Chapter 251
Episode 251
Choi Jun-ho’s father, Choi Jin-gyu, knows that his son’s status is great.
Much more than you thought.
When he was young, my son was an ordinary boy with nothing special about him. Choi Jin-gyu, who worked as an orchardist in Cheongju, wanted his son to be happy rather than to become the best.
However, he seemed to feel even that as pressure. As I watched my son fail to become an awakened man again and again, I thought it would be best for him as a father to show his patience in silence.
But everything changed overnight.
The son, who thought he would just mind his own business, suddenly became a superman and soon became known as the world’s strongest.
“It’s still hard to believe.”
One day, I suddenly became obsessed with soybean paste stew and the person itself changed.
I know how much meaning this word, which sounds infinitely childish, carries.
However, I learned that my son’s behavior made many enemies. No matter how rare superhumans are and how powerful they are, humans are social animals.
Choi Jin-gyu went out of his way to help his son.
It may seem like he is putting his trust in his son, but there were also people with vested interests who tried to find stability through their own existence.
Among them, there were some who tried to somehow meet Choi Jun-ho and get noticed, but it was good.
Because I thought I could control it properly.
However, Hyun Young-mi, the suddenly emerged opposition presidential candidate, has gone far beyond that limit.
Thinking that it wasn’t my intention to handle it, I chose to call my son and take care of it.
The result was an unyielding collision and Hyun Young-mi’s endless fall.
“Is it this much?”
I knew it was great, but.
Choi Jin-gyu felt a shiver as he watched the opposition party fall into self-destruction just because they clashed with his son.
There are certainly people who criticize my son. However, what they criticized was excessive handholding and disregard for the law, but they sympathized more than anyone else about the benefits that their son would bring.
The result is this.
Hyun Young-mi’s approval rating, which had been approaching 40% as she was building momentum as if she would achieve a regime change immediately after the primary, collapsed to below 30% and fell to the mid-20% range.
As the theory of regime change, which had soared to almost half, became similar to the candidate’s approval rating, there was an uproar within the opposition party.
Approval ratings are decreasing day by day, with opinions ranging from the need to actively support the candidate’s opinions to the need to replace the candidate even now.
Here are other primary candidates who seem to be disobeying the primary.
The internal noise will inevitably lead to a plunge in approval ratings.
“I need to move so that no more sounds come out.”
Choi Jin-gyu watched the situation and poured fuel on the opposition party to become more active.
Since they have to solve their own problems, they can’t even dare to mess with their son.
That’s the best he can do for his son.
“I must do better.”

When Choi Jun-ho and Hyun Young-mi met and the general information about the atmosphere of the meeting that day became known, the Internet was turned upside down.
-What kind of guts did you have to go meet Choi Jun-ho? Did you think Choi Jun-ho would forgive you if you committed as much as you could and said, ‘Ah, my mistake!’?
-I must admit that you had the guts to meet Choi Jun-ho with your bare body.
-Youngmi Choo is wise. Did you think you would be able to deal with Choi Jun-ho if you did that? Haha
– You have the guts to approach a super-human who openly says he is allergic to bullshit as if they were having a secret meeting;;
-Still, Choi Jun-ho has improved a lot. You didn’t kill him.
-So you came back alive? This is a huge achievement. agreed;
At first it was full of sarcastic comments, but as opposition party supporters joined in, the number of concerned comments began to increase.
-Still, since he is the opposition party’s presidential candidate, shouldn’t Choi Jun-ho be treated to some degree?
-I went to see him after admitting his mistake, but what if he was treated that way?
-Do you think the ruling party will remain in power forever?
-Hyun Young-mi is a person who can communicate well even though she is hard-lined, but Choi Jun-ho also seems to need some compromise.
-This meeting will also have a toxic effect on Choi Jun-ho. However, in order for Hyun Young-mi to become president, she must show that she is a big person who can embrace Choi Jun-ho.
In the process, as criticism of Choi Jun-ho arose, ridiculing comments immediately increased.
-There is no one who doesn’t know that Hyun Young-mi is a jerk for the conversation to get through.
-Admit your mistake? There are one or two videos of people yelling at the National Assembly without acknowledging their mistakes.
Can’t you see the approval rating falling? Don’t you still know that this is how Hyun Young-mi ended up hitting the ball?
-The only person who suffers from the meeting between Choi Jun-ho and Hyun Young-mi is Hyun Young-mi.
-Choi Jun-ho can choose the president if he wants to, but it is at the level of threats.
The result was a collapse in the approval ratings of Hyun Young-mi and the opposition party.
The opposition party as well as its supporters could not hide their astonishment at the power Choi Jun-ho possessed.
The details were not revealed and they only said that the results of the meeting were not good?
And soon, a comment that penetrated all of these phenomena rose to the top with full support.
-You know what? Now, we can talk about politics leisurely on the Internet, but other countries are continuously coming out with breaking news about plus-plus level monsters that have appeared in Romania. Romania is appealing to the world for support. Plus Plus level monsters are monsters that can bring about the end of the world. Who is it that makes it possible for us to leisurely tap on the keyboard even after such a monster appears? Monsters are becoming stronger every day, and the value of strong superhumans is increasing. If you don’t know who this is thanks to and are misled by it, you may lose something precious later when you face an urgent situation.
* * *
A two-horned monster has appeared in Europe. This monster that appeared in Romania was notorious for destroying the world and showed off its overwhelming power by wiping out a city in one day.
The appearance of the two-horned monster has put neighboring Balkan Peninsula countries as well as Eastern European countries in an emergency.
No, not only there, but all over Europe, superhumans are gathering strength.
From the rumors I heard, I know that he is comparable to the Heavenly Demon Armor. The Heavenly Demon Armor was created artificially. How did this guy appear so early?
Franz said it was showing signs of spontaneous growth, but I’m not a fool and I can’t believe that.
“…It definitely seems artificial.”
I still didn’t understand why two-horned monsters appeared in Europe.
I knew that in China, two-horned monsters could appear through living organisms or artificial taming of monsters.
However, Europe is not a single country system and is not large enough to concentrate resources in one place like China.
So, I thought that the appearance of a two-horned monster would be something in the distant future.
“Even when I think about it again, I still don’t understand.”
They say the butterfly effect occurred because of me, but will it spread to the appearance of a two-horned monster?
Even if I were to say that I had an influence, it was only through working here in Korea and occasionally visiting neighboring countries.
Rather, it seemed more credible to say that they gathered material and human resources from Europe to create the two-horned monster after seeing the Heavenly Demon Armor.
Anyway, since the two-horned monster appeared in Europe, I thought there would be news from Europe sooner or later.
Because it is not a single national system, it is famous for slow decision-making.
However, Yongyong arrived before the news from Europe.
[I’m here.]
Yongyong suddenly appeared and acted as usual. Since I returned later than usual, I wondered if something was wrong.
“Did you have a good talk?”
[huh. I had a little more to say, but I detected a monster. Isn’t he the guy you decided to deal with?]
“Huh.”
However, there seemed to be no sign of calling yet.
Yongyong’s expression towards me became serious. What’s going on?
“What did you talk about with Hyuna?”
[Nothing much happened.]
Even with all that said, the time to return is very late.
[Uh hmm.]
Yongyong didn’t answer easily and just wandered around, probably because he was pressured by my gaze asking him to talk more. Then, I confessed obediently.
[You said you wanted to hunt thunderbirds. Do you really have to do that?]
“Why do you say that all of a sudden?”
[I think it’s possible to talk to a thunderbird. But it seems like all you have in mind is getting rid of it. I want you to change your mind. There is a chance that everyone will get along well.]
Just looking at it, the angles appear. Yongyong doesn’t like my plan to deal with Thunderbird, and Hyuna seems to support my choice.
Or not.
Yongyong thinks it’s possible, but that’s okay. It was clear that the Thunderbird would tackle everything I wanted to do from now on.
More than anything.
I wanted to see if my power would work on Shinsu.
But we can’t test this on Yongyong or Hyuna.
“Let’s talk about that again later.”
[okay. I hope you change your mind even now.]
Well, Yongyong has been with me for a long time, so I guess he thought I would be persuaded.
I have no intention of changing anything.
“So what about the marlin?”
[You guessed it right. They say humans invaded the territory and kidnapped the cub. He got angry and rushed at it.]
However, Yongyong said that when he kidnapped the cub, he captured it alive and took it with him.
Then the League may have secured a living monster.
Could this be a regret?
[What are you thinking about?]
“I’m reflecting on whether I should go and get rid of it first.”
[Maybe you didn’t know that you did it?]
“It’s better to be certain about something.”
No matter how strong the cub becomes, its chances of survival are close to zero once it is in the hands of the Hell Master.
However, in the world of work, small possibilities come together in succession, resulting in absurd achievements.
If it appears in front of me, I will never let it live.
By the way, is Yongyong really not going to give you friend money?
[Why?]
“It’s nothing.”
For now, I’ll just have to watch quietly until he pays the friend fee.
* * *
It’s strange. Things are going very strangely.
By the time the Two Horn Demons had destroyed the fifth city in Romania, I still hadn’t received any requests.
Did they think they could stop it?
Anyone can see that the two-horned monster is a disaster that cannot be tolerated. At this point, a request for help should come in without further ado, right?
There was no need to urge others, so I only focused on Berserker, who needed to improve his monster hunting skills. As Berserker’s screams grew louder, his ability to hunt monsters improved, which was a small consolation.
These questions were answered when I entered the Blue House to meet the President and Cheon Myeong-guk.
“I guess opinions are divided.”
“Are there differences of opinion?”
“The Saint and Sir Franz need your power, but not all of Europe.”
The President told me that. Since he didn’t seem to understand, I kindly explained the current situation in Europe.
The relationship between Europe, which was on the verge of disintegration after the appearance of the devil, has become closer than in the past EU. And when Franz, who was in his early teens, took the lead and showed cohesion that was close to a single organization.
As a result, the League gained the ability to deal with monsters comparable to that of the United States.
“But a lot has changed since Sir Franz retired.”
After the legendary superman’s retreat, individual voices began to emerge from within Europe.
Even though Franz is revered as a great superman, he is ultimately German. Within Europe, which was united as one, voices that valued the interests of each country were expressed, and when Franz, who had ignored them through his leadership, disappeared, a full-fledged grouping of factions began to occur.
It included the interests of the country and the ideology it pursued.
Starting with the faction that prioritizes the security of Europe, the faction that wants to develop its own capabilities, and the sharp conflict surrounding the interests of each country, it is heating up day by day.
Even now, several years later.
“The reason is that Europe has been steadily accumulating power. As their ability to deal with monsters improves, they are confident that they can hunt plus-level monsters.”
In the meantime, Franz and the saint said that they would deal with the two-horned monster, so it was no wonder that they were dissatisfied.
In fact, even though Franz retired, two of the teenage superhumans are from Europe, and by establishing a cooperation system, the number of superhumans has been steadily increasing.
When people think that they have enough power, they become more inclined to solve problems on their own rather than borrowing the power of others.
There’s no reason to think I owe you anything.
The saint has already paid the price.
It was a legendary gift with an unexpected identity.
But that’s just my opinion.
“If circumstances allow, we can focus on hunting over there.”
I wondered if he really thought that was possible, but looking at the president’s expression, I could tell he was sincere.
“Wouldn’t it be possible with two teenage superhumans and multiple superhumans? “What do you think, as you are the only person in the world who has hunted a plus-level monster?”
Currently, Romania is gathering strength in Bucharest and appealing to Europe to join forces. As a result, discussions in various European countries are leading to a positive response.
The President was asking me if this would be possible.
It may be such a powerful force that other people will tremble when they hear it.
To me, it looked like they were digging a grave to bury themselves in.
No, the analogy may be wrong since it won’t even leave a trace.
“Of course it will fail.”
“So much so that you don’t even think about it?”
“After listening to the President’s words, I feel like I’m going to try dipping it in poop or soybean paste.”
The visuals may be similar, but the taste is dramatically different.
Europe is thinking of making soybean paste stew with poop.
Old Franz and the saint are in a situation where they cannot stop it.
They seem like frustrating people.
If they don’t listen to you like that, you have to beat them up and make them think differently.
“All right.”
The president’s explanation made the situation clear.
All I have to do is wait for the guys who don’t understand the topic to rush in and be killed. Then they will hurriedly reach out to me.
However, since you refused the favor, you will be presented with a high bill at that time.
“I will wait comfortably.”
