The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity

Episode 252:

The conversation with the President was a very useful time.

Each force has its own position and its own direction in pursuing its interests. In Europe, it was more important to wait and not be impatient.

Just because everything moves quickly in one direction doesn’t mean you’ll arrive early. Sometimes you have to be patient and wait patiently.

…Actually, there is no way.

In this case, it would be better to have a space-type gift that allows you to fly directly to Europe rather than a transfer-type gift supplemented by a friend fee.

That would be impossible, so I should give up, right?

As I was quenching my appetite with regret, I was caught by Cheon Myeong-guk who followed me.

“Superman, just a moment.”

“Do you have anything to say?”

“yes. “I have something to tell you.”

“Of course.”

We moved to the conference room in the Blue House.

“Thank you for this.”

At first, I wondered what kind of way to say thank you, but then I remembered what happened with the opposition party and nodded.

“Are you talking about the opposition party?”

“Yes that’s right.”

“It’s no big deal. That’s because they got rid of the annoying stuff first. “Even if I wasn’t the manager, I would have tried to handle it on my own.”

“Still, it was a great help to me.”

“I don’t know how someone who has been in politics for so long has a sense of politics that is so much lower than that of the director.”

If you’re going to pursue politics as a career, shouldn’t you have good political sense? Although he is a politician, it was puzzling in many ways to see that he did not have good political sense.

Most of the politicians I saw had strange ideas that thought the world revolved around themselves.

“I also don’t have a very good sense of politics.”

“No, in my opinion, of all the politicians other than the President, the Chief of Staff is the best.”

“…thank you.”

Cheon Myeong-guk said thank you with a confused expression and brought up the business for which he had called me.

“Do you remember Saudi Arabia being mentioned last time?”

“I remember 100 trillion.”

Even though it was a sudden incident, Saudi Arabia still did not withdraw its offer.

As a result, chaos broke out again.

Starting with the opposition party’s claim of responsibility that provoked me, it is ridiculous to sell the heart of the world’s only two-horned monster.

As the topic continued, the opposition party’s claim of responsibility grew, so I just watched quietly.

“A guest came from Saudi Arabia. “I am the King’s envoy.”

“Why did the special envoy come here?”

“Regardless of purchasing the heart of the Heavenly Demon Armor, it seems that my feelings for Choin are sincere. “It appears that he came here to take advantage of this opportunity to build friendships.”

“okay.”

I don’t really like things like friendships that simply build friendships.

Cheon Myeong-guk spoke in a subdued voice as if he had read my thoughts.

“The king’s special envoy can be helpful to you, too.”

“How can this help?”

“Saudi Arabia is well versed in European information.”

“ah.”

Come to think of it, Europe is not far from Saudi Arabia. This way, I can easily get the information I want about Europe.

furthermore.

Cheon Myeong-guk is the owner of Gift Simulation. Perhaps a calculation has been made about the current situation.

“I wanted to meet you because the manager recommended it, but I’m curious about how you view the situation in Europe from a close distance. “I’ll meet you.”

“thank you.”

* * *

The person who came to visit me was an attendant who has been serving the King of Saudi Arabia for 30 years.

Although he has no special position, he is the king’s closest confidant and is said to be the king’s hand and mouth in Saudi Arabia. He was in his early 60s, but he looked like he was in his 50s, perhaps because he took good care of it.

His level was about 7, making him a useful level awakener.

I guess he’s a bodyguard and attendant.

“My name is Nasir.”

“This is Junho Choi.”

We briefly said hello and then sat down across from each other. But I didn’t feel that Nasir was looking at me very favorably. This is because it was not very pleasant to look at the person in front as if searching openly.

“I consider it an honor to meet the world’s greatest awakened person.”

“Thank you. “By the way, are you quite good at Korean?”

His skills were so fluent that I thought the Nasir in front of me was a Saudi born in Korea.

“I just want to talk to you.”

“come out?”

“yes. I began learning it in earnest two years ago and even received pronunciation correction to enable smooth conversation. Korean dramas were a great help here.”

“….”

Nasir answered casually, but I wasn’t the one who heard it. It had not yet been two years since I became a superhuman. What this means is that even before I became a superhuman, I had been learning Korean to communicate with myself.

He didn’t seem like a loose person to think that he had completed his period.

My thoughts were exactly right.

“We have been keeping an eye on you in your home country because we thought you would stand out.”

In Saudi Arabia, around the time I earned the nickname “Head Breaker,” they were confident that I would become a superhuman in the near future. That’s probably good. It’s true that I was the one who drew attention by wandering around.

But I couldn’t understand why he had put so much effort into having a conversation with me.

“I didn’t know I would get the title of world’s strongest this early. “I should have listened more carefully to what His Majesty the King said, but I was severely scolded for this incident.”

“I don’t understand why their king is interested in me.”

I could see the Saudi security personnel getting upset as if they understood what I said.

But before I could react, Nasir raised his hand and stopped the bodyguards. He had a stern look that was completely different from his friendly face just moments ago. And when he turned his head to me again, he had a polite, friendly face on his face.

“His Majesty the King is very interested in talented people. And he enjoys interacting with those talented people. “It is because one of the small favors they do saves their home country.”

Saudi Arabia is a country with a large territory compared to its typical population.

These countries have suffered a greater blow than other countries since the emergence of monsters, and although the territory they have to protect is infinitely large, they are unable to demonstrate their strengths in the population, which can be considered a talent pool.

Saudi Arabia, which considered itself the loser of the Middle East, is now a place that suffers from frequent invasions by monsters.

But there is no way to get over it with just one word.

You did research on me just to build a friendship?

“So I did a lot of research on you. So much so that I feel confident that I know you as well as America. “For example, you are thinking about killing me right now.”

“….”

It’s true that you know me well. Well, if you think that just because you say that, you won’t be able to kill me, you’re mistaken.

However, this was the first time I had seen this type of approach. For now, I decided to listen to what they were saying until the end.

“So, I want to start by hearing why you came here.”

“I heard that they are preparing to go to Europe to hunt the Plus Plus level monsters that have appeared this time. We are willing to provide the information we have gathered.”

“What do you want?”

“If the hunt is successful and you are in good condition, could you visit your home country?”

A visit to Saudi Arabia.

After the appearance of the monster, it was revealed that the heart of the monster was an eco-friendly energy source, and the status of OPEC, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, which had been exerting great power through oil, plummeted.

As a result, Saudi Arabia suffered great losses. The inability of Middle Eastern countries to stand out in possessing awakened power or hunting monsters also played a role in the aftermath.

This is also because in the United States and Europe, where people are busy with their own lives, the Awakened Secrets are carefully managed. The draw was later resolved, but due to the nature of the Middle Eastern countries, many talented people had left their home country.

However, even if a rich person goes bankrupt, it lasts for three generations. It occurred to me that Saudi Arabia, as a regional power, had been preparing for a long time.

“You don’t have to decide right now. It’s literally just a request. instead.”

Nasir handed me a document containing information about Europe.

Are you handing me something without listening to my answer? It was an expression of his intention to buy my favor.

It’s not like I’m being clumsy and I’m not proudly saying bullshit.

It’s true that they did some research on me.

“His Majesty the King is looking forward to seeing the world’s greatest superhuman. “I hope you understand my sincerity.”

“I understand your sincerity.”

As expected, sincerity seems to be conveyed only when there is a clear price to pay.

I nodded with affirmation.

“Heh heh.”

“….”

Franz laughed empty-handed and the saint gathered her eyebrows.

They both felt sick to their stomachs, wondering how this situation had come to be.

After the Plus Plus stage monster appeared, the two tried to invite Choi Jun-ho as planned. However, when trying to come up with a response, they were able to confirm that the atmosphere in Europe was not going as they wanted.

He declared that he would gather his strength and deal with it on his own without calling in a superhuman from the outside.

Europe, which was initially divided in its individual responses, succeeded in establishing an efficient system by once again establishing a unified response system thanks to Franz’s dedication and sacrifice.

European countries were able to hunt monsters with minimal damage and succeeded in producing outstanding awakened people one after another through systematic training methods.

But now it has become poison.

The thorough protection of prospects and the method of monopolizing monster hunting rewards has created the perception that even monsters of the Plus Plus level can be used.

In particular, young superhuman groups in Europe pushed for this strongly.

“Now that things are like this, we can’t bring in Choi Jun-ho. “If there is a collision, an even bigger disaster will occur.”

“I agree.”

In Europe, the adepts known as young people are those under the age of 40. The number was twelve, and their influence on each country was strong because they had steadily accumulated results.

They are the ones who led public opinion by saying that they can hunt Plus Plus level monsters.

But Franz realized that they were not the main culprits who had planned this.

“You’re instigating him from behind…”

What prevented Choi Jun-ho from coming were the super-humans of England and France, who have had a huge influence on Europe since Franz retired.

Due to their presence, the speaking power of England and France in Europe was becoming stronger, and a structure was created to keep Germany and Italy, including Franz and the saint, in check.

In particular, Harry Carlson, a teenager and British superman, was famous for his enmity with Franz.

Still, I thought that my desire to make minimal sacrifices and hunt monsters was sincere, but this time I found out that even that was not the case.

“Once the fire has started, we cannot force it to be extinguished. “I have no choice but to leave it like this.”

“It would be nice if that happened, but it’s not easy.”

The saint took a deep breath and announced that Matteo Colazzi, an Italian priest, had visited her a little while ago.

Now 37 years old, he is an ambitious superhuman and a well-known playboy, burning with ambition to make a name for himself by hunting down plus-level monsters.

Crucially, he had been courting the saint passionately for 10 years.

“They say we can go on a date if we succeed in hunting.”

“Are you giving up your life just for one date? “Stupid guy!”

Franz clicked his tongue, wondering if his brain, which was usually close to a genius, would turn into a beast when he got involved with a woman.

Matteo Colacci was a talented person who could easily be called a genius, but it was still too early to deal with plus-plus level monsters.

No, it was clear that he had forgotten that he had struggled against plus level monsters before.

Do you think you can hunt for the Plus Plus level by barely succeeding?

It can be said that it is only one level difference, but just by looking at the data received from Choi Jun-ho, you can see that it is on a different level.

The saintess’s expression was also not bright.

“I asked them to stop hunting.”

“If you stop, why don’t you call it a date?”

“I told you so, but it’s not cool.”

“haha. “What’s so cool about that guy?”

“sorry. “I should have done whatever it took to stop him.”

“It’s okay. I’m already filled with feelings of resonance. Even if you try to stop me, there’s no way I can stop it. “They said they would thoroughly protect future generations, but I never thought it would come back this way.”

Franz burst out laughing at the absurd situation.

The difficulties they faced did not end there.

After meeting with Matteo Colacci, Choi Jun-ho contacted the saint that he was leaving for Italy.

It looks like he is literally trying to fulfill his promise.

However, if this was accepted, the opportunity to hunt Plus Plus level monsters in Europe would disappear.

Franz, who had seen the intention behind taking advantage of the conflict in Europe, looked dejected.

“That ignorant guy pulled such a cunning trick.”

“You probably don’t mean it. “If we pass up this opportunity, we will have to pay a higher price the next time we ask.”

“I guess that’s what they were aiming for. “I’m sure you’ve benefited greatly from receiving your gift.”

“Is that so? “It was given to me by God, so I wouldn’t have been able to get it right.”

“He shouldn’t think in ordinary terms. “One way or another, he will have gained something.”

They are the ones who requested it and they are the ones who rejected it, so it is a very nasty situation.

You can ask him to wait indefinitely, but it’s up to Choi Jun-ho to decide whether to listen or not.

“I have no choice but to follow this guy’s goals.”

“yes. But if you change your mind…”

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

Franz, who spoke with confidence, smiled at the saint.

Franz knows.

Choi Jun-ho wants to hunt Plus Plus monsters.

However, it is Choi Jun-ho’s side who holds the sword. If this proposal was rejected, there was no choice but to be dragged around unilaterally.

We just have to give more.

“Don’t you know that the thing I’m most looking forward to dealing with when he appears now is not the rampaging guys over there, but this guy forcing us to make a choice.”

“yes.”

This would not have happened if public opinion had not flowed in a strange direction in the first place.

What kind of request will Choi Jun-ho make?

Just thinking about it gave me a headache.
