The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity

Episode 395

[You didn’t really care?]

After finishing my conversation with Maxim Geddes, Yongyong spoke to me as if he was curious.

[Those guys can still get on your nerves, right?]

“Yes, of course.”

To be honest, it can be quite annoying rather than annoying. You never know, if you move more desperately, you might end up regretting it.

The party’s true strength lies not in its military might, but in the influence it has built up over centuries.

Although it may seem faded now, the power of the name of fate becomes stronger as time accumulates.

Especially if you don’t cut it off with a single knife.

“But you know full well that you can’t do that.”

[Are you saying that people who have a lot cannot take risks?]

“When the damage they will suffer exceeds what they can bear, they tend to choose compromise rather than conflict.”

The same is true in this case. If my inaction had been within his control, Phantom would not have cut off his own arm.

The fear that the entire party might disappear if they deal with me weighed on me.

“The eunuch set out to meet me in the first place, so there’s no need to worry about what happens next.”

At least, I think there will be no more conflicts than there was with Phantom.

Other people may have different thoughts.

“by the way.”

[Huh?]

“How did you feel when you heard about Shinsu?”

[Can I kill that person?]

“Don’t do that.”

Looking at Yongyong’s reaction, I feel strongly that the information provided by Phantom was correct.

From now on, it would be nice to be able to trust the information provided by the party more.

[Generally correct. Among them, there are some with bad personalities, but I wonder if they managed to gather information on them. There are some who are completely indifferent to humans, and there are many who don’t even want to interact with humans.]

“What if I go?”

[I’m sure they’ll fight each other to death, right?]

“You’ll be in the middle wondering whether to kill me or not.”

[That’s… something that can’t happen, depending on the situation. Hey, why am I targeting you?]

I got caught.

Yongyong started to panic.

[Not really. I got confused while answering your question! Why did I kill you in the first place?]

“I felt like they were waiting for an opportunity a few times.”

[I’m just observing. And if that’s the case, you had several opportunities to do so, but you stayed quiet.]

That’s true, too.

Even though it felt suspicious that I was trying desperately to explain, I decided to end it at this point and move on.

[So are you going to come find me right away?]

“I have to take care of the rest.”

[What happened?]

“Because the party wasn’t the only one playing tricks on me.”

It was only the party that paid the price, but those who accepted the party’s request and participated still remained.

Of course, we have to pay bills to them as well.

[How are you going to handle it?]

“The concept of peace that has already been established needs to be maintained to some extent.”

Normally, I would have gone and dealt with it right away, but that would have had the fatal result of disappearing the mood of peace that had been created.

I decided to resolve it in a good way.

Of course, only if the other person accepts it.

* * *

Wellington was a Texas senator who held office for a long time and was considered a strong presidential candidate.

Appealing with his unique harsh speech and manly exuberance, he has consistently advocated for the restoration of American hegemony.

For him, the news of Choi Jun-ho’s disappearance was a golden opportunity.

Wellington’s runaway accelerated as the White House abandoned its previous policy and moved to support Vice President Daniel as the presidential candidate.

One of them is to restore America’s old lost rights.

The things that Herbert gave to impress Choi Jun-ho became great targets for attack, and in that respect, the interests of the party and the party were aligned for the first time in a long time.

He thought that if he used Arnold to get his rights back, everything would be his fault, but a variable arose.

Choi Jun-ho is back.

“Why…”

Because of that, everything became distorted.

The party was upset and held an emergency meeting, and congressional forces fell into uncontrollable chaos.

Choi Jun-ho will definitely get revenge.

Despite his strength, this guy had no elegance at all, and he had vicious hands beyond imagination.

Therefore, they thought that if Choi Jun-ho came to the United States, he would definitely appear in front of them.

Like right now.

He appears to be an incredibly handsome Asian young man.

However, lurking within it is a devil who is more bloodthirsty than any other villain.

Should I bend it like this?

But to do that, what he had done so far made him unyielding.

When facing Choi Jun-ho, he actually gave strength to his voice.

“I only acted for the good of our country! “I have nothing to apologize for.”

“okay?”

“Yes.”

“Is that the end?”

“of course.”

Wellington proudly stuck out his chest.

Even if it means twisting your neck, this is the best.

It is impossible to end up with Choi Jun-ho now.

No matter what happens.

It would be better if I died in front of him so that it would leave a lasting impression.

If we can’t avoid it, let’s at least leave it in history as a confident confrontation with Choi Jun-ho.

It was time to make up my mind.

“Right.”

“huh?”

“I respect that idea.”

And he said it was okay to go.

“….”

Even as he left his seat, Wellington was dumbfounded.

Is this what happened?

The infamous head breaker ends at this level?

“Did my story work? “That’s surprising.”

If he had that reputation, he would have taken action right away rather than manipulating things behind his back.

But can we really believe this?

Wellington felt confused.

But apart from that, the security of the home has been raised to the highest level.

A head breaker would have been more than enough of a trick.

That prediction was exactly right.

Wellington went to bed that night and had to face Choi Jun-ho.

“Why did you know this would come?”

“I couldn’t believe it was like this from the beginning…”

He cruelly abandoned his efforts to confront it head on.

“If things don’t work out, the easiest way is to deal with it. You did that too, right? “Let’s do what we’re both good at.”

Wellington said more, but his hand dug into his chest faster.

And mental disconnection.

A senator who was aiming for the presidency passed away in vain.

* * *

“Forty-three senators resigned, seven died. Seventy-two members of the House of Representatives resigned, thirteen died.”

It has been a storm that has swept the United States over the past week.

It literally turned the entire United States upside down.

“The speed is beyond imagination. “If it were me, I would have noticed, but you don’t even notice.”

Here, those who resigned were those who complied with Choi Jun-ho’s suggestion and paid the price, while those who died were those who was biding their time by paying attention.

All of them died from heart attacks, but no one knew who did it.

“The papers said it was the head breaker counterattack. “If you had apologized when you were invited, this wouldn’t have happened.”

However, that is not to say that Choi Jun-ho was radical from the beginning.

He sent invitations to lawmakers who were actively trying to disadvantage Korea and Shinsung Group at the time of his disappearance. And I had some kind of ‘conversation’ with the lawmakers who responded to the invitation.

The lawmakers who resigned after the conversation survived, but all those who wasted their time died.

“I never thought Wellington would die too.”

“It must be the price you pay for choosing your pride. “Headbreaker was dealt with without any special attention.”

The stumbling block that had been persistently holding us back within the party has disappeared.

“If we hold elections, it will be filled with our people. “With this, we can say that we have taken the lead in Congress.”

But it was all about initiative.

What Herbert had hoped for was control of parliament, but he could not do so.

The reason was simple.

bang!

“Why did Headbreaker keep Phantom alive?”

This is because the party is alive and well.

Phantom, who was initially thought to be unable to escape death, survived. That too with only minor(?) damage to one arm.

From here, Herbert’s expectations went wrong.

“Internal information said that at least 30% of the party’s power would be lost.”

In order to repair the damage, the party had to reduce external activities and reorganize its forces around a new party leader, so political leadership had to naturally be transferred to the White House.

However, everything went wrong as the first button was put together incorrectly.

The party was still alive and well, and despite the fall of parliamentary power, it had the wherewithal to project its power there.

“Has the person changed? “This is not what I have shown before!”

Daniel, who was watching Herbert’s violent outburst of emotions, put the brakes on.

“It has changed. Headbreakers are no longer just people who drink hard. “It is a monster that can now be negotiated.”

“Damn it, why now…”

Herbert, who had missed the opportunity to get everything, was on the verge of losing his mind.

“Don’t think nonsense, Herbert.”

“…You know what I’m thinking.”

“The opponent is a head breaker. “Do you think being silly will work?”

“shit! “I fucking know.”

At Daniel’s dissuasion, Herbert ruffled his hair with a rough hand.

“Do not give in to temptation. “All the enemies who were defeated by Head Breaker were unable to resist the temptation and moved and disappeared.”

“phew! I calmed down. “You are right. In times like these, we should not lose our courage.”

Herbert took several deep breaths and quickly returned to his original form.

Daniel was relieved to see that. Herbert’s greatest strength is his composure in any situation.

“In the end, the reason we missed this opportunity was because we couldn’t catch what Head Breaker wanted quickly.”

“Because the party’s intelligence is superior to ours. “Accumulated information and influence.”

“In the end, it’s a lack of assets.”

A party was a party after all.

I thought it was going to fall like this, but it found an amazing way to survive.

“Then let’s just lag behind like this?”

“It is not easy to chase after the party and turn the tables now.”

“then?”

“But we’ll have to use the same method.”

“Go ahead and tell me.”

“I think it would be a good idea to hand over the data we collected.”

Herbert’s eyes sparkled.

“Shall I buy you a favor?”

“Because I don’t think this is the end of the conflict with the party.”

“It’s a good idea. After all, you deserve to be the next president!”

“It’s also a position where I have to deal with Head Breaker instead of you for eight more years.”

“…Okay, I’m sorry. “It’s all my fault.”

“If you know, do better in the future.”

Herbert nodded quickly.

It ended with less damage than expected.

It is indeed a place worthy of a country that was once a world hegemony.

There were more people than I thought who invited me to talk and then chose to leave as soon as they found out what I was thinking.

[Even so, won’t he come back?]

“But it’s hard to let go of immediate power.”

That’s the case with everything in the world. Even though I can get it again in the future if I let it go right now, I can’t let it go because I think of the loss I will incur now.

It’s like taking a step back to take a step forward.

Of course, there were more people than I thought that I couldn’t let go of.

In particular, those in high positions could not give up their greed.

When you look at this, it seems like the thinking circuits of those who hold a lot of power everywhere in the world are similar.

Anyway, they went into processing without leaving anything behind.

[I don’t get it. [How difficult it is to just stop for a moment.]

I think that’s something Yongyong can’t understand unless he becomes human.

Anyway, it seems I am not the only one who thinks the damage was less than expected.

If you look at the fact that the White House also sent a gift.

The identity of the gift was about Shinsu.

The information was almost identical to what was delivered at the party, but it wouldn’t hurt to cross-check it several times.

“There are surprisingly many sane people in America.”

[Wasn’t it a struggle to not be killed by you?]

“But it doesn’t matter. Because it’s important that your words work.”

[If you die like this, I will die.]

“It’s a fairly easy method, but is it really?”

[Is that possible?]

While bickering with Yongyong, the place we arrived at was the middle of the desert in Nevada.

The divine beast I was looking for existed here, a place of death that refused access to any living thing.

[But is there a reason you go to him first?]

“Because it’s the closest.”

[That’s all?]

“Uh. Since I was close to him, I would be familiar with the Thunderbird and the guy who gave the Hell Master a gift.”

There is no way that a divine beast that is such a powerful being would not have known about other divine beasts located nearby. If so, there is a high probability that there would have been contact and that it would also know a lot of the information I want.

[It’s just that more and more little things are growing.]

“Are you saying you want to fight?”

[No, it’s not like that.]

“Then there’s something I’m anxious about.”

[….]

“If you’re not there, follow me quietly.”

After silencing Yongyong, I moved to meet Acheri, a divine beast known to be in Nevada.

This beast, which is closer to a ghost than a divine beast, had a high reputation in North America and seemed to have become a divine beast.

Just looking at the lore, it seemed more harmful than a monster, so I was curious what it would be like.

It was time to expand my senses and go deeper into the place where strong energy existed.

Suddenly, it seemed as if the waves were shaking, and a ray of energy surged up behind me.

“hi?”

A girl with all kinds of poisons and diseases plastered on her face was looking at me.
