The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity - Chapter 33

Episode 33

“Kwaaaak!”

I saw Oh Chang-moon crawling on the floor, writhing like an insect.

Catching him was a spontaneous decision.

Today is the day I become level 8 and go on the official ship for the first time. That reminds me of the time I became a civil servant hunter.

My intentions were pure.

I wanted to be a proud older brother to my son and younger sister who would not worry my parents. I thought that it would be a satisfying life if I spent my fulfilling days as a civil servant hunter while occasionally catching villains around me.

But people around me shook me constantly. In particular, this kind of scoundrel was the kind of guy who would turn even an aspiring pacifist into a villain.

“Off!”

Until now, my existence was not revealed due to Jeong Ju-ho’s protection, but there were several articles about excessive suppression.

Basically, I don’t really care about the news about my actions.

On the contrary, there were times when Yoon-hee got angry while reading the article. One was because of the title, which was close to fishing, and the other was when the reporter’s personal opinion was pushed in a clever direction or made up facts that did not exist.

I don’t really care about title fishing, but I don’t like the idea of making up facts that don’t exist.

Because when I was a member of the royal family, many evil deeds that I did not commit were added as a result of reporters’ pranks. According to the article, the number of people I killed would probably exceed 10,000.

But that’s absolutely not true. It may have been thousands, but ten thousand was too much.

Why did I have to blame all the evil deeds I didn’t commit?

At the time, I did not hear that any reporter was punished despite conveying incorrect information. They did not take responsibility.

So I thought.

If they are not responsible, make them responsible. Because I have the power to do that. Now I also have the privilege of not being arrested.

“Hehehe!”

However, I have no intention of putting everyone under a microscope and punishing them.

Only those who are significantly out of line will be dealt with.

Because freedom of speech is important.

You just have to take responsibility for freedom.

“······.”

After all, they were learned people, so no one complained about what I said. I guess they also like people like Oh Chang-moon.

I called out the name of a reporter whose face I had never seen before but whose name I was familiar with.

“Reporter Go Ye-jin.”

“Hi! yes yes!”

The reporter, who is a little over 150cm tall and has a small build and looks like a middle school student at first glance, answered while hiccuping.

“I enjoyed reading the article.”

“Please save me! I’ll take down all the articles! “Please forgive me…”

“it’s okay. The title is provocative, but the content is not wrong. “I look forward to active activities in the future.”

“Yes, yes! Thank you. Thank you so much for saving my life.”

“Kwaaah!”

I tapped the window door, which was still screaming, with my foot. Then he foamed at the mouth and lost consciousness.

It didn’t match the aesthetics of the press conference room, so I took out a healing potion and poured it on the guy.

Everyone’s eyes are filled with shock as the grotesquely twisted limbs return. It is the magic of restoration.

I returned to my seat and held up the label of the recovery bottle so that I could clearly see it.

“I’m telling you in case you’re curious. The recovery agent I used is from Shinsung Pharmaceutical. For inquiries, please contact Shinsung Pharmaceutical.”

In case they asked me, I passed the baton to Shinsung Group.

“Then we will continue the press conference.”

*

Cheon Myeong-guk, who was watching the situation unfold, realized that it was completely out of his hands.

Is it right to say that I fell into the abyss?

I think this is how I felt when I was a child and the sand castle I had built on the beach for over 8 hours was swept away by the waves.

Choi Jun-ho completely crushed one reporter. Even the villain wouldn’t have ruined it in such a gruesome way.

The problem is that Choi Jun-ho, who used his hand, did not hesitate at all.

Who will bear the ramifications of this incident? Choi Jun-ho was the one who started this, but it wasn’t him. This is because there is a privilege of non-arrest.

The person responsible is yourself.

Because it was he who pushed for Choi Jun-ho to be granted immunity from arrest. All meeting procedures are recorded and there is even a statement that they will take responsibility at the end.

At that moment, the desire to resign rose. I feel completely fooled.

‘You couldn’t control your strength?’

How can you fold a person like origami and lie so calmly? A passing dog will laugh at you.

Only then was I able to understand the identity of Jung Joo-ho’s ambiguous expression, who was standing next to Choi Jun-ho.

When Baekmi poured healing medicine on Oh Chang-moon, his broken limbs returned to their original places.

This is the height of fraud.

It’s crazy how much excessive suppression is decreasing. They made him sick and poured expensive recovery medicine on him. Who would come up with the crazy idea of pouring 30 million won worth of recovery medicine into a villain like that?

During the 30 minutes of the press conference, the common sense surrounding him was completely destroyed.

All that remains is fixation, fixation, fixation.

But is this something that can be resolved?

Cheon Myeong-guk sighed as he watched Choi Jun-ho being questioned by reporters.

“ah······.”

This entire scene was being broadcast live to boast that they had recruited a level 8 superhuman.

*

The hero who killed the youngest level 8 superhuman puppeteer. The emergence of a superhuman praised by the United States, amazed by China, and feared by Japan.

Choi Jun-ho’s first appearance attracted great public attention.

As a result, many more people than usual gathered at the press conference channel that appeared on the official line.

Although it is a small peninsula country in the Far East, it is an awakened powerhouse that ranks among the top 10 in the world.

This was the secret pride of the Korean people.

However, even the youngest title was taken away.

-But aren’t you too young? The average age to reach level 8 is 42 years old. Even though they are getting younger and younger…

-Aren’t you exaggerating about capturing the puppet master? Even if he’s immortal, his fighting skills aren’t that great anyway.

-If you are young, you will inevitably lack the force and know-how to use it. Still, since the measurement test was not conducted in vain, it should be considered that the minimum requirements were met, right?

-First of all, he is a gangster. The younger you are, the more likely you are to develop. And the more the body reaches its prime, the greater the power it can exert.

-This incident deserves praise from the government. It was a big fish that had to be caught at any cost.

-The new Awakened Security Director said he was good at his job and it seems like he did a good job.

-It’s coming out now.

After a while, when Choi Jun-ho appeared, the chat speed began to increase dozens of times faster.

-and! He’s so fucking handsome. Why is there an actor here?

-Is the appearance real? Are you saying his appearance level is level 8?

-The suit fit is killer. You have a face, but what is your body condition? He’s not that tall, but his proportions are perfect…

-brother! Take me ㅠㅠㅠㅠ You’re so handsome ㅠㅠㅠ

-Did you choose me based on your face? Is this for propaganda purposes?

Although rave reviews continued about her appearance, chatter expressing concern also increased.

-But it doesn’t look very strong? Really level 8?

-Is that why you want to catch villains and monsters? If the villain shoots you, I think you will think and run away.

-Aren’t you tired of sitting down? Hahaha

– The monster cries and Choi Jun-ho sits down and gets so tired!

-But isn’t the atmosphere a joke? I can feel the strong aura!

-If this is found to be inadequate in the measurement test, the government will likely have made the biggest deal ever.

-keke Choi Jun-ho’s mere presence will make the villains fearful…!

However, those concerns disappeared as if Choi Jun-ho broke Oh Chang-moon’s limbs while answering questions from reporters.

-···Who saw Choi Jun-ho move just now?

-I never took my eyes off the monitor. When did you move? How did you break your limbs?

-I’m crazy. Even though it was 120 frames, I couldn’t capture the movement. Are you saying this is a level 8 move?

-Cancel everything I was worried about. and! You can’t even lift a hand and a person becomes an asshole. This is the power of a level 8 superhuman.

– Superhuman, I didn’t say anything. Eup!

-Unconditionally obey Choi Jun-ho. Still, if he doesn’t feel like it, his head will be blown off. Kkkkkk…!

With just one move, concerns about his skills were completely dispelled.

What took its place was content about summary judgment.

-But isn’t he wielding his power arbitrarily?

– ㄴㄴ Let’s search for that Oh Changmun. This is the guy who wrote an article a few years ago in which he took money from a villain and defended that organization. He’s a cheap guy even if he dies.

-A crazy guy like that is even entering the National Assembly? What if you decide otherwise? A guy with such radical ideas is a superhuman? Is this my country?

-Choi Jun-ho drinks carbonated drinks to the limit.

-I can’t do anything because I’m worried. What Choi Jun-ho received when signing the contract was the privilege of non-arrest.

-Even if you mess up in front of me, I can’t punish you. Is this the big picture? But you can’t arrest a level 8 superhuman anyway, right?

-Look at the articles pouring in right now. Everyone’s tone is polite. Haha. The law is far away, but the fist is close.

Since there is no one who shakes it off and doesn’t get dust, I don’t think there will be many brave people who would openly confront a superhuman with the privilege of not being arrested. You used your brain really well.

-The government used its best judgment. You won’t regret giving Choi Jun-ho the privilege of non-arrest…!

The press conference ended in a chaotic atmosphere, but viewers’ chatting continued endlessly.

Chi-ik!

Oh Jong-yeop, who was grilling meat on the grill, glanced at me across from him and asked.

“But you were the one who got promoted and I’m buying the meat?”

“Do I buy it?”

“No, that’s not it. Of course, I had the intention to treat him as well, but when he suddenly asked me to make time for him, I didn’t understand…”

“Now that I think about it, I should have gotten it from you, but I think I forgot.”

“You can forget about that.”

“I won’t forget. Come to think of it. “Now my position is higher.”

He didn’t forget what he said on his first day on the job and said it back. Oh Jong-yeop’s eyes shook violently. The guy who was looking at the grill for fear of making eye contact asked carefully.

“Uh um. “Then shall we respect it?”

“I just tried it. “Be careful when doing it in public.”

“right? Is that it? after! “I thought you meant it again.”

“How is Jongsu?”

“I’m healed enough to need outpatient treatment. I said I would surprise Jongsu after he was discharged from the hospital, but I got caught. I really wonder what would have happened if you hadn’t helped me. thank you so much.”

Somehow he ended up becoming a villain. Because of Oh Jong-yeop, the Eradicator appeared and a crazy guy called Berserker got involved. He will have to pay a heavy price for this.

“Jongsu, do you have any plans for the future?”

“I said it was okay, but he kept insisting on working. “They say money isn’t a big problem, but that’s true.”

“Are you ready to work?”

“I can do it, but I’m not physically good. So it’s impossible to use your body. “I’m trying to persuade him to do it when his physical strength improves.”

“Then how about sending them to work at the National Protection Bureau?”

“huh?”

“Because I can select a few civil servants under my command. If Jongsu is okay, send him to work. “All I have to do is organize simple documents and run errands.”

“Are you okay?”

“I’m saying this because it’s okay.”

The reason I attract Oh Jong-su is because as soon as I said I had reached level 8, I received calls from all directions.

Among them, there were many people who were aiming for a position on my own team that I could form under my own authority, but it was obvious that if I brought in a strict person, my traces would be leaked, so I thought it would be a good idea to fill it with people I knew, and one of those targets was Oh Jong-su.

Last time I saw him, he was smart and good at understanding the mood, so it seemed like he would effectively stop Oh Jong-yeop from being rude.

“Thank you for giving me the opportunity. Jongsu will also say he will do it.”

“It will be easy to keep an eye on it as it is part of the same National Protection Agency.”

“thanks. Thank you so much.”

“Then why don’t you buy more meat?”

“Is that so? Order as much as you want!”

You can’t betray your friend’s favor.

I followed his wishes and ordered the most expensive part on the menu.

“Here are 2 servings of salchisal and 2 servings of upjinsal, plus chadol soybean paste stew.”

“······.”

Oh Jong-yeop’s face turned pitch black.

*

“Team leader! “There was a big problem.”

“I’m watching.”

Lee Se-hee spoke in a calm voice to the employee who came inside.

Her eyes were fixed on the TV.

The press conference held at the National Assembly ended a little while ago, but the real-time chat window was buzzing.

“Uh, what should I do?”

“This is an opportunity.”

“yes?”

A violent incident suddenly broke out at a press conference. In the process, Shinsung Pharmaceutical’s recovery agent was revealed.

Although it was an emergency, Lee Se-hee’s orders were different.

“Let’s increase the amount of restorative material processed. “We are increasing the amount of production raw material orders to affiliates.”

“Oh, I understand.”

“Let’s move quickly. Orders for restorative medicine will soon skyrocket.”

The employee who came up to report went out with a lot of work to do.

Lee Se-hee, who was left alone, tilted her chair back and buried herself. I laughed out loud, remembering the scene I saw a little while ago. Even though he was level 8, Choi Jun-ho was still Choi Jun-ho, and Shinsung Pharmaceutical had a big opportunity.

“I guess he knew everything and helped.”

I didn’t know how to openly point out Giregi as a villain and criticize him, but I didn’t know how to use a recovery agent there.

It also openly displays the brand.

It was the greatest PPL (indirect advertising) ever.

Since we saw Giregi’s broken limb recover in real time, it must have given the impression that it was effective.

This will soon create an advertising effect for the restorative medicine and lead to an explosion in orders.

If Choi Jun-ho gained unprecedented popularity, the profits went to Shinsung Group.

Knock knock!

“Come on in.”

“manager. “A guest has arrived.”

“There is no meeting today.”

Sehee Lee hated sudden, unplanned meetings the most. However, when Lee Se-hee heard the identity of the customer, Lee Se-hee’s expression completely changed.

“That’s the customer, Choi Jun-ho Choin.”

“Where are you now?”

“He’s at the front desk.”

“10 minutes! Please delay 10 minutes.”

“Oh, I understand.”

After the staff left, Lee Se-hee, who was left alone, began to touch up her makeup at the speed of light. The most important thing is not to overdo it or to look natural. I made full use of the physical abilities of the awakened person and corrected everything. I put on the necklace, earrings, and bracelet that I had left loose and spent the remaining time adjusting my clothes.

At exactly 10 minutes, there was a knock and the door opened. Not only Choi Jun-ho but Choi Yoon-hee was also there. Choi Yoon-hee, who dragged Choi Jun-ho by his arm, handed him an apology.

“I’m sorry for coming to visit you suddenly. “This idiot caused a very serious accident and I’m here to apologize.”

“no it’s okay. “Junho advertised a recovery medicine.”

“Look.”

“What’s so proud about harassing a reporter and writing about our company?”

“He’s not a reporter, he’s a villain.”

“Oh, is that so? “At a gathering of reporters, you got so annoyed by the reporters that you turned them all into enemies?”

Choi Yoon-hee spoke as if she was shocked, but Lee Se-hee intervened and corrected her. Choi Jun-ho’s actions are highly deliberate. Lee Se-hee, who has seen Choi Jun-ho so far, thought so.

“I know you’re worried, but it won’t be easy for reporters to be hostile toward Junho.”

“why?”

“Because Junho is not an ordinary awakened person, but a superhuman.”

The powers possessed by superhumans are considerable. Nevertheless, there are reporters who attack without paying attention to this because they think that the superhuman force will not be directed at them. However, Choi Jun-ho broke that mold from the first meeting.

There are not many reporters who can remain aloof in the face of force.

Above all, Choi Jun-ho has the privilege of non-arrest.

“I didn’t specifically attack an innocent reporter. They attacked the reporter who actually revealed the charges. They separated him from the good reporter. “I didn’t attack the reporter who was playing around with the title.”

“Reporter Go Ye-jin is the worst…”

“And one more thing, Junho intentionally went out strong and imprinted his image.”

“Really?”

“It is true that there were many cases of excessive suppression during the National Security Bureau. If I had been looked down on by reporters, I would have been bitten again and again starting with this. However, from the beginning, they showed a radical side by dealing with a scandal and gave the image that ‘if you cross the line, you can end up like this too.’ “If a superhuman doesn’t attack me, I can post a lot of fishing articles without worrying about it, but if I think that superhuman could attack me, I’m bound to have concerns, right?”

As a result, a warning was issued and if you wanted to write an article about Choi Jun-ho, you had no choice but to go through filtering.

If this isn’t a high-level aim, what is?

Lee Se-hee, who thought she knew Choi Jun-ho better than anyone else, was convinced that he had made a plan.

He has a cunning mind as much as he has powerful arms. Choi Yoon-hee is a family member, so that part is overlooked.

Choi Yun-hee made a shocked expression.

“You might think so.”

“By taking the first image too radically, Mr. Junho tried to prevent his scope of activity from shrinking in the future. Right?”

“okay.”

“And one more thing. Junho injured Gireki, but he also showed that he can handle the situation on his own by treating him on the spot. This becomes a message to the higher-ups. “If you try to interfere, you may become more aggressive than necessary, but if you don’t interfere, it means that you can handle the situation on your own.”

“Hoo.”

Choi Yun-hee’s eyes lit up as she heard the exclamation softly flowing from Choi Jun-ho’s mouth.

“I think my brother chose it without much thought, but I think my sister gave it meaning.”

“No, Yoonhee, you need to think about Junho’s aim. Junho sees and moves much farther than I thought. “It’s about creating a situation and creating an advantageous situation. Isn’t that right?”

“… Everything is as you said.”

Choi Jun-ho smiled after pausing for about 3 seconds before answering.

“Everything is as I intended.”
