After anchoring the yacht, I was greeted by Abdul Arke, the commander of the Brunei Royal Guard and the only superman.
“Welcome to Brunei, brother.”
“I didn’t expect to see you this early.”
“I expected this to happen. I didn’t know it would happen in a neighboring country. I am happy to be able to help.”
“Thank you for your help in Brunei.”
Abdul Arke must have known that seeing me again couldn’t be a good thing.
Viktor Carvalho’s information this time was also very helpful for Brunei’s story.
He’s shown me a strange favor, and I’m curious as to why.
I don’t see any other thoughts. Listening to the story will reveal the truth.
deal with it first.
“I’m going to Timor-Leste right away.”
“As promised, the plane is ready. But it’s late, so why not take a day off today and leave tomorrow?”
“Well.”
“I have information to give to your brother, so you may be favored.”
Abdul Arke said he had more information about East Timor and a gift for me.
Next to me, Yang Joo-hyuk was looking at me with eager eyes. Well, unlike me, who wants to get things done quickly, he’s quite tired.
There’s no need to decline the gift you’re giving.
“All right.”
“Then I will see you.”
I and Yang Joo-hyuk followed Abdul Arke’s guidance and moved to a nearby mansion.
Joo-hyeok Yang, tired from the long voyage, went to rest, and I had a conversation with Abdul Arke.
“First of all, I expressed concern about the situation in Timor-Leste because it is related to the situation in my home country.”
“Say it.”
According to Abdul Arke, Brunei and Timor-Leste are small countries in Southeast Asia and are working closely together to avoid being swayed by large powers.
Brunei was intertwined with Malaysia and East Timor with Indonesia.
However, in Malaysia, the superman Rashid is a bright person and can compromise at an appropriate level, whereas Indonesia and East Timor do not.
In particular, Viktor Carvalho had a history of killing several Awakened Indonesians in the past, so the tension was high.
It may be viewed as Indonesia’s greed, but the East Timorese side said it was not enough to justify it.
“Carvalho is very greedy.”
“For the superman, greed is a positive thing.”
“The problem is about greed that goes beyond one’s own subject.”
Viktor Carvalho, who has recently felt his limitations, has shown restraint and started to wield his greed again.
Abdul Arke cited meeting with me as the cause.
It is said that Victor Carvalho, who met me first, experienced short-term results and strengthened his power based on it.
“Carvalho would have thought that Superman would never come this far.”
“I was planning to go from the beginning.”
“Normal people wouldn’t think that way.”
“I mean, it’s weird. I’m willing to go, so why do they think what they want?”
“I think the same.”
Abdul Arke said that Victor Carvalho had a reason to act this way.
“I think it has to do with the league or the party.”
“League aside, a party?”
“There is talk of breaking the old policy of lockdown and finding a partner locally. The offer came to me, so it must have been Viktor.”
“It sounds like you got it.”
“For now, this is the most likely story.”
In any case, it is at the level of a local partner in the end. But I thought I might be attracted to a superman on the outskirts.
He didn’t even know that the price was his own life.
If you go to Timor-Leste, you can get more information.
Information about Victor Carvalho is there.
I moved on to the next one.
“So, what is the benefit of Brunei this time?”
“We want East Timor to be a healthy country. It would be nice if Victor could come to his senses, but if that doesn’t work, we’re going to try to find a relationship in a different direction.”
The President of Timor-Leste has been working hard to improve the national constitution for a long time, and it was said that this constitutional improvement was necessary even for him, not for Victor Carvalho.
He’s a very trustworthy person. As you stand at the opposite end of Viktor Carvalho, you will often meet with me.
Somehow, it felt like being commissioned by Brunei, but it doesn’t matter.
“All right.”
Because everyone has their own interests.
I decided not to care too much about the profits Brunei would get by getting rid of Victor Carvalho.
We only get rid of those who violated the contract.
“I have no intention of sitting still and making a profit.”
“Think you were lucky.”
“no. It’s good to be certain of anything from the point of view of profit.”
“What do you mean?”
“My country is very interested in the brotherly order that will be established in the future.”
Abdul Arke said with certainty that a new order would be reorganized around me.
Am I the new order?
“The existence of brothers is already disrupting the existing order. It is up to the brother to decide how to do it. We look forward to your positive judgment.”
* * *
“Then I’ll see you when I’m done.”
Abdul Arke left his seat after completing his duties. Brunei’s intentions were clear. To enjoy the maximum benefit by occupying a seat early in the new order to be established. It is quick judgment and action.
than that.
I was bothered by the ‘The Legend of Malacca’, which came out of what Abdul Arke was talking about.
It is said that the existence of this legend that should never go against one’s intentions is feared by all countries in Southeast Asia.
I asked Yong-yong, who was standing next to me.
“Is the friend you mentioned living near here?”
[uh? how.]
“If it’s a legend they’re talking about, it’s one of them. a monster or a divine beast. One of the two seems to be more powerful.”
[…] right.]
Yongyong rolled his eyes and admitted. It looked like it was difficult to accept, but judging from what I’ve seen so far, I can see that he and I don’t like the meeting of ‘friends’.
“I’ve come all the way here, shall I see you?”
[You don’t have to. Wouldn’t it be better to get things done first?]
“Why are you trying to turn around?”
[Not like that, that’s it! He has a very bad temper. Rather, it will become involved in a dispute. Only you get tired.]
That’s what I kept saying. But since I’ve come all the way here, I thought it would be nice to meet you. Since there is only one dragon dragon that I have seen so far, it seemed good to specify what kind of existence the divine beast is.
“Do you still want to see it?”
[Are you really trying to fight?]
“I will talk.”
[Do you believe that?]
What if you don’t believe it?
The more I looked at Yong-yong’s suspicious appearance, the more confident I became in my heart.
“Tell me that you want to go nearby and meet me.”
[…] … .]
“I’ve seen that guy anyway, isn’t it okay?”
[okay.]
Yong-yong looked reluctant, but he agreed. Finally, we will see a divine beast who used monsters as pets.
Yong-yong left to call a friend, and I and Yang Joo-hyuk headed to Timor-Leste early the next morning.
Yachts are good, but planes are the best for travel.
They escaped the realm of flying monsters and returned to Timor-Leste.
There, he met a man in his early 40s who was a local resident and played the role of Humint.
“My name is Woomin Lee.”
He identified himself as the deputy director of the overseas division of the National Intelligence Service of the Republic of Korea.
There is also an informant in Timor-Leste, and I thought it was strange.
“Right now, Victor Carvalho is working with the Prime Minister to press the President.”
“I think the prime minister was not a scarecrow.”
“Yes. It appears that the prime minister is unable to overcome his powers, but internally, it is believed that he has colluded with Victor Carvalho.”
At the same time, Lee Woo-min presented a diagram of the relationship between Victor Carvalho and the Prime Minister of Timor-Leste.
Although not related by blood, it is said that the uncle of Victor Carvalho’s old friend’s wife is the current prime minister.
Isn’t that him?
Yang Joo-hyuk said with an absurd expression, whether he was thinking the same thing.
“Isn’t that enough?”
“Victor Carvalho is also aiming for that. So the prime minister is taking the form of being strategically drawn and trying to seize power in the National Assembly.”
And he said that Victor Carvalho’s goal was to resign the current president and take over the power of the country by appointing a person that suits his taste.
You mean leagues or parties here?
Apparently, the NIS part didn’t even notice that.
Or maybe Abdul Arke’s assumptions were overstated.
First of all, I decided to put aside my thoughts and listen to information that I had grasped locally.
“Who is the President of Timor-Leste?”
“He’s a pretty good character. If I had to compare him, he looked a lot like the current president.”
“Then you must be a good person.”
“… … .”
Woo-min Lee looked at me with an absurd gaze for a moment and then explained about the East Timor president, Americu.
It is said that he came from the Awakened, who armed himself and started a movement to arrest the villain at a time when the boundaries between the villain and the awakened were vague.
You are a gentleman with a great mind.
He declared that education was the best in Timor-Leste, with a small population, and said that he had a nurturing system with the goal of making all the people awakened.
Here, it is said that they are following various policies by benchmarking the Republic of Korea, which is currently running the most successful road, and the support rate is high as the expected results are coming out.
He seems like a good character if you just listen to the story.
“How does the NIS judge?”
“As long as President Americu is friendly to his country, I think it is better to maintain the current relationship.”
“okay.”
“May I ask what you think?”
Lee Woo-min asked carefully. When I looked at him, he said with a puzzled expression.
“Director Cheon Myeong-guk told Cho In-nim to check before acting, so I’m sorry if I was rude.”
“If it’s an instruction, I can’t do anything about it.”
In any case, the fuss of Cheon Myeong-guk should be known.
Who wouldn’t know that I’m someone who buys and shoots all over the place?
I confessed that I had finished organizing my thoughts.
“I think it would be easy to end the situation if we cut the heads of the Prime Minister and Victor, but I thought the president would have nothing to do with it.”
“You mean President America? It will not.”
Woo-min Lee denied it, but I thought it wouldn’t hurt to check it once.
It’s because villains do a lot of things beyond imagination.
“It’s going to be a beleaguered situation anyway, so we’ll talk and decide.”
“… All right.”
* * *
Although the borders of the East Timor Presidential Palace were quite strict, it was so lax that it was hard to believe that it was a place to protect the president of a country.
Rather, it felt more difficult to infiltrate Shinsung Group Chairman Lee Young-moon’s mansion.
But the guys standing on the guard felt more like monitoring the president than protecting them.
They say we don’t get along, but it seems to be true.
Upon entering the room, a man in his late 50s was asleep. He was the President of Timor-Leste, Americu.
It was time to approach him to wake him up in order to have a conversation.
Americu, who thought he was asleep, opened his eyes and reflexively sprinted towards him and stabbed his dagger.
He said he was the president, and one surprise was excellent.
Quad Duck!
“Ugh!”
He reflexively grabbed his wrist and broke it. If you wake up, we’ll talk quietly, but why do you rush and injure yourself?
The dagger taken from the President’s hand was made of a Hunter Killer.
They even have dangerous stuff.
When I didn’t move any further, Americu stepped back and took a vigilant stance.
“Are you the one who came to kill me?”
“Speak English.”
“Are you here to kill me? Did Carvalho send you?”
“no.”
I shook my head and sat down on the guest chair. As I suggested a seat across from him, Americu, who was holding his wrist, smirked and approached me. Then he looked at my face to see if he had gotten used to the darkness and put on a surprised expression.
“Headbreaker?”
“you’re right.”
“How are you here… … .”
“Give me your hand before that.”
I snatched Americu’s broken wrist and poured a healing agent.
“Ugh.”
His gaze was fixed on me as he let out a low moan at the pain that was recovering.
Obviously, seeing Americu’s reaction, Victor Carvalho thought that he didn’t even know I was coming this far.
So you must be doing something to die for.
“I heard that Victor Carvalho is doing something futile. I would like to hear from the President.”
“If you abuse your power, the grim reaper will come, was that true?”

Mumbling with a sigh, Americu explained the current situation in Timor-Leste.
It all started with the change of heart of Victor Carvalho. He is portrayed as the culprit, but the prime minister also said he played a significant role.
After listening to it all, I came to a simple conclusion.
“It’s just a matter of disappearing only Victor Carvalho and the Prime Minister.”
“… but.”
“Then we take care of them.”
“Come on, wait!”
As I was about to get up, Americu grabbed me.
“Can you leave the Prime Minister in my hands?”
“Isn’t it annoying?”
“Politicians have to end politically. Leave it to me.”
“All right. And when Victor Carvalho dies, there will be no superhumans in East Timor.”
“It would be better for him to disappear. On the contrary, if he disappears, we will be able to unite more firmly and rise to a higher level.”
If you have that kind of determination, you will be able to do it well.
I also have no reluctance to kill him.
“All right. I’ll deal with it and come back.”
I headed towards the residence of Victor Carvalho.
* * *
Victor Carvalho smiled at the opportunity that had come to him.
“You cannot miss this opportunity.”
East Timor, a small country in Southeast Asia, was called the frontier among the frontiers of the world.
Although he reigned like a king in East Timor, he did not forget his gaze on himself whenever he went abroad.
He promised to set a good example at any time, but it was not easy to develop his skills.
So, when I was half giving up, a chance arose.
Junho Choi, who is famous as a headbreaker, rebelled against the existing order and started to ‘look after’ the skills of the superhumans.
Victor Carvalho, longing for power, did not miss the opportunity. And there, I saw the existence of the sky outside the sky.
It was an overwhelming skill. At the same time, I did not understand.
Why are you doing good things with your skills?
Although the contract had been drawn up in advance, Victor Carvalho was not concerned.
Because I didn’t think I’d come this far to do a job that didn’t make any sense.
“Do you think there are people who are intimidated by a piece of paper like that? Huh!”
It will be remembered as a devastating failure of a child who is still inexperienced.
Above all, the proposal of the ‘party’ that made him take action was attractive.
“They will think of me as a scarecrow, but times have changed. If you have the strength, you can achieve everything.”
It was a time when skill decided everything.
Isn’t Choi Jun-ho also being praised for his skills alone, even if he rebelled against the world order established by the party?
When you have the power, there is nothing you cannot do.
First of all, it is best to have the power to do so.
Victor Carvalho wanted to have everything he needed for the Awakened, although training was important. Some of them were illegal.
“Americu, if it wasn’t for that strong yangban, it would have been faster.”
In the midst of that, Americu, who interrupted everything by saying that he wanted to walk the right way, was a hindrance.
Before long, getting rid of the annoying Americu had become the most important thing.
We have chosen the Prime Minister as our partner to deal with this together. If he’s been rolling around in politics, he’ll be able to deal with the president. The prime minister thinks he will wield himself, but Victor Carvalho is different.
If the number is wrong, you can act like Junho Choi. The era has come when a person with power will be forgiven even if he twists his neck if he catches the corruption of a ruler.
It was a precedent set by Choi Jun-ho, and it was order. If it’s what you need, I’m willing to take it.
Not much left now.
Do everything possible to completely take East Timor and unlock the gift.
Victor Carvalho had no doubts that his plan would succeed.
“Is that the end?”
“What?”
Victor Carvalho turned his head to the place where the voice had come from, and his heart was pounding! I felt the shock of falling.
I don’t know since when, but Choi Jun-ho was sitting there.
“Tell me more.”
