Crazy Villain Regains Consciousness

72 episodes

In the chilly atmosphere, Junho Choi raised his hand.

“It looks like it needs editing. Thinking back on it, the treatment of villains seems to be overkill. You may make a mistake in your calculations, and there may be cases where you pay a penalty. It would be a crime if you don’t follow that.”

“Ah yes.”

Go Ye-jin was relieved and changed the topic.

“Come to think of it, I heard that the World Federation of Supernatural Powers Day event is going to be held in Japan soon. Do you think Choi Jun-ho and Cho-in will also attend?”

“That part is currently under consideration.”

Although it was a topic that was not related to tax payment, it was not a bad flow to edit separately.

Se-hee Lee, who had been watching the process, left.

“Whoa!”

When I think of the words I heard a while ago, I feel like my hair is fading.

All businesses do their best to save on taxes. It was taken for granted that it crossed between legal and illegal. Businesses are at war with taxes to the extent that they are sometimes illegal. Then, if they make a big mistake, they pay a fine, and sometimes the business owner goes to jail.

That also applies to Shinsung Group. No, he is the most active in this field in the first crisis of the business world. The most will come out if you shave.

Returning to the office, Se-hee Lee immediately called Yeong-tan Lee and gave her orders.

“I make sure to review your tax payments on all fronts. As much as possible, within the framework of legality, I do not want to be criticized.”

“Captain, you need to reconsider this.”

“This is right.”

Lee Young-tan tried to persuade him repeatedly, but Lee Se-hee firmly shook her head.

This will cost an astronomical amount of money, but it is an acceptable bleeding.

Because you can think of it as a cost to be with Choi Jun-ho.

If it goes wrong while trying to save it clumsily, that’s a bigger loss.

“It’s hard to do business with someone who is not greedy for money.”

Thinking about the reason for this happening, he smiled in despair.

The tax-related interview drew an explosive response.

As Go Ye-jin drew a provocative title and Jin Se-jeong’s design was added, the comment section of the Internet article was covered with praise.

I’m just paying my taxes, is this a story to be excited about?

To be honest, the recent trend has been difficult to understand.

“Give up and accept. Then it will be easier.”

Yoon Hee summed it up in a simple way.

It meant that if I didn’t change from usual, the people around me would take care of the rest.

Even if you roll your head for a hundred days, you won’t understand it, so it’s Yoon-hee’s mantra to live as usual.

that would be better

By the way, I was curious to know what the results would be after reporting that Yoon-hee was visiting her parents’ house tomorrow.

And the question of paying taxes was answered by Jung Joo-ho when I went to work for the National Security Agency.

“That’s the story of a lot of people who don’t do what they should do. Paying taxes makes my stomach hurt.”

“The chief too?”

“I am a human too, am I not? When I think about the decrease in refunds every year, my stomach hurts to death. Why do you seem to be plucking more every year, huh?”

Ju-ho Jung, who seems not greedy for money at all, also regrets paying taxes.

Is it a side effect of long escapism during blood clots?

“And it’s a good thing they didn’t call a villain a person who didn’t pay their taxes properly.”

“You think so?”

“uh. How complicated is the tax law? At a time I didn’t know well, I didn’t even report it properly, so I got a call. If you put this on your nose, it’s a nose ring, and if you put it on your ear, it’s an earring. What used to be legal becomes illegal if you do it, but if you treat all those people as villains, more than half of the people in the world will become villains? You should avoid turning half the world into an enemy.”

It means that there are many vague parts to make a judgmental conclusion.

Then, when our eyes met, Jung Joo-ho rolled up the corners of his mouth.

“But there will be some people who will get bored with your interview. There may be some people who are surprised and pay.”

“Ah, maybe.”

“Is it true? You have no idea how scary your words are.”

I was widely known because of how scary people who do if they do it.

Isn’t it natural to say something and put it into action?

“So, how are you today?”

“What?”

“I mean, the fans have grown. Isn’t it good?”

“…not bad.”

It is better to be cheered than to be hated.

It’s a problem because I don’t know why, but I don’t hate it.

It was a strange feeling, but I felt like I was being compensated for not being a villain.

I looked around a bit more.

“Heh, I heard it’s more popular than idols.”

I don’t like Jung Joo-ho’s attitude because it’s a joke.

I have to tell you that the words that go are fine and the words that come are fine.

“Congratulations on taking office this time.”

“…it’s all because of you.”

Jung Joo-ho’s expression, which had been smiling brightly, was immediately distorted. One effect is certain.

But I don’t know why he said to me that he was promoted because of his excellent ability.

Jung Joo-ho was originally recognized for his abilities, but he was appointed as the new head of the new establishment because he perfectly performed the operation to take over Busan as well as the perfect commanding ability at the time of the villain eradication operation.

It was an organization that stood on top of the existing three countries, and it was to become a member of the three-top system together with the director of the Awakening Security Office and the minister.

These were all achievements of Joo-Ho Jung.

I have only one thing to answer the president’s question.

But I don’t know why you’re blaming me.

“If you hadn’t been the best friend of Chief Chen, you would have had a comfortable time here!”

“It’s said to be sulky, isn’t it?”

“You, if it wasn’t for you, I could have been more faithful to my family.”

Even if the reaction is violent, it’s too intense.

I should rather think of it as something that deserves thanks.

Instead of saying thank you, I didn’t feel good because I was only pointed at.

And the facts were very different from what I knew.

“Your wife likes getting a promotion.”

“…how do you know what my wife thinks?”

“I got a call from Dahyun. Thank you. But is it different from what the chief is talking about? Shall we give it a try if we have a threesome with my wife?”

“no. you don’t have to ask do not contact That’s right, my wife really likes it.”

Jung Joo-ho became contemplative and spat out excuses as if he was doing a quick-fire rap. Is your mother’s remark so surprising?

He looked like a newbie hunter who met a dead level 7 monster, so I started to comfort him.

“But, isn’t it better than idle? If I do my job well, I could become the director of the Awakening Security Office or the Minister of Awakening.”

“You don’t really want to be? And I am neither political nor ruling party nor opposition party. I don’t like it all.”

The goal is to eat while cursing both in the middle, thin and long.

“And if you want to become a director, you have to prepare for a personnel hearing, which is annoying.”

“Is there anything stale?”

“… there isn’t. But why are you asking?”

For a moment, I could see my body trembling.

I wondered if there was something wrong, and I laughed at the ridiculous thought.

“Did you just ask because you were worried?”

“It’s because a cold-blooded person like you slaps me on the neck and remains. If you’re going to kill me, promise me you’ll let me go pain free.”

“Ah, didn’t you spend time together with the director? Of course I believe.”

“Hasn’t it been a year?”

That’s it. Since there were so many incidents, it felt like quite a bit of time had passed.

I’m thinking for a moment, but I think Joo-Ho Jung was taken in a different way.

“Hey, don’t you usually say you won’t use your hand when I say this? uh? Don’t you think otherwise?”

take this

“If there are unacceptable incidents, we should think again, right?”

“uh? Really? isn’t it? hey, huh?”

“Look. Then I will see you.”

Jung Joo-ho tried to catch me, but I got out of it quickly.

It won’t be a big day.

* * *

I had a meal with the President, First Lady, and Cheon Myeong-guk. Even there, the name of the group that passed by during the interview was mentioned again.

“The World Federation of Superpowers?”

“It is a famous organization for the Awakened. In English, it is called UPN for short. Do you know?”

“I know. But I thought it had nothing to do with me.”

“There is no connection. There’s nothing wrong with being friendly.”

“Is there any real benefit?”

“Yes. There are many things to evaluate here. One of them is the World Awakened Power Ranking, which is very important for the country.”

Is there anything like that? I thought it was a childish classification, but the president had a different opinion.

“It is a ranking of the Awoken powers of all countries in the world. You can look at it like the old military power rankings. It is an indicator of national dignity in the present era.”

According to the president, the scale of the World Awakening Power Ranking is estimated by taking into account the number of Awakeneds, the number of high-level Awakeneds, the country’s support amount and market size, geographical advantage, frequency of occurrence of monsters, and hunting performance.

It said that Korea has a large number of high-level Awakeneds compared to its population and size, and the frequency of appearance of monsters is relatively low, so it is said that it has been around the top 10 in the world’s Awakened Power Rankings. It can be said that it ranks great compared to the population.

At the peak of history, the ranking was 8th, and after that, it went back and forth between 9th and 11th.

“But this time, for the first time, we achieved 7th place.”

“It’s high.”

Isn’t that the best time in history, according to the president?

I could have liked her a little more, but there was dissatisfaction on her face.

“But we complained that it was too low.”

“Why?”

“It didn’t properly reflect the fact that we, Junho Choi, hunted Nuri alone in the World Association of Superpowers.”

The World Federation of Supernatural Powers said that I am not admitting that I caught Nuri alone as a lie.

I said I caught what I caught. What’s the matter, you guys are weird.

“If applied properly, Korea’s Awakening Power ranking can go up from 4th to 5th. It’s about becoming more than a permanent member of the board.”

I didn’t know that.

Anyway, the rankings fluctuate because of me, to be honest, I wasn’t very interested.

It doesn’t mean that money goes down just because you rank high.

But the president seems to have a different opinion.

“This time, the World Super Powers Day event will be held in Tokyo. How about participating?”

I? Do you really need to?

I wasn’t curious about any other Awakened people, and I didn’t feel the need to go far, even in Tokyo. And they said they don’t believe in hunting Nuri, but seeing only those who are full of disbelief will only reduce their appetite.

Looks like you’re busy killing the arguing guys.

“Can’t we go?”

“·················ogue.”

For a moment, I saw the expression of the president and Cheon Myeong-guk blurred. I guess you wanted me to go

On the contrary, if I leave my seat, it is not good because there is a hole in my work.

As if they noticed my gaze, the two of them hurriedly adjusted their expressions.

“Well! It doesn’t matter if I don’t go, but it doesn’t look bad to go.”

“you’re right. It is a place where you can see supermen from all over the world, except for those who are in charge of essential defense. It will help us see the world wider in the future.”

Do you really need to see the world wider?

Looking at it broadly, my thoughts are that the world is wide and there are many people to kill.

Is this something different?

Anyway, if you do this, there must be a reason.

“Then let’s go.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

Why are the faces brightening?

I didn’t know why until the end of the meal.

* * *

These days, I feel that human beings are a very strange animal.

After meeting Sejeong Jin, I started to manage my image in earnest, and I felt a lot of changes in me as I got people’s favor.

I feel like the hematoma inside me is getting blurry and I’m becoming a real superman, Choi Jun-ho.

Until then, I had no deep attachment or deep thoughts about being a superman. But seeing people supporting me changed my mind.

I look around me once more for nothing, and I wonder if it would be okay if I could help if I was in trouble.

“That’s why Junho can’t be a villain.”

Sehee Lee’s words gave me strength.

Then one day

Today, like any other day, a call came, and he went to the outskirts of support and was on his way back.

While returning by helicopter, something caught my eye when I was just entering Seoul.

Normally I would have just missed it. But the sudden surge of curiosity made it impossible to pass it up.

“Captain Han, please come back first.”

“Yes? Then, Superin-nim…”

“I have something in my eyes. I will go down for a while and then come back.”

“Superman…!”

I heard an answer, but I opened the door and jumped right in.

Perhaps because it suddenly appeared from the sky, all eyes around him were gathered when he landed on the ground. I approached the main character who was stepped on without hesitation.

They were siblings. The girl, who looked like her older sister, appeared to be around 12 to 13 years old, and the boy to be 7 or 8 years old.

“Wow! Hero!”

The boy burst into tears as he saw me descend from the sky, but the girl who looked like an older sister looked at me with a wary expression.

I glanced at the siblings slowly. What caught my attention was the image of him walking down the street wearing old clothes that were not properly maintained.

Even in the inner part of Seoul, the security is not good enough to walk freely. There are villains inside the city, and young children are kidnapped.

Of course, even so, Seoul is Seoul. A city of people who are able to work and pay normal taxes. I wondered if there was a story behind walking around in a place like this.

“you.”

The two flinched at my words.

“Why are you walking around like that?”

“·················ogue.”

“I have nothing to eat! I’m hungry!”

The answer came from a boy. The little girl dragged her sister away so she couldn’t speak any more, but she had already heard it all.

you have nothing to eat? why?

I was puzzled. Even if the country’s situation is not as good as it used to be, would there be minimal support?

In the era of demons and villains, Seoul citizens were the minimum standard for leading a humane life.

“Aren’t you going to support me?”

“I don’t deserve it!”

“It can’t be.”

“I can’t do it, so I’m running around begging like this.”

“Right.”

I couldn’t help but agree with the girl’s sharp words.

But the curiosity did not go away. Seoul is the most powerful city in the world, and special efforts are being made to prevent its citizens from becoming refugees.

When citizens become refugees, most of them join the villains, so it supports families in need so that they can make a living. So, the words of the brothers and sisters do not make sense.

“Let’s go to the office. I will inquire.”

“How do you trust him?”

“Sister, that hyung is a hero.”

I shrugged my shoulders as I looked at my vigilant older sister and a smiling child.

“If in doubt, come a little further away.”

I took the lead and went to the nearby district office with my brother and sister and put in an inquiry.

The official in charge, who looked up the computerized data, said with a puzzled expression.

“I don’t deserve it.”

“Why not?”

“There are caregivers. Families with dependents cannot receive assistance.”

“My father was injured at work. I can’t even afford to pay for the medicine right now…”

said the girl who caught my gaze.

“That’s right.”

“It is difficult though. Even if my father was injured, my mother was raised as a supporter.”

“Mom ran away.”

So, since there is no one to work at home, the brothers and sisters are starving, and the state cannot provide support.

The situation made sense. Then you will now receive support.

“It is difficult because there are dependents on the computer. sorry.”

“·················ogue.”

the rules are like that The person in charge cannot change it arbitrarily. In the end, what I had shouted out came out empty-handed.

No, not exactly empty-handed. The person in charge said it was a pity, and brought three lunch boxes provided to the underprivileged.

In my opinion, it’s a poor lunch box… Is this 6,000 won each?

It’s not funny.

Feeling frustrated with something, I looked at the siblings standing awkwardly and said,

“Follow.”

I bought the children clothes and food. Cheap virginity for me, but what the kids needed. I couldn’t just send and send a poor lunch box.

“brother! thank you!”

“Go, thank you.”

“·················ogue.”

When I saw the children arriving at the house with tears in their eyes and expressing their gratitude, I fell into a strange feeling.

The country is spending astronomical amounts of money to help such children. However, it is not being used properly for children in need.

I paid my taxes without a doubt, thinking that the state would spend the money correctly. But what I’m showing you now has made me question the system.

“What are the taxes I paid for?”

Why are the rules like that? And the lunch box is 6,000 won?

I’ll probably have to check it out.
