The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity - Chapter 22

Episode 22

The situation surrounding Choi Jun-ho is changing rapidly. At one point, Jeong Joo-ho covered his face with his hand and groaned as he watched it escape his hand and run wild.

“In the end, it’s unstoppable.”

Starting from the direct designation of Choi Jun-ho by ‘We’, to the identification of brainwashing, and even the interest of the United States. By now, other large guilds, as well as other countries, will be busy analyzing the new word called ‘Head Breaker’.

To be honest, Choi Jun-ho is too big a fish for the National Defense Bureau to catch.

Even if he personally takes care of the situation, the treatment is poor compared to his skills.

His skill level, which is almost certain to be level 8, and his young age of being in his 20s made it possible to see how bright his future was. It is an attractive property that can receive the best treatment no matter where you go in the world.

I wanted to tie him up tightly, but there was no way to force him as he was only the director of a single ministry.

“But he’s dangerous.”

The problem is that Choi Jun-ho is a dangerous person.

Although he is a civil servant in the villain task force, there are times when he feels more dangerous than the villain.

Fortunately, he is not a person who pursues wealth, fame, and power. However, the problem was the extreme hands and creepy ideas that took away all of its advantages.

Can the world really understand that?

What if there is a conflict between those in power and the public?

All the brilliant possibilities mentioned above will turn into darkness towards the world.

To be honest, he seemed more crazy than Berserker.

He just didn’t say such harsh things because he was under him.

Choi Jun-ho tried his best to keep the situation from going too far, but the situation has now reached a level where he cannot stop it.

“I never thought I, who don’t believe in God, would pray to God.”

I hope the world can accept that monster.

Rather than worrying about Choi Jun-ho, Jung Joo-ho was more worried about the world that would be defenselessly exposed to Choi Jun-ho.

Knock knock!

“come in.”

The subordinate who came inside lowered his head and reported.

“They say the necessary information is ready.”

“already? “What is the status of the villains?”

“That’s it…”

“Tell me in detail.”

“Everyone has become like a team leader. One person shouted that he would speak up, but he spoke in Chinese… so it was late. sorry.”

“Huh.”

It was strange to think that I would be safe after using brainwashing.

The scariest part of Choi Jun-ho is that he has no mercy at all for those who are defined as ‘evil’.

“And another order came from above.”

“What instructions?”

“Report on the process and specifically how the information was obtained…”

“It looks like Choi Jun-ho’s identity has been exposed.”

Is it Yeom-cheol’s work? He teased me a lot about getting married. But anyway, since he is a married man, can’t he accept the concept of suicide? He seems like a petty guy.

When he immediately calls to complain, Yeom Yeom-cheol jumps.

-It’s not me!

“Is it true?”

-Rather, it was I who was trying to protect security. I tried to hide it and use it a few more times, but tsk.

The phone call ended like that.

It is impossible to conclude that the culprit is base iron. Choi Jun-ho must have been wandering around here and there.

Still, hoping for perfect security might itself have been a luxury.

Jeong Joo-ho’s expression crumpled as he realized that the situation was finally reaching its end.

* * *

The movements resulting from the contact between Berserker and the puppeteer became fully visible. When I asked about the sacred guild trends, they said it was similar.

“There are still discussions going on within the guild. “Reducing the number of hunts will have an impact on guild sales.”

What Yunhee said was economic logic.

The hearts and by-products of monsters hunted by sacred guild hunters are scattered to workshops and factories around the world and reprocessed into high value-added items.

A decrease in the number of hunts meant a downturn in the related industry, leading to a decline in the group’s own sales and a decrease in market vitality. The word economic recession was a magic word that could overcome regulations no matter what disaster or calamity came.

In times like this, a large-scale sweep of villains is okay.

Those of you who know villains know that there are quite a lot of hearts and by-products that villains hunt monsters in their spare time.

“In your opinion, is this serious enough that we need to reduce the number of hunts?”

“It’s dangerous because these two annoying villains have joined forces. But if you’re scared of villains, you won’t be able to hunt.”

“I think the same thing, right? Now I’m slowly paying for food, but this suddenly happens and I’m dying of frustration. I really didn’t think much about the government policy, but why are there so many restrictions? it’s annoying! ah! But that doesn’t mean I’m dissatisfied with the National Security Agency.”

“All governments are like that.”

The movements of the organizations in charge, including the National Defense Bureau, were swift. However, the noblemen who entered the upper political circles were inefficient.

Basically, it is best for politicians to change their positions periodically. It would be more comfortable if all the people on the list written in the ledger were blown away.

“Perhaps because we have a large family, we won’t reduce hunting unless we are forced to do so.”

“Then you too will hunt actively.”

“I guess so? “Because the water is rising these days!”

“The most dangerous time is when you gain confidence. Always be careful.”

When hunting monsters, even defending yourself a hundred times is not enough. In the face of monsters, when you don’t give your best and have enough energy to spare, unexpected accidents can happen.

“Don’t worry, I don’t do that when hunting.”

“And the puppet master is said to be keeping an eye on talented hunters, so be careful.”

“So, if you are chosen by a puppeteer, it means you have talent?”

“Is that a good thing?”

Who on earth do you resemble to be so reckless? In response to my scolding, Yunhee spoke confidently.

“Anyway, you were chosen. Of course, if you see it, you should run away immediately.”

“Has the Holy Guild given any warnings about puppeteers?”

“The identity of the puppeteer has never been revealed, and all that is known is that he handles various puppets and has different uses. ah! In the past, when they secured Level 7 Jeong Hae-sol’s body, they told him to run away as soon as he saw it. “Even if you kill her anyway, it won’t hurt her because she’s a doll.”

“That would be best.”

I had never met a puppet master when I was a hematologist, so it was difficult for me to give him advice.

One thing that is clear is that there is no proper person compared to the one hiding behind. But that doesn’t mean the guy who came forward did it right.

In the end, it meant that he was the one who would kill them all.

“I wear a bracelet when I go out. If danger arises, contact us immediately.”

“It’s very polarizing. “I said okay.”

“Keep in mind. Even if I help you, what you have to trust in times of danger is your own ability. “Do whatever it takes to hold on until I arrive.”

“okay.”

Yunhee also nodded so as not to be a joke anymore.

* * *

As the plan to catch Berserker and the Puppet Master was being drawn up and the best forces were being selected from each ministry, an unexpected guest visited the National Protection Bureau.

“It’s nice to see the future that will brighten the Republic of Korea like this. “I am Kim Young-hwan.”

A stubborn look and sharp eyes like a snake. An old man with a thin body.

Looking at his appearance, he might seem like an old man with a personality, but the weight of his name was by no means light.

Honorary Minister Kim Young-hwan.

Also known as red snake.

With its unique persistence and ruthlessness, it is known that once it selects its target, it will inevitably lead to bloodshed. He was a notorious villain and associated with large guilds in his youth, but he is the only level 8 superhuman belonging to the government.

Jeong Joo-ho, who came out of the director’s office upon hearing the news of Kim Young-hwan’s visit, bowed his head deeply.

“Welcome, Minister. I didn’t know you would come in person like this. “It’s an honor for you to come.”

“It’s been a while, Jooho. How have you been?”

“yes. “I had a good time.”

“I’m here because I have instructions regarding modifications to this operation. I heard that the performance of the National Defense Bureau is good these days? “I guess you’ve been stubborn for a long time and now you’ve figured out how to achieve results.”

“Please go inside.”

Kim Young-hwan, who came inside after being guided, looked around the director’s office and said.

“Isn’t it time for you to become level 8? You stayed for quite a while, right? “You should follow in my footsteps.”

“Haha, that step wasn’t easy. “I’m kind of giving up these days.”

“It’s unfortunate, but it’s important to understand your topic. “You decided to figure out your topic.”

“There are a lot of people running wild without knowing anything, so wouldn’t it be nice to have at least one person who understands their subject?”

“Looking at the way you move your tongue, it looks like you haven’t given up yet.”

Jung Joo-ho, who didn’t react as if he didn’t hear, recalled what he said a moment ago and asked carefully.

“But there are modifications to the operation…”

“I thought of a better strategy. “It’s an efficient way to catch Berserker and Puppeteer at the same time.”

“······.”

Jeong Joo-ho felt goosebumps when he saw the dry smile. In Kim Young-Hwan’s opinion, he felt that there was no such thing as minimizing damage, only ‘efficiency’.

Kim Young-hwan is the living embodiment of power. He is a ruthless person who can make sacrifices without blinking in order to gain more power.

In fact, 10 years ago, there was an incident in which more than 100 civil servant hunters were killed in an operation directly led by Kim Young-hwan.

It was an operation where the damage could have been greatly reduced if more time had been spent and more caution had been taken. However, it was canceled due to the stubbornness of Kim Young-hwan, who wanted to achieve results by the end of the second half of the year.

Because of this record, the amendment he would bring was dangerous.

Kim Young-hwan smiled dryly, perhaps knowing what Jeong Joo-ho was thinking.

“There is a name that is quite famous these days. “Headbreaker?”

“yes? yes. “I am a junior who still has many shortcomings.”

“But I guess I can at least give a compliment to my junior.”

Jung Joo-ho, who could not accept the meaning positively, hardened his expression.

“Let’s talk about the plan first. “I want to talk to everyone, so please gather us all in one place.”

“All right.”

Feeling ominous, Joo-ho Jeong summoned hunters from the National Defense Bureau to the conference room.

* * *

The ugliness of anger and greed.

This is the image of Kim Young-hwan that I see.

Even though he is 70 years old and should be thinking about retirement, he is busy exercising his influence by actively working as an honorary minister.

Even though he was already past his prime, the government was unable to recommend him to retire due to the fact that he was the only superhuman in the government.

No, at this point it would be right for Kim Young-hwan to interfere with the emergence of a new superhuman.

I understand that in the future, Kim Young-hwan will work on the front line for another 10 years and then retire from the front line at the age of 80.

He is an old man who thoroughly stands in a position where he can shine and takes care of the results no matter what sacrifices he has to make. At the age of 70, her strength as a woman was enormous.

There was no way such an old man would just pass by when he saw Jeong Da-hyun.

“Hey, how have you been? “You’ve become prettier.”

“···yes.”

“You’ve improved a lot so far. But it’s time to get blocked by a wall. “It is important to work hard and make efforts, but this is a time when choice and focus are important.”

Jeong Da-hyun flinched under the sticky gaze that entangled her like a snake. The old man was running wild without realizing how ugly he was.

“Please come visit me sometime. “It is also this old man’s hobby to develop talents like yours.”

“thank you.”

“Minister. “What kind of strategy has changed?”

Jung Joo-ho, who couldn’t bear to see the teasing, intervened.

“This operation isn’t bad, but it’s unclear whether we can catch them two. So, I try to edit and direct it myself. If you follow my strategy, you will be able to catch not only Berserker but also the Puppet Master.”

The confident voice brought anxiety to everyone’s faces.

As far as I know, this old man’s commanding ability is below average.

“First of all, since we have a large number, we will build a huge siege network and our elite forces will take the lead and pour down overwhelming firepower.”

Kim Young-hwan explained the revised operation in a confident voice. Although he was confident that he could catch Berserker and the Puppet Master, the expressions on the faces of those listening were not bright.

The elite force was divided in half to deal with the two, and at the critical moment, Kim Young-hwan stepped forward and announced that he would use the momentum to hunt Berserker and catch the puppet master.

It sounds plausible, but in the end, he was saying that he would use the civil servant hunters as expendables to drain the villains’ power and then take the credit for himself.

Joo-ho Jeong pointed out that part.

“The damage will increase.”

“The moment the two villains join forces, damage is inevitable. Even if there is some damage, you must catch it when you can.”

It seems like he’s trying to hog the ball until he’s stuffed himself.

It is inevitable that sacrifices will occur, but if you unpack it, it means that you must sacrifice and release some of your strength so that you can catch it yourself.

Is being so shameless an area of talent? To be honest, I’m not shameless, so I don’t think I could do it even if I were told to do it.

I’ll just step in and break his neck.

“There could be victims among you. But don’t worry, I will send you two to hell in my name.”

“······.”

I couldn’t hold back my admiration for the iron skin that was beyond imagination.

“Bullshit is art.”
