The crazy villain regains his sanity - Episode 264
264fury
Well, I guess being friends with King Ahmed is a bigger deal than I thought..
Even though I only watched TV for a moment, I was buzzing with stories about him..
Rather than dealing with the desert nightmare that had plagued the Arabian Peninsula for decades, there was a heated debate about the changes that would occur if Saudi Arabia's vast amounts of oil entered the country..
It looks like the value of oil is greater than I expected. When I see the uproar.
“I heard there's a lot of talk about it in the sacred guild as well.?”
“with oil?”
“huh.”
Is it something that hunters will be so interested in??
“Our country does not produce a single drop of oil. That's why a problem arose. That route was opened thanks to my brother. Because the quality of life changes.”
Yunhee said that if oil is imported, there is a high probability that Korea's chronic energy shortage will be solved..
In addition, it is possible to attract large numbers of refugees who have been unable to accommodate them to the city, and to revitalize various fields that had no choice but to give up..
It is possible to raise the national function to several levels at once..
It is said that the energy is replaced with the heart of the monster, but it is impossible to distribute what the hunter risked his life to acquire using the old logic..
I said while watching Yunhee giving a long speech..
“Since when did you become good at this field??”
“me? Of course, I heard this information out of curiosity..”
“There is something you thought about?”
“Of course not! What do I know in that field?.”
“…….”
I had nothing to say to that confident attitude..
[Wow, I feel refreshed..]
Yongyong, who revealed his thoughts without notice, was beyond absurd..
Anyway, while the TV was talking about the rosy outlook after oil came in, I felt puzzled..
Do you think oil will be transported safely from far away Saudi Arabia to here? Shouldn’t we discuss that first?.
“You'd think my brother would get it somehow..”
“It's such an easy ending?”
“So you said you would get the oil without even thinking about how? Nope. I said I would take it because there is a method that others don't know about..”
“Yes, but…….”
“So what's the problem? Just bring it.”
It's a new way to use the claws of a divine beast, but it's a problem that others take for granted..
I have nothing to say.

When it was time to visit the Blue House, I arrived at the Blue House and noticed that the atmosphere was different from usual..
Not only did reporters gather several times more, but also a vehicle with a booty that was rarely seen was seen going in and out of the interior one after another..
Is there some kind of event going on? I think we'll end today with a brief report on what happened in Europe and Saudi Arabia. If there is an event at the Blue House, there is no way the president won't say anything to me..
It was Cheon Myeong-guk who answered the question..
“It's not an event, it's because of content related to Choin's oil..”
“I don't even have the actual product yet, but already.?”
“They think that if they move before that, they will have their share..”
At the same time, it is said that the high praise sent to me by King Ahmed of Saudi Arabia and the allusion to oil exports caused excitement in Korea..
In the past, when the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia visited, influential people from all over the country gathered..
It's not at that level right now, but it will quickly return to its original state once oil is replenished..
“Oil-related businesses can raise Korea's status to the highest level. We are already receiving inquiries about whether oil can be imported from other countries..”
No, we are the ones importing, so why are they importing from us?.
We couldn't secure the amount we could use right now..
“That's because it's profitable to secure it if you can secure it even by paying several times the price..”
Myung-Guk Cheon said Saudi Arabia's words to sell at close to cost are having a bigger impact..
Nothing has started yet, but I'm drinking a lot of kimchi soup..
“Do you have any plans for that??”
“Nothing has been decided yet. We have to talk gradually..”
“Oh, thank goodness. We will move in the direction that is most beneficial to you..”
“Yes, thank you.”
There will be the president's position, and we also need to check how Cheon Myung-guk can improve. And after considering all the issues and discussing them with people around me, I can decide on a direction that is beneficial..
Rather than making a lot of money from oil, I planned to use it as a means to expand my influence. From what I've heard, there's a lot you can do if you're not obsessed with money..
First, let’s listen to the government’s position..
When I met the President, he stood up and politely offered me a seat..
“Oh my, superhuman. welcome. Please sit here..”
“…What are you doing now??”
“Isn’t it natural to treat the savior who will bring oil to Korea this way, hehe?.”
“I can't get used to it..”
“is it? It's been a while since I reminisced about the past, and I did it as kindly as possible..”
The president sat down with an embarrassed look on my face at my dry response..
It's not easy to get used to the sudden change in attitude..
I first started with the story of hunting Draculea in Europe. And when I explained the conflict in the European Union, the president nodded..
“Since it is a union of several countries, there are conflicting interests. Because Sir Franz's contributions were so great, Germany's status grew. It is true that the British and French eyes watching this were not kind..”
Moreover, it is said that there are many superhumans in Europe who want to surpass Franz's status..
They join forces when faced with the threat of monsters, but other than that, they oppose and keep each other in check. I thought that if there were multiple countries, it would not be easy to join forces..
However, it is said that there is no reason for the system to collapse due to the interests of those who miss the glory of the old EU, those who cannot stand on their own against the threat of monsters, and those who want to project influence abroad..
Franz did not want conflict to arise because of him, so he chose to step down..
If you let go of power, you will immediately fall into a situation where old man Franz is naive. It has been revealed once again..
“How was it in Saudi Arabia??”
“I don't know why, but he showed interest in me..”
“What's wrong with liking you??”
“I never thought that I would be someone someone would want to be friends with..”
“That's an illusion. There are things that are different when you see them up close and from a distance. From the outside looking in, you're someone I'd really like to get to know..”
huh? It feels strange to say something?
[Didn't I get hit??]
Yongyong and I were both confused for a moment, but the president urged me..
“Let me tell you the process of hunting that monster..”
“Ah, yes. There was a guy called Desert Nightmare.…….”
The President listened to the story with interest, although he must have received reports from those who went with me..
His expression became serious as he explained how he became close to King Ahmed, how he hunted down nightmares in the desert and gave them their bodies, and what happens when a monster monopolizes a hunting ground..
“I guess I'll have to pay more attention to observing monsters in the future..”
“In the struggle for survival, monopolization of the strong will inevitably occur..”
“What this means is that the frequency of Plus Plus stage monsters appearing will increase..”
“It's still too early, but there's a chance..”
“haha. I guess we'll have to share this information with other countries..”
The president was wary of the increasing possibility of the appearance of a two-horned monster. And he says he's going to share this with every country in the world to make it as unlikely as possible..
Hmm, maybe it's not good for me? If this continues, I might not be able to taste my hand..
“First of all, I heard that your work opened the way for oil imports. Do you have any other ideas in mind??”
“Is there a ship to transport oil before that??”
“There is. But there are few.”
The reason was that it sank after being attacked by a sea monster at the time of the monster's rise, and later, as the oil import route was cut off, the utilization of oil carriers plummeted, and the decisive factor was that there was no room to pay attention to management..
Ultimately, the way the world works is money. It is said that even oil carriers that were thoroughly managed were pushed back in the rankings as their value disappeared..
“I guess it exists..”
“yes.”
“And to achieve the desired amount, it must be dried again..”
I thought there was a lot more work to do than I thought. Even if old oil carriers are used, they will have to be gradually replaced with new ships..
“But the biggest problem is whether it is possible to get to Saudi Arabia safely..”
“there is a way.”
“Is it true??”
“You can do it the same way as when you went to Romania this time..”
However, the problem was that I needed to check whether it could be activated even when I was not around..
Even though they said they were not sure, the expressions of the President and Cheon Myeong-guk became relaxed..
No, usually you have to be suspicious until you see it with your own eyes..
“Considering what you've shown me so far, I should believe it..”
“Don't believe it.”
“I believe it.”
Since when did I become such a trustworthy person??
Either way, the president was smiling..
“Hehe, that was the part that bothered me the most, but I can’t believe it was resolved. Actually, I thought there was no chance if that part wasn't resolved. But is it possible?.”
The president's eyes grew dim. Today, it seemed to confirm how powerful oil is. It feels like the whole country is shaking, starting with the president..
“But I don't know anyone here, so can I get a recommendation??”
It's been several decades since monsters appeared. Meanwhile, oil-related experts were in a dry state..
As we seek to expand our influence, we plan to use people recommended by the government..
The president's eyes sparkled..
“Do you plan to leave it to the government??”
“I think we need to hire a professional person for this. It would be even better if we could take care of our relationship with the government. But is it possible??”
“Every time there is one. A lot of time has passed, but the people who were working at that time still remain. If you want, I will recommend it right away after verification of your personnel..”
“Then please ask.”
“Rather, I would like to ask you a favor from here..”
I thought the flow seemed a bit fast due to the President not knowing how to keep his mouth shut, but there is nothing wrong with getting things done quickly..
Wouldn't everything become clearer if we repair the oil tanker and load the oil from Saudi Arabia?.
I said I had no intention of making money from oil, but I had no intention of giving away my interest..
There is nothing free in this world. I only said that I would accept recommendations, but nothing has been confirmed, so I will see everything with my own eyes and judge it with my intuition before making a decision..
“I will take the utmost care.”
“yes.”
Still, I can trust the president’s recommendation..
* * *
Negotiations with the president basically begin with mutual trust. So, I believe that both the President and I will do our best when carrying out the work..
What I have shown you so far is what works as faith..
However, I learned that Korea's illusion about oil was more serious than I thought..
When I visited the Blue House and discussed oil imports, people's imagination grew to suggest that I had left it entirely to the government, and there was even talk that I would revive the Korea National Oil Corporation..
Eventually, it was even said that recommendations would be received from the ruling party and the opposition party..
what does this mean?
“I'm checking the liver..”
Sehee Lee told me. They say that since they can't tell me, they are stabbing the government regardless of the ruling or opposition party..
“The ecosystems that oil can create are endless. So you can't miss it..”
If a government stake is created, a position will be created that can be inserted when the government takes power. It becomes a force to increase numbers in politics and is linked to various interests..
They didn't even think about who would give them rice cakes, but they were playing the drums, playing the janggu, and even playing music..
This kind of wild-eyed behavior is nothing special..
Isn’t it human nature to want to refuse when someone asks you to do something?.
I looked at Lee Se-hee and asked.
“How about you?”
“Us? Of course, I desperately want to participate. I just have something to worry about..”
“What?”
“There are suspicions of preferential treatment towards Shinsung Group. The checks have gotten worse since the Big Bang series..”
It is said that because of this, it is a position that has no choice but to be self-respecting..
I couldn't understand at all.
Isn’t it better to keep doing well at what you do well?.
I haven't worked with many companies, but Shinsung Group is one of the best companies in Korea and is also an excellent company. I don't understand why continuing to entrust work to a place that is good at it is a privilege..
“There's nothing to worry about. Anyway, I will proceed with the recommendation of an expert from the government, so Shinsung Group should also participate..”
“Is that okay??”
“It's better for a partner you work with to step forward rather than a group of idiots who don't even know who they are going on a rampage like that..”
“Okay, then I'll get ready..”
Looking at Lee Se-hee's brightened face, I guess she really wanted to participate..
There's no reason to rush, but since there's going to be a lot of talk about this, I'll have to talk to reporters..
Even if I use my hands, I'll have to use it later..
“As expected, progress has been made.”
[what?]
“Didn’t you just hear that? Originally, I would have thought that I would have to use my hands first, but she thought that I should start by talking..”
[He said he would use his hands after that.?]
“You listen to my will?”
There was nothing like this before. This is why I developed.
[…….]
But Yongyong did not agree with my words..
He seems like a mean guy..
