The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity

Episode 321

Jeon Han-cheol stared at Choi Jun-ho.

It’s a handsome face.

It was something I felt when I first saw it, but now that the styling has been added, it has become several times more sophisticated.

Who would look at that and call it a head breaker?

I still remember the explicit expressions when the first report about Choi Jun-ho was posted.

slaughterer.

It was a nickname given to him because he was said to dispose of others without the slightest hesitation. There were countless oppositions when he was recruited as a superhuman, and he was the one who overcame all of them and accepted the advice of Cheon Myeong-guk.

The result was a huge success.

‘It’s changed.’

Choi Jun-ho’s first impression was different from his present in many ways.

He was wearing unrefined life like clothes, as if telling people not to touch him.

The gruesome appearance, as if he would be cut to pieces with just a touch, looked more like a blood-crazed villain than a superman protecting the country.

A lot of things happened in the process.

‘It’s ridiculous to summarize it in just a few words like this.’

The three years he spent with Choi Jun-ho during his term would have been an experience that no one would ever experience.

Thinking back at that time, I was worried about whether the next president would be able to handle Choi Jun-ho, but a lot had changed in terms of the atmosphere.

It’s surprisingly stable. If his first appearance made you think of a villain, now he looks so ordinary that you might think he’s an actor or a model.

Jeon Han-cheol thought it was something he got used to in society.

I’m still worried about accidents, but I don’t feel like I’m going to take care of anyone like I did before.

‘If you think about the surprises in the process, there were a lot of things.’

But now that his term is over, everything has become a memory.

The remaining time was not his, but Cheon Myeong-guk’s.

‘This is not the time to think about this.’

Choi Jun-ho was looking at himself.

The eyes were looking for an answer.

Your answer probably won’t have much of an impact.

But it may provide some food for thought.

Jeon Han-cheol spoke honestly about the thoughts that came to his mind.

“I don’t want to be a god.”

“….”

“God must be a being with omniscience and omnipotence. Immortality, overwhelming strength, tireless stamina, and a brilliant mind. If you think about it simply, it means that something imperfect is filled and becomes a perfect being. Am I right?”

“It’s similar.”

“Do you think it is possible to fill all of that and become a complete being?”

“It won’t be easy.”

“God is God because he was perfect from the moment he existed. “For something other than that to become a god is just a pitiful title for someone who wants to be perfect.”

Everyone wants to become God.

Even if I am not a god, I want to become a perfect being and a being with stronger power.

The same was true for Jeon Han-cheol, who successfully advanced north and consolidated cooperation with Choi Jun-ho, putting South Korea in the ranks of great powers.

I wanted to maintain this power forever, if not forever.

But ironically, the reason he gave up that greed was because he saw a talent that surpassed him.

Even he, who was called the 9th dan in politics, sensed that it was time to step down in the face of Cheon Myeong-guk’s resourcefulness.

“However, if I can become better than I am now, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have a goal of becoming a god. But that doesn’t mean he can become a god. So, do you want to become God?”

“well.”

Choi Jun-ho’s ambiguous answer. A decision has not been made yet.

Jeon Han-cheol’s thoughts about him were simple.

“Do whatever you want.”

“….”

“Try whatever you want to do. You may gain power that no one else has, or you may possess inexhaustible wealth. “You could have amazingly beautiful women follow you.”

These are all things you do when you have power.

Then, at some point, you will realize it.

Just looking at it now.

“It’s just that you don’t seem to want it.”

“I’m not particularly attracted to it.”

“But it’s better to try.”

If I were Choi Jun-ho’s age, or even five years ago, if I could become a god, I wouldn’t have passed up the opportunity.

Maybe they trampled and trampled it so that the sprout called Cheonmyeongguk could not sprout.

Choi Jun-ho’s gaze filled with a feeling of surprise reached him.

“You don’t seem to be worried at all about what happens after that.”

“Because I am a person who is just waiting for the day to die.”

“To die. “I think the President will correct this even if he is over 100 years old.”

“Thank you for your words. But it’s not good to just be a nuisance to those around you. My wish is to burn everything until the end and then disappear like smoke. “I don’t want to be left biting and crying because I’m in pain.”

“It’s surprising. “I thought you wouldn’t let go of your will to power until the end.”

“If I were you, it would be a different story.”

But he cannot be like Choi Jun-ho. And then someone appeared who could do better.

That’s why I was able to give up. And now that my obsession is gone, I feel more at ease than ever.

However, unlike himself, who stopped here, Choi Jun-ho must keep running.

Where will it end?

Seeing the superhuman who had reached an unprecedented level, Jeon Han-cheol shook off the anxiety he had been feeling for a long time.

Choi Jun-ho, who went through the process of socialization, was never someone who would destroy the world.

“Instead, please take a look at our country’s situation.”

“Yeah, I’ll think about something.”

From those words, I felt that I had no intention of becoming a god.

Being relieved means that there was no 100% trust in Choi Jun-ho.

Well, he’s not even a god, so how can you completely believe in him?

“Don’t just think about it.”

“But if you get caught, shouldn’t you go?”

“….”

If I had been at ease, I would have been in big trouble.

Yes, as long as you don’t get caught, it’s okay.

As long as you don’t get caught.

The conversation with the president was quite unexpected and interesting at the same time.

It was advice I asked with a light heart to begin with.

My thoughts already existed, and I only intended to use them as a reference.

I was just curious about what the President would think if he could become God.

But as we talked, there was a resonance.

To become a god. In the end, it is up to me to decide the direction in which my desires flow.

So what do I want to do if I become a god?

success? I already have that in my hand. When I was nothing, I wanted to acquire strong power, grow into an awakened person, and show myself as a wonderful son, but not now.

“There’s no need to do that.”

So what do I want?

As people are ultimately driven by desire, they must know what they want for themselves.

What do I want now?

There was one thing that came to mind.

“Erasing the remnants of the past.”

I no longer wanted to think of myself being tied down to my crazy past.

Being God means being perfect, but in my view, that is impossible.

The cult leader did that and the league’s Argos did that. Furthermore, the same goes for the thunderbird and the self-proclaimed god.

Even though they were imperfect beings, they called themselves gods and coveted high positions.

God is not a being that is being achieved, but a being that is perfect in itself.

The president’s words had the effect of making certain facts that were not specific.

“But I almost achieved everything.”

The conversation with the president was a great opportunity to clear my mind.

At that time, Yongyong, who had been away until a moment ago, appeared.

[What on earth did you do to push me away?]

“Personal story.”

I didn’t want to talk about God to him, so I kept him isolated.

If he heard that I could become a god, he would probably jump the most.

[What’s the use of hiding it from me?]

“How can a guy who is so picky about everything show everyone how pretty he is?”

[Is it that important? I remember that you didn’t have that kind of awareness.]

I think people’s minds are like a flower garden.

“Just keep that in mind.”

[I wasn’t that curious anyway.]

That’s what he said, but Yongyong’s eyes were diligently following me.

After Cheon Myeong-guk’s inauguration as President, changes also occurred regarding my team.

It was Jeong Joo-ho’s first appearance as a member of the country.

It was something I had already expected, but Jung Joo-ho, standing in front of me, could not hide his apologetic expression.

“I’m sorry.”

“It was something I expected. “I’m not doing anything bad, so there’s nothing to be sorry about.”

“Still, I’m sorry that I left after thanking you. “I will never forget this grace for the rest of my life.”

The blessing seemed to be proportional to the hair that was successfully protected.

“Even if I become a member of the national team, I will not forget my past as a member of Choi Jun-ho’s team. “Because of your personality, you will not engage in improper solicitation, so I hope you will always think of me as your team when speaking to me.”

“I think so.”

Anyway, given Jung Joo-ho’s personality, asking for favors won’t work. And I don’t have anything to ask for. I am just satisfied that the relationship I formed has germinated and bore fruit.

In fact, Jeong Joo-ho was classified as pro-Cheon Myung-guk, and there was continued speculation that he would gain great power over Cheon Myung-guk as he became a superman.

Someone said that Jeong Joo-ho could be used to reorganize the political world and train the next leader, but the content was so accurate that I thought it was Cheon Myeong-guk.

“And speaking of which…”

“You tell me.”

Despite being urged to take hesitating action, Jeong Joo-ho, who thought for a moment more, spoke with difficulty.

“It’s related to Dahyun. It has to do with my parents, my older brother and sister-in-law. “I heard that I will be going to America with Dahyun soon.”

“I plan to go. But that’s not the main purpose.”

They’re planning to handle it as well when they go to pick up the items that were supposed to be given to them in the US.

Jeong Joo-ho nodded, but did not erase his worried expression.

“If we go together, it will probably be a lot of trouble. “We have continuously worked hard to bring Dahyun back from the United States, and my brother and his wife will not sit still.”

“Are you afraid that I will use my hand?”

“no.”

Jeong Joo-ho shook his head resolutely and spoke to me with a determined expression.

“If you cross the line, you can use your hands. Instead, can you help me clearly understand the topic?”

“Do you understand the topic?”

“The gap between you and those people. And even the gap within that fence.”

“….”

It was a very unexpected statement.

* * *

The request that Joo-ho Jeong asked me was a very annoying one.

You secretly asked me a favor, saying you would listen carefully to what I say from now on.

After all, he is not an ordinary person.

I requested information from the Blue House about Jeong Da-hyun’s family relationships.

Jeong Da-hyun’s parents are said to be career-oriented and have a tendency to treat their children as their own. So, since Jeong Joo-ho was in the National Security Agency, he had been in conflict over requests, and when he chose to go to the United States, he ignored Jeong Da-hyun’s wishes and barely succeeded in leaving behind what he was trying to take.

What Jeong Joo-ho was worried about was if Jeong Da-hyun, who was doing well, stimulated her trauma and blocked her future path. He said that nothing had changed even after going to the United States, and he was sure that it would only be a hindrance to Jeong Da-hyun.

I answered that part like this.

“That is a problem that Dahyun Jeong will overcome.”

This is literally something that Dahyun Jeong needs to solve. If you can’t overcome something as trivial as that, it means that it was only at that level in the first place.

Dahyun Jeong also had the same thoughts as me.

“To me, my parents are like a wall. “I am confident that if I overcome this completely, I will be able to take one step forward.”

Dahyun Jeong said this on the plane to the United States.

Yes, the reason I help is to provide an opportunity. The rest is up to you. Since you have your own will, it’s not a big deal to worry about.

However, the unfortunate thing is that it takes quite a long time to get there by plane rather than a high-speed flight.

[Rather, isn’t it better to travel comfortably without getting hurt?]

Even if it’s a little painful, it’s better to save time.

[I don’t understand at all. Maybe other humans besides me don’t understand your thoughts?]

I guess Yongyong wanted to say that his thoughts were right.

The visit to the United States that I arrived at was quite different from my first visit.

At that time it was an unofficial visit, but now it is an official visit, so countless people came to meet us. The diplomat next to me seemed excited, saying it was an extravagant treatment that was not shown even to visiting presidents of other countries.

The reason they reacted this way was because Vice President Daniel Logan himself came forward.

Dahyun Jeong took a deep breath of the unfamiliar air and smiled brightly. It is a sight rarely seen.

“It’s nice to be welcomed.”

“It’s just annoying.”

“America is still America. “I think it feels good to be treated well by the most powerful country in the world.”

“is it.”

I don’t think this really resonated with me.

Is it because I’m an introvert?

Anyway, amidst the warm welcome, we moved to our residence.

Considering that the Vice President is particularly nice to Da-Hyun Jeong, is that really his purpose?

I went about my business, thinking that I would take care of everything.

It was only a few months ago, but LA had changed quite a bit. The frequent gunshots had disappeared, and the number of citizens wandering the streets had increased.

The city’s condition has changed quite a bit.

And the first thing that came to me the next day was a phantom.

He formally commissioned me.

“Please eliminate Leviathan.”
