Episode 393
The moment I heard Cheon Myeong-guk’s words, I saw Jeong Joo-ho become dizzy.
I thought I had some idea, but that was the moment when it was revealed that wasn’t the case.
[I finally realized the reality.]
That’s right.
It was exciting from my point of view.
As expected, watching Nam head to the abyss is especially fun to watch.
But since when did a suggestion to become president become a step into the abyss?
[If you don’t like yourself, that’s hell.]
He’s like that too.
I don’t want to understand it, but I learned a lesson from Yongyong.
Meanwhile, Cheon Myeong-guk persuaded Jeong Joo-ho with a calm voice.
“This country has been at a crossroads for a long time. It used to be a crossroads of destruction, but now it is a crossroads of revival. “Five years are not enough to make it certain.”
“Isn’t there someone else besides me?”
“There is no one more certain than you.”
“No, I really don’t know how this is going.”
Jung Joo-ho showed a confused expression and seemed like he wanted to avoid this situation somehow. However, there is no way Cheon Myeong-guk, who has been preparing the net for nearly five years, will let go of the perfectly caught fish.
To me, it looked like you were going to die and I was going to die.
“Don’t worry too much. “Because I believe you can do well.”
“Why don’t you just let me go without believing it?”
“There are people in front of me who can do well, so how can I leave them alone?”
“No, brother. “Really, I’ve never even been into politics.”
“I’ve never been in politics either.”
“….”
“And just because you’ve been in politics for a long time doesn’t mean you can manage state affairs well. “Our superman Jeong Joo-ho took excellent care of Busan and Pyongyang.”
“It was a situation close to wartime at the time.”
“Do you think that will make me change my mind?”
“It’s not that, it’s because my head really hurts.”
Jeong Joo-ho scratched his head, sighed, and then shook his head.
“Are you really telling me to follow suit for 5 years?”
“It’s not 5 years, it’s 8 years.”
“Are you really going to amend the Constitution just to make me do it for 8 years?”
“If a certain person takes charge of the job for 8 years, better results will come out.”
“Wow really.”
“This is all done for you and the country. “It was hard to hide it for a long time.”
“haha.”
Although it was only for a moment, Jung Joo-ho seemed to have aged by more than five years.
I’ve only ever seen people age so rapidly before, only in people who felt the extreme fear of death.
By the way, you get older when you become president.
“Don’t worry too much.”
“Are you doing that knowing that you made me worry?”
“Even if I prepare this or that for you, it doesn’t necessarily come true.”
“What does that mean again?”
“Because elections are not always 100% winning. Just because you show up doesn’t mean you will always win. “The other person might win.”
Even if I heard it, it was bullshit, but Jung Joo-ho would probably listen to it even more.
Sure enough, Jung Joo-ho’s expression was a sight to behold.
“You’re saying that after winning the general election and the constitutional amendment election?”
“According to my simulation, the chance of you losing in the presidential election is about 0.03%.”
“I’m going to lose a lot.”
The ultimate goal of any politician is the presidency, but a tense war of nerves ensued between the person who seemed to have no regrets and the person who treated the position like a burden.
“I said this in a light mood, but the situation cannot be undone. “It’s better to acknowledge and accept it.”
“….”
“I expect wise judgment.”
Jeong Joo-ho, with dead eyes, left the Blue House with unsteady steps.
I don’t think I’ll be able to do it properly like that.
“For now, I will accept reality no matter what.”
As if he sensed my thoughts, Cheon Myeong-guk added.
“I said it like it was a joke, but the position of president is not a joke. “Right now, the only person in this country I can trust is Juho.”
“There is a 0.03% chance of losing.”
“This is also a story about when another major accident occurred. “If government affairs are run smoothly like this, the probability drops to 0.001%.”
This means that there is virtually no chance of losing.
No matter how much I thought about it, I didn’t think Cheon Myung-guk would make such a mistake.
“I heard that you are planning to go to America sooner than that.”
“I had a pretty serious accident and had to reflect on myself, so I’m going to try to move forward as planned.”
“It didn’t seem like self-reflection at all, but… is going to America related to partying?”
“We need to release the tangled emotions.”
“That is correct. And there is also some kind of movement within the party. I believe that you will do well, but it is true that I am worried.”
I have no intention of attacking and killing everyone like in the previous incident. If the person responsible is responsible, there is no need to mess with someone who doesn’t matter.
“What are you worried about?”
“The balance within the United States is excellent right now.”
White House Congress and Party.
It is said that the balance between these three places is a situation where neither side can do anything about the other.
“If one axis of the party collapses, it is likely that the White House will gain power.”
“It’s good that we can communicate well.”
“….”
“Of course, the President doesn’t want that, so he told me this.”
“That’s right. “The White House also hopes that a superhuman will shake things up since they cannot wield full authority.”
“Then you can go and sweep it away then. But this is probably not the development the president wants.”
“you’re right.”
It was only for a moment, but I saw all the shocked expressions.
However, asking the party to attack the party without breaking their balance seems like too much of a spell.
“Since I said I would take responsibility, I plan to keep an eye on it.”
“What if you take responsibility properly?”
“It will end with less damage than they thought.”
What is important to me is the attitude of taking responsibility, not trying to kill someone recklessly. In that respect, I think Maxim Guedes and Phantom’s actions are okay.
“Then I am relieved.”
“Nothing unexpected will happen, so don’t worry.”
“You always exceed expectations, so I just hope that doesn’t happen this time.”
He asked me in a voice full of fatigue.
[Honestly, don’t you feel sorry for that person?]
“….”
It was pitiful.

Originally, I was planning to travel around the world based on the information I had been researching, but the reason I chose to go to the United States first was to secure new data that the party said it possessed.
As they are the first party in the world to understand the existence of the Divine Beast and establish a relationship with the Divine Beast, they will have accumulated information about the Divine Beast.
Since he was indebted to me, I thought that the greatest benefit would be to hold him accountable and secure Shinsoo’s information according to the information.
“Why are you so anxious?”
“Considering what Junho has done so far, he is so calm and calm!”
“So you came to keep an eye on me?”
“Rather than being under surveillance, it’s my return home after a long time. “My home is in America!”
“I thought he was Korean because he spoke Korean so well.”
“….”
The slim man became mute after eating honey.
There was no way he was so worried that he didn’t notice that he was following him.
“Anyway, thank you for the gift research. Thanks to you, we have made a lot of progress.”
“I still have a long way to go. But what is clear is that this gift was not created by Shinsu.”
“Are you sure about that?”
“There are limits to making things artificially.”
“That’s right.”
In that case, the story goes that Shinsoo is all about transformation.
Meanwhile, our plane arrived in the United States. As I came out, I noticed familiar faces greeting me amid tight security.
“Welcome to America, Junho.”
I looked around and said.
“It looks like you have a strong desire to show off something.”
“Haha, isn’t that what politics is all about?”
Watching the fateful rival fall is something to look forward to.
Herbert smiled awkwardly at my words.
“…We will also work with you to achieve what you want. “Don’t worry.”
“We’ll see.”
“First of all, you must be exhausted from the long flight, so rest.”
* * *
Choi Jun-ho returned and Daniel approached Herbert after he had regained his appetite.
“Didn’t you say it was a hasty approach?”
“know. But you have to check it once to be sure.”
“So what do you think?”
“I think you’re right.”
Herbert’s eyes sparkled.
“There’s no way I could have just come this far. Headbreaker’s determination is real. “I’m going to go to the party and make them take responsibility for what they did.”
“Congress will also be in chaos.”
“It means we can now take things in the direction we want.”
“But I don’t think Head Breaker will be obedient to that.”
“He is a person who is more serious about protecting his values than about the political landscape.”
“Don’t be too optimistic.”
“It’s not optimism, it’s reality. “Head Breaker is someone who has shown such behavior so far.”
Herbert said, smiling confidently.
“So get ready. “Nothing will stop you until you reach the presidency.”
“….”
Trying to pop the champagne too early.
I was worried about that, but I couldn’t stand in the way of my favorite Herbert.
Daniel nodded with a stern expression.

The people at the party appeared in front of me while I was resting at my hotel for a day.
Starting with the Phantom leading the party, Maxim Geddes wearing a lion mask, followed by people wearing a cat mask, a bear mask, a vampire mask, and a werewolf mask.
Nothing changes when you see his bare face, but he sticks to his concept fiercely.
“long time no see.”
“You’re fine.”
“Aren’t you very sad that I’m alive?”
“….”
Phantom looked at me without saying yes or no. At first it seemed complicated, but soon it changed to resignation.
“You are too strong. Enough to destroy all the balance that was so hard to achieve.”
“I know I’m strong.”
But Phantom shook his head.
“It’s not just about being strong. You wield that power without hesitation about all its implications. And people who don’t know anything about it get swept away by it.”
I snorted at something I had heard many times before.
“It’s funny that deep consideration is needed to use so much power in the first place.”
“what?”
“I just use my power. “I don’t think the great power will go where you want, so you’re just trying to stop it by making rules.”
So the more I brought up the rules, the more boldly I acted on the contrary. Because that would be behavior that goes beyond their expectations.
“…I admit all the mistakes I made. “Can’t you be satisfied with just me?”
“It’s different from what I’ve heard.”
“If you want, we will all sacrifice our necks.”
“It would have been like that normally.”
The phantom’s neck doesn’t mean much to me.
Instead, the other things they have can mean a lot to me.
“You must have heard that there is something I want.”
“heard. “I am willing to provide information about Shinsu.”
“good. “If you give it up, there is no need for your life.”
Because that’s a ‘deal’.
I don’t rip off people like the merchants do.
“I’m satisfied with just you.”
“Thank you. “I hope that those words will not change.”
After saying that, the Phantom raised his left hand and immediately struck his right arm.
Right arm cut off cleanly.
Although he paid the same price as Wei Hao, he provided information about the Divine Beast…
But the Phantom’s actions did not stop.
He clenched his teeth and immediately shook his head, causing his left arm to be cut off.
dump!
And he knelt in front of me.
“Forgive me for this.”
“….”
Well, it was more action than expected.
It’s not like I wanted it that far.
The other masks standing behind the phantom looked sad.
“Isn’t that enough? “Then let me give you my leg too.”
“No, it’s not like that.”
“Then is there anything else you want? “I’ll give you anything.”
I felt like I was deeply reflecting on the sins I had committed.
This is my first time like this.
“It’s because you gave more than I thought.”
“what?”
“I thought one arm was enough. I don’t really need two.”
I don’t want people who have paid enough to pay too much.
Still, shouldn’t you be able to eat soup?
“….”
An awkward silence fell in the hall.
