how quickly it heals..
“Sure, the effect looked good..”
“of course! This is the highest level in the world. A masterpiece among masterpieces created after years of research using the by-products of Korea's top doctors and the most difficult monsters... Ah, that's not what I came to say..”
Lee Se-hee, who had completely lost her pace, ruffled her hair roughly and sighed..
“If I had known this would happen, I would have contacted Dahyun and come..”
“Are you close with Dahyun??”
Now that I think about it, I remembered that Jeong Da-hyeon was in the Holy Guild and then moved to the National Protection Bureau..
“I think we are friendly. Although Dahyun finds me a burden. Really, there was a time when I ate only soybean paste stew for a month to get closer to Dahyun, but he went to the National Defense Bureau to catch a villain, ha.!”
Suddenly, my image of Lee Se-hee improved..
Lee Se-hee, who was mocking herself and playing drums and drums alone, got up from her seat..
“I hope the next time we meet is better than today..”
“You don’t have to use the gift clumsily..”
“It will happen.!”
After saying that, Lee Se-hee bowed her head slightly and left. I thought he was a cold-hearted businessman because he only recalled memories from his last life, but he was surprisingly human..
* * *
Lee Se-hee's steps were undisturbed until she arrived at the underground parking lot. But the moment he reached the car, his legs gave out..
“miss!”
“I'm fine.”
Lee Se-hee raised her hand to stop the bodyguard and took a deep breath..
I pretended nothing was wrong on the spot, but I actually hit my chest like it was going to explode..
‘He tried to kill me without any hesitation..’
It was surprise, not fear. Her gift, ‘Charm’, is a gift that everyone likes. Lee Se-hee, who worked hard to cultivate her natural beauty and background as a member of the sacred group Royal Family, has achieved everything she wants in her life..
As a result, Shinsung Guild achieved success not only in Korea but also around the world..
Dahyun Jeong, whom he had his eye on, dropped out, but that was just a minor variable..
But Choi Jun-ho's case was different..
A level 5 awakener who appeared like a comet. She caused a stir in the country's defense bureau with her unhesitating hand and unstoppable actions. And even caught her boss, special team leader Wang Ju-yeol..
Lee Se-hee didn't think he was level 5. So I wanted to check it out and bring it to the Holy Guild..
And I gained confidence from today's meeting..
“···minimum level 7.”
No, maybe it's more than that. Even Lee Se-hee has never seen a high-level awakened person at such a young age..
Then you have to do whatever it takes to attract them..
Lee Se-hee got in the car and picked up her smartphone..
“Increase the number of equipment supported by the National Defense Department. As an apology, I give a recovery medicine to Choi Jun-ho. And... please research all the information about Choi Jun-ho..”
* * *
Yunhee’s training went smoothly. In my opinion, I am currently close to level 3, and my skills have risen to the level where I can easily pass the Shinsung Guild, Korea's first choice..
But the biggest enemy is always carelessness. I created a different crisis situation every day to prevent Yunhee from losing her mind..
Yunhee screamed, asking if this would really help her pass the exam, but I dismissed it as a sure way to improve her skills..
Every time I finish training, people ask me if I have feelings, but that's definitely not the case..
Well, probably not..
After the rewarding training, Yunhee came out of the shower and said to me:.
“Lee Se-hee said she came from the National Defense Department.?”
“how did you know that?”
“Of course I saw the article.”
Yoonhee explained that Lee Se-hee, the head of the Shinsung Guild operation team, is an outstanding awakener and at the same time a celebrity who is envied by everyone, creating a stir wherever she goes..
“I also talked to you.?”
“uh.”
“really? With Lee Se-hee?”
“What a strange thing that is.”
“Of course it’s amazing! It's no one else but Lee Se-hee! Women's Wannabe! What was it like seeing it in person? Pretty?”
If you are pretty, you must have a pretty appearance. But that didn't seem enough to express Lee Se-hee..
Knows how to utilize one's beauty in a timely manner, moves proactively according to the situation, and then backs off and bends when things go wrong..
“He asked for it.”
“What kind of evaluation is this??”
“Just like that.”
“Well, that's not because I tried to talk to him but he was ignored.?”
In fact, there was even a collision, but I didn't say that..
Yunhee didn't seem to be interested until then, so she posted another article in front of me..
“But this article was a bit harsh..”
Treating villains like bugs? The title “Controversy over the Special Team of the National Defense Bureau!” appeared..
“Isn’t this sniping at my brother??”
“I guess so..”
“The same person kept using it. This is also reporter Go Ye-jin. No, Hunter, a civil servant in the villain task force, is working hard, so what if I say something about it?.”
With that said, I looked at the articles written by reporter Go Ye-jin. Yunhee is not saying this out of excitement for no reason, but one title was chosen as art..
“Once I see it, I'll tell you well..”
“Uh, um. Don't kill me though.”
“Do you really want me to kill you??”
“I'm clenching my fist right now?”
“······.”
I was really clenching my fist without realizing it..
* * *
Civil servant hunter is a national position. As a member of the state, it protects the people from villains and monsters and creates a balance by keeping large guilds in check..
In fact, some countries in the Third World that failed to keep this in check fell into the exclusive domain of a very small number of guilds..
As a result, the central government is desperately trying to maintain the power of national hunters, and instead of providing financial treatment to many large guilds, it is public power that is granted..
The civil servant hunter's public power is not used, but it is quite strong if you want to use it. If there are some suspicions, on-site arrest is possible and the right to self-defense is widely recognized..
There was a strong penalty for missing a leg, so there was a tendency to avoid using it as much as possible..
I was the exact opposite..
Public power is good. Even if I write this, anything can be rationalized as long as there is a just cause. ‘To prepare for the villain’s attack’, ‘To prevent the villain’s actions’, ‘To study the villain’s patterns’, etc..
The reason I found Oh Jong-yeop was because of the power of public power..
I never thought I could find you with just your name, age, and family information..
“I really like public power.”
I finally found it. Slash Oh Jong-yeop.
A friend who believed in me until the end.
But I couldn't live up to my friend's expectations and pulled out my heart at the last moment..
My relationship with Oh Jong-yeop was not that pure. When this guy just became a villain, he teamed up and showed his face to disperse the chase..
We were able to become friends because we were the same age at the time and didn't get into crime from the beginning..
I, who was half crazy, was able to avoid the chase with the help of Oh Jong-yeop..
“You are normal! Wake!”
What Oh Jong-yeop said to me the most.
I wasn't crazy from the beginning either..
To be precise, it was the difference between being a little crazy and being completely crazy. I struggled desperately to suppress my instinct to lust for blood to gain greater power..
To prevent it, he tried all kinds of drugs, including hallucinogens, stimulants, and narcotics. Later, he even chewed raw by-products of monsters, which were famous for being extremely toxic..
Oh Jong-yeop worked hard to help me. I did my best to live up to the expectations of my first friend, but.
It was all in vain.
In the end, unable to even recognize my friend's face, I killed Oh Jong-yeop with my own hands..
But you didn't blame me even at the moment when your heart was pierced in my hand..
“See you in hell, my friend..”
Even though I had gone crazy, I still remember that face clearly..
I returned to the past, not to hell, but I remembered the words of meeting again and came back..
The place I arrived was Ansan..
Oh Jong-yeop lived on the outskirts of the city, not inside it..
At the time, he was preparing to become a large company hunter. However, the fact that it was before the gift's development and the fact that his younger brother was suffering from a rare disease held Oh Jong-yeop back..
The guy who needed astronomical hospital bills ended up becoming a villain by accepting an offer from a villain organization to raise the money..
I will help prevent that from happening in this life..
The place where Oh Jong-yeop lives was an old shack that was about to collapse..
“······.”
I arrived in front of the house, but I couldn't come out willingly..
Is the feeling of debt from my last life holding me back? Or is it the guilt that comes from having killed a friend who trusted me?.
I was surprised that I had this feeling. These unfamiliar feelings made me realize that I was sane..
A familiar but youthful voice came to my hesitant ears..
“hey.”
When I turned my head, I saw Oh Jong-yeop standing there, much younger than when I last saw him..
“Who are you in front of my house??”
“I have business.”
“Business? What business??”
“I came to see you.”
His eyes became fiercer at my words..
“I don't know a gisaeng brother like you.?”
Now that I think about it, I remembered that before he became a villain, he said that he was quite a rebel..
I understand because there must have been a lot of hurt in the world..
Apart from touching the heart,.
Anyway, Oh Jong-yeop was the only friend who believed in me until the end..
So, I felt like that kind of thing was nostalgic. No, I tried to accept it warmly..
“Don't you close your eyes??”
“······.”
My gaze moved downward for a moment and I saw a clenched fist..
Yes, fights often occur between friends..
First, we need to create an atmosphere conducive to conversation..
