The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player

Chapter 131: Police Chief (1)

After giving orders to Yamti to track the Police Chief’s movements, the call was ended.

To expedite the legislation, cooperation from the Chief is necessary.

‘But it’s not like he’ll easily agree just because I say so.’

Then, the solution is to control him.

A simple matter.

The only remaining issue is a matter of conscience.

‘It involves exploiting innocent civilians, but it’s unavoidable if I want to establish the counter-player unit as quickly as possible.’

Somewhere, even now, a crazed player is committing crimes.

Establishing the unit quickly can alleviate the civilians’ anxiety.

At the same time, it would also build up his reputation among civilians.

What Ryu Min wants from the Police Chief is just that.

After controlling him, he would only issue these orders and not interfere afterward with his life.

He could continue living as usual.

Just like the chairman of Player Haven.

Dominating doesn’t make one a puppet without any decision-making power.

Only the commanded tasks are to be faithfully executed.

‘Yamti’s second slot will be now occupied by the Police Chief.’

The first is Song Jae-gyeom, the eldest son of the LC Group.

Since he is the chairman of Player Haven, he cannot be eliminated.

‘With the Police Chief being second, only three slots remain.’

One of the slots will be needed in Nigeria after establishing the unit, and he also needs to save another for emergencies…

‘Only one slot will remain.’

There were fewer slots than expected.

‘It’s better to save the slots, just in case.’

Ma Kyung-rok, An Sang-cheol, Heo Taeseok, Russell, Jo Yong-ho, etc.

The reason he hasn’t dominated the people around him is this.

There aren’t enough slots to accommodate them, and there’s no actual need to dominate them.

They are practically his people already.

‘There’s also something that I need to ask Congressman Lee Sung-hyun to do, but there’s no need to dominate him. I’ve already made a good first impression.’

What’s stronger and better than saving someone’s life?

After organizing his thoughts, Ryu Min grabbed his coat.

Since it came up, he decided to visit Congressman Lee Sung-hyun.

His cooperation is needed for the establishment of the unit.

Ryu Min stepped outside again.

* * *

Congressman Lee Sung-hyun, who worked late at the National Assembly, got into his car.

“Where shall I take you, Congressman?”

“Home, please.”

The bodyguard nodded and started the car.

Usually, after experiencing something as traumatic as kidnapping, one would develop trauma.

Despite that, Lee Sung-hyun employed bodyguards just like before.

Of course, it was a different company, but the fact that it was a player bodyguard remained the same.

His acquaintances worriedly said,

– You were betrayed by a bodyguard, and you hired another?

– Aren’t you scared to employ a player?josei

But every time, Lee Sung-hyun explained,

– Not all players are bad. It’s just the ones causing trouble now who are to blame.

Those who know Lee Sung-hyun well would react with surprise.

Is this really the Congressman Lee Sung-hyun I know?

Of course, it is.

‘I’ve changed a bit since the kidnapping.’

Not just a bit.

His perception had changed significantly from initially declaring all players as trash.

After all, the one who saved him was the very player he despised.

‘Black Scythe, was it?’

He provided enlightenment.

He helped Lee Sung-hyun break free from prejudice and face reality.

‘Not all players are the same. There are just players like Black Scythe who are righteous.’

Holding a weapon doesn’t make one a potential criminal.

It depends on how one wields it, dividing good from evil.

‘I’ve been too narrow-minded.’

Anger over losing his son blinded him to view players through a convenient lens.

‘It’s time for a change. I need to face reality and correct the world.’

The first step towards that goal is the counter-player law.

Fortunately, the law was passed, and a unit to suppress players is planned to be established.

Though it will take some time.

‘I’ve done what I can. Time will solve the problem.’

Lee Sung-hyun thought of Black Scythe.

He had fulfilled his request to proceed with the law.

Could this lighten the burden on his conscience?

Lee Sung-hyun shook his head.

What could possibly repay the debt of saving his life?

He would be eternally grateful even if he thanked him for a lifetime.

‘I regret not being able to properly repay him before parting.’

With a feeling of regret, Lee Sung-hyun also looked up the name Black Scythe.

Unknown to the general public but extremely famous among players.

‘He has been maintaining the top rank without losing it and is the only one to reach level 80, a true master…’

He also achieved first place in this 8th round.

That means he’s still alive.

‘If only I could meet him once more…’

When asked by police and reporters about Black Scythe’s appearance, Lee Sung-hyun falsely testified that he only heard his voice.

Even though he knew his appearance, he didn’t disclose it.

It seemed like the right thing to do for Black Scythe.

“We’ve arrived, Congressman.”

Lee Sung-hyun got out of the car and took the elevator with the bodyguard.

Even until then, Lee Sung-hyun had no particular thoughts but was shocked upon reaching the front door of his home.

‘That person is…!’

A tall man with tanned skin.

Black Scythe was waiting at the front entrance of his home.

Surprised by Lee Sung-hyun’s reaction, the bodyguard’s eyes filled with wariness.

“Do you know this person?”

“Ah, yes. He’s an acquaintance of mine. Don’t worry and head home.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. I’m sure.”

After reassuring the bodyguard to leave, the tanned man spoke.

“I’m sorry, Congressman. Did I startle you by coming suddenly?”

“Ah, no, not much, just a little.”

Although it seemed like he was quite startled, Ryu Min didn’t argue.

“May I speak with you quietly inside?”

“Sure. Let’s go in.”
