Chapter 375
Episode 375
“….”
A space engulfed in silence. The eyes of the people gathered here were all focused on me.
It was a party where not only political figures but also experts from various fields gathered.
A look of astonishment that could not be hidden appeared on their faces.
After seeing this, I realized that there were more people than I expected who thought I was dead.
And I also found out that he was secretly wishing for my death.
I’ve worked hard for this country, but it’s sad that there are so many people who want me to die.
[For someone with wealth and power, it might be better for you to disappear.]
It’s not particularly wrong. Looking at it this way, I could see that they and I were thinking the same thing.
I slightly looked away from Lee Se-hee, who seemed to have lasers coming out of her eyes, and shifted my gaze to the guy who was talking excitedly just a moment ago.
They say he is the eldest son of the Suyeon family, and the way he talked to Lee Se-hee with a triumphant expression was quite impressive.
The only thing to be proud of is being born into a good family, but is that really something to be proud of?
But somehow it means nothing to me.
“So what are you going to do if you’re still alive?”
“That…”
“You came here to listen to it yourself. say it.”
“….”
Jeong In-cheol’s mouth closed. I thought he would show his courage to say more, but that was it.
“Then is it my turn?”
“I am the president of Suyeon Family! “This is Sehee’s cousin!”
“So what.”
Even my own brother died by my hands, so I don’t know what my cousin is campaigning for.
“profit!”
The guy with his teeth clenched tried to run away, but my hands were faster.
After snatching his arm, he broke it without hesitation and kicked his shin, shattering his shin bone.
Hmm, is the repertoire of breaking limbs the same every time?
But I can’t help it.
This is the most efficient.
If you crush the broken bone, it can break into small pieces and effectively relieve the pain of shattering your entire body.
Of course, this is not something I have experienced, but it is a trick I have learned from dealing with countless villains.
“Kwaaaak!”
When a subject reveals his obscene desires, he screams to the end that he is a good person.
This guy was trying to oust Lee Se-hee and take her place?
I know that not all good positions in the world are based on ability, but the behavior of jumping into the quagmire for one’s own desires even though there is a noticeable difference at a glance was absurd.
I used the guy’s screams as background music and adjusted the intensity of the step.
“Would it get better if I eliminated everything I could see?”
[Probably not.]
I know very well that human behavior is not like that. I just complained.
“Kwaaaah! Stop it!”
In response to Jeong In-cheol’s barely suppressed shout, the awakened people who appeared to be bodyguards hesitantly approached.
At the same time, I put my fingertips together and cast a bladestorm, and the legs of the five bodyguards were separated.
“Kwaaaak!”
“My my legs!”
“Ahh! it hurts! it hurts!”
I took my eyes off the struggling security guards and looked into Jeong In-cheol’s mesmerized eyes.
“hey.”
“Hee hee!”
No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like this guy did it alone.
“Who asked you to act out like that?”
Suyeon Group is also a subsidiary of Shinsung Family and is located at the top of the business hierarchy, but it is not at a level where it dares to surpass Shinsung Group. But can you step forward with this much confidence? It was impossible without some concept.
“That…”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t answer.”
There were endless ways to extract the information in my head.
It was when I tried to reach my hand above my head.
“Mr. Junho.”
“why?”
Lee Se-hee called me.
Could it be that this guy is also your cousin and wants you to look at him?
“There are a lot of listening ears here. “Why don’t we move to a separate location and get some information?”
“Sure.”
Normally, I would have taken action without hesitation, but because you trusted me and waited, you went through this hardship.
Lee Se-hee’s expression, who had been watching with anxious eyes, suddenly brightened and she took a step forward.
“Please take care of it quickly. “If you’re not late, you’ll be able to attach it.”
It was only then that first aid was provided to the bodyguards whose legs had been cut off, and Jeong In-cheol, who was struggling with a broken limb, was dragged away and disappeared.
I could have run away, but it doesn’t matter. The best thing about conquering vested interests is that they are deeply rooted in the place where you were born and raised and cannot escape.
“Change your seat.”
Sehee Lee and I moved to a deserted terrace. The gazes that had been following me until then only dissipated after I completely moved away.
Lee Se-hee’s face, revealed between the lights in the darkness, was filled with relief.
“You’re safe.”
“The injury was bigger than I thought and it took some time to recover.”
“What a relief. “I was really worried because I thought something had happened…”
“I didn’t believe he would come back okay?”
“I believed it. “I believed in it, but as time goes by, my faith tends to waver.”
“But you persevered. “I thought I could endure this much.”
“It’s really Junho. “No one has changed.”
Lee Se-hee’s eyes, which had been shaking precariously, returned to their original position. I don’t know why you’re saying something so obvious.
“We need to find out who’s behind it.”
“It’s easy to figure out who’s behind it. “If I am pushed out and Shinsung Group struggles, those who will benefit can be seen as all behind the scenes.”
“There must be a lot of people to kill.”
“Are you trying to kill them all?”
Lee Se-hee’s eyes did not widen in surprise… but were shining with joy.
“I don’t kill you just because I suspect you. “If you took action instead, you should be held accountable.”
The chairman of Shinsung Group is Lee Se-hee, but at the same time, my wealth is invested in Shinsung Group.
Those who tried to drive out Lee Se-hee dared to play with my property.
I’m not really interested in money, but touching what’s mine is a different matter.
If so, I should take responsibility for that.
“I will help too.”
“okay.”
As expected, I knew exactly what I wanted. Since my hands and feet fit together well, I thought I wouldn’t have any trouble looking for people to kill in the future.
Then, Lee Se-hee’s expression suddenly became serious.
“Now that I think about it, Dahyun didn’t come today and said she would send a guest, so Junho saw Dahyun before me.”
“yes?”
[Hey, I didn’t notice that…]
Yongyong is shocked, but I don’t know why.
Isn’t it true that you met Jeong Da-hyun first?
[You just touched the detonator.]
“….”
I thought Yongyong was talking nonsense, but seeing Lee Se-hee’s calm words made me think that he might not be wrong.
“Because you are involved in more things than other people. “I thought that would be the best way to decorate the end in a flashy way.”
I didn’t really think about who I should meet first.
After meeting my family first, I just went with the flow.
Maybe you understand what I’m saying? Lee Se-hee’s expression brightened.
“Yes? I think the last one was the most special because I thought it was the most special. “Like a finale!”
It seems like I’m thinking a few steps further than I should.
[In times like this, it’s best to stay still. So shut your mouth and stay still. Then there will be good results.]
I felt like I wanted to tackle Yongyong’s words, but looking at Lee Se-hee’s brightly colored expression, I could have said that those words were wrong.
“Woohuhuhu!”
[Look, I’m better than you, right? I’m leaving because I’m really frustrated. From now on, follow my instructions.]
“….”
Na-dae was slightly annoyed that Yong-yong could not refute his words.
* * *
Choi Jun-ho is back!
The news of his appearance at the Suyeon Hotel quickly spread throughout Korea and around the world.
At the same time, the Korea Composite Stock Index soared all at once, making up for the decline over the past year in just one week.
Headbreaker Choi Jun-ho. That name carried a lot of weight.
He was the world’s strongest superhuman and an absolute being that no monster or villain could do anything about.
As the League was scattered after the subjugation operation, the world situation changed rapidly.
The U.S. government broke the existing isolated system and exerted strong influence in South America, and in Europe, it pushed the league with a unified force.
The puppet government established by the League was waging a war of nerves with the rebels every day.
The complex and tangled situation is bound to find a new order at any time, and the biggest axis in it was not the United States or Europe, but Choi Jun-ho.
The individual possessed so much power that one desperately wished it would disappear.
It was known that even such a superhuman could not avoid instant death, but after a year, he made a splendid comeback.
It was as if I had been compiling a list of kills for a year.
In particular, the countries that had judged Choi Jun-ho to be dead and were putting pressure on him were in trouble.
“It’s a big deal. It’s a big deal. “You’re probably wondering what to do right now.”
The sad news(?) about Choi Jun-ho’s return also reached the United States.
It was something that could cause problems in the U.S., but Herbert said with a smile.
On the other hand, Daniel, who was sitting across from me, had a serious expression.
“This is something that is hard to ignore.”
“I know, I know. “Because idiots who don’t know anything have made a big deal out of it.”
Before the news of Choi Jun-ho’s return became known, news of an incident in Korea reached the White House.
At the time, opinions were divided as the details were not known. However, when it became known that Choi Jun-ho had returned, all questions were resolved in an instant.
“It’s no wonder Congress is overturned. “Both the opposition party and the ruling party are doing well.”
Arnold, who went to Korea this time, was a person who was strongly influenced by the ruling party. Herbert knew that the opposition party also agreed to this.
“It’s because of me.”
“Because power cannot be shared.”
With the successful completion of the League subjugation operation and the expansion of American influence in South America, Herbert’s approval rating temporarily exceeded 80%.
Although it has fallen a year later, support for the regime was strong enough to remain in the low 70s to high 60%.
How can it be said that the next administration will also come from the ruling party?
However, the problem here is that the candidate being pushed by Herbert is different from the candidate being pushed by the ruling party.
Originally, Daniel was not a strong candidate for the next presidential election because he did not have a great desire for power.
However, when Herbert made a move to push Daniel to handle major matters, an uproar arose not only in the opposition party but also in the ruling party.
As a result, I had to find something that could be a flaw in Herbert, and what I discovered was a one-sided donation to the Republic of Korea.
It was safe to say that Arnold’s appointment to correct that was an effort by the ruling party to keep the White House in check.
In the name of clarity, they decided to take issue with the contract signed with the Republic of Korea, revise it, and use it as their own achievement.
There would have been no problem if Choi Jun-ho had died, but Herbert and the White House considered the possibility of his death to be low.
The results are out now.
“They say people change when they overcome the risk of death, but I don’t think that applies to Headbreakers at all.”
“Thanks to you, our precious diplomat was injured.”
“As he said, just because you can’t walk doesn’t mean you can’t be diplomatic. “The good news is that there is room for recovery with new drugs that will be developed later.”
“Big sacrifices can occur.”
Herbert neglected to intimidate the opposition, but this made Choi Jun-ho suspicious of America’s intentions.
Choi Jun-ho’s personality did not soften in the slightest just by looking at his actions against Arnold.
In fact, there are ongoing predictions that it may have become more extreme.
“Then shall we impose an entry ban?”
“Now is not the time to joke.”
“I’m not kidding either. But this level of tension is necessary.”
A strong man without an opponent becomes loose. However, Herbert believed that the checks on Choi Jun-ho and the party would make the United States stronger.
“You saw how the party behaved once it was announced that Headbreaker was dead, right?”
“….”
Daniel nodded as he saw the world running wild as if it were his own again.
“A new order has already arrived in the world. The party is not the main axis of that order, but just a piece of the puzzle. “They actually don’t realize it.”
This was also a problem that occurred in that area.
Herbert already knows that the party was partly responsible for Arnold’s rampage.
“But Headbreaker will think differently.”
“I provided detailed information before misunderstandings grew.”
“You really…”
“Because I don’t want to be responsible for something we didn’t do. This could be a burden for me and you.”
“….”
I don’t like Herbert’s behavior of immediately telling off, but there is nothing wrong with it.
Headbreaker has already revealed that his personality has not changed at all in the process of replacing the chairman of Korea’s Sooyeon Group, who exposed his teeth to Shinsung Group in the process of dealing with Arnold.
If there is a disaster that cannot be handled, it is natural to minimize the damage rather than confront it head on.
“What we need to do is not fight against the flow of the times, but adapt and wait for an opportunity.”
For that, now was the time to endure.
“I think I’ll grow old and die before Choi Jun-ho disappears.”
Daniel closed his eyes tightly at Herbert’s joke.
