The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity

Episode 377

“….”

I feel embarrassed.

I quietly looked at Yu Hao like that.

I already know that he used his brain to minimize the situation.

But that ‘cheap price’ created a huge gap between me and him.

If you think that it will be resolved just by kneeling once,

isn’t that something you can do as much as you want with your eyes closed?

Humans are such treacherous animals.

I’m on my knees now, but I can change my mind at any time if I turn around.

A true apology is only if the target is satisfied.

I’m not particularly angry, but I think I can be generous and understand if it’s about an arm’s length.

Every time you see the empty spot where your arm was cut off and feel uncomfortable, wouldn’t you reflect on yourself to avoid making the same mistake?

[Do you really think so?]

That can’t be true.

Reflection is not something to consider in the first place. If you just look at that and instill the thought that you need to be careful in the future, you will succeed.

That’s the real lesson.

“cut.”

“….”

The guy hesitated without answering.

This indirectly revealed that this action was ultimately based on shallow calculation.

“Can I help you if you have trouble cutting it on your own?”

I was planning on cutting it right away if I accepted.

“I made a big decision just to come here.”

“What are you prepared for?”

“…You don’t have the slightest respect for us. “Even though it has been divided into many parts, the pride of China is bigger and higher than you can imagine.”

As Yu Hao said, even though China was divided into many branches, the scale of each country exceeded that of the Republic of Korea.

When peace comes, there is always the possibility of improving national power, and due to the nature of trying to become one, if they come together again, they will become a threatening enemy.

That is why they are trying to prevent both Cheon Myeong-guk and Lee Se-hee from uniting as one through divisive policies.

Those guys knew that too, so they acted out of resentment.

But as always, in the end, the powerful become justice.

If that’s what you’re dissatisfied with.

“Aren’t you stronger than me?”

“….”

“Did you think I would be so moved and accept it if you bent down on your gold-plated knee to say it was expensive? “Remember the moment you first met me.”

When I went to Uiju in pursuit of a cult, the first person I saw was a puppet who couldn’t even exercise his own will.

He made a guy who had nothing into the head of the divided but divided Northern army.

They say things are different before and after taking power, but that also should have been done by looking at people.

Since the modification fails, he will have to pay the price in front of me.

“I’m disappointed if I didn’t have that level of determination. “I have no choice but to receive my own compensation.”

“I’m going to cut it.”

Before I could say anything more, Yu Hao clenched his teeth and struck his left arm.

Suddenly!

The arm fell off below the elbow, and a thick stream of blood spurted out.

“Tsk!”

Yu Hao staggered to his knees and clenched his teeth.

Is it because of the pain of being cut, or because my pride was trampled?

[Anyway, my pride has been completely destroyed because of you.]

Did you see yourself becoming insignificant now because you were a more noble being than anyone else?

Yongyong’s sympathy for Yu Hao was unsightly.

I approached Yu Hao, who was stopping the bleeding, squatted down, and made eye contact.

“You should do your best in your position. “Don’t be too greedy.”

“…be careful.”

“Instead, let’s overlook the trick you guys pulled.”

You will soon realize that this is a very cheap price to pay.

Yu Hao’s visit was carried out in utmost secrecy, but it was impossible to keep everyone’s mouths shut in the first place.

Choi Jun-ho’s return after a year was like a huge disaster that could not be handled by those who thought Choi Jun-ho was dead and were working behind the scenes.

In particular, it aroused shock and fear that the president of a country called North China, a member of the Ten Superhumans, personally came and knelt down.

Even though it is divided, North China is still a huge country. It is a place that can easily fit into the top ten in the world and is home to awakened people who have been trained in actual combat.

The fact that Choi Jun-ho returned from a place where it would not be strange to take pride in being one of the world’s hegemonies, led the head of the country to personally apologize.

But the news that followed was even more shocking.

When Yu Hao, who was said to have knelt, returned, one of his arms was gone.

What happened in the middle stimulated all kinds of imagination.

Everyone who was watching was left speechless by the unimaginable result.

Jin Se-jeong, who knew this whole process, grinned.

“I learned from other places that the price paid by Chairman Wei was the cheapest.”

However, the low price was unimaginably expensive to others.

A man in his early teens and the head of a country had to kneel and offer up his arms.

You’re probably busy tapping away at your calculator in a panic right now.

“But there won’t be an answer. “Because we, Adepts, do not get caught up in such manipulations.”

As time passes, the price to pay will become more expensive, and those in power will try to avoid paying the price themselves, delaying time, and interest will grow like a snowball.

If debt default continues, it is natural to go foreclosure.

“It’s a shame I can’t see it with my own eyes.”

Jin Se-jeong, who is also an expert on Internet public opinion, watched public opinion change in real time when Choi Jun-ho disappeared.

It was difficult to see it as a normal trend, but it seemed like a large number of businesses were coming in to create public opinion.

When Choi Jun-ho returned, he disappeared as if he had been washed away, but Jin Se-jeong had watched them all to see what direction they were trying to lead and what result they were trying to achieve.

“We need to learn from this incident.”

When something is there, you take it for granted, but when it disappears, the empty space feels big.

The people of the Republic of Korea have clearly watched how public opinion has flowed and the status of the Republic of Korea has fallen in real time over the past year since Choi Jun-ho disappeared.

-That great gentleman is coming to the class to apologize.

-Yu Hao came in person? Does it make sense to kneel down and offer up an arm in exchange for an apology?

-That’s not just a comment, he’s from a person in his early teens.

-That’s crazy. I knew Choi Jun-ho was the strongest in the world, but was it to this extent?

-It is understandable to see how each country’s attitude changed after it was announced that Choi Jun-ho was missing.

-The United States was also trying to show a change in attitude, but when Choi Jun-ho appeared, it immediately put its head down and started crawling.

-Really, without Choi Jun-ho, the reputation of the Republic of Korea was greatly affected.

-There are people who criticize superhumans like this?

-From now on, Choi Jun-ho and I declare that we are one body. Any attack on Choi Jun-ho will be considered an attack on me.

-I think I understand because it happened once and then disappeared. Really, without Choi Jun-ho, Korea would be in a dark place.

-Berserker, Jeong Da-hyun, and even Jeong Joo-ho are all Choi Jun-ho’s line. This country is now at a point where it cannot function without Choi Jun-ho.

-The president right now was also in charge of Choi Jun-ho.

-Looking at it this way, Saudi Arabia is a really big guy. Even if Choi Jun-ho goes missing, they keep sending us gas.

-The fact that they maintained their loyalty is amazing, and the guys who showed it after not being able to endure it for a year are also amazing.

-If the 1st party is like that, the ones that come after them will likely die.

Public opinion reversed dramatically. Now, if you criticize Choi Jun-ho even slightly, you will be labeled as a foreign fraudster or a person who cannot read the situation.

This trend was not created by Jin Se-jeong.

It was only a slight reversal of what had been accumulating since Choi Jun-ho went missing.

In fact, it is a truly professional work only if public opinion naturally flows in that direction, even if it is slightly girdled from the side.

“It was something I was supposed to enjoy, but it took a long time.”

What she wanted was to make Choi Jun-ho a sanctuary.

I never thought he would disappear, so the sense of loss I felt when he disappeared was great. So her goal was to make sure that no one was talking nonsense the next time she was away.

For that, Jin Se-jeong tapped on the keyboard.

In a corner of the office, Choi Jun-ho’s project to create a great man was unfolding.

* * *

Yu Hao returned with his arm cut off. Cheon Myeong-guk smiled, saying that the diplomatic situation would become more interesting in the future.

Aside from using force, diplomacy is Cheon Myeong-guk’s domain. I returned after deciding to leave the rest to him.

[Are you really going to forgive the country where there is a person named Wei Hao?]

“I promised, so I must forgive.”

[It was truly forgiveness.]

“Why?”

[Because you are different from your usual self.]

“It has to be different.”

When the hematoma that had affected me directly or indirectly disappeared, I felt an unbearable emptiness. It’s a bad relationship that I’m sick of, but he was someone I’ve had troubles with for a long time. It would be a lie if I said there was no impact because half of me was torn away.

Now that the bad relationship is gone, it would be natural for me to look different from how I used to look.

[For that matter, he wasn’t very merciful.]

“Is there any reason to look at the guy who exposed his teeth to me?”

[In the past, you would have run right away, right? But now I am taking care of it.]

“Because I can handle it at any time.”

Because I have confidence in him, there is no need to work hard like before.

If I feel like it, I can just run over and take care of it.

“It’s fun to watch what choices the other person makes.”

[I think the other person will bleed more.]

“Isn’t that fun?”

[…It’s a devil.]

A strange phenomenon is happening where Shinsu searches for the devil.

Still, as Yongyong said, it was true that I had some free time. In the past, if there was an annoying person in front of me, I had to immediately take action, but now I can tolerate it and take a break.

Regardless of whether this is positive or negative, being able to relax once more is not a bad thing for me.

By the way, I need to answer some questions soon.

“I have one question.”

[Huh, what is it?]

“Can a divine beast artificially create its power as a gift?”

[uh? Why is that suddenly happening?]

Yongyong’s puzzled expression.

I passed by that look on his face as if he didn’t know anything.

“It’s probably possible. “Am I right?”

[I don’t know because I haven’t tried it.]

“But I think you can do it. It’s a great divine beast. “I could probably do that with my eyes closed.”

[Why are you doing that?]

I remembered the time when I got an instant fraud. At the time, the hematoma was torn apart and he suffered a fatal injury, so it would not have been surprising if he lost his life immediately.

In the process of copying the gift, I sensed the presence of a divine beast.

It was a being called ‘God’ that the Hell Master served.

Shin acted as if he had given everything to Hell Master, but in reality, he was preparing to take everything from him.

When I saw the shadow of a hematoma in the guy whose presence had been erased as if it had never existed from the beginning, I immediately started to treat it.

The guy resisted violently and moved to take over my body.

After annihilating it after a vicious struggle, I learned that a divine beast that failed or was not able to construct a body properly saves its host in this way.

Shinsoo is not noble just by existing. The thing I saw was extremely obsessed with life and moved greedily in search of a suitable host.

In the process of dealing with the spirit chain and absorbing its fragments, I got a glimpse of the secret behind instant death.

“In the end, the Gift can be seen as a form that imitates the power of the Divine Beast.”

Then a question arose.

The first gift I ever owned was blood feeding.

How did this incredible power to copy other people’s gifts come to me?

The result would have been the same as the Hell Master’s: going crazy by copying multiple gifts and losing his body to a blood race.

So, was the hematoma a new beast?

Or is there a separate intention behind making this?

And why did I return to the past?

As coincidences overlapped, they no longer felt like coincidences.

This is inevitable.

An inevitability created by someone.

[….]

“There is a guy who intended this. And I am a guy who thinks he is a god.”

And Yongyong probably knows the secret too.

“Was the gift made by a god?”
