Choi Jun-ho turned and the president looked at Cheon Myeong-guk. For some reason there was a smile on his face.
“Somehow, I wasted all of Chun’s vacation.”
“I am okay.”
“Are you really okay?”
“… … .”
Cheon Myeong-guk silently confessed that the words were empty. The long-awaited vacation flew away in vain, so the sense of loss was inevitable.
Yeah, it’s lonely when I go home and there’s no one there.
It’s a mental victory, but it’s still disappointing.
The president noticed his heart.
He is also a married man.
“Soon, I will make a few days for dispatch. Then go to a quiet place and get some rest.”
“Yes? However… … .”
“He faithfully supported me by my side, but I have to do that. Instead, I have a few small tasks, so finish it quickly and get some rest. It’s not a vacation, it’s a business trip.”
“… thank you.”
“From the point of view of pampering, you have to do this.”
A smile spread across the lips of the president and Cheon Myeong-guk.
After all, the only one who understands the heart of a married man is a married man.
But for a while, when he returned to reality, his expression returned to normal.
“The problem is money.”
“Yes, there will definitely be noise.”
“I wish Junho Choi would allow him a little more leeway, but wouldn’t it be difficult?”
“I think a big accident can happen while waiting for that.”
“Hmm, I mean the same thing. Then it won’t be easy.”
The president did not trust politicians or businesses. I didn’t want their heads to explode after seeing a lot of money for nothing.
Where did you not tell them not to do something called corruption?
Even if there is a strong deterrence called Choi Jun-ho, people can change their attitude at any time when money is in front of them.
“It’s a dilemma. It’s getting harder and harder for us to handle.”
“The biggest problem is when it gets so bad that you want to leave.”
“That should never happen. But people don’t know what to do.”
“Let’s prepare a countermeasure.”
The president raised his hand and stopped it.
“No, this makes me use my powers. Oh, I’m not excluding you. There will be other experts, so it would be better to invite them and discuss them together.”
“Yes.”
“I hope something like that doesn’t happen.”
Chun Myeong-guk nodded his head calmly at the shaded expression on the president’s face.

There are long-standing social gatherings in the United States.
Closed and open at the same time, they have maintained their influence by accepting members who have been in power for hundreds of years and those who have emerged as powerful new ones.
By building a solid alliance system, such as forming close friendships and marrying each other, they discussed the world situation and coordinated interests, creating events that will go down in history.
Although they were called by names such as Freemasons and Illuminati, they simply called their gatherings ‘party’.
Usually, business talks come and go, but there were times when the aftermath swept the world.
They each spoke freely, sipping cocktails or whiskey at their own round, standing tables.
Among them, a large man wearing a lion mask asked the white ghost masked man who stood at the center.
“What do you call ‘he’ in the league?”
“It is said that Samak is currently on hiatus, and the scale of their activities has been drastically reduced. The league team is also on hiatus, so it’s difficult to figure out what the plan is.”
“Then, isn’t it meaningless to infiltrate the league?”
“No, the league is still a threat, so it’s right to watch. Argos is not an easygoing guy, so his clumsy movements can be revealed through the cracks here.”
“That’s not good.”
“The league avoided our eyes and built a force like this. It is difficult to underestimate them.”
“I don’t underestimate.”
“Don’t you think you can erase it right away if you put your mind to it?”
“… … .”
The lion mask was silent.
The ghost mask clenched his tongue in an exaggerated, wild confidence.
There were many times when it was impossible to deal rationally when talking about the league, turning on the lights and rushing to it.
If you don’t stop it in the middle, you’ll run into a runaway.
Even though I thought he was a troublesome guy, I thought it was a waste to leave that skill alone.
“The league problem is that once we get certain information, we move on.”
The ghost mask looked around.
“Today’s topic is different, so let’s get right to the point.”
The atmosphere of the hall was cleared by the voice of the party host, the ghost mask.
Today’s party topic is about one person, not about leagues.
It was extremely rare for a party with a history of hundreds of years to put only one person as the subject.
But he made today’s meeting a no-brainer.
The actions they have shown in just one year have such a powerful ripple effect that they change the world situation.
“As everyone knows, we talk about ‘how to control Choi Jun-ho’. If you have a good opinion, feel free to express it.”
Normally, one person’s name would not have come up here.
However, Choi Jun-ho’s performance was so great that it far exceeded their imagination.
In particular, it was a big shock to hunt two plus-level monsters at the same time before entering the North Korean region, or to collapse the Ryu Gwang-cheol regime.
They couldn’t even dare to attack the league there, and all they were trying to convince was.
No one could have imagined that they could achieve this level of success.
In the world, Junho Choi is already being evaluated as the best in the world.
As a result, the Republic of Korea is running at a terrifying pace.
If you do not control it now, it will appear as a big disaster in the future.
As if the league was born after thinking it was no big deal.
said the lion mask.
“He is not a big concern. Even if he is strong alone, he is only a single fire general, so all you have to do is induce them to isolate, look for opportunities, and then eliminate them.”
“You’re trying to get rid of it without conciliation?”
In response to the lion’s mask, the ghost mask asked with a terrifying voice.
“Isn’t even the chairman well aware that he’s a guy who won’t be conciliatory anyway? So I tried to get rid of him by mobilizing the league. They also failed in the end.”
“… … .”
In fact, both the league and China moved to control Choi Jun-ho, but all failed.
Now, it was almost impossible to contain Choi Jun-ho in East Asia.
“Impossible. To get rid of it, we too have to suffer a great loss.”
“Aww!”
The lion mask gave off a creepy look, but the ghost mask didn’t look like it.
If I had to do as that guy said, it wouldn’t be enough to burn half the world.
“If you can’t control it, how about growing more?”
It was a woman wearing a cat mask. Even though his face was covered, he was exuding a fatal charm with only his tone and body.
The ghost mask showed interest.
“How do you raise them?”
“It’s making Choi Jun-ho impossible for the Republic of Korea to handle.”
“Raise your weight?”
“yes.”
“Way?”
“It’s several things. First of all, I pretended to know the lion mask and told him to remove it, but Junho Choi is managing the image on his own. So, although the vested interests of the Republic of Korea hate Choi Jun-ho, the support of the citizens is high. You won’t be able to break this down in a short time. So the situation the lion mask wants won’t happen.”
“Aww!”
The lion mask showed displeasure, but the cat mask did not stop talking.
“So it makes it difficult for Korea to handle it. People are tolerant of themselves, so when they float around, they quickly forget my subject. Choi Jun-ho, who is still young and has just become a superhuman, will cause a lot of clashes with the government and vested interests over this part. Of course, from the Republic of Korea’s point of view, the more Choi Jun-ho’s demands increase, the more burdened he will feel, and he thinks it would be better if he left.”
“I asked how.”
“You are in a hurry.”
At the urging of the ghost mask, even the cat mask was no longer relaxed.
“There are many, but let’s pick a representative one.”
A strange smile appeared on the lips of the cat mask, who had stopped talking.
“What if we could shake up the world situation and create a new level 9 and include Choi Jun-ho?”
* * *
It was the day I realized that people can make mistakes unintentionally.
This never happened when I was dealing with a villain.
I just thought I did my job, but that would result in the loss of Cheon Myeong-guk’s vacation.
I had a feeling I was sorry that I couldn’t protect it after putting up a month as a bait.
[I don’t think you’re sorry for anything like that?]
As an added bonus, I only saw this Yong-yong being slapped.
“Okay, you can talk to me.”
[What? Evil man.]
“Didn’t we talk about how to use this last time?”
I took out the monster heart that Yong-yong had given me and said.
[Uh, was it?]
A voice that quickly becomes awkward. I could see Yongyong’s eyeballs rolling left and right.
“Don’t even think about getting lost.”
[no! Do not come!]
When I reached out my hand, Yong-yong was startled and backed away. He roamed the air, trying to avoid my eyes, but in the end, our eyes met.
[Do you really need to listen?]
“What country’s technique is to give things and not tell them how to use them?”
[I should have checked in… … .]
The guy who had been muttering with a melancholy expression hesitated several times before speaking to me.
[That’s a lot more pure and quicker than you think.]
“therefore?”
[I told you this far, don’t you know?]
“Keep talking.”
[So, even if you use up your force, if you have that heart, you can draw and use your power freely.]
Are you saying that?
I know roughly what the principle is.
It means that even if my Force is empty, I can use more Force with just this.
So, will my force reserve increase to the level of a two-horned monster?
I think the amount of force is already sufficient.
There’s nothing wrong with having a lot though.
“It’s kind of like an auxiliary battery.”
[Wow, you compare like that?]
“Do you know what a spare battery is?”
[No, I don’t know! But it’s not good because you’re comparing it!]
He’s the kind of guy who has the right part in the weird.
Anyway, I know that it is useful just to have it without using it for anything else.
“therefore.”
[yes?]
“How do you get the Force out of here?”
[Should I tell you that too?]
“Do you keep taking the bottoms off?”
[no! Don’t catch it! I’m Blue Dragon! If you keep getting caught by the evil hand, it turns into a black dragon. no!]
After tormenting Yong-yong for a long time, I learned a technique called ‘Link’ that can be used as my own power by connecting it to the monster’s heart.
* * *
Personally, I do not agree with Yongyong’s assessment of being an evil human being.
The guy who was locked up in the mountains and cooperating with Ryu Gwang-cheol, said to me that he was an evil human being or a crazy human being. It is strange to believe and be influenced by those words.
But apart from that, it is true that he is useful in this and that way.
[Whoa! Why are you eating this!]
I didn’t like the surprise when I saw the owlbore miso hotpot.
It may look strange, but only him doesn’t know that the taste is great.
Then.
[Is this okay? The tangy taste is excellent.]
When he saw a vodka that was over 70 degrees, his eyes flashed and he said it was delicious.
Since then, I’ve been paying close attention to strong alcohol, but I thought it wouldn’t hurt to be docile if I tamed it as a bait.
But does Shinsu get drunk when he drinks?
[Don’t get drunk!]
If he says so, say yes.
With an empty schedule, I headed to the Berserker to check Yongyong’s skills.
I wondered how the self-proclaimed Shinsoo would evaluate Berserker.
He was staying in Yeongwol, Gangwon-do, and he proudly read and chewed on my call asking where he was.
If anyone sees it, they’ll know that he had a bad comment and even took a dive.
They should be treated with harsh corporal punishment.
Even if he was hiding anyway, there was nothing he could do in front of the location tracking.
The guy who enjoyed leisurely camping sighed as he got out of the car.
“How did you know here again?”
“There is a way.”
“Did you even put a location tracker on it?”
Then, while looking around, the locator endured the words “smartphone in your hand” coming up to the tip of your neck.
But by this time, isn’t it time to realize that the smartphone is the problem?
I think that might be the concept.
“How have you been?”
“It was like any other time. If you see a villain while walking around, catch it and hunt down monsters.”
faithfully sent You talk like it’s nothing, but it was clear that he was sharpening a knife at me.
By the way, I’ll have to look at the dragon now.
Yong-yong.
[yes?]
How crazy is he?
I wonder if there are other crazy people like that in the world.
[Aren’t you crazy?]
huh? What are you talking about now?
[I’m not crazy.]
Are you saying that now?
[It’s in your refrigerator, is there any food that’s a day or two past the expiration date? You can still eat it! That’s it.]
Then I?
[You are about 3 years past the expiration date! You can never eat it! If you eat it, you die! It’s perfect to compare like this! Aren’t I great?]
