The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity

Episode 368

Lee Se-hee, who became the chairman of Shinsung Group, had to spend her days so busy that she couldn’t come to her senses while trying to adapt to the rapidly changing world situation.

World peace will not come just because the League, a villain organization that threatened countries around the world, disappears.

Rather, after the league disappeared, the world fell into greater confusion, and the confusion was likely to worsen.

At the center of this was Choi Jun-ho, who appeared like a comet and then disappeared without a trace.

“The surrounding air currents are unusual, Chairman.”

What brought Lee Se-hee, who was lost in thought, back to reality was the chief secretary’s deeply subdued voice.

“Where is it?”

“Everywhere we do business is moving in unison. The worst place is….”

“It would be China. Both Union and Confederate forces.”

“That’s right.”

Shinsung Group was currently in a difficult situation.

Meanwhile, Shinsung Group maintained a close relationship with Choi Jun-ho, and was able to go beyond being number one in the business world and take over the position of a global company that disappeared after the era of monsters.

However, with Choi Jun-ho disappearing, cracks were forming in the strong walls.

Among them, the most blatant one is a divided China.

China, which is divided into four parts, is still in sharp conflict between South and North Korea.

What they have in common is that they are all hostile to Shinsung Group.

“We ate a lot.”

Among them, the Southern Army, which insisted on an orthodox government, was openly showing its hostility toward the Shinsung Group.

“It looks like the bill is coming.”

“That’s right.”

“That’s a lot of attention. In the past, I would have rushed in at any cost.”

“yes. “We are not letting go of even a small possibility.”

The chief secretary expressed agreement.

From the Confederate Army’s point of view, the Shinsung Group was a subject that could be easily chewed over.

If it weren’t for her, who played a big role behind the scenes during the civil war, Sichuan Province, centered on Hong Kong and the western part of the Confederacy, commonly known as Guangdong Province, would never have become independent.

Nevertheless, the fact that they are still not taking action means that they have not ruled out the possibility that Choi Jun-ho is alive.

Even in a situation where it is expected that he is dead, his presence still remains.

I thought it was really great.

Could someone like this appear again? There won’t be.

“President.”

“Please speak.”

However, the chief secretary looked perplexed, as if he had difficulty opening his mouth.

“How about we prepare for Choi Jun-ho’s death?”

“Superman Choi Jun-ho is not dead.”

“I feel the same way. But I think there must be a reason why someone like him hasn’t shown up yet.”

“You’re not wrong.”

“More than anything, it’s noisy outside.”

Lee Se-hee’s brow furrowed slightly.

“Is this an outside story again?”

“…It is reported that meetings have become noticeably more frequent these days.”

Choi Jun-ho’s death shook Lee Se-hee, who had just taken office as chairman of Shinsung Group.

Although he was said to be Lee Young-moon’s only bloodline, the number of his relatives was still large. It was natural for them to set their sights on Shinsung Group, the overwhelming number one business in Korea.

However, this did not happen when Choi Jun-ho was alive. On the contrary, it almost felt like they were busy hiding to avoid being seen by him.

Compared to that desire, what I have endured over the past year has been an incredible feat.

“If we continue to cause trouble internally like this, we will become a threat to the Chairman.”

“What does the manager think?”

“We have to compromise.”

This is the Chief Secretary’s suggestion for the stability of the group.

However, Lee Se-hee, who knew what that ‘compromise’ meant, frowned.

“Are you talking about marriage again?”

“It seems like they want to achieve stability rather than waiting for a missing person.”

“What do you think, Manager?”

“…I personally think it’s better to accept the offer.”

“….”

Lee Se-hee sighed. It wasn’t the answer I wanted at all.

The chief secretary also spoke without backing down.

“Currently, all of the Chairman’s policies are being pursued in the direction of ensuring that Superhuman Choi Jun-ho is alive.”

“Because it’s alive.”

“People are increasingly assuming that he may be dead. “In fact, the pressure from each country is increasing on the group that does not accept the compromise.”

“When he comes back, everything will be back to normal.”

“People in the world do not have the same faith as you. As we don’t know when Superhuman Choi Jun-ho will return, the damage to the group will increase. That is….”

Lee Se-hee also knew what the next words were.

It means your position is in jeopardy.

“But if Superhuman Choi Jun-ho returns, my position will be stronger than ever.”

“That is correct.”

“Others may not know, but my belief in him is firm. So, Director, please trust me and support me. “I reject all strange suggestions.”

Fortunately, the stocks he owned and the stocks held by Choi Jun-ho’s acquaintances served as a strong support.

“…I will do as you command.”

The chief secretary seemed to have something left to say, but he seemed to have felt that if he said more, he would have crossed the line, so he quietly retreated.

“ha.”

Lee Se-hee, who was left alone, sighed deeply.

I covered my face with both hands and tried to relieve the overwhelming pressure.

It was hard.

In front of the chief secretary, he maintained his cool and unwavering under any pressure, but it was not easy to withstand the constant attacks coming from inside and outside.

He didn’t hesitate to say bitter things, but what the chief secretary said was right. At this point, we had to take action to manage risks and ensure stable management.

Nevertheless, the reason I persevered was because of my faith in Choi Jun-ho.

He never dies.

I am confident because I have been watching from the side.

However, since she is also a human being, she felt difficult due to the pressure that was applied at every moment.

Still, we have to endure it. I believed that the reward for faith would be sweet.

Nevertheless, because she is also human, there were times when she faltered.

“I wish I had blind faith like Dahyun.”

At times like this, I envied Jeong Da-hyun.

It would have been more comfortable if he had a faith that could seem blind to him as well.

“Would it have been different if I had become a superhuman?”

Se-hee Lee felt both envy and jealousy as she watched her friend, who had been taking one step two steps ahead, advance further.

Although I met Choi Jun-ho around the same time, there is a difference in my faith in him.

I thought I also had a strong faith, but when I looked at Jeong Da-hyun, it felt like it was no big deal.

If this happens, other areas will also fall behind.

Sehee Lee looked at the documents of a case that occurred near Brunei not long ago.

Although it is an incident that has nothing to do with the group’s work, it is personally relevant to her.

This is because it is presumed that Choi Jun-ho did it.

It’s not like I’ve been quietly waiting for Choi Jun-ho for the past year. She was looking for Choi Jun-ho by mobilizing all of the group’s information networks.

The Blue House also actively cooperated here.

President Cheon Myeong-guk, who had a private meeting with him once, said that with this evidence, he could claim that Choi Jun-ho is alive.

If you can buy time with that, it’s a benefit.

Lee Se-hee also carried out the same operation, but the company, which was much more sensitive to profits, demanded more evidence and certainty.

Still, there was a harvest.

Below that, in the past year, there have been major accidents that seem to have been caused by divine beasts or plus-plus level monsters.

What these cases have in common is that no traces of the main culprit were found, and they were all aimed at the villain.

“It’s definitely Junho.”

Lee Se-hee was convinced that this incident was carried out by Choi Jun-ho.

At first, the possibility of confirmation bias was not ruled out. However, even if we put aside our personal feelings and look at it again and again, this is something that could not have been done by anyone other than Choi Jun-ho.

“As long as you come back…”

Lee Se-hee recalled the faces that had made it difficult for her.

Relatives on the inside and competing companies on the outside shook it up.

In particular, the movements of American companies that lost market share due to the Big Bang series were unusual.

There was talk recently that the hawks were on the move.

These are all things that will be swept away when Choi Jun-ho returns.

But waiting is a different matter.

Whenever I feel like I am struggling, I look into related materials.

“If you’re going to leave like this, leave at least one child behind. No, that went too far.”

slap!

As the strange delusions continued, Lee Se-hee tapped her cheek with her palm and gathered her will once again.

Choi Jun-ho will definitely come back.

* * *

The place that became most ambiguous after Choi Jun-ho’s disappearance was Choi Jun-ho’s team.

For the first three months, Jin Se-jung endured by encouraging his teammates, confident that Choi Jun-ho would survive. During that period, I was quite busy, creating an image for Choi Jun-ho.

However, as time passed and Choi Jun-ho did not show up, the team’s very existence began to tremble in jeopardy.

Without the help of Berserker and Lee Se-hee and Jeong Da-hyeon, it would have disintegrated in the air without a trace.

It was Yoon-hee who became an unexpected ally to Jin Se-jeong, who was at a loss.

One day, she appeared at the office and asked Jin Se-jeong to keep the team together until the end.

“Anyway…”

“Hey, what do you think? It’s not my money, it’s my brother’s money. and.”

Yunhee stopped talking and spoke in a strong tone to Jin Sejeong.

“My brother would like that too. Are you going to tell me why you treated me like a dead person and disbanded a healthy team when I was alive and well? “The team leader may have to take responsibility later.”

“I could take that responsibility a million times over.”

“Huh? “I didn’t mean it that way…”

“I’m joking too.”

Jin Se-jeong, who had been losing her will to fight, was able to regain her strength thanks to Yoon-hee’s support.

As the saying goes, Choi Jun-ho is not dead. Even though she is not an awakened person, Jin Se-jeong knows Choi Jun-ho’s strength better than anyone else, and she also knows his influence.

I felt like it was a waste of what I had done so far to retreat like this, and it was a shame that I would have been able to counterattack when Choi Jun-ho returned safely.

Since I have been beaten so far, shouldn’t I pay back at least a thousand times more?

Yunhee, who was listening quietly, looked bored.

“No matter what, it’s a thousand times more….”

“That’s the spirit of the head breaker.”

“Will anyone survive?”

“You don’t have to have it. That way, you won’t make the same mistake next time.”

“….”

I felt like I was peeking into why Choi Jun-ho and Jin Se-jeong got along so well.

“But looking at the team leader, I don’t see the slightest thought that my brother may have done anything wrong.”

“You’re saying it’s wrong, Superhuman? In my view, even if the world is destroyed, the superman is the one who will survive alone.”

“To that extent?”

“This is a moment I’m happily waiting for.”

Jin Se-jeong’s face was filled with deep confidence.

“Yoonhee, do you know how to enjoy a cold beer?”

“Delicious snack? Or a good place with a good person?”

“That’s true, but my favorite way is to increase thirst. On a hot summer day, you go up the stairs to the pub on the 5th floor, not the elevator. Then, you go inside the store and get a cold draft beer. And one shot.”

Gulp.

Yunhee swallowed her saliva at the vivid explanation.

“That’s how I feel while waiting for the superhuman to come back. “If you count the stairs, it’s about the 4th floor?”

“Cold draft beer will be available soon.”

“yes. “If Superhuman returns, the world will probably turn upside down.”

His mission is to be fully prepared to wipe out the guys who showed their teeth when Choi Jun-ho returns safely.

Yunhee looked sick of the delicious draft beer.

“My brother abandoned someone….”

“I can’t believe you abandoned me. I’m having a great time working under Choin. “I’m looking forward to the moment when I can drink delicious draft beer.”

Jin Se-jeong’s thirsty face was filled with madness.

* * *

“No matter what, I think my faith is a little too much…” She

agreed in front of Jin Se-jeong, but that vague belief made Yun-hee’s heart tingle.

Jeong Da-hyun and Jin Se-jeong’s faith was at a religious level, and Lee Se-hee was pushing ahead with the group’s fate at stake.

What would happen if my brother’s death was confirmed?

Yoon-hee also thinks that Choi Jun-ho is alive, but there are so many rumors going around that it becomes a little confusing at times.

“Does that person have that much patience in the first place? I think he would have appeared before that and killed them all.”

Because that was the typical Choi Jun-ho.

Rather, there was concern that the reason he did not show up was because of a serious injury.

I didn’t want to feel helpless because I couldn’t do anything without Choi Jun-ho.

Part of me hoped that he would show up okay and put an end to this anxiety.

It wasn’t easy to pretend like nothing was wrong and comfort my parents.

“I’m home.”

It was also a habit to say hello when entering the house, even if you knew no one would be there.

Although I knew very well that it was a futile hope.

But today was strange.

A presence was detected in the house.

“uh?”

Are you my parents?

No, on the contrary, my parents are so depressed that they rarely come out of the house.

Then who?

Yun-hee hurried into the house and froze when she saw In-young sitting at the table.

“Huh?”

“Are you here?”

Choi Jun-ho is putting a grain of rice soaked in soybean paste and an Owlboar eyeball on a spoon and pushing it into his mouth.

This was the scene that Yunhee saw when she came to the kitchen.
