The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity - Chapter 10

Episode 10

The sight of a beautiful woman smiling in front of me catches my eye. Her beauty was so overwhelming that it erased the presence of the imposing bodyguard standing behind her.

The black H-line miniskirt that emphasizes the body line with dizzyingly high heels and the barely visible white chiffon blouse stimulate the imagination.

When he has a deadpan expression, he has a haughty vibe that is hard to resist, but when he smiles, he draws a soft line and gently disarms the hearts of the opposite sex.

I know the identity of the woman who approached me.

Lee Se-hee, the second daughter of Shinsung Group.

She is the second daughter of the Shinsung Group Chairman and a heroine who will take control of the Shinsung Group and the Shinsung Guild in the future.

As a charismatic owner and at the same time an excellent awakener, she is also the best celebrity in Korea and has used her influence to increase the market share of weapons produced by the Sacred Guild to a frightening level.

The weapon produced by the Sacred Guild has good performance, but it also has emotion or something.

I had no idea that the marketing terminology used for smartphones would be used for the Awakened Arms.

Her current level is a whopping 6.

She was one of the top 10 talented people in the younger generation. However, her skills were not mentioned because they were overshadowed by her gorgeous beauty and cool speaking skills.

“You are Choi Jun-ho, right? “Can we talk for a moment?”

The surrounding gaze gathers. It is a gaze with several meanings. It implicitly came across as pressure, a trend encouraged by Lee Se-hee.

“Do you have any business for me?”

“I wanted to talk to someone who has a reputation these days.”

“Please sit down.”

“Then thank you.”

Lee Se-hee dragged a chair across from me and sat down, crossing her legs. Once again, I felt the eyes of those around me gathering, but I just stared without paying any attention.

She’s like a tarantula, so if you get caught up in the wrong thing, it’ll be a hassle for a long time.

“This time we were rude. “I should have managed my guild properly, but I think I was neglecting that part.”

“It doesn’t matter if it’s resolved well.”

“Still, I’m sorry for putting you in a troublesome situation.”

This happened because I broke up the cartel that was secretly going on.

If I hadn’t messed around, it wouldn’t have happened.

“Team leader Wang Ju-yeol was Choi Jun-ho’s boss. “It must not have been easy.”

Lee Se-hee must have thought that catching my boss, Wang Ju-yeol, would be a burden.

But was this a burden?

To begin with, I am a person who has no ups and downs, so I had no hesitation in catching Wang Ju-yeol.

If Director Jeong Joo-ho had been in the ledger, he would have been caught.

When I didn’t say anything, Sehee Lee continued speaking.

“We apologized to the Director as this was what happened because of us, and we promised that our Sacred Guild would provide the weapons used by the National Defense Bureau.”

“This is good news.”

“The reason we can hunt monsters is thanks to the villain task force who maintain security in the city. “This is a bit weak.”

Even the way she pushed her hair behind her ears with her hand looked natural.

She was a woman who knew very well how to act and appeal to her charm in order to attract attention and move men. The National Security Bureau officials around him could not take their eyes off Lee Se-hee.

“And I also want to repay Junho.”

“What if it’s repayment?”

“It’s about removing what could have been a lump. When you have time, would you please visit the Holy Guild?”

He looks straight into my eyes and asks in a soft voice. It’s not a lie if you feel like you should take what she says for granted.

“I can roughly understand what your intention is.”

I curled up the corner of my mouth.

“It’s annoying to keep using gifts.”

“······!”

As she stretched out her hand without hesitation, astonishment spread across Lee Se-hee’s face.

Before I could reach my hand, the security guard standing behind blocked my path. My muscles swell as if they are about to explode, and my powerful fist shakes off the mine in my hand.

Research has already been done on the gifts I use. My first attempt failed, but I changed the trajectory of my hand and wrapped it around his arm like a snake.

I was caught up in it, unable to shake off the flashy trajectory change. But the mine failed to destroy his arm.

“Whoosh!”

He opened his eyes wide and swung his opposing fist against the mine that had dug inside, trying to push me away. I grabbed his arm, planted a mine, left myself in the aftermath, stepped back, and watched him quietly.

Once inside, a mine is like a virus. To resolve this, it must be pulverized with much more force than the force injected or dismantled with delicate control.

The bodyguard’s choice, which did not apply to either of the two options, was to gather together the mines running rampant inside and explode them.

Quack! Quad deuk!

The mine, which was gathered at one point and exploded, cleanly broke the bones in both arms.

“Keueuuuuu!”

What should have been completely crushed was stopped by breaking. It was the optimal decision in a split second.

But there is no way a bodyguard with two broken arms can do his job. As I took a step forward, Sehee Lee stepped forward.

“sorry. I apologize. “I did it because I wanted to impress Junho.”

When I saw him lower his head, I lowered my hand. My guess is that Lee Se-hee’s gift was most likely a mental type such as fascination or appeal.

It was true that there was a high probability that he was trying to attract me and drag me into the sacred guild, so I didn’t become even more angry. If it had been hypnosis or brainwashing, they would have been more harsh.

“I accept it.”

“thank you. Jinhyung, please use this.”

The bodyguard sprayed the restorative medicine on the broken arm and swallowed the restorative pill. As the broken wound healed noticeably, I quietly stood behind Lee Se-hee. But there was a subtle fear in the eyes that were looking at me.

This is the look I saw a lot when I had a hematoma. In my last life, I would have twisted my neck because I didn’t like it, but in this life, I was sane, so I was calm.

Lee Se-hee’s face towards me was also not as relaxed as before.

“You’re a lot tougher than I thought.”

“If you don’t do anything stupid, nothing like this will happen.”

“It’s my fault. “I should just say thank you.”

“Being able to quickly understand the situation and make corrections is also a skill. “It’s commendable just that you didn’t drag yourself into the worst situation.”

“···I don’t know if I should like this.”

Lee Se-hee’s voice was broken as she shook her head.

“So what about the remaining business?”

“It can’t be there. “I wanted to gently entice you to come to our guild, but I feel like if I do something wrong, my head will break.”

“There is no difference in status when your head is broken.”

“I want Junho, but I shouldn’t attack him when he’s unprepared. Anyway, thank you for helping me reorganize my guild. “I’ll come back later to discuss the case.”

“······.”

I felt a bit embarrassed when the other person apologized and even reflected on his actions. The solution would have been simple if I had just kept my head down and worked hard until the end.

In times like this, I thought about how to end it and came to a conclusion and asked.

“Should I cover the cost of the restorative medicine?”

“Junho, don’t you think even two years’ salary won’t be enough to cover it?”

“It’s expensive.”

“Well, do you know that a healing agent that has that level of effect is cheap? “If anyone were to look at it, they would think our premium recovery agent was a rip-off.”

Lee Se-hee’s face turned red as if I had touched her. Since it was important to know how quickly the restorative medicine healed, I knew its value well.

“The effect certainly looked good.”

“of course! This is the highest level in the world. “A masterpiece among masterpieces created after years of research as a by-product of Korea’s top doctors and the most difficult monsters… Ah, that’s not what I came to say.”

Lee Se-hee, who had completely lost her pace, ruffled her hair roughly and sighed.

“If I had known this would happen, I would have called Dahyun and come.”

“Are you close with Dahyun?”

Now that I think about it, I remembered that Jeong Da-hyeon was in the Holy Guild and then moved to the National Protection Bureau.

“I think we are friendly. Although Dahyun finds me a burden. “There was a time when I ate only soybean paste stew for a whole month to get closer to Dahyun, but then I went to the National Protection Agency to catch a villain, ha!”

Suddenly, my image of Lee Se-hee improved.

Lee Se-hee, who had been playing drums and drums alone while mocking herself, got up from her seat.

“I hope the next time we meet is better than today.”

“You just don’t have to use the gift clumsily.”

“I will!”

After saying that, Lee Se-hee bowed her head slightly and left. I thought he was a cold-hearted businessman, just recalling memories from his last life, but surprisingly, he had humanity.

* * *

Lee Se-hee’s steps were undisturbed until she arrived at the underground parking lot. But the moment I got to the car, my legs gave out.

“miss!”

“I’m fine.”

Lee Se-hee raised her hand to stop the bodyguard and took a deep breath.

I pretended nothing was wrong on the spot, but in reality, I was hitting my chest as if it was going to explode.

‘He tried to kill me without any hesitation.’

It was surprise, not fear. Her gift, ‘Charm’, is a gift that everyone likes. Lee Se-hee, who worked hard to cultivate her natural beauty and background as a member of the sacred group Royal Family, has achieved everything she wants in her life.

As a result, the Shinsung Guild achieved success not only in Korea but also around the world.

Dahyun Jeong, whom he had his eye on, dropped out, but that was only a minor variable.

But Choi Jun-ho’s case was different.

A level 5 awakener who appeared like a comet. He caused a stir in the National Defense Bureau with his unhesitating hands and unstoppable actions. And he even caught his boss, special team leader Wang Ju-yeol.

Lee Se-hee didn’t think he was level 5. So I wanted to check it out and bring it to the Holy Guild.

And I gained confidence from today’s meeting.

“···Minimum level 7.”

No, maybe it’s more than that. Even Lee Se-hee has never seen a high-level awakened person at such a young age.

If so, you have to do whatever it takes to attract them.

Lee Se-hee got in the car and picked up her smartphone.

“Increase the number of equipment provided to the Ministry of National Defense. As an apology, I give a recovery medicine to Choi Jun-ho. And… please research all the information about Choi Jun-ho.”

* * *

Yunhee’s training went smoothly. In my opinion, I am currently close to level 3, and my skills have risen to the point where I can easily pass the Shinsung Guild, my first choice in Korea.

But the biggest enemy is always carelessness. I created a different crisis situation every day to keep Yunhee from losing her mind.

Yunhee screamed, asking if this would really help her pass the exam, but I dismissed it as a sure way to improve her skills.

Every time I finish training, I’m asked if I have feelings, but that’s definitely not the case.

Well, probably not.

Yunhee said to me after taking a shower after a rewarding training session.

“I heard Lee Se-hee came to the National Defense Department?”

“How did you know that?”

“Of course I saw the article.”

Yoon-hee explained that Lee Se-hee, the head of the Shinsung Guild operation team, is an outstanding awakener and at the same time a celebrity who is envied by everyone, making headlines wherever she goes.

“Have you talked to your brother too?”

“uh.”

“really? With Lee Se-hee?”

“What a strange thing that is.”

“Of course it’s amazing! It’s no one else but Lee Se-hee! Women’s Wannabe! What was it like seeing it in person? Pretty?”

If you are pretty, you must have a pretty appearance. However, that seemed insufficient to express Lee Se-hee.

She knows how to utilize her beauty in a timely manner, and she knows how to move proactively according to the situation and then back down and bend when something goes wrong.

“It was requested.”

“What is your assessment?”

“That’s just it.”

“Isn’t that because I tried to say something and was ignored?”

In fact, a collision occurred, but that was not mentioned.

Yunhee didn’t seem to be interested until then, so she posted another article in front of me.

“But this article was a bit harsh.”

Treating villains like bugs? The title “Controversy over the Special Team of the National Defense Bureau!” appeared.

“Isn’t this sniping at your brother?”

“I guess so.”

“It was always written by the same person. This is also reporter Go Ye-jin. No, Hunter, a civil servant in the villain task force, is working hard, so what if I say something about it?”

With that said, I looked at the articles written by reporter Go Ye-jin. Yunhee wasn’t talking about it because she was excited for no reason, so she chose one title as art.

“Once I see it, I’ll give it a good shout.”

“Uh um. “But don’t kill me.”

“Surely I’m going to kill you?”

“Are you clenching your fists right now?”

“······.”

I was really clenching my fists without realizing it.

* * *

Civil servant hunter is a national position. As a member of the state, it protects the people from villains and monsters and forms a balance by keeping large guilds in check.

In fact, some countries in the Third World that failed to keep this in check fell into the exclusive domain of a very small number of guilds.

As a result, the central government is desperately trying to maintain national hunter power, and instead of providing financial treatment to many large guilds, it is public power that is granted.

The civil servant hunter’s public power is not used, but it is quite strong if you want to use it. If there are some suspicions, on-site arrest is possible and the right to self-defense is widely recognized.

There was a strong penalty for making a mistake, so the trend was to avoid using it as much as possible.

I was the complete opposite.

Public power is good. Even if I write this, anything can be rationalized as long as there is a just cause. ‘To prepare for the villain’s attack’, ‘to prevent the villain’s actions’, ‘to study the villain’s patterns’, etc.

The reason I found Oh Jong-yeop was because of the power of public power.

I never thought I could find someone with just their name, age, and family information.

“Public power is really good.”

I finally found it. Slash Oh Jong-yeop.

A friend who believed in me until the end.

But I couldn’t live up to my friend’s expectations and ripped out his heart at the last moment.

My relationship with Oh Jong-yeop was not that pure. When this guy just became a villain, he made his face by working together to disperse the chase.

We were able to become friends because we were the same age at the time and didn’t get into crime from the beginning.

I, who was half crazy, was able to avoid the chase with the help of Oh Jong-yeop.

“You are normal! Wake!”

This is what Oh Jong-yeop said to me the most.

I wasn’t crazy from the beginning either.

To be precise, it was the difference between being a little crazy and being completely crazy. He struggled desperately to suppress his instinct to lust for blood to gain greater power.

To prevent it, I tried all kinds of drugs, including hallucinogens, stimulants, and narcotics, and later I even chewed raw by-products of monsters, which were known to be extremely toxic.

Oh Jong-yeop worked hard to help me. Although I did my best to live up to the expectations of my first friend.

It was all in vain.

In the end, unable to even recognize my friend’s face, I killed Oh Jong-yeop with my own hands.

But even at the moment when his heart was pierced in my hand, he didn’t blame me.

“See you in hell, friend.”

As crazy as I was, I still remember that face clearly.

Although I returned to the past, not to hell, I remembered what I had said about meeting again and came back.

The place I arrived was Ansan.

Oh Jong-yeop lived on the outskirts of the city, not inside it.

At the time, he was preparing to become a large company hunter. However, Oh Jong-yeop was hindered by the fact that his younger brother, who was suffering from a rare disease, was suffering from a rare disease before the gift was fully developed.

The guy who needed astronomical hospital bills ended up becoming a villain by accepting an offer from a villain organization to raise the money.

I will help prevent that from happening in this life.

The place where Oh Jong-yeop lives was an old shack that was about to collapse.

“······.”

I arrived in front of the house, but I couldn’t come out willingly.

Is the feeling of debt from my last life holding me back? Or is it a feeling of guilt that comes from the fact that I killed a friend who trusted me?

I was surprised that I had this feeling. These unfamiliar feelings made me realize that I was sane.

A familiar but youthful voice came to my hesitant ears.

“hey.”

When I turned my head, I saw Oh Jong-yeop standing there, much younger than when I last saw him.

“Who are you in front of my house?”

“I have business to do.”

“Business? “What business?”

“I came to see you.”

The guy’s eyes became more fierce at my words.

“I don’t know any gisaeng brothers like you?”

Now that I think about it, I remembered that before he became a villain, he said that he was quite a rebel.

I understand because there must have been a lot of hurt in the world.

Apart from hurting your feelings.

Anyway, Oh Jong-yeop was the only friend who believed in me until the end.

So, I found that kind of appearance affectionate. No, I tried to accept it affectionately.

“Aren’t you going to close your eyes?”

“······.”

My gaze moved downward for a moment and I saw a clenched fist.

Yes, fights often occur between friends.

First, we need to establish an atmosphere conducive to conversation.
