The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity - Chapter 65
Episode 65:
After the meeting, Choi Jun-ho and Jeong Ju-ho returned.
Cheon Myeong-guk looked at the president who was still deep in thought and spoke cautiously.
“Mr. President.”
“I know what’s on your mind.”
Even though the President said so, Cheon Myeong-guk could not hide his rising concern.
“Choi Jun-ho’s superman’s sword will not distinguish between friend and enemy.”
Among politicians, no one is perfect.
This becomes even more true the higher you go. Climbing to the top without being covered in dirt is something only imaginable. The current president also got elected with all kinds of dirt on him.
This time the sword will be aimed at a shooting star, but there is no guarantee that the next time will not be the president.
“It’s something I wouldn’t have been able to tell in the past. But I meant what I said today.”
What the President said to Choi Jun-ho.
If you commit a crime, you must pay the price.
It was a rule that had not been applied in Korea for a long time. They issued indulgences using all kinds of words, such as saying that it was a state of emergency, being caught up in a whirlwind of political strife, compromising within an appropriate line, and considering the situation otherwise, there were extenuating circumstances.
As a result, the Republic of Korea was divided.
The same goes for Yoo Seong-su. He reigns like a king in Busan and is using all kinds of interests to increase his power in order to become president.
Someone even joked that this was the time when local decentralization was the best in the history of Korea.
“You can’t stab your friend first with that knife. Then no one will tolerate it. It is enough to stab the enemy first and then realize that the sword can also stab us. “Because the forces that would oppose it have disappeared.”
“It is a delusion that you can control the superhuman Choi Jun-ho.”
“So we have to be good at appointing people. This is possible now because of you and me. Wouldn’t the next president do well as well? “Your successor will also do well.”
“······.”
Both the President and Cheon Myeong-guk knew that it was impossible.
I’m just rationalizing.
“Anyway, even if I tried to suppress him, he was impossible. The more you press, the more it will stick out, so it’s better to tune in. Imagine you are part of a league. “Do you think you won’t want Choi Jun-ho?”
“···I’m going to crave it.”
“Maybe the black hound appeared for that purpose. The worst villain known as the Three Evils personally came as a messenger. I guess it’s more about having a conversation with Choi Jun-ho than the value of Big Bang. “Nevertheless, the fact that it came back means that we didn’t cross the line we were worried about.”
“We will do our best to suppress it.”
“Because of you, I can trust and proceed with the work. “First, pay attention to supplementing the information about Meteor Tree.”
“yes. “I will inform the Prosecutor General.”
After finishing his conversation with the President, Cheon Myeong-guk sighed.
Originally, the president had a fiery personality, but he was able to manage it well. However, when Choi Jun-ho, a sharp knife, came into his hands, his thoughts began to change.
No matter how good a sword it is, if you give it an order, it will think as it pleases. And they instinctively mix their own calculations with the wishes of their superiors.
However, Choi Jun-ho cuts down on sight if the opponent is evil. The result is produced exactly as calculated.
The famous swordsman who could realize the justice he had imagined was Choi Jun-ho.
How could a person with noble intentions not covet this?
The only problem is that you have to worry that if you handle it incorrectly, it will fly down your neck.
“It’s a sword that can be a holy sword or a demon sword, so it’s even weirder not to use it.”
My mind became confused as I thought about how this situation would unfold.
One thing was clear.
The Republic of Korea will be turned upside down. The impact will spread to Japan as well.
It’s just that you have to take care of it yourself.
First of all, I have no choice but to do my best. Fortunately, he is not alone and Jung Joo-ho is also with him.
“huh?”
Upon arriving at the Awakened Security Office, Cheon Myeong-guk noticed that the atmosphere was strange, turned his head to where the attention was focused, and paused.
Jung Joo-ho was sitting in his seat with a very arrogant posture.
I am looking this way with my eyes full of murder.
“Director Cheon Myeong-guk.”
“what?”
“I’m now going to be a vice minister. Can’t I talk to you in peace?”
For reference, the head of the Awakened Security Office is at the ministerial level. This means that even if Jeong Joo-ho becomes the commissioner, he is superior.
But that’s not the atmosphere to work. The reason why Jeong Joo-ho ultimately accepted the position of commissioner was because of his own scheme.
It’s just that Jung Joo-ho’s rear end was longer than I thought.
“I have a lot to talk about. Do you have time?”
“I have to do it.”
Overwhelmed by Jeong Joo-ho’s momentum, Cheon Myeong-guk nodded.
“Okay, we can finally communicate now.”
Jung Joo-ho, smiling brightly, got up from his seat and stood next to Cheon Myeong-guk. And he said with a smile on his face full of life.
“Follow me to the rooftop.”

Before returning home, I stopped by the Shinsung Guild and met Lee Se-hee.
Seeing you dressed up as colorfully as ever today makes me feel at ease. As expected, Lee Se-hee had to be flashy to be like Lee Se-hee.
“… Therefore, Kim Jong-hyun’s absence will not be a problem at all. “With Mr. Jonghyun Kim’s dexterity, we could have quickly identified some areas of improvement, but this is something that even the lab craftsmen can do.”
“I’m glad.”
“yes. I didn’t know that a catastrophe would come this quickly, but I have accumulated know-how in risk management. “Only at this level can we hear the best sound in the country.”
It’s a relief to see someone taking care of everything.
This is the power of large corporations.
I realized that worrying about problems arising from the disappearance of Heartwalker was unnecessary.
“But are you really okay with the tax issue?”
“why?”
“When you actually look at the taxes being paid, it’s quite disappointing. “I’m worried.”
“doesn’t care.”
Anyway, in my eyes, it only felt like numbers were missing from the numbers.
Lee Se-hee shook her head and was impressed.
“I’ve never seen anyone so detached from money, but you’re really amazing.”
“Wasn’t that the case for you too?”
“Me? You saw it wrong. “Rather, I’m crazy about money.”
“It doesn’t look like that.”
“I’m just crazy, but I’m not eaten. “I’m still thinking hard about how I can make more money.”
“That’s amazing.”
I thought that the way of thinking of chaebols is definitely different from that of ordinary people.
However, I did not view obsession with money as a bad thing. Because that obsession seemed to be the driving force that brought me to my current position.
Anyway, they say they are just crazy and don’t get eaten. It was something that touched me. This is a story to refer to as there was a time when he was eaten by a monster called a hematoma.
“By the way, are you okay?”
“The Heartwalker thing is okay.”
Lee Se-hee shook her head.
“That’s not what I’m talking about.”
“then?”
“It looks like you have other concerns.”
“······.”
It’s a ghost.
Actually, there was something that bothered me ever since I met Argos earlier.
At first, I thought it was a spiritual gift, but it wasn’t.
His words touched the anxiety I had in my heart, and I couldn’t shake that part easily.
Sehee Lee captured this concern.
“If it’s okay, would you please talk to me? “I’m confident in my ability to listen.”
“It’s no big deal.”
“I’m saying it’s okay? “Now tell me.”
I burst into laughter when I saw him pounding his chest with his fist. It was a cute behavior that was uncharacteristic of Lee Se-hee.
“Do you think I would have become a villain if I hadn’t become a civil servant hunter?”
“A villain?”
“There are people who say I will become a villain one day.”
What does Lee Se-hee think? After thinking about it, should I say no? It may seem obvious, but it might not be a bad thing.
Maybe I wanted to hear at least a certain answer.
And the expected answer came.
“Not at all!”
“···okay?”
“yes. Really. “I don’t know who said it, but they made a lot of bullshit.”
The expression was quite rough. I think he’s more upset than me.
“I’m not just saying this to comfort you. I probably did that just based on Junho’s appearance. But the essence itself is different.”
“To the essence?”
“yes. The biggest difference between Junho and the villain is the things they worry about. Villains leave everything to their desires. If you want it, take it and kill it. Unlike them, Junho has clear standards. “Being wary of becoming a villain is itself the strongest reason not to become a villain.”
These were not just words of comfort, but words of strength.
It could be said that because I was a villain, I may not be a villain.
It was insight and advice that was only possible because it was Lee Se-hee.
It’s not like you can see your past life through a gift, right?
“More than anything, thinking about these things means there is room for improvement.”
“It sounds like improvements are needed.”
“I guess that depends on Junho’s choice, right?”
“If I want to improve now, is it possible to do so?”
“Yes, enough.”
How can I say this with certainty? But what do you need to improve?
Any doubts about this were immediately resolved.
“You can use an expert.”
“Suddenly an expert?”
“Yes, an expert who will manage Junho’s image. In fact, many hunters use professionals to manage their self-image. “Did you know that among hunters, there are people who enjoy as much popularity as celebrities?”
“know.”
Representative examples are Lee Se-hee and Jeong Da-hyun, but they are different cases. Although they are hunters, there are people who appear on TV programs as often as celebrities.
They are responsible for explaining the hunting process to the public, informing them of the difficulties hunters face and the dangers of monsters, as well as the benefits of becoming a hunter.
“You make money by being good at creating an image. “Do you think I would make more money from appearing on TV or filming commercials than I would from actually hunting?”
“It’s amazing.”
“The government needs to instill envy toward the awakened.”
It was the irony of the government.
While trying to control the awakened people, they did not spare any support and benefits to increase the number of awakened people.
So, rather than preventing the awakened from gaining wealth and fame, they actually encouraged it. If there are more aspirants, the pool will expand and more talents will grow to protect the Republic of Korea.
Can I appear on broadcasts often? If you have the power, you can kill the villain. Broadcasting isn’t really my thing.
I have to suggest this to Cheon Myeong-guk to encourage villain hunting.
“What Junho needs is that expert. “We need an expert who can increase the number of people who understand and support Junho so that people can recognize him as a just hunter.”
“It’s something I never thought about.”
I thought I just had to become a civil servant hunter and catch villains and monsters.
I feel like a world I don’t know about is opening up.
“Can’t the Holy Guild give it to me?”
Lee Se-hee shook her head.
“After all, those people are also members of the Holy Guild. I need someone to analyze Junho’s image by thinking only about it. “We need to form the so-called Choi Jun-ho team.”
It’s Choi Jun-ho’s team, so if I go by my nickname, it’s Head Breaker team? This seems a bit out of the ordinary, so it would be better to go with Choi Jun-ho’s team.
“If you don’t mind, let me get to know the person.”
“Can I ask you a favor?”
“sure. This is for Junho. “I’ll do my best to find out.”
Lee Se-hee smiled confidently.
I can believe it.

Investigating Busan Mayor Yoo Seong-su was the recently revived Central Investigation Department of the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office.
Actually, I didn’t care who did the research.
This is because I believe that all that needs to be done is to conduct data research properly.
However, Lee Jong-kyung, head of the Central Investigation Department, contacted me. It said that there was something to be told about the results of the investigation.
Is there any reason to tell me?
Even though I felt puzzled, I headed to where the Central Investigation Department was located.
I met with Lee Jong-kyung in the manager’s office.
“Thank you for coming. “In fact, I was very worried that he might not come.”
“Why did you call me?”
“I called Choi Jun-ho because I thought it would be a good idea to show him the results of the investigation first.”
“······.”
My first impression of Lee Jong-kyung was reminiscent of Wang Ju-yeol. A face with a generous body and a greedy look. The two narrowed eyes were shining cunningly.
I stared at Lee Jong-kyung, took the document, and began to look at its contents.
As soon as I read the first page, my gut hit me loudly. The charges were reduced compared to what the president had handed over, and the names of the people involved were omitted.
You played around with this document.
“It looks like there are some gaps in the document.”
“Haha, it’s not that it’s lacking, I just excluded all the ambiguous parts.”
“I guess the business is related to this.”
“The existence of a superhuman is amazing. “No, is it possible because Choi Jun-ho is a superhuman?”
Lee Jong-kyung moistened his lips with his tongue and his eyes lit up.
“The Blue House’s will is strong, but if things continue like this, the country could be divided in two.”
“······.”
“How about cutting it along a good and good line? This is also for Choi Jun-ho’s sake. “There’s no benefit in needlessly increasing the number of enemies, right?”
This is why you called me.
In the middle, I’m trying to decide the part of killing from my own line.
Since I wasn’t saying anything, he kept talking.
“It is not good to be more confrontational than necessary. Of course, I’m not just asking you to do it. “Busan is also preparing sufficient cases.”
“What case?”
“There are many.”
Just by looking at it, it doesn’t seem legal.
Meanwhile, Lee Jong-kyung’s bullshit continued.
“The regime may be extended, but it may also change if a major accident occurs. “With that in mind, wouldn’t it be better to line up both sides?”
“······.”
“Haha, I’m saying this because I’m thinking of Junho Choi, a superhuman. “Please don’t listen too carefully.”
“Is there anything I feel sorry for someone who will die soon?”
“what?”
Wow!
The wooden table between us broke under my kick. The moment the powerful kick hit Lee Jong-kyung’s shin, it broke like a piece of corn.
“Aaaah!”
“shut up.”
I grabbed the head of the guy who was about to fall and grabbed his left shoulder. As the mine digs, it crackles! My shoulders slumped with a sound.
“Keuheu!”
I came out of the manager’s office while holding the guy’s head. Personnel working at the Central Investigation Department appeared one by one in the hallway as if they had heard the screams.
They looked shocked when they saw Lee Jong-kyung being dragged out by his head with both legs broken and his shoulder completely crushed.
“Everyone take out their smartphones and put them on the floor. “If you don’t come out, come out right away. If you don’t come out within 10 seconds, I’ll crush your head.”
