The crazy villain regains his mind - Episode 47
47fury
Choi Jun-ho went outside, and Cheon Myeong-guk looked at the president cautiously..
The President's face, which seemed very excited, changed to calm. The president is the pinnacle of politicians. Changing your facial expression isn't that difficult..
“Did they fire CEO Koo Byeong-do to make way for Choi Jun-ho??”
“okay.”
“why······.”
“Because Gu Byeong-do has no eyes to see..”
The president's voice was firm..
“It doesn’t matter what you say to Choi Jun-ho before that. Because there is freedom of speech in our country. But the situation has changed since Choi Jun-ho showed his skills. He needs to take responsibility for what he said. Having said that, it would be shameless to take the soybean soup that Choi Jun-ho offers. Isn't it??”
“······.”
“And Gu Byeong-do does a lot of things at the magic power plant. It's time to consider replacing it, but it worked out well. It would be good to use this opportunity as a warning to be careful when dealing with Choi Jun-ho. The regime may change, but Choi Jun-ho's value will remain unchanged..”
If you mess with Choi Jun-ho, even if you are a close associate of the president, you can be fired..
Gu Byeong-do was a good example..
“Director Cheon, keep that in mind too. Choi Jun-ho is a dog that cannot be tamed. If he feels good, he will adjust to us, but if the number is wrong, we can bite him at any time..”
“I'll keep that in mind.”
“Fire old Byeong-do immediately..”

The position of president of Korea Horsepower Corporation is an important position..
It is a place where all the by-products of hunting by hunting teams under the government of the Republic of Korea are collected, and enormous profits are generated there..
Money meant power. For generations, the position of president of the Horsepower Corporation was a position reserved only for the president's close associates..
The president's associates disappeared overnight. It was announced that the resignation was voluntary, but people who knew the hidden details were busy whispering behind the scenes..
“···Gu Byeong-do was fired because he was disliked by Choi Jun-ho. So, refrain from talking about Choi Jun-ho. They said it was like this?”
Joo-ho Jeong said to me with a smile. He was acting slyly and seemed to be subtly trying to dig up information..
“Maybe so, maybe not..”
“In my opinion, this is 100% correct. The President had fun with his approval ratings, so we followed suit. Isn't that so??”
“well.”
“Anyway, if you look at this, it should look good in the future. If I go against my will, I’ll get fired too, right??”
“Don't worry, that won't happen. And I worry that if I get cut off, there will be a line waiting to take me there.?”
“Hey, you don't have to worry about me. I have a lot of thoughts.”
All of that is terrible too..
Before Nuri appeared, Jeong Joo-ho made a great contribution in the large-scale villain eradication operation..
The National Defense Bureau led the operation to catch more than a thousand villains. As a result, it is evaluated that Jeong Joo-ho was the first to seize the opportunity to be promoted in the Three Kingdoms..
In fact, Jeong Ju-ho's Yongin skills were highly regarded as he succeeded in an operation that encompassed all three kingdoms..
The only flaw is that Jeong Da-hyun's hand is too strong? Isn’t that a compliment?.
“What is a Nachalnyeo? A Nachalnyeo! Dahyun was walking down a gorgeous flower path, but you ruined it all.!”
“The compliment is a bit strange..”
“That's not a compliment, you bastard! why? Are you dissatisfied with me yelling at a superhuman? ok?”
“No complaints. This is Dahyun’s choice..”
“You are the one who had that influence. Making you my second-in-command was the biggest mistake of my life. I thought Dahyun would be in control, but instead, she got tainted and that pure and righteous child now said that the villain's legs should be cut off first... and when she hit the grenade the villain threw and put it in her mouth, it was like, wow.!”
I think he cared about Dahyun Jeong a lot. So shouldn’t we be happy? Dahyun Jeong, before and after meeting me, gained strength of a whole different level with just one mindset..
I think the current choice is actually the right one. If I work harder, I think I'll reach level 7 sooner than in my last life..
I comforted Jung Joo-ho, who was in despair..
“Stress is not good for hair loss.”
“It's okay to talk to you. And I'll take care of it, so don't worry. Even if I hear it from other people, it only makes me feel bad..”
“I saw Yoo Heung-ryeol the other day and it seemed like he would rather push things cool. Director, you have a pretty head, so I'll give it some consideration.······.”
“Get out now!”
I had no choice but to leave the director's office as if I was being kicked out due to Jeong Joo-ho's anger..
Is it my imagination that things seem to be getting more and more hysterical? They say he's the most likely to get promoted, so he's being a little lenient. But I really thought it would look good if I shaved it off and grew a mustache..
I'll have to recommend it again next time..
I was thinking of going to see Jeong Da-hyeon before leaving the National Defense Bureau, but she is patrolling outside. She was promoted to team leader after succeeding in this villain eradication operation and brought up the villain task force to her team..
I left a message saying hello. My talk, which was quite empty, was full of content about Berserker's trip around the country..
Anyway, Dahyun Jeong’s growth is encouraging..
“Once I decide on a path, progress moves quickly..”
That confidence can eat you up, but it can also give you the strength to move forward instead of being discouraged..
Everyone around me is amazed at my hunting skills, but Nuri hunting is not that special to me..
What's really new is that it was the first level 8 monster I caught in my right mind? It was trickier than I thought, but it was everything to me..
But the world’s perspective on me has changed. To the point that Oh Jong-su said that the number of calls had increased so much that it was difficult to handle. The solution is simple. I told them to unplug the phone line..
If it's really necessary, I'll do it to Director Cheon. There are a lot of employees there, so they will sort it out for you..
The place I arrived after leaving the National Protection Bureau was the Holy Guild headquarters. I went straight from the parking lot to the team leader's office without having to go through the front desk..
“Welcome. Why does it feel like it’s been a while since I last saw you??”
“You saw it at the last meeting with Jeon Gil-yeon..”
“At that time, I saw it from afar. Sit.”
Lee Se-hee, who welcomed me, was as gorgeous as always. She wore a white jacket over a black two-piece with rich wavy perm. It was a clear contrast to the calmness I saw last time..
The reason I came to see Lee Se-hee was because I wanted to hear stories from people around me and ask for advice. I was curious about how the requested item worked..
First of all, the potion for attaching the cut area was in poor condition. I decided to invest more once the money came in, and Lee Se-hee accepted without hesitation..
“The foreign countries went crazy when they saw Junho..”
“why?”
“Because I caught level 8 harm by myself. The theory that the avant-garde guild has lost a lot of power is gaining ground, but my curiosity is growing as Lee Chan-taek firmly answers that he is not the master..”
“Is there anything that will grow??”
“Of course, it is of great interest to know how Superhuman Choi Jun-ho captured Nuri..”
I also watched Lee Chan-taek’s interview. Avantgarde officially apologized for looking down on my skills, saying I had no credit in this hunt..
I thought that was a good way too. Now that I am not a villain but a nationally recognized superhuman, I decided to give the guys on the blacklist some time to apologize..
Lee Chan-taek's apology highlighted the blacklist once again..
This is a desirable phenomenon.
Even if I can't step forward in detail, I can make the other person anxious and scared just by saying those words. I could apologize one after another..
Lee Se-hee asked me with curious eyes..
“How did you catch it??”
“I just hit it.”
“Why is it so simple? Just figure out your habits and use them to fill in the gaps! There are countless plans and strategies hidden inside, there is nothing like that.?”
“doesn't exist. All I had to do was get close and hit him on the head..”
“···If it were that simple, not all hunters would have so much trouble hunting monsters..”
It's true, but you don't believe me..
“And the fact that Lee Chan-taek was able to charm Superin is also amazing..”
“Should it be just you?.”
“I'm nothing?”
Lee Se-hee, who pretended not to be, was a real fox..
Considering that my parents were defenselessly bewitched by Lee Se-hee. Even more so.
“The fact that Junho caught Nuri intact is also attracting attention. Usually, corpses don't arrive that unharmed. Is there a secret??”
Because I brainwashed until I died..
When I think about it now, I think Nuri was watching my actions without reacting..
Maybe it's timing?
Actually, I had never tried timing before, so I couldn't tell if it worked or not..
We can try again next time.
Although Lee Se-hee put foreign reactions first, she was well aware that she was gaining information through these conversations. It was a spiteful attitude, but since we had something to exchange, we decided to let this go. I can tear off more later too..
“Many people will come to Korea to see Nuri in real life. At the same time, Junho would also like to see it. It's probably annoying to a lot of people.”
“If you think it will be a hassle, don't participate..”
“It's not easy, but if Junho does that, Director Cheon will suffer again..”
“He's a capable person..”
“but. You're actually famous.”
It was decided to hand over communications from all directions and foreigners to Cheon Myeong-guk. At least if you're going to come, you'll need to be able to speak Korean to deal with me..
“I would like to say that we would like to purchase the monster's heart, but it would be difficult.?”
“I heard they are purchased by government agencies..”
“yes. Since Junho belongs to the government, the government has rights. It's completely stipulated by law. If the government gives up on purchasing, you can try the next one, but you will never get a level 8 heart..”
“If that's the law, there's nothing we can do.”
I don't like the law, but it would be nice to at least pretend to follow it..
Lee Se-hee looked regretful..
“But there are some parts that Junho cannot ignore..”
“What?”
“Junho can process the heart of a monster, right??”
“yes.”
“When the government measures the value of a monster's heart, it is based on the raw heart. If Junho can be processed and evaluated, he will be able to receive much more..”
“okay?”
This is something unexpected. I received 3 times the amount from a stage 6 heart, but how much is a stage 8 heart? Level 6 has a lot of impurities, so I refined it well to change 10 to 30, but the level 8 heart has already been largely refined, so even if I process it, no innovative effect will occur. At most, about 1000 to 1500?
Still, if the efficiency is 1.5 times, 1 trillion becomes 1.5 trillion, so it would be good..
“Yes, but it won't be easy. Government agencies also have a lot of pride..”
“doesn't care. If they continue to be stubborn, they won't sell it and will sell it to the Holy Guild..”
“I'm looking forward to it.”

The heart of a monster is a great source of energy..
The hearts of all monsters contain a certain amount of force, and this energy is eco-friendly and safe, so all power plants are being replaced with the hearts of monsters..
The problem is that a huge number of them are needed. And the key power source is that it has to be a level 8 heart..
If a place like a nuclear power plant were attacked by monsters, an irreversible situation would arise, so it was an inevitable choice for the government. In fact, several places were attacked and the worst happened..
So, when governments obtained the heart of a monster, they attempted to supply electricity through eco-friendly power plants..
However, there were countless fields other than power plants that required the heart of a monster..
The guild used the hearts of monsters to produce weapons that amplified power and armor that improved defense, and continued research to apply them to various fields needed for hunting..
Therefore, an implicit rule was established in which hunting by government-affiliated hunting teams was assigned to the government, and hunting by guilds was assigned to the guild..
In the beginning, there was a time when government-affiliated hunting teams were strong, but as the situation reversed, the amount earned by large guilds began to increase significantly..
How could it be said that the Holy Guild Research Institute is better than the National Science Monster Research Institute?.
Then I caught Nuri. The President said that as soon as the news broke that Nuri had been caught, the National Science and Monster Research Institute contacted him 15 times..
“Oh, this is the heart of a level 8 monster!”
A middle-aged, scholar-like man who identified himself as Lee Myung-hak, director of the National Science and Monster Research Institute, let out an exclamation when he saw Nuri's heart that I held out to him..
The fist-sized heart had a shape that a stranger would mistake for a jewel. The force flowing within it had the power to attract the soul and captivate the viewer..
“It's definitely a level 8 heart.”
“How much does it cost?”
“At this level, 1 trillion is enough.!”
Myunghak Lee spoke in a voice two tones higher than usual..
If you go through processing here, more money will come in..
“I understand that the price goes up after processing..”
“Yes, it will be processed by the best craftsmen in our laboratory..”
“To what extent will the efficiency increase if this is processed??”
“8Stage The heart is already refined and will not stretch to dramatic levels. Efficiency increases from 1.1 times to 1.2 times when processed well..”
After all, I might as well do it..
“Then it would be better for me to take charge of the processing..”
“what do you mean by that!”
“I know how to process.”
“Still, it's level 8 heart! The lab has skilled people who have performed 8-level heart processing.!”
Based on what I've done with my heart when it was a hematoma, I can't say it's more than you guys..
Sometimes I felt frustrated trying to pretend I didn't experience something I had experienced in my last life..
“What I do will be more efficient..”
“Absolutely not!”
“you can do well.”
“Even though······.”
I was completely shocked and couldn't be persuaded..
I changed my ways. I thought about what these people are most afraid of..
Civil servants also preserve their positions..
huh? But why wasn't I scared when I was a civil servant hunter??
“So let’s do it like this. If you do not process it properly, we will provide the heart for free when you kill the next level 8 monster..”
“···1Do you mean over trillion??”
“yes. Instead, the director hangs his head..”
Lee Myung-hak’s expression turned white. Why is it like that all of a sudden?
“I, I have never cursed you behind your back. Rather, I was hoping for a successful hunt and a safe return..”
The reaction was strange. He started to retreat back, covering his neck with both hands..
The President and Cheon Myeong-guk, who were quietly watching, were looking at me like I was crazy..
I was wondering what was wrong and then remembered I mentioned the neck..
“Not the actual neck. I'm asking you to take a seat..”
“······.”
“It's true.”
It seemed like he had no intention of believing it at all..
