The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity

Episode 372:

I succeeded in catching the slimy man again, and I showed my passion to the guy who didn’t even know what I was talking about, so my job was done.

But it seems that the person concerned is not like that.

“Jun Ho! for a moment!”

“why?”

“Why, of course I have something to talk about! In the meantime, I have a lot to talk about…”

“Let’s do it later.”

Talking to Zolaman is also one of the options, but that is for a later date.

I had to immediately resolve what happened while I disappeared for a year.

“okay.”

“Keep what you saw today a secret.”

My reappearance was not something to be hidden, but I was planning to slow the spread as much as possible.

In the meantime, I’ll have to deal with the guys I need to deal with behind the scenes and go do some personal business.

“If the news spreads, they will think it was from your side.”

“…Maybe it’s not us.”

“No, it’s definitely you.”

“….”

The little man looked very dissatisfied, but eventually nodded and agreed.

I helped Arnold, who still couldn’t come to his senses, and went outside.

Cheon Myeong-guk, who had been silently observing the situation until then, intervened.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“I guess I should have removed it as expected.”

“No, he is a person of considerable ability even in the United States. “You will be obedient in the future because you will have realized that you should not oppose the Adept.”

“I hope so.”

It remains to be seen what will happen, though.

I still believe in the saying that people cannot be rewritten.

“What is clear is that there will be no next time.”

In fact, the very fact that I gave room for ‘next’ was very unusual.

Instead, since we caught a slimy man, let’s be satisfied with this.

“…haha.”

Cheon Myeong-guk nodded with an expression of understanding and changed the topic.

“It’s only been a year, but you’ve changed a lot.”

“I think it’s the same.”

“Until then, even when I revealed my thoughts, Adept did not accept me easily. But this time, even though he didn’t like it, he easily allowed it.”

“Oh, that.”

It’s not like a huge change has occurred within me or anything like that.

only.

“Now that there are more people around me who care for me, I thought it would be a good idea to trust them more.”

“It’s a very positive change.”

“But humans have a habit of climbing when you treat them well, so if I see any signs of climbing, I’m going to crush their heads right away.”

“…I don’t plan on doing that, so don’t worry.”

“I didn’t mean to target the president either.”

“….”

Well, I guess jokes don’t suit me either.

There was silence for a moment as the atmosphere became quite awkward. Cheon Myeong-guk, who had been lost in thought until then, mentioned the problem at hand.

“As you will soon realize, Mr. Choin, the issue regarding the Shinsung Group is currently emerging as a new headache.”

“I heard it, but is it serious?”

“It could have escalated into something serious when the Superhuman was away, but now that the Superhuman has appeared, it is not a difficult matter. However, I think it would be better to deal with this problem all at once since it has arisen.”

“I thought I had it stabilized.”

“There are those who fan the flames.”

He told me to talk to Lee Se-hee for more details.

If Cheon Myung-guk said this, you could tell that the situation was quite serious.

‘I’ll have to deal with the things that bother me first.’

[And then the world turns upside down, right?]

There’s no need to make a fuss, so I’ll try to resolve it quietly.

[I don’t think that person thinks that way.]

I turned my head slightly and saw that Cheon Myeong-guk’s complexion was not very good.

Could it be because of me?

In that case, I need to reassure you.

“Don’t worry too much. “We will solve it with as little noise as possible.”

“…Yes, I believe it.”

[You know I don’t believe it at all, right?]

Now I’ve given up too.

* * *

After my family, the next person I found was Jeong Da-hyun.

I have a firm belief in my return, but I heard a report from Yunhee that I am focusing on training to a strange degree.

Regardless of my belief in myself, pouring energy into training was by no means normal. I was worried that I might do something wrong, so I went to see Jeong Da-hyeon.

[Actually, aren’t you quite worried?]

Yongyong seemed to think differently.

[Being absorbed in something can be an act to relieve anxious feelings. Contrary to what you say, I think you may be wrong.]

Was Jeong Da-hyun that anxious?

[I don’t know. What is clear is that even if I hear that you went somewhere and died, I don’t believe it at all. However, humans are a people who are suspicious of what they cannot see.]

Yongyong’s words also make quite a bit of sense.

So it may be surprising that it appears like this.

[I guess you want me to be surprised?]

To be exact, it’s half and half.

Because I wanted to see Jeong Da-hyun surprised at least once.

I heard from Yoonhee that there was an atmosphere of almost blind faith in my return, so I was curious what the reaction would be if I suddenly showed up.

So I quietly stormed into Yunhee’s training room.

Our gazes collided in the air.

“You’re safe.”

“….”

That’s the end.

One dry word was all that was said.

[Looking at your reaction, I know it’s the exact opposite of what I expected.]

It’s loud.

[But she’s very happy.]

Yongyong said that, but when you look at Jeong Da-hyeon’s appearance on the outside, you can’t see any sign of that at all.

I don’t know if I’m blind or if Jeong Da-hyun is good at hiding her feelings.

“how have you been doing?”

“yes. “I was working hard to train so as not to be left behind next time.”

“Were you keeping that in mind?”

“No, it happened because I wasn’t good enough. So, we need to make sure we don’t have enough. Thanks to that, I was able to work hard without being lazy at all.”

[I’m scared of something about that person.]

Well, I felt madness amidst the tranquility.

I couldn’t tell if it was something I had captured or if I wasn’t aware of it yet.

“Working hard is a good thing.”

“Yes, I will definitely follow you next time.”

“As long as you have the skills.”

“I don’t plan on being a fool either. “I can’t stand Berserker for more than 10 minutes these days.”

“okay?”

This was an achievement beyond my expectations. Berserker defeated Black Hound in the League subjugation operation and gained a solid skill level that was as strong as that of the existing teenagers.

Although it is a name that has become obsolete, a teenage superhuman is revered as a powerhouse one level higher than other superhumans.

To me, he’s a sturdy punching bag, but to others, it feels like he possesses absolute strength. Can you fight him for more than 10 minutes? It’s not that Berserker is weak, it just means that Jeong Da-hyun’s growth exceeded my expectations.

It seemed like the sincere effort of a genius was producing results beyond my expectations.

The subject of research.

“okay.”

His confident appearance made us look forward to how great he would be.

Dahyun Jeong smiled and changed the topic.

“Your brother hasn’t appeared to the public right now, right?”

“Oh, right.”

“I plan to correct the foolish behavior of those who have been acting foolishly.”

“…yes?”

Somehow, I felt like he knew more details than I did.

“Then it would be good to know about Sehee’s current situation.”

“Are you okay before that?”

“What’s the problem?”

“I must have stabbed you from all sides.”

“Well, twenty-six countries to be exact presented conditions for me to come to their country. “It wasn’t worth worrying about, so I turned it down right away.”

[Isn’t that huge?]

It was ironic that even Yongyong, who is not a human, said that, but he was not actually the person involved.

“I’m trying this even though I know it won’t work. “It’s not that big of a deal.”

Dahyun Jeong revealed that she had never thought about going to another country. He then explained Lee Se-hee’s situation to me.

“To sum it up in one line, it is a war of nerves over management rights.”

It is said that the Shinsung family lineage, which had been completely excluded by the previously retired presidents and Lee Young-moon, played a leading role here.

But there was a part I didn’t understand.

“I guess management is already stable?”

I felt like he was complaining about the fact that management rights were stabilized just by my presence, so I used my money to buy shares of Shinsung Group and used them as Lee Se-hee’s friendly shares.

“Normally, that would be enough, but the problem is that people are saying that my brother is dead.”

“Is that a problem?”

“All of Shinsung Group’s business directions are based on when my brother was safe.”

This is Lee Se-hee, who joined hands with me and took over the position of Chairman of Shinsung Group based on my trust. However, with my disappearance, the need for the group to seek a new direction emerged.

In fact, it was just a means to tackle.

Naturally, Sehee Lee refused.

“I’m sure my brother is alive.”

Ultimately, this is an incident that occurred in the process surrounding management rights.

The structure was such that as the number of people who thought I was dead increased, the opposition gained strength and Lee Se-hee was put on the defensive.

However, I did not naively think that this would have been done only by the opposition.

“There are so many people who want me dead.”

“It’s ridiculous.”

Dahyun Jeong clicked her tongue. I also agreed with that sentiment.

“There is a party at Seongjin Street in a few days. From there, real pressure will be placed on Sehee.”

“To take the lead in the group?”

“If you admit a mistake, you have to take responsibility. They are looking down on Sehee because she is young. “What makes the world go round is skill.”

I think the fact that Lee Se-hee, who made countless contributions in connection with me, was not treated well made Jeong Da-hyeon very angry.

Apart from me, Lee Se-hee’s resourcefulness is already enough to make people tremble even overseas, but I guess she doesn’t know how much value the diamond in her hand holds.

“I guess you want me to attend the party?”

“It is a place where attention is focused not only on the business world but also on the political world. I’m paying attention to how Sehee will overcome the difficulties. “Isn’t this the best place to announce that my brother is back?”

“not bad.”

They say it will be in a few days, so I can finish the remaining work.

“If you’re stupid, you’ll pay the price.”

Of course, I had no intention of leaving it alone.

“Then now it’s my turn.”

I looked at Jeong Da-hyeon, who spoke confidently. There was hidden excitement on her face.

“I want to show you what I’ve been working hard on.”

[The momentum is considerable. Right?]

As Yongyong said, Jeong Dahyun’s momentum was incomparable to a year ago.

You can feel this much change just by revealing yourself.

I was quite excited to see what it would taste like.

“A bit later.”

“Is there anything urgent?”

“That’s not true, there’s someone I can fix first.”

Maybe he’s the one I’d be best off without. You have to go see this guy who is running around like it’s his own world.

[Hey, do it in moderation. That person is scared.]

I came to my senses after hearing Yongyong’s words and could see Jeong Dahyun trembling as she looked at me.

“Don’t worry, I won’t kill you.”

* * *

“There is chaos everywhere.”

Berserker, who was personally experiencing the aftermath of Choi Jun-ho’s disappearance, had an ambiguous current situation.

The disappearance of an absolute powerhouse who literally controlled the world.

That was not to say that the absolute powerhouse only possessed great strength.

It was like a bomb that, if it failed, could have used force at any time.

It is literally a disaster for those who have something holding them back.

When Choi Jun-ho was reported missing, most people did not believe he was dead.

However, after a year, opinions began to diverge.

If you think you are dead, you can be considered dead, and if you think you are alive, you can be considered alive.

If more time passes like this, public opinion that he is dead will gain strength.

Even in Korea, there was already talk about the treatment of Berserker.

The only superhuman who could replace Choi Jun-ho in an emergency was Berserker.

Of course, Berserker had no intention of doing anything like Choi Jun-ho.

“Even though he was treated like a bomb, he made a great contribution to society. But do I have a reason to do that?”

Since there was no need or intention to do so, Berserker just watched the situation.

Still, it felt good to be the object of respect and be treated well by others.

“This isn’t bad either.”

It was the treatment I received because Choi Jun-ho was thought to be dead, but I thought it was okay in its own way.

I thought it wouldn’t be so bad to not come back like this.

“No.”

Berserker, who had been thinking up to that point, stopped.

I felt like I was thinking something I shouldn’t have.

Do you want that in the first place? Then, it will naturally come out in your actions.

People around the world are looking through the people around Choi Jun-ho to determine whether he is alive or not.

If you act like that, you may naturally assume that Choi Jun-ho is dead and act accordingly.

…It will come as a disaster that will turn the world upside down.

It wasn’t just that, it was something I felt myself.

This must be the fear engraved into this guy.

“….”

At some point, goosebumps began to form on my face.

I wanted to move my body right away. But I couldn’t.

It was as if an invisible spider web had wrapped itself around my entire body.

It was a spider web made of fear.

And at some point, a figure appeared in front of him.

“It’s been a while. How have you been?”

Choi Jun-ho was smiling in front of Berserker.
