The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity

Episode 366:

A year has passed since the League, which had been growing in power as if it would swallow up the entire world, disappeared and Choi Jun-ho, a superman called the world’s strongest, disappeared.

Meanwhile, the world was busy dealing with the aftermath.

The villains who lost control of the league began to run wild without any clue, and even countries that had taken power due to the league were swept away by the wave of opposition and suffered the measles.

Among them, someone expanded their power by claiming to be the second league.

It was suppressed shortly afterwards.

Amid this chaos, the world began a movement to clean up the remnants of the League.

The villain was subdued step by step and the rampaging monster was hunted. There were trials and errors in the process, but at least there were no worries that the discriminatory league would dominate the world.

That’s what it looks like on the outside.

Now that the common enemy known as the League has disappeared and the world’s strongest superhuman who unleashed indiscriminate violence has disappeared, there has been endless conflict over the new order.

It was also the reason James Reed was having trouble.

“There is no reason to go back this far.”

“You’re the one who came here to ask for advice, Arnold.”

“I thought you would give me more productive advice.”

“….”

James Reed furrowed his brows as he looked at the man who looked rather disappointed.

Arnold Hauser, a handsome man in his early 40s with an impressive angular face, will become the U.S. ambassador to Korea in a few days.

South Korea is an indispensable partner for the United States. The fact that Arnold, who was in his early 40s, was in charge of the dialogue for such a place meant that his ability was outstanding.

But he had a crucial flaw.

The point of view of the Republic of Korea is fixed on the lower-level alliance partners in the past.

President Herbert and Vice President Daniel are still friendly to the Republic of Korea. However, those working under him put forward the idea that the unfair contract signed with South Korea during the Head Breaker era should be corrected.

That’s right, hardliners in the U.S. think Headbreaker is dead.

“Headbreaker is dead Macho Man.”

“Why do you think he’s dead?”

“Given his personality, there is no way he wouldn’t show up for a year if he were alive. Headbreakers don’t stand for anything. “If he were alive, he would immediately try to make his presence known to the outside world.”

That wasn’t particularly wrong. If you look at the analysis by the intelligence department and other places, there are many parts that are consistent with what Arnold said.

But James Reed also thinks this way.

That terrifying figure is dead?

Although it was an emotional evaluation, unlike the evaluation of him being called the world’s best brain, James Reed thought that Choi Jun-ho could not have died.

Rather, I would have waited to see how these would come out while recovering from my injury.

“And if it shows up unexpectedly, the necks of those who have been doing such nonsense will be twisted.”

“There’s no way you could approach it clumsily enough to cause concern, right?”

“He is not fooled by the well-packaged packaging. Just check the contents inside. “What you were trying to do is an area that a head breaker would immediately notice.”

“You’re scared.”

“….”

He said this to hurt the superhuman’s pride, but since it was true, he had nothing to say.

“With the League gone and Headbreaker gone, the world must face a new order. It is we who must stand at the center. There is an annoying internal enemy called the party, but we are willing to talk if it is mutually beneficial. Korea also does not have Head Breaker, but since it has Berserker, it can be treated as a great partner.”

“It’s not wrong.”

“Now we have to adapt to the new order.”

Arnold spoke passionately. James Reed, who watched the scene for a moment, took a step back.

“I still think Headbreaker is not dead. But you have a point, so I can’t stop you any further.”

“There will be nothing to worry about.”

“Instead, you should take responsibility.”

“Of course. Instead, the balls are all mine.”

“I clearly warned you.”

“Just wait and see. We will quickly erase the shadow of Headbreaker and claim our former glory.”

After leaving his energetic words, Arnold turned and left.

“Is Junho really dead? … It’s so confusing.”

I made many assumptions, but I couldn’t picture him dying.

* * *

“It’s been a year.”

“It’s been a year.”

“At this level, there could be misunderstandings.”

“It’s actually serious.”

Inside the Blue House, Berserker and Cheon Myeong-guk quietly had tea time.

Although it was not a suitable scene at all, several changes occurred after the League subjugation operation.

Berserker was still a superhuman on Choi Jun-ho’s team, but when Choi Jun-ho disappeared, he took on the job several times in his place, and in the process formed a close relationship with the Blue House.

“Is it still full of annoying guys these days?”

“It’s not that annoying.”

“If our president would say that, it wouldn’t be so annoying.”

“haha.”

“Who is it?”

“You can think of it as almost anywhere.”

When Choi Jun-ho first disappeared, there was no particular reaction from those around him.

As the Hell Master’s body was found in the last location and disappeared, it was said that his injuries were serious and he was trying to focus on recovery.

But as a month, half a year, and a year passed, the reaction began to change.

The possibility of Choi Jun-ho’s death, who showed horrendous inaction that transcended humanity, was gradually being discussed.

It began to manifest itself as a change in attitude toward Korea.

China, which had been torn apart by repeated attacks, began to exercise blatant control, and Japan, which had been lying flat on its face, was gradually raising its voice.

And even in the United States, there was a movement to treat them as subordinate partners rather than equal partners.

If one place is doing exceptionally well, it will inevitably be subject to checks.

So far, due to the presence of Choi Jun-ho, there was no room for the check to break through, but as a year passed, those thoughts seemed to be slowly raising their heads.

Berserker quenched his appetite.

“It’s a shame. “If I had as much strength as him, I would have crushed all his heads.”

“You are still giving me great strength. “In fact, I think it is a slower movement than expected.”

“Why?”

“That is why the fear of Superhuman Choi Jun-ho was deeply imprinted in me.”

“Well, if you’ve ever been hurt by that guy, it’s even stranger that the wound heals quickly. Still raising your head after a year? It’s too fast. “It will take at least three years.”

However, people in the world see only what they want to see and think only what they want to think.

“You probably want to believe that. On the other hand, giving it to us would be painful.”

That’s the way everything happens in the world. No one in the forces trying to keep the Republic of Korea in check wants the power structure to be centered around the Republic of Korea.

“But we still need to take measures, right?”

“Of course there are measures.”

“Can I ask?”

“It’s not difficult. I just sent a warning to those who crossed the line and asked how they would handle Choi Jun-ho’s return. “Everyone became quiet and then retreated.”

“what? Hahahaha! “It’s the surest way.”

“This medicine will also develop resistance. However, I believe that Superhuman Choi Jun-ho will return, so even if I develop resistance, I will try to use it as much as possible and hold on.”

“Then I guess I should go for a walk north.”

“yes?”

“I heard a lot of unidentified people are crossing the Yalu River and Duman River these days? At first glance, it’s a work of improvement, but it’s something that can’t just be ignored, right?”

It was already one of the things that gave Cheon Myeong-guk the most trouble these days.

It was safe to say that not only there but all surrounding factors were exerting pressure.

“thank you.”

“I’m just paying for the way I’m being treated these days. And I need to warn him not to act rashly until he returns.”

He jokingly said that the reaction of the trampled people would be more interesting that way.

That’s what I said, but if it wasn’t for Berserker, the situation would have been even more difficult.

Cheon Myeong-guk repeatedly expressed his gratitude.

* * *

“…It’s not easy.”

Even after Berserker returned, the worry did not leave Cheon Myeong-guk’s face.

The situation was getting worse by the minute.

One by one, places began to appear where they were convinced that the league had disappeared and Choi Jun-ho, who had played a role as a strong deterrent that maintained order, had disappeared.

And they were crossing the line at high speed. They may have thought they were controlling the speed, but in Cheon Myeong-guk’s eyes, they were sprinting at full speed out of fear of losing the player.

“Well, they must have done some research, so they must have confidence in the current situation.”

If Choi Jun-ho was safe, there’s no way he wouldn’t show up until now.

That was the result from Cheon Myeong-guk’s simulation. Regardless of whether you believe in him or not, the fact that he has not been seen so far means that there is a high possibility that there is a problem with his identity.

It’s a fact that I don’t want to believe, but as President of the Republic of Korea, Myeong-guk Cheon had to take measures in case Choi Jun-ho disappeared.

Let’s assume that Choi Jun-ho disappears right now.

If that happens, the Republic of Korea will have to give up the overwhelming superpower status it has enjoyed so far.

There was a Berserker who rose to the rank of a teenager by killing a black hound, but he was not officially a member of the nation. Meanwhile, China, divided into South and North, is strengthening its internal stability, and Japan has also regained its strength with the appearance of two new superhumans.

The status of a regional power that cannot compete with any of the neighboring countries and that of a country that is in conflict in all neighboring countries is bound to be different. Because Choi Jun-ho was there, all complaints were suppressed, but in a situation where he is gone, disputes are inevitable.

Here to America and the party.

Since they are the ones who made concessions due to Choi Jun-ho, they will rush to steal the principal plus interest.

“…It’s a pain in the ass.”

Pressing his temples against the pounding headache, Cheon Myeong-guk was busy coming up with a solution.

But in the end, it starts with Choi Jun-ho and ends with Choi Jun-ho.

The only way to solve this problem is for the missing Choi Jun-ho to reappear.

“It’s a problem when it’s there and a problem when it’s not there.”

What you need to do now is to believe that you will return safely and not be shaken.

Cheon Myeong-guk burst out laughing at his continued presence even in situations where people said he might have died.

* * *

Cheon Myeong-guk said it as if it was no big deal, but the area around Yalu River and Sinuiju had recently been engulfed in tension reminiscent of war.

“All the hybrids are going wild just because he’s away.”

Even though the border was drawn and cracked down thoroughly, it was impossible to monitor the border with all of our might.

Taking advantage of that opportunity, a situation occurred where people from the northern army were forced to sit down.

The Republic of Korea took action to kick them out as soon as they were caught, but the problem is that there are awakened people among them.

The situation was getting worse out of control as several awakened people died in a situation where they were not prepared for it.

The problem is that the North Korean military is turning a blind eye to this situation. However, not being able to ask for cooperation could have provided an excuse for the North Korean army to advance south.

Berserker went to Sinuiju and assessed the situation and began cleaning mercilessly.

All the villagers who settled illegally were driven out to the north.

In the process, those who rebelled had their limbs broken by Berserker, and those who crossed the line met their end by having their necks twisted or their heads crushed.

At first, the Northern army seemed to be watching this situation quietly. However, when the number of people killed or driven out by Berserker exceeded the thousand mark and was about to reach the ten thousand mark, an unusual intervention was taken.

It was Wei Hao, the head of the Northern Army, who stepped forward to deal with Berserker.

The atmosphere was filled with suffocating tension due to the sudden appearance of the absolute leader of the Northern Army, which had been pushing for overwhelming inaction.

“You caught a big catch.”

Berserker, who even defeated Black Hound, showed his will to kill Yu Hao.

Yu Hao, who shed that momentum with a calm expression, opened his mouth.

“Isn’t it better to resolve it appropriately?”

“You have a troublesome face. Did you have a hard time? “What a familiar face.”

“….”

Yu Hao, who was originally plump, had lost weight in a short period of time and had a sharp and nervous appearance.

Berserker’s provocation continued.

“It’s getting old. “Is that what happens when you seize power?”

Yu Hao’s eyes became cold.

“…Know that with Choi Jun-ho gone, this country, including you, can be wiped out at any time.”

“You’re talking as if he’s dead. “Do you really think that?”

“Is he alive?”

“He is alive.”

It was a statement filled with confidence, without a single hesitation.

Yu Hao, who paused for a moment, spoke.

“There is no evidence anywhere.”

“Even without evidence, I can know. He will come back. And now, after seeing your actions, they will do it.”

What comes after that will be a merciless purge.

Is it because the words were filled with confidence?

Wei Hao’s momentum eased.

“Consider yourself lucky. I had no intention of making a big deal out of it.”

“Kkeke, I want to test how far my luck goes.”

“Don’t think you’ll get that lucky next time.”

Yu Hao turned and walked away, as if he didn’t want to deal with him any more.

Berserker, who was staring at the scene, muttered softly.

“And I will be killed by him, not you.”

I wish everyone would forget about full recovery, but Berserker himself knew very well that that would not happen.
