The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity

Episode 212

“….”

There was silence for a moment. Neither the President nor Cheon Myung-guk seemed to realize the meaning of my words.

Why do you do that? Was what I said difficult? Did I explain it as it is?

“So what did you just say….”

“I gave it to you as dog food. “The dog ate it.”

“The treasure where Japan’s capabilities are concentrated?”

“Are you out of your mind now?”

The President and Cheon Myeong-guk expressed their astonishment. He couldn’t say anything more, but he was questioning me strongly with his eyes.

“Oh, actually, the result was crude. “I tried to imitate the essence of a divine beast, but it was a form that was forcibly made from the heart of a level 8 harmful monster.”

“Still, it is a treasure of great value.”

“The dog devoured it.”

Do you roll your eyes because a guy like that has gained some strength? I forgave him for being rude in the middle, but I thought that I should set aside some time and teach him properly.

“Huh!”

The President shook his head with a dejected expression. I guess I had great expectations because I heard that Japan’s capabilities were concentrated. No, maybe I regret it? It seems convenient to just think that Japan’s capabilities actually fell short of expectations.

“however.”

“yes.”

“How do you know that it is crude compared to the essence of a divine beast?”

Cheon Myeong-guk stabbed a sharp point. Now that I think about it, it’s a secret that I know so much about the essence of the divine beast.

“I met Shinsu and was able to compare.”

“iced coffee.”

“That aside.”

The president started to sort things out in the middle.

“I understand what your intention is. In that case, we need to refine it a bit more.”

“Can you tell me?”

“If we just accept Japan’s demands, it could provide us with something to attack, so it should be done in the form of a joint investigation. Then we can intervene whenever we want.”

The president’s details were definitely on a different level. I was quite impressed by his ability to point out things I hadn’t thought of. After all, the presidency is not something just anyone can do.

“And know one thing.”

“Which one?”

“If you make it known to the league, the U.S. will inevitably find out.”

“I know.”

Although it is not as good as it used to be, the intelligence collection capabilities of the United States, which still claims to be a hegemon, are considerable.

I welcome the increase in bait.

Choi Jun-ho left and the President let out a long sigh and turned his head to Cheon Myeong-guk.

“How did you see it?”

“I was amazed and felt gloomy.”

“Which one?”

“I was impressed by the meticulousness of not missing a detail in an embarrassing situation, and I felt depressed that if I became president, I would have to deal directly with Choi Jun-ho for five years.”

“Hehe, five years will go by faster than you think. “Don’t worry too much.”

“….”

The President laughed, but Cheon Myeong-guk could not.

So the president couldn’t just smile.

“Do you blame me?”

“no.”

“Your political power is not yet mature. “If you answer with clenched teeth like that, won’t your true feelings be revealed?”

“I truly thought I would be able to retire.”

“I wanted to grant that wish too. But considering the future of this country, I couldn’t do that. “I can still see what the outcome would have been if we weren’t there.”

Choi Jun-ho’s indiscriminate killing party probably took place on Dokdo. The diplomatic ramifications it will create will isolate the Republic of Korea internationally.

However, Cheon Myeong-guk did not accept it gently.

“There are many talented people in this country.”

“But not many people understand Choi Jun-ho.”

“….”

That was true.

The president said soothingly.

“How about changing the direction of your thoughts?”

“What are you talking about?”

“I hope you won’t end up experiencing this pain alone.”

“yes?”

“Isn’t it too much of a waste to go through the pain that Choi Jun-ho endured alone?”

“But this suffering must end at the end….”

“Will this position disappear after you?”

“….”

“If someone has to handle it, it would be a good idea to find the right person in advance.”

Just as the President did to himself.

Cheon Myeong-guk was shocked as if his head had been hit with a blunt object.

“…That is correct.”

Cheon Myeong-guk’s eyes, which had been blurry, came into focus.

“There is a lot of time ahead, so take a look around. “The reason Korea has been able to maintain this position is because there are many outstanding people.”

“Someone has already come to mind.”

“Good.”

“flaw.”

Cheon Myeong-guk’s smile was filled with madness.

I definitely thought that the president’s political skills were sophisticated.

Not long after I left the Blue House, news spread that a Level 8 harmful monster had appeared near Dokdo, and it was announced that Korea and Japan would jointly investigate.

This caused an uproar, but political damage was minimized by announcing that this measure was taken because the monsters that appeared near Dokdo could attack Japan if necessary.

I think it’s easier to draw the picture I want because I have support from the political world.

Now that the board has been created, all that’s left is to wait for players to visit it.

The league must have smelled it too. And when they hear that it’s related to Shinsu, they’ll come rushing in. I hope to be caught in the net I have spread.

While I was waiting leisurely, I gathered people around me and treated them to lobster caught in Dokdo.

Starting with Choi Jun-ho’s team members, Lee Se-hee, Jeong Da-hyun, and even Yoon-hee, who whined and asked why he wasn’t invited, were invited. And I took a generous amount and gave it to my parents.

People couldn’t hide their admiration at the lobster party that suddenly took place in the office.

Jin Se-jeong, who said it was her first time seeing a monster, repeatedly expressed her admiration.

“Is this a level 8 harmful monster? “I heard it’s a delicacy that only the rich can eat.”

is it? I didn’t even know that because I ate as much as I wanted.

“I’ll bring it to you often from now on.”

“really?”

“Because it’s not that difficult.”

“yes! Then I will work harder for the Adept!”

Since Jin Se-jeong showed such enthusiasm, I suddenly thought that it was okay to do it in moderation.

I approached Lee Se-hee. Lee Se-hee, who was usually the epitome of elegance when eating, was now devouring lobster at a furious pace.

“It’s a shame, because if we could catch and farm lobsters that taste like this, we could dominate the restaurant industry.”

“No fuss.”

“I’m serious. “I regret not being able to keep it for long.”

The quality of meat from all monsters deteriorates rapidly as the force disappears over time, so it was best to catch it and consume it as quickly as possible.

“What do you think about hanging out with Dahyun?”

“I felt like I was lacking. When dealing with monsters, the balance is usually disturbed, but Dahyun took advantage of them well. I thought we would have narrowed the gap, but I was disappointed to see that it was still so big, but at the same time, I felt motivated. “We have to try harder.”

“It won’t be easy.”

“But I still have to do it. and! “I have Junho.”

Lee Se-hee looked at me with passionate eyes. I felt the will to grab me and roll over to my death. If you’re Lee Se-hee, you’re probably the type of person who can get away with that.

“And this time, I was impressed by Junho’s technique.”

“huh?”

“Dokdo. “It’s Junho’s work, right?”

“Ah, to be precise, the Blue House helped.”

“In the past, a collaboration like this would have been unthinkable. It is true that Junho has improved. “I can guess who will take the bait.”

Did you notice all that? I thought Lee Se-hee had a ghostly sense of humor.

“I’m just a little worried.”

“What?”

“More power may be mobilized than expected. “I don’t think it will be a big threat, but you better be careful.”

“okay.”

While listening to Lee Se-hee’s advice, I also wondered if I had dug a trap too one-dimensionally.

What if I don’t notice and don’t come?

“will come.”

“okay?”

“yes. This incident will be viewed as a conflict between Japan and Korea that occurred on Korean territory. “That’s the key.”

I had designed such a profound trap without even knowing it.

Everyone was talking to each other, and when the lobsters were on the floor, Berserker got up and said to me.

“I think we need to sort out the rankings.”

“with me?”

Did you get drunk without even drinking?

Berserker shook his head and pointed to one side.

“I’m talking about that guy.”

There was a dog sitting there.

“After visiting Dokdo, the way they looked at me was very disrespectful.”

“Oh, that.”

As the dog gets stronger, it looks like he wants to challenge Berserker. I thought it might be a little early, but I thought it would be quite fun at this level.

“try. “I can’t interfere with the ranking war.”

“That’s good news.”

The lobster party ended in an instant and a confrontation between Berserker and Doggy was created.

Yunhee approached me and said, looking at the battle site with excited eyes.

“The battle of nerves over who is first in the rankings is fierce.”

“what are you talking about?”

“Aren’t we competing for the position of oppa’s subordinate number one? “It seems like that to me.”

What does that mean?

“My brother is indifferent and doesn’t know much. But each thing has meaning to different people.”

“okay?”

“huh. “That’s it.”

I focused my attention on the battle between Berserker and the dog. The battle between Doggy, who cannot fully control his own strength yet, but pushes with his overwhelming force and physical strength, and Berserker, who is highly skilled, was enjoyable to watch.

“So, are you on the dog’s side?”

“That’s true, but…”

“Why are you slurring your words?”

“It’s a bit awkward because the cuteness it used to have is gone. “No, I’m scared.”

Is there such a sudden change in attitude?

“If the dog hears it, he’ll be upset.”

“ah! “Don’t tell the doggo!”

“You don’t want to talk?”

“of course! “Do you know what you’re talking about?”

You’re quick-witted.

There was nothing more to say, so I focused my attention on the confrontation.

They say it’s a ranking battle between subordinates, and it’s quite interesting.

I guess this is a fight between small fish.

The Japanese side was caught in a dilemma due to the Blue House’s announcement.

Although the announcement was made to avoid political burden, it ultimately meant acknowledging that there was something near Dokdo, and those who were sensing abnormal air currents realized that there was something special about Dokdo.

News spread that the League had dispatched a unit for observation, and news that other countries were showing interest was also delivered one after another.

Meanwhile, the United States also showed interest. Still thinking of themselves as a world hegemony, they took the form of sending personnel directly to persuade the government rather than observing without government permission.

Leading the diplomatic corps was Zolaman.

“Jun Ho! It’s been a long time! how have you been doing?”

“You seem to be doing well.”

“I’m doing well! “I love America!”

James Reed approached me with a bright smile and open arms. When I frowned and stretched out my hand, the guy got scared and backed away. How dare this big, bulky guy try to hug me?

“Oh, why are you refusing?”

“Would you accept it?”

“I’m so sorry!”

He made an openly sad expression, but there was no reason for me to react.

It’s rather disgusting that he’s a big, sloppy white guy.

“Tell me why you came.”

“I came because of what happened in Dokdo this time!”

“Are you coveting it too?”

“huh. “Is Junho not interested?”

“doesn’t exist.”

I had already checked the real thing and there was nothing more.

James Reed, who misinterpreted my reaction, said with a lump in his neck.

“It’s a product where Japan’s research capabilities are concentrated! Let us move together! “If I secure this, I am willing to share the results with Korea!”

“I don’t think Japan will just give it to me. “There is talk that the league will also come.”

“We can overwhelm them all! All you have to do is put us in the joint investigation.”

In the end, I got what I wanted.

It was something the U.S. also wanted to step into.

“Can we stop the league kids from coming?”

“Just find it quickly and jump out!”

Who taught this guy Korean?

When I think about it, I don’t think there’s anything to lose.

“try.”

“really?”

“uh.”

The more bait there is to attract the rig, the better.

If they also covet the essence of the artificial divine beast, they will mobilize more power to come.

“Take this.”

“What is this?”

“charm.”

“okay.”

James Reed took the ring I gave him without much thought.
