Episode 353
Rico Royce thought that desire was the driving force that moved people.
Many people move for their own reasons, and what makes it possible is the keyword called ‘desire’.
Rico Royce, who watched Junho Choi from afar without meeting him in person, knew that Junho Choi had an abnormal level of hatred toward ‘evil’ and showed an attitude of trying to trample on it without any hesitation.
As if they knew that they could trample on anything defined as ‘evil’ without any hesitation.
However, at the regulatory stage, there is something that many experts have not been able to figure out.
This is the part about what desire Choi Jun-ho satisfies by making evil disappear.
Although he simply hates evil, Choi Jun-ho’s actions are extremely fast, spontaneous, destructive, and unstoppable.
Considering what I experienced in the environment around me where I grew up, it was a series of actions that could not be interpreted in any way.
‘The mentality of wanting to become a hero by punishing evil.’
Rico Reuss defined it this way:
However, I had no choice but to make changes after seeing what I did afterwards.
It was impossible to understand his desire to become a hero.
Fairness, which can be said to be a prerequisite for a hero, did not exist in him.
‘But it’s clear that he wants to erase evil.’
I couldn’t read everything that was behind it, but I decided to focus on only the certain parts.
Then, he encouraged Choi Jun-ho to subjugate the League, stimulating the hero mentality that had sunk within him.
It wasn’t a general form, but each hero in one’s heart had a different form.
I thought I could move Choi Jun-ho with that.
But it didn’t take long to realize that it was an illusion.
“It sounds good, but in the end, you want to use me. “It would be nice if I died fighting the League.”
Choi Jun-ho, who clearly revealed his intentions, extended his hand.
“Now wait!”
He shouted urgently to stop him, but there was no hesitation in Choi Jun-ho’s hands.
Rico Royce realized that this behavior was the result of defining himself as ‘evil’.
why?
It was an incomprehensible action, but the first thing to do was to avoid the hand that held life.
puck!
“Off!”
Although he was a well-known superhuman in the party, he only had to clash with Choi Jun-ho once to realize that things were going crazy.
It was a power beyond imagination. The underlying hostility and murderousness that seemed to crush everything at any moment wormed their way through my brain and reached my marrow.
This is not human strength. There’s no way I can handle it.
“Now wait…!”
While screaming, Rico Royce tried to push Choi Jun-ho’s hand away.
The next crash broke his wrist, and the next crash broke his arm in the opposite direction. And at the last moment, as I pounded my chest, a dull shock enveloped my whole body, and my consciousness flew away.
Rico Royce couldn’t understand until the last moment he lost consciousness.
Why on earth did you do something to yourself?
He didn’t hear an answer and lost consciousness.

I tried to use my hand one last time after seeing the unconscious guy, but stopped because of the tight man who was desperately trying to stop me.
There is no repercussions for dealing with a man who is playing tricks.
Moreover, even though this guy used his mouth cunningly, he had quite a bit of skill.
If you don’t meet the owner, he will bother you by wandering around here and there.
“I think it would be better to deal with it.”
“no! He will never fight back if someone is stronger than him. “I absolutely obey even the Phantom!”
“Phantom and I are different.”
“therefore! I also learned that if he goes against Junho’s wishes, he will come after him. Then I won’t bother you any more.”
“…If it bothers you, take responsibility for it.”
“Can’t we just kill him?”
[Wow, look at the change in attitude.]
Zolaman immediately changed his attitude, but I decided not to do anything anymore.
You probably don’t want him dead either.
“Playing with words.”
“haha.”
“Ability is important, but what is important is whether it interferes with future work.”
“From that perspective, Rico Royce is someone who can beg Junho to help?”
Even if it wasn’t the brat’s words, behind his boasting was his influence at the party.
If I didn’t have skills, I wouldn’t have appeared in front of me with confidence.
That’s why I did my best.
“…I’m having trouble understanding?”
“I didn’t ask for your understanding.”
“Still, it makes it predictable. That way, no one will appear in front of Junho to kill him.”
“Then what is this guy?”
“That…”
No matter how regularly quarantine is carried out, complete eradication is impossible.
I pointed at the unconscious guy.
“If a guy like this acts with confidence, he’ll cause trouble everywhere. “You have to do something to discourage them from talking nonsense.”
“That’s all?”
“uh.”
“Then I might harbor a grudge…”
“If you hadn’t stopped me, I would have died.”
“Ah, that’s right. That’s right, if you play tricks on Junho, you’ll all die!”
Even though I said that, I sensed an insidiousness in Rico Royce that was difficult to express.
It comes from intuition and is informed by my experience.
In this case, if it was a hundred, the opponent would resort to a trick.
A guy who pretends to be an ally and hides his dark intentions is more dangerous than a guy who is overtly hostile.
“It’s okay if we leave it like this. wait for a sec.”
The slim man picked up Rico Royce, laid him down in the corner, and came towards me.
“You can’t expect the real Junho. “I’m so scared to be next to you.”
“It’s okay as long as you don’t have any other plans.”
“How do you find out? “Is it really a gift?”
“You could say so.”
“…was the sudden rush you sometimes show because of the gift? Now that I think about it, I think I’ve rarely seen Junho use his hands without reason. Then really? Wow, it’s so cool!”
This guy somehow seems to speak Korean better than Koreans.
Anyway, I think he was talking about something, but I forgot all about it.
That means it wasn’t that nutritious.
“Apart from that guy, I’m going to South America.”
“Where?”
“surname.”
“uh? surname? “Why are you there?”
Zolaman’s eyes widened as if he had not expected my answer at all.
“It’s a place that’s not mentioned at all, so I guess there’s something there.”
“Definitely, Suriname gets suspicious when they see it making noise in other places.”
“So I’m heading to Sao Paulo.”
“Was it a lie that you were going to Suriname?”
“Oh, just kidding.”
“Oh what?”
I think it’s fun, but I guess it wasn’t so good for the little guy.
It’s not easy to become a witty person.
“Because it’s not a place where there’s anything special. The league will not be free as it is where France’s eyes are. Even if you go to a place like that, you won’t get anything. “If I want to get anything, I have to go straight to where their base is.”
“Don’t confuse people. So is it true that you are going to Sao Paulo?”
“Actually, I’m thinking about going through Rio de Janeiro or Bogotá.”
The little man who was quietly watching me said something with his bewildered heart.
“…So you’re just going to go wherever you want?”
“answer. “What I want is to get a list of what kind of guys there are to kill in each city in South American countries.”
I pointed to Rico Royce lying in the corner.
“If you tell that guy, I’m sure he’ll play around with this.”
“I can’t say no. “I would probably have tremendous power on my own.”
“I’m not asking for someone to be excluded and someone to be added, but I want data that clearly outlines only those who will be killed.”
“I know what it means. “I will verify thoroughly and prepare the data.”
“Yes, I believe it.”
I can trust Zolaman, who has been working with me for a long time.
However, rather than being happy about my trust, the little man made a groaning sound.
“Then I feel like my head will break when I disappoint you.”
“I have no intention of breaking it.”
“Even if Junho said that, he would probably believe me a hundred times more.”
Anyone who sees me will think that I’m just messing around with my head because I’m bored. Still, I tried to reassure him because he might have believed that.
Still, seeing that he wasn’t calming down easily made me whet my appetite.
Things in this world aren’t easy.
* * *
Information began to gather.
Although it has been expressed in a lumpy way, South America is one huge continent.
It is now over 150 times the size of the Korean Peninsula and is a world where various cultures coexist.
The villains’ activities were different and their cultures were different, so there were frequent clashes.
Morian’s ability to put this all together is worthy of being called a king.
There was a time when I took a few villains with me who didn’t listen and ended up killing them on the spot.
This is a world where a friendly guide can turn into a robber and a taxi driver can calmly point a gun at you.
Since this is a place where villains can always appear, I personally think it is better to go alone.
“…I’m here because it’s obvious that you’re thinking that.”
Berserker sensed my thoughts and looked at me with a faint smile.
Just as I know him well, he also knows me.
“Stubborn guy.”
“Hehe, I guess it’s not just me?”
Berserker glanced to the side. Dahyun Jeong was standing there with a determined expression.
When our eyes met, he persistently followed suit and appealed to himself.
I’m in trouble.
Not only Berserker but also Jeong Da-hyun was ready to stage a sit-in protest.
I don’t know why on earth people want to go to a neighborhood with so many villains.
[Isn’t it obvious to see you go?]
Meanwhile, Yongyong, who had caught the gun, was running wild with excitement.
It’s a total mess.
I clicked my tongue and was worried about how to overcome this situation.
First of all, the two showed no signs of backing down.
That means that even if you force it apart, it will stick to you.
If so, at least one of them must be separated.
“Why on earth do you want to follow me?”
“I want to contribute to eliminating the biggest evil in the world.”
“You could contribute somewhere else.”
“I am.”
Dahyun Jeong stopped talking and shot a laser at me.
“I think I have reached a level where I can sufficiently help my brother.”
“With that skill?”
“Ugh.”
It is a place filled with the highest villains called the Three Evils of the League and the villains called the Zodiac. Jeong Da-hyeon, who had just become a superhuman, was more likely to be a burden than a help.
“So, back off this time…”
“But please give me one chance.”
“opportunity?”
“Yes, a chance to prove my skills. If I can’t convince you of that, I will admit it and step down. Seriously. So please give me a chance.”
Jeong Da-hyun, who had said so much, waited for my disposition.
Even if you just tell them to step away, they probably won’t accept it.
Your stubbornness is not this ordinary stubbornness.
How to do it?
Now that the situation was like this, if I left alone, they would really follow me.
It would be better to have one piece of luggage than two.
I looked at Berserker and Dahyun Jeong in turn and said.
“You two have a fight.”
“what?”
“yes?”
Two people who are shocked. I want to go alone, but if I do that, they will follow me to the ends of the earth, so I have to go with a structure where I can only choose one person.
The result was a confrontation between the two.
Berserker’s skills were overwhelmingly superior, and the result may have been obvious, but the world was inherently unfair.
Moreover, if Jeong Da-hyun is serious, he will try to win against Berserker, so he will be able to make a lot of progress in this sparring.
It’s a reasonable decision.
[I’m even more surprised that I came up with it now.]
Yongyong didn’t seem to like my method very much.
Just like my outlook, their expressions were sharply divided.
The joy on Berserker’s face was replaced by despair on Jeong Da-hyun’s face.
Because, objectively speaking, Berserker had an overwhelming advantage.
Actually, I think Berserker will win.
“I accept it.”
“…I think this is the only one. “I will do it.”
So the two faced each other.
While Berserker was full of leisure, Jeong Da-hyun was solemn.
Berserker offered words of comfort at the sight of his determination.
“I wonder how much your skills have improved over the years. Let’s take a look.”
“….”
Jeong Da-hyun sighed and lowered her head.
Berserker saw that and approached with a worried expression.
“Hey, are you okay?”
It was then.
Jeong Da-hyun’s hand, which had been in despair just a moment ago, stretched out like lightning.
It seemed like a surprise attack that could never be prevented, but Berserker responded late and withstood the attack.
“You now…!”
Berserker’s expression distorted as if he had been betrayed by Jeong Da-hyun’s surprise attack, which was like a symbol of fairness.
Jeong Da-hyun, who even saved the strength to react, attacked Berserker.
However, there was a difference in skill between the two, and Berserker, who was repeatedly pushed back, held on and even launched a sharp counterattack.
At the same time, the two swords were drawn out and clashed in the air.
Whoops!
A strong sound rang out.
Berserker’s eyes blazed after seeing a painful surprise attack.
“If you do that, I won’t tolerate it either.”
As Berserker applied his strength, Jeong Da-hyun began to be pushed back.
It was when I thought the confrontation would end like this.
“Tsk!”
The needle that shot out from Dahyun Jeong’s mouth hit Berserker’s eye in the form of a sharp needle.
“Aaaah!”
