The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity - Chapter 315
Episode 315
In the end, Cheon Myeong-guk refused my help.
In some ways, it was truly an act worthy of Heavenly mandate. You decided to pursue fairness rather than increase your approval rating with my help.
There are times when this is frustrating, but there are also times when I appreciate it.
As president, his abilities will serve him much better.
[No matter how you look at it, that’s not true.]
Yongyong tackled me, but I took Cheon Myeong-guk’s refusal to mean that.
Otherwise, there is no way you would miss this great opportunity.
Because being visible in form is important.
[That’s not true.]
Even if you say that, I will think the same way.
Anyway, Cheon Myeong-guk made a choice and I decided to respect that choice.
“I wish you luck.”
“Thank you for your support.”
* * *
Time passed leisurely. The world was still overrun with monsters and villains, but where I was, it was peaceful.
The villain was not noticeable, and only sporadic battles occurred on the outskirts of Monster Island.
Now, it looks like we’ve become so used to it that we no longer feel the threat of destruction from level 8 harmful monsters.
I guess my role was that big.
In fact, some media outlets urged vigilance, saying that vigilance against monsters has become too relaxed and that we must prepare for a situation in which I will not be present.
But those words sound meaningful.
“Aren’t you wishing I would disappear?”
[It’s natural because it’s hard to breathe when you’re around.]
Experts are assuming that I’m on a mission overseas, but it sounds strange.
Anyway, the situation was so peaceful that even experts started talking about it.
It is a healthy and beautiful society that I created.
While we are living this peaceful daily life, the presidential election season is fast approaching.
The opposition party tried to somehow create a loophole by taking advantage of the fact that Cheon Myeong-guk was a novice in politics, but it failed to damage his image of perfect risk management through simulation.
In this way, the approval rating gap was maintained and finally the day of the presidential election arrived.
63.7%.
It was Cheon Myeong-guk’s vote percentage.
It was the first time in the history of the Republic of Korea to surpass 60% and the birth of the first president who was a non-politician and an awakened person.
It was a historic presidential election in which a strong candidate emerged 10 minutes after the ballot box was opened, and a clear candidate emerged 5 minutes later.
The last approval rating survey recorded 66.1%, but it was assessed that unity had weakened as the election became certain. Although there are some regrets about that, winning is still winning.
Now, instead of being Director Myung-guk Cheon, Myung-guk Cheon has become President-elect. Next time, I’ll have to treat him a little better.
[What kind of treatment?]
That’s the treatment of the president. Although I didn’t have any particular inspiration, I felt as I got closer to the current administration that there was nothing wrong with being close to the president.
[Since when did you treat the president like that? I’ve never seen it.]
That’s because you haven’t seen it. I was treated well enough.
[Ah, was that a treat? It’s very different from the Daewoo I know.]
Yongyong was a guy whose sarcasm grew every day.
In any case, Cheon Myeong-guk’s election is something to celebrate, and now one more thing to celebrate has happened.
“Finally, I…”
Jeong Joo-ho is overcome with trepidation.
It was inevitable that he would finally reach the level of superhumanity.
It may have been a short time for others, but for Jung Joo-ho, it was a very long time.
Every day was a day of struggling and being beaten to death by Berserker. Under the pretext that actual combat was the most efficient method of development, I was beaten to the point of not dying.
Everything was done to protect the remaining hair. And Jung Joo-ho succeeded in protecting the hair of a select few.
He deserves it.
“Congratulations.”
“Is this the vision of a superman? “The place I look at has changed.”
“is it so?”
I don’t know because I’ve become stronger. Rather, the experience was greater when gifts such as high-speed flight were added.
Even when it comes to being a superhuman, the standards are different. It seems like Jung Joo-ho suddenly became a superman, but if you look at him, he steadily became stronger and passed the standard for what the world calls a superman.
I looked at Jung Joo-ho’s head. Hair that was precarious not long ago now looks majestic.
It’s not like the hair has gotten thicker or the style has changed. Just because he had become a superhuman, his condition seemed different.
“how is it?”
“It’s different. different. “You no longer have to worry about hair falling out one by one.”
Jeong Joo-ho, who curled up the corner of his mouth, was delighted with the change in his situation. There are many superhumans in the world, but I think Jung Joo-ho is probably the first person who decided to become a superhuman to save the remaining hair and became a superhuman.
[It’s amazing to see something that you value so much.]
It’s the same for me too. Because it doesn’t apply to me.
As if he sensed my thoughts, Jeong Joo-ho snorted.
“It seems like I’m the only one making a fuss right now, but you should take care of it in advance too. “Hair loss attacks me by surprise the moment I know it.”
This guy became superhuman and crossed the line?
“Are you cursing me now?”
“A curse. My advice is that it is better to manage it in advance. Don’t be like me. “How miserable.”
“….”
[You took a hit?]
It was unclear whether I should take this as advice or a curse.
One thing is clear: Jung Joo-ho has aged a lot. Without knowing that he had been selected as the next presidential candidate.
Since a former awakened person became president, it wouldn’t be a bad idea for the next president to be a superhuman. Why is a superhuman superhuman? It’s because he literally shows inaction that surpasses humans.
This means that his physical strength was far beyond that of an ordinary person.
This means that the era of a president who works 168 hours a week could be in full swing.
I thought about that time and decided to endure it. Yes, this is the most exciting time. It’s a time when the whole world seems beneath you.
“That’s what I hear.”
“Well, I guess I was very excited too. “Don’t worry about yourself.”
I thought he would be so confident that he would challenge me to a fight, but that didn’t happen.
Is there any reason left?
I should have asked him to stick with me instead.
[Because your pattern is obvious. You probably ran away right away?]
Yongyong, that’s because you don’t know the arrogance of humans.
Humans are emotional creatures and often forget the subject.
“What are you going to do now?”
By becoming a superman, Jung Joo-ho had achieved the biggest goal of his life.
I was curious about what the next step would be.
“Well, I guess I’ll go make fun of the losers.”
“Loser?”
What does the loser suddenly say?
Jeong Joo-ho twisted his mouth in response to my question. It was a very mean-looking smile that I had not seen before.
“These guys are disguised as colleagues who were making fun of me.”
It turns out that Jung Joo-ho joined a club to save his remaining hair. It is said that he received great help there, including being taught various know-hows to prevent hair loss.
But wherever you go, people were the problem.
Although he was a high-ranking civil servant who served as the head of the National Defense Bureau, he was said to have been ridiculed within the club because he lost hair faster than others.
They say there are strict divisions into classes depending on the rate of hair loss, but to me it was a story from a different world.
Now that he has become a superhuman and the rate of hair loss has stopped, the final winner has become Jung Joo-ho.
“If they see me, their stomachs will hurt and they will want to die. This is probably the difference between them and me. “Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!”
[…It’s really ugly.]
This was Yongyong’s impression when he saw Jeong Joo-ho bursting into laughter.
I had the same thought.
I need to take care of it in advance so something like that doesn’t happen.

“An atmosphere of ending the war is being created in China.”
This is what Sehee Lee said to me.
We are operating an information network in our neighboring countries, China and Japan, and the situation we are focusing on is China.
Currently, it is the Southern Army that possesses the largest military power in China. However, the Northern Army above, the Southern Confederacy of Hong Kong and Guangdong Province below, and the western region centered on Sichuan Province were causing noise every day.
Among them, the Northern and Southern armies are the ones who want a ceasefire, and they say that the current economic situation is unreasonable due to the long-standing war of attrition.
“If a truce between the Northern and Southern armies is reached, the Southern army will immediately try to subdue the Southern Confederacy and Sichuan Province.”
This is to ensure the safety of the rear and to suppress the northern army by suppressing these two places.
Even though the North Korean military knows this, it is said that the reason they are willing to accept the proposal is because internal contradictions are reaching their peak and leading to division.
I clicked my tongue lightly.
“Yu Hao is more incompetent than I thought.”
“As a superhuman, his skills may be excellent, but he cannot support his political power.”
“Lee Zhenhuo, who was holding the center, lost a significant part of his power due to the appearance of the Heavenly Demon Armor, and the situation was virtually divided.”
From my perspective, it’s going well, but from the other party’s perspective, it would be a terrible disaster.
“There is a high possibility that we will ask the current government to mediate the end of the war.”
“we? why?”
“Junho can be a powerful deterrent.”
As the situation continued where both parties could not trust each other, it was decided to mobilize a strong external deterrent. That’s who I am.
“Why do these guys think I will step up for them?”
“Isn’t it true that you plan to bring in a certain amount of profit?”
“If the reward is satisfactory, the story will be different.”
“Junho, you have also become a great merchant. However, from my perspective, I don’t think it’s a good idea to move based solely on what they suggest.”
“why?”
“They might think that they can move Mr. Junho if they offer a price. “If you make your own decisions and move, troublesome things can happen.”
“Then I guess I should tell you what I want first.”
Since I didn’t want anything in the first place, it wasn’t normal for me to think of what I wanted.
Or is there something else Lee Se-hee wants?
“If it’s bothersome, there’s also the option of not accepting the offer at all.”
If you look at what he said, that wasn’t the case.
So what do you say? As I pondered for a moment, something crossed my mind.
“I just remembered what I wanted. “We should talk about that.”
However, even if I got what I wanted, I was curious what Shinsung Group would do.
“What kind of results do you like about Shinsung Group?”
“Anything is fine. “Even if the war continues, if things go well, there can be a truce.”
What do you mean?
Lee Se-hee, seeing my incomprehensible expression, curled the corner of her mouth.
“If the war continues, we can just sell military supplies like we do now. And once there is a ceasefire, we can take a step toward reconstruction projects. Either way, war makes money. “We are in a position to make money no matter what the situation is.”
[Wow, I think even the devil would get his underwear ripped off if he caught him, right?]
Yongyong is just as he said.
After listening to Lee Se-hee, all that remained was admiration. When I took out the heart, I thought it might be shaped like money. Certainly, when Lee Se-hee showed up as a negotiation partner, the other party would look fed up.
“But what does Junho want?”
“me? “What I want is…”
Lee Se-hee’s mouth opened wide when she heard what I said.

Cheon Myeong-guk, who was elected by an overwhelming margin, was handed over to the current president.
Since we worked in the same party and same place, the handover process was smooth.
“What you face as president is always a series of incidents and accidents. “Maybe more things will happen than now.”
“I am prepared. I have never looked down on the position of president. “More than anything, after going through Choi Jun-ho’s superhuman journey, I wondered if it could be more eventful than this.”
“Hehe, that’s not wrong either.”
Having experienced Choi Jun-ho, it is as if you have experienced all the hardships in the world. The President understood everything from that one word.
“Then I will leave the proposal from China to you.”
“Are you okay?”
“Isn’t it better for the newly inaugurated president to make achievements rather than me, whose term will soon end?”
“But they are probably hoping that the President will step forward.”
“So I’m not going to come forward and ask you a favor?”
“Thank you for caring me.”
“Huh, no. “You should show this much favor.”
If you look at the president smiling kindly, it looks like he genuinely cares, but Cheon Myeong-guk knew that wasn’t the case.
“I think they might be passing it on because it involves Superhuman Choi Jun-ho.”
“…No way.”
“I still lack a lot, so I need your guidance. “I would like to ask for your advice.”
“That’s right. “Please come to me whenever you need me.”
“yes.”
It was a request from China, which has strong pride. Without Choi Jun-ho, it would not have been possible.
Cheon Myeong-guk thought that this project must be successful.
“The problem is not them. It’s Choi Jun-ho.”
“I think the same.”
The Northern and Southern armies will accept any suitable compromise as the damage has been so great.
The problem was Choi Jun-ho, who was to be included for deterrence purposes.
What this bomb-like man who always surpasses imagination would say was expected to be the biggest variable in this mediation.
The methods were so unusual and diverse that it was virtually impossible to respond.
“Still, I think I’ll ask for your understanding since it’s my seat.”
“I hope it goes as you say.”
“I think they will accept it if you ask earnestly.”
Still, these days, words are showing a little bit of communication.
Cheon Myeong-guk decided to think as positively as possible.
