The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity Chapter 208

Episode 208

“The provocation against Japan was novel.”

This was the first thing I heard from the President after entering the Blue House.

I felt perplexed.

“A provocation?”

[Did you think I wouldn’t be upset by that? It’s really amazing.]

I don’t know what you’re talking about. He said he would help if he wanted to catch Nakayama, but what made him think that?

“Wasn’t it a show-off provocation due to the recent trouble with Japan?”

“It’s not like that. And everyone’s thoughts may be different. Each person takes responsibility. “It’s not a matter for me to take the lead and complain about.”

“That is also true. “He was genuinely worried about the Prime Minister, but I thought he was twisted.”

“Still, I think he’s a person who can communicate well.”

“That is correct.”

“There are a lot of people in the world, but I think there are fewer people than you think who can communicate with each other.”

“yes. “But I’m starting to get a little excited about this, aren’t I?”

“yes?”

I couldn’t figure out what the president meant when he said that. He said with a mischievous smile.

“I was wondering if I could receive the same amount of concern from Choi Jun-ho, a superhuman, even when I am not in good health.”

“Of course I am worried. “I am also willing to bring you a great amount of healing medicine.”

“To what extent?”

“I will save whatever I can.”

Which one is good for your body? They say that special parts of monsters are good for recovering energy. Isn’t the heart of the divine beast the best among them?

[Are you kidding me?]

Oh, kidding. To tell a joke with a straight face.

The President’s expression seemed at ease as if he was satisfied with my answer. And he no longer mentioned anything related to Nakayama to me.

This is why I feel comfortable with the president now. Don’t make people uncomfortable. I know my thoughts are different from mine, but I’ve become very good at winning the favor of others while maintaining appropriate boundaries.

On the other hand, Cheon Myeong-guk seemed a bit more strict. That doesn’t mean I was uncomfortable, but I needed to learn something about the president’s soft stomach.

“It’s a secret from Director Cheon, but this incident was quite surprising.”

“What part are you talking about?”

“In order to have power, the will of the person concerned is very important. “I thought that was what Director Cheon was lacking, but I didn’t know that he would change as soon as he made up his mind.”

“Because power is good.”

“yes. “I may have become soft after coming to the Blue House and preparing for retirement.”

I felt puzzled when I saw him smiling bitterly.

“Is that wrong?”

If you’ve been working hard, wouldn’t it be nice to take a break?

[Then why don’t you take a break too?]

I have a different story. The world is big and there are a lot of people to kill. And if you don’t get rid of something that catches your eye, you’ll get hives, so it’s better to deal with it even if it’s annoying.

[Yes, you are good, you are good.]

Yongyong said something new.

“In a country like the Republic of Korea, the president has great symbolism even after his term ends, and he is a person of power in and of himself. “It’s a shame that I can’t show my thoroughness until the end.”

“I think differently.”

“huh?”

“There are not many people who can achieve this level of accomplishment. Under the same circumstances and under the same conditions, the President achieved the best results. “You worked so hard, but wouldn’t you be able to live comfortably after retirement?”

“….”

The president looked at me blankly. Then he shook his head and looked disappointed.

“…I heard a lot of very unexpected things today. “I’m still dazed.”

“Is that so.”

“No one told me I could rest in peace. “You hear the most unexpected things from the most unexpected people.”

“Everyone has a burning time. “I think it’s too much to ask the President to burn it down any further.”

Old Franz is very energetic, but as he is old, he has retired and is living a leisurely life, and there is no reason why the President cannot do the same.

And unlike the Awakened, there are enough people to replace them in the political field.

The President created a great replacement named Cheon Myeong-guk, and he is still growing rapidly. Then you deserve a break.

The President expressed his gratitude with a more relaxed expression.

“Thank you. “I never thought I would receive this kind of comfort.”

“It’s no big deal.”

“After hearing this, there is one thing that makes me curious.”

“What is it?”

“When was the time when you burned the most?”

“Me? I haven’t burned it yet. “Why are you doing this?”

After hearing my words, the President’s expression turned white and he was breaking into a cold sweat.

“Shall I call my doctor?”

“No, I was feeling unwell for a moment. “Don’t worry, it’s just a chill that will go away quickly.”

“Oh my.”

I guess my condition is bad because I’m overworked. I was making things difficult by holding on to him for no reason.

[You really don’t know why the president reacts like that?]

If you knew, why don’t you answer?

[Everyone knows except you, right?]

Shinsu, a young boy who just came into the human world, pretends to know.

Yongyong never told me.

* * *

My invitation to Japan was rejected.

Even when I went there not long ago, he made an effort to catch me, but his attitude changed.

Meanwhile, the media was still talking about my relationship with Nakayama.

“This is a ploy to tarnish the image of a superhuman.”

Jin Se-jeong spoke to me with a confident expression.

“Does something like that cause scratches?”

“A trustworthy person will trust what they say. “You hear only what you want to see, and you only capture what you want to see.”

“It’s impossible to change people’s thoughts.”

People’s thoughts do not change easily.

It’s easier to just smash your head.

“We are moving with that intention, but it won’t be easy.”

“is it so?”

“Yes, Choin, you tend to respond proactively and often give interviews that penetrate to the essence. “The intention to stimulate the imagination by twisting it in a complicated way runs aground there.”

I’ve never really thought about or said anything like that.

Well, that’s up to your interpretation.

I calmly replied that I had the same intention.

“In the future, this type of slander against superhumans will only get worse.”

“Do they have multiple heads?”

“Just one. But people are good at forgetting and ignoring things that don’t belong to them. “That’s why there are people who keep doing foolish things in front of the Adept.”

It is said that the reason why similar types of people appear are that they are indifferent to anything that is not their job and that they think they are special.

I think I’m smart, but I feel stupid.

“I think if we keep dealing with it, it won’t show up at some point.”

“I wish so.”

“Is there anything you are worried about?”

“The ruling party will be dealt a huge blow by this special investigation.”

“I think the same thing.”

“Then the opposition party will be shocked. And here, I only watched from the sidelines as Superhuman was scared.”

“You’re saying you haven’t experienced it yourself.”

“Yes, that’s why I can make mistakes.”

Now that I think about it, that statement is not wrong. When I think of the people I’ve killed over the years, the ones who died while foolishly acting out were overwhelmingly more highly educated and wealthy and famous than the uneducated villains.

The structure was that they had their own sense of privilege, believed in it, and then got hooked.

There is no law preventing the opposition party from doing that.

“You can deal with it when the time comes.”

“yes.”

Although I have been impressed by political maneuvering these days, the most foolish thing in the world was believing in political maneuvering and mistakenly believing that the opponent would not directly use force.

After visiting the Blue House, I received calls from many places. This is all because of what Nakayama did.

Even when I stopped by the house, Yoon-hee, who was watching a drama, looked at me and clicked her tongue, asking if I had now extended my hold on Japan.

“Would I have done it?”

“That’s enough.”

“Now I trust the Japanese reporter more than my own brother.”

“At least when it comes to stories about someone getting injured or dying, my brother is the least trustworthy.”

Yoonhee, she had not even considered the possibility that I was not involved.

It’s unfair, but it’s also true, so I don’t have anything to say to refute it.

Maybe this guy has unexpected eyes?

Even while talking to me, he showed off his skills by playing different dramas on all four 75-inch TVs. They say humans are creatures of adaptation, but it was amazing.

[You said to yourself earlier that you can train your moving vision with that?]

Will that work?

[I don’t know, so I said it was okay. If you don’t want to hear it, cover your ears.]

Yongyong is getting more and more harsh, and it’s really annoying.

I clicked my tongue and went out to the playground of the apartment complex and called the poor guy who had been following me earlier and was waiting in front of my house.

“Are you here to apologize?”

Nakayama appeared in front of me. Just looking at this guy, it looks like he doesn’t listen to what others say. The guy looked at me with wide eyes and said.

“What do I have to apologize for?”

“Are you planning to just bother me and then get over it?”

“I guess it was my fault. “I never thought about it.”

…Should we give it a blow and hand it over to Japan?

Do you think this will dispel all doubts about me? Just hit it?

While I was thinking seriously for a moment, he said that the information I had given him was true and expressed his gratitude in a voice that was not grateful at all.

“So I will go to the international mercenary group.”

“You’re not going to the league?”

“If I go and meet you, will you save me?”

“No way.”

“As someone who almost died several times, I know that life is precious. “I want to become a mercenary because I don’t want to be against you.”

This guy has a good sense of smell when it comes to survival. International mercenaries are recognized around the world and are evaluated as a trustworthy organization that intervenes in various conflicts or helps hunt monsters.

With one superhuman joining, the status of the international mercenary group will increase a little.

“So you came all the way here to report that?”

“no. “You helped save my life, so I’m here to give you useful information.”

“Useful information? To me?”

“okay.”

I didn’t have any faith, but Nakayama’s voice was full of confidence.

I’m starting to get a little excited about this.

“Do you know that relations between Japan and Korea became turbulent not long ago?”

“know.”

There was a time when Japan suddenly started a fight over Dokdo and it was all over the news.

Now that I think about it, Jeong Da-hyeon also said that he detected some strange air current on Dokdo. What is there?

Nakayama drove a wedge here.

“The remains of the Divine Beast are there.”

“…!”

[What?]

Honestly, I was surprised by this. Yongyong, who was next to him, was so shocked that he could not see his tail.

The remains of Shinsoo on Dokdo? This represents the essence of the divine beast.

Nakayama looked satisfied with my reaction and continued speaking.

“To be precise, it is the remains of a divine tree, but it is not the remains of a divine tree.”

“Are you trying to play with me now?”

“No, it’s because it’s real. “The remains of a divine tree refer to the sacred tree, but the only difference is that this is the artificially created remains of a divine tree.”

“made?”

Nakayama began to explain the remains of the artificial Shinsoo.

To briefly summarize, the Japanese government accidentally succeeded in obtaining a by-product of a divine beast and implemented a project to fuse it with the heart of a plus-level monster.

The result is half success. The remnants of a divine beast that condensed tremendous power were created, but it caused unexpected side effects.

“What side effects?”

“The monsters gathered together, drawn by the power.”

[No wonder it smells delicious!]

The panicked government tried to seal the remains of the artificial divine beast and move the research laboratory to continue research.

The problem was that it was lost by a monster during transportation.

“And while the monster was running away, it could not withstand the surge of power and exploded to death, and the remains of the divine beast sank into the sea?”

“As far as I know, yes.”

I didn’t believe it because I hadn’t seen it in person.

“I think it would be like this if it were me.”

“What do you mean?”

“Even if it was sealed, it is unlikely that it would have been completely sealed, and since monsters are constantly entangled, wouldn’t the Japanese government have thought of this? “I said, ‘I’ve become stronger these days and we’re friends, but it’ll be difficult if I get stronger, so let’s give Korea a big treat this time.’”

“It’s speculation!”

“I was just making a hypothesis.”

[Are you going to write a novel now?]

I think Yongyong was more attracted to the latter than the former. In fact, if there is a malicious intent to ruin the other person, what I think is more likely.

“By saying that, do you mean that you want me to take it back?”

“okay. “Now behind the scenes, the government is working hard to recover it.”

It’s an interesting story.

As I had seen the essence of Shinsoo on Mt. Hallasan, I wanted to see how well he could imitate it.

and.

If I say I won’t go, I think Yongyong will be very upset about going.

[Isn’t it true?] Even

if you pretend not to, you know it won’t work.

“Interesting information. “I’ll look into it soon.”

“I’m satisfied with that.”

“You gave me this much information, so I think I should repay you. “I’ll give you a gift.”

“A gift? I gratefully accept it.”
