Episode 132
Choi Jun-ho passed away and the President looked at Cheon Myeong-guk. For some reason, there was a smile on his face.
“I somehow ended up wasting all of Director Cheon’s vacation.”
“I am okay.”
“Are you really okay?”
“….”
Cheon Myeong-guk was silent and confessed that his words were empty. The feeling of loss was bound to be great as the long-awaited vacation was wasted.
Yes, after all, it’s lonely when you go home and there’s no one there.
Although I achieved a mental victory like that, I still regret it.
The president sensed his feelings.
He is also a married man.
“Soon, I will make the dispatch period for a few days. “Then go to a quiet place and get some rest.”
“yes? But…”
“You faithfully assisted me by my side, so I should give you at least that much. Instead, there will be a few minor tasks, so finish them quickly and get a good rest. “It’s not a vacation, it’s a business trip.”
“…thank you.”
“I have to do this as a favor.”
Smiles spread across the faces of the President and Cheon Myeong-guk.
After all, only married men understand the feelings of married men.
But when he returned to reality for a moment, his expression returned to its original state.
“The problem is money.”
“Yes, there will definitely be noise.”
“I wish Choi Jun-ho would allow a little more leeway, but it would be difficult, right?”
“I think if you wait for that, a big accident could happen.”
“Hmm, I think the same thing. “Then it won’t be easy.”
The president trusted neither politicians nor corporations. I didn’t want their heads to explode if they got greedy for a lot of money.
When it comes to corruption, isn’t there something you shouldn’t do?
Even if there is a strong deterrent like Choi Jun-ho, people can change their attitude at any time when money is in front of them.
“It’s a dilemma. “It’s becoming more and more difficult for us to handle.”
“The biggest problem is when it gets so bad that you start wishing you had left.”
“That should never happen. But you don’t know what happens to people.”
“We will prepare countermeasures.”
The President raised his hand to stop him.
“No, I will have to use my strength for this. Oh, I’m not excluding you. “There will be other experts, so it would be better to invite that expert and discuss it together.”
“yes.”
“I hope something like this doesn’t happen that I’m worried about.”
Cheon Myeong-guk calmly nodded at the president’s shady expression.
* * *
There is a long-standing social group in the United States.
Closed yet open at the same time, they have maintained their influence by accepting members who have been in power for over hundreds of years and new members who have emerged as powerful members.
By establishing a solid alliance system, such as forming friendships and marriages, they discussed the world situation and coordinated their interests, creating events that will leave a lasting mark in history.
Although they were called things like Freemasonry and Illuminati, they simply called their gatherings ‘party’.
Usually, the conversation is mainly about business, but there were times when the aftermath swept across the world.
They each freely expressed their opinions while drinking cocktails or whiskey at their individual round standing tables.
Among them, a large man wearing a lion mask asked the white ghost masked man in the center.
“What do you say about ‘he’ in the league?”
“It is said that the three evils are currently in seclusion and the scale of their activities has been extremely reduced. “The league power is also inactive, so it is difficult to figure out what their plan is.”
“Then there’s no point in infiltrating the League, is there?”
“No, the league is still a threatening force, so it is right to watch. “Argos is not an easy guy, so clumsy movements can be revealed through gaps here.”
“That’s not good.”
“The league managed to build up this level of power while avoiding our eyes. “It would be difficult to underestimate them.”
“I don’t look down on you.”
“You don’t think you can erase it right away if you put your mind to it?”
“….”
The lion mask was silent.
The ghost mask clicked its tongue lowly in exaggerated confidence.
There were many times when it was impossible to deal with it rationally because whenever the topic of the league came up, people started rushing at it with fire in their eyes.
If you don’t stop it in the middle, it will run wild.
Even though I thought he was a pain in the ass, I also thought it would be a waste to leave that skill alone.
“As for the league issue, once we get certain information, we will move on.”
Ghost Mask looked around.
“Today’s topic is different, so let’s get to the point.”
The atmosphere in the hall was settled by the voice of the party host, the ghost mask.
Today’s party theme is not about the league, but about one person.
It was extremely rare for a party with hundreds of years of history to feature just one person as the theme.
But he made today’s meeting so difficult.
The actions shown in just one year had such a powerful impact that they could change the world situation.
“As everyone knows, we talk about ‘how to control Choi Jun-ho.’ If you have a good opinion, feel free to express it.”
Normally, one person’s name would not have come up here.
However, Choi Jun-ho’s performance was so great that it far exceeded their imagination.
In particular, it came as a great shock to hunt down two plus-level monsters at the same time before entering North Korea and to collapse the Ryu Gwang-cheol regime.
They couldn’t even think of attacking the league and all they did was try to appease them.
No one thought that they could achieve this much through their own efforts.
In the world, Choi Jun-ho is already evaluated as the strongest player in the world.
As a result, the Republic of Korea is running at a frightening pace.
If we do not control it now, it will become a major disaster in the future.
Just as the league was born after thinking it was nothing special.
Lion Mask said.
“He’s not a big worry. Even if they are strong alone, they are only mavericks, so all you have to do is induce them to isolate themselves, look for an opportunity, and then eliminate them.”
“You’re going to get rid of them without even trying to appease them?”
Ghost Mask asked back in a scary voice what Lion Mask said.
“Don’t you know very well that this is someone who cannot be appeased anyway? That’s why I tried to mobilize the league to get rid of him. “They also failed in the end.”
“….”
In fact, both the league and China moved to control Choi Jun-ho, but they all failed.
Now, it was nearly impossible to keep Choi Jun-ho in check in the East Asian region.
“Not possible. “If we want to get rid of it, we will have to suffer great losses.”
“Sniff!”
The lion mask gave off a scary look, but the ghost mask didn’t even look at it.
If I had to do as he said, it wouldn’t be enough to burn half the world.
“If you can’t control it, why not make it bigger?”
These were the words of a woman wearing a cat mask. Even though her face was covered, she was giving off a fatal charm with just her voice and body.
The ghost mask revealed interest.
“How do you raise them?”
“We are making it so that the Republic of Korea cannot handle Choi Jun-ho.”
“Raising the weight class?”
“yes.”
“Way?”
“It’s many things. First of all, the lion mask pretended to know and said it should be removed, but Choi Jun-ho is managing his image on his own. So, although vested interests in Korea dislike Choi Jun-ho, the support of citizens is high. You won’t be able to overcome this in a short period of time. So the situation that Lion Mask wants will not be created.”
“Sniff!”
The lion mask showed a disapproving look, but the cat mask did not stop talking.
“So it makes it difficult for the Republic of Korea to handle it. People tend to be generous with themselves, so when people around them talk about something, they tend to quickly forget their topic. Choi Jun-ho, who is still young and has only recently become a superhuman, will have many conflicts with the government’s vested interests over this. Of course, from the Republic of Korea’s perspective, the more demands Choi Jun-ho makes, the more burden they will feel, and they will think it would be better for him to leave.”
“I asked how to fly.”
“You’re in a hurry.”
At the ghost mask’s urging, the cat mask was no longer relaxed.
“There are many, but let me pick a representative one.”
A naughty smile appeared on the lips of the cat mask that stopped speaking.
“What if we create a new level 9 and include Choi Jun-ho in an attempt to shake up the world situation?”
* * *
That was the day I realized that people can make mistakes unintentionally.
This never happened when dealing with villains.
I just thought I was doing my job, but I never thought it would end up costing Cheon Myeong-guk his vacation.
I felt sorry for not being able to protect him after setting him up as bait for a month.
[I don’t think you’re sorry at all for that, right?]
As a bonus, I got to see this Yongyong guy scoffing at me.
“Okay, you can talk to me.”
[What? You evil human.]
“You tried to tell me how to use this the other day, right?”
I said, taking out the monster heart Yongyong gave me.
[Oh, was that so?]
The voice quickly becomes awkward. I could see Yongyong’s eyes rolling from side to side.
“Don’t even think about turning away.”
[no! Don’t come!]
When I extended my hand, Yongyong got scared and dodged back. He tried to avoid my eyes by wandering around in the air, but he ended up making eye contact with me.
[Do you really need to listen?]
“What country’s method is to give something and not tell it how to use it?”
[I should have stopped him…]
The guy who was muttering with a gloomy expression hesitated several times before speaking to me.
[It has a much more pure and rapid restoration ability than you think.]
“So?”
[I’ve already said this far, but don’t you understand?]
“Keep talking.”
[So, even if you use up all of the force, as long as you have that heart, you can freely use the power.] Is that
so?
I can roughly understand the principle.
Even if my force is empty, if I have this, I can use more force.
So, does that mean my force reserves will increase to the level of a monster?
I think the amount of force is already sufficient.
Still, there is nothing wrong with having a lot.
“It’s some kind of auxiliary battery.”
[Compare it like that?]
“Do you know what an auxiliary battery is?”
[No, I don’t know! But since you’re comparing it, it’s probably not good!]
He’s a guy who has some accuracy in strange places.
Anyway, I understand that it is useful just to have it without using it for something else.
“so.”
[Huh?]
“How do I get the force out of here?”
[Do I have to tell you that too?]
“You keep taking off the hem?”
[no! Don’t grab it! I’m a blue dragon! They say that if you keep getting caught by evil hands, you will turn into a black dragon. No!]
After tormenting Yongyong for a while, I discovered a method called ‘Link’ that allows me to connect with the heart of a monster and use it as my own power.
* * *
Personally, I do not agree with Yongyong’s assessment that he is an evil person.
The guy who stayed in the mountains and collaborated with Ryu Kwang-cheol was talking about me being an evil person, a crazy person, and other things. It’s strange to believe those words and be influenced by them.
But apart from that, it is true that he is useful in one way or another.
[Wow! Why are you eating something like this?]
I didn’t like the shock of seeing Owlbore soybean paste stew.
What he doesn’t know is that although the appearance may be strange, the taste is excellent.
Then.
[Is this okay? The tangy taste is excellent.]
When he saw the vodka over 70 degrees, his eyes lit up and he exclaimed that it was delicious.
From then on, I started to pay attention to strong alcohol, but I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to use it as bait and become obedient.
But does Shinsoo get drunk when he drinks alcohol?
[I’m not drunk!]
He says yes, so I say yes.
With my schedule empty, I headed to Berserker’s place to check out Yongyong’s skills.
I was curious how the self-proclaimed Shinsu would evaluate Berserker.
He was staying in Yeongwol, Gangwon-do, and when I contacted him asking where he was, he confidently answered.
Anyone who sees it will think I took a dive after leaving a negative comment.
You must be punished with harsh corporal punishment.
Even if he was hiding anyway, there was nothing he could do to track his location.
The guy who was leisurely enjoying camping sighed as he watched me get out of the car.
“How did you find out about this place?”
“There is a way.”
“Did they put a location tracker on it?”
As I looked around, I couldn’t help but think that the location tracker was the smartphone in your hand.
But isn’t it time to realize that smartphones are the problem?
I think that’s the concept.
“How are you?”
“It was like any other time. “Walk around, catch any villains you see, and hunt monsters.”
You sent it faithfully. They said it like it was nothing, but it was clear that they were sharpening their knives at me.
By the way, I guess I’ll have to take a look now.
Yongyong.
[Huh?]
How crazy is he?
You might wonder if there are other people in the world that crazy.
[You’re not crazy?]
Huh? What are you talking about now?
[I’m not crazy.]
Are you saying that now?
[If this is food in your refrigerator, isn’t it food that is a day or two past its expiration date? You can still eat it! That’s it.]
Then what about me?
[You are about 3 years past your expiration date! You can never eat that! Because if you eat it, you’ll die! It’s perfect to compare like this! Aren’t I amazing?]
