The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity - Chapter 177
Episode 177
“Heh heh.”
The President hoped that Choi Jun-ho would not have any more accidents, but he knows that his wish was excessive.
I still remember the moment when I first saw it.
As soon as he becomes a superhuman, doesn’t he give up his limbs as a reporter? Doesn’t he go out alone to hunt down Nuri, a level 8 harmful monster (now corrected to plus level)?
The process was accompanied by all kinds of controversies and disturbances. Nowadays, making Choi Jun-ho a superman is considered the best decision, but at the time, he was criticized by both enemies and enemies.
Among them, the highlight was the massacre carried out by Choi Jun-ho at the Blue House. Even for him, who thought he had gone through all the hardships of life, the sight of him being cut into pieces and scattered to pieces before his eyes was a huge shock.
The President’s gaze turned to Cheon Myeong-guk.
Well, this is how he feels about himself, so how must Cheon Myeong-guk feel when he has to deal with Choi Jun-ho on a practical level?
When I saw Choi Jun-ho, who had lost a lot of weight after his appearance, I opened my mouth with the contradictory feeling of pity but also reassurance.
“But it’s better now. But isn’t it?”
“But Mr. President.”
“You know that no matter what we say, we can’t stop it.”
“….”
Cheon Myeong-guk’s mouth closed. Yes, it is true that Choi Jun-ho’s status soared to an unprecedented level as he gave them away one by one.
“I have gained great power because I was elected, but it definitely has an expiration date. How much time is left in my term now? There’s a little more than a year and a half left. The presidential election will begin soon. My power is coming to an end. “Will my influence work in this situation?”
“Choi Jun-ho’s words will not be accepted by the next president-elect.”
“Yes, even Choi Jun-ho is still young. Even if you can’t do it, if you maintain your health for at least 30 years, you will be able to maintain your current skills for 40 years. “If you stay in Korea during that period, who can go against Choi Jun-ho’s words?”
“There won’t be any.”
“But the benefit to Korea will be greater.”
“I agree.”
However, you have to taste this taste of Choi Jun-ho for at least 30 years?
I suddenly felt that the president was doing a terrible thing to his successor.
It doesn’t matter. Anyway, by then, he will be in the dirt with the title of successful president.
No, I may be criticized by future generations for helping Choi Jun-ho settle down comfortably.
But it was clear that it was an unstoppable trend.
“And is there anything wrong with Choi Jun-ho’s suggestion? “He says he will take care of what he did.”
“This is clear interference in internal affairs. “People around you will be concerned.”
“I guess so. “But I would have signed the contract to make sure there was no problem.”
“Isn’t that… a scam?”
“It’s like an insurance policy. Who told you to sign without reading it properly? “To that extent, the person who signed was at fault.”
“….”
The President felt sorry for Cheon Myeong-guk, who was at a loss for words.
That’s because I have a lot of responsibility. If I had been a little less responsible, I wouldn’t have been in trouble by now.
In fact, I brought him to the Blue House because of that sense of responsibility.
In that respect, he felt sorry that it happened because of him.
What we can do is elevate him to a position with more authority after he leaves office.
“In times like this, there is only one way.”
“Is there a way?”
Cheonmyeong-guk with a flowery color.
The President put his hands together.
“It’s like praying. “I hope Choi Jun-ho doesn’t get into an accident.”
“….”
Cheon Myeong-guk, who was at a loss for words, looked at me in bewilderment and then put his hands together.

A superman is basically a lump of desire.
Their thirst for power begins with desire. The desire to gain power and rise to a higher position is mainly driven by the desire to have more wealth.
In the era when monsters appeared, the most important value was power. And those who realize that desire and stand at the top are superhumans.
Even those who cultivated themselves like monks had a strong desire for power.
After Woo Aye Cho met me and achieved explosive growth, the offers to me increased explosively.
Rather than wanting to become level 9, it is a manifestation of the desire to become even a little stronger.
The search for a gift is a reminder of direction. Just figuring out which direction you should move in is a huge accomplishment.
That’s why sometimes lost and wandering superhumans find me.
The same goes for the Brunei-born superman who is standing in front of me right now.
Abdul Arqueh, the King of Brunei’s younger cousin and commander of the Royal Guard, is called the patron saint of Brunei.
He was serious about everything, and when he entered into a fight, he radiated heat like an active volcano. He was a superhuman with a passion for becoming stronger and whose future growth was expected.
“Thank you for your guidance.”
“I hope you got a lot out of it.”
“We have already achieved a lot. “It’s all thanks to my benefactor.”
“Then I’m glad.”
“yes. “I will take you to Brunei sometime.”
“Thank you for the offer.”
I responded with kind words to the polite greeting.
While there were superhumans who had great reputations and were humble in reality, there were also people who had bad reputations but were hiding dark intentions.
You must have managed your external image well.
I provided guidance to those people without discriminating against them. Even if you harbor evil within, if you do not expose it through hypocrisy, it will have a good influence in itself.
Of course, there were superhumans who did not give up their hearts during the gift search process.
There was no reason for me to beg those people, so I did whatever they wanted.
Abdul Arqueh asked me to visit Brunei at least once.
Well, if I visit, it would be in violation of the contract, and that type of meeting would not be good for both parties.
After sending Abdul Arqueh off, I headed to the reception room to welcome the guests who visited the office.
“oh! Superhuman!”
“Commissioner.”
“Is the office nice? This is why Jong-yeop was jealous of the place where Jong-su works.”
It was Joo-ho Jeong who visited my office.
Not long ago, after recovering all three major plains in North Korea and connecting the road to Pyongyang, Chung Ju-ho returned to Seoul after completing the handover to his successor.
It is said that the President greatly praised Jeong Joo-ho’s achievements and awarded him a medal, but the person in question actually had a sour expression on his face.
According to the news, the ruling party is making special efforts to recruit Chung Joo-ho. When people are treated like that, don’t they usually feel a bit heavy on their shoulders and show off?
“I’d rather just give you a lot of money, what’s the point of a medal?”
“Shall I tell the President?”
“Are you saying this because you want to see me die?”
“I’m saying this because I know I won’t die.”
Jeong Joo-ho made a disapproving look on my face at my answer.
“At first, he seemed like a complete social misfit, but now he just keeps his mouth shut… I understand why Myungguk is losing more and more weight.”
Did Cheon Myeong-guk complain about me? No matter how much I think about it, I don’t know what I did wrong.
Rather, I wanted to avoid stress so I explained it to them in advance.
“You look somewhat unfair. Are you in a position to do that?”
“It’s really unfair.”
“Don’t even think it’s unfair. “I never thought you would know anyway.”
“You speak harshly.”
“Compared to what I and Myungguk suffered from you so far, this is not at all severe. “50% of my hair loss is your fault.”
You’re blaming me for hair loss. It’s an absolutely vicious frame.
“But isn’t it time to work now?”
“I took a vacation. And I submitted my resignation.”
“yes? why?”
“I rolled around like I was dying, but now I need to get some rest. “You still have plenty of time to live, so you can’t act like a dog forever.”
“….”
It was something I had never thought about since it was Jung Joo-ho’s resignation. I thought we would work together until the black hair turned white.
Ah, by then you might not even be able to see gray hair at all.
Anyway, Jung Joo-ho quits his job. I felt strange.
Now that I think about it, there is another way.
“Then you work with me?”
“Am I crazy?”
“Don’t do that. It’s nice to work leisurely, right? Are you really going to quit work and stay home all day? “Is it okay for my sister-in-law to give me a hug?”
“Oh, that’s…”
Jung Joo-ho looked caught off guard. As expected, the attack on my sister-in-law was reported as an imputation.
Berserker said that the man who quit his job stayed home all day and told him about his repertoire of fighting with his wife, so he remembered it well.
Jung Joo-ho also wants to shed the burden, but his goal is not to quit work and sit around.
He suddenly looked around and asked in a quiet voice.
“Is there anything I can do here?”
“If you are here and need to talk to the government, you will be in full charge. “It’s too much for me to go back and forth all the time, and Director Cheon feels burdened dealing with me every time.”
“I poop when I see you, it’s natural. Anyway. Join Choi Jun-ho’s team. Um. “It’s a course I’ve never thought about.”
Judging by the reaction, it was positive.
“Let’s think about it.”
“I understand that’s what you want.”
“Shall I bring the contract?”
“what? What is so fast? Do it later.”
Too bad. I tried to quickly put the leash on him.
bruise!
At that time, the dog came inside through the crack in the open door. Jeong Joo-ho’s eyes, which he had tried to reflexively welcome, widened in shock.
“What is it? Is this the dog from back then? “Why is it so big?”
It’s been about two months since I saw a dog in Pyongyang, I guess?
Meanwhile, the dog had grown from the size of a puppy to larger than most large dogs.
“He grew up well.”
Since it is a monster, it will be much bigger than it is now. Although it was now larger than a large dog, it still had the appearance of a dog.
Woof woof!
The dog approached Jung Joo-ho with a happy expression on his face.
Jeong Joo-ho was disgusted by that sight.
“Hey hey hey don’t come! “Go away!”
Either way, the dog stood next to Jung Joo-ho. I said this to reassure Jung Joo-ho, who was scared.
“are you okay. “Doggies don’t eat people.”
“Hey, aren’t you saying you usually don’t bite at times like this?”
“I’m not sure about biting?”
If you are hostile towards me, you will ask me. Fortunately, people don’t eat it.
“Yes, you are good, you are good.”
Jung Joo-ho muttered with a somewhat helpless expression. The dog had already licked it with its tongue and it was covered in saliva.
“Here’s a towel.”

Actually, I am a person who believes that people are evil rather than good. I guess I believe in the evil theory rather than the good nature theory.
Humans are animals of desire, and it is believed that the level of desire is determined by individual conscience. Everyone has the same desire, but the degree to which evil is expressed varies from person to person.
In that respect, the act of meeting a superhuman, testing him, and informing him of his potential gift is contrary to what I have been doing so far.
Humans are evil animals, but it was like giving power to them.
However, I did not think that it meant ignoring good people who could exist while being buried in that evil.
Because I thought there were safety measures I could take if evil emerged.
Of course, safety measures are not perfect, and I thought that I would forget this and make a mistake at any time.
That’s probably why this incident happened.
The place where the incident occurred is East Timor, located in Southeast Asia.
This country, slightly smaller than Gangwon-do, had one superman.
“I was impressed.”
This superman named Victor Carvalho was a man who sacrificed himself to protect East Timor when he was young, and was known to be greedy but devoted to his country.
When I actually saw it in person, I got the impression that he was very greedy. I thought that if I could control that greed properly, no problems would arise.
However, Victor Carvalho failed to control his greed.
In fact, accidents often happen when greedy people have that much power.
“I guess the Blue House heard the news first?”
I nodded at Jin Se-jeong’s words. The reason I became aware of the trouble that occurred in East Timor was thanks to news from overseas.
It was delivered precisely from Brunei, and a few hours later, news came from Myanmar as well.
The story was that Victor Carvalho turned East Timor’s president and prime minister into scarecrows and seized full power.
In the case of Brunei Abdul Arqueh, full cooperation has been promised.
“Human greed is scary. “I thought something like this could happen at any time, but it happened this early.”
“I’m also finding it surprising that something happened faster than I expected.”
It’s been a little over two months since I looked after Victor Carvalho, so I wondered if this was the plan from the beginning.
“It’s not your fault, Superhuman.”
“Do you see it that way?”
“Your choice is yours.”
Jin Se-jeong said this to comfort me, but my thoughts were different.
It’s as if this whole situation was orchestrated by me. I believe in the malevolent theory, but I thought that if we put in place a few devices, the speed at which that malicious intent would manifest itself would be slowed down.
But now I see that people’s malice germinates and bears fruit much faster than I expected.
Is it because there is no example?
If so, you need to clearly set an example.
Oh, in this case, are you cutting it in the bud?
“I will take care of it well.”
“Yes! Then I will focus on managing public opinion towards the superhuman.”
Jin Se-jeong answered bravely.
As the conversation was ending, I received a call from the Blue House.
