The crazy villain regains his mind - Episode 150

150fury

I moved in with Maxime Geddes and James Reid. Berserker followed until the end with passionate eyes, but now is not the time..

You can tell me later..

Oh, of course I will keep Maxim Guedes' secret..

“I do not care.”

Berserker was also cool in that respect..

It's not that I notice anything, but it makes me feel at ease..

By the time he arrived at the conference room, Maxim Guedes was in perfect physical condition..

Looking back, it was an amazing recovery..

“First of all, thank you for joining us..”

“I'm not doing it together, I'm just listening to the story..”

At least we learned that Maxim Guedes' feelings for the league are sincere..

Well, I felt like if I denied even that sincerity, I wouldn’t even be human..

Until a little while ago, the desire for gifts had completely disappeared..

No matter how greedy you are, there is a penalty.

“Let's talk about yourselves first..”

“First of all, our gatherings are called parties. A group organization dedicated to protecting the order we have established for a long time..”

“It's an organization trying to protect its vested interests.?”

“That statement is not wrong..”

Maxim Geddes smiled bitterly and agreed. This means the enemy has less range to attack. The details of the party were similar to what Anna Christine had told me..

Anyway, it's a good idea to join the party. Wherever you go, forming groups to protect your own interests and trying to hide them behind a curtain seems to be the same trait..

If I had to classify it, I would say the party is the old order and the league is the new order..

Naturally, there will be a fierce battle of nerves to take the lead..

It's probably a structure that only those who are clumsy have trouble with..

“But over the past hundreds of years, we have worked for the prosperity of humanity..”

“So your merits are great.?”

“That's the way it is. The development of humanity has many aspects that are consistent with the direction we pursue. As we develop, there are more things we can enjoy..”

“If you want to differentiate yourself from the league, that's fine, let's get to the point first..”

“Currently we are concerned about eliminating the league..”

“I don't understand why you care so much about the league.?”

After all, aren’t they people who eat well and live well? Even if the league was powerful, most of them were peripheral countries belonging to the third world. The United States and other developed countries where the party's members will be located are far from the League's power..

No, on the contrary, now that they have made an achievement, isn't the conditions set up for them to be active?.

In times like these, you will be able to appeal your presence even more..

If it's hidden beneath the surface, you can show off a Madame with a face like Maxime Guedes..

Too proactive for taking preemptive action.

“that…….”

Uncharacteristic of Maxim Geddes, he trailed off. He looked into James Reed's eyes and revealed a shocking truth..

“This is because the league started as a cooperative body of parties..”

“cooperative body?”

I was quite surprised, but not as surprised as James Reed. The guy stood up with a surprised expression and glared at Maxim Geddes with menacing eyes..

The guy sighed..

“The league was able to become what it is today because we gave it our strength. We were all deceived and taken advantage of by Argos. It's not an excuse. Because just being taken advantage of shows us how stupid we are..”

At least I'm glad they know they're stupid..

Maxim Geddes tells us what happened before he joined the party..

The number of people who can join the party is strictly limited, and is accompanied by a strict verification process for lineage, skills, and ideology..

Argos was an awakened person who failed in all of these factors, but was recognized for one gift. It was an eye that could look into every corner of the world..

The party wanted to actively utilize this, and made Argos belong to a separate organization rather than the party..

That was Argos, the predecessor of the league..

“Our arrogance created the league.”

The party wanted to use Argos to have the entire world in their field of vision. After the emergence of monsters, in a situation where the bonds of the world were loosened, the existence of Argos was a means of solidifying the party's dominance..

However, the party was betrayed at a critical moment. Argos was with Black Hound and Hell Master, who were in their teens at the time, and there were awakened people who followed him..

The party, who did not know that the point of the sword would be turned on them, suffered great damage and hid underground, and Argos, with the interfering forces gone, changed the name of the organization to a second name and renamed it League, growing it into the world's largest villain organization..

Maxim Guedes was brought in when the party suffered a major blow..

What, you weren't the person involved in the party's mistake? But why are you apologizing?.

If it were me, I would have turned a blind eye and said it wasn't my business..

“I suddenly had a question..”

“speak.”

“Who will win if you fight a black hound??”

“That's a difficult question. Of course I think I will win.”

Well, he withstood all of my persistent attacks and ran away, so it wasn't normal..

“Then the Hell Master?”

“I do not know. But one thing is clear. One of them will die. Everyone he has competed with so far has died..”

Isn’t it actually rated higher than Blackhound??

No, it could be a gift difference..

“tell me in detail.”

“I don't know much about Hell Master either. Because the scope of action has never overlapped. What is clear is that his gift is related to death. Even if it were you, you wouldn’t be able to stop death..”

Are you provoking me? The intention succeeded. I was curious what the gift of this guy named Hell Master was..

Ah, but I'm not curious enough to go and check..

“…….”

On the other hand, James Reed, who was quietly listening, had a stern expression that showed no signs of loosening..

“Since this is a league created by our own hands, we are thinking of fixing it with our own hands. However, Argos's ingenuity is superior to ours, and now the party has grown to a size that cannot be handled carelessly. James, I'm sorry I deceived you all these years..”

“I didn't think the truth about the party would be easy, but this is a bit of a shock..”

“sorry.”

“…….”

James Reed turned his head and looked away..

Looks like he has some kind of grudge against the league..

That's a problem you two can solve on your own..

“I know the league well..”

“Because it was once an affiliated organization of ours..”

“Then why didn't Argos stop the betrayal?.”

“A sea of ​​sympathy.”

Maxim Geddes laughed bitterly. Still, they said that because it was an organization created by them, they knew the internal information better than anyone else..

Then it's one.

“Are there any internal sympathizers??”

“We have members in high-ranking positions in the league..”

“That guy doesn't betray?”

“After Argos' betrayal, the verification process was strengthened to the point of extreme. You don't have to worry about that..”

“Then I'm glad.”

First of all, I understand why the party is gnashing its teeth at the league. There are probably a lot of facts not mentioned here..

For example, the financial power that allows the league to increase its power in a short period of time, or the reason why over-tech products such as boosts appear. Probably took a lot of what the party had..

I understand why the resentment arose, but I'm not that bad..

They told me bullshit like I was born to be a villain, but there was no reason to look for guys who weren't in front of me..

“I know what you mean..”

“then?”

“But there is no reason for me to join hands with you..”

“I knew it.”

“Why are you clinging to me so much??”

“It's hard to find talented people who have a clear grudge against the league. For most superhumans, a sense of belonging to the nation comes first, and there is no way to know whether they reject the League or sympathize with it. In that respect, you're tested in every department..”

Are you telling me that I have no sense of belonging to the country?.

How much I love this country, but you only know one and not two..

How dare they even receive the privilege of not being arrested. Fearing that his villain image would be ruined, he even hired Jin Se-jeong to manage his image.?

Anyway, everyone thinks as they please. This may be convenient, but sometimes it causes absurd misunderstandings..

“Don't worry, the league will attack everyone on sight. Instead, I'll treat your kids the same way if they bother you, so behave yourself..”

“That's rather creepy.”

“and.”

I looked at Maxim Guedes.

“If you have a problem, handle it on your own rather than relying on others to help you. Isn't the fact that I couldn't even do that just means I'm reporting that I'm lacking in ability??”

“That's not wrong either. I've been showing a passive attitude so far. Negotiations have collapsed. But I'm not giving up on this. Come back again.”

Are you bothering me by coming back to me for something I did because of my lack of ability?.

Maxim Guedes, smiling bitterly, stood up and left the room with James Reed..

I watched the back and called Mandok Bulchim and Hyegwang Simeo..

I still have regrets about Lion Flower..

‘Lionization, those side effects, can’t you get rid of them??’

Mandeuk answered right away. That's impossible because it's not poison or an abnormal condition..

Gwangsim is?

He jumps up and asks, “Where are you thinking?” and says, “I will live like this by refraining from contact with the opposite sex.”.

…This guy's words are rather unpleasant.?

Even if you have the power to kill all poisons and the deepest love for Hye-gwang, the impossible is impossible..

“I guess I should give up.”

I quenched my appetite with regret..

* * *

“…….”

James Reed and Maxime Geddes did not talk until they returned to their residence..

Although the two are American superhumans, their pursuits were different. Maxim Guedes was faithful to the party's interests rather than national interests, and James Reed was faithful to the view of American national interests..

The reason they were able to become friendly even though their interests often clashed was because of their hostility toward the league..

So the truth that the League was an organization created by a party was a huge shock to James Reed..

“Are you disappointed??”

“Rather than disappointment... That's a bit surprising. So much information comes into my head that I feel dazed..”

“I'm sorry for hiding it.”

“no.”

James Reed shook his head. I feel resentment, but how can I blame it on Maxim Geddes?.

Reason was cold.

“I think the puzzle is finally coming together now. How was the League able to grow in power so much in such a short period of time, and why is the party that was watching everything happen so actively to eliminate the League? Still, hoo! It would have been better if you had told me directly. I'm so annoyed right now.”

“sorry.”

“You probably didn't say anything because you also had thoughts. I won't blame you for that. Because it can happen. It's just because I'm annoyed.”

“The league has reached a point where it cannot be easily eliminated even if we try. Your help will be needed in the future..”

“So I solved the information in front of me?”

“Because headbreakers are important personnel. The party will be asking for your help..”

“that's not bad.”

Because there is currently no specialist Choi Jun-ho in the party..

If you ask me if that's me, I can't answer with confidence..

“So get ready for then.”

“That's how it should be. If even that doesn't work, there's no point in me being alive..”

James Reed nodded with a determined expression and placed his hand on his heart..

Anna will take her revenge with her own hands..

* * *

After talking with Maxim Guedes, I headed to the Blue House..

There's no need to reveal the details, but I think it's good to share what's going on..

And the President and Cheon Myeong-guk are also the ones who tell me the direction that will benefit me..

“I'm glad your face looks good..”

“were you worried?”

“I was worried about Maxim Guedes, not Superhuman Choi Jun-ho..”

Next to me, Cheon Myeong-guk was nodding his head as if he agreed..

…I mean it sincerely..

Sometimes I want to be worried too.

“It was strong. I found out why people in their teens are so popular..”

“Well, wouldn't he have been helplessly defeated by Choi Jun-ho? Even all teenage superhumans become equal in front of Choi Junho's superhumans..”

Does that really make sense? But I wonder if that is the meaning of equality..

I thought it felt a little excessive, but it's not wrong..

Remembering that he warned me about the Hell Master even after getting beat up, I wondered what kind of guy he was..

“Maxim Guedes wants me to take the lead in eliminating the league..”

“Otherwise, there would be no reason to create and present something called level 9. It's even better because it can be used as a means of entangling..”

“But there is no reason for me to step in to eliminate a league that is not even close..”

I think so, but what do the President and Cheon Myeong-guk think?.

“I agree. There's no reason to waste your energy on a league that isn't even close. Isn't it??”

“yes. Since the league was created as a result of mistakes made by Western society, including the United States, it is their responsibility to handle it..”

I think the same thing. I confirmed that it wasn't much different from what I thought..

“but.”

I focused my attention on the president's words. Do you have other thoughts?.

“There is no need to draw a line like a knife. Especially in an emergency situation over there..”

“Do you have any other plans?.”

“Get what they say they will give you. level 9.”

Wasn't that already a piece of cake? Is there any reason to come and get it now?.

If you receive this, you will be helping to eradicate the league..

“Sometimes, just receiving a gift can put someone else's mind at ease..”

The president said that if Maxime Guedes recommended level 9 again despite my refusal, it would not be because he wanted me to be at the forefront of eradicating the league..

Just by giving and receiving, we are giving and receiving assurance that we belong to the same fence..

Being in the same fence did not necessarily mean riding in the same boat..

Is that why Maxim Guedes said he would come back?.

I was doing push-and-pull without even realizing it. Actually, maybe I have a talent for negotiation.?

“How good. You only get rights without responsibility. Level 9 is a golden opportunity to become the idol of all superhumans..”

It certainly makes sense..

It seems like there is a different intention, though. As I hung out with the president, I learned a lot about the characteristics of politicians..

“And it will also be an achievement to have produced a level 9 superhuman during your term as president..”

“Hehehe! Why do you say embarrassing things so confidently?.”

I guess it was the perfect answer. But he probably said it for me, not just for his own accomplishments. I don't need to say this much because we know each other.

By the way, it's level 9.

I didn't think much of it because I could feel the dark side of the party, but after hearing the president's words, I thought it wouldn't be a bad thing..

I have no reason to refuse it if they give it to me..

If you cross a line, shouldn’t you just reject it? Turning away and using my hands is also my specialty..

“If Maxim Geddes makes a suggestion, we will consider it positively..”

Now I need to get used to receiving it too..

And I had a funny idea.

Level 9 certification, how about I do it instead of the party??
