Chapter 300
Episode 300:
Berserker wasted his opportunity, but not me.
Once you have captured your enemy, you must thoroughly uncover the information and deal with him in the most painful way possible.
Berserker noticed my confidence and spoke to me with an expression full of absurdity.
“You’re going to use your hands more calmly than I am?”
“Don’t you believe it?”
“You’ve seen so many people with their heads broken or turned into idiots, and now you’re going to pretend you didn’t notice?”
“Oh, that? “There was a time like that.”
[You didn’t change much in LA.]
I was going to brush it off as a long time ago, but Yongyong also chimed in as if he couldn’t overlook it.
In any case, if a small gap is revealed, it gets bitten here and there.
I clicked my tongue and spoke to Berserker.
“Don’t think of me as the person I used to be.”
“Didn’t you say your excuse was long? He didn’t like hearing what the other person was talking about. “I wonder why you suddenly changed your mind.”
“The moment the suspicion becomes clear, it doesn’t change that he’s the one who will be killed anyway. “I didn’t think it was right to quickly end the pain of someone who was going to kill me.”
I think in the past I pursued extreme efficiency. I thought that since he was going to kill me anyway, I had to kill him quickly so I could deal with the guy who would kill more people.
If you ask me if I still feel the same way, I can say that my thoughts have changed.
Why?
Because I became normal.
“It’s also because there’s no reason to be chased.”
As I improved my slash with Bladestorm and acquired the gift of sniping, it became easier to deal with large numbers of people.
In the past, I was a villain and was always pressed for time. If you turn this into a meal, you only have 10 minutes to eat, so you have to eat as quickly as possible to fill the required amount.
But things are different now. I was no longer chased and was now able to commit mass murder if I wanted to. Above all, since they have killed as many people as possible within the Republic of Korea, there is no longer any reason to be chased.
Since I was given unlimited meal time, I gave up the habit of considering the amount of food and changed it to savoring the taste.
If I can remember his name, he deserves special treatment, so I should give him special treatment.
[Wow….]
Yongyong is impressed.
“…I don’t know where to start.”
Berserker sighed.
[It’s exactly what I wanted to say.]
I really didn’t like the idea of the two speaking with one mind and one intention.
Isn’t this just opposition for the sake of opposition?
Anyway, I had decided to throw away my old hand habits and put in the effort.
Berserker erased his smile and asked me.
“What is the target?”
“B Daily Jang Se-hwan.”
“He’s a big guy.”
Speaking of B Ilbo, it is one of the largest media outlets in Korea. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a distant affiliate of the Shinsung Group and is connected to the top conglomerates, and that politicians from B Ilbo are leading the mainstream public opinion in Korea.
And this is where I touched my family and saw their livers.
As a vested interest among vested interests, he was involved in all kinds of corruption. Kickbacks were basic, and he received a large amount of money by receiving forced advertising orders, colluding with corporate hunters, and looking after the backs of several guilds.
In particular, 10 years ago, when Shinheung Chaebol was forced out of the industry, he acquired it at a low price through spin-off and succeeded in establishing B Ilbo as the best media conglomerate in Korea.
And he actually appeared to be free from attacks from the media.
It was the reason why I was able to live with vested rights even though it smelled bad.
Berserker also clicked his tongue when he saw the article written by B Daily.
“The method is really clever. “It was a good idea to avoid starting a fight.”
The main method is that when B Ilbo raises an issue, its media outlets rush in and bite it like a swarm of bees.
It seems like everyone in the world is criticizing him for not having enough business.
If you fall into a panic like this, you will end up falling prey to B Daily News.
Even though it was belatedly taken legally, B Ilbo was structured so that it would not face any charges or losses.
“But I picked the wrong opponent. Hehehe. “You don’t consider legal matters at all.”
Yes, it’s just as Berserker said.
If it goes to court, B Ilbo will be found not guilty. But so what?
I’ll do whatever I feel like.
If you are dissatisfied, just stay somewhere out of my power.
I don’t know if there is such a place.
“But why are you smiling like a villain?”
“I was just smiling as usual, why are you arguing?”
“I wasn’t arguing, I was just asking about what I saw, Yunan.”
“You’re making a fuss about something that doesn’t really matter.”
The guy who was grumbling shifted his gaze to the document prepared by Shinsung Group and clicked his tongue.
“Anyway, it’s clever. “If Shinsung Group hadn’t tracked it down, I wouldn’t have known that B Ilbo was involved.”
“I guess so.”
Because it was a method of only throwing out topics and hiding completely, if Shinsung Group had not tracked them down, B Ilbo would not have been revealed.
“But is it okay for them to throw their collateral like this?”
“It means you bet on me.”
And even if we were talking about collateral, they split up three generations ago and are now separated from each other.
I also heard that B Ilbo was openly asking for advertising fees while seeing Shinsung Group doing well.
When I think about it this way, it seems like road murder.
On the other hand, I wonder if he just motivated me with this.
“Have you ever thought that the information might be false?”
“You told me a lie?”
“It’s one of the possibilities.”
“It’s not a lie.”
Information about Jang Se-hwan came up in a row with a simple search.
Rather, details were omitted.
“Even if it was a lie, they probably planned to deal with it.”
“of course. Should I bring him then?”
1 hour after that.
I succeeded in kidnapping Jang Se-hwan.
It’s a lot easier than you think.
* * *
Jang Se-hwan, a media tycoon, was called the ruler of Korea’s dark side thanks to the instigation of B Ilbo, which can control public opinion in Korea.
Public opinion was quickly formed with just one word from him, and anyone who walks away from him is bound to have their image damaged.
Once an image has deteriorated, it takes a long time to restore it.
In an age overflowing with information, humans began to acquire information selectively, and B Ilbo, located in the top tier of public opinion formation, was in a position to play a proactive role in shaping the image within the Republic of Korea.
As monsters and awakened people appeared, his influence became less than before, but Jang Se-hwan’s influence was still strong.
The media power is not responsible.
It was openly said that it would not change in the past, present, or future.
Because everyone’s imagination is free.
In other words, this guy is cheap to kill.
Quad deuk!
“Kwaaaak!”
With an eerie sound, the knuckle bones were turned into powder. Certainly, microscopic destruction can cause long-term pain, but it is not easy to control.
I took my eyes off the guy crawling on the floor like a bug and got lost in thought.
Is this guy worth that much effort?
“Kill the Lord! “Better kill me!”
“It’s not you who decides that.”
“What on earth do you want… ugh!”
Using Jang Se-hwan’s screams as background music, he carefully broke the bones in his finger joints.
I broke all the joints in his right hand, one after another, and he was on the verge of death. I thought it was effective because it was confirmed that this kind of effect could be achieved by only damaging one hand.
It seemed like it caused enough pain, but it wasn’t really good for me.
Because it felt like I had been eating a piece of bread for 30 minutes.
It tastes good, but it doesn’t feel like it’s full of flavor.
It’s not my taste.
Feeling like I was losing my appetite, I turned my gaze to Jang Se-hwan.
“Why did you punish my family?”
“That…”
“Has it not been hit enough yet?”
“wait for a sec! “Aaaah!”
As each of my fingers was reduced to powder again, I started to blow alcohol.
It is literally like a rite of passage when a new powerful person appears.
Because of that rite of passage, my mother developed panic disorder and ended up taking medication.
What a rite of passage.
“Then let’s go through a rite of passage, too.”
That rite of passage is surviving after doing something that would kill me.
If you avoid my hand, you will survive; if you cannot, you will die.
“Now wait a minute! Please give me a chance…”
Without paying attention to what he said, I placed my hand on my head and used brainwashing. The cunning eyes became blurry and his consciousness came fully under my control.
I gave him a chance, but he couldn’t hold on.
There’s no way you wouldn’t know this.
As expected, this method is more convenient for me. Brainwashing penetrated through my fingertips and rummaged through his brain to extract information. In the process, damage occurs, and the brain, the most complex tissue in the world, ceases to function properly.
I was able to hear the detailed story from the guy who lost his senses.
There wasn’t as much content as I thought.
A new superhuman is like the emergence of a new vested interest, so it is celebrated in the media like an annual event. Find out where the pain is the most and turn it into a weakness.
What they did to me was also part of the procedure.
I didn’t react much, so I tried to take a step forward, but Shinsung Group stopped me, so I couldn’t dig further.
At the same time, he poured out many curses against Shinsung Group.
“It’s just as you said.”
“So that’s it.”
This was enough to make me think that Shinsung Group might have lent my help.
After that, when my control became known, he got scared and stopped and held his breath.
I thought it was something from the distant past, so it was buried and I had passed over it, but in fact, I only found out about it now.
You wouldn’t have thought that things from the past would be revealed now.
In fact, grudges have a long shelf life.
If you are dissatisfied with that, then live a good life.
I felt like I had lived the way I wanted to think that what I had done in the past would disappear.
puck!
The guy with his head broken collapsed helplessly. Berserker, who was watching this, spoke to me in a voice filled with ridicule.
“You said you were confident, but you couldn’t bully me for longer than I did.”
“I was mistaken. “My stomach is not as good as I thought.”
My allergy to bullshit was much harder to overcome than I thought.
I thought it was a little better, but I overlooked this.
Even if you try to enjoy it, should you say that you have a constitution that prevents you from enjoying it because of an allergic reaction?
“Tsk tsk tsk tsk!”
I didn’t like the smiling Berserker’s behavior, but since I had said something, I didn’t want to say anything more.
I just wanted to try this and that for no reason.
“It’s a bit bland, but it’s been dealt with. “This is going to cause a fuss.”
“No.”
“what?”
“There are some guys here who move like limbs. “We have to deal with them too for it to end completely.”
Sins in the limbs do not disappear just because the head tells them to. If you blow out the brain, the limbs will be able to make decisions and move on their own, so you have to kill them all too.
“You’re not planning on forgiving me just because I received an order and did it, right?”
A guy who retreats like that is no good.
Berserker grinned at my point.
“Of course not. “I refrained from doing so out of fear of causing unnecessary commotion, but this is good news.”
“You too should learn how to infiltrate. “Because it helps when processing it.”
“Are you teaching assassination now?”
“I’m saying don’t stress and just deal with those who need to be dealt with.”
Anyway, Berserker and I don’t use our hands unless we touch him first, unless he’s a villain.
If he dies by our hands, he has committed a mortal act.
“let’s go. “There were quite a few people to kill.”
I failed to inflict long-term pain, but I succeeded in smashing the heads of all those who enjoyed unaccountable power.

It was a peaceful day like any other day. Although accidents occurred, I thought it would be a normal day.
The Republic of Korea was overflowing with energy as the presidential election fever slowly heated up. It became safe from the threat of monsters, and maritime trade, which had been interrupted, was revived, leading to a smooth supply of oil. As the food problem was solved through the continuous expansion of smart farms, clues to solving the refugee problem, which was the biggest problem, began to appear.
Korea was a better place to live than yesterday.
However, the entire Republic of Korea was shaken when an incident in which 14 media owners died in one day occurred.
These weren’t just media owners. They were all famous newspaper companies, and they were the biggest names in the world, holding more than 80% of the media shares in Korea.
An incident occurred that literally evaporated the power of the media in Korea overnight.
This news did not immediately appear in the media. Although the reason was that a detailed understanding of the situation was necessary, there was only one person in Korea who could carry out this act.
Junho Choi.
If not for him, there is no way he could have eliminated as many as 14 media owners in one night.
No, if there are other people, it is even more serious.
In the case of Jang Se-hwan, he was famous for being very careful about protecting his personal life because he had committed so many crimes.
This news was not known to the public, but it quickly spread to influential guilds of politicians and businesses, and they moved to find out the details.
If they were involved, Choi Jun-ho’s hand could have reached this place.
Currently, there is no one in Korea who could defy Choi Jun-ho’s wishes and survive.
And that day was the day of the ruling party presidential candidate primary debate.
Han Jeong-moon, the mayor of Seoul and once a strong presidential candidate, made public this incident and launched a fierce attack on Cheon Myeong-guk in order to seize the possibility of a sudden reversal.
“Candidate Chun, who do you think is the culprit of today’s mass murder of media owners? Answer me!”
