The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity

Chapter 277

Episode 277:

When subduing an opponent, I basically pursue quick action. Even if you drag out the fight, you’ll be wasting unnecessary energy, so it’s definitely better to deal with it quickly.

Naturally, the idea of capturing Herbert is to achieve maximum effect with minimum damage.

I thought it wouldn’t be a problem because the attack happened when no one expected it.

“huh?”

Suddenly my arms became heavy. For a moment, my movements became dull due to the weight that felt like hundreds of kg. It was quickly resolved, but it was clear that a gap had been created.

I think it’s a gift. How does it work?

“Take them back!”

That short period of time was enough for the two bodyguards to move. Herbert tried to leave the room by backing away, and his bodyguards attempted to defend him with hand-to-hand combat.

This is a very good standard security method.

Although it is an impossible method for me.

Sigh!

“Oops!”

I pierced Herbert’s ankle with a sniper shot. While the security guards’ composure was momentarily shaken by the sight of him collapsing, they occupied the entrance area and approached the president.

“Stop!”

“Try making it stop.”

The large white security guard blocking me brandished a baton. I tried to dodge lightly, but my body suddenly became heavy. This was similar to a phenomenon that occurred a little while ago.

But if you get hit once, you can’t get hit twice. As Mandok Bulchim, thirsty for results, removed status abnormalities at an incredible speed, I paused for a moment, then easily dodged and stretched out my hand to pour out a mine.

The white bodyguard also had strong bones that could endure at first, but as smelting continued, the bones that were stronger than titanium screamed and cracked.

“Keuuuu!”

puck!

As his body was bent, I kicked him in the stomach and he flew into the wall and landed there. And when he saw that the remaining bodyguard was standing next to the president and concentrating, he shot a hole in his shoulder.

“Ugh!”

At first glance, he was a person with the ability to move through space, a gift that allowed him to escape in case of emergency.

Perhaps because of the first sniping, his concentration was broken, and the force surrounding him dissipated, and when the subsequent bullets pierced his opposite shoulder, side, and thigh, he collapsed.

There are only two people, but they are all superhumans. So it took some time.

Even so, all it does is delay time for a moment.

If something loses its mobility, it becomes a burden.

When I was a hematologist, I often used this tactic of eliminating the target and running away.

I approached the president, erasing old memories that had come to mind after a long time. But Anna Christine stood in front of him.

“Why are you stopping me?”

“Why are you attacking me?”

“That’s because he’s the league’s villain.”

“yes? “What does that mean!”

“Didn’t you tell me? “I can tell who the league’s villains are.”

In fact, it was closer to distinguishing between ordinary people and villains. Still, after killing so many League villains, I was able to distinguish which one was the League Villain.

“Wait a minute, that means…”

“That’s amazing? “If you look at the fact that the league also created the president of the world’s most powerful country.”

“That’s ridiculous.”

Anna Christine looked back and forth between me and Herbert with an expression of disbelief.

Does that change the facts?

Well, the League is an anti-establishment group that is sweeping the world. Some countries have already been overthrown by the League and are adopting the League’s ideology.

It made other countries feel a serious sense of crisis. Overthrowing the country meant that existing vested interests were deprived of power.

Of course, apart from that, the League’s ideology of Awakened supremacy is noticeable.

According to the League’s ideology, I can also benefit the most, but Awakened supremacy is ultimately nothing more than an idea to enjoy a limited piece of the pie for themselves.

I don’t think that’s very wrong. There is a difference in the standards of law when measuring awakened and non-awakened people, and discrimination based on level is being made.

It’s just that in my eyes, that guy is that guy, and I just don’t like the fact that he’s done such a deadly thing and then claims that he’s an awakened person.

[In the end, I don’t like it when there are so many idiots running around.] As expected,

he is a divine beast. That’s correct.

I just act as I see and feel. The answer is already fixed anyway, so the process just needs to be put together. And getting people who were spouting lies to tell the truth instead of the truth was my specialty.

Herbert was also shocked at first, but soon took on a look of resignation.

“…I never thought I’d bring up a story about the old days.”

“President?”

“That’s right. I was in the league once. “To be precise, I wanted to be a part of the league.”

“…!”

Everyone except me and the president looked shocked.

Herbert calmly got up from his seat, walked over to the sofa where I first sat, and offered me a seat.

I made holes in its ankles to prevent it from escaping, but it moves better than I thought.

I heard that the recovery medicine made in the US works well, so it seems to be true. I’ll have to pick up some when I go back.

“Let me tell you in detail.”

* * *

Herbert R. Klein was elected president with overwhelming support as an Awakened believer and an America First activist.

He is considered likely to be re-elected in the upcoming presidential election and is said to have succeeded in recovering lost territory and expanding his influence to both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans during his term in office.

Although he was criticized for being light-hearted due to his witty and informal behavior, many voters supported him because he seemed more like a leader than a boss.

The person who hated the league more than anyone else and emphasized global solidarity is from the league.

“To be precise, I have never been part of the league. “I just agreed with the values they put forward.”

Herbert honestly stated that it was not until he became a presidential candidate that he thought he belonged in the league.

“They say all people are equal, but it is a small elite that leads the world. Humans were infinitely weak in the face of the threat of monsters. “I believed that giving preferential treatment to the chosen awakened people was the way to overcome the crisis facing us.”

However, these thoughts of Herbert were shattered when he ran for president and became president.

The party that established the system before the league was also an organization that pursued similar values, with only a different appearance. And what they put forward was actually a means to justify their rule, and there was no cause anywhere in it.

Justification of rule through idolization of a minority. Herbert, who felt that the League’s ideas could not change the world for the better, chose to break with the League and distance himself from the party.

“This is why we can say that although we have benefited from the league, we are not part of the league.”

The new value that Herbert seeks to promote is the American Dream, which can be said to be the spirit of America.

Countless people with dreams come together and mix like a melting pot to become one. I thought that the endless competition that took place within it was the driving force behind America’s hegemony in the world.

“For that, I thought it was a priority to bring leadership to the West, so I asked you, Head Breaker.”

Herbert’s explanation ended there. There were countless processes that were omitted in the middle, but the conclusion was that they had parted ways with the league and were working to destroy the league.

“It’s hard to believe because it’s such a lame excuse.”

“…haha.”

Two bodyguards seemed to have heard me muttering and came close to Herbert’s side. However, it did not show any further action, perhaps because it remembered the collision that had occurred a moment ago.

“Jack and Chris are one of my few trusted colleagues and friends. “Please don’t bother me any more.”

“It will depend on the answer. “Before that, I have something to answer.”

“I’ll answer anything.”

“Why does it smell like a league?”

“Oh, you mean that? There was a time when I was obsessed with league history. “At that time, the league approached me.”

The league approached Herbert and gave him several items to win his favor.

“One of them was an early version of Boost. “It has no side effects, but it is helpful in increasing the amount of force.”

“and?”

Herbert said with a grin.

“After I was elected, I handed over their information and wiped them all out.”

“The reason why some of the League forces were wiped out at that time…”

Anna Christine shouted in surprise. He said that at that time, there was an incident in which the league suffered a major blow in the east and most of its forces were wiped out.

“What do you think?”

“The president has controlled his actions so perfectly that he has no connection to the league. So I couldn’t find any loopholes. “We broke with the past by eliminating the League forces.”

“It was a shameful past. “What did I see that made me like those guys?”

“Don’t say any more.”

Anna Christine might have been convinced, but I wasn’t.

“Every villain has a way to escape.”

“oh!”

By adding a believable story to something that could have been overlooked, my suspicions grew more than I could understand.

Herbert became serious at my expression, not the least bit convinced.

“How can I prove my sincerity?”

I don’t know about that either. In fact, there were times when I was confused about which direction to look at. If the U.S. president is a member of the league, should we say that the league has taken over the U.S. or should it be seen as an aberration unique to the U.S. president?

Since it was the U.S. government that commissioned me, it would have to be seen as actually being commissioned by the League, but it’s complicated.

Then you have to prove that Herbert is innocent.

“The best thing is brainwashing.”

“paddle! “I don’t like that!”

Herbert was disgusted and Anna Christine was admired.

“Wait! “That’s not possible!”

“Then is there another way?”

Anna Christine spoke as if waiting for my question.

“Vice President Daniel Logan will definitely give you the answer.”

He is Herbert R. Kline’s running mate and a person who has defended the United States throughout his life. Contrary to his gentle appearance, he was a person who was kept in check due to his ultra-hardline and radical ideology, but his heart for the United States was truly evaluated.

I’ve seen it in Korea too. At that time, we spoke a few words through an interpreter, and we communicated quite well.

As Anna Christine said, I was quite impressed by the way he was an ultra-hardliner and was merciless towards villains.

However, there is a part of her that is mistaken. Even if she has dedicated her life to the country, she can still become a villain.

If you believe in that, you might get stabbed in the back one day, but that’s not something I should worry about.

If the vice president is also a member of the league, they can all be collected and processed at once. Even if the Vice President brings reinforcements, just kill them all and escape. Because I have Yongyong, the most useful means of escape in the world.

[Only in this case are you treated well?]

It’s a joke.

I pretended not to hear it and spoke to Anna Christine.

“Then call me.”

“My life depends on the guy who always nags me. “I’m going to be very scolded.”

Herbert muttered in a relaxed manner.

Should I have just brainwashed it?

* * *

“Herbert is not in the league. “I can confirm this one thing.”

The Vice President, who came to the suite at Anna Christine’s call, explained to me with a white face that the President was once a member of the League.

“More than anything, this guy has no acting skills or the ability to keep secrets from everyone.”

“Hey, you’re being harsh.”

“You shut up! “I’m saving you now!”

“Yeah, but I feel like a total idiot.”

“I’m telling you to shut up because you’re an idiot.”

“….”

Contrary to his appearance, Herbert was once obsessed with idealism and had the league in mind as a tool to achieve that goal. But when I heard that I could feel the energy of the league, my expression wrinkled and I glared at Herbert.

“You can’t believe it….”

“I ate what the league gave me. “It was effective.”

“You crazy bastard. I’d rather die. “I will carry out the duties of president.”

“Calm down, Daniel. You’re not on good terms with Congress, are you? “I have to be there to get support from Congress.”

“I think it would be more helpful for the country if I just died.”

“I said no.”

“Try to die first. “If it doesn’t help the country, it comes back to life.”

“Will that work?”

A skit was unfolding before my eyes. From the looks of it, Herbert seemed to be a bit immature and the type to cause trouble, while the Vice President seemed to be the type to work hard to get things sorted out.

America is also a great country.

“Anyway, this guy is not in the league.”

“After taking a quick look, I don’t think I would either.”

The credit was given to me by the words of the Vice President and Anna Christine.

How to do it?

They said they would guarantee it, but they had less than 1% of influence on my decision.

Anyway, since I came here, I wanted to achieve my goal, so it would be better to compromise where appropriate.

“if.”

Then Herbert opened his mouth.

“If I didn’t give you confidence, you can kill me.”

“Herbert!”

“If we can gain Head Breaker’s trust through that, it’s not a losing business.”

It seemed quite determined. And my intuition told me that Herbert’s words were sincere.

Being able to risk one’s life without hesitation means being proud.

But I’m too grumpy to admit it.

I glanced at the Vice President and asked.

“Are you confident that you can carry out the duties of president well? From now on, I will call you president.”

“….”

Then I glanced to the side and saw that Herbert’s face was covered in sweat.
