“Where are you going?”
After talking with Yongyong, I came out and a Ji Bakryeong called me to the living room.
It seemed like they were watching me as if I were going somewhere.
“I’m going out and coming back.”
“You turn the world upside down like that and you get out in peace? “Ha, what I just heard was a horse or a fart.”
“Is there nothing else to do but argue with my brother who came back after a year?”
“This is a luxury, a luxury, for someone who has given me everything to worry about. “If you were really my younger brother, I would have straightened your bun hair.”
“Even if I were your younger brother, I would be stronger.”
“…It’s more annoying not to say a single word.”
But he didn’t say much, perhaps because he knew I would be stronger. It was proof that Yunhee’s spirit was still intact.
“Where are you going?”
“Blue house.”
“Are you trying to make a list of people to kill?”
“…It’s not?”
“Do not lie. Do I see you once or twice? Just looking at it, they’re going to check who’s committed suicide.”
“….”
To be honest, I was very surprised that he knew so much about me.
If they are biological siblings, is this kind of standard? But I actually don’t know much about Yunhee. I don’t really want to know.
[What is so surprising about a younger sibling knowing so well about an older brother?] There
is nothing more indifferent than a relationship between siblings. There is no way Yongyong would know the truth.
[If you say anything, it’s a fight.]
“On the way, I also met Dahyun and Sehee. “Both of us are so worried.”
“Were you very worried?”
“huh. Dahyun was treated as mentally unstable by those around her, and Sehee risked her fate on her brother’s survival. “The pressure we’re both under from society right now is no joke.”
“That much?”
“Because they are the best group in Korea, not anywhere else.”
I didn’t know something like that would happen.
In particular, in the case of Lee Se-hee, I thought that her position would not be shaken even if I was away for a long period of time.
This is because Lee Young-moon has made arrangements and I have also taken several measures.
“If you don’t have your brother by your side, you’re all just a fool.”
“Should I have killed them all?”
“Is that the only way that comes to mind?”
“I’m sure.”
“That’s right.”
Yunhee looked like she wanted to say a lot, but she obediently agreed.
As expected, people forget quickly and cannot grasp their own topics.
I thought there might be more people to kill than I thought.
[It’s been a while since the festival took place.]
“First, go to the Blue House and check the situation. “The president will be good at assessing when the right time is.”
“…take care of that. Instead, let’s meet quickly. “I’m not sure how long I can manage my facial expressions with my two older sisters.”
Still, I’ll make the assumption that you’ll keep it a secret.
“It won’t take long.”
Because I didn’t know how far my patience would last.
“huh.”
* * *
Cheon Myeong-guk, who became president, is one of the most powerful people in the Blue House.
In his youth, he developed a reputation as an outstanding strategist and an awakener who accurately executes tactics.
Compared to that, he was not evaluated as having strong skills, but after meeting Choi Jun-ho in his later years and opening up his gifts, he belatedly opened his eyes to growth.
Although the possibility of becoming a superhuman was slim, he feels that now is his prime.
Therefore, the Blue House security system was also reorganized into a structure that allows the individual to demonstrate his or her capabilities rather than organizing it strictly.
It’s not because I overestimate my abilities. This is because I believe that if you optimize yourself, you can save costs and reduce unnecessary steps in many ways.
I was quite satisfied with the revamped system.
Even if an imaginary enemy country invaded, I was confident that I could evacuate at any time.
I thought that if I combined my sharpened senses with my security system, I would be able to detect anyone who came.
But when he opened his eyes, he felt his heart chill at the sight of popularity in front of him.
I didn’t notice it at all.
If the other person had had even the slightest bad intentions, he would have died without even regaining consciousness.
Who on earth is this talented?
He rolled his eyes and a familiar face appeared.
“….”
“It’s been a while, Mr. President.”
Has your stress reached its peak these days? Why do I see nothing?
Cheon Myeong-guk, who saw Choi Jun-ho’s face, was confused.
“Why are you doing that? “Has something gone wrong?”
Cheon Myeong-guk came to his senses as he muttered that it was strange and that he should at least use brainwashing if conversation was difficult.
A person who makes you feel sick just by existing.
There was only one person in this world who would say something crazy like that.
“Choi Jun-ho, are you really Choin?”
“Unless you’re a villain using a disguise gift.”
“Ah…”
At that moment, I felt like my heart had completely relaxed. The person who made me worry so much has shown up.
The situation surrounding Choi Jun-ho was so dire that Cheon Myeong-guk, who visited Jeon Han-cheol and asked for advice several times, was stressed as he tried to think of a way to overcome the situation, but his chronic stomach pain seemed to have disappeared. The bloody stools also stopped.
However, the moment I saw Choi Jun-ho, the symptom occurred again.
Still, it was good. The fact that it arrived safely like this is more important.
“What on earth happened during this time… No, no. “Will you talk about it slowly? Are you feeling okay?”
“It’s not bad, but it’s not good either.”
Cheon Myeong-guk stood up and offered Choi Jun-ho a seat.
“Please sit down. “There are many stories I want to hear.”
* * *
I gave an appropriately dramatized explanation of what had happened.
In the battle with the Hell Master, the damage to the Gift was quite significant. I did not trust the party and the superhumans gathered in South America by the U.S. government, so I recovered in a quiet place.
There were many things omitted in the process, but Cheon Myeong-guk seemed to understand.
“It was such a serious injury, I’m so glad you’re okay.”
“I was lucky.”
This is because the hematoma that could be said to be half of my body was forcibly torn out.
“….”
Cheon Myeong-guk was listening to my story with a serious expression the entire time. To anyone who sees it, it may seem like you are carrying all the worries and worries of the world.
“Can I ask you a rude question?”
“Please speak.”
“Then, I wonder if you, Adept, are currently able to demonstrate complete inaction. “If you find it difficult to answer, you don’t have to.”
“It will be about 70%.”
His condition is steadily improving and, given enough time, he will make a full recovery.
Cheon Myeong-guk’s expression brightened.
“ah! Still, I’m glad.”
That’s what he said, but I didn’t miss the worry that passed through Cheon Myeong-guk’s expression.
“You must be mistaken.”
“Am I making a mistake?”
“I never said my skills were the same as before.”
“…!”
“About 70% will be similar to the previous strength.
Oh my god, what if I only focus on recovery from injury because it’s boring? Of course, I also worried about becoming stronger. I was able to discover a way to become stronger because the damage caused by an injury large enough to tear the hematoma was not at all wrong.
“Are you saying that you have become stronger over the past year?”
The confused look on my face made me wonder if I had said something wrong.
“yes.”
“…Haha, actually, I knew worrying was pointless, but I never thought it would be like this. I realized that even though I was mistaken, I was definitely mistaken. sorry.”
“it’s okay.”
I felt like I was going through a lot of emotional distress during that time. Of course, it would have made people around him suffer.
There might be a lot more people to kill than I thought.
“Now that I’ve explained my situation, I’d like to hear what’s happened over the past year.”
“In the beginning, everyone did not believe in the death of the Adept. However, as time passed, doubts began to sprout, and not long ago, the number of people who believed in the death of the Adept began to increase.”
Up to this point, it’s as expected.
If the guys who attacked me thought I was alive, they would naturally be wary and careful.
However, human forgetfulness is so amazing that it has the power to completely forget old memories even after a short period of time.
Then, when they become convinced that I am dead, their guard will relax and they will cross the line.
This is nothing new.
“The reason the President came to visit us was to understand the situation.”
“I thought that would be the case if you were a superhuman.”
“Please tell me who I will kill.”
“There is a better way than killing. “Why don’t we go in a direction that will make them even more upset?”
“I will listen first.”
Cheon Myeong-guk opened his mouth.

James Reed entered Korea.
The appearance of the nagging nag next to him, who was always taking a hard line, frowned.
“Arnold was too harsh.”
“Choi Jun-ho is dead.”
“We may have different opinions. “But relations with Korea are a matter that must be handled carefully.”
With the headbreaker gone, South Korea is still a powerful country and a partner that the United States must join hands with to restore its former hegemony.
“It’s different from what I’ve seen.”
“What’s different?”
“Currently, Korea is a place that has no choice but to fall.”
Arnold’s voice was filled with confidence.
“The Shinsung Group, which dominated the business world, is being shaken from within and strong checks are continuing from the outside. “With Choi Jun-ho gone, Shinsung Group may be a representative company of Korea, but it will not be able to exert a powerful influence on the global economy.”
“What is the awakened power? “There’s a Berserker!”
By defeating Black Hound, Berserker proved to the world that he had risen to the rank of teenage superhuman. Here, a genius named Jeong Da-hyeon became a superhuman in her 20s. No matter where you look in the world, there is no place with power like this.
But Arnold thought differently.
“Macho Man, do you really think Berserker will be loyal to the Republic of Korea?”
“….”
“Even though he was falsely accused, it doesn’t change the fact that his essence is madness. Berserker, who has lost the shackles of Choi Jun-ho, is a person who moves in the direction of his heart, not a person who will sacrifice himself for the country. Rather, if the Republic of Korea shows signs of faltering, they may move to another place. “This will also be an opportunity for America.”
“You were even thinking about that?”
“What I pursue is America’s interests, not personal self-interest.”
“….”
“And the Black Princess too. Although she has upright beliefs, she is stubborn and weak in politics, so the Republic of Korea will not be able to use her properly. “If you utilize her family at the right time, you can expect good results.”
“Berserker and Black Princess.”
“Aren’t you excited just imagining it?”
Arnold, who always looked like a machine, spoke with anticipation.
“….”
On the contrary, those words chilled James Reed’s heart.
It seems like things will work out the way you imagine, but everything will come to naught when Choi Jun-ho returns.
No, you’d be lucky if you didn’t break your head because of something stupid.
Is it ignorance about Choi Jun-ho?
No, there is sufficient explanation in the document.
It’s because I haven’t experienced it myself.
It was a mistake that came from being conceited that I could calculate everything in my head.
James Reed knew his words wouldn’t work, but he gave one last warning.
“The president is also concerned.”
“So you want me to stop?”
“I want to do it in moderation.”
“That means leaving it to my abilities. More than anything.”
Arnold said with a confident smile.
“Congress is very supportive of my direction.”
“So are you going to go all the way?”
“yes.”
A win-win situation for both is something that only happens in novels and comics.
For someone to gain, someone must suffer a loss.
Now, the positions of Korea and the United States have simply changed.
“Everything is for the benefit of the United States. I will bear all the consequences, whether success or failure.”
Arnold’s words were based on a sense of responsibility.
James Reed, who knew Choi Jun-ho better than anyone else, could not accept it that way.
“It’s because you can’t take responsibility on your own.”
Even if a mistake is made alone, everyone is held responsible.
That is the person Choi Jun-ho is.
