The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity - Chapter 184
Episode 184
Zhou Quan’s private plane departed from Singapore and took a complicated turn heading to Incheon, South Korea.
The interior of the dictator’s private plane was luxurious. Not only are all kinds of convenience facilities provided, but the crew is also filled with veterans selected through verification.
Zhou Quan did not want flight attendants as beautiful as trophies. As a dictator, his own safety was his top priority, and he consisted mainly of those who could throw themselves on his behalf when going out of Singapore and those who could calmly judge emergency situations.
A distance that would have previously only taken about 6 hours took over 10 hours to avoid flying monsters. Zhou Quan frowned upon hearing the estimated arrival time.
“It takes a long time.”
“It’s the age of monsters. “With that, my father took a chance.”
There are very few people in Singapore who can say something like this to Zhou Quan. Because most of them are dead.
His eyes turned to the side at the offending words. There, a woman in her early 30s with a radiant charm was sitting in an elegant manner. Although she was beautiful, Zhou Quan’s expression towards her was not kind.
“Is that why you followed me?”
“Because you’re worried about your father?”
“Are you asking me to believe that? “Tell me what’s on your mind, Zhou Xingxia.”
Zhou Xingxia was Zhou Quan’s daughter and secretary, and was a powerful person known as Zhou Quan’s trickster.
Zhou Quan trusted and followed her advice, given her excellent resourcefulness and quick judgment, but there were many times when she did not like it because she was too involved in everything.
However, because he was right in every detail, he was Zhou Quan’s most trusted partner.
“Korea is a dangerous place.”
“Are you talking about that again?”
Zhou Quan looked as if he had lost steam. From the moment Zhou Xingxia heard that Zhou Quan was heading to Korea, he insisted that he be careful of Choi Jun-ho.
There is no way Zhou Quan doesn’t know that fact.
“You have to be careful.”
“I never said I would disobey you.”
“But my opponent is Choi Jun-ho.”
“That can also be solved with a political solution.”
Although Zhou Xingxia’s words were jarring, Zhou Quan knew that they made sense. So, we tried to find a solution by talking with the Korean government.
This is because the government of the Republic of Korea sees it as having a conversation with Choi Jun-ho. Choi Jun-ho, who was a troublemaker, has become noticeably quieter recently, and Zhou Quan sees this as the government’s success in taming Choi Jun-ho’s vicious dog.
So I prepared some tasty food.
That is the bundle worth 10 trillion won. Zhou Quan thought that this amount of money could guarantee his safety. Zhou Xingxia also agreed to this. But I wasn’t even sure.
“Political solutions may not be everything.”
“So you didn’t take some devices?”
It is said that Zhou Quan was proud, stubborn, and had a fiery personality, but if he had not been smart, he would not have been able to take over Singapore.
He was extremely concerned about his own safety and had made several preparations for that purpose.
If so, you may have this question:
Why take the risk to visit Choi Jun-ho?
“It’s worth it.”
It is attractive that Choi Jun-ho is able to recognize the latent gifts of others.
Among superhumans, there is no one who would overlook the fact that they can become stronger than they are now.
Here is one more reason.
“Especially your gift opening will bring me complete peace of mind.”
Zhou Xingxia was also an awakened person and an outstanding person. However, the gift has not yet been opened. That’s why I forced myself to follow him.
For the opening of Zhou Xingxia’s gift.
“….”
Zhou Xingxia innocently did not like it.
Although he pretended to care for his daughter, in the end, it was a measure that put his daughter first.
Choi Jun-ho’s gift search was known to be very dangerous, so if he was safe, he would plan to proceed further.
If I hadn’t taken that risk, I wouldn’t have been able to rise to second place in Singapore.
“I wonder what the safest country in Asia is like. “If you become a citizen of Seoul, the aftermath of a monster attack is something you only see on TV, right?”
Zhou Xingxia frowned when Zhou Quan, who was both a dictator and a lecher, took a sip.
“Once you arrive in Korea, you need to control yourself.”
“Are you trying to notice this too?”
“Then are you planning to give me an excuse? “We must also take into account the current chaotic situation in China.”
The reason Zhou Quan was able to smoothly establish himself as Singapore’s dictator was because of China’s cooperation.
He solidified his power by working with a strong supporter in China, but recently, as the situation in China took an unusual turn, he found himself in a situation where his support was unable to exert its power.
An example was the immediate influx of refugees into Singapore.
“If Choi Jun-ho is involved in the chaos, it could become more dangerous.”
“That could be possible.”
“When I go back, I can resolve the issue as much as I want, so be patient until then.”
“Of course.”
After tasting his food, Zhou Quan nodded. He knew how to prepare for the future rather than his own desires.
Meanwhile, their plane arrived in Incheon.
* * *
“Welcome to Korea.”
It was Chen Ming-guk who came out to meet Zhou Quan. Zhou Quan was also well aware of his existence.
A being who played a decisive role in taming a fierce hunting dog named Choi Jun-ho. How dare he be called No. 2 in the Blue House, surpassing the Chief of Staff.
During his time as a hunter, he was renowned as an outstanding strategist, and after entering the Blue House, he made Choi Jun-ho a superman and is one of President Jeon Han-cheol’s close associates who led his success.
Zhou Quan smiled with satisfaction.
“You still care that you are sending the President’s blessings.”
“That’s too much praise.”
“First impressions are judged by who you send. “I’ll tell the president I’m grateful.”
“thank you.”
Cheon Myeong-guk and Zhou Quan and their party headed to the Blue House. While driving, Zhou Quan asked several questions.
“I will be meeting Choi Jun-ho. How should I deal with him?”
Cheon Myeong-guk is a renowned specialist against Choi Jun-ho.
Cheon Myeong-guk, who paused at the question, apologized and took a sip of water.
“Choi Jun-ho likes simple language rather than political rhetoric. “I think the best way to meet someone is to be honest about what you want.”
“You are casting the most difficult order.”
“It is impossible to order Superhuman Choi Jun-ho to match someone else.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
Meanwhile, the car they rode in arrived at the Blue House.
The President, who had prepared a dinner there in advance, held a summit with Zhou Quan under the theme of the future of the two countries.
At that event, the leaders of the two countries achieved the result of signing a contract worth 10 trillion won.
And Zhou Quan went straight to see Choi Jun-ho.
* * *
When I first saw Zhou Quan, I got the impression that he was stubborn and greedy. It was similar to the rumor that was actually known, so I must have seen the physiognomy correctly.
The woman standing behind him was staring at me as if she was trying to look into me, but when our eyes met, she turned her head slightly to avoid eye contact. That woman must be Zhou Quan’s daughter Zhou Xingxia. I heard he was a person with great talent.
It can be annoying to have a smart person next to you.
I shook hands with Zhou Quan.
“Zhou Quan.”
“This is Junho Choi.”
We sat down and had a cup of tea. He took a sip, furrowed his brows as if he didn’t like the coffee, put down the cup, and then opened his mouth.
“Do you really have to spar to do that gift search thing?”
“I don’t care about gift exploration. But aren’t you here to take the level 9 test?”
“It would be impossible to defeat Head Breaker with my skills. “What I’m interested in is gift exploration, not the level 9 test.”
“okay.”
I felt the intention to put off the impossible and take only the certain things.
By the way, I think other people are calling it gift search. And I learned that this gift search has the power to make even the most self-interested dictators come to Korea.
“Do I need to prepare anything separately?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“And is it possible to search for additional gifts?”
“That has never happened.”
I guess that was the purpose of being filled with greed. Zhou Quan curled up the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with greed.
“Then I hope you do it this time.”
“Gift Search is a courtesy to the Adept taking the Level 9 test. “I don’t think there’s a need to do it.”
“It would be difficult to do this to just anyone. “Then how about this?”
Zhou Quan winked, and an attendant placed a large storage box the size of an apple box on the table.
“Do you know what this is?”
“I do not know.”
“It is the treasure known as the Tears of the Divine Beast.”
Tears of the Divine Beast? Was there such a treasure other than the essence?
Yongyong, who was next to him, responded.
[Tears of the Divine Beast? We don’t cry, right?]
With Shinsu next to me, I thought I could clearly know what kind of object it was.
Zhou Quan must have thought that I was interested and gestured to the attendant. The sealed storage box was opened and the contents inside were revealed.
It was a solid body with a subtle force. It looked like a stone, but it also shone like a jewel. There is definitely an unusual energy radiating.
Could it be the essence of a divine beast? Or fragments?
[Oh, this is…]
It seemed like he knew what Yongyong was. What is this?
I thought it was a useful item, but the answer I received was completely absurd.
[This is monster poop?]
What?
[To be exact, I couldn’t fully accept the power, so I sent it out along with the excrement. Sometimes, if you eat too much, you may not be able to digest the Force. That light comes from the condensation of excrement and force.]
“….”
It was an absurd thing and an absurd result.
So you’re saying Zhou Quan is giving me shit right now?
In the end, that’s what happened.
Be that as it may, Zhou Quan was speaking with a proud look on his face as he placed his hand on the excrement.
When I said poop, my hands suddenly looked dirty.
They were packaging it like a great treasure, so I told them the facts.
“This is the excrement of a monster.”
“what? “Nonsense!”
“When the force clings to the excrement produced by a marine monster after digesting less food, it comes out in this form.”
[Are you a parrot?]
“….”
Zhou Quan’s expression became scary at my words. After telling the attendant to clean it up, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands until they made a loud sound.
A moment ago it was treated as a treasure, but in an instant it was treated as trash.
“I’ll give you 1 trillion.”
“Of course. Instead, it is paid in advance.”
“Good, very refreshing. “I’ll deposit the money right away.”
The deposit process was carried out at Zhou Quan’s instructions, and the deposit was completed a short time later.
I thought it was really easy to make money.
When the business reached a certain level, Zhou Quan spoke to me in a quiet voice.
“What do you think about dictatorship?”
“I haven’t really thought about it.”
“The world is groaning under the threat of monsters. Democracy is a good political system. “But I don’t think democracy is appropriate in a monster attack.”
At the same time, Zhou Quan began to explain his political views. To put it simply, it was bullshit to rationalize his dictatorship.
“Democracy has slow decision-making speed and is noisy. Rather, when power is concentrated like it is now, things can be done quickly. For that, a capable iron man must rise to the top. “In order for us to survive, iron politics by powerful people must take root.”
The sophistry about the reasons for his dictatorship was going too far.
Well, anyone can assert themselves.
It would be possible to at least listen to the will of a dying person.
[Human, don’t you think that appeals to you? When other people say power, they are all excited.]
It is good because it is power. However, I think power is about being able to act as you please rather than lording it over someone.
No matter how much money I have or how much people fear me and look up to me, it doesn’t matter. If you become a villain, you won’t be able to enjoy the great infrastructure of this world.
We just think differently.
And Zhou Quan’s methods are wrong, so even if I kill him, I can hear praise rather than criticism.
“Then shall we start right away?”
“Sure.”
We headed straight to the training ground. Zhou Quan said various things to make me feel more comfortable, and I could feel that he wanted to become closer to me.
We roughly agreed and arrived at the training ground.
“So whose gift do you want to explore?”
At my words, the woman who had been searching for me stepped forward. This is the person who has been watching me since a while ago.
“My name is Zhou Xingxia.”
“Nice to meet you.”
I didn’t know much about Zhou Xingxia, but Lee Se-hee and Jin Se-jeong told me to pay attention to this woman. It is said that it was Zhou Xingxia’s role that enabled Zhou Quan, who made many small mistakes and caused gossip, to establish himself as an iron-blooded dictator.
He smiled seductively at me, but if I had used the gift, I would have destroyed his head first. Come to think of it, Sehee Lee was like that too, right? Even so, considering that we have now become friends, Lee Se-hee’s resourcefulness was even more remarkable.
Just by looking at Zhou Xingxia, he looked like he was good at stabbing people in the back. I remembered a villain with a similar vibe trying to seduce me and immediately smashing my head.
To put it simply, this is the type of person I hate.
“Is there something I should do?”
“You just have to stand still.”
Zhou Xingxia stood in front of me. I made eye contact with her, nodded lightly, and then raised my hand.
The moment when awakened people are most nervous is now. Having to watch me use my hands defenselessly. After this became known, many superhumans gave up.
I don’t know why I’m being so careful, since it’s not a problem to kill someone if I decide to do it anyway.
“let’s begin.”
“…!”
Zhou Xingxia’s eyes widened as he dug into his chest without hesitation. Everyone around them reacts with shock. But my hand had already penetrated my chest and was still clutching my heart.
Ignoring the reactions of those around me, I took my hand out of my chest, brought it to my mouth, and poured the healing agent with my other hand.
Chi-ik!
While watching the wound on his chest heal, I explored Zhou Xingxia’s gift. And when he realized what a potential gift Zhou Xingxia had, he paused.
‘Speed accident?’
[Is it good?]
It’s good. So much so that it is said that it is annoying when it enters the enemy.
High-speed thinking is the exact opposite of intuition, and is the gift of accelerating the flow of thought to reach a conclusion.
It has less recoil than Cheon Myeong-guk’s simulation and can be used at the right time and in the right place when needed, making it highly versatile.
Even if it’s not legendary, it can be said that it’s very good.
[Then you can just take it.]
Even if I use this, it’s like drawing lines on a pumpkin.
If this gift gets into the hands of a smart person, its power becomes terrifying.
If you go in with this vicious woman, it will be very annoying.
It certainly seems that there is no God in this world. Seeing such an opportunity come to the woman who assisted the massacre.
no. Do you mind that you came to me before I got it?
Without showing any emotion, I told Zhou Xingxia about the existence of the gift.
“Speed accident?”
“Whahaha! Congratulations! Zhou Xingxia!”
Starting with Zhou Quan, the attendants gave congratulations.
“Congratulations.”
I also offered my congratulations. Perhaps, if I work hard from now on, I will be able to achieve a high-speed accident within a few years.
That is, if you are still alive by then.
