Episode 356
A week has passed since then.
Meanwhile, São Paulo turned into hell. However, that was only the impression of those who roamed the lawless area, not the general public.
The villain has disappeared from the streets.
Those who usually believed in their petty power and swaggered to intimidate citizens disappeared from the streets.
I hoped to refrain from going out as much as possible and not run into Choi Jun-ho, but that was a personal wish.
All villain bases located in Sao Paulo collapsed one by one.
In order to survive regardless of the remaining Morian forces or the League forces, they made a desperate escape out of Sao Paulo.
Choi Jun-ho didn’t care about the villain escaping out of the city. Instead, only the villains located in Sao Paulo were completely destroyed.
In the process, U.S. government agents somehow tried to contact Choi Jun-ho.
But all failed.
It was so haunting that the more they tried to find it, the further away it became.
“Tsk tsk tsk tsk!”
Berserker, who was watching this entire process, laughed happily.
All he did was relax leisurely in a safe house located in Sao Paulo, receive information from Choi Jun-ho, and add a word.
The attitude was so obnoxious that the listener automatically clenched his fists.
“Wouldn’t it be better to stop the chase at this point?”
The villains in Sao Paulo had already been wiped out. There are still a few left, but they won’t last long.
“It will be over soon.”
Rather than wasting energy chasing Choi Jun-ho at that time, it seemed better to prepare to greet him properly.
“This is a matter of pride.”
Mario Datrich, head of the intelligence department dispatched by the U.S. government, refused with a firm voice.
It’s a foolish choice. Berserker clicked his tongue.
“Was that pride more important than life?”
“There isn’t much time left and we will be touching down soon.”
“well.”
Choi Jun-ho, who obtained the gift that allows him to freely cross the ocean, can avoid anyone’s pursuit if he wants to.
How can you catch them when they freely cross the sea?
“So you’re saying it’s someone else’s business?”
There were two types of forces in this safe house.
One is people dispatched by the U.S. government. The other are people who belong to some kind of association called a ‘party’.
Originally, it seemed that the leadership belonged to the people in the party, but as Choi Jun-ho went around killing villains, the internal power structure was strangely distorted.
“Who is in charge over there?”
Mario Datrich, who was busy planning the strategy, responded.
“Do you have anything to say?”
“Oh, it’s nothing grand. “It seems like it’s slowly coming to an end, so I thought it would be good to at least give some advice.”
“I will bring David.”
After a while, Mario brought in a man with a rough beard like a bandit.
“Ohh.”
It was quite an incredible momentum. In terms of level, it is safe to say that he has reached superhuman level.
I once again felt that the power of the party was quite amazing.
David, feeling Berserker’s searching gaze, asked in a harsh voice.
“Do you have anything to say to me?”
“Choi Jun-ho will be back soon. “Wipe out all the villains.”
“…Headbreaker also eliminated local forces that could cooperate with us.”
“That’s your situation.”
“Are you starting a fight now?”
“I’m more worried about your life than that. Wouldn’t it be unfair to die without knowing why? “Tsk!”
“….”
David’s expression crumpled as a laugh escaped his lips. However, it is related to no one else but the world’s greatest villain, no, the superhuman Head Breaker.
This time, as he set out to eliminate the villain, I experienced how great his power was, so I couldn’t just pass it by.
“So what advice do you have?”
“Be prepared with an excuse.”
“What excuse?”
“Didn’t you attract villains to take over the league?”
No matter how well a villain is presented, in the end, he is still just a villain. Even if you package your trash well, it is inevitable that the smell of trash will spread.
I thought it was packaged well so that it didn’t smell like garbage because it once ruled South America, but now that I look at it, that wasn’t the case.
“For a villain, it doesn’t matter whether he’s in the league or not.”
“So why…”
“You’re going to have to explain to him that you need to seek justice.”
Berserker’s words were accurate.
Two days later, Choi Jun-ho, who destroyed all the villain organizations in Sao Paulo, appeared at the safe house.
* * *
The first thing I saw was Berserker’s face.
He must have been eating well and staying well all this time, so he is shiny and greasy. I had the urge to clean off that grease and let it roll around in the dirt, but since there were a lot of people watching, I decided to take a look.
“You managed to arrive safely without being shot down?”
“It was a plane equipped with special materials you provided. “It was just boring to wait, but I came comfortably.”
“Oh right.”
[Did you pull out my claws so mercilessly and then forget about it?]
Listening to Yongyong’s ragged voice, I could feel his sarcasm being offended.
Is it important for me to remember it? It’s okay if other people use it well.
[Kyaaagh!]
I pretended not to hear it and looked at the guys standing awkwardly behind Berserker. When I was robbing a villain organization, I saw the faces I was chasing so hard.
“This is Mario Datrich. Sent by the U.S. government. It’s an honor to meet you, Headbreaker.”
“Chasing me was pointless.”
“But they were local people who could help.”
“So you’re on the same team?”
“…That’s not it. However, they were people who could help in many ways in the operation.”
“I’m the one to judge that. “Then this must be the person from the party.”
I fixed my eyes on a large man with a beard.
“You tried to make me operate with the villains.”
“Juliu has been a very valuable partner.”
Rather, he speaks to me as if he is shooting at me.
I’m used to this. This was a case where the perpetrator actually raised his voice.
“The guy who shot me in the temple?”
“What?”
“I guess I thought I could kill him if I punctured his temple. “My leather is too tough to make a hole with a bullet.”
[The kids who made it into graduate students worked like slaves, so there was no damage.]
“He was already planning to betray and go to the league. “I guess they thought I would be treated well if I held my head up.”
“Nonsense!”
David was shocked and his body trembled.
Even so, the facts do not change.
“It makes sense. “Because I saw it.”
“….”
The hall was filled with shock, anger and disbelief.
However, the picture was perfect because the information was obtained through brainwashing and defeating other villains.
In fact, questions existed even before I came here.
Morian, a member of the party and called ‘King’ in South America.
He rallied the awakened people of South America and checked the entry of the League’s forces. But basically, South American countries were places that could not control the awakened people. In that case, it would be said that they are closer to villains than outlaws.
In fact, several times, those led by Morian were referred to as villains.
Join hands with a smaller villain to catch a bigger villain. This is something that my common sense does not allow.
“Now it’s time for you to prove it.”
“What on earth do you want me to prove?”
“That you are not villains.”
“…!”
The members of the party, including David, were contorted in shock and fear.
In the end, David and other party members were trapped in a separate building. They couldn’t give a proper answer to the question I asked about the villain and its connection.
Then he’s a villain.
The day I was about to use my hand, it was Mario who stopped me.
To make David and other party members believe that they were not related to the villain, he offered to disarm himself and lock them in a separate building until the operation was over.
Is there really a need to go through that hassle? A villain was someone who could betray at any time if the move was wrong.
Berserker was the one who dispelled my doubts.
“I think we can just compromise on locking him up.”
“why?”
“If we turn those guys into enemies, the number of guys we have to deal with will increase. “Since when have we been here to deal with minnows like that?”
“….”
David trembled at the word minnow.
I didn’t care and asked Berserker.
“Have you looked into it?”
“I tried to wait a few days, but nothing happened. “If I had other intentions, I would have acted a trick.”
“….”
While shock spread throughout the hall at Berserker’s words, I heard that nothing special had happened and agreed to being locked in a separate building.
I think it would be better to use your hands to be sure.
Anyway, when it came to that conclusion, David and the party members disarmed without resisting. After that, Mario stepped forward and took back all operational authority.
They unified the command system and quickly took control of the command center.
As a result, no trace of the party remained within the safe house.
You’re resourceful.
Perhaps Mario was also hoping for this development.
It hasn’t been a day or two since the relationship between the U.S. government and the party has gone bad.
“Currently the league is focusing its main efforts on Argentina. “Julian Araujo, a member of the zodiac, is here, and the whole of Argentina is supporting the league.”
The league’s main forces are currently scattered throughout South America, with the core of them said to be concentrated in the Andes Mountains.
“Are you hiding?”
“You could look at it that way. But I suspect that’s not all.”
He wouldn’t have gone to that much trouble simply to avoid my eyes.
Regardless of my risk, they will have their own pride. And even if it is to show dignity to those who follow you, you cannot make such a choice.
There is another inside story.
“The essence of divine beast.”
“How do you do that?”
Mario heard me muttering and started to look shocked. As expected, the prediction was correct.
“Is there a divine essence in the Andes Mountains?”
“That’s right. “We are currently looking for traces of the divine beast there, and it is said that if you obtain it, you will gain power that is incomparable to anything you have experienced before.”
However, the process of finding it is taking a long time, and the U.S. government is planning to join forces with the party to eliminate the League forces during that time.
It’s possible to track the essence of a divine beast, but it’s difficult to determine its exact location? I found out some good information.
[If I knew the detailed location, something big would have happened. thank god. With this, it’s not too late.]
I asked Yongyong if he felt anything, and he said no.
It felt like it was less useful than a human being, as far as the essence of a divine beast was concerned.
[Why does it make sense like that! I can also detect traces, right? But since the essence is similar to the energy of Mother Nature, it takes a long time. I am being considerate of you, so I only tell you through appropriate filters.]
I don’t know what to do with the consideration of the high god, Nari.
[Wow, you’re really sarcastic? Why don’t you show off your skills properly?]
I hope you can show off those skills.
But not now.
[uh? why? Are you afraid that I’m going to show you my skills? Hehe, I’m glad I know that now.]
Okay, okay, let’s leave it at that.
I left the guys who were searching the Andes Mountains like crazy and focused on other areas.
“So who is Argentina’s collaborator?”
“As a member of the zodiac, he is said to be a large landowner and tycoon in Argentina and the leader of the awakened people. He has been at odds with Morian for a long time and has protected Argentina from Morian’s hands.”
Although Julio Araujo did not take on politics with that power, he was virtually the same figure as the ruler of Argentina.
If the 12 signs of the league are people under the league, Julio Araujo is said to be in a position close to an equal partner.
Even now, he is continuing his activities in his own field rather than accompanying the league’s events.
“Kill this guy.”
“yes?”
“You’re walking around outside asking for me to kill you.”
It looks like they’re trying to start a speed battle with the Andes Mountains, but it’s okay to just go back and deal with it for a moment.
I told Mario my specialty that was not yet known to him.
“What I’m best at is assassination.”
