The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity - Chapter 118
Episode 118 The
atmosphere around is tense.
It seems like I said something that no one could see.
Sehee Lee was looking at me with a surprised expression next to me, but I didn’t care and looked at the reporter who had spoken.
Chinese reporters were angry. They glared at me as if I had insulted them.
So what are you going to do? What can I do?
“What do you mean?”
“That’s literally it. “What if it’s related?”
Isn’t the Taiping Gate an organization that harassed China?
The Chinese reporter who asked me a question shouted with an angry expression.
“Of course you should apologize!”
“why?”
“You didn’t trespass into Chinese territory without permission!”
“Instead, the Taiping Gate disappeared? “Shouldn’t you rather say thank you?”
“Nangunggi Daehyup, the proud superman of China, also lost his life!”
“That’s something I don’t know.”
The good things are what I did, the bad things are what I didn’t do.
What should I do if I’m dissatisfied with that?
“If I destroyed the Taiping Gate, shouldn’t I be grateful?”
“….”
There was silence.
Chinese reporters were wheezing, and Korean reporters were watching the situation with interest.
I’ve seen everything there is to see.
I have to take care of it now.
“It’s a joke.”
“What is that….”
“It means that the destruction of the Taiping Gate has nothing to do with me.”
“Then what did you mean by what you just said!”
“I was playing a bit of a joke by asking you as if I was interrogating you about eliminating the biggest villain organization that has been harassing China.”
I shrugged my shoulders with regret. Then he looked around and said:
“I’ll say it again, I’m not the one who destroyed the Taiping Gate.”
“….”
Beung Chin added to the Chinese reporters.
“From what I can see, the Changcheon Sword Emperor made a great decision to subdue Taipingmun, and I respect his courage. “China will be saddened by the loss of its great star, but now that the Taiping Gate is gone, many people can rest in peace.”
It’s a compliment to the tree that generously gave it to me, but what can’t I do?
As a knight, I might say he’s the superman I respect the most or something, but it doesn’t matter. This much for a dead person.
“….”
The Chinese reporter seemed to want to say something more, but did not open his mouth.
This should be enough.
Anyway, there was no proof that I had done it, so they just pushed it out of curiosity.
I glanced at the Chinese reporters and turned my attention to another reporter.
“Does anyone have any more questions?”
“Superman! “What do you think about the current plus level monsters?”
“I’m curious if you have any advice for large guilds whose hunting performance is sluggish!”
After responding to the comments pouring in from all directions, I went inside with Lee Se-hee.
Throughout the event, I received harsh stares from the sidelines.
It was Lee Se-hee who looked at me with eyes filled with admiration.
“Is there anything you want to say?”
“I was wondering if Junho was this eloquent.”
“I didn’t do it, so I’m saying I didn’t do it.”
“Yes, yes, I guess so.”
You don’t look like you believe it at all?
“Is it real?”
“I’ll leave it at that.”
“…okay.”
Actually, it’s true that I did it.
Wouldn’t you say something like this with your eyes closed?
* * *
‘Wow, you can speak well now.’
Go Ye-jin exclaimed in admiration as she followed Choi Jun-ho as he went inside.
In particular, the speech that silenced the Chinese reporter brought to mind dozens of provocative titles.
< A warning to Choi Jun-ho, a super Chinese reporter! Why did the Chinese reporter look with admiration and respect? What did Choi Jun-ho, a superman who amazed even China, say? >
It went through filtering once, but before I knew it, I was writing an article.
The reporters around them were whispering.
“Do you think Choi Jun-ho did it?”
“Isn’t the distance too far for that? Moreover, there are Taepyeongmun Gate and Namgunggi Shrine.”
“You shouldn’t judge by what you see on the outside. On the field, Choi Jun-ho is already considered the best in the world. “Seeing as I haven’t heard from you in a few days, it’s highly likely.”
“Who has no ties to the Blue House? “I think I just need to get there.”
“doesn’t exist. “You cut off all the straws for being hostile to Choi Jun-ho.”
“Is that why it was cut off?”
“If you leak information about Choi Jun-ho, they say they will inform Choi Jun-ho, but who can stand it?”
40% of reporters thought Choi Jun-ho did it, 30% thought it was Gingaminga, and 30% thought it was unreasonable.
Among the many divergent thoughts, one thing was clear.
If it were Choi Jun-ho, he would get away with it.
Go Ye-jin’s thoughts were the same.
‘…If Choi Jun-ho is a superhuman, he would be able to commit it.’
Knowing more about Choi Jun-ho than others, she was convinced that Choi Jun-ho was the world’s strongest superhuman. I also know that even though I showed extraordinary actions, I was proven to be right in the end.
‘But what if I committed it?’
Chinese reporters were making accusations without any evidence. It felt like they were interrogating a criminal, which made me feel angry.
I myself write provocative articles, but I know that this is not the case.
‘This is what I’m going to do.’
Choi Jun-ho is a strong individual. However, if those around him do not support him, the world can turn him into a villain.
Haven’t there already been attempts like that?
As Choi Jun-ho broke Oh Chang-moon’s limbs on the first day of his inauguration, there were still many reporters who had negative feelings toward him.
Go Ye-jin did not forget what Jin Se-jeong said. What he can do is to encourage the world to recognize Choi Jun-ho and embrace him in society.
Fortunately, Choi Jun-ho had a very handsome appearance that appealed to many people.
“Otherwise, how can I follow you because I’m scared?”
Go Ye-jin grinned.

After going on a business trip, I gained 1.5 trillion won.
This is the monster heart evaluation I received.
It may be a bit lower than the original plus level, but Lee Se-hee gave a premium, saying that due to the nature of marine monsters, there is a lot of demand but little supply.
I have no reason to refuse if they offer me more money.
At the last minute, the National Science and Monster Research Institute announced its intention to purchase it, but was unable to defeat Shinsung Group in the money fight.
The director of the research center expressed his disappointment, but what can I do? There is no reason for me to take care of the National Science Monster Research Institute.
I comforted him by saying that I would consider it first the next time I get it.
Meanwhile, the Asgardian guild announced the success of hunting plus-level monsters.
It was a rough week of hunting. It is said that the Reaper Guild is also being finalized, so the results will be released soon.
Since the news was delivered during a visit to the Blue House, the President’s expression became much more relaxed.
“It’s finally been an hour.”
“But the damage is great.”
“To what extent?”
“12 people died, 20 were seriously injured and 31 were slightly injured. “The Shinigami Guild is even more serious.”
“Ryu Kwang-ho must have suffered a lot in his later years. “Should we have strongly recommended additional power input?”
And then he looks at me with meaningful eyes.
Do you want me to help you? It’s not difficult.
“I will step forward if necessary.”
“Thank you. Let me ask the Reaper Guild. Director Cheon, what is the biggest problem right now?”
“There is no attack power that can penetrate the monster’s defense.”
Cheon Myeong-guk stated that hunting stronger monsters would become easier only with improved weapon attack power.
I agree with this too. The higher the level of the monster, the more powerful the force shield is, but only superhumans can destroy it. Even then, there was a limit to the amount of force of superhumans, so it was difficult to pour out infinite force and break through the defense shield.
“It’s a difficult problem. “The National Government Research Institute is also expressing disapproval.”
“But it is a task that must be accomplished. “I think Choi Jun-ho, a superhuman, would know.”
me? What do you know?
The president’s eyes turn to me.
“What do you think?”
“In the end, what matters is offense.”
“I think so too.”
“We need to maximize our offense. “This is a problem that arises from sticking to old hunting methods.”
There are limits to increasing defense. The human body is extremely fragile compared to that of monsters, so aim to withstand the attacks of monsters as much as possible, and focus the rest on attack power.
It’s easy for me because I have a powerful gift. How did other people solve it?
As I rolled my head, an old memory that was sleeping in a corner came to mind.
“There is a way.”
“Which one is it?”
“It’s about gifts.”
After the appearance of plus-level monsters, the hunting method consisted of a thorough increase in attack power.
At the same time, a type of knife that stabs a point and makes a line began to be preferred over a blunt weapon that strikes the surface. This is because it is better at breaking through the monster’s defense shield.
I remember that the solution to this was not an increase in output but an imitation of the gift. They recklessly increased the output, but when the durability of the weapon decreased, they imitated a gift as an alternative.
If done well, I think this will become a big business, right?
The President looks impressed by my rough idea.
“It’s an imitation of a gift. What does Director Cheon think?”
“Honestly, I don’t know. Considering what you said, I think that if you have a gift specializing in hunting monsters, you can show off your power just by imitating it.”
“Good. “If an opportunity to invest is given, I can prepare at any time.”
The President spoke to me with a serious expression.
Did you just say something?
Even Cheon Myeong-guk, who was always in a position to stop him, was nodding his head in agreement.
“Actually, in this case as well, I don’t stop people from being close to Shinsung Group, but I hope the country is given a chance.”
“Is there a special reason?”
“The stronger the bond between the country and Choi Jun-ho, the more secure we will be.”
“….”
“Your actions often threaten to violate the balance. In such cases, the country is more advantageous than the guild in being able to cover it. The country must actively take care of Choi Jun-ho’s superhuman being, but the duties given to you are the same as before. Think they’re using us. Then you will see quite a few things to use.”
I didn’t know you would think like this. Perhaps this is my ransom that Jin Se-jeong was talking about?
I guess my ransom price has risen further due to this hunt.
“I will prepare it and bring it to you.”
“I’m looking forward to it. Oh and.”
The president’s words made me pause. Is there anything else to say?
“Never admit that you destroyed the Taiping Gate.”
“All right.”

For a person who has risen to a high position, his or her own ability is important, but the skill of using the right people at the right time is also important.
Now I’m feeling it.
James Reed was standing in front of me, his eyes shining brightly.
“It was so hard to finish!”
Although it was not a very long time, James Reed completed a recovery agent that attached the amputated part based on the previous data.
Shinsung Group carried out most of the work, but it was James Reed’s ability to finish it.
As expected, you have the ability to tighten things up.
“Instead, there is a weakness.”
James Reed said that potions only attach body parts and do not heal internal wounds.
So you’re saying it’s just the surface?
This is exactly the effect I wanted.
However, the person who completed it seems to be satisfied with it.
“Is this commercially viable?”
Surgical procedures have become so advanced that awakened cells can be used to reattach body parts even after they have been severed long ago through force activation.
But what I wanted was to attach it on the spot.
The finished product was faithful to its function.
“It would be good to put it on quickly.”
“….”
James Reed looked at me with a look filled with absurdity.
Even though he gave me those looks, I still liked it. If you have this, you can cut it and stick it and it will look great.
I need to refrain from using bladestorms that don’t even leave a trace.
It would be nice to be able to completely erase the cut marks.
“How did you confirm the effect?”
Did you cut and paste it yourself?
James Reed seemed fine for that.
“I tried it with lab animals!”
Oh, there it was. I didn’t think about it that far.
“Why are you looking at my neck?”
“just. “First of all, you’re sure about the animals, right?”
“huh. Humans haven’t had a chance yet. Still, you’ll be sure! “You don’t trust me?”
Then will I trust you?
Of course, I admit that he is smart.
“Give me what you have prepared.”
I took medicine from James Reed. As you deal with villains, you will come up with something to use.
It was time to go outside to check the effect.
I frowned as I realized the presence of this guy creeping in beyond my consciousness.
“This crazy gift again….”
But it’s not Mandeuk, is it?
I guess we should hold a welcome event for new employees.

Hyegwang Sim-eo quietly watched for several days.
The owner is different from other people.
So, he looked at the situation and estimated the time to convey his will.
After a long observation, the owner concluded that something was strange. It is running wild while maintaining a seriously distorted state somewhere.
It is a virtue to be patient and watchful, but if you are late, you could end up in big trouble. In order to correct this, Hyegwangsim-er thought he should take action.
But it’s hard to do on your own.
So Hyegwang Simeo asked a colleague who shared the same space for help.
Let’s correct the owner together.
That is our role to assist the master.
What came back to Hyegwangsim-er was a cold ridicule. I felt despair and anger and self-deprecation in it.
In response to the cold rejection, Hyegwangsim-eo composed herself.
If my colleagues won’t help me, I will do it alone.
Even if the possibility is not high, wouldn’t the owner be able to accept it?
If you are the owner, you will know your sincerity.
With such firm determination, Hyegwang Simeo stepped into the master’s mental world.
