The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity - Chapter 190

Episode 190:

The dog is braver than you think. Even though he knows that his own strength is not enough, he rushes in without risking his life. I think I chose the right pet. With just one command from the master, you run for your life, right?

[I think it’s because I’m more afraid of you than the monster.]

Anyway, Yongyong is disparaging the dog’s bravery like this. That’s why you’re being harassed by Hyuna like that.

[Why are you saying that all of a sudden?]

Or you can do it well so that nothing comes out. Could it be that he is jealous because my attention seems to be directed towards the dog?

[Ha, that’s enough. Don’t talk, don’t talk. Even if I tell you the truth, it will be a mess.]

I turned away from the grumbling Yongyong and shifted my gaze to the whimpering dog.

I guess I’m hungry after a fierce battle.

I approached the fallen corpse of Dalbodre, grabbed its leg, cut it off, and cast a mine.

Puzzle!

With precise control, it was baked crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The dog must have smelled the meat being cooked, and was looking at the legs with wide-open eyes. This is Darigu, a devil on the outside who made use of his escape experience during his days as a blood servant. This is a special meal for you.

“Now let’s eat this.”

bruise!

The dog smiled happily and took a bite of the leg meat handed to him. It made me happy to see them eating it up like crazy. Yes, if you did well, you should get a reward. I can give you as many special meals as you want, so let’s eat well and fight well.

flinch!

[I’m going to pretend.]

I’m going to pretend. I’m eating well like that.

“Let me know if you need more.”

The dog couldn’t even respond to my words and just hung its head down and focused on eating. As if you don’t want to listen to me anymore. Maybe it’s my imagination?

Eat a lot and grow big.

* * *

When I returned from the hunt, the hot topic on the news was not about the hunt between me and the dog, but about a new superhuman who had appeared in Italy.

It was the appearance of a superhuman called a saint.

He was only 28 years old, and was a superhuman with dual gifts, not only his own combat power, but also a buff gift.

It is said that he made a remarkable contribution to hunting plus level monsters by directly demonstrating the miracle of God, and this included old man Franz.

The old man said his skills had declined, but he retired even though he was in his early teens, and he is still very energetic.

Certainly, Europe has a well-established system in place to help each other even when things are going wrong.

We’re busy trying to figure out how to attack them here.

Well, considering the damage caused to China, I wasn’t in a position to say that.

however.

The existence of the saint showed me that the world I knew was completely distorted.

Because the saint was a superhuman I had never heard of in my last life.

The symbolism of becoming a superhuman in her 20s and being a saint born in the Vatican completely ruled out the possibility that I had not heard of it.

What happened? Did the changes I brought about by returning to the past lead to the emergence of a new superhuman?

So is there some divine intervention? Yes, since I have returned to the past, it is quite possible that God exists.

I asked Yongyong if God exists.

[I don’t know?]

This is a very bland and insincere answer. Is it because you just don’t want to answer? Or is he still sulking because he’s jealous of the dog?

[I don’t do things like jealousy! It’s because you really don’t know.]

If you call yourself a god and don’t even know the existence of God, aren’t you admitting that you are incompetent?

[Incompetence means that if there is a divine power, there can be a god. Then what does it mean for monsters to appear?]

So, is there a god?

[I don’t know either. After all, you don’t even believe what I’m saying, do you?]

I’m the type of person who needs to see things with my own eyes to understand.

[You can meet the saint in person. I don’t know much about the existence of God.]

It was a meaningless answer, but it piqued my interest.

Does the superhuman saint really know the existence of God? Maybe we’ll get a chance to meet again sometime.

Above all, what is the saint’s gift? If she were a saint, she would be kind, so if she offered to touch her heart, wouldn’t she give it to her obediently?

“A saint is a topic with a lot to promote.”

Jin Se-jeong has a different perspective from me. After hearing the news about the saint, his eyes sparkled and he talked about the saint’s symbolic selling point.

First of all, the premise is that she is a beautiful woman.

“In particular, I would like to connect with Choin because he has the same appeal as Choin in his 20s.”

“Is that the point?”

“sure. Superhuman is a symbol of strength and power. In the case of young adepts, the power structure of the country is sometimes calculated by calculating the prime age. “Superhumans and saints can be promoted as present and future in that they are superhumans in their 20s.”

Especially in Europe, the more they make a fuss about being a saint, the more my value will rise.

Maybe it’s because my stock price is skyrocketing day by day, so I’m a superhuman.

It sounds plausible, but it probably isn’t. Old Franz can’t stay still.

At my answer, Jin Se-jeong’s interest seemed to have cooled. What on earth were you expecting?

I changed the subject. I was curious about what effect the recently joined person had on the company’s chemistry.

“How about joining Director Jeong?”

“great. “He dealt very effectively with people I had had a hard time dealing with.”

The addition of Jung Joo-ho is like adding wings to Choi Jun-ho’s team. It is said that dealing with government officials has become easier by recruiting a vice-minister level director.

Well, since Jung Joo-ho has been working as a civil servant hunter and has built up a relationship without any corners, everything will be fine no matter what he handles.

Well done.

“A lot of attention is currently focused on this place. In particular, political circles are watching to see how Choin will intervene in the upcoming presidential election.”

“You mean the presidential election?”

“yes. “It is safe to say that the decision will be made depending on whose hand the superhuman raises.”

In fact, they are predicting a landslide victory for the ruling party due to the president’s overwhelming achievements. However, he said he feels a sense of crisis that he may be overturned due to the ruling party’s inability to dominate the presidential candidate list and his father’s association with opposition party politicians.

“The opposition presidential candidate is Rep. Hyun Young-mi, but the ruling party is in disarray.”

Well, I think the ruling party will have Cheon Myeong-guk as its presidential candidate. I don’t know my doctor yet, so I’ll refrain from mentioning it.

Let alone the parties concerned, it will be a point to watch to see how the President will tie it all together.

“What about Director Jeong?”

“He went to the Blue House to meet Director Cheon Myeong-guk.”

Now that I think about it, Jung Joo-ho is also unusually tactful, so he wouldn’t go to the Blue House and notice it, right?

* * *

At that time, Jeong Joo-ho, who was visiting the Blue House, was chatting with Cheon Myeong-guk over a cup of tea.

“My spirit has become clearer. “I guess it’s better than I thought?”

“Haha, there are some unexpected things, but I am working comfortably.”

“When I left, I thought I would be caught and taken away.”

“These are all familiar faces anyway, so there’s no reason for it to be harder than before. Look, even now, when you come to work, you finish it quickly and enjoy your free time.”

Jeong Joo-ho’s expression was definitely brighter than when he was in public office. Cheon Myeong-guk couldn’t hide his envy and quenched his appetite.

“I’m jealous of that.”

“Director, you can finish it quickly and enjoy your free time. “I heard that guy, Yang Joo-hyuk, is a good guy?”

“Even though he gets along well with Choi Jun-ho, he is still a newcomer. “You can’t just pass on important responsibilities and run away.”

“Anyway, the problem is the sense of responsibility.”

“I wonder if my personality is like that.”

“Well, that’s why I like the manager.”

“It’s nice to have someone I can talk to comfortably.”

The two got along well and looked at each other and laughed. Starting with the common theme of Choi Jun-ho, they developed into close friends who understood each other.

What would have happened if each other had not existed?

He must have suffered from even more extreme stress as he suffered from bloody stool on one side and hair loss on the other.

Of course, the symptoms would have gotten worse.

In that respect, the two were special to each other.

“So when is it going to come out?”

“I’ve been watching for about a year.”

“What’s taking so long?”

“There is so much to hand over and so much to learn.”

Jeong Joo-ho put down the teacup and made a puzzled expression.

“Leaving aside handovers, what do we need to learn?”

“I guess the person I am in charge of is not an ordinary person.”

“I still don’t understand.”

“is it?”

“yes.”

“But you know what to do with Choi Jun-ho, right? “It’s work, but you also have to think about the aftermath and know how to coordinate conflicts that arise between ministries.”

So why dig deeper when you should usually hand over the work to a successor.

Immediately on his own, he handed over the work he had done as Commissioner to Yeom Ki-cheol and quit immediately.

Cheon Myeong-guk’s meticulousness was unusual, but this went too far.

“Are you saying you are learning business from the President?”

“yes.”

“….”

Jeong Joo-ho felt anxious. If Cheon Myung-guk quits, the empty space will certainly be felt greatly. Maybe it’s not completely filled. However, since it is a place where talented people gather, it will work out somehow.

But rather than letting Cheon Myeong-guk go obediently, he is teaching him how to do things? And the president himself?

‘It’s like the president is handing over…’

Jeong Joo-ho, whose thoughts had gone that far, was shocked. What are you thinking right now? The position of president of a country is no joke.

however.

Why, if that’s true, is everything explained so clearly?

“Director Jeong.”

“Oh yeah.”

“what’s the matter?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

Yes, it must be your own. Cheon Myeong-guk is a person who has never really done politics.

But for some reason, my thoughts kept going in that direction.

* * *

James Reed, who returned to the United States, was able to confirm that the aftermath of the clash between the league and the party was more serious than expected.

Maxim Geddes cited the emergence of Hell Master as the reason for the failure.

“Hell Master, if it weren’t for that bastard.”

“Argos probably also believed in the Hell Master and moved.”

“That’s right, they hid that fact and dragged us in. Concentrate a significant portion of your power.”

“It is a great achievement to be able to confirm the strength of the league. “Don’t be too disappointed.”

“Still, I can’t erase the feeling that I missed a good opportunity. If we had mobilized our power more boldly, Heinrich would not have died. “This happened thanks to those old men’s insistence on prudence!”

As a result, even Heinrich, the scale who was providing information to the league, was lost. As a great superman and informant, he was a person who could play a bigger role.

Maxim Geddes blamed the old-timers within the party. Due to their restraint, the party was unable to mobilize its full strength and it was thought that it missed the golden opportunity to eliminate the league.

James Reed had a different idea. Even if the party had mobilized all its power, the league would not have collapsed. The League, which spun off from the party, had already grown to the point where it was waging war against the world.

But there was no denying that it was an opportunity to inflict a big blow.

“Let’s make the next opportunity better.”

“Ha, okay. and.”

Maxim Geddes revealed the reason for visiting James Reed.

“As you know, thunderbirds exist in America.”

“….”

James Reed nodded.

“It is known that the Divine Beast does not intervene in the affairs of the human world, but our Divine Beast is very interested in the world. “They have made several requests to us.”

“Shinsu?”

“Yes, and this request is quite a big one.”

“what?”

“They say the power of divine beasts is hidden all over the world. “It’s called Jeongsu, and one is expected to reveal itself soon.”

I thought that because it was the essence of a divine beast, it seemed to have the potential for power beyond imagination.

“The essence of the divine beast grants the power to overcome human limitations. “It creates a body that can use multiple gifts and can withstand the recoil from powerful gifts.”

“Amazing?”

“If I get my hands on it, I will be able to demonstrate power equivalent to level 9. “Maybe I can stand on equal footing with that guy Choi Jun-ho.”

When I heard it was Choi Jun-ho, it immediately hit me. Saying this made me realize how great Choi Jun-ho is. It is said that one can only achieve that power by taking the essence of a divine beast.

What will happen if Choi Jun-ho takes the essence of Shinsoo?

“….”

Even though I only imagined it for a moment, goosebumps covered my whole body.

“Is this a request to retrieve that?”

“He said he would leave it to me to retrieve it once it came under control.”

“Control?”

“I heard that each divine beast has its own territory, and if you show initiative, you can bring it near your territory.”

He revealed that he is currently competing for leadership with another Shinsu.

James Reed felt puzzled.

“But why doesn’t the Thunderbird come forward?”

If it’s such a great treasure, wouldn’t it be right to go out in person?

“He won’t tell me in detail, but I think he can’t take the essence of the divine beast directly.”

“Then wouldn’t it be better for you to take it? If it is the essence of a divine beast…”

Maxim Geddes will be able to restore what he lost.

Realizing the meaning of those words, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

“No, you can’t use an integer for something trivial like that.”

And then he fixed his gaze on James Reed.

“When I get the essence, I plan to give it to you.”

“me? “Why am I growing up?”

“It’s because I think you are the person who will make the most use of this new treasure whose value is difficult to measure.”

“….”

“And when you receive the purified water, join the party, James.”

The offer to join the party was from James Reed, who had already been there for a long time. I refused each time, but Maxim Geddes threw a bait that was difficult to resist.

Only then did he understand why Maxim Geddes had come to see him.

“Was that the purpose?”

“If it wasn’t to this extent, I wouldn’t have even considered it.”

“I didn’t really ask for anything in return.”

“Still, take it. “You are the only one who can best use this treasure.”

James Reed chuckled at the serious look.

“Let’s secure it first and then we’ll talk.”

“Well, the Thunderbird said that other than himself, other divine beasts are also after the essence. “They said they would also select an agent.”

He is an agent of another divine beast.

I was curious who it would be.

Maxim Geddes spoke as if he had read the thoughts.

“It doesn’t matter who it is. Just knock it down and get it.”
