The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity - Chapter 24
Episode 24
At this moment, Lee Se-hee and Jeong Da-hyun’s expressions were the same.
That was the eye I saw the most when I had a hematoma. These are the eyes of a crazy person.
“The privilege of not being arrested…”
“Junho, doesn’t the privilege of not being arrested belong to members of the National Assembly?”
“you’re right.”
How beautiful the word “privilege of non-arrest” alone is.
“There were so many inconveniences when playing as a civil servant hunter and arresting villains. Team leader Lee also helped here… but let’s skip that. “There were too many restrictions and I thought I needed a way to protect myself even if I made a mistake.”
“The privilege of non-arrest is not special, but it will not be easy. “Giving it to a level 8 superhuman is like issuing a legal license to kill.”
Lee Se-hee shakes her head.
“It would have been easier if I had pursued private interests. Money is money, fame is fame. “But you have the privilege of not being arrested.”
“Is it difficult?”
“The fun of negotiation is push and pull. It’s not impossible if the circumstances help. “What if Junho’s value is very high and the government is in a great hurry?”
I thought of the simplest way, but deleted it.
Meanwhile, Lee Se-hee, who was deep in thought, spoke.
“Maybe it’s fortunate that Junho became a civil servant hunter. “The privilege of non-arrest may also be a phrase that cuts to the core.”
“why?”
“Junho is not ordinary, right? “Whether it’s your way of thinking or your hands.”
“that’s right.”
I had a lot of things I wanted to refute, but I couldn’t because Dahyun Jeong next to me responded so passionately.
“Rather, because we belong to a civil servant organization, we were able to stop at the limit of excessive suppression. If you were a member of a guild, friction would have arisen several times. Maybe he was arrested? “In an organization called civil servants, a capable person named Director Jeong Joo-ho was protecting Mr. Jun-ho as much as possible.”
It seems like Jung Joo-ho’s cry that his hair is getting thinner because of me was true. Actually, I didn’t know the difference because it was originally thin, but I stayed still because it felt like it was digging into my wound.
“So, if you want to belong to public power, it’s not bad now, but you can’t stay quiet.”
“Level 8.”
“yes. Strong authority and low-level civil servants cannot coexist. You have to make a choice. Instead of staying quiet, either stay away from power or reveal yourself and confidently ask for what you want.”
It seems like things are slowly getting sorted out.
When our eyes meet, Lee Se-hee gives a refreshing smile.
“I want to make him quit being a civil servant hunter and treat him with the best treatment. But if I did that, my head would be broken, right?”
“It doesn’t break anytime.”
“Isn’t it scarier because I don’t know the standards?”
Lee Se-hee, who was pouting, said.
“The Red Snake who went on this operation is a superhuman past his prime. Even if they pretend not to, the government is paying close attention to the issue of retaining level 8 superhumans. The reason why the Red Snake can be so greedy is because no successor has appeared and the government’s interests are aligned. But here, a young superhuman in his 20s appears? “Then it’s obvious where the government will choose.”
“It means to strike first.”
“yes. “At the same time, act as if you don’t have any regrets about being a civil servant hunter.”
“why?”
“That way your body will warm up. The government will try to figure out what Junho’s demands are and negotiate. Privilege of immunity from arrest? “Depending on how excited the government is, it might be possible?”
At the same time, Lee Se-hee actually said that the world’s attention would be focused on my appearance.
“Even if it’s not the government, there are many options. There is a way to join a large guild, and there is also a way to go it alone. The last resort is to go abroad. “There are many things you can do if you are not bound by the privilege of non-arrest.”
“Thank you for the advice. “It’s definitely something I wouldn’t have been able to do if it were me.”
It was advice that only Lee Se-hee, who was well-versed in the government and guild interests and the political situation of various countries around the world, could give.
“I’m glad it helped. To help you further, please invite the Holy Guild as an observation group during the level 8 measurement. Since Yoonhee is also a member of the guild, we will provide the background.”
“They also gain the background that I am a potential ally.”
“Please look at this level of escort service.”
Lee Se-hee said with a grin. I nodded because I wasn’t thinking negatively either.
After finishing the meeting, I came out. It was a recommendation from Dahyun Jeong, but it was a very useful time.
To gain as much profit as possible by appropriately utilizing my skills. Lee Se-hee’s advice, including the treatment method after defeating the previous villain, is impressive.
“Thanks to Dahyun. “It was a useful event.”
“What a relief. Because it was helpful. “If you’re not rude, can I ask you a favor?”
“yes.”
“Next time I see you, please feel free to call me too.”
“······.”
“It’s all Dahyun. “Like this.”
Wasn’t speaking informally uncomfortable?
I didn’t know what it meant, so I looked at Jeong Da-hyun’s face, but what I saw was an expression of surprise at what she had said.
“Because Sehee is the only one who treats me comfortably, only I seem hard. It has no other meaning. Then I’ll just leave. See you tomorrow.”
It was Jeong Da-hyun who disappeared without me having a chance to catch her.
* * *
“After we capture Berserker and Puppeteer, we will measure your level.”
Surprisingly, Jung Joo-ho was not surprised by my words.
“···Is it because of the red snake?”
“I no longer need to hide it, and I want to be treated fairly based on my skills.”
“If it’s Daewoo, you have to try to match it as much as possible. “What do you want?”
I was thinking about mentioning the privilege of not being arrested, but when I saw Lee Se-hee’s reaction, I felt like Jeong Joo-ho was foaming at the mouth, so I refrained from saying anything.
“We will reveal it after measuring the level.”
“Makes me more curious, doesn’t it? Well, you really are a special species. At that age, you would be crazy about money and women, but that’s not the case. I’m already having a headache wondering what to give. “Well, it’s not me who has these concerns, it’s the people negotiating, so I can enjoy watching.”
Will people really laugh when they reveal their privilege of non-arrest?
Well, honestly, I still don’t know why Lee Se-hee or Jeong Da-hyun are surprised. I think it’s the right authority for me.
Anyway, I decided not to reveal it because Jung Joo-ho’s reaction might be serious.
The role of the reserve unit to catch Berserker and Puppeteer was simple.
Establishing a siege network in turns in conjunction with the existing villain response team. And its role is to replace the main power when it suffers a major blow or something goes wrong.
Their areas of activity are southern Gyeonggi and Incheon.
At first, they moved in and out of the two areas, but after establishing a siege network, they were slowly driven back and reduced to Incheon, and a week later they succeeded in driving them into Namdong-gu.
It would be correct to say that those two moved in that direction.
“Berserker and the puppeteer have appeared.”
“Encounter with the main puppeteer! “The fighting has begun.”
The Puppeteer is a level 7 villain, but he is famous for his immortality rather than his fighting skills.
The main stage of this battle was the battle between Kim Young-hwan and Berserker. But do you think you can fight properly with your arm broken by me? It’s not a wound that will heal easily.
After a while, news of a collision between the two also surfaced.
“Minister Kim Young-hwan encountered Berserker! “The battle has begun.”
“Everyone stay in your positions. Wait for the results and then move. And Choi Jun-ho.”
Jeong Joo-ho, who was giving instructions, called me aside.
“yes.”
“Since you are Agent Black, I will give you permission to move individually. To judge and act according to the situation. Why do you look at me like that?”
“It’s because it’s unexpected.”
“It’s because it’s obvious that if I cherish you, the sacrifice will become greater. “You can run wild as much as you want, so just bring those guys’ heads.”
“All right.”
I chose to stay put for now.
“Aren’t you going?”
“I think it will only be a distraction now, so I will wait and see what happens.”
“···I thought I would miss it and move first, but it was surprising.”
Instead of answering, I just smiled.
Jung Joo-ho knows that my target is Berserker. Since Kim Young-hwan is involved, it seems like Berserker will be the winner.
However, for the Berserker I know, the outcome of this fight will be different from what I expected.
Soon after, strange events began to occur.
* * *
Kim Young-hwan, who finally encountered Berserker, did not have any doubts about his defeat.
Wasn’t he crazy at level 7 to begin with? The hand injury bothered me, but it was a minor variable.
‘You son of a bitch, I’ll kill you when the mission is over.’
He became hostile towards Choi Jun-ho, who was calmly talking nonsense to him.
I have already torn it to pieces and killed it thousands of times in my imagination.
But even those thoughts had to stop the moment I first crossed swords with Berserker. A force beyond imagination penetrated through the sword and into the arm.
It resulted in the barely sutured wound bursting.
“Keuuu!”
Even if that wasn’t the case, Berserker’s skills were on a different level.
The world had a wrong understanding of Berserker.
‘Reorganize…’
“The old snake is moping.”
Berserker began to bite Kim Young-hwan, who was trying to retreat, persistently. Although the fight was tense at first, Kim Young-hwan, whose injury worsened after the Baek Yeo-hap, ended up losing the sword in his hand.
“It’s boring. Is this a red snake running wild in Korea?”
“Berserker, you hid your skills…!”
“Everyone keeps their moves hidden. “The Red Snake has raised his skills several levels higher.”
Kim Young-hwan gritted his teeth. Berserker was more powerful than expected, but he wouldn’t have been defeated so vainly if it weren’t for the conflict that happened a few days ago.
“If only Choi Jun-ho wasn’t that bastard!”
Knowing that there was a lot of talk about aging, Kim Young-hwan hid the fact of his injury and used recovery medication, but his stubbornness slowed down his recovery.
Berserker’s eyes lit up as he listened.
“Choi Junho? “Are you talking about a head breaker?”
“die!”
Kim Yeong-hwan charged at him, holding the sword with his relatively intact left hand, but Berserker lightly flicked it away. To him, who had reached level 8 a long time ago and was constantly seeking to fully utilize his strength, old superhumans did not pose much of a threat.
Immediately after, a fierce sword attack that was incomparable to the previous attack was unleashed on Kim Young-hwan.
“Now wait!”
Completely overwhelmed, Kim Young-hwan urgently opened his mouth, but Berserker’s sword did not stop.
Sigh!
There was a hole in the side, but it was a medal of victory. Instead, Kim Young-hwan’s head was cut off.
Berserker muttered calmly as he watched the headless corpse fall.
“It’s trivial and not worthy of his reputation.”
He was old and decrepit, but he had no shining talent. I thought a level 8 superhuman would be able to provide more inspiration, but I just lost my appetite.
It was truly difficult to see a stellar moment.
After Kim Young-hwan died, the siege was quickly lifted.
After a while, the puppeteer appeared where Berserker was.
“That’s amazing. “Even though I’m old, I never thought I could catch a red snake.”
“It was no big deal. “It’s overrated.”
“Giggles, you’re the only one who would say something like that. Are we going to get the headbreaker now?”
Berserker shook his head.
“To enjoy the delicacy, I also have to be prepared. “I plan to treat my injuries and then visit you.”
Headbreaker known as Level 7.
Berserker’s mind was filled with curiosity about him.
How did Level 7 injure Kim Young-hwan?
This resulted in a trivial match, but expectations for the head breaker were constantly soaring.
“Then I’ll go do some business.”
“Is that body useless?”
“If you strengthen it long after its prime, it will quickly break down. A young and fresh body or a well-trained body is good. “Like you.”
Berserker calmly responded to the puppet master’s flashing gaze.
“If you want to die, go for it.”
“Giggle, you can’t do that. I don’t want to die yet. The joining date is coming soon, so I need to collect as many dolls as possible until then. “You just finish your work and come back.”
“Where are you going?”
“I’m going to the southern part of Gyeonggi-do. The big guild idiots are continuing the hunt. We’ll have to make them pay for being obsessed with money. “Giggle!”
The puppet master quenched his appetite while looking at the list of hunting teams that the puppets had collected, and then left.
Berserker, who was watching, stopped the bleeding from his wound and left the scene.
* * *
Kim Young-hwan was dead when I arrived.
“I couldn’t run away and I died. “I tried to finish it with my own hands.”
There was no intention from the beginning to save Kim Young-hwan. When I arrived, the head was already blown off. It will be less painful than if you die by my hands. It must have been a blessed death for Kim Young-hwan.
When I caught a glimpse of the corpse, I stopped trying to track Berserker.
The location tracker given to Yunhee was sending a signal.
“······.”
I focused on the force contained in the location tracker that Yunhee had.
It’s difficult to pinpoint the exact location with a regular location tracker, but what I gave was special.
A stinging pain appeared around my eyes, and my whole body felt trembled, and a force covered my eyes. A gift that allows you to follow the place containing your force and keep it in your sights.
Clairvoyant.
Yunhee is seen with a location tracker.
And the dolls flocking in. Yunhee was in danger.
I immediately left for where Yunhee was.
