Episode 381
Lee Se-hee visited the office.
Although she became the chairman of a conglomerate that has the most powerful influence in Korea and ranks first in the business world, she brought only five people with her and talked about the current situation in a simple meeting room.
“Yes, Junho, he is having more trouble than you think.”
“What about specifically?”
“I am shocked to see the price President Yu Hao has paid. “If the price that President Wei paid is that much, then they have no idea how much of a price they will have to bear.”
Naturally, since this is the first order, there will be some consideration given.
The problem is that the next person in line would have to pay a greater price, and there was no head of state willing to accept this.
Even if you say you are doing it for the country, in the end, your own honor and self-protection are more important.
“In particular, the Hong Kong-Cantonese Union, which has been hindering trade, is begging for help.”
They dreamed of independence and eventually achieved independence with the help of Lee Se-hee, but it is said that when I went missing, they were the first to turn their backs on me and stab me.
It is said that Lee Se-hee became more vicious, arguing over the price and demanding renegotiation at every moment, so it is no wonder that Lee Se-hee was venomous.
“You have such a good stomach, if it were me, I would have destroyed your head first.”
“Because I am a person who sells things. “It’s not the attitude of a merchant to turn away a legitimate opportunity to rip off a customer.”
“It was true that if you get caught wrong, you will be robbed.”
“There is a problem. I’m always making suggestions that we can both agree on. “Even if you complain later that it’s expensive, there’s nothing wrong with the transaction.”
Are you proud of not being a hard sell?
There was a lot I wanted to say while looking at the confident Lee Se-hee, but I decided to just let it go.
“But if it gets to this point, there needs to be some way out.”
“Let’s take a look?”
“It’s more of a guideline than that. “Now they are confused because they do not know the price they have to pay.”
Wei Hao was the arm, but what if there was a bigger price?
Since human imagination is infinite, they would have thought of a more important part than the arm, and some extreme people would have been gripped by fear while stroking their own neck.
“At least we have to give them confidence that they won’t die.”
“hmm.”
“Are you sure… were you planning on asking for it up to your neck?”
“Some people will have to die so they won’t dare to do the same thing again.”
Man is an animal of forgetfulness.
Even if Yu Hao gave up his arm, wouldn’t he be able to put on a prosthetic arm?
If you act normally like that, the meaning of the warning will fade.
The most effective warning is a sure kill.
“If that happens, they will try to resist even more fiercely. “If the escape route is completely blocked, it becomes a disaster.”
“That’s not bad either.”
The more people you can let know that if you resist me, the end will be extermination, the better.
However, Lee Se-hee would not want this.
“So you can’t sell things, right?”
“It’s more profitable to rip off your money and eat it over and over again.”
Naturally, it will be the people of the country who are being ripped off, and although they will be angry at Shinsung Group for selling products at high prices, the target of that anger will ultimately be the government.
If political responsibility is taken as a result, that will also be a meaningful result.
“It’s not my style, but it would be more productive than killing it.”
This is the opinion of someone who has endured the pain so far, so let’s listen to it.
Lee Se-hee’s expression brightened.
“thank you!”
“We will need to discuss what level is best. Instead, you have to pay more than Wei Hao.”
How disappointed would you be if you had the courage to be the first to pay the price, but it turns out that you were the one who suffered the most?
For the sake of customer satisfaction, they have to pay a greater price.
“I need to fine-tune it.”
We decided to gradually discuss how much would be good, and Sehee Lee asked me for one more help.
Of course, I thought it was business-related, but the words that came out of Lee Se-hee’s mouth were completely different from what I thought.
“Training guidance?”
“Yes, you’ve been completely hands off these days, right?”
Lee Se-hee said that she always regretted it. It is said that even if there were ten bodies, it was not enough to focus on guild work or group work.
“I’m done with all the busy work now.”
“So this is training?”
“yes. Dahyun has become a superhuman and everyone around me is getting stronger, but I am the only one who is stagnant. I think I can become stronger too. “If Junho helps, it will be possible even faster.”
He exudes confidence, but then he glances at me and has a gloomy expression.
“And going through this, I felt like my body was weak and my mind was weak as well. “I want to become stronger than I am now.”
[That person is weak? That’s the highest level among humans, right?]
That’s because Yongyong’s target of comparison includes ordinary people. As far as people around Lee Se-hee are concerned, everyone is getting stronger quickly, but it’s no wonder that she feels like she’s falling behind.
[Could it be that he is trying to appeal to you for being weak? Human women do things like that a lot.]
Yongyong saying things like this was also a side effect of the drama.
Anyway, do you think it makes sense for a level 7 awakened person to pretend to be weak?
[I guess I’m right?]
I accepted Lee Se-hee’s suggestion, listening with one ear and letting it go with the other.
“Let me help you.”
“really? thank you!”
“Instead, there is nothing half-hearted. “Being behind means you have to start now and put in several times more effort than others.”
“It’s actually better. “Don’t worry about me, just roll harder and harder!”
“Sure.”
[I feel like I’m being treated like I’m being weak…]
* * *
Based on the conversation with Lee Se-hee, I moved to create guidelines.
The easiest thing would be to talk about it through a personal broadcast, but it was also important to get the media on my side and spread the word about what I wanted to say.
As for me, I didn’t need more media attention, but I still needed to create more exposure by making it provocative.
For that purpose, Go Ye-jin was called in.
“Thank you for calling me, Choin!”
MSG of the Media Go Ye-jin, who is gaining fame with the nickname Aggro Clto Go (if you click, Go Ye-jin again) in the media world, immediately rushed to the interview offer.
When the story about Yu Hao was brought up, sparks flew into Go Ye-jin’s initially frozen eyes.
“yes! that’s right! “Currently, the biggest concern for South Korea’s neighboring countries is the extent to which their politicians will take responsibility.”
When I returned and the things that had been distorted were returning to normal, it was revealed that neighboring countries, which had been oppressed for so long, were manipulating the situation.
Because of this, they were filled with fear of my retaliation, and the first to take action was Wei Hao.
Although he courageously took the lead, the result was an irreparable humiliation and a broken heart.
They were shocked that even he, who was in his early teens, had to pay the price without even being able to resist.
“There was no specific comment from Choin on this.”
“Does my comment matter?”
“Yes, it’s important.”
“You say everything you normally say.”
“After all, media and interviews reveal deeper feelings. “They will want to read the deep intentions of the Adept.”
“I actually don’t like it.”
“yes?”
“If I say so, doesn’t that mean I will take only that much responsibility?”
“Is that so?”
The attitude of taking responsibility for 1 if presented with 1 and taking responsibility for 10 when presented with 10 was not very good.
“What I want is a responsible attitude from people in responsible positions, but the only person who actually steps forward is Yu Hao. “I don’t like that.”
…To the point where I want to go right away and turn everything upside down.
“….”
[Your true feelings have come out now.]
Go Ye-jin’s face turned white when she heard me mumbling.
“What you are saying is that it is important for the person who committed the crime to take responsibility.”
Now that my true feelings have come out, I have to be honest.
“you’re right. This is something that must be accompanied by an unconditional apology that the victim will accept. “But I’m quite disappointed because I’m just watching.”
[Although it is absurd to say that you are a victim.]
Even if I do not have the image of a victim, I am definitely the one who suffered great damage. They are being captured as soon as I return.
The damage just feels insignificant to me.
“Then what kind of responsible attitude is the Adept speaking about?”
“You must first admit your mistakes.”
“Is that okay?”
“Of course, we must take responsibility in the sense of reflection. That responsibility comes at a cost.”
“What kind of price…”
“Yu Hao put up one arm. “We recognized that as the courage to come forward first, so we will have to come up with something more next time.”
I thought it would be misunderstood, so I made it clear that it wasn’t at least the neck.
I can rest assured that I won’t lose my life through this.
“….”
But Go Ye-jin’s expression turned white.
Did I make some mistake?

Choi Jun-ho’s interview shocked not only Korea but also neighboring countries.
The phrase ‘I’m not saying you should put your neck on the line’ was ridiculed by those who tried to play tricks on Korea and Shinsung Group by creating numerous memes.
The main point is that you touched something that shouldn’t have been touched.
Jung Joo-ho also laughed helplessly after watching the interview.
“I don’t know why they’re doing this interview. “Isn’t that actually counterproductive?”
No matter how insignificant they may seem, they are the heads of government of each country. They could not have been easy people after going through all the hardships and rising to the top. However, Choi Jun-ho’s behavior seemed to be dealing with someone who was at the bottom.
“If this continues, we may struggle even more.”
“It’s effective.”
It was Cheon Myeong-guk who refuted Jeong Joo-ho’s words.
“You’re going to get this?”
“Because I’m not going to take my life. And someone will have to take care of it.”
As time passes, Choi Jun-ho’s threat will become a reality.
Who will stop him?
Choi Jun-ho’s threat is more frightening than a monster more powerful than the league’s villains.
If the uncertainty is not resolved, it will become a problem that we will be excluded from the order led by Choi Jun-ho in the future.
Ultimately, someone has to take responsibility.
Instead, they will experience extreme pain due to responsibility disputes.
Jeong Joo-ho, who realized that there were a lot of things to consider, looked at Cheon Myeong-guk and looked pitiful.
“My brother is having a hard time.”
“…Someone has to do it.”
“But it worked out well because Junho came back and won the general election. “If you think about the threats that Americans used to make, this is out of the blue.”
“yes.”
“But why did you call me?”
“Is there anyone you would recommend for this general election?”
“me? “I don’t care about politics.”
Jung Joo-ho is the one who starts the game.
Cheon Myeong-guk gently coaxed him.
“But you probably know someone who’s good.”
“There is, but isn’t that when you start getting involved in politics? “I hate that kind of thing.”
“Because there aren’t enough good people. “If you recommend it, I can trust it.”
“Well, I know a lot of good people.”
“So you too, cooperate. “You’re a superhuman belonging to the country, right?”
Jeong Joo-ho, who had been in public office his entire life, had great connections.
“I can’t help it.”
Cheon Myeong-guk smiled inwardly as he saw Jeong Joo-ho reluctantly accept it.
“But most of you are awake. Are you okay?”
“I am also an awakened person.”
“If many awakened people enter the political world, word will definitely come out. “It’s similar to the league’s philosophy.”
The story of discrimination between awakened people who transcended human limitations and ordinary people was a topic of debate that never cooled down.
“It doesn’t matter whether you are an ordinary person or an awakened person, as long as you play your role well.”
“Well, the theory isn’t a bad thing. “Are people bad?”
“That’s why I’m asking you a favor.”
“Okay.”
So Joo-ho Jeong promised to cooperate.
“But can you survive if you pay that much attention?”
“…So I chose the path to become stronger.”
“Are you saying I need to become stronger for my health? “That’s amazing.”
“Because there is no other way than this.”
“Let’s elect the next president as a good person. And the handover is done in advance.”
“not bad.”
I am saying exactly what President Jeon Han-cheol did.
As Cheon Myeong-guk chimed in, Jeong Joo-ho continued speaking excitedly.
“It’s not normal to handle Choi Jun-ho. I also lost a lot of hair a day when I was leading him.”
He said with a bright smile that he was okay now.
Cheon Myeong-guk still remembers that he ran away to live alone.
So, I plan to make the person who knows Choi Jun-ho the best my successor.
The parties do not yet know.
“I will be there to help you too, so do your best.”
“Yes, please help me a lot.”
Now and even the next time.
Although Jeong Joo-ho does not know it yet, Cheon Myeong-guk was watching the next presidential election and the presidential election after that.
When that time comes, you will blame yourself, but you are used to being resented.
If we could just leave it to Choi Jun-ho, we could get over that with a smile.
“Just trust me.”
Jeong Joo-ho, who did not know that fact, pounded his chest loudly.
