The crazy villain regains his sanity - Episode 87

87fury

Baekgunseo’s eyebrows twitched. Why does it look uncomfortable?.

Was I not kind enough? Or maybe kindness wasn't appropriate? I don't understand your reaction..

“What are you talking about??”

“The media is making a lot of noise, but do we have to recite everything one by one? Tell me to tell you to my face.”

“If you don't like it?”

“There are ways to get them to talk.”

“Should I try it?.”

So you think I can’t do it? Does he really think he is stronger? If I'm mistaken, I should let you know..

When the atmosphere in the hall was tense, Lee Se-hee, who was far away, rushed over and tried to stop him..

“Mr. Junho.”

I pretended not to hear and fixed my eyes on Baek Gunseo..

“I like to go all the way..”

“One thing is certain: consistency..”

Baekgunseo snorts and stands up..

“I hate pointless fights. There's nothing to talk about. This position is getting uncomfortable so I have to get up. If you’re curious, let’s hear from Sehee..”

After saying that, Baekgunseo left the conference room. Tensions eased as the standoff was resolved, but the meeting was still chaotic..

···Didn't you run away in the end??

You say you're dissatisfied with me, but you don't actually say it in front of me..

Even if I ask kindly, I don’t think they all answer..

Lee Se-hee breathed a sigh of relief..

“Junho, I’ll tell you everything later..”

“You won't be able to hear it from the gentleman who left the room.?”

“It's not really important. It's not a bad misunderstanding. please let me speak.”

“okay.”

That being said, I have no choice but to skip it once..

I couldn't pass up Lee Se-hee's earnest attitude..

After the Eoyeongbuyeong small and medium-sized art planning meeting, I moved to my seat and was able to hear the detailed story from Lee Se-hee..

“My uncle wanted me to value the sacred guild hunting know-how more. It is an asset that the guild has built up over a long period of time and has been kept completely secret from outsiders..”

“I guess there is some special method.?”

“There is nothing unusual. As hunting data accumulates, there are a wealth of tips for responding to emergency situations and ways to deal with monsters. We have kept the secret with strict rules..”

I mentioned that Yoonhee is innocent..

“Yoonhee never told me either..”

“Phew!”

Lee Se-hee's serious expression relaxed and she burst into laughter..

“If you say that to someone else, they will think you said it..”

“is it?”

“yes. I know what Junho was thinking, but there are a lot of twisted people in this world. He listens and interprets it the way he likes..”

“Right.”

It's strange that you revealed something that was kept secret..

I listened to Lee Se-hee’s words..

“And Dahyun, who left the guild, is also keeping it an absolute secret. but.”

Lee Se-hee said that Baek Gun-seo's words were correct, but her reaction was clearly different from usual..

I wasn't really surprised because I knew that I would be standing on the other side of Lee Se-hee in the succession battle in the future, but I think it was quite a shock to those involved..

Of course, it's just words..

Lee Se-hee was the heroine who took over Shinsung Group in that situation..

“I know the real reason?”

“sorry. Because it's housework.”

“okay.”

He doesn't want to say more, so there's no reason to pry..

I think I know the reason.

However, it will be difficult to resolve from the parties involved. Then the higher-ups should be responsible..

“It should have been resolved quietly. It's all my fault.”

“It's not your fault. It's the fault of the person who rushed forward.”

“I wasn't very considerate. I felt comfortable with my uncle and Junho. I need to reflect.”

Since you said you would do that, I can't say anything more..

He'll take care of it himself..

However, there are people other than Lee Se-hee who need to be treated well. This is Lee Se-hee's father, Chairman Lee Young-moon..

“So what to do? I'm into it?”

“No, I will convince you. My uncle also understands my intentions. I would like to ask you to come as an observer..”

“okay.”

In the end, Lee Se-hee achieved what she wanted..

But it was clear that the brakes were put on hold due to the White Army..

Here, braking meant Lee Se-hee's position within the Shinsung Group was increasing. Once she's caught in the bump, no matter what she does, she'll be noticed by the White Army..

Even if Lee Se-hee conducts the actual work, the symbolism of Baekgunseo cannot be ignored..

There is only one person who can untie this knot.

Lee Young-moon, Chairman of Shinsung Group.

I don’t know much about it, but Lee Young-moon is evaluated as a good person..

It was he who placed his daughter in the Holy Guild and empowered her so that she could demonstrate her talents. However, it is strange that there is such a commotion and no action is taken..

You said you're not feeling well, so are you going to do it tomorrow? Despite that, Lee Se-hee's expression was bright. Then there was a high probability that this guy would be left alone and watched..

“I don't like it.”

“What?”

“It's just that suddenly there's someone I don't like.”

“I feel sorry for that person.”

I couldn't say he was your father..

I'll have to see the face and see how it came to be eaten..

The reason I go to see Lee Young-moon is simple..

I hope Lee Se-hee becomes the next chairman of Shinsung Group..

Not only does she take care of various tasks, but Lee Se-hee is better as a business partner than Lee Se-chan..

Having confirmed in my mind that I would meet Lee Young-moon, I released the brakes on Lee Se-hee..

“You can move a little more blatantly.”

“What do you mean??”

“If you're careful, you won't get what you want. Not everyone can like you. The same goes for people around you, and people within your group and guild. So those who hate you, boldly give up.”

“······.”

Lee Se-hee looks at me blankly.

It is possible to be hated by everyone, but it is impossible to be accepted and loved by everyone..

Because jealousy exists in humans.

And I, too, could not overcome the feelings of inferiority and jealousy within me and became a hematoma..

Now that I came to my senses, I was able to reflect on how I felt at the time..

“If you do well, people will eventually follow your lead..”

“That's correct. I guess I became discouraged without even realizing it. Thank you, I will do my best.”

“I just gave it a try. I don't normally do this.”

I definitely feel that I have come to my senses..

If it had been a hematoma, I would have watched Lee Se-hee quietly no matter what situation she was in..

Now that I've come to my senses, I can give you this normal advice. not bad.

“I'm saying this because it's easy to work with you..”

“Yeah, I never knew it was so reassuring to have someone to trust..”

The sparkling eyes made me feel burdened. If you look at me more, nothing will come out..

So I changed the topic.

“Let’s at least train for small arts..”

“I was waiting.”

The more you trust me, the more I have to push you harder..

···But the more Lee Se-hee does it, the more I like it..

He's a little strange.

* * *

After completing training, Lee Se-hee visited the Baekgun Office..

I was planning on clearing up any misunderstandings before Soye showed up..

“uncle.”

“Why did you come?.”

“I want to talk.”

Lee Se-hee sat across from Baek Gun-seo, who was drinking whiskey alone..

Baek Kun-seo gathered his brows as he looked at her, who had just washed up and was soft and fluffy. He was a nephew who didn't hurt even if he put it in his eyes. I didn't like this confrontation..

Lee Se-hee made eye contact with Baek Gun-seo and held out her glass..

“Please give me a drink too.”

Baekgunseo filled the cup..

The scent of whiskey in contact with the air has become stronger..

“Ugh, use it.”

“So drink well.”

“I was trying to set the mood..”

Regardless of what was said from outside, Lee Se-hee has a close relationship with Baek Gun-seo..

When I was young, it was Baekgunseo that struggled to put the Holy Guild on the rock, and it was Baekgunseo that supported Chairman Lee Young-moon when he was having a hard time..

Although they do not share the same blood, Baekgunseo was more than just a biological uncle to Lee Sehee..

So even if it wasn't my fault, I wanted to apologize if I wasn't considerate enough..

Baek Gunseo responded to Lee Se-hee's tolerance with a somber expression..

“Sehee.”

“yes uncle.”

“I know how you feel too. So stop it. Because I don’t feel bad.”

“uncle. What's going on??”

“It's not like that. I think I just felt empty without realizing it..”

“······.”

Lee Se-hee quietly listened to Baekgunseo’s words..

“This is Choi Jun-ho. At first he thought that an outstanding talent had appeared, but the more he looked at him, the more amazing he became. I was a genius that could not be compared to anyone else, but there was someone even greater than me. I know it's not a good comparison, but the more I watched, the more frustrated I felt. Then he told me that he had decided to become an observer without consulting me, so I got nervous without knowing it..”

“yes, sorry.”

“I'm embarrassed that my narrow-mindedness has been revealed. In the end, I am also human to this extent. It's okay to be disappointed.”

“What about disappointment? It's nice to feel humanity..”

“thanks.”

Baekgunseo’s expression became much more relaxed..

“We will manage it thoroughly so that there is no disruption to hunting. I'll talk to Choi Jun-ho again when I see him, so don't worry too much..”

“thank you.”

“Of course it has to be done..”

Lee Se-hee knows that what Baek Gun-seo said was not everything. However, neither Baek Gunseo nor Lee Se-hee opened their mouths until the end..

The two clinked their glasses and drank whiskey one after another..

Lee Se-hee left the room, slightly intoxicated, and sighed deeply..

“You don't tell me there is another reason..”

* * *

When I returned home, I explained the situation to Yunhee..

Hearing the serious expression on his face that I rarely see, the guy nodded and sighed..

“I'm glad it worked out well..”

“Was it serious??”

“huh. I heard that the director and her older sister are close. When two people like that collide, who wouldn't be nervous? Both of them are essential to the guild..”

“I don't know why?”

“I don't know. As far as I know, Sehee unni said that the director was very proud, but I don't think she can get over it smoothly, but I also think her brother is unusual..”

Yunhee said, the pride of a superman is like the sky and no one can touch it..

Come to think of it, many of the super people I saw at the World Super Power Day event were corpses, except for their pride. This guy would come to his senses only if you turned him into a real corpse..

Rather, James Reed and Chef Guillermo were unusual examples..

Things that don't matter what your skills are, just build up your pride?

Berserker doesn't show any pride or anything like that..

Is it true that the less skilled you are, the more you build up your pride?.

“Now I know what a great brother I have.?”

“Do you think I’ll do well like that??”

“I'm not looking forward to it at all..”

“uh? My mind is straight. I thought you were crazy as usual..”

Yoonhee Choi, this is crossing the line..

Still, I got certified by my younger brother that I was sane..

From an older brother's point of view, it would be normal behavior to act in order to help your younger sibling grow..

“Don't think strangely, you will die..”

“You won't die if you train a little.”

“The way you do it can really kill you.?”

···I guess I'll have to watch it some more and try it out..

What I felt while training Sehee Lee is that humans laugh when they reach extreme situations. If Yunhee also follows this mindset, she will soon open her gift..

Anyway, Yun-hee thought that Baek Gun-seo's behavior was strange, and I agreed..

So, that means some other external force was involved. The only people who can do that are Shinsung Group Chairman Lee Young-moon or his older brother Lee Se-chan..

It is the latter that has a negative influence on Lee Se-hee..

Then there is only one thing left..

“Is Lee Se-chan not coming to the Holy Guild??”

“The eldest son of the group? I've hardly ever seen you in the guild... Ah! I saw it once last time. I was with the director at that time..”

I knew it. So, did Baek Gunseo line up for Lee Se-chan?.

“What did you do?”

“Yeah, I heard you ate together? Maybe we met because the group was busy?.”

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.

I will let Lee Se-hee know and I will also look into it..

Before that, I need to take a look at the guy who didn't control the traffic properly..

* * *

The place I arrived in the middle of the night was the mansion where Lee Young-moon lives..

Strangely, the Shinsung Group family did not live in the same house, but Lee Young-moon, his wife, Lee Se-chan, and Lee Se-hee lived separately..

Lee Young-moon lives in the most central district, Pyeongchang-dong, Jongno-gu..

As the number one business leader in Korea and the chairman of Shinsung Group, which is considered the best guild, he is a person who can be seen as more powerful than the president..

Elected positions are limited, but money and force are forever..

So the government tries to take away the power of the conglomerates, and the conglomerates resist to protect what is theirs..

“So what should I do? I have to be healthy to enjoy life for a thousand years and ten thousand years..”

Lee Yeong-moon was very talented, but his health was not good..

Therefore, they almost refrained from external activities and were rarely exposed to the media..

Yoon-hee says that it adds to the mystery, but just looking at it, it's nonsense. He seems to be the type of person who likes to make things happen behind the scenes rather than being at the forefront..

Of course, it gets to this point because there are things that are out of your control..

Personally, I don't like his shady personality, but since he's Lee Se-hee's father, I shouldn't kill him, right? I have to endure it.

“It's as expected.”

The mansion where Lee Young-moon lived was like a fortress surrounded by walls. Starting from the surrounding mansions, roads and CCTV installed everywhere, it seemed like a place where you could never avoid your eyes..

It's easy to sneak into a place like this..

I climbed up, stepping on the air, in a place without CCTV..

If there is snow on the ground, the sky is the best. I climbed up to an incredible height and arrived at the top of the mansion..

Even if you fall here, you will be caught. Because the crime prevention system installed throughout the mansion can identify me..

So I dropped a coin.

Clink!

wow wow!

The dogs barked, but after a while they quieted down. I cast Transference before the remaining force on the coin dissipated..

“It's so easy?”

Since it goes through space, it can be broken through by some kind of crime prevention system..

I broke through the security net and entered the mansion. There was silence in the mansion on a late night..

I arrived in the bedroom, the only light on..

When I went inside, I saw a small, grayish middle-aged man sitting at a work table and reading documents..

This man is Lee Young-moon, Chairman of Shinsung Group..

He looked up as if he sensed my presence and didn't look surprised at all..

“Did you come to kill me??”

“Why??”

It looks like it won't last long even if I don't touch it.?

“···Choi Jun-ho. What's going on?”

Meanwhile, I recognized my face..

“I have something to say.”

“So, if you've come this far, it's not a good story. Let's sit down first.”

I sat on the chair opposite Lee Young-moon. It was as comfortable as being at home..

“Yeah, why are you here?.”

“Take proper care of your children. your son.”

I told you this because I thought I would kill you with my own hands if I didn't..
