The crazy villain regains his sanity - Episode 178
178fury
When we arrived at the Blue House, the atmosphere was heavy and subdued. Unlike usual, the President, Cheon Myeong-guk, and Yang Joo-hyuk were present..
Why is Yang Joo-hyuk there??
I thought he was a fresh newbie, but he seems to have a higher standing than I thought..
Before I had time to express my doubts, the President offered me a seat first..
“Did you hear the news about what happened in East Timor??”
“yes you heard.”
“then…….”
“I'm thinking of going to East Timor..”
“Of course, it will be like that..”
Both the president and Cheon Myung-guk looked like they had given up. Anyone who sees it will think I'm going to cause an accident..
“In a way, this can be said to be Choin’s personal matter..”
“yes.”
“However, as other countries are involved in the matter, we would like to provide assistance. Are you okay??”
“I will receive it with a grateful heart..”
I can handle it on my own, but I don't even need to help..
I am thankful for this.
When I readily accepted, the President also looked perplexed..
“Joo Hyuk.”
“Yes, Mr. President..”
“Can you tell me what your current research is??”
“yes.”
I think Yang Joo-hyuk’s role was for presentation purposes..
I went forward with the materials I had prepared in advance. Then he bowed his head to me and started explaining the situation in East Timor..
“As a result of an investigation by mobilizing local Humint, the power structure of the president, prime minister, and superhumans, which had been in place to check and control, is collapsing. The prime minister and superhumans are joining forces to pressure the president to resign.…….”
“…….”
No matter what the content is, the end result is that Victor Carvalho is the man to kill..
I stared at Yang Joo-hyuk briefing..
The villain called Innerclow was nowhere to be found. The guy who was intoxicated with his own talent and ran wild, trusting his father, the master of the Howeol Guild, has disappeared everywhere and is now in a key position in the Blue House..
When I saw this, I thought that a person's fate is something that one may know or not know..
Berserker, who was supposed to continue to be a villain, has his honor restored, and Yang Joo-hyuk, who should have been a villain, has become a prosperous public servant..
I guess I created people?
Thinking about it this way makes me happy..
Well, the person who applies it most strongly is me and no one else..
While I was lost in thought, Yang Joo-hyuk's explanation came to an end..
“…Therefore, we can be sure that Victor Carvalho intends to privatize power by mobilizing his power..”
I was thinking about something else, but I heard everything..
Because East Timor is far away, it is not possible to delve deep into the political world, but to summarize, Victor Carvalho must have become overly self-conscious as he saw the possibility of gift opening and his training performance improved noticeably..
As a result, he began to interfere in politics in earnest and gained omnipotent power..
The president and prime minister are currently resisting, but they seem to be dissatisfied with it and are planning to dissolve the National Assembly and hold elections again under their own leadership..
He's thinking of taking complete control..
“what do you plan to do?”
“I'm thinking of removing it.”
“Then, superhuman power disappears in East Timor.?”
“There's nothing you can do about it, right?.”
To put it bluntly, it is Victor Carvalho's fault for doing what he wants, not mine..
Above all, the existence of superhumans who abuse their power is more harmful than harmful level 8 monsters..
“Wouldn't the superhumans who signed the contract be careful if it was clearly finalized??”
“That's right..”
It's a one-punishment-all situation..
Even if you do this, those who are corrupt will become more corrupt, but it is enough to make you watch your eyes..
If I go to East Timor, it means I can go anywhere..
A smart guy would rather have three or four and feel comfortable than ten and risk his life..
The president also appears to agree..
“Then I'll trust you and leave it to you..”
“yes.”
“And what was Joo Hyuk’s report like??”
“It's worth using.”
“yes?”
Are you planning to raise Yang Joo-hyuk? Although he was said to be the best talent at the academy, he was originally a villain, so you had to be careful. I'll have to keep an eye on it..
“I plan to often entrust you with important tasks in the future. Then we'll eat.”
As I moved to my seat following the President, I saw Cheon Myeong-guk taking Yang Joo-hyuk with him..
* * *
Cheon Myeong-guk was affected by the incident committed by Choi Jun-ho..
So, I sang a song saying I wanted to quit, but it was actually 200% sincere..
Just the other day, Chung Joo-ho said that he would resign from his position as head of the National Front Defense Agency. It wasn't a sudden decision. He said for a long time that he had no regrets about public life and that he would quit when the time was right..
Now that Pyongyang was well stabilized and under government influence, Chung Ju-ho's value was at its peak. He prayed for the opportunity to leave while being applauded at the same time. Jung Joo-ho chose to leave rather than step further into power..
Cheon Myeong-guk was madly jealous of Jung Joo-ho. I felt like quitting, and I also wanted to scream at him, asking why he left me alone..
However, the main reason why he could not be stopped was because of his empty head. Looking at it, he couldn't help but wish him luck..
Now the problem is yourself.
Even if you quit, there is no one to take over your work. When the president's term ends and he disappears, even the minimal means of controlling Choi Jun-ho disappears..
That must be prevented. So, Cheon Myeong-guk was looking for a talented person to take over..
Then, what caught my eye was Yang Joo-hyuk..
A young talent who follows Choi Jun-ho and has experience dealing with Choi Jun-ho..
There was anticipation in Cheon Myeong-guk's eyes toward him..
“Yang Secretary.”
“yes! Manager.”
“What was it like dealing with Choi Jun-ho??”
“I liked it. You are the superman I have always wanted to emulate the most..”
“Choi Jun-ho is a superhuman, he’s great. It possesses an unrivaled strength of inaction..”
“That's right.”
“How about taking charge of Choi Jun-ho's superman in the future??”
“Do you mean me?”
Yang Joo-hyuk's eyes widened. Seeing the man he liked, Cheon Myeong-guk felt his conscience pricked..
“Is that okay??”
I can't believe you like having your limbs pushed in. But when you don't know what's going on in the world like this, you have to catch it..
“Don't be.”
“Then I will do it. Please do it.”
“Okay, let's do our best, Super Ace..”
“yes? That's a bit excessive..”
“I'm calling you because I think you will definitely succeed. You can do it?”
“yes!”
In response to his energetic response, Cheon Myeong-guk held Yang Joo-hyuk's shoulders and nodded..
I hope he grows up to be able to handle Choi Jun-ho..
Cheon Myeong-guk desperately wished for his retirement..
* * *
“How about having Secretary Yang Joo-hyuk accompany you on this expedition??”
I felt puzzled by this completely unexpected proposal..
“Do you really need it??”
“Secretary Yang will represent the government's position. From your point of view, it will be easier for Secretary Yang to deal with you, so please bring him with you..”
“hmm.”
I looked at Yang Joo-hyuk. There was some kind of anticipation and fear on his face, and I wondered if it was right to take him with me..
Since the government has decided to help, it might be better to take her as an errand boy.?
“All right.”
“That's a wise decision..”
For some reason, it seems like they have a watchdog next to them..
Well, since he may not be a villain yet, I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to take him around and educate him..
“Then the means of transportation is by plane.…….”
“Oh, there's a place to stop along the way. I would like to take a yacht to Brunei..”
“You mean yacht??”
“yes.”
There was something that bothered me, so I wanted to check it out on the way..
“Is it important??”
The president, who had been listening quietly, asked.
“This needs to be confirmed.”
“I get it, that's all I know.”
With the President's acceptance, it became easier to proceed with work..
It's been a while since I can check it out..
* * *
On the way to Brunei, there was one thing I needed to check..
This is the Taiping Gate of Zhang Wuyuan, which I visited before..
At the time, I was heading there after stealing a pirate ship, so I didn't know the exact location of this place..
However, in the process of returning after hijacking the boat on which Nangunggi was carrying, he learned of the location and learned that it was located between Taiwan and Luzon Island in the Philippines..
The reason I thought I had to visit this place again was because while dealing with the Taiping disciples, I left their base intact in the process..
Since the buildings were left standing, of course there would still be facilities for people to live in, and there were plenty of people who wanted to use them..
This is proof of my progress.
In the past, I wouldn't have cared more about killing them all. But after getting a taste of missiles, I was able to keep infrastructure in mind as well..
This means that the post-processing process can be done more reliably..
“Hmm, after all.”
As I drove the yacht and arrived near my destination, I nodded when I saw the smoke rising from the island. After stopping the ship for a while, pirates were there..
I thought the Chinese government took over this island when Nangong-gi died, but it seems that it was abandoned again because it was an island and difficult to manage..
“When pirates are active, strict people suffer damage..”
If other people are harmed because of me, I have to make it right..
My choice is to blow up that base..
It has become empty because of me, but if pirates settle in and cause damage to the surrounding area, that would be a terrible thing. It's better to handle it clearly on my own..
Well, come to think of it, the president said to think three times before firing a missile..
So I thought about it three times. and made a decision.
I need to blow up that island..
When I returned to the yacht, I looked at Yang Joo-hyuk and said,.
“Contact the Blue House.”
“yes! What should I say??”
In response to my brave response, I pointed to the island in front of me..
“Blow up that island with a missile.”
“yes yes……?”
Yang Joo-hyuk, who was answering without thinking, looks at me with a surprised expression..
“Why are you so surprised??”
“Well, it appears to be a deserted island with nothing in it..”
“It is a pirate island. Pirates have used that area as their base and are causing damage to innocent people here and there..”
“Well, I see. But why suddenly launch a missile…….”
“If you see a pirate, isn't it right to get rid of it??”
“ah! Seeing pirates sparks your sense of justice.!”
I think he's misunderstanding something..
But my eyes were shining brightly, so I could have said no.
Well, let's put it that way..
“I can't pass it up. Just ask the Blue House to launch my missile..”
“All right.”
I'm glad there's no hesitation.
Yang Joo-hyuk called me and shouted various things in a loud voice. After a while, he handed me the phone with a sullen expression..
“This is Director Cheon..”
A dying voice was heard from across the room..
-Choi Jun-ho, is it true what Secretary Yang said??
“yes.”
-Why are you there?…….
“This is where Taepyeongmun Gate was located. I want to completely erase the evidence..”
-Can't you be careful??
“I bought it for times like this. I hope you don't worry and can fire comfortably..”
-I was worried about you... Phew! All right.
I handed the satellite phone to Yang Joo-hyuk again and waited for the missile to be launched..
The missile that Yu Hao fired was okay, but I heard that the one I bought was more powerful, so I was curious about how it would be..
“Choin, they say a missile was launched..”
“okay.”
There will be a very expensive and spectacular fireworks display..
A moment later, a missile appeared with a tearing sound. And it literally hit the island.
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The power of the missile was intense. One thing is certain about performance..
The island that was once the home of the Taiping Gate was engulfed in flames..
If we wanted to use that devastated place as a base again, we would have to remove the rubble and build a new base from scratch..
I won't put out the fire until everything burns..
I pulled out Nuri and said to Yang Joo-hyuk, who was watching blankly..
“I'm waiting here. I'll come after dealing with the survivors..”
* * *
To Yang Joo-hyuk, Choi Jun-ho was a hero..
He helped me come to my senses after believing in my meager talent, and helped me develop my skills by giving me guidance..
After learning that the world is wide and that there are countless strong people, Yang Joo-hyuk realized that he still had a long way to go..
Heading there wasn't fear, but excitement for something new..
I also wanted to become like Choi Jun-ho. He wanted to become a flawless superman and travel the world in all its glory..
So, I wanted to assist Choi Jun-ho from his side. Thanks to the consideration of Cheon Myeong-guk, who recognized this, I came along on the expedition to East Timor..
Meanwhile, it was shocking to see a missile being fired at what appeared to be a pirate base..
‘Blow up the base with missiles.’
It was a bold decision and execution ability worthy of Choi Jun-ho. If it were him, would he have acted like that? No, he couldn't. Yang Joo-hyuk, who had just entered society, was a child who had no idea what the world was like and had a lot to learn..
So, I took note of Choi Jun-ho’s actions. He didn't know when that would happen, but he wanted to follow in his footsteps if he too became a great superman like Choi Jun-ho..
“Superhuman, wouldn't it have been better to set fire to it?.”
“Military support is also needed to carry out future operations. I needed to find out the missile power..”
“Is that so?.”
Firing those expensive missiles just for ‘confirmation’?.
Yang Joo-hyuk clicked his tongue in admiration, thinking that such distribution was the type of distribution he could not follow..
If I were to become a superhuman at some point and not be concerned about money, I wanted to eliminate the villain as well as Choi Jun-ho, and in a more reliable way than Choi Jun-ho..
“I'm waiting for you.”
“where are you going?”
“I have to get rid of all the remaining ones..”
“I, I will help too..”
At those words, Choi Jun-ho’s gaze turned towards this direction. I shivered unconsciously due to the cold feeling, but that only lasted for a moment..
“I have a high opinion, but I'm here to help..”
“I want to help too.”
“If you are dissatisfied, improve your skills further..”
“…yes.”
After hearing the answer, Choi Jun-ho stepped into the air and disappeared. And when he swung his sword at the ship trying to escape the island, the blue force blade swirled like a storm and shattered into pieces..
There is no way I can help with dealing with something like that. Just staying in place.
“…….”
I felt helpless. He thought he might have become somewhat useful, but when he looked at Choi Jun-ho, he felt like he was nothing more than a trivial person..
I felt helpless as if the faint screams were my own..
To you, it's just a sentiment, but to them, it's hell..
When Choi Jun-ho, who had stained the sea red with pirate blood, returned to the yacht, he looked as if nothing had happened, as if he had just gone for a walk..
“Everything has been taken care of. let's go.”
“yes.”
The two drove a yacht and headed to Brunei. It was hard to believe that they had fired a missile at that disappearing island and wiped out all the pirates that had been there just a moment ago..
And there is one mission given to Yang Joo-hyuk on the voyage to Brunei..
The goal is to explore whether it will be possible to import oil as relations with Brunei rapidly progress..
Monster's core is in the spotlight as an eco-friendly energy source, but that's only because global logistics are cut off, and oil is still the most preferred energy source..
I thought it would be a great opportunity for the government if Choi Jun-ho pioneered a route to Brunei, but…….
“…I can't do this.”
By the time he arrived in Brunei, Yang Joo-hyuk had reached the point of despair..
It was literally straight ahead..
In that case, it is natural for sea monsters to attack..
Every time, Choi Jun-ho jumped into the sea and cut off the monster's head..
Send an oil tanker on this route.?
It was absolutely impossible.
* * *
We were attacked by quite a few monsters until we arrived in Brunei..
[You'll be in big trouble if you keep doing this..]
“why?”
[Uh, that's what I mean…….]
I suddenly remembered erasing the Taiping Gate and hunting monsters when I returned..
If you think about it, then and now were similar..
“Is there a friend of yours around here??”
[Oh no?]
Even if you act clumsily, it's at the level of Yongyong..
It was around here..
What kind of being is the divine beast that lives under the sea?.
“Tell them to come visit you when you have time.”
[it's crazy?]
“Like it or not.”
Still, since you're nearby, I think it'd be better to take a look..
As I saw Yongyong in deep distress, I met Abdul Arche, who had come to meet me from Brunei..
