The crazy villain regains his mind - Episode 55
55fury
Anna Christine responds to James Reed's comments.
“What does it matter that he's the Eradicator? Isn’t that actually a good thing??”
People's eyes focused on her..
“If you look at the Eradicator's actions, it's simple. 'After evaporating the villain organization that was operating secretly in Ansan, he disappeared. A similar copycat crime occurred afterward, but it is presumed that it was not an expunger.' The Eradicator has only appeared once, and even that only wiped out a villain organization. Is it because you killed the vice mayor? We should criticize him for being with the villain organization in the first place. It's hasty to call the Eradicator a villain..”
“Anna, we call people who act as they please outside of the government's control a villain..”
“I think differently. Global trends are increasingly tightening the grip on awakened people. This is encouraging the league’s ideas to flourish. You have to look broadly. If you say this can't be done and that can't be done, then in the end, you'll end up with nothing but a villain, right? This is behavior the league is encouraging..”
“The league······.”
“Now, we're not talking about the league, are we?.”
Anna Christine and James Reed take a step back after the Vice President's timely intervention.
“Does Christine still feel the need to recruit Choi Jun-ho??”
“Rather, we should bring more. Headbreaker and Eradicator, two completely different nicknames mean he is most likely a dual gift user..”
“···It is true that there is no disagreement about his talent..”
Even James Reed, who was opposed to Choi Jun-ho's recruitment, left a high praise for his talent..
It probably means that the talent is real..
It's hard to believe that the talent that could make one the best doesn't come from the United States. Although the Vice President felt disappointed, he decided to take comfort in the fact that he did not appear in a virtual enemy country..
The Vice President said after organizing his thoughts:.
“Here are my thoughts: America is large, and there are many places to protect. We must attract talented awakeners to protect one more citizen. Even if the past is a little difficult, it is for the benefit of the United States..”
“I agree too.”
“In that sense, Choi Jun-ho is an awakened person with talent. Even if he is an expunger, if he can kill more monsters, we should bring him in. If he is not an expunger, he will have to be dragged in even more. The high possibility of becoming a villain is only a possibility, and it is the think tank's job to prevent that from happening. We can do it.”
“······.”
“James.”
“I simply conveyed my concerns. I am not dissatisfied with the Vice President's decision..”
“great. I will leave contact with Choi Jun-ho to Christine..”
“I'll do my best.”
The Vice President nodded after completing traffic control..
“I'll talk to the president tomorrow..”
*
The next day, the President and the Vice President of the United States had a private meeting at the Blue House..
“The potential of the Republic of Korea is always surprising. I was impressed.”
“The only thing that can stand out in this small land is people. I was just faithful to my duty..”
“The exchange exhibition was also impressive. Yang, in particular, seemed like he would be a promising talent in the future. The students who came to this exchange event must have gained a lot of enlightenment..”
“The same goes for us. I think it was an opportunity for the students to realize the walls of the world and become more motivated..”
The atmosphere of the conversation was friendly..
Even that was just a made-up story, and there was fierce targeting going on behind the scenes..
‘What's on your mind??’
The President raised his guard because he thought there might be a reason for the Vice President's sudden request to meet..
There was some light talk about personal matters, but the Vice President was the first to reveal his true feelings..
“I heard some time ago that a level 8 villain has appeared..”
“Are you talking about Berserker? Fortunately, it wasn't a villain that posed a major threat..”
“Other than that, I'm talking about Eraser. Did you say eraser in Korean??”
The president narrowed his eyes and put down the teacup he was holding..
“···This is a villain who only appears once, but for the reason you mention it.?”
“I am concerned that we could not find it in a place with a tight border network like Korea..”
“It's been quiet since the first appearance, so it's okay..”
“Is it okay to say that no trace was found??”
“So, are you saying we should try to find the Eradicator together??”
“To put it bluntly, that’s true..”
Why is the eraser not even appearing??
The vice president's actions actually fueled suspicion..
It was clear there was something..
“I don't know if there's any reason to do that..”
“Our analysis is that the Eradicator may be a hunter deeply embedded in society..”
“Hehe, anyway, he is a villain who is estimated to be level 8..”
“Isn't there a level 8 superhuman that appeared recently?.”
“······.”
Unlike the President's stiff expression, the Vice President smiled leisurely..
“According to our analysis, Choi Jun-ho may be an eraser..”
“This is an issue that could lead to a big dispute..”
“I'm still at the stage of doubt. We will provide analysis accordingly. I am giving this to you without any other self-interest and purely in the hope that you will understand, so I hope there is no misunderstanding. And when you decide, please tell me. We will do our best to cooperate as allies..”
The president relaxed his expression and smiled..
“thank you I will take note. We will not forget America’s kindness.”
“Aren’t we eternal allies?.”
“That's right. It's an eternal friend.”
The two ended the conversation with smiles, hiding their knives from each other..
*
“······.”
Cheon Myeong-guk, who had been summoned by the President, quietly nodded after hearing the conversation between him and the Vice President..
“what do you think?”
“This is a reasonable assumption. There is also a report submitted to the President..”
“It was like that. So I said it as a joke.”
“I was very surprised because you seemed sincere..”
“Did you? Anyway, looking at America's scent, I guess he's just greedy.?”
“The inaction of the Eradicator deserves more attention than its danger. It is a proven fact that if two people are the same person, they can exert level 8 power in two directions with the Dual Gift. perhaps······.”
“Tell me.”
“The work may have come about because Choi Jun-ho was seen as the person closest to level 9..”
level 9.
It's a level that has never appeared yet..
We can only guess how great that strength will be..
An unknown state with no idea how to classify or measure it..
But one thing is clear.
The country with level 9 superhumans will be the country closest to world hegemony..
Could it be that you were watching all the way there?.
The President felt goosebumps rising..
“What should I do if it turns out that I am an expunger? Should I be arrested??”
“Are you serious??”
“Just kidding. Of course it should be buried. Could it be that the dead vice mayor will let go of Choi Jun-ho just because it is our party? There's no comparison in terms of value alone..”
“······.”
“However, they can move to manipulate our public opinion in the United States. So, change the image of the Eradicator behind the scenes. A dark hero who eliminated villain organizations and rescued human trafficking victims..”
“All right.”
The President laughed as he watched Cheon Myeong-guk move right behind him..
“I'm going to have to put a lot of spit on it so it can't be tricked. No, do I have to spit at all?.”
It was something I was seriously concerned about..
*
As the American delegation was leaving its final event, I was greeting Lee Se-hee, who was visiting the National Guard..
“How was the exchange match??”
“The level was higher than I thought..”
“Because it is the most powerful country in the world. They train them in much more detail than we do and give them practical experience at an early age. Otherwise, you won't be able to handle the number of monsters..”
“Because there is a lot of land to protect.”
“that's right.”
The larger the territory of a large country, the more places there are to protect, so awakened people inevitably have no choice but to aim for actual combat..
In particular, in cases where the territory was large and the population was small, the actual controlled area was reduced to less than 20% in some places..
“I came to talk about Heartwalker.?”
“yes. Heartwalker's mother is not in good condition..”
“in what sense?”
“Even if treatment is delayed, it is too late. Since the treatment I was receiving in Busan was also a narcotic drug, the side effects were also overlapping.······.”
Lee Se-hee's explanation was that in fact, the only option was life-sustaining treatment..
Is it too late?.
I wasn't particularly impressed by this. Because it was the best I could do. Even if Oh Jong-su were in the same situation, I would have felt the same way..
“There's nothing we can do if that's the best.”
“And about Kim Jonghyun.······.”
“Speak comfortably.”
“I have a bad work attitude.”
Lee Se-hee said that Heartwalker has an excessively free-spirited work attitude and does not follow his superiors' instructions at all, making him a thorn in the lab's side..
“I have the acumen and dexterity to make up for it, but I never know when I'll have an accident..”
“It's a problem.”
“yes.”
Since I brought Heartwalker, he was speaking purely based on my perception..
“The reason I brought him here is because I like both his keen eye and his dexterity..”
“I'm sure you have talent.”
“But if it's more of a hindrance than a help, there's no need to use it. If the loss outweighs the gain, contact me..”
“yes, thank you.”
Only then did Lee Se-hee's expression brighten..
Then, after explaining the progress of the new drug, he moved on to processing methods..
They say that my bringing in Heartwalker was effective and that progress has improved noticeably..
Unlike me, who pushes with an incredible amount of force, he relies on delicacy and sense. It is Lee Se-hee's job to make this universal. And based on the samples created by Heartwalker, considerable progress has been made and commercialization is underway..
“You'll have to make up your mind soon..”
“What are you prepared for??”
“A huge villain is going to visit Junho..”
“Just kill it and that's it.
”I can never kill you.“
Lee Se-hee smiled confidently..
“It's the villain called taxes..”
Lee Se-hee explained that if the processing method becomes popular, licenses will be sold all over the world, so the amount of money that will fall to me will be enormous..
Shinsung Group will be even more successful.
Lee Se-hee recommended me to set up a corporation as a way to save taxes..
different from what I think.
“Just pay it all.”
“yes? Still, you have to save money······.”
“Why? it's okay.”
Since I already had enough money to last my entire life, I didn't want to go between legal and illegal laws to save on taxes..
If I have time to think about it, it would be better for me to catch one more monster..
Rather, if you pay all your taxes, you can proudly defeat the villain..
“If you think like that, you can't help it..”
“Rather, I am concerned about something else..”
I asked if I should give Heartwalker a share, but Lee Se-hee shook her head firmly..
“I think that's early. Why not watch the sales happen and make decisions slowly??”
“If that's the case. But can it make that much money??”
“yes.”
He said that it is a processing method that can increase the efficiency of a monster's heart, so it is a method that everyone wants..
At that time, a knock was heard from outside, and the door opened before I could answer..
The person coming in was Anna Christine. How did she get into the National Guard??
The person who answered the question was Jung Joo-ho, who was smiling in the background. When my eyes met his, he gave me a thumbs up and walked away..
“Hi, Junho. There was Princess Lee.”
“How to get here?”
“I came to see Junho and the director guided me.?”
Anna Christine, smiling, quickly sat down next to me..
Lee Se-hee’s eyebrows twitched..
“why are you sitting there?”
“Do you have something to say to Junho? Also, I thought it would distract people's attention if I sat next to Princess Lee..”
“···I don't like it.”
“How can you feel the same way as me?.”
I felt it last time too, but it didn't seem like the two were getting along very well..
I started to stop traffic.
“I'm talking about this, so it would be nice if you could come in after everything is over..”
“ah! I see. I thought it was all over because the director guided me. Princess Lee, Sorry.”
“······.”
Just looking at it, Lee Se-hee seemed to be in a bad mood..
As Anna Christine winks and goes outside, Lee Se-hee sighs..
“phew! I can't calm down when I look at that ridiculous thing..”
“It’s my pace.”
“Junho, that woman is a real monster, so be careful..”
“I'll go with you when the mission leaves anyway..”
“Well, maybe I said something for no reason. But one thing is clear.”
Lee Se-hee made a meaningful expression..
“That woman will do whatever it takes to get Junho to come to America. and.”
The smile on my lips becomes deeper..
“It will fail miserably..”
But I don't know why you want to die.
*
Anna Christine, who was waiting outside the meeting room, waved at Sehee Lee who was coming out..
“Are you finished talking? It finished early. Or did you have nothing to say?.”
“We've already had a pretty deep conversation. It was about various things you might not know..”
“is it so?”
“These are sticky stories that can never be separated from me..”
There was nothing in the world as tough as a relationship tied to money..
It was a bait thrown to mislead people, but Anna Christine remained calm..
“does not matter. A man's past is a trace that tells us that he is attractive. I also want to leave a lot of traces in those traces..”
“···Anna, I know what your purpose is. But it won't be easy.”
“You don't know that. Even men who are infinitely cold-hearted judge something else at a crucial moment..”
“We'll see..”
Lee Se-hee left her seat with a cold wind blowing on her face, and Anna Christine moistened her lips with her tongue and quickly checked her makeup before entering the meeting room and then went inside. I saw Choi Jun-ho..
He always had an attractive face. In addition to this, he has the skills to establish himself as the world's best in the future. I've used the honey trap on countless targets, but this is the first time I've encountered one I've been so passionate about..
So I really wanted it.
“I have something I want to say?”
“Yes, I heard that Junho signed a regular contract with the Korean government. I was wondering if you had any plans for next time..”
“Less than half a year has passed since the contract was signed..”
“Still, wouldn’t it be better to make plans for the future??”
Choi Jun-ho stared at his face. I felt like my face was getting hot for no reason. Maybe you can see it turning red. I should have put on a bit more makeup.
“Are you asking me to come to America?.”
“To put it bluntly, yes. I hope Junho comes to America and can freely do whatever he wants..”
Anna Christine lists the good things about coming to the United States.
“Above all, there is freedom. This is also what Junho needs..”
“Be free······.”
“Yes, freedom. It is different from Korea, where much of it is restricted by law. Freedom, treatment, and respect. And love too.”
Anna Christine said that and smiled. After the last disastrous failure, I calmly recovered and waited for today to come..
This man is never tempted by what is right in front of him. We need to build goodwill step by step and build trust that will never be broken..
It was Lee Se-hee who established that status as a business partner in a short period of time. She's done it herself, there's no reason she can't do it herself.
“America isn't bad either.”
“I'm not asking you to make a decision right away. Slowly, this means that the United States should be taken into consideration when the contract is completed..”
“It won't be difficult. That's right.”
“Instead, there may be good things about making decisions faster..”
Anna Christine grabbed the front buckle and opened it slightly. It's a more blatant temptation than the first time. You can either come over it or not. Even if only an afterimage is left, it is a great success..
I felt eyes on me. It's a success. No matter how cold he was, a man was still a man..
It was time to praise myself..
“however.”
“yes.”
“How old will you be when my contract ends??”
“······.”
Anna Christine's expression hardened at the sudden age attack..
*
The American delegation returned.
Although it was a short period of time, the visit to the United States left a lot to be desired..
In particular, James Reed, this guy spoke in broken Korean and pretended to be innocent, but I felt like he was a smart raccoon. He was trying to scan me, seemingly unaware that curiosity would shorten his life..
Anna Christine's suggestion seemed like it would be a useful card in the future..
In addition, while watching the vice president and senators, I felt that it was a very systematic and rational system..
In the exchange match, Yang Joo-hyuk stood out, but Go Myeong-hak, who repeatedly thanked him for being a complete reformer, made me feel dumbfounded..
“This is the next problem.”
“China will never go easy on.”
The President and Cheon Myeong-guk were talking and then looked at me with eyes full of worry..
Next to the US is China's visit..
China added a lot of demands from the beginning, one of which was asking me to come pick them up..
I gladly accepted the offer. I wanted to see what kind of guys they were..
“I'm begging you.”
“yes.”
The Chinese delegation's visit was three days after the United States left..
The scale was much larger than that of the United States. Their leader was Zhang Zedong, China's superman and guardian of the three northeastern provinces..
40He was a man who looked older than his age, looked like he was in his early teens, had angular sports hair, and sharp eyes..
When he died by my hand, he looked like that and was about 20 years older. It was a bit messy back then, but it's still not normal now..
He got off the plane ahead of time and immediately came over to where I was and said:.
“Are you that immature superhuman?.”
If you came to Korea, you would talk in Korean..
I didn't know what was being said, but I could tell the meaning just by looking at the changes in the expressions around me..
I smiled and said.
“The guy who was exiled to the border is crazy after breathing the city air and runs wild..”
The interpreter conveyed my instructions to interpret without adding or subtracting..
“dare······!”
As if he had received the message correctly, Zhang Zedong's expression hardened, his eyes glowed with murder, and his hand came out first..
As if he had made up his mind, a hand suddenly reached my face and swept me like a scratch..
When I slightly tilted my head to avoid it, a hand bent its orbit and aimed for my neck..
I raised my left hand and tried to grab his wrist, but he threw it away right away. I tried to grab his wrist, ignoring the repulsion force..
The fierce force collided and an attack and defense went back and forth. I persistently followed the hand that was targeting me like a snake. In the end, after five attacks, Zhang Zedong's wrist was caught in my hand..
I got a card!
Jiang Zedong's force desperately resisted the mines trying to penetrate inside. However, the mine digging speed was faster. Among the gifts that destroy opponents, none are as persistent as mines..
Finally, just as the mine was about to penetrate into the skin, Zhang Zedong's body became blurred and disappeared, appearing at the very back of the delegation..
It was his gift transfer. The transference I have was obtained by killing that guy in my last life..
I didn't bother to chase it, I just watched it..
“Let them know that you enjoyed the gift..”
The guy's expression was frozen when he heard what I said..
I don't mind if I end this here..
Are you scared? If you’re not scared, then go for it..
But he didn't react anymore.
“···Follow your schedule.”
It's a shame.
