The crazy villain regains his sanity - Episode 252
252fury
The conversation with the President was a very useful time..
Each force has its own position and its own direction in pursuing its interests. In Europe, it was more important to wait and not be impatient..
Just because everything moves quickly in one direction doesn't mean you'll arrive early. Sometimes you have to be patient and wait patiently.
…Actually, there is no way..
In this case, it would be better to have a space-type gift that can fly directly to Europe rather than a transfer-like gift supplemented by a friend fee..
That would be impossible, so I guess I should give up.?
As I was quenching my appetite with regret, I was caught by Cheon Myeong-guk who followed me..
“Superhuman, just for a moment.”
“Even if you have something to say?”
“yes. I have something to tell you..”
“That's right.”
We moved to the conference room in the Blue House..
“Thank you for this.”
At first, I wondered what kind of thank you I would give, but then I remembered what happened with the opposition party and nodded..
“Are you talking about the opposition party??”
“Yes that's right.”
“It's no big deal. That's because they got rid of the annoying stuff first. Even if I wasn't the manager, I would have tried to handle it in my own way..”
“Still, it was a great help to me..”
“I don't know how someone who has been in politics for so long has a sense of politics that is so much lower than that of the director..”
If you're going to pursue politics as a career, shouldn't you have good political sense? It was puzzling in many ways to see that he was a politician and did not have good political sense..
Most of the politicians I saw had strange thinking and thought that the world revolved around themselves..
“I also don't have a very good sense of politics..”
“No, in my opinion, out of all the politicians other than the President, I like you the best..”
“…thank you.”
Cheon Myeong-guk said thank you with a confused expression and brought up the business for which he had called me..
“Do you remember Saudi Arabia being mentioned last time??”
“100Joe, I remember..”
Even though it was a sudden incident, Saudi Arabia still did not withdraw its offer..
As a result, chaos broke out again..
Starting with the opposition party's claim of responsibility that stimulated me, it is absurd to sell the heart of the world's only two-horned monster..
As the topic continued, the opposition party's claim of responsibility grew, so I just watched quietly..
“A guest came from Saudi Arabia. I am the king's special envoy..”
“Why did the special envoy come here??”
“Regardless of purchasing the heart of the Heavenly Demon Armor, it seems that the feelings toward Superhuman are sincere. It appears that he came here to build friendships this time..”
“okay.”
I don't really like friendships that are just about building friendships..
Cheon Myeong-guk spoke in a quiet voice as if he had read my thoughts..
“The King's special envoy may also be helpful to you..”
“How does it help??”
“Saudi Arabia is well versed in European information.”
“ah.”
Come to think of it, Europe is not far from Saudi Arabia. This way, I can easily get the information I want about Europe..
furthermore.
Cheon Myeong-guk is the owner of Gift Simulation. Perhaps a calculation has been made about the current situation.
“I tried to meet him because the manager recommended it, but I was curious how he would view the situation in Europe from a close distance. Let's meet.”
“thank you.”

What came to visit me was an attendant who has been serving the King of Saudi Arabia for 30 years..
Although he has no special position, he is the king's closest confidant and is said to be the king's hand and mouth in Saudi Arabia. He was in his early 60s, but he looked like he was in his 50s because he took good care of himself..
He was also a useful level awakener with a level of around 7..
I guess he's a bodyguard and attendant..
“My name is Nasir..”
“This is Junho Choi.”
We briefly said hello and then sat down across from each other. But Nasir didn't feel very good about the way she looked at me. Because it wasn't very pleasant to look at her as if she was openly exploring in front of her..
“I am honored to meet the world's greatest awakened person..”
“Thank you for your words. By the way, I'm pretty good at Korean.?”
His skills were so fluent that I thought the Nasir in front of me was a Saudi born in Korea..
“To have a conversation with you.”
“come out?”
“yes. I began learning it in earnest two years ago, and even received pronunciation correction to enable smooth conversation. Korean dramas were a great help here..”
“…….”
Nasir answered casually, but I wasn't the one who heard it. It had not yet been two years since I became a superhuman. What that means is that even before I became a superhuman, I had been learning Korean to communicate with myself..
He didn't seem like a loose person to think that he had completed his period..
My thoughts were exactly right..
“Your country has been keeping an eye on you, thinking you will stand out..”
In Saudi Arabia, around the time I earned the nickname “Head Breaker,” they were confident that I would become a superhuman in the near future. That's probably good. Because it's true that I was the one who focused attention by wandering around..
But I didn't understand why he put that much effort into talking to me..
“I didn't know I would get the title of world's strongest so early on. I should have listened more carefully to what His Majesty the King said, but I was scolded greatly for this incident..”
“I don't understand why their king is interested in me..”
I saw the Saudi security personnel getting upset as if they understood what I said..
But before I could react, Nasir raised his hand and stopped the bodyguards. He had a stern look that was completely different from his friendly face just moments ago. And when he turned his head to me again, he came back with a polite, good-looking face..
“His Majesty the King is very interested in talented people. And he enjoys interacting with those talented people. Because one of the small favors they show can save their home country..”
Saudi Arabia is a country with a large territory compared to its typical population..
After the appearance of monsters, these countries suffered a greater blow than other countries. Although the territory they had to protect was infinitely large, they were unable to demonstrate their strengths in the population, which could be considered a talent pool..
Saudi Arabia, which considered itself the loser of the Middle East, is now a place where monsters frequently invade..
But I can't get over it with just one word.
He did research on me just to build a friendship.?
“So I did a lot of research on you. So much so that I feel confident that I know you as well as America. For example, you are thinking about killing me right now..”
“…….”
It's true that you know me well. Um, but if you think that saying that doesn't mean I can't kill you, you're mistaken..
However, this was the first time I had seen this type of approach. For now, I decided to just listen to whatever they were saying..
“So, I want to hear the reason you came here..”
“I heard that they are preparing to go to Europe to hunt the Plus Plus level monsters that have appeared this time. We are willing to provide the information we have gathered..”
“What I wish for?”
“If the hunt is successful and you are in good condition, could you visit your home country??”
I'm visiting Saudi Arabia..
After the appearance of the monster, it was revealed that the heart of the monster was an eco-friendly energy source, and the status of OPEC, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, which had been exerting great power through oil, plummeted..
As a result, Saudi Arabia suffered great losses. The inability of Middle Eastern countries to stand out in possessing awakened power or hunting monsters also played a role in the aftermath..
This is also because in the United States and Europe, where people are busy with their own lives, the Awakened Secrets are carefully managed. The tie was later resolved, but due to the nature of the Middle Eastern countries, many talented people left their home country..
However, even if a rich person goes bankrupt, it lasts for three generations. It occurred to me that Saudi Arabia, as a regional power, had been preparing for a long time..
“You don’t have to decide right now. It's literally just a request. instead.”
Nasir handed me a document containing information about Europe..
Are you handing me something without listening to my answer? It was an expression of intention to buy my favor..
It's not like I'm being clumsy, and I'm not proudly saying bullshit either..
It's true that they did some research on me..
“His Majesty the King is looking forward to seeing the world's greatest superman. I hope you understand my sincerity..”
“Well, I really understand..”
It seems that sincerity is only conveyed when there is a certain price to pay..
I nodded my head in affirmation..
* * *
“haha.”
“…….”
Franz laughed empty-handed, and the saint raised her eyebrows..
How did this situation come to be? The two felt sick to their stomachs..
After the Plus Plus stage monster appeared, the two tried to invite Choi Jun-ho as planned. However, when trying to prepare a response, they were able to confirm that the atmosphere in Europe was not going as they wanted..
He declared that he would gather his strength and deal with it on his own without calling in superhumans from outside..
Europe, which was initially divided in its individual responses, succeeded in establishing an efficient system by once again establishing a single response system thanks to Franz's dedication and sacrifice..
European countries were able to hunt monsters with minimal damage, and succeeded in producing outstanding awakened people one after another through systematic training methods..
But now it has become poisonous..
The thorough protection of prospects and the monopolization of monster hunting rewards has created the perception that even monsters of the plus plus level can be used..
In particular, young superhuman groups in Europe pushed for this strongly..
“Now that things are like this, we can't bring in Choi Jun-ho. If there is even a collision, an even bigger disaster will occur..”
“I agree.”
In Europe, the adepts known as young people are those under the age of 40. The number was twelve, and their influence on each country was strong because they had steadily accumulated performance..
They are the ones who led public opinion by saying that they can hunt Plus Plus level monsters..
But Franz realized that they were not the main culprits who had planned this..
“You're egging me on from behind…….”
The ones who prevented Choi Jun-ho from coming were the superhumans of England and France, the old superhumans who have exerted great influence on Europe since Franz retired..
Due to their presence, the speaking power of England and France in Europe was becoming stronger, and a structure was created to keep Germany and Italy, including Franz and the saint, in check..
In particular, Harry Carlson, a former teenager and British superman, was famous for his enmity with Franz..
Still, I thought that my feelings about minimal sacrifice and hunting monsters were sincere, but this time I found out that even that was not the case..
“Once the fire has started, we cannot force it to be extinguished. I have no choice but to leave it like this.”
“That would be nice, but it's not easy..”
The saint took a deep breath and announced that Matteo Colazzi, an Italian superman, had visited a little while ago..
He was thirty-seven years old this year, an ambitious superhuman and a well-known playboy, burning with ambition to make a name for himself by hunting Plus Plus level monsters..
Crucially, he had been courting the saint passionately for 10 years..
“He says that if we succeed in hunting, we can go on a date..”
“Are you giving up your life just for one date? stupid guy!”
Franz clicked his tongue, wondering if his brain, which is usually close to a genius, turns into a beast when he gets involved with a woman..
Matteo Colacci was a talented person worthy of being called a genius, but it was still too early to deal with plus-plus level monsters..
No, it was obvious that he had forgotten that he had struggled against plus level monsters before..
Do you think you can hunt for the Plus Plus level by barely succeeding??
It can be said that it is only one level difference, but just by looking at the data received from Choi Jun-ho, you can see that it is on a different level..
The saint’s expression was not bright either..
“I asked them to stop hunting.”
“If you stop, why don't you call it a date??”
“I said that, but it's not cool..”
“haha. What is that guy's style?.”
“sorry. He should have stopped him at all costs..”
“That's it. My head is already filled with resonance, and there's no way it will stop even if you try to stop me. They said they would thoroughly protect future generations, but I never thought it would come back this way..”
Franz burst out laughing at the absurd situation..
The difficulties they faced did not end there..
After meeting with Matteo Colacci, the saint received a call from Choi Jun-ho saying that he would depart for Italy..
It looks like he's literally trying to fulfill his promise..
However, if this was accepted, the opportunity to hunt plus-plus level monsters in Europe would disappear..
Franz, who had seen the intention behind taking advantage of the conflict in Europe, looked dejected..
“That ignorant guy pulled such a cunning trick..”
“It's probably not sincere. If we pass up this opportunity, the next time we ask, we'll have to pay a higher price..”
“That's probably what they were aiming for. I'm sure you've benefited greatly from your gift..”
“Is that so? It was given to me by God, so I wouldn't have been able to get it right..”
“He can't think in normal terms. He'll get something out of it one way or another.”
They were the ones who requested it and they were the ones who rejected it, so it's a very nasty situation..
You can ask them to wait indefinitely, but it's up to Choi Jun-ho to listen or not..
“I have no choice but to follow his plans..”
“yes. But if you change your mind…….”
“no need to worry about that.”
Franz spoke with confidence and smiled at the saint..
Franz knows.
Choi Jun-ho wants to hunt Plus Plus monsters..
However, it is Choi Jun-ho's side who holds the sword. If this proposal was rejected, there was no choice but to be dragged around unilaterally..
We just have to give more..
“Don't you know that too? What I'm most looking forward to dealing with now is not the rampaging guys over there, but this guy forcing us to make a choice..”
“yes.”
This wouldn't have happened if public opinion hadn't flowed in a strange direction in the first place..
What kind of request will Choi Jun-ho make?.
Just thinking about it gave me a headache..
