The difference between the party and the U.S. government may be understandable. I can’t expect such an offer to come.
“Listen to the story first.”
“It’s an obvious story. The government doesn’t want the party to get any bigger than this. Even if the party is in turmoil, its influence on America is still strong. But the cut off the Atlantic Ocean, the division of the league, gave the government new opportunities. The president wants this structure to last longer.”
“Any other plans?”
“The disadvantage of being discovered by Junho is greater than the gain of hiding it.”
I know you well.
Seriously, I’ve been smashing the heads of guys I’ve been working on for a while, so it’s weird not to know.
[You are being treated like a bomb, are you satisfied with that?]
Whether it’s a bomb or a landmine, the intention to deceive me is important. If anyone gets caught, I’ll go. And this proposal brought by Anna Christine was transparent enough to show her intentions.
And my answer is fixed.
“Don’t refuse.”
“It is, too.”
That’s it.
Anna Christine asked me why or didn’t.
“I didn’t mean to convince you.”
“In the beginning, there was almost no material to convince Junho. But from the government’s point of view, they wanted to try their luck. So I went. It was a natural story, but I knew it was going to fail.”
“Is this an intentional failure?”
“Yes. The government doesn’t have high expectations and I’m glad to know Junho’s thoughts. I did the difficult work myself, so I will receive more work in the future.”
In a nutshell, this offer is a one-shot with no expectations.
“Is it because the government cares a lot?”
“yes. Especially if the Leviathan is gone, the party can absorb the power of Europe.”
“I don’t think that would be easy.”
“It really won’t be easy. But it’s a scary story that it could be possible. The real thing is important, but expectations also determine the value. If it is a party, the influence is even stronger.”
So the government is taking it seriously.
So far I don’t know.
“But is it true that you are not interested in Jung Da-hyun?”
Rather, he was feeling suspicious about his attitude toward Jung Da-hyun.
From my point of view, it was unusual for the US to give up to Jeong Da-hyun, but I wondered if Anna Christine would give up so easily.
Anna Christine squinted her eyes.
“Of course it is a lie. He is sure to become a superman in the future, has no problems with his personal life, and has a straight personality. Besides, she has a beautiful face. If Dahyun becomes an American superman, she will rise to the ranks of world stars at once.”
Appearance is also important here. In fact, since I have actually benefited from it, I am well aware of its power.
Anna Christine said that the presence of Jeong Da-hyun in particular can be a symbol that can raise the loyalty of Asians.
“Then why did you say you weren’t interested?”
“It’s all a strategy.”
“strategy?”
“It’s not just that women are attracted to bad men. There are various ways to hire a superman. One of them is that pretending not to be interested creates curiosity.”
He showed pride in saying that he had brought many superhumans in this way.
If it were me, I would have just turned it off, but I thought that there are so many different tastes in the world.
“But in this case, I am not really interested. It would be nice if Dahyun voluntarily naturalized, but I know that Junho won’t stay still if he works. I don’t want my head to fly away, so I’m taking a step back.”
As time has passed, people who know me well are starting to come out one after another. The more you do this, the more you want to do something unexpected.
Because the guy who is overconfident that he knows about me always tries to take advantage of it.
[If the person in front of you hears it, you will be terrified.]
I have triggered the tree frog symbol, and I have no intention of doing so, so it’s okay. And I know what I’m feeling these days, the more people know about me, the more people are careful not to irritate me.
Being predictable means that accidents can be prevented in advance. If you kill all the guys who use it for bad intentions, good things like this happen.
“I’ll leave it up to the individual doctor, but Dahyun Jung is like a disciple.”
“Then, if you bring Dahyun to the US, is there a possibility for Junho too?”
“Why are you talking like that?”
“Just? I’m curious.”
A light shone in Anna Christine’s eyes. Are you trying to bring not only Jung Da-hyun but also me to America?
“You don’t know what people do.”
“There is still a contract period, so I will instruct you to prepare a nice proposal. I think the best place for Junho is America.”
Anna Christine said that she would make me bring her even if she offered one state in the United States.
Even if it’s meant to lift me up, it’s an exaggeration.
“Will the government accept it?”
“sure. Without Junho, the party wouldn’t be running wild any longer.”
And the prospects laid out seemed quite plausible.
If I come to the United States, the party will not be active, so the whole power may go to Europe, and a more stable balance will be achieved than now. They were taking out plans one after another as if they had been waiting.
This seems to have been prepared from scratch.
[I think the target was you in the first place?]
right?
Yong-yong and I all agreed with each other.

While rejecting the government’s proposal and contemplating the Phantom’s proposal, I met several people in the United States.
Among them were the American oil companies called the Petroleum Cartels, and there were the Awakening Equipment companies that distributed the Big Bang series.
If the route that united the world was broken and countries that could not supply oil had a sudden change in using the heart of a monster as an energy source, the United States, which can supply oil on its own, will compete fiercely for energy sources using oil and force. It was a state of affairs.
This is an advantage of a resource-rich country.
The oil company wanted to use my safe navigation method, and the equipment company wanted to hear how to further improve the quality of the Big Bang series.
Since I don’t have a lot of talent in business, only basic conversations took place, but one thing is for sure, I could see that the scale of the United States was different.
Among them, the most impressive encounters were the Zolaman and the Ph.D. bodybuilders.
The main content I shared with those I met while still boasting of their physical beauty was how to deal with graduate students efficiently.
I asked him if he could make a strong body that could withstand high-speed flight as he had a knack for body remodeling, but the answer was negative.
“Jun Ho! A strong body is nothing more than a human level. There are only two ways to overcome that limit. Gifts and drugs.”
However, he said that it would not be strange if a gift at the level I wanted could be called legendary, and it would not be possible to predict what kind of side effects would come from strengthening it through drugs.
Of course, drugs were not an option. Then there is no other way than to get a gift.
I also thought that it would be possible to do it just because I had a knack for body remodeling. When we meet every day, we talk about how many 3s we play, so I was expecting it, but it was okay.
When there is hope, there is also disappointment.
“But Junho is in a very advantageous position even if he doesn’t use it.”
“why?”
“Yeah, Junho is a jerk because there are outstanding graduate students!”
“It’s already been said that there is a limit.”
After playing around a bit, these days, the riots of the gift selves were no joke.
At my words, Zolaman opened his eyes and opened the lion’s head.
“What nonsense! All of that is terrifying!”
“What?”
“It’s because Junho never really squeezed it! If you squeeze it out, more comes out that you are a graduate student!”
“It’s not some kind of never-drying spring.”
But Zolaman’s attitude was serious.
“Squeeze and squeeze! Then water will come out even from a dry rag!”
I think the dry rag will be torn to pieces before then.
But Zolaman’s words are true. In the following words, graduate students are only graduate students, and they have no choice but to be passive about what they are told. Don’t be fooled by the sometimes active appearance, and I sympathized with you that even if you push yourself to the limit, there is something to squeeze out.
Don’t expect a sense of ownership from graduate students. This was Zolaman’s advice.
That’s very correct.
Why am I so sure of that.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
Because the selves within me are going crazy. It’s not human language, but the vivid life that I will kill as much as I can, gave me confidence.
This is the right direction.
“Thank you, I’m using it well.”
“Tell me whenever you need to. I’ll do my best to help.”

There was no reason to think about Leviathan for a long time.
After all the scheduled meetings, at the meeting with the Phantom, I talked about the commission.
“I want to hear how you take care of me.”
“We share the essentials we have.”
Phantom unfolded the gift package as if waiting.
These were gifts that conveyed my will that I would never let go if I was willing to accept the quest.
Food, weapons, energy.
In the United States, the world’s most blessed land, I promised to export abundant grain, and promised to provide the world’s most developed Smart Hunting System (SHS). He also mentioned the know-how of force processing that processed American oil and the heart of a monster.
It was a story about offering a party that holds the most necessary things in the present age.
It was safe to say that he risked his life and death in hunting Leviathan.
If that’s the case, there’s no reason for me to refuse either.
“I accept the hunting quest.”
“I readily accept it. Good, good.”
A smile that had never been seen before was drawn on Phantom’s lips. I could see just how much the Leviathan had made him so heartbroken.
Well, as a monster, he definitely achieved a high level, but he also absorbed the essence of the divine beast. Besides, it has the background of the sea, so hunting would be impossible.
Even if not, sea monsters are usually evaluated one level higher, so it is safe to say that it is a plus plus plus level.
However, the two horns fit snugly in the mouth, and the three horns are fine. I just have to say that he’s the same guy as Yong-yong.
[Why am I here?]
Still, since I absorbed the essence of the divine beast, wouldn’t I be as strong as you?
[I am much stronger.]
You say it strongly, knowing that you can’t confirm it. It’s an act of kindness.
Anyway, looking at it like this, he’s quite a challenger.
“Since they welcomed you coolly, we also provide services.”
“What service?”
“We will take care of Jung Da-hyun’s parents.”
It was completely unexpected. Phantom explained that this was a trivial service.
It was not something that could come out overnight. I would have done some research on the relationship between me and Dahyun Jung, and I would have waited until I came to the US to solve it.
“Tell me more.”
“Unlike Jung Da-hyun, my parents were very greedy. However, it has not been satisfied due to racial limitations and personal relationships. That grievance is to the point where the daughter’s path is blocked. Our party will fulfill that.”
His skills aren’t bad, so he said that he would fill in the gaps at the party.
Of course, this is something to say when you look good.
If you look into the reality, it sounds like you’re trying to hold Jeong Da-hyun’s parents hostage.
Do you really need to?
“Isn’t it better to just remove them?”
“What?”
“I think that would be more comfortable with each other.”
“Do you get rid of it just because it bothered you? They are both greedy but talented. And aren’t you the parents of the disciple you cherish?”
“It is.”
People who are greedy always have accidents. So I think it’s better to remove it than to leave it alone.
“You shouldn’t do that even for Jeong Da-hyun.”
“Of course, Dahyun Jung should not know.”
It’s annoying to blow your head off, and it’s not like it’s a natural death if you want to.
Still, the Phantom said he would come forward, so I’ll have to wait and see.
“Then we’ll see and decide.”
“It is a wise choice.”
Phantom, who wiped his chest, shook his head.
[Fake madness is meaningless in front of real madness.]
Yongyong must have been impressed with the madness of the Phantom.
[Isn’t that it?]
