Chapter 352
Episode 352:
There is no darkness without reason.
It’s one of the words I hate the most.
If there are 10,000 people in the world, there are 10,000 stories. And each of them clung to me, saying their story was special.
Every time, I didn’t listen and ended up smashing his head.
Even after returning to normal from the hematoma that had driven me crazy, that tendency did not change.
but.
This time, I couldn’t help but be quite surprised.
The reason why Jeong Joo-ho’s expression was dark was not simply because he was being held captive and abused by Cheon Myeong-guk.
If it was because of Jeong Da-hyun in front of me, it was entirely possible.
“Uncle? “I don’t really know because we haven’t talked much.”
“Do you need a reason?”
“The why is important.”
“okay?”
“Yes, it changes the person itself. “Look at me.”
“I understand.”
“Yes?”
In some ways, Jeong Da-hyun is also a person who can be said to be of a different kind.
It was an unexpected development that she, who was originally a defender of justice, came to hate villains and devote herself to hunting monsters.
[Isn’t he the epitome of a very good human being?]
You could see it that way.
However, I was called a genius for influencing the people around me with my presence, and as my thoughts changed, it became no longer strange to be called a special kind.
So, is he some kind of genius?
[No matter how much I heard it, it didn’t sound like a compliment.]
No matter how much Yongyong disparaged it, my words contained the meaning of praise.
[It’s never a good thing.]
“I guess the story about your uncle isn’t important.”
Yes. No matter how Jung Joo-ho feels, what matters now is what kind of results Jung Da-hyun has achieved.
I congratulated Dahyun Jeong.
“Congratulations on becoming a superhuman.”
“I haven’t passed the test yet.”
“In my opinion, he is no less than a superhuman.”
Then you are a superhuman.
Just as you don’t become a superman overnight just because someone weaker than you gives you qualifications.
“thank you.”
Dahyun Jeong, whom we saw today, proved to the world that she has reached a level where she can claim to be a superhuman.
Compared to my last life, the speed of progress was unbelievable and amazing.
I’m happy that I made a person out of the stuffy paleo diet.
“Now I can go somewhere and not get beaten up.”
“It’s still not enough. “There are too many strong people in the world to be satisfied with becoming a superman.”
“Your uncle seems quite satisfied.”
“Each person has their own direction they pursue. I think my uncle can be quite satisfied with being rid of his terrible hair loss. “He was really distressed.”
It seems like the pain of hair loss was something Jung Da-hyun couldn’t hide.
I can’t sympathize with this story at all because it’s so far from me.
[Then what do you think if you lose your hair?]
That’s nonsense.
Something like that will never happen again. So don’t talk nonsense.
[You don’t want to lose your hair too?]
Are you going to fight now?
[The reaction is harsh. Or maybe not.]
Yongyong, who was grumbling, dropped his voice and gave advice to Dahyun Jeong.
“It is important to set goals. “Same goes for you.”
“me too?”
“Yes, there are cases where things become stagnant the moment you become satisfied.”
“I don’t think I’m satisfied yet. “I’m thirsty.”
“okay?”
“yes.”
Jeong Da-hyun’s eyes sparkled.
“Still, I think we achieved the desired results.”
“You’re the only one who can say that about becoming a superhuman.”
“I see. So is it done now?”
“what?”
“Do you have the skills to follow my brother, who will soon be going to South America?”
[Wow, he also hung out with a crazy person and became toxic. Did you really become a superhuman just to follow along?]
“….”
It was unexpected for me as well.
I closed my mouth.
* * *
[I’m asking you so earnestly, but do you think it’s okay to listen to it?]
Jeong Da-hyun’s request was ultimately rejected. In a situation where even Berserker couldn’t decide whether to take Jeong Da-hyun, he didn’t even consider taking it.
“It is not time yet. And it’s time for further development.”
[That would put him at the highest level among humans. I think you reacted too sharply.]
“I just said what I had to say. Dahyun Jeong can develop further in a stable environment.”
Now that you have survived a sufficiently dangerous environment and have become a superhuman, you must pursue stable development based on that experience.
[I don’t think that’s what that person wants.]
Otherwise, what can I do? That’s what I want. But that doesn’t mean you can just leave it alone, so it’s okay.
Instead of going together, I told them to attack other bases in the league to divert attention.
Jeong Da-hyun, who asked repeatedly, eventually gave up and chose to accept my offer.
It is a happy ending for everyone.
[She would never think that way.]
If that’s the case, it can’t be helped.
[That’s cool. Well, it’s probably the best decision for that person. Well done.]
“Okay.”
This is it. Both Jeong Da-hyun and I just have to do our best in our respective positions.
But why?
We all couldn’t help but laugh even though we had become superhumans, something that was so difficult to achieve.
[Humans are such tiring beings.]
Don’t worry, humans aren’t the only ones like this.
Yongyong, you are tired enough.
Of all the gods I’ve seen, you were overwhelmingly number one.
[Why am I tired? There has never been a divine beast that adjusted to humans like this before!]
If you want to boast about it, just adjust more in the future.
But is it possible?
[I guess you want to see me die from a fire disease.]
Humans don’t die easily, but Shinsu will endure better.
I have strong faith in you, so don’t worry.
[Please don’t worry!]
After a bit of a fight, Yongyong and I moved towards Korea University, where James Reed was.
[Why is that person suddenly acting like that? Normally, when he’s doing his research, he doesn’t even answer when you call him.]
“He said he had something to say.”
[Surprising? Aren’t you the kind of person who will obey when called?] I
heard that the party brought a new proposal, so I’m just going to listen to it. I guess I should at least listen to what they are saying.
The car I was driving headed toward Korea University.
* * *
James Reed looked at the man neatly dressed in a luxurious suit.
His clean-cut appearance, like something you’d see on Wall Street, doesn’t give the impression of strength at all, but behind it all, he has a ruthless spirit and a cunning tongue.
The superhuman, resourceful, and core talent of the party was always greedy as if he would devour the world, so James Reed could never like him.
Even though he knew that well, the man greeted me with a soft smile.
“It’s been a while, Macho Man.”
“Rico Royce.”
“Didn’t you ask me to call you Rico or Rick? “I think that’s quite possible between us.”
“I don’t feel like it.”
“It’s such a shame.”
Seeing the guy with a sad expression, James Reed became more alert.
He was that kind of man from the beginning.
He did not choose any means or methods to deal with others according to his will.
Even that sad expression was just a means to lead this situation.
“Is there any reason for you to come here?”
“It was both a business and a business. “It happened to be in the party’s interests, and I wanted to find out what Macho Man was trying to study by staying in Korea.”
“You are not qualified.”
“It’s still rude. “It’s better to show what you have to show in a reasonable way.”
“Because I don’t like it.”
“Please don’t hate it too much. From this time on, haven’t the interests of both us and the U.S. government become closer? “What I’m trying to do is to be of great help to America.”
“So you came all this way to persuade Junho?”
“I wanted to see someone who was well-known.”
“If you think you can handle it as you wish, you are mistaken.”
Thinking that you can lead people in the direction you want. This is a common misconception among intelligent and talented people.
But it can’t be easy.
James Reed gave advice with sincerity, but Rico Royce’s response was lukewarm.
“I have no intention of doing that at all. So, you can rest assured.”
“Do you think I can believe you?”
“I thought we had built up a relationship of trust after working together for a long time, but I guess I still can’t trust them. “It’s sad.”
“Don’t try to do something stupid to Junho. “I’m saying this for you, not for Junho.”
“I really have no other intentions. “I just wanted to see a head breaker.”
Rico Royce raised his hands and declared his innocence.
Even that seemingly sincere appearance could not be trusted at all by James Reed.
“Instead, I think we can gently push what the other person wants from behind.”
I knew it.
He came all the way to Korea for this purpose. Perhaps Phantom thought it was worth at least encouraging him from the side.
This could be seen as a sign that he trusts the man in front of him to that extent.
“Let me make one thing clear. “I warned you.”
“As long as you don’t get in the way, I’ll think you’ve shown enough sincerity. And doesn’t this benefit you too? “Both from the perspective of researchers and supporters of the U.S. government.”
He says he is right until the end.
After all, you have no choice but to face it and experience it in person.
And you will realize.
I never thought meeting Choi Jun-ho, who was always accompanied by anxiety, would feel comfortable now that I was in the position of a third party.
James Reed’s twisted mouth was similar to Berserker’s.
“I don’t interfere, I just watch.”
* * *
I came to see James Reed, but there was an uninvited guest sitting in front of me.
“It’s an honor to meet you, Headbreaker. “My name is Rico Royce, a United States superhuman and member of the party.”
A middle-aged blond man with slicked-back hair is greeting me. It was such a graceful action that one could feel the elegance of the action.
The fact that she introduced herself as Lois probably meant that she was of German descent. In fact, if you look at his appearance, he looked so similar that you could think he was old Franz’s son.
Are Germans really like that?
Anyway, I didn’t really like this guy.
“This is Junho Choi.”
“How could you not know the most famous person in the world today? “I’ve wanted to meet you for a long time, but we couldn’t make it, so I’m finally able to meet you now.”
If you just listen to what you say, it sounds like you love me passionately. However, I was not impressed because this kind of talk only comes from scammers.
Instead, I just stared at him, wondering if he was doing some trick.
People usually feel embarrassed when things like this happen, but the guy seemed to have no such feelings and continued talking like a mountain stream.
“I have come to help you, the Adept.”
“Help?”
“yes. I heard that you would like to use this opportunity to head to South America to organize the league. “I think we can help you with this.”
“Let’s hear it.”
“yes.”
Rico Royce began explaining what he could provide for my party when I headed to South America.
It was South America’s spiderweb-like infrastructure and Humint that had been built through Morian.
In fact, it was said that only the body should come.
As if that wasn’t a lie, Jolaman just watched quietly without any response.
“There are so many things we can do for you. “We will provide everything without any selflessness.”
It’s been a while since I’ve seen this guy who’s good at teasing his tongue.
I think I need to make one thing clear.
“It doesn’t seem like you are selfless.”
“yes?”
“If the league is eliminated, the party will benefit the most. “If the league that opened the Atlantic Ocean and took over South America disappears, won’t there be no enemies standing in the way of the party?”
A slight crack appeared in Rico Royce’s expression and then was stitched up.
No matter how good a guy is with his mouth, when he finally reveals his true nature, he gets the same reaction as now.
“Haha, there are results that naturally follow. And this is also related to the world situation that will be reorganized in the future. The party is a friend and supporter of Head Breaker and will provide its full support.”
As expected, it was a party.
I thought so.
He wouldn’t be able to do something like this if it weren’t for the insane pride he had in claiming to rule the world.
“What is your position in the party?”
“It’s too much, but I’m in charge of the external cooperation department.”
I don’t know much about organizations, but I know one thing.
When it comes to external cooperation and overall management, the real power is in his hands.
“Actually, I’m the second person in the party.”
“Not to that extent.”
I stepped back, pretending it wasn’t happening, but it wasn’t difficult to figure out how the situation was going.
And I have dealt with this type of person through and through.
Those who hide their own interests and emphasize the interests of others.
Among what I just said, there are facts that were not disclosed.
“I understand that your wish for the league to disappear is sincere.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
“But you don’t talk about the part that benefits the most from the party.”
“What do you mean….”
“Me and the League’s mutual destruction.”
No matter how much you spin it, isn’t that the essence in the end?
The guy jumped at my point.
“Absolutely not!”
“It’s really not true? Can you risk your life to answer that?”
“I think you’ve misunderstood something…”
After a moment of silence, the words flowed out smoothly.
But that was enough to understand the intention.
While he was trying to persuade me, which is what I do best, I started doing what I do best, which is attack.
