The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity - Chapter 268
Episode 268:
A villain is someone who does not surrender when told to surrender. It is abnormal for people to lose their will to fight or give up when they see me.
So, seeing the villains running at me without even pretending to listen to my warnings made me feel like I was back in the past.
“It’s an intruder!”
“Kill me!”
“You guys know where this is…!”
Yes, that is a normal reaction.
Intoxicated with their own power, they rush at each other for life or death without knowing or trying to figure out who the other person is. And I gave them death without hesitation.
Crack!
They neutralized them step by step by twisting their necks with mines or breaking the places they could be caught, such as their arms, collarbones, and shoulders.
The guys, who were energetic at first, stopped and retreated hesitantly as their comrades were swept away in an instant.
At the same time, the eyes looking at me became more persistent.
The villains immediately recognized my face and burst out in astonishment.
“Head breaker!”
“It’s Choi Jun-ho!”
Is it because of the disguise? It feels like the identity was revealed later than expected.
“Hi!”
“Save me…”
Either way, I took care of all the villains I could see.
The building is once again engulfed in screams. Only then did the villains realize the reality they were facing and were faced with a choice.
“Ha, I surrender!”
Some of them raised their arms, showing their intention to surrender, so I kicked their legs and stepped on their wrists, crushing them.
“Kwaaagh! Why why!”
“I told you to break both your arms and smash your face.”
As three people’s legs and wrists were broken in an instant, the quick-witted guys broke their own wrists and fell to the floor.
“Keuuuuuuu!”
“Oh, it hurts.”
With screams erupting from all directions, I fired a sniper shot at the backs of the heads of the guys trying to run away, opening a hole in them.
When all the screaming finally subsided, there were about twenty groaning villains and fifty corpses.
Even though Gunsan is a fairly large city, there are so many people who would be considered villains, right?
“I was naive in thinking that these guys would only be in the shadows.”
I reflected. Villains are like poisonous mushrooms, so they can be found in sunny areas as well as in shaded areas, but I’m only now discovering them.
[Why are you reflecting?]
Because I was able to find it quickly.
Once again, I thought that the fence of the law was scary. Villains can also launder their identities and pretend to be ordinary citizens.
I broke the ankles of those who surrendered.
“Off!”
Amid blood and screams, I contacted the Foreign Cooperation Management Bureau and asked them to send personnel to my location, and then I left the gambling hall.
Doo doo doo doo!
Suddenly, bullets started raining down in front of me. He rolled around helplessly on the floor, completely blocked by my force shield, and I shot a hole in the head of the guy who was shooting me.
After all those who had resisted were rounded up, there was silence between the prefabricated buildings. I headed to the building where it was best to hide.
“There must be a place where the books are organized.”
In a place like this where there is gambling and drugs, everything is intertwined.
I skillfully discovered a secret space and found a hidden safe there as well.
[Aren’t you too skilled?]
“Have I been robbing villains of their belongings for a day or two?”
Kwasik!
When the safe was torn open, there was a ledger and a bundle of gold bars and cash inside. The gold bars and cash were left behind and only the ledger was secured. And when I looked at the contents inside, I burst out laughing.
“I was wondering how to pick out the relevant people among so many people.”
There was no need for that.
Because it was all related. Starting with the mayor, everyone involved in politics was involved.
And…
“What is this?”
He looked dumbfounded when he saw what was written in the last line.
Although no oil had been brought in yet, there were plans to engage in smuggling trade with China.
Does this mean that I drink kimchi soup first without even thinking about who I will give rice cake to?
That’s absurd.
* * *
“I’m sorry, it’s my fault.”
When the official hunters from the External Cooperation Management Bureau came and cleaned up the scene, Kim Yoon-gi, who had come down from Seoul, stood in front of me and bowed his head.
Kim Yoon-gi’s work ability so far has been satisfactory. I was curious to what extent he knew before proceeding with the work.
“Did you know that you are connected to the villains?”
“I thought it might have something to do with a local construction company. Even if it was a little rough, I didn’t think he would commit a crime. I didn’t know it would be like this. sorry.”
Kim Yun-gi’s report was consistent with what I heard. If you want to do construction work in a local area, you have to give work to a construction company in that local area. That might be the reason why he got involved with the villains.
“The biggest problem is that if these incidents are not discovered, they will not be treated as villains.”
“But the fact that he is a villain remains the same.”
“It’s my fault. “As long as no crime was committed, I thought it would be enough to expedite construction.”
“You’re not wrong.”
“It ended up being a setback. sorry.”
To what extent can Kim Yoon-gi be held responsible?
I certainly aided and abetted it, but it would be harsh to tell him to take full responsibility for it.
Crucially, I thought it had an impact on me not making detailed orders.
“This could have happened because I did not set my own standards. I hope you will pay more attention to this in the future. If necessary, the External Cooperation Department can request information.”
“yes. Thank you for giving us another opportunity.”
I had no intention of blaming Kim Yoon-gi anyway, so I decided to stop here.
However, there is no next time.
“I have one more question.”
“yes.”
“According to the ledger I obtained, it appears that they were trying to engage in smuggling trade with China with oil.”
Here, China means the southern army. China, which is currently divided and unable to use its power properly, is being beaten day after day.
“That is impossible. It was scheduled to be thoroughly checked when brought into Korea. “This is an issue that not only I but also the government is working hard on.”
“Then there wouldn’t be any problem.”
I guess they were just dreaming about having a blast.
Because everyone is free to imagine.
“Then let’s leave it like this. “The Foreign Cooperation Management Bureau will take care of the rest.”
“yes. I will pay more attention. sorry again.”
I accepted Kim Yoon-gi’s apology and left the place.
When I came up to Seoul, there was a lot of chaos. I looked into it to see what it was about, and it was an article about a villain organization disguised as a construction company being wiped out thanks to me.
Does the wording you use when writing articles feel different than usual?
There were certainly some that took my side, but most of them were media outlets that tried to criticize my words.
Fortunately, places that supported my stance, including Go Ye-jin, wrote favorable articles. But most reporters were desperate to catch my pod somehow.
But suddenly the number of places that understood my thoughts increased.
Out of curiosity, I asked Jin Se-jeong, and the answer came out without a moment’s hesitation.
“I think it’s because of the answer Choin requested from the media.”
“What’s wrong with that?”
“They have it. “It’s a very big problem that could put your life at risk.”
I just wanted to hear an answer from the media about what they were thinking.
“You know that your life can depend on that answer. “If you are a superhuman, you might be like that.”
“Do you really think you’re going to use your hands?”
“You weren’t?”
“I was planning to forgive you as long as you said the right things.”
“They wouldn’t think that, would they?”
is it? Now that I think about it, I don’t think I’ve ever killed a reporter before.
“I guess you thought you were going to use your own hands.”
“yes. “I guess that’s why I’m asking you to save me because of your superhuman tendencies.”
This is the current address of the media that is taking my side. Still, I thought he would make an effort to persuade me because he had a firm opinion, but it’s a shame.
“They say I’ll do my best to explain, but I’m not sure if Superhuman will forgive me.”
“Each person does what they are good at.”
Media companies are good at creating public opinion through the media, so that’s what they act on, and I’m good at smashing someone’s head, so that’s what I do.
Everyone just does their best at what they are good at.
And it doesn’t necessarily mean smashing your head.
Jin Se-jeong’s expression became awkward at my answer.
“…If I had heard that story, I would have foamed at the mouth and fainted.”
is it?
I thought it had improved a lot compared to before. However, when I see them using their imaginations and developing themselves, it seems like we need to stop them at some point.
I need to think a little more about this.
* * *
What I did in Gunsan caused a big stir in the political world.
This is because it was revealed that villains who had been laundered as solid construction companies had close relationships with local politicians.
This cannot be just a problem in Gunsan.
“It was actually a chronic problem. “It is difficult to punish them by law and they have a close relationship with local officials.”
During my meeting with the president, he told me about his difficulties. The reason is that there is literally no way to punish it if it is to be done according to the law.
In addition, because they came out to the sunny area, public order in the local city was maintained, so it was a kind of sanctuary that could not be tampered with.
I destroyed that sanctuary.
How do villains maintain security? They are just trash that looks fine on the outside and festers on the inside.
In some ways, it was like recklessly destroying a legitimate place, but the president’s expression was bright.
[He looks relieved?]
I told you this a while ago. They say it was difficult to touch because it was legal. I don’t care about that, but from the president’s perspective, there must have been something difficult to touch even though he was aware of it.
“But it was a remnant that had to be swept away at some point. “No one could have done it but you.”
“I just took action because I saw it. “It’s not like I should be thanked because I did it to help my business prosper.”
“Still, I have to express my gratitude because the country is becoming a better place to live.”
Because I hunted so many monsters, monsters level 8 or higher rarely showed up, and the other monsters were awakened people from the Republic of Korea who were sufficiently hunting them.
This was a problem that would continue to fester and explode at some point, but I guess I caused it to explode in advance.
Now that the water has been opened, we need to see an end to it, but since it is within the legal boundaries, it will not be easy to eradicate it.
As in this case, we will have to dig into the illegal parts and try to eliminate them ourselves.
Should I come forward? I’m worried.
“Then now we have to go transporting oil in earnest.”
“Yes.”
“Are we going to carry it the same way as when it was carried in the Heavenly Demon Armor?”
“It’s similar.”
“But I heard that it doesn’t last long either.”
The reason the sea route has been blocked for so long is because it is not possible to block the access of other sea monsters with higher-level monsters like when using a monster extermination device.
First of all, it was very difficult to hunt high-level sea monsters, and even if you hunted them, the process of preserving them for a long time and defeating other sea monsters was not easy.
So, I tried using a method to ‘mistaken’ the ship for a sea monster, but in the end, all of them failed. I only chose to move to a year where there were no sea monsters.
However, even this is inevitable when new sea monsters appear, and the sea route has become the most dangerous place in the world.
In the meantime, the president is paying attention when I tell him that I have a way to safely send several large oil carriers to Saudi Arabia.
I guess I should share the method.
“I have a good friend.”
“friend?”
“Look at this.”
What I held out was a sharp thing about 20cm long.
The President and Cheon Myeong-guk did not know what it was. Instead, Yongyong saw that and shouted.
[My toenail!]
This is the toenail that Yongyong ‘voluntarily’ gave me.
[When did I!]
…I think I gave it voluntarily.
“It is the claw of the divine beast.”
“Do you mean this is a divine beast?”
“Is that true?”
Following Cheon Myeong-guk, the President asked back in astonishment.
I wondered if it was that surprising, but I continued to explain.
“If you activate this divine beast’s claw, monsters will not approach. “It worked for me when I was flying, and I think it would also work on my ship.”
“Then the problem must be activation.”
“So far, this is only possible for me.”
“Can’t we go every time we transport oil?”
“So we’re trying to find other ways to activate it. “Any dog can do it.”
It was possible because the dog belonged to me, but having to leave every time I transported oil was not good in terms of efficiency. To overcome this, other people must be able to activate it, but this is an area that needs to be developed from a more distant perspective.
“But can you move multiple ships with just one claw?”
“One per ship, of course.”
“Then…”
“Shinsu is my friend, so I will gladly give it to you.”
[Hey.]
Yongyong called in an urgent voice.
“It felt rewarding to help me.”
[When did I do that?]
Yongyong desperately denied it.
“We plan to apply it to up to 20 ships in the long term.”
“20 ships? “There’s more than enough for everyone!”
[Are you crazy? Can’t you hear me?]
Yongyong was scared and called me again.
I pretended not to hear and continued the conversation with the president.
“It has already been agreed upon to some extent.”
[When did I do that?]
Eventually, Gilgil started going on a rampage.
However, the President and Cheon Myeong-guk, who could not hear Yongyong’s voice, looked at me with admiration.
“What a good friend you are.”
“I think so too.”
[Please listen to me.]
Give coolly what you have already decided to give.
You’re not doing that because you’re scared, right?
[It’s not that I’m scared, but it hurts a lot. I gave it to you because I really thought of you and took the pain.]
It sounded like I could take it as long as the pain was minimal.
This is also my specialty.
I can extract it with minimal pain.
[You’re talking as if you’ve drawn a lot of things?]
I’m not a divine beast, but I’ve drawn a lot of people and monsters.
[Aren’t they all maximizing pain?]
Knowing how to maximize pain also means knowing how to minimize pain.
[…Do whatever you want.]
Then, let’s set a date sooner or later.
I blocked all of Yongyong’s escape routes and smiled with satisfaction.
