Chapter 227
Episode 227
Berserker returned home with his body and mind in tatters.
A home that did not exist not long ago. When he was a villain, the camping car was his home and friend.
I spent my days in a place that was always empty and lonely, but now I have a family waiting for me. It’s even more heartbreaking because we broke up once and then met again. For their sake, Berserker seems to have tried to become a member of society.
People who have something to protect become stronger. Berserker accepted it as having a goal and becoming stronger.
On the contrary, I felt something hard inside me loosening up.
As it becomes stronger, it becomes weaker.
“Are you saying that the being I’m protecting could become my weakness?”
It was a part where we could understand why Choi Jun-ho says that people who have something to protect become weak.
“I’m here?”
The wife who arrived first welcomed Berserker.
There was a bit of awkwardness with my wife, whom I met again after a long time.
My daughter was the one who erased it, but since she isn’t there today, the awkwardness feels doubled.
“What about Sohee?”
“They said they were coming to hang out with their friends. You know. Choi Jun-ho’s superhuman-related goods are coming out today.”
“That again…”
Choi Jun-ho’s goods, which were not popular but had a solid fan base, were selling like crazy under Jin Se-jeong’s leadership.
In particular, there were a lot of teenagers who envied him and dreamed of becoming an awakened person, and it came to mind that government officials were in a situation where they could neither cry nor laugh.
The top priority in every country was to maintain the birth rate and make the born children envy the awakened.
Due to the presence of Choi Jun-ho, who is said to be the world’s strongest, the number of children dreaming of becoming awakened has increased explosively in recent years.
“But do you know? “They say Choi Jun-ho’s life or death is unclear.”
“It’s on the news.”
“Because it looks serious this time.”
Choi Jun-ho is already fine. As soon as he returned, he not only extorted the gift but also recommended additional gifts.
Although he pretended to do it for himself, Berserker knew very well that it was for Choi Jun-ho’s own benefit. He probably has a dark intention behind hiding his safe return.
“Ignore everything the media says. That monster is a human being who will come back alive even if thrown into an active volcano.”
“I guess so?”
That’s the end of the story about Choi Jun-ho.
Berserker, who was waiting for his daughter, became visibly anxious when she did not arrive until after 8 o’clock.
“Anyway, Sohee, you’re not hanging out with these bad guys, right? Or, if you go and see her right away…”
“She’s someone’s daughter, and I’m worried about her.”
Berserker’s daughter Seohee Lee was one of the most promising Awakened students in her school.
The story of him beating five seniors when he entered high school was a legendary story at school.
Still, Berserker was restless. Could it be that something went wrong? Junho Choi If you like that crazy guy, it’s clear that there are also guys who aren’t normal. If there was a fight, I don’t know what the crazy guy would do.
Just after 9 o’clock, when Berserker was about to run out, the doorbell rang and Seohee Lee appeared.
“dad!”
“…Welcome.”
Berserker stopped and accepted the greeting when he heard his daughter’s high-pitched voice.
Regardless, Seohee Lee boasted to Berserker about the harvest she had purchased today.
“I totally got it today! “It’s thanks to Dad.”
“okay?”
It was hard to see that guy’s face when I got home, but it was worth it because I had time with my daughter.
After getting beaten up by Choi Jun-ho, the father took advantage of the opportunity to help his daughter buy Choi Jun-ho goods. His situation was truly pitiful.
“But when can I see Choin?”
My daughter and I will face that crazy person?
Berserker had been preventing it for a long time, but now he felt that it was not easy.
“…Let’s catch a date sometime soon.”
“You said that, but you keep putting it off. Superhuman is in a dangerous state right now! Does your dad know anything? “You’re called Superhuman’s closest aide!”
“….”
Berserker showed a perplexed expression, unable to confirm or deny.
“I’ll let you know soon.”
“Did you really promise?”
When his daughter, whose expression brightened, returned to the room, Berserker let out a long sigh.
A daughter who idolizes the man she absolutely wants to turn into porridge.
Now that things are like this, there is only one way to gain the upper hand over Choi Jun-ho.
“I guess I should ask him to go play golf.”
* * *
The confusion surrounding Choi Jun-ho caused more and more ripples.
The Heavenly Demon Armor has been hunted, and Choi Jun-ho, who hunted it, has gone missing. Some said they had secured the injured Choi Jun-ho in China, others said he was hiding because his injuries were serious, and others said he died during the hunt.
Everything in the hypothesis meant that Choi Jun-ho’s condition was not normal.
Only a very small number of people in the Blue House were aware of this fact. And the repercussions caused by Choi Jun-ho’s uncharacteristic behavior were truly powerful.
“What do you think will happen to Choi Jun-ho’s plan this time?”
“I think it will have a very big impact.”
“Is this a similar idea?”
“This is an action that Choi Jun-ho has never shown before. And people who want Superhuman Choi Jun-ho to disappear will turn on the happiness circuit and take action.”
Over the past two years, Choi Jun-ho’s presence has brought great glory to the Republic of Korea, but it has also been an unstoppable disaster for the political and business world.
Those with vested interests were left helpless as they skipped the process and proceeded without hesitation. Great power was useless in front of Choi Jun-ho.
Although it has only been two years, the stress they have experienced during that time is beyond imagination. What they wanted was not a Republic of Korea that was safe from monsters and admired by the world, but a Republic of Korea where they could wield their vested interests.
“I guess it means everything is sticking out.”
“Yes, I need to get ready.”
“I have to do it. “It’s probably going to get quite loud.”
As the intention is to completely weed out this opportunity, the impact will be significant.
To be precise, the one who is shocked is probably the one who wants Choi Jun-ho to die.
“I’m going to get completely bent.”
“In fact, it means that the forces that would oppose Superhuman Choi Jun-ho will disappear.”
As there was a blacklist example before, Choi Jun-ho does not go and kill everyone who opposes him. Instead, when a conflict arises in a certain situation, if it is on the list, action is taken without mercy.
Those who opposed Choi Jun-ho will have to be careful for the rest of their lives because of that one stain. And the effect will be stronger than expected.
“The burden will be passed on to you.”
“….”
“Can you do well?”
“There’s no way I can say I can’t do it now, right?”
“That’s funny too.”
“This is a situation created entirely by the President.”
Cheon Myeong-guk’s eyes were burning brightly toward the president. Sensing that something was unusual, the President was internally surprised but smiled on the outside.
“haha. “Please take care of me.”
“sure. “I will never forget the President’s grace.”
“…Hehehe!”
The president thought that Cheon Myeong-guk’s eyes were similar to a crazy neighborhood dog he had seen as a child.
* * *
Somehow, it feels like the game has become bigger.
At first, my intention was to find out who would be happy if it was known that I was dead, but I found out that there were more people who wanted me dead than I thought.
Not just a lot, but a lot?
I’m not a ruthless villain like a hematologist, I’ve been killing bad guys for my country, but I can’t believe I’m being treated like this. I’m starting to feel a little sad.
Should I have dealt with all the guys who seemed a little tough?
It doesn’t seem to be much different from a hematoma.
We had a rough estimate, and when we were trying to estimate the time when it would appear, an unexpected situation occurred.
Guangdong Province, centered on Hong Kong, China, rebelled against the Confederate army and declared independence.
What is even more surprising is that the Confederacy even defeated the Confederate punitive force.
This won’t be easy, right?
My doubts were completely resolved when I met Lee Se-hee.
“We sold a large amount of excellent weapons.”
“Divine Group?”
“yes. As export routes to the South were blocked, we ended up stockpiling some.”
“You sent that over there?”
“yes. “It happened to be a place that was getting on Junho’s nerves, but when the opportunity arose, I took it.”
Lee Se-hee said that Guangdong Province, including Hong Kong, was a key source of funds for the Confederate army and played a major role in the Chinese government’s finances while trade was decreasing due to demons.
The problem is next.
As Yu Hao rebelled and the war was prolonged, enormous exploitation took place in Guangdong Province.
“It is said that they have raised funds that were unimaginable not long ago.”
As a result, dissatisfaction with the Confederate government soared. As they were immediately threatened by sea monsters, they were unable to make a proper living due to a lack of food and resources.
It was at that point that Lee Se-hee dug into it.
“I thought if I did this well, I could separate them. The appearance of a monster called the Heavenly Demon Armor seemed somehow artificial, so I thought that if I provoked it once, it would threaten me from behind, and I was right.”
“If you scraped all the money, wouldn’t you be penniless?”
Lee Se-hee smiled at my question.
“Collateral is a great thing. They lent their belongings as collateral. Even if you don’t have money right now, it’s the wealthiest region in China. “I thought I could take out the principal and interest if I wanted to.”
“….”
It is said that the Southern Confederacy, which used such advance money, even received help from the Chinese in Southeast Asia to defeat the Confederate punitive force.
Due to Lee Se-hee’s actions, China was suddenly divided into three.
“Maybe there could be one more.”
“what?”
“China.”
“how?”
“Public sentiment in the western region, other than the Confederacy, is unusual. Because it is a traditionally marginalized place, there is a lot of dissatisfaction. So I’m drawing a line at the Confederacy.”
“her.”
To say it’s amazing is not enough. It was hard to imagine how much of a blow it was to be caused by just one person, Lee Se-hee.
He smiled confidently at my admiration.
“I don’t think I can worry about this until I get this far.”
“surely.”
The Northern Army was not only suffering human and material losses due to the Heavenly Demon Armor, but its ability to assume authority was being questioned, while the Southern Army was suspected of having created the Heavenly Demon Armor, and at the same time, there were signs of a rebellion in the southern part of the country, centered on Guangdong and Sichuan provinces. .
In a situation like this, it is impossible to turn your attention to the outside world. This is a situation that Lee Se-hee encouraged. Lee Se-hee was a very scary opponent to make an enemy of.
“Now then, shall we move on to Junho’s problem? “With Junho, a very interesting situation is happening.”
“There are a lot of people who want me dead.”
“There are many people whose interests have been infringed upon by the presence of Mr. Junho. “Of course, Junho’s presence would be bothersome to those people.”
“I’m sorry I couldn’t fulfill their wishes.”
Or maybe the wind was granted?
Because I used full recovery with the self-destruction of the Heavenly Demon Armor.
If there had been no full recovery, he might have died.
When I think about it this way, my wish came true.
“yes. So what is happening is the current special prosecution issue. Especially hearings.”
Lee Se-hee said it is not a matter of whether I live or die. Since they think I’m not in Korea right now, they’re trying to cover up the problem with the fairy tale training system and move on.
Since this is an issue involving influential members of the ruling party and not only the political world but also the business world is involved, they are trying to end it with mild punishment.
The news that I may have died sucked up all the issues and led to a situation where an indulgence could be issued.
One little thing is being handled well.
“I don’t like that kind of thing.”
“However, the current president’s term of office is not long, the power of the National Assembly can continue, and the power of the business community can continue for a long time. “In the power struggle without Junho, that side has the upper hand.”
surely. That’s why the government is trying to suppress guilds and companies. Unlike them, who have a term of office, they can maintain power for a long time.
I can’t leave it like this.
Anyway, I’ve written enough lists, so I’ll have to finish the dive.
“When will the hearing be held?”
* * *
Currently, South Korea was in a state of turmoil with the news about Choi Jun-ho.
A being from the Republic of Korea who is said to be the world’s strongest awakener. A superhuman who reached level 9 in his 20s was cut off after a bloody battle with the first Plus-level monster, Heavenly Demon Armor.
This caused the Republic of Korea to be turned upside down. All media attention was focused on Choi Jun-ho’s whereabouts and they were busy analyzing the impact his death would have on the Republic of Korea.
As a result, the Awakened Brainwashing incident, which was being conducted through a special investigation, was diverted from public opinion.
Even though the hearing is being broadcast live right now.
The ruling party’s influential figures and corporate guild officials, who saw this as an opportunity, began taking action to cover up the mistake.
“Let’s begin the hearing on the Awakened brainwashing plan.”
Kang Woo-tae, a three-term lawmaker from the ruling party who was involved in this Awakening brainwashing incident, sighed in relief.
If Choi Jun-ho had been there, he would have been severely punished, just for show.
I didn’t like the situation where I had to worry about only one person despite having tremendous power within the ruling party, but my fear of Choi Jun-ho was greater than I imagined.
“Even if the president uses dragons, this is not the case.”
Even though the ruling party leadership was formed according to his own tastes, the president tried to stab the ruling party because he did not like something.
There were many members of the ruling party who were concerned about this. At this point, the president could have taken a step back, but as the brainwashing of the awakened occurred, the Blue House took the lead.
However, as Choi Jun-ho disappeared after going to China, criticism against the president began to emerge within the ruling party. This served as good news for Kang Woo-tae, who was involved in the disappearance of the awakened person.
In a situation where I thought I would be severely punished and lose my seat as a member of the National Assembly, I saw a way to receive only a mild punishment and maintain my seat as a member of the National Assembly.
I was worried about the aftermath if Choi Jun-ho came back alive, but that was something to think about at that time, and it was best to survive and maintain power first.
“They can become puppets for the country.”
Although it was introduced from China, the fairy tale training system was a means of transforming awakened people who only wanted wealth and popularity into faithful workers loyal to the country.
Although this resulted in mental side effects, it was something I could bear if I thought of it as a sacrifice to protect the country.
It was Choi Jun-ho who dug into this.
“We just need to quietly pass through this hearing.”
Even if Choi Jun-ho comes back alive, there is nothing that can be changed if he is issued an indulgence as a simple punishment after completing the prescribed process.
Also, the Blue House without Choi Jun-ho is no longer something for the National Assembly to fear.
After confirming that there was a lot of antipathy towards the Blue House in this incident, Kang Woo-tae planned to rally the dissatisfied lawmakers to confront the president.
There were results as a result.
“Maybe I’ll get a chance.”
Rather, his weight class may rise rapidly as he confronts the president.
If his weight class increases due to his anti-presidential positioning, he may rise to the level of a presidential candidate.
For that very reason, this hearing was important. Only by showing a confident appearance here could we envision the future.
“Senator, we will proceed as planned.”
“I know.”
Kang Woo-tae nodded at the words of the National Assembly staff. And according to procedure, it was about time for the hearing to begin.
Suddenly, a murmur was heard from behind.
“….”
Kang Woo-tae looked at the scene with irritated eyes. You are the one who should be in the spotlight today, so what happened all of a sudden?
I thought it would quiet down soon, but that was just an illusion. The disturbance spread rapidly like a contagious disease and took over the entire National Assembly.
“What on earth is going on….”
Kang Woo-tae, who had been looking at the place surrounded by people, froze.
I definitely wanted to die. The person who had hoped the monster would disappear with just one meal was sitting calmly.
“Choi Choi Jun-ho.”
The shock and fear contained in that name swept through the hall. Kang Woo-tae also felt his stomach go numb just by looking at him.
Anyway, the person in question stood to one side, looking around calmly.
“Oh, don’t worry about it, I can just proceed. I’m an official, so I can watch, right?”
Who would dare tell Choi Jun-ho to leave?
After finishing speaking, he crossed his arms as if to proceed with the hearing.
The atmosphere began to change.
