The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity

Episode 345

It was surprising that the story of Shinsung Group came out of Cheon Myeong-guk’s mouth, and it was also surprising that he mentioned Lee Young-moon’s condition.

Is it because former President Jeon Han-cheol was not mentioned at all, or is it because something happened to the No. 1 business group?

It was quite unexpected content.

“Is your condition very bad?”

“There’s a half chance it won’t happen. “It has been reported that the condition has improved recently, but it appears to have been steadily worsening.”

“It’s in a bad state.”

When I saw Lee Young-moon, he didn’t seem to be in good condition. Although modern medicine was being used to maintain the condition of the body, it was in danger as if it would crumble at any moment. So I wasn’t surprised at all when I heard that he had collapsed.

However, there was something else I wanted to know.

“Why are you telling me this?”

“Chairman Lee Young-moon is not just a business magnate. As a conglomerate, he is the head of Shinsung Group, which ranks first in the business world, and the owner of Shinsung Guild, which ranks first among guilds. “He is the only person who can control the wealth and power of the Republic of Korea.”

“So is it a threat?”

“Of course. “In a place where the threat of monsters is real, having both wealth and military power is so dangerous that it would not be strange to use public power to dismantle the group.”

It is said that if I had not been there, the Republic of Korea would have become a Holy Republic.

Recently, Shinsung Group has been enjoying its peak, but the reason its influence is limited in the political world is because of my influence.

“Chairman Lee Young-moon was a person with a sense of stability. “It is no exaggeration to say that the Shinsung Group exists today because of him.”

“Isn’t Lee Se-hee’s performance great?”

“It provided the foundation for team leader Lee Se-hee to perform stably.”

“okay. Are you saying that he is a great person and that if someone of that level dies, a problem arises?”

“yes.”

“But I understand that the Shinsung Group succession structure is stable?”

Lee Se-chan, who had been showing his life in front of me without knowing the subject, became an idiot due to brainwashing. In fact, he was in a vegetative state, surviving only on life.

“But he’s alive.”

“Are you saying that breathing is a problem?”

“yes. It has only been three years since Executive Director Lee Se-chan, who was a strong successor, stepped down and Team Leader Lee Se-hee took over. “There is not enough time to solidify the succession structure.”

When you decide to deal with something, the surest thing to do is to stop breathing.

Even though you know that fact, you still use your hands immaturely. I felt like I still had a long way to go.

“So what do you want from me?”

“I hope the succession structure of Shinsung Group becomes clear.”

This was a request to me. It seems that Cheon Myung-guk does not want Shinsung Group to fall into chaos.

“I understand what you mean.”

“Please do me a favor.”

“Watch more.”

There is no need to blindly intervene just because it is the President’s request. I was going to weigh it on my own, listen to what was the best decision, and then decide.

* * *

Before going directly to Sehee Lee, I decided to explore the atmosphere inside Shinsung Group.

I had a younger brother who worked at the Holy Guild. When I got home and opened the door, he started pouring out words as if he had been waiting.

“Because it’s swarming behind Executive Director Lee Se-chan. “I think that if you buy time and delay, an opportunity can come.”

“Are you putting your hopes on a vegetable person?”

“Human medicine is also developing rapidly. Sometimes, people in a vegetative state make a miraculous recovery. “Currently, several drugs that can restore a vegetative state are being developed, but they are taking time until they are developed.”

He is not just in a vegetative state, but his mind is complicated by brainwashing.

It goes without saying, but turning it back is impossible.

This is something I have deliberately worked out and cannot solve even if a former cult leader comes. You can think of it as tens of thousands of wires twisted randomly.

Since they don’t know that, they probably think they can recover from a vegetative state.

It’s almost pathetic that you’re pinning your hopes on something in vain.

“Then what about Lee Se-hee’s faction?”

“It is mainly supported by working-level staff. However, in the president’s group, there are many people who lined up for Executive Director Lee Se-chan and there are many people who are trying to monitor the situation.”

“Without supporting Lee Se-hee?”

“I heard that some people support it, but the number is not large. Because Sehee wants the group to move quickly. In the process, many changes to the existing leadership are expected. “Who would obediently support someone who is trying to touch their own food bowl?”

It would not have mattered if several years had been given and changes had been made step by step under the leadership of Lee Young-moon.

However, Lee Young-moon’s sudden collapse meant that a strange balance was being achieved.

However, this does not mean that the situation is unfavorable to Lee Se-hee.

I think if you show a strong will, they will come over right away.

“So when are you going to intervene?”

“hmm?”

“What are you pretending not to know? You asked me because you plan to intervene in Shinsung Group’s affairs. “Do you think I said this without even knowing it and understanding it in detail?”

For some reason, he spoke in detail.

I guess I looked into Yunhee to help me in her own way.

“It’s pretty good.”

“Don’t change your mind. So what do you plan to do?”

“First, I have to meet Lee Se-hee and listen to her story.”

“You’re a lot more cautious than I thought, huh?”

“It’s okay for me to have a stable income. My business partner Sehee Lee probably has her own thoughts. “I just need to hear what the plan is and decide how it will affect my interests.”

As I said, I wanted Lee Se-hee, my trustworthy partner, to take control of Shinsung Group.

“Has it changed a lot? “There were already a lot of stories about my brother.”

“what?”

“It was said that if they made a mistake, they would attack right away and cut off Executive Director Se-chan Lee’s head. Did you know that as soon as Chairman Lee Young-moon collapsed, the number of Executive Director Lee Se-chan’s bodyguards increased fivefold? “The executive director, not the chairman, has more security guards.”

“That’s such a shame.”

“no way? “Is that really what you thought?”

“no.”

[I was completely caught?]

Well, if I had moved right away without delaying my decision, it would have ended up moving as expected.

Yunhee also seemed to not believe what I said and her eyes lit up.

“Do not lie. Even if you fool everyone else, you can’t fool me, right? That’s what you were thinking. “Am I right or wrong?”

“I’m coming to meet Lee Se-hee.”

“at there. Please answer my question first. Yah! Are you going to ignore it?”

I turned around and quietly left the house. Yunhee ran wild and screamed at me not to cause an accident. Then I’ll stop by next door.

Anyway, I don’t know who I resemble so much.

[If you look at them exactly like you, they probably resemble your parents. Anyone can see that they are brother and sister.]

That would make both me and Yoonhee feel bad.

[The biggest victims seem to be your parents.]

* * *

I quietly infiltrated Shinsung Group, leaving only a message that I would visit Lee Se-hee.

When I opened the office door and entered, I was greeted by a calm, subdued atmosphere rather than the usual confidence-filled atmosphere.

“welcome.”

Lee Se-hee’s expression as she greeted me was the same as usual, but I could feel that she was trying to keep her balance. Is it because his father has collapsed, or is he preparing for a power struggle that could be prolonged?

I’m not sure what it is.

One thing is clear: I didn’t feel any fatigue from the business trip to the United States.

“There were a lot of eyes watching, so I came in quietly.”

“Well done. “Everyone’s eyes have turned red because they already thought Junho was going to come visit me.”

“What will you do if they watch you with bloodshot eyes?”

“It is a natural instinct for people to protect their own interests. You can’t blame them. “I didn’t promise them any benefit.”

“Originally, humanity was a series of struggles to possess more things. “If you don’t need people in your era, you can just get rid of them.”

“My father hasn’t passed away yet.”

“What is Chairman Lee Young-moon’s condition?”

“…The medical staff is doing their best to help with recovery.”

Although it was difficult to get the word out, many hopeful observations were conveyed.

If emotions are mixed when observing a situation, it is difficult to see clearly.

“It sounds like you’re trying hard, but it’s not working.”

“It’s a difficult situation to say things are good. However, my father overcame difficulties regardless of the situation and achieved the group that it is today. “I believe my father will rise again.”

“In the realm of faith, I understand what you’re saying is that you hope it happens, but you should prepare for the worst.”

“Junho, you think negatively.”

“That way, we can respond no matter what happens. “Everything you have achieved is at stake.”

The share each person holds is not important.

There is only one winner. And it was a structure where the winner took everything.

“Chairman Lee Young-moon may recover well and wake up, but he may not. “When that situation arises, the calculations become very complicated.”

The more you try to unravel things, the more complicated things become. The simplest way to resolve complicated tangles is to cut them off with a single knife.

Lee Se-hee immediately understood what I meant.

“I don’t want to kill my brother.”

“You want to keep making things complicated?”

“I know very well how heartless wealth and power are. But my father hasn’t passed away yet.”

At least it means that there won’t be any physical strife while the parents are still alive.

The sooner a decision is made in this case, the better.

“Can’t you trust me and watch over me for this matter?”

“…..”

“Please do me a favor.”

It’s an easy road to take if you just deal with Lee Se-chan. I guess Lee Se-hee isn’t ready for that yet.

“If you say so, I can’t help it.”

“thank you. “I will come up with an answer as quickly as possible.”

“I can’t wait long.”

“yes!”

Seeing Lee Se-hee answer brightly, I quenched my appetite, said goodbye, and went out.

Yongyong, who was quietly watching, said.

[I guess there is something strong about the affection between blood relatives.]

That can’t be possible. Lee Se-hee doesn’t want to get rid of Lee Se-chan, even if it means using her own hands. You probably think that you can overcome this situation with your own abilities.

In my view, it was an overly optimistic judgment about the situation.

[Of course it’s not easy. Think about it from your perspective too. Would you be able to treat your younger brother mercilessly?]

The comparison was wrong in the first place.

I already have everything I want, so why bother dealing with Yunhee? You just have to let him do whatever he wants.

If I put my mind to it, I can create a company the size of Shinsung Group.

I don’t have the skills to run it, though.

[You’re just comparing.]

That’s not possible.

[Then change the situation and your parents and younger brother are in danger! Then who are you going to save?]

Yongyong seems to want me to abandon someone.

First of all, my choice is obviously my parents.

Then he pushed me as if he had been waiting for me.

[Abandoning your younger brother?]

That can’t be possible. Yoon-hee will be saved by the dog.

[Why does he come out all of a sudden?]

That’s why I trained him to do that in the first place. In times like this, if you don’t use it, where else can you use that insect eater?

[He’s a very strong assassin, right?]

At least he’s at human level.

To deal with a dog, a superhuman higher than Berserker would be needed, but how many such superhumans are there in the world?

[There are two such superhumans!]

Even if there are only two of them, it won’t be easy to catch the dog. He’s been beaten consistently by me, so he’s probably the strongest among the plus levels.

[profit! Then three! If there are three, it will be hard to handle.]

I don’t know why he thinks the doggo will fight back. I told him that if he felt it was too much to deal with, he should grab Yoonhee and run away.

No matter how strong a superhuman is, if he doesn’t have high-speed flight like me, he wouldn’t even dare to chase after a running dog.

Crucially, if that number enters the country, it will inevitably be noticeable.

All I have to do is plan a plan and find them before they attack and blow off their heads.

[You’re just comparing! Oh, I really can’t communicate!]

Yongyong, who had been endlessly creating situations, was furious.

Okay, okay. But what were you talking about that brought you all the way here?
