The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity - Chapter 9

Episode 9

“······.”

Dahyun Jeong arrived in front of a high-end Korean restaurant and nodded softly.

The sense of discomfort I felt upon seeing Choi Jun-ho was not wrong. This is the place I followed and arrived at, thinking that something might happen.

I know that he had an unfavorable view of Wang Ju-yeol from the first day he joined the company. Wang Ju-yeol’s name came up in a drug gang, and although it didn’t spread much, there were several clashes.

Above all, Wang Ju-yeol has been arguing about everything, so it would be strange if he had good feelings.

“Still, it’s reckless.”

Wang Ju-yeol is a civil servant hunter tainted by corruption, but he is a person with one well-known connection. He had important connections among civil servant hunters and also had a strong relationship with large guilds of large corporations.

He cannot be voted out because of a few small corruptions in his name recorded in the ledger.

That’s why Jung Joo-ho didn’t like it and couldn’t put his hands on it hastily.

He also thought that he would have to catch Wang Ju-yeol at some point, but at least not now.

“Shall we go in?”

Jeong Da-hyeon hesitated while hiding awkwardly. You don’t have to worry about it because he followed you on his own terms, but it was Choi Jun-ho who took action and no one else.

She had a high opinion of the new assistant commander. Looking at his appearance, he is a handsome 25-year-old young man, but his content is level 7.

I still wonder how he reached level 7 at such a young age, but apart from that, he works seriously and hard at his job as a civil servant hunter.

Also, it would be a lie if you don’t like the fact that they recognize the villain as a social evil that must be eliminated and do their best to arrest him.

Although Sonsok was so cruel that even the villains shook their heads, these days I thought that it might help curb the villains’ crimes.

It is difficult to imagine how many people would have suffered without Choi Jun-ho’s quick judgment and bold actions.

As I was pondering over whether to intervene, I came to my senses when my smartphone vibrated.

It was a call from Choi Jun-ho.

-We caught Wang Ju-yeol.

“······yes.”

-Please contact the director. After that, I want you to come inside.

With that, the call ended.

“ha!”

It was as if he knew he would be followed. No, it would have been arrogant to think that Choi Jun-ho, who was level 7, would not have noticed what he was doing in the first place.

After immediately contacting Joo-ho Jeong, Da-hyun Jeong entered the Korean restaurant. It wasn’t difficult to know which room Choi Jun-ho was in.

“······.”

In the hallway, people in suits were lying down with broken limbs. As we went inside along the way, we could see four people, including Wang Ju-yeol, with broken limbs.

“These are back alley guild masters.”

“Are there any injuries?”

“doesn’t exist.”

“But it was dangerous this time.”

“When the opportunity came, I took it. “It would have been difficult to catch it if it wasn’t now.”

It was difficult to sympathize with Choi Jun-ho’s expressionless words at all.

I guess I would have attacked and captured him anyway when I felt like it, right?

“Please use the restorative medicine before people come. “I feel like I’m going to die if I don’t.”

“What about Junho?”

“I shared it with three people here.”

“Oh, you already wrote it.”

Still, it didn’t seem strange even if he died immediately.

How rough was it?

Jeong Da-hyeon put the bottle of recovery medicine in Wang Ju-yeol’s mouth.

No matter how corrupt the civil servant hunter is, he is a level 6 skilled person, so they treat him so cruelly.

“thank you.”

“Did you know I would be following you?”

“I thought I couldn’t fool Dahyun’s intuition.”

“What if I didn’t come?”

“I believed it would come.”

“The real Junho is a difficult person to understand.”

It felt like he was praising my gift, but at the same time, I felt like I was playing into my hands.

The problem wasn’t that I felt bad. It shouldn’t be like this. I wanted to show my dignity as a gunner, but at some point I felt like I was being dragged along.

“Team Leader Wang… is not a soft person.”

“I know because I’ve heard it a few times.”

“There has to be clear evidence to tie him up. Is there any evidence? yes? Surely not?”

Jeong Da-hyeon’s expression suddenly changed after seeing Choi Jun-ho’s ambiguous expression.

“Junho, you didn’t do this just out of curiosity, right?”

Rather, it seemed like people around him were more worried.

In fact, the person involved was calm.

“That’s all I showed you last time.”

“Really?”

“yes.”

“···ah!”

Jeong Da-hyun closed her eyes tightly due to the dizzying feeling of dizziness.

After a while, Joo-ho Jeong arrived at the Korean restaurant with his direct subordinates.

He frowned when he saw the scene in the room.

“…You did it very splendidly.”

Jung Joo-ho clicked his tongue and looked at Choi Jun-ho and said.

“If you don’t catch it clearly, you will be caught. “Take everyone.”

He gave orders straight away, as if he wasn’t expecting an answer.

* * *

Wang Ju-yeol, who was arrested as a member of the National Protectorate, woke up the next day and started rioting.

Being good at political maneuvering means being quick-witted. Realizing that the situation he was in was unusual, he denied all charges and invoked the Miranda principle.

“Release it now! Do you think you will be okay after doing this? Director! “You know what it means to lock up an innocent day like this!”

“···It’s a pain in the ass.”

Jeong Joo-ho, who expected this trend, shook his head. The experienced Wang Ju-yeol will do whatever it takes to defend himself and will not reveal any gaps.

“······.”

Dahyun Jeong, who was standing next to him, pressed her temples with her hands. My complexion was a bit pale because I had suffered through the night.

If Choi Jun-ho had been even a little captivated by that beauty, this accident wouldn’t have happened.

Jeong Joo-ho clicked his tongue, thinking that being infatuated with a woman is a problem, but ignoring it as nothing is also a problem.

“What does Choi Jun-ho say?”

“Wang Ju-yeol’s crime is certain…”

“Even if the crime is certain, there must be evidence. Even the crime has no meaning unless it is a definite number. “No, in this situation, unless you confess, it would be difficult, right?”

Jeong Joo-ho thought that Choi Jun-ho showed his bravery typical of a rookie. So, I tried to handle it on my own, but the current situation is that there is no suitable way.

“I’ll talk to you.”

“Is there a way?”

“I’m going to put pressure on it with the ledger.”

“It won’t be easy.”

Dahyun Jeong entered the interrogation room with a determined expression.

* * *

Two days after the arrest of Wang Ju-yeol.

It was the moment when I realized that although the world of the awakened seemed to be scattered like grains of sand, it was a narrow world.

The arrest of Wang Ju-yeol, the second-in-command of the National Security Bureau and in charge of the special team, became a hot topic. It seemed like a big shock to be arrested by a subordinate.

In particular, Yoon-hee gritted her teeth at reporter Go Ye-jin when she sent a link to an article titled, “How far does civil servant Hunter’s promiscuous discipline go?”

Anyway, the point of shock was different for each person, but the National Security Bureau said they were very shocked that I had overpowered Wang Ju-yeol and dragged him away.

Because externally, my level was 5 and Wang Ju-yeol’s was 6. There were not many cases where a lower level captured a higher level, and especially at levels 5 and above, which can be considered high levels, such cases rarely occurred because level was equal to combat power.

Perhaps that’s why we received a flood of contacts from various guilds. They called me teacher, even though I had never met them, and made all kinds of flattery.

There was so much contact that everyday life became inconvenient.

But I’ve never posted my contact information anywhere else, so how do you know? For reference, the only contact information on my smartphone was my parents, Yoonhee, and Dahyun Jeong.

It seemed that my personal information was not protected.

Unlike me, who goes through the hassle of everyday life, Jeong Da-hyun’s face was dull and tired.

When asked why, he answered in a weak voice.

“Interrogating Team Leader Wang is not easy. “You will be released after tomorrow.”

Since Wang Ju-yeol’s arrest was not a normal process in the first place, Jeong Ju-ho, as the head of the National Security Bureau, can be detained for 72 hours, but if he fails to achieve results within that time, he will be released.

“Have you been interrogated?”

“I tried it, but they stubbornly deny it. He also mentioned the existence of the ledger, but he said he had nothing to do with it and that it was all fabricated…”

“You can’t even rob your surroundings?”

“For now, I am only suspected of being suspected. “It’s impossible if we don’t prove it.”

And then he looks at me with resentful eyes. It was similar to Yunhee, who was complaining to me.

“That’s why I said to be cautious.”

“I don’t have much time left, so may I step forward?”

“The director also said he would allow it because he couldn’t do it anymore.”

For reference, until a little while ago, Jeong Joo-ho was blocking the interrogation of Wang Ju-yeol.

“Violence is not allowed during interrogation. “In fact, you may be counterattacked.”

“Isn’t it enough to make a statement voluntarily? “I have a way.”

“Yes, but coercive measures cannot be used.”

“Not even that. “It just has some side effects.”

“Then I will report it to the director.”

“yes.”

After a while, Jeong Joo-ho gave permission and I headed to the interrogation room.

Outside, Jeong Joo-ho and Jeong Da-hyeon were standing, and Jeong Da-hyun in particular asked me not to do anything that would get me caught.

No violence, no use of drugs, no use of coercion, etc. Ultimately, this meant that recognition had to be induced with solid evidence or a confession had to be obtained.

To be honest, I didn’t quite understand it. As long as it’s clear that Wang Ju-yeol is a stinking bastard, it would be enough to just kick him out. In this respect, it was a frustratingly inefficient organization.

“I heard you haven’t confessed yet?”

“You bastard! “I will kill you!”

When I came in, Wang Ju-yeol went crazy while being restrained. I sat across from him and just watched him quietly.

Wang Ju-yeol, who had been in a frenzy for about 10 minutes, took a deep breath as if he was exhausted. But his eyes were full of murder, as if he was going to rip me to pieces and kill me.

“Whoop!” Phew! You can look forward to it when you go out tomorrow. “I will kill you by any means necessary.”

“So.”

There’s no way I’m going to get out of here anyway.

After confirming that he had no intention of confessing, I stood up. And when he got closer, he got scared and screamed.

“Don’t come any closer! Director Jeong! This guy is trying to use violence! “Don’t let them get to me!”

“It’s not violence. “Just forget about your worries and be happy from now on.”

I reached out my hand towards the guy who was desperately shaking his head. The head came into my grasp and as soon as I used the gift, the eyes went blank and the struggle stopped.

At that time, Jeong Joo-ho and Jeong Da-hyeon, who had been watching from outside, came inside.

“Choi Junho! “What are you doing?”

“I was prepared to receive a statement.”

“What on earth are you doing…?”

I ignored Jeong Joo-ho’s words and asked Wang Ju-yeol a question.

“Tell me about yourself.”

“Wang Ju-yeol. He is 54 years old. “I currently live in Daechi 2-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul…”

I began to reveal my information in detail, even down to unnecessary details.

As Jeong Joo-ho and Jeong Da-hyeon expressed their shock, I asked the next question.

“Why did you meet the guild masters two days ago?”

“These guys are in charge of distributing drugs. So, I planned to comfort him appropriately and get rid of Choi Jun-ho, who runs wild like a thunderbolt. Then, Dahyun Jeong will become quiet and we can rebuild the organization again.”

“Tell me all the corruption you committed.”

From then on, Wang Ju-yeol started talking about the corruption he had committed for decades. He thoroughly made accomplices, shared the profits, secured evidence, and created a community of destiny. And he persistently exploited those who had weaknesses, taking care not to reveal his existence.

The crimes committed by Wang Ju-yeol were endless, starting with drug trafficking, human trafficking, illegal distribution of drug materials, and collusion with criminal organizations.

“···Go to the place that Jeong Da-hyun said and look for evidence.”

Even after Jeong Da-hyun left, Wang Ju-yeol’s confession continued. An hour later, when Jeong Da-hyeon came with evidence, Jeong Joo-ho’s face was filled with despair.

“What are the side effects of this?”

“There are no particular side effects. “I’m just going to have to think a little younger in the future.”

“Young accident? how old?”

“About 5 years old.”

“What is the name of this ability?”

“It’s called brainwashing.”

“······.”

I didn’t use this gift as much as the guy who had it. He worked hard for a long time to create fanatics through his eloquent speech and creating a group environment, but I can’t do that.

Now that I think about it, I will start building my power in earnest in a few years, so I should visit when I have time.

“Pandora’s box has been opened. “Whoa, Dahyun, contact the Holy Guild.”

Jeong Joo-ho let out a long sigh.

* * *

After that, things went smoothly.

Based on Wang Ju-yeol’s testimony, evidence was secured and the related criminal guild was wiped out.

The biggest problem was the connection with the sacred guild that Wang Ju-yeol confessed to.

Although the crime was committed by a subcontractor with investment from a subsidiary, the mere mention of the name Shinsung Guild created strong buzz.

Shinsung Guild is a guild created by Shinsung Group, the number one business group in Korea, and is the largest in Korea. The National Protectorate’s move may stimulate them more than necessary.

However, there can be no exceptions to crime.

Joo-ho Jeong took this situation seriously and requested the attendance of the relevant people, and the Shinsung Guild accepted the request for attendance, apologizing for their negligence in managing the guild under their command.

A few days later, a Holy Guild official visited the National Protection Bureau. They had a meeting with Jung Joo-ho for a long time, and the results started coming out in articles before it was over.

I don’t know if it was negligent management or cutting corners, but the main message was that an apology would be made and that those involved would be properly managed rather than reprimanded.

Lastly, as an apology, they decided to support the National Defense Bureau. This was probably what Jung Joo-ho was aiming for.

After a while, the door to the director’s office opened and the person who was meeting with Jeong Joo-ho approached me.

Even if you tried not to be seen, you couldn’t help but be seen because he came across the special team so blatantly.

“Hello, are you Junho Choi?”

Standing before me was a dizzyingly beautiful woman.

The gorgeous decorations, confident smile, fatal charm and noble elegance were felt.

When our eyes meet, the haughty eyes draw a soft arc.

“My name is Lee Se-hee of the Sacred Guild.”
