The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity

Chapter 178

Episode 178

When we arrived at the Blue House, the atmosphere was heavy and subdued. Unlike usual, the President and Cheon Myeong-guk and Yang Ju-hyuk were present.

Why is Yang Joo-hyuk there?

I thought he was a fresh newbie, but it seems his status is higher than I thought.

Before I had time to express my doubts, the President offered me a seat first.

“Did you hear the news about what happened in East Timor?”

“Yes, I heard.”

“Then…”

“I’m thinking of going to East Timor.”

“Of course it will be like that.”

Both the president and Cheon Myung-guk looked like they had given up. Anyone who sees it will think I’m going to cause an accident.

“In some ways, this matter can be said to be a personal matter for the Adept.”

“yes.”

“However, as other countries are involved in the matter, we would like to provide assistance. “Are you okay?”

“I will accept it with gratitude.”

I can take care of it on my own, but I don’t even need to help.

I am thankful for this.

When I readily accepted, the President also looked perplexed.

“Joohyuk.”

“Yes, Mr. President.”

“Could you tell me what your current investigation is?”

“yes.”

I think Yang Joo-hyuk’s role was for presentation purposes.

I went forward with the materials I had prepared in advance. Then he bowed his head to me and began explaining the situation in East Timor.

“As a result of an investigation by mobilizing local Humint, we found that the power structure of the President, Prime Minister, and Choin Lee, which had been in place for a long time, is collapsing. They are joining forces with Prime Minister Choin to pressure the President to resign…” “

….”

Whatever the content, in the end, Victor Carvalho is the man to kill.

I stared at Yang Joo-hyuk giving a briefing.

The villain called Innerclow was nowhere to be found. The guy who was drunk on his own talent and ran wild with his trust in his father, the master of the Howol Guild, has disappeared everywhere and is now in a key position in the Blue House.

When I saw this, I thought that a person’s fate is something that one may or may not know.

Berserker, who was supposed to continue to be a villain, has his honor restored, and Yang Joo-hyuk, who should have been a villain, has become a prosperous public servant.

I guess I created people, right?

Thinking about it this way makes me feel happy.

Actually, the person who applies it most strongly is me, not anyone else.

While I was lost in thought, Yang Joo-hyuk’s explanation came to an end.

“…Therefore, we can be sure that Victor Carvalho intends to privatize power by mobilizing his own strength.”

I was thinking about something else, but I heard everything.

Because East Timor is far away, it is not possible to delve deep into the political world, but to summarize briefly, Victor Carvalho must have become overly self-conscious as he glimpsed the possibility of gift opening and his training performance improved noticeably.

As a result, he began to interfere in politics in earnest and gained omnipotent power.

The president and prime minister are currently resisting, but they seem to be dissatisfied with this and are planning to dissolve the National Assembly and hold elections again under their own leadership.

He’s thinking of taking complete control.

“What do you plan to do?”

“I’m thinking of getting rid of it.”

“Then superhuman powers will disappear in East Timor?”

“There’s nothing we can do about that, right?”

To be honest, it is Victor Carvalho’s fault for doing what he wants, not mine.

Above all, the existence of superhumans who abuse their power is more harmful than harmful level 8 monsters.

“Wouldn’t the superhumans who signed the contract be careful if it was clearly finalized?”

“That is correct.”

It is a situation where one punishes all.

Even if you do this, those who are corrupt will become more corrupt, but it is enough to make you watch your eyes.

If I go to East Timor, it means I can go anywhere.

A smart guy would rather have three or four and be comfortable than have ten and feel threatened for his life.

The President also appears to agree.

“Then I’ll trust you and leave it to you.”

“yes.”

“And what was Joo-hyuk’s report like?”

“It’s worth using.”

“yes?”

Are you planning to raise Yang Joo-hyuk? Although he was called the best talent at the Academy, he was originally a villain, so you should be careful. I’ll have to keep an eye on it.

“I plan to often entrust you with important tasks in the future. “Then let’s eat.”

As I followed the President to my seat, I saw Cheon Myeong-guk taking Yang Ju-hyuk with him.

* * *

Cheon Myeong-guk was affected by the incident committed by Choi Jun-ho.

So, I sang a song saying I wanted to quit, but it was actually 200% sincere.

Just the other day, Chung Joo-ho said he would quit his position as head of the National Front Defense Agency. It wasn’t a sudden decision. He had not had any regrets about public office for a long time and said he would quit when the right time came.

Now that Pyongyang was well stabilized and under government influence, Chung Ju-ho’s value was at its peak. At the same time, it was an opportunity to leave with applause. Jung Joo-ho chose to leave rather than step further into power.

Cheon Myeong-guk was madly jealous of Jung Joo-ho. I felt like quitting, and I also wanted to scream at him, asking why he left me alone.

However, the main reason why he could not be stopped was because of his empty head. Looking at it, I couldn’t help but wish him luck.

Now the problem is yourself.

Even if you quit, there is no one to take over your work. When the president’s term ends and he himself disappears, even the minimal means of controlling Choi Jun-ho disappears.

That must be prevented. So, Cheon Myeong-guk was looking for a talented person to take over.

Then, what caught my eye was Yang Joo-hyuk.

A young talent who follows Choi Jun-ho and has experience dealing with Choi Jun-ho.

There was anticipation in Cheon Myeong-guk’s eyes toward him.

“Secretary Yang.”

“yes! “Director.”

“What was it like dealing with Choi Jun-ho?”

“I liked it. “He is the superhuman I have always wanted to emulate.”

“Choi Jun-ho is a great superhuman. “It possesses an unrivaled strength of inaction.”

“That’s right.”

“How about taking full charge of Superhuman Choi Jun-ho from now on?”

“Do you mean me?”

Yang Joo-hyuk’s eyes widened. Seeing the man he liked, Cheon Myeong-guk felt his conscience pricked.

“Is that okay?”

I can’t believe you like having your limbs pushed in. But when you don’t know what’s going on in the world like this, you have to catch it.

“Don’t be like that.”

“Then I will do it. Please do it.”

“Okay, let’s do our best, Super Ace.”

“yes? “That’s a bit excessive.”

“I’m calling you because I think you will definitely succeed. “You can do it, right?”

“yes!”

In response to his energetic response, Cheon Myeong-guk held Yang Joo-hyuk’s shoulders and nodded.

I hope he grows up well and can handle Choi Jun-ho.

Cheon Myeong-guk desperately wished for his own retirement.

* * *

“How about having Secretary Yang Joo-hyuk accompany you on this expedition?”

I felt puzzled by the completely unexpected proposal.

“Do you really mean it?”

“Secretary Yang will represent the government’s position. “It will be easier for Secretary Yang to deal with you, so please let him accompany you.”

“hmm.”

I looked at Yang Joo-hyuk. There was a mixture of anticipation and fear on his face, and I wondered if it was right to take him with me.

Since the government has decided to help, wouldn’t it be better to take her as an errand boy?

“All right.”

“That’s a wise decision.”

For some reason, it seems like they have a watchdog next to them.

Well, since he may not be a villain yet, I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to take him around and educate him.

“Then the means of transportation is by plane….”

“Oh, there is a place to stop along the way. “I’m thinking of taking a yacht to Brunei.”

“You mean yacht?”

“yes.”

There was something that bothered me, so I wanted to check it out on the way.

“Is it important?”

The president, who had been listening quietly, asked.

“This needs to be confirmed.”

“I understand, that’s all I know.”

With the President’s acceptance, it became easier to proceed with work.

It’s been a while since I can check it out.

* * *

On the way to Brunei, there was one thing I needed to check.

This is the Taiping Gate of Zhang Wuyuan, which I had visited before.

At the time, we had stolen a pirate ship and were headed there, so we did not know exactly where this place was.

However, in the process of returning from seizing the ship on which Nam Gung-gi was carrying, he learned of the location and learned that it was located between Taiwan and Luzon Island in the Philippines.

The reason I thought I should visit this place again is because while dealing with the Taiping sects, I left their base intact in the process.

Since the buildings were left standing, of course there would still be facilities for people to live in, and there were plenty of people who wanted to use them.

This must be proof of my progress.

In the past, I wouldn’t have cared more about killing them all. However, after getting a taste of missiles, we were able to keep infrastructure in mind as well.

This means that post-processing can be done more reliably.

“Hmm, too.”

As I drove the yacht and arrived near my destination, I nodded when I saw the smoke rising from the island. After stopping the ship for a while, pirates were there.

I thought the Chinese government took over the island when Nangong-gi died, but it seems they abandoned it again because it was an island and difficult to manage.

“When pirates are active, strict people suffer.”

If other people are harmed because of me, I have to make it right.

What I chose was to blow up that base.

It has become empty because of me, but if pirates settle in and cause damage to the surrounding area, that would be a terrible thing. It’s better to handle it clearly on my own.

Well, come to think of it, the President said to think three times before firing a missile.

So I thought about it three times. And I made a decision.

I need to blow up that island.

After returning to the yacht, I looked at Yang Joo-hyuk and said.

“Contact the Blue House.”

“yes! “What should I convey?”

In response to my brave response, I pointed to the island in front of me.

“Blow up that island with a missile.”

“yes! yes…?”

Yang Joo-hyuk, who was answering without thinking, looks at me with a surprised expression.

“Why are you so surprised?”

“It appears to be an uninhabited island with nothing in it.”

“It’s a pirate island. “Pirates are using that as their base and are causing damage to innocent people here and there.”

“I see. But why the sudden missile…”

“If you see a pirate, isn’t it right to destroy it?”

“ah! “Seeing pirates has fueled your sense of justice!”

I think he’s misunderstanding something.

But his eyes were shining so brightly that he said no.

Let’s do something like that.

“You can’t miss it. “All I have to do is ask the Blue House to launch my missile.”

“All right.”

It’s nice that there is no hesitation.

Yang Joo-hyuk called me and shouted various things in a loud voice. After a while, he handed me the phone with a sullen expression.

“This is Director Cheon.”

A dying voice was heard from across the room.

-Choi Jun-ho Choin, is what Secretary Yang said true?

“yes.”

-Why does it have to be in that place….

“This is where the Taipyeong Gate used to be. “I want to completely erase the evidence.”

-Can’t you be careful?

“I bought it for times like this. “I hope you don’t worry and can fire comfortably.”

-I was worried about the superhuman… Phew! All right.

I handed the satellite phone to Yang Joo-hyuk again and waited for the missile to be launched.

The missile that Yu Hao fired was okay, but I heard that the one I bought was more powerful, so I was curious about how it would be.

“Superman, they say a missile has been launched.”

“okay.”

There will be a very expensive and spectacular fireworks display.

A moment later, a missile appeared with a tearing sound. And it hit the island like that.

Kwaaaaaaaa!

The power of the missile was intense. One thing is certain: performance.

The island that was once the home of the Taiping Gate was engulfed in flames.

If we wanted to use that devastated place as a base again, we would have to clear the rubble and build a new base from scratch.

I won’t put out the fire until everything burns.

I pulled out Nuri and spoke to Yang Joo-hyuk, who was watching blankly.

“I’m waiting here. “I will come after dealing with the survivors.”

* * *

To Yang Joo-hyuk, Choi Jun-ho was a hero.

He helped me come to my senses when I had been relying on my meager talent, and helped me develop my skills by providing guidance.

Yang Joo-hyuk, who learned that the world is wide and that there are countless strong people, realized that he still had a long way to go.

Heading there was not about fear, but excitement about something new.

I also wanted to be like Choi Jun-ho. I wanted to become a flawless superman like him and travel the world.

So, I wanted to assist Choi Jun-ho from his side. Thanks to the consideration of Cheon Myeong-guk, who recognized this, I was able to join him on an expedition to East Timor.

Meanwhile, it was shocking to see a missile being fired at what appeared to be a pirate base.

‘Blowing up the main base with missiles.’

It was a bold decision and execution ability worthy of Choi Jun-ho. If it were you, would you have acted like that? No, I wouldn’t have been able to do it. Yang Joo-hyuk, who had just entered society, was a child who had no idea about the world and had a lot to learn.

So, I took note of Choi Jun-ho’s actions. I don’t know when that will happen, but if I become a great superhuman like Choi Jun-ho, I wanted to follow in his footsteps.

“Superman, wouldn’t it have been better to set fire to it?”

“We will also need military support to carry out future operations. “I needed to find out the power of the missile.”

“Is that so?”

Firing those expensive missiles just for ‘confirmation’?

Yang Joo-hyuk clicked his tongue in admiration, thinking that such distribution was the type of distribution he could not follow.

If I were to become a superhuman at some point and not be concerned about money, I wanted to eliminate the villain in a more reliable way than Choi Jun-ho.

“I’m waiting for you.”

“Where are you going?”

“We have to get rid of all the remaining ones.”

“I will help too.”

At those words, Choi Jun-ho’s gaze turned towards this direction. I shivered unconsciously due to the cold feeling, but that only lasted for a moment.

“I have a high opinion, but being here helps.”

“I want to help too.”

“If you’re dissatisfied, improve your skills.”

“…yes.”

After hearing the answer, Choi Jun-ho stepped into the air and disappeared. And when he swung his sword at the ship trying to escape the island, the blue force blade swirled like a storm and shattered into pieces.

There is no way I can help with dealing with something like that. Just staying in place.

“….”

I felt helpless. I thought I might have become somewhat useful, but when I looked at Choi Jun-ho, I felt like I was nothing more than an insignificant person.

I felt helpless as if the faint screams were my own.

To me, it’s just a sentiment, but to them, it’s hell.

When Choi Jun-ho, who had dyed the sea red with the blood of pirates, returned to the yacht, he looked as if nothing had happened as if he had just gone for a walk.

“Everything has been taken care of. let’s go.”

“yes.”

The two drove a yacht and headed to Brunei. It was hard to believe that they had fired a missile at that disappearing island and wiped out all the pirates that had been full just a moment ago.

And there is one mission given to Yang Joo-hyuk on the voyage to Brunei.

The goal is to explore whether it will be possible to import oil as relations with Brunei rapidly progress.

Monster’s core is in the spotlight as an eco-friendly energy source, but that’s only because global logistics are cut off, and oil is still the most preferred energy source.

If Choi Jun-ho was pioneering a route to Brunei, the government thought it would be a great opportunity, but…

“…I can’t do this.”

By the time he arrived in Brunei, Yang Joo-hyuk had reached the point of despair.

It was literally straight ahead.

In that case, it was natural for sea monsters to attack.

Each time, Choi Jun-ho jumped into the sea and cut off the monster’s head.

Send an oil tanker down this route?

It was absolutely impossible.

* * *

Until we arrived in Brunei, we were attacked by quite a few monsters.

[You’ll be in big trouble if you do this.]

“Why?”

[Oh, so…]

I suddenly remembered erasing the Taiping Gate and hunting monsters when I returned.

If you think about it, then and now were similar.

“Do you have any friends around here?”

[Oh no?]

Even if I tried to act clumsily, it was at the level of Yongyong.

It was around here.

What kind of being is the divine beast that lives under the sea?

“Tell me to come visit you when you have time.”

[Are you crazy?]

“Say you don’t like it.”

Still, since we’re close, I think it’d be better to take a look.

Seeing Yongyong in deep distress, I met Abdul Arche, who had come to meet me from Brunei.
