Episode 354:
After a fierce battle, it was Berserker who remained standing until the end.
“….”
Jeong Da-hyeon, who collapsed with all her strength, was covered in wounds all over her body, but she just stared at Berserker with a blank gaze as if she didn’t feel any pain.
Berserker laughed darkly.
“You have suffered all the embarrassment. I almost died. Hehehe, this is the beauty of competition.”
Only then did Jeong Da-hyun think of what she had done and lowered her head.
It was literally the ultimate in cruelty.
As if ambushing Berserker wasn’t enough, he tried to distract him by using all kinds of cruel methods.
Because only then can you win.
The difference in skill between Berserker and himself was stark, and in order to overcome it, he had to create surprise.
Most of the time it was a ploy. It is something that a person in an unfavorable situation offers to overcome the disadvantage.
The initial surprise attack succeeded in creating a gap, but the difference in basic skills was too large.
This defeat ultimately came from a keen sense of inadequacy.
“sorry.”
“No, mobilizing everything to win should actually be praised. “You have proven yourself worthy.”
Although I was not an official teacher, I felt proud as the person who taught Jeong Da-hyun.
“To the point where I want to give an award.”
“Then give me a chance…”
“Oh, that’s not possible.”
“…Tch.”
Jeong Da-hyeon, whose attempt to dig in immediately was blocked, lowered her head and Berserker shook his head.
“Berserker, you occupy an important position in the defense of the Republic of Korea. So wouldn’t it be better for you to give me the opportunity?”
“Are you going to give up the place where strong people gather in one place? “You can never do that.”
“You can give opportunities to your juniors.”
“If I want to grow up strong, I have to take care of everything, even my juniors’ share. “Isn’t the place we lived like that?”
“…yes.”
Jeong Da-hyeon, who had tried to look for an opening until the end, sighed when all her attempts turned out to be futile.
In the end, the attempt to follow Choi Jun-ho came to an end.
“Today is not the only day. So, use that disappointment and anger as a driving force for development.”
“Today is not the only day?”
“Because the league isn’t the only thing he’s competing against. America is still full of suspicious guys and European guys. There’s still a lot of work left for that guy to do. So take advantage of that opportunity.”
Berserker is right.
The league was a representative example, but there were several forces opposing Choi Jun-ho. You will step out to deal with them, and opportunities will come to you too.
Because the world is large and there are many people to kill.
What became clearer than anything else.
“It means I can never give up on this one.”
“You got it right.”
“If you are dissatisfied, you should become stronger.”
“Okay, get stronger and try again. “Don’t spit.”
“….”
Jeong Da-hyun, who ultimately failed to achieve her goal, lowered her head and sighed.
It was a complete failure.
* * *
Berserker prepared to follow Choi Jun-ho.
In the past, as soon as I made up my mind, I would have prepared just a bundle of luggage and followed along.
But there is a difference between the person he was before and the person he is now.
The point is that I have a family to protect.
Family is something to protect, but it is also a burden.
“Do you have to go?”
Kim Hee-yeon reacted this way when she heard that she was going to South America.
I knew this would come out.
Berserker stared at his wife’s face.
This is a person who suffered because of himself. If it weren’t for me, I would have lived a happier life. So, I decided to try to make my wife happy, but I realized that it was impossible.
He was in a position where he had to go on a journey to see the ‘star moment’.
Aren’t you saying that’s selfish? right.
“sorry.”
“I didn’t ask with high expectations. Still, in the past, I would have been rejected right away, but I am hesitant. That’s enough. “I’ll be more hesitant next time.”
In fact, it was consent.
“thanks.”
If Kim Hee-yeon had opposed it, Berserker would have been in considerable trouble.
In the end, he would have achieved his wish, but it would not be easy to overcome his family’s opposition.
He expressed his gratitude for understanding and consideration for him.
“I hope to return safely. “Don’t rush into your body before the emotions of the moment.”
“That’s right.”
The conversation seemed to have ended like that, but Kim Hee-yeon’s voice suddenly broke through.
“Is that why you want to follow Choi Jun-ho?”
“I said I was going because of my greed?”
“i know. But that’s not the only reason.”
“….”
“You want to help Choi Jun-ho, right? Otherwise, all behavior cannot be explained.”
“It’s help.”
Berserker was lost in thought.
It was an opportunity for me to realize the truth of what I had just said.
What do you want? Did they really come just to see ‘star moments’?
No, if that were the case, I would have just thrown everything away and left.
If so, there is another intention.
It wasn’t difficult to figure out what that meant.
“I received a lot from him.”
What would have happened to you if you hadn’t met Choi Jun-ho?
He must have been an ordinary villain, traveling all over Korea, chasing star moments.
And in the end, I guess I didn’t achieve my goal.
But everything changed when I met Choi Jun-ho.
“It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that I was born again because of him.”
I was able to see what I was vaguely pursuing and was presented with the direction I should take.
In the process, his heart was broken several times and he was treated as less than a toy, but for Berserker, Choi Jun-ho was a benefactor who gave him a new life.
Berserker’s feelings toward him were briefly summarized a moment ago.
“I can sacrifice this one life for the man who gave me everything. “Do you think I’m wrong?”
“no.”
“huh?”
Kim Hee-yeon, who expected to say that of course it was wrong,’s answer was the exact opposite of what she expected.
Kim Hee-yeon smiled at the surprised man.
“A man can sacrifice his life for someone who recognizes him. Still, my life is saved. “Because not only I, but Sohee also needs a father.”
“…Okay, be careful.”
The only difference from before is that there are times when you have to protect your life rather than burn it.
Because family is just as important as your own ideals.
“thanks. “I wouldn’t have made this decision without you.”
“What.”
“Let’s do better in the future.”
“I hope you come back safely.”
“okay.”
Kim Hee-yeon smiled at Berserker’s promise. Then he stood up.
“Then I’ll take a shower and come back.”
“uh?”
“It won’t take long.”
“Now wait….”
Click.
Berserker’s cries were scattered in vain against the tightly closed shower room door.
* * *
Before leaving for South America, Berserker and I decided to stop by the Blue House.
Although it is an unofficial operation, it operates based on information provided by the government. When we arrived in Sao Paulo, we decided to provide humint directly there.
However, the main focus will be the US government and party.
Traditionally, the United States has paid a lot of attention to South America, and the party has controlled South America through Morian.
Still, it was convenient in many ways because the government was moving.
It was around the time I arrived at the Blue House and was waiting to meet the President.
Berserker appeared from a distance.
“You came first.”
“Are you here? “But why is that?”
Is it because the competition with Jeong Da-hyun is fierce?
I came face to face with Berserker’s blank face.
Still, this guy who is known as a superhuman can’t take care of himself.
I clicked my tongue at his weakness.
“Take care of your condition.”
“…you will find out when you get married.”
“What do you know?”
“If you know, you will know. You should get married too. Be sure to do it. “Don’t do it twice.”
Talking nonsense.
I listened to Berserker’s words with one ear, dismissed them with the other, and headed toward where Cheon Myung-guk was.
* * *
“This operation was not announced externally, but it has great significance in suppressing the League.”
Cheon Myeong-guk, who saw Choi Jun-ho and Berserker, spoke in a heavily subdued voice.
Although it is a small-scale operation in which only two people are dispatched, the meaning contained within it is by no means light.
It is an operation to destroy the league, and not anywhere else. It may be absurd to say that eliminating the great powers that fought against the world, but I thought it was possible with these two.
One person is the world’s strongest superhuman, and the other has skills comparable to those of a teenage superhuman.
‘This is also the reason why Korea is the best in the world.’
Because the quality of each superhuman is extremely high, they show unbelievable efficiency in hunting.
On the contrary, if there is a problem with these two people, the fate of the Republic of Korea will be in jeopardy.
Not long after he took office as president, Gwang-ho Ryu of the Sasin Guild retired due to old age, and Se-hee Lee of Shinsung Group was inaugurated as chairman, forcing Baek Gun-seo to retreat to the second term.
There are Lee Chan-taek, who is still active, Jung Joo-ho, who is new, and Jeong Da-hyun, who has become an unofficial superhuman, but the absence of Choi Jun-ho and Berserker is bound to lose weight.
So Cheon Myeong-guk prayed for the two to return safely.
“I pray for your safe return.”
“I will try to return safely.”
Choi Jun-ho’s calm voice was extremely trustworthy.
Yes, it is ridiculous to think that this superhuman would fail in his operation.
Choi Jun-ho has crushed enemies who stand in his way at any moment.
Even if the target is the league, Choi Jun-ho will easily do it and come back.
“You must be safe. “I can’t imagine Korea without the two of you.”
“I’m just leaving for a moment. There won’t be any problem.”
Cheon Myeong-guk shook his head.
“All accidents occur due to a power vacuum. “Please understand that the two of you play a big role.”
“I already brought in someone to fill that void.”
“What if you fill it up?”
“Let’s go outside.”
Choi Jun-ho took the lead, and Cheon Myeong-guk followed.
Outside, there was a huge dog sitting about 10 meters long and 5 meters high.
If you look at it from the outside, it looks extremely simple, but its contents are a plus-level monster and Choi Jun-ho’s pet, a dog.
When I looked up close, I could sense a subtle, unrefined ferocity.
Even if it was tamed by Choi Jun-ho, its essence is a monster.
“Dog, come here.”
bruise!
The guy who responded right away followed Choi Jun-ho’s hand gesture and came closer.
“This guy will take the vacancy.”
“….”
It looked even more threatening when I saw it up close. The majesty of the dog was beyond imagination, to the point where I would have thought it was a monster if it weren’t for the way it obeyed Choi Jun-ho’s words.
In particular, I felt a tingle in my spine as I saw Choi Jun-ho’s eyes, which had been curved when he looked at me, become sharper when he looked at me.
“If I’m away, you guard this place.”
bruise!
“Listen to the president here.”
Grrr!
The dog, who had answered easily until then, showed his disapproval at Choi Jun-ho’s words.
It was a reaction not only by Cheon Myung-guk himself but also by the security personnel to start the game.
‘Should I step down?’
It was a time when I was worried because it looked like it was going to attack me at any moment.
The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped.
“Are you not listening to me now?”
A cold, subdued voice.
At the same time, the violence radiating from the dog disappeared without a trace.
Where is that?
After seeing Choi Jun-ho’s gaze, he quietly lowered his head.
Nevertheless, as Choi Jun-ho’s sharpened spirit showed no signs of abating, Cheon Myeong-guk stepped forward.
“I think I know why.”
“It looks like it’s cleared up because it’s been a long time since you were beaten.”
“no. Doggy has an aversion to listening to instructions from anyone other than the Adept. “The only master is a superhuman.”
No matter how tamed a monster is, it is because it is a tamed monster that it appears to be more sensitive to hierarchy.
“You might think so.”
“I will do the talking from now on.”
After saying that, Cheon Myeong-guk stood in front of the dog.
Was the truth conveyed?
Cheon Myeong-guk looked at the dog for a moment and said.
“i look forward to.”
…bruise!
And then the dog’s paw sticks out.
Are you asking for a handshake? Seeing the dog nodding its head slightly, Cheon Myeong-guk placed his hand on the dog’s paw.
