The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity

Episode 301

Han Jeong-moon’s snake-like eyes swept over Cheon Myeong-guk.

It was hard for him, who had the highest approval rating for the ruling party’s presidential candidate not long ago, to believe that the reality had changed in an instant.

‘If it weren’t for you…’

He gritted his teeth as he recalled the series of actions shown by Cheon Myeong-guk.

Cheon Myeong-guk, who was only a director at the Blue House, should have had no presence. However, as he began recruiting Choi Jun-ho and showed himself handling Choi Jun-ho in a meaningful way, his stock price began to rise.

The final blow here was the president’s intention.

The achievements achieved with Choi Jun-ho at the forefront became the president’s achievements, and the president was able to shift his approval ratings by appointing Cheon Myeong-guk as his political successor.

In the process, the ruling party and the opposition party appeared disorganized. Until then, Han Jeong-moon thought he had a chance.

The position of mayor of Seoul allowed him to serve as an opposition party within the ruling party while maintaining an appropriate distance from the regime.

However, with the advent of Cheon Myeong-guk, everything was taken away.

He tried several times to seek opportunities for a reversal, but they all failed. Cheon Myeong-guk’s approval rating was soaring as it was coupled with the regime’s approval rating.

There was nothing Han Jeong-moon, who suddenly fell to the second-place group, could do.

‘Nonsense.’

Each time, Han Jeong-moon could not help but be astonished. Cheon Myeong-guk, who was only a novice in politics, did not make a single common speech mistake and was simultaneously showing the freshness of a rookie and the skill of a 9th-level politician.

It felt like watching Jeon Han-cheol’s three-up attack before he became president.

Han Jeong-moon thought that even this was because the President helped him.

It can’t go on like this. The original plan was to emphasize the skill of a political senior and the skill of an administrator while accepting the mistakes of Cheon Myeong-guk, a political novice, but then the primary was about to end.

Of course, the result would be Cheon Myeong-guk’s overwhelming superiority.

While I was looking for momentum for a turnaround, an opportunity came.

This is the mass death of media owners.

Except for the two missing people, everyone died of natural causes, but there was no one anywhere in Korea who would obediently believe that.

The culprit is probably Choi Jun-ho.

And if Choi Jun-ho’s name is tarnished, the person who suffers the most will be Cheon Myeong-guk, who promoted himself as being able to handle Choi Jun-ho well.

I was planning on getting closer to Choi Jun-ho and gaining the upper hand, but I guess I didn’t think that he would be holding me back like this.

That’s why the political world talked about Choi Jun-ho’s risk.

Han Jeong-moon counterattacked harshly.

“Answer me, Candidate Cheon!”

* * *

Cheon Myeong-guk whetted his appetite as he watched Han Jeong-moon fiercely push him. I thought there would be an offensive against me, but this was more pressure than I expected.

‘first of all.’

In Cheon Myeong-guk’s opinion, the only person who would do something like this is Choi Jun-ho. Even without running the simulation, there is only one person with that level of skill.

But admitting it here was a different matter. Although it was a short period of time, he received the guidance of the President, a 9th Dan in politics, and understood the nature of politics better than anyone else.

Perhaps Han Jeong-moon is also trying to overturn the frame by inducing his own mistakes.

I felt disillusioned with trying to hide my true feelings and somehow point out my shortcomings, but on the contrary, I felt that this was the field I was best at.

“I think it is inappropriate to mention Choi Jun-ho as the culprit.”

“Are you defending him now?”

“Since when did the principle of presumption of guilt become a priority in our country? Or is there some other evidence that I don’t know about?”

“….”

Han Jeong-moon’s mouth closed. If he pushes it further, it will be burdensome because it will seem like he is convinced that Choi Jun-ho is the culprit.

But this was only a temporary measure.

“The culprit should not be identified until everything is clear.”

“Are you covering your eyes and shouting now?”

“That’s not it. So this is my suggestion to the candidates here.”

If he appears to step down just because Choi Jun-ho’s name is on the list, it will only lead to disappointment among his supporters.

I knew him better than anyone else while assisting him next to me.

The president must be a leader who uses people who are not the smartest in the right places and takes full responsibility for them.

It would be good to show the charisma to make a breakthrough in a situation that could be called a crisis and create the situation you want.

So Cheon Myeong-guk hit the player.

“This death of a media owner cannot be ignored at the national level. So, why don’t we launch a full investigation to uncover the deaths of media owners?”

“Of course it’s good…”

Han Jeong-moon, who was the first to answer, paused. He sensed the trap contained in Cheon Myeong-guk’s words.

“Wait.”

So, I tried to settle things, but Cheon Myeong-guk, who took the opportunity, did not let me go.

“We are thoroughly investigating what kind of grudge relationship has been formed and who is targeting it. “The key will be to make the public understand this part.”

“Now wait a minute! that.”

“Since everyone has agreed, I hope you can gather the opinions of the ruling party. “I will also give a mantra to the President.”

“….”

The other candidates had nothing to say as they proceeded like a bulldozer.

It suddenly became a debate on the ‘complete investigation into mass deaths instigated by the media’, but the aftermath began to swirl strongly.

* * *

South Korea is in an uproar, but to be honest, it’s none of my business.

It’s okay if a few bugs that eat up society die. Wouldn’t it be a better world to live in now that the harmful people are gone?

Of course, the confusion that arises in the process is inevitable.

However, if you continue to deal with the cockroaches that crawl out, they will eventually be eradicated.

Definitely.

Even if they suspected me, there was no evidence to prove that I did it.

Since Berserker is an accomplice, he has no choice but to remain silent.

[Humans! This guy killed everyone here! I turned my brain into a mess and broke my head with brainwashing! Humans! He is the culprit!]

Even if Yongyong shouted like that, there was no way his words would be heard.

My actions have two meanings. One was the conviction that even if the world thought I was a criminal, I could not be called a criminal, and the warning that if I offended, even a rat or a bird could die at any time.

Choi Jun-ho If we want to create a republic, we need to cultivate this level of fear. Even so, humans are animals that forget their fear over time and quietly cross the line.

I also wonder how much it will take for him to die before he comes to his senses.

“Does that mean you’ll kill them all?”

However, there was someone who openly pointed out that I was the culprit, and it was Yunhee.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at me as if he was interrogating me, but it wasn’t for me to react.

“It’s not me.”

“You’re my brother.”

“Do you have any evidence?”

“My intuition, which I have seen closely for over 20 years, is telling me.”

With that instinct, he was poised to find all the criminals in the world. Even so, it was just a guess, and if I said no, there wouldn’t be much I could do.

Yunhee, who was looking at me blankly, sighed.

“I’m also upset that my mom takes medication for panic disorder. But is this the best?”

“I feel refreshed inside because I’m dead.”

“What you want is for no one to criticize you?”

“Is there anyone in this world who likes to be criticized?”

“Well, if you kill me like this, I won’t curse you.”

“Why do you also have the ideal that checks and balances must work properly for a healthy world?”

“Proper checks are not a bad thing.”

Although he was my younger brother, one thing was clear.

I was successful when I was young, so my head is a flower garden.

I am wary of wanting power and going crazy and having my body stolen, but there was nothing like that with Yunhee.

Well, there’s nothing good about knowing this.

There will come a time later when you will understand my heart.

“Before thinking about keeping each other in check, we should first think about working together. Do you think that right now, even the sacred guild is in control?”

“That’s…”

Of course not. As the status of the Shinsung Group rose vertically, there was no longer a place that could touch the Shinsung Guild. Even if the civil service organization comes out with an audit, it’s just blindfolded and Aung-sik.

That’s the case with everything in the world. The last bastion to stop that is public opinion.

Although there are times when the public’s eyes are ignored.

In that case, there was definitely an adverse effect.

Yunhee also seemed to understand the meaning of my words.

“…Anyway, be careful. “If all these perceptions accumulate, it won’t be good for you either.”

“I didn’t do anything, but please be careful.”

“I’ve only really improved my eloquence.”

In the end, Yunhee also gave up and stepped down. In this way, he defeated the younger sister who had been following him the most persistently.

In my case, all I had to do was not get caught.

How can they call me a criminal when no one has seen it?

[You don’t intend to follow the law, but you want the other person to follow the law?]

If you’re dissatisfied, just be stronger than me.

[and! So shameless! I’m so glad I’m not human.]

If you think you can avoid it just because you’re a divine beast, you’re mistaken.

Since when did I discriminate against human gods?

Anyway, what I feel these days is that although I have been exposed to society’s methods, in the end, when it comes to hematomas, that method is the most convenient.

* * *

As the incident in which 14 media owners died overnight became public, the Republic of Korea was engulfed in extreme confusion.

Naturally, I was the one who was pointed out as the culprit, and people around me said that it could not have been done without me.

However, this country’s judicial system operates by trial, not by deliberation. I thought it was only me who could do it, but it could have happened at any time even if I wasn’t.

So I was watching with interest to see how they were going to handle this.

“Hey.”

To be honest, I was impressed by Cheon Myeong-guk’s political skills.

During the primary debate, the candidates, led by Han Jeong-moon, put pressure on Myung-guk Cheon, saying that it was he who did it, but instead, they made him shut up by insisting on a full investigation.

If we were to investigate why they faced death and what kind of animosity they had had, everything they had done in their lives would inevitably be revealed.

Since they were people who could never be called clean, they probably wanted to prevent Pandora’s box from opening.

After that, there was no sound of pressure on Cheon Myeong-guk anywhere within the ruling party, and it was not much different from the opposition party.

Is this something that people who are not indebted to the political world can do? It felt amazing to see that someone who was close to me turned what was almost a crisis into a counterattack.

“Aren’t you a political genius?”

Of course, that doesn’t erase the fact that I was the one who dealt with the media owners.

Perhaps by now, influential figures will have begun an investigation into why the media owners met their deaths, and the materials prepared by the Shinsung Group will be quietly placed in their hands.

And you will find out.

If you mess with your family clumsily, you could disappear as if evaporating.

You must know that you are among those subject to overwhelming violence before you can act recklessly.

However, I had no intention of letting only those in power realize this.

Everyone should know.

Even if the people who support me leave in the process.

I went to see Jin Se-jeong regardless of whether it was noisy outside or not. After visiting the pop-up store, I thought about areas that needed improvement and was able to come to a conclusion.

“What do you think, Adept?”

“yes. “When I visited the pop-up store, I saw that they were selling various goods related to me.”

“Have you been there? I’m still very embarrassed. “I should have prepared better.”

I didn’t understand Jin Se-jeong’s attitude, but the reason I brought up the pop-up store story was because I thought it was important to stop people from running wild.

“I hired a team leader and talked to him to build a world view.”

“Yes, I did.”

“I’d like to change that.”

“yes? Edit? “In what way?”

Jin Se-jeong’s face was tense because it was an area I had not touched before.

Clearly, Jin Se-jeong is an expert in this field.

However, the shock and fear I felt after visiting the pop-up store was so great.

There was a gap between the real me and the brightly smiling me attached to the pop-up store goods, a gap that could not be filled.

Even I, who was called the worst, lacked the power to resist.

To overcome this, you need to align your real self with your worldview.

Of course, I should instill my original values in the world view.

I think a lot of people will leave in the process. What fans like is not Choi Jun-ho in reality, but Choi Jun-ho who is struggling in the world. However, only by narrowing this gap can we prevent further disappointment.

I feel more comfortable too.

Jin Se-jeong may be disappointed because he is trying to manipulate the world view as he pleases.

Maybe you can say you’re leaving.

However, Jin Se-jeong is someone I really need, so even if she announced her intention to leave, I planned to hold on to her as much as possible.

“For that reason, I want to overthrow my fantasy world view and match my reality as much as possible. What do you think, team leader?”

I said this while preparing for a fierce backlash.

“…I rather like it.”

huh?

Words that were completely different from what I expected came out.

“There are limits to what I can build with just my imagination. However, it is supplemented based on the superhuman in reality. Are you thinking of adding realism, which was lacking the most? There is nothing more precious than this. “I learned something from Choin. I think you have a knack for training fans.”

“….”

I felt like I was falling further into the mire.
