The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity - Chapter 270

Episode 270 Cheon

Myeong-guk stared at Han Jeong-moon.

This is the snow I have seen the most since I entered the Blue House. Eyes filled with a thirst for power. People who are not good enough or in a bad position should not reveal it.

But now, his greed for power has been revealed without hesitation.

There is no way that he, who became mayor of Seoul, cannot control his emotions. If so, this expression of emotion was intentional and had a purpose.

And Cheon Myeong-guk, who had been assisting the 9th-level political president, realized what that meant.

‘Is it a check?’

When I thought about that, I realized that I had grown a lot. Although he is only one of many heads of office at the Blue House, he sees the Mayor of Seoul, who can be said to be the second most elected official in Korea, care so much about him.

Certainly, Hanjeongmun has sense. If that feeling hadn’t been old, there would have been no reason for me to come forward.

In the first place.

The fact that we are in a situation where we have to take action is evidence that this country’s awareness is lagging behind.

“What answer do you want?”

“These are Director Cheon’s honest thoughts.”

“I’m not sure what I think either.”

“Is it really not easy to get an answer? That would be natural. “It was only recently that I became convinced, and many people may still be confused.”

Han Jeong-moon leaned back and buried himself on the sofa. Then he looked at Cheon Myeong-guk with deeply sunken eyes and said.

“I am planning to run in this presidential election.”

“Is that so.”

“And I will give up the vacant position of Mayor of Seoul to you, Director Myung-Guk Cheon.”

“…!”

It was something completely unexpected, so Cheon Myeong-guk’s eyes widened.

A smile spread across Han Jeong-moon’s lips, as if he thought he had succeeded in catching his guard.

“Politics is the art of compromise and also the art of cooperation. Although the authority of the mayor of Seoul is not as strong as it used to be, it is a good position to increase power. “With the power of the mayor, you can put many people in positions and move interests that will attract support from various forces.”

I don’t know why you’re trying to give it up to yourself if it’s such a good thing.

It will last for a thousand years.

Of course, Han Jeong-moon was the mayor of Seoul during the last presidential election, and since he continued to hold the position as mayor of Seoul after losing in the primary, he was in a situation where he could no longer run for a second term.

No, I actually know. He is telling himself to sit here after being given the position of mayor of Seoul.

“Director Cheon will be able to achieve great results as a politician. However, it is highly likely that the immediate presidential election will have a negative impact on both Director Cheon and this country. Please accept my offer. “We will be able to become partners in government affairs who can have a positive influence on each other.”

Han Jeong-moon smiled and held out his hand.

“….”

Cheon Myeong-guk just looked at it.

He certainly made an attractive offer, but it did not attract Cheon Myeong-guk’s heart.

Seoul Mayor Han Jeong-moon was clearly a worthy presidential candidate, but he was not a suitable candidate for South Korea, where a bomb named Choi Jun-ho exists.

Among politicians, no one can embrace him.

So Hyun Young-mi must have also been in trouble.

The same goes for Hanjeongmun.

“It won’t work either.”

“Are you saying you’re going to decline the offer?”

“It would be fair to say that I had no intention of accepting it from the beginning.”

“….”

Han Jeong-moon’s smile disappeared.

“What do you think about Superhuman Choi Jun-ho, Mayor?”

“He is the person who put the Republic of Korea on a rock. “He is a national treasure and a person with a wild charm that has not yet been tamed.”

That would be the best answer Han Jeong-moon could give to Choi Jun-ho.

Han Jeong-moon had a conflict with Choi Jun-ho some time ago and suffered a significant political blow as a result.

If it weren’t for that, he would have been one step away from the central political world and would have recorded the highest approval rating.

“If the mayor had been able to embrace Superhuman Choi Jun-ho like the president, I would have supported him without hesitation.”

“Are you saying my capabilities are not up to that level?”

“Can the mayor tolerate Choi Jun-ho’s actions?”

“….”

Han Jeong-moon frowned and could not deny those words. Even though it brought great benefits to the country, Choi Jun-ho’s presence irritated the nerves.

Although she is suppressing it as much as possible, she made it clear in a recent interview and even announced her position that awakened people need to be controlled, although not as much as Hyun Young-mi.

“That’s why it doesn’t work.”

“You decided to run for president just by dealing with Choi Jun-ho?”

“Because it is something that can determine the future direction of Korea.”

Cheon Myeong-guk’s voice gained strength.

I gained confidence from the conversation we had just had. The only person who can perfectly understand Choi Jun-ho and control him is himself. No, the word “control” is also funny. To put it bluntly, it would be correct to say that they are holding you by the trouser leg and tearing it apart. Without such determination, Choi Jun-ho cannot be stopped.

If someone other than him becomes president, this country could be destroyed by Choi Jun-ho.

‘If it’s Jung Joo-ho, it might be possible.’

However, Chung Ju-ho, who is still weak in his will to power and has not fully matured, must take charge after the constitution is revised to a two-term term system under his leadership. At this point, the only person who can continue the president’s policies and deal with Choi Jun-ho is himself.

As the thoughts continued, Cheon Myeong-guk’s expression also became more determined.

“Mayor, you can’t handle superhuman Choi Jun-ho.”

“I can handle it.”

“I don’t know where the confidence that I can handle him comes from.”

“How dare you…”

Han Jeong-moon’s momentum became fierce, but it was an action that made Cheon Myeong-guk laugh. Although he is now just a director at the Blue House, Cheon Myeong-guk was an awakened person who reached level 7.

“I can relay what happened today to Superhuman Choi Jun-ho.”

“….”

Han Jeong-moon’s once fierce body trembled. What if this conversation reaches Choi Jun-ho’s ears? This is a guy who doesn’t care about the evidence and doesn’t have the slightest respect for politicians.

Aren’t they still going around the provinces killing politicians in the name of subjugating villains? When you’re in politics, it’s inevitable that the timing will come.

but.

It’s hard to imagine what would happen if Choi Jun-ho’s ears really got into it.

Cheon Myeong-guk smiled and said to Han Jeong-moon, who was unable to do either this or that.

“And if you are that confident, you can confidently declare your candidacy and defeat me in the primary, rather than using tricks like this.”

* * *

What I definitely felt while traveling around the countryside is that everything is slower than in Seoul and the metropolitan area.

Even though rumors about me spread and many places had already been swept away, other regions were unable to completely or meticulously conceal the evidence.

I became very full and lazy within the framework of legality. To me, it looks like they are struggling to open their stomachs.

Thanks to these guys being released to their fullest extent, the clean-up operation was able to be carried out quickly and reliably.

“Please save me!”

Quack!

I don’t know why I’m begging to be saved when I’ve already committed a mortal sin. You will struggle desperately to survive during that time. It doesn’t matter because I can handle it easily.

However, the creativity of those struggling to survive seemed to be improving day by day.

“If you save me, I will give you an elixir.”

“Elixir?”

“Yes yes! If you eat just this, you will increase one level….”

I am currently evaluated as level 9, but if I eat that, I will become level 10?

I chuckled at the nonsense that didn’t even sound like words.

“That’s amazing. “You try it.”

“yes?”

“If it’s not a scam, why don’t you eat it and try it?”

“This profit!”

The guy who was trying to scam me took something called an elixir and tried to run at me.

The moment I put it in my mouth, I cut off its head. I didn’t mind taking the medicine and trying it out, but I didn’t really want to know or see what the effect would be. But if you actually eat it, it might have been effective, right? Even though he is a druggie.

When a total of twelve villains were eliminated, I was able to sense that a large-scale change had occurred throughout the country.

They began mobilizing awakened people from local cities, counties, and districts that had been quiet until now, and eradicating the villain organizations that had crept up to the sunny area.

Although it could not be seen as a complete sweep, it was clear that it was a major change that had never been seen before.

“hmm.”

As a result, my justification for intervening was weakened. Although using my hands would have been a more reliable way to deal with the problem, it was also funny to see myself adding a hand to something they were trying to handle.

If this was the intention, it would have been a success.

We will have to wait and see whether the self-cleaning effect will occur and then decide whether to intervene next.

“Shall we leave this here?”

After deciding to watch the progress, I headed to Busan, my final destination.

* * *

Although it declined after the appearance of the monster, Busan still maintained its solid position as the second largest city in Korea.

For example, after Yoo Seong-su, who was playing the role of leader by clearly uniting the southeastern region and was brainwashed in real time by my hand, was sent to prison, Han Ki-yeol, a member of the ruling party, took office and was demonstrating excellent local autonomy.

In fact, when I visited Busan, the cooperation process was smooth and nothing bothered me.

I didn’t realize this before, but these days, even this is a great talent.

“Thank you for the high praise.”

I was currently facing Han Ki-yeol at Busan City Hall.

“But there aren’t many villains.”

I thought it was full of people to kill because it’s the second largest city in Korea.

Han Ki-yeol looked at me with an expression of bewilderment at what I said. Why do you do that?

“Well, didn’t you wipe out the villains in Busan a while ago? After that, we implemented strong policies to prevent villains from establishing themselves.”

“Oh, I see.”

When I think about it, Busan has been rid of villains many times because of me. The first time was when he was clearing out Yoo Seong-su, who was trying to make Busan his power, and the next time was when he came to Busan to deal with Taepyeongmun.

Are you saying that since the ground is regularly tilled, there is no room for weeds to settle in?

I think this is a good idea too. Except it’s annoying. However, the ability of the person in charge of administration here was also important in maintaining it.

“The mayor is having a hard time.”

“I’m glad you know. “I didn’t know I would be recognized like this by a superhuman.”

“I just said you did a good job.”

“People these days don’t often give honest compliments.”

That’s a really strange tone.

Aside from that, Busan Mayor Han Ki-yeol was a person who was good at getting things done without showing any flaws.

He may not be as sly as the president, but he doesn’t seem like an easy person at first glance.

“But thanks to Choin, Korea is improving at a rapid pace.”

“I heard there was a crazy uproar outside.”

“That’s because there are a lot of people involved. “Everyone becomes upset when their interests are violated.”

“I don’t really care.”

“That is Superin’s charm. “Isn’t that what you think, Mr. President, so you are arranging for the upcoming presidential election?”

Have you seen it or heard it?

It was ambiguous, so I asked outright.

“Did the President say something?”

“no. It’s a bit off center so it’s just visible. It is His judgment and decision. “I can feel the freshness right now.”

If it wasn’t what the president said, he had great insight.

In fact, he must have come to Busan because he had the necessary status and ability. Yoo Seong-su’s ability was clear as he changed the atmosphere of the place like a lord.

“You must have thought a lot. And I believe this decision will include the Adept’s consent.”

“I also think it’s a good option.”

“also.”

Ki-yeol Han, who was nodding his head, spoke to me in a soft voice.

“I understand that Choin also has a great deal of attachment to the Republic of Korea. So, why not strengthen that influence further?”

“Is there a way?”

“there is. “It’s good for Busan and good for beginners.”

“I want to hear it.”

“The goal is to make Busan a city that passionately supports the Adept.”

I’m not sure what that means.

Han Ki-yeol seemed to sense my thoughts and continued speaking.

“Seoul has a lighter local character and reacts indifferently to Choin’s actions, but the local area is different. Since all infrastructure is poor compared to Seoul, we are ready to give passionate support to anyone who can help us live well. And the Adept took possession of that weapon.”

“oil.”

“yes.”

In the end, what Han Ki-yeol wanted was oil. But the reason for wanting it sounded quite appealing to me.

“The southeastern region, including Busan, was the largest heavy and chemical industrial complex in Korea. “If you give us a little push, you will quickly find your former glory.”

Plus trade with Japan. He said that if I put my mind to it, the southeastern region, including Busan, has the potential to grow several times more than it is now.

Is there that much of a difference?

I expressed my doubts, but Han Ki-yeol showed strong confidence.

Then it would be possible.

If it doesn’t work, just watch and hear the reason.

If there is a valid reason, I can understand, but if there is no reason, you will have to pay the price.

“It will directly lead to support for the Adept. “Why don’t you take a look?”

Investment in Korea’s second largest city.

I am well aware of Busan’s potential. Compared to China, which is engulfed in civil war, trade with Japan is more stable.

More than anything.

I liked Han Ki-yeol’s attitude of understanding exactly what I wanted and politely asking for it.

There is no reason to turn a blind eye to getting big rewards without putting in a lot of effort.

It seems that the more things you can hold in your hands, the more generous your heart becomes.

[Are you saying that because you knew how many people died because of you just a few days ago?]

Yongyong showed his resentment by pulling out that guy’s claws.

[I was telling the truth!]

Either that or not.

Anyway, I decided to accept Han Ki-yeol’s suggestion positively.

Then I remembered what I heard from Bernie’s mother.

“Finish.”

“…?”

“My aunt’s hometown is Busan.”

“What is that…”

“So you’re familiar with Busan.”

“What do you mean?”

“I will accept the mayor’s offer.”

You can’t just pass by my aunt’s hometown.
