Basically, I seek a speedy move when subduing my opponent. Procrastinating the fight would consume unnecessary energy, so it is of course better to deal with it quickly.
Naturally, catching Herbert is the idea of maximizing the effect with minimal damage.
I thought it wouldn’t be a problem, as they attacked at a time no one expected.
“yes?”
Suddenly, my arms became heavy. I felt the weight of over several hundred kilograms, but for a moment my movements became dull. It was fixed quickly, but it was clear that a gap had been created.
I think it’s a gift, but what’s the principle?
“Take me back!”
That short time was enough for the two bodyguards to move. Herbert stepped back and tried to get out of the room, and the bodyguards tried to defend him with meat bullets.
This is a very good standard way of guarding.
It’s a no-brainer method for me.
Whoops!
“Uh-huh!”
I sniped through Herbert’s ankle. While the guards’ composure was shaken for a moment as they watched him sit down, they occupied the entrance and strode closer to the president.
“Stop!”
“Have you tried to stop it?”
A large white bodyguard blocked me and swung a baton. I tried to avoid it lightly, but in an instant, my body became heavy. This is similar to what happened a while ago.
But you can’t be beaten once, never twice. Thirsty for the achievements, I stopped for a moment as the status ailments were dispelled at a terrifying speed, and then, without difficulty, I reached out and poured out mines.
The white bodyguard, too, was initially a tolerant bone, but as smelting was added, the bones that had endured stronger than titanium screamed and cracked.
“Wow!”
puck!
As he bent over, he kicked his stomach and flew to the wall. And seeing the one remaining bodyguard standing next to the president and concentrating, he shot a hole in the shoulder with a sniper.
“Wow!”
Just by looking at it, he was a space-moving gift holder who was placed so that he could escape in case of emergency.
As if concentration was scattered during the first sniper, the force surrounding him dispersed, and as the bullets pierced the opposite shoulder, side, and thigh, he collapsed as it was.
There are only two, but both are superhumans. So it took some time.
Yes, it’s just a matter of delaying the time for a while.
If the mobility of the target to catch anything is lost, the next thing is to fall into a burden.
I used to use a lot of tactics like this when I was a bloodthirsty person to eliminate the target and run away.
I went to the president, erasing old memories that had come to me after a long time. But Anna Christine blocked the way.
“Why do you stop?”
“Why are you attacking me?”
“That’s because he’s a villain in the league.”
“yes? What does that mean!”
“Did you not tell me? I can tell who the villains in the league are.”
In fact, it was close to distinguishing between ordinary people and villains. Still, since I killed so many league villains, I was able to tell which one was the league’s villain.
“Wait, now that means… … .”
“Is that great? Seeing that the league has also created the world’s most powerful president.”
“No, that’s absurd.”
Anna Christine looked at me and Herbert in disbelief.
Does that change the truth?
After all, the League is a dissident group sweeping across the globe. Already, some countries are overthrown by the league and accept the league’s ideology.
It made other countries feel a serious sense of crisis. The overthrow of the state meant that the existing vested interests were deprived of power.
Of course, apart from that, the ideology of the League of Awakened supremacy stands out.
According to League ideology, I too can benefit the most, but Awakened supremacy is nothing more than an idea that, in the end, they will occupy and enjoy a limited pie.
I don’t think that’s terribly wrong. Because the standard of the law is different when measuring the awakened and the non-awakened, and discrimination based on level is also taking place.
I just don’t like the fact that, in my eyes, he’s that guy and he’s done a mortal thing and claims he’s an Awoken.
[After all, you don’t like the way scoundrels sell things.]
Also, Shinsoo. That’s right.
I just do what I see and feel. After all, the answer is fixed, so the process has to be put together. And it’s been my specialty to get people who tell lies that aren’t the truth to tell the truth.
Herbert, too, was at first startled, but soon resigned.
“… I never thought I would bring up the old days.”
“President?”
“That’s right. I was once in a league. To be precise, I wanted to be part of the league.”
“… … !”
Everyone except me and the president looked astonished.
Herbert got up calmly and came over to the sofa where he had been sitting for the first time and offered me a seat.
I made a hole in my ankle to prevent it from escaping, but it moves better than I thought.
I guess it’s true that the US-made healing agent works well. I’ll have to pick up a few when I get back.
“Let me talk in detail.”
* * *
Herbert R Klein was an Awakened and American First, and was elected president with enthusiastic support.
Re-election in the upcoming presidential election is considered likely to be successful, and during his tenure in office, he succeeded in recovering lost territories and expanding his influence in both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Although he was criticized for being light-hearted for his witty and informal behavior, he showed more of a leader rather than a boss, and many voters supported him.
He hated the league more than anyone and emphasized solidarity with the world, but he came from the league.
“To be precise, I never belonged to a league. I just sympathize with their values.”
Herbert said frankly that it wasn’t until he became a presidential candidate that he thought he belonged to the league.
“It is said that everyone is equal, but it is the elite few who lead the world. Humans were infinitely weak in the face of the threat of monsters. I believed that giving preference to the Chosen Awoken was the only way we could overcome the crisis before us.”
But Herbert’s thoughts were shattered when he ran for president and became president.
The party that established the system before the league was also a group that pursued similar values with only a different cover. And what they came up with was actually a means to justify their domination, and there was no cause anywhere in it.
The justification of government through the idolization of the minority. Realizing that the League’s ideas could not change the world for the better, Herbert chose to break up with the League and distanced himself from the party.
“That’s why you can say that you’ve benefited from the league, but you’re not part of the league.”
The new value that Herbert intends to promote is the American dream, the spirit of America.
Countless people with dreams gather and mix like a furnace and become one. I thought that the endless competition in the midst of that was the driving force for the United States to seize global hegemony.
“For that, I thought that taking the initiative in the West was my priority, so I commissioned you, Head Breaker.”
Herbert’s explanation ended there. There are countless processes that were omitted in the middle, but the conclusion was that they broke up with the league and were going to destroy the league.
“It’s hard to believe that it’s an excuse all over again.”
“… haha.”
Hearing my murmur, the two bodyguards clasped next to Herbert. However, he did not show any further action as he recalled the crash that occurred a while ago.
“Jack and Chris are one of my few reliable colleagues and friends. Please don’t bother me any more.”
“It will depend on the answer. Before that, I have an answer for you.”
“I will answer anything.”
“Why does it smell like a league?”
“Oh, you mean that? There was a time when I was obsessed with league history. That’s when the league approached me.”
The League approached Herbert and handed him some items to win his favor.
“One of them was an early version of Boost. It has no side effects, but it helps to increase the amount of force.”
“and?”
Herbert said with a smirk.
“I was elected and handed over their information and wiped out all of them.”
“The reason why some of the league forces were wiped out at that time… … .”
Anna Christine shouted in surprise. He said that there was an incident at the time when the league was hit hard in the East and most of its forces were wiped out.
“What do you think?”
“The president has been so completely in control of his actions that he has no connection with the league. So I didn’t find any loopholes. We broke up with the past by sweeping away the league forces.”
“It was a shameful past. What did I see that said I liked these guys?”
“Don’t say any more.”
Anna Christine might have been convinced, but I wasn’t.
“All villains make holes for them to escape.”
“Five!”
Adding a plausible story to something that could have been overlooked made me more suspicious than convinced.
Herbert grew serious at my expression, which was not at all convincing.
“How can I prove my sincerity?”
I don’t know about that either. In fact, there were times when I was confused about which direction to look in. If the President of the United States is a member of the League, should the United States be said to have eaten the League, or should it be viewed as a deviation from the President of the United States?
It’s the US government that commissioned me, so it’s actually a league commission, but it’s complicated.
Then you have to prove that Herbert is innocent.
“The best thing is brainwashing.”
“paddle! I hate that!”
Herbert hated it, and Anna Christine was terrified.
“Wait! That can’t be!”
“Then is there another way?”
Anna Christine said as if waiting for my question.
“Daniel Logan, the Vice President, he will surely give you the answer.”
Herbert R Klein’s running mate and lifelong defender of America. Contrary to his soft appearance, he was only restrained because of his radical ideology, which was a super hardliner, and his heart for America was truly appreciated.
I’ve seen it in Korea too. At the time, we had a few words through an interpreter, and we communicated quite well.
As Anna Christine said, I really liked how she was a super-hard-headed villain and relentless.
However, there is a part where she is mistaken, and even if she has dedicated her life to the country, she can become a villain.
If you believe in that, you might get hit in the back of the head someday, well, that’s not something I’d be concerned about.
If the Vice President is also a member of the League, we can collect them all at once. Even if the Vice President brings reinforcements, it is enough to kill them all and escape. Because I have a dragon, the most useful means of escape in the world.
[Is treatment good only in such cases?]
gossiping.
I pretended not to hear and said to Anna Christine.
“Then call me.”
“My life was at stake for a yangban who was usually nagging. I will be very upset.”
Herbert mumbled in a relaxed manner.
Did you mean to just do brainwashing?
* * *
“Herbert is not in the league. One thing I can say for sure.”
The vice president, who came to the suite at Anna Christine’s call, explained to me with a pale face at the explanation that the president was once in a league.
“Above all, this guy has neither the ability to hide secrets from everyone nor the acting skills.”
“Hey, you’re mean.”
“Shut up you! You’re saving me now!”
“Yeah, but I feel like a complete idiot.”
“Shut up because you’re an idiot.”
“… … .”
Contrary to his appearance, Herbert once fell into an idealistic and had a league in mind as a tool to make it happen. But when I said I could feel the league energy, I frowned and looked at Herbert.
“You, maybe… … .”
“I ate what the league gave me. It worked well.”
“Crazy child. I’d rather die I will assume the presidency.”
“Calm down, Daniel. You’re on a bad relationship with Congress, don’t you? I need to be able to get Congressional support.”
“I think it would be more helpful for the country to just die.”
“It’s not.”
“Die at once. If it doesn’t help the country, it will come back to life.”
“Is that going to happen?”
A comte was unfolding in front of his eyes. From the looks of it, Herbert seems to be a bit of a ruthless man, and the vice president seems to be a hard worker.
America is also a great country.
“Anyway, this guy is not in the league.”
“It’s been a while, but after looking at it, I don’t think it’s me either.”
At the words of the Vice President and Anna Christine, the ball passed to me.
How?
They said they were guaranteed, but they had less than 1% influence on my decision.
Anyway, since I came here, I also wanted to achieve my goals, so it would be better to compromise in an appropriate area.
“what if.”
Then Herbert opened his mouth.
“If I don’t trust you, you can kill me.”
“Herbert!”
“If you can earn the trust of a head breaker with that, it’s not a loss-making business.”
It seemed quite cohesive. And as a result of my intuition, I realized that Herbert’s words were sincere.
To be able to risk one’s life without hesitation is to say that it is so proud.
But it makes me grumpy to admit that.
I glanced at the Vice President and asked.
“Are you confident that you will perform well in the presidency? From now on, I will call you President.”
“… … .”
Then I glanced to the side, and Herbert’s face was covered in sweat.
