Chapter 371
Episode 371
: Arnold ultimately had no choice but to accept James Reed’s proposal.
Although he claims to be receiving subtle support from hardliners and parties, Macho Man was an American hero and a powerful man who eliminated members of the Zodiac during the League subjugation operation.
I didn’t like the idea of having to release something that had been completely roasted and boiled to some extent, but giving a concession once meant that I could ask for concessions in the future, so I decided to be satisfied with this level.
And when I submitted a request for a meeting to the Blue House, I received an unexpected response.
President Cheon Myung-guk requested a private meeting. No, it was a secret proposal to gather only three people, including the President, Arnold, and James Reed.
“As expected, he is a president who is good at calculating.”
“….”
Although it is not known to the outside world, it is understood in the United States that Cheon Myeong-guk is the owner of a simulation gift classified as ‘special’.
This gift, which allows endless Try&Again, is one of the more difficult gifts than the prophecy, and it was recognized that if the Republic of Korea became stronger like this, combined with Cheon Myeong-guk’s ability, it would not be able to handle it.
The reason we are taking such a hard line now is to break our spirits once again.
“Why are you doing that?”
“I just felt uncomfortable.”
“Is there anything complicated to think about? It is the president’s side that is currently in crisis. There is no headbreaker and Berserker’s control is unclear. It is clear that they are trying to negotiate good terms before the truth is revealed. “I would rather praise you.”
“Is that all?”
“Is there anything else?”
“The Korean president I have seen never resigns easily. “There is a possibility that there are other numbers hiding.”
“It is good to be wary of your opponents, but it is not good to rate them too highly. “There are probably two reasons why I requested a meeting in secret.”
Arnold held up two fingers in triumph.
“One is to acknowledge our current inferiority and hope for mercy.”
Even though he became president as a non-politician, Cheon Myeong-guk’s abilities are considered unrivaled.
Cheon Myeong-guk was so good at politics that thanks to his ability to run state affairs, whether the ruling party would cross the constitutional amendment line in the next general election was becoming a hot topic every day.
Of course, if they give in to themselves, their approval ratings will plummet, so they will need to adjust their pace.
The second intention is an extension of the first.
“It’s a deal to win the election.”
From the perspective of Chun Myeong-guk, whose support base consists entirely of the former president and Choi Jun-ho, it would be true that he would like to include a large number of people who follow him in this general election.
James Reid had other ideas, but Arnold’s confidence was so strong that he decided not to tackle him any further.
“I’ll just watch quietly.”
“I will personally negotiate.”
On the contrary, I think this is the one that looks down on it too much.
I didn’t like it very much, but I accepted it because there was no other alternative.
* * *
When James Reed and Arnold visited the Blue House, the atmosphere was heavy and subdued.
Arnold’s mood became even stronger as he understood the sadness of accepting it as an unavoidable reality.
“Welcome, it’s been a while, Macho Man.”
“Thank you for having me.”
“no. “I think a macho man who has been in Korea for a long time could make this situation smoother.”
Have I really given up?
James Reed’s confusion at Cheon Myeong-guk’s attitude grew even greater.
The thought that the head breaker may have played such a large role crossed my mind.
Without him, both tamed monsters and Berserkers would be as if their reins were loose.
But with only one year left and rumors spreading that Head Breaker may be dead, is it right to give up?
‘I don’t know.’
The variable named Choi Jun-ho is so beyond imagination that it feels like my brain has slowed down.
The more I thought about it, the more complicated my mind felt, and I focused on the conversation between Cheon Myeong-guk and Arnold.
“The reason I invited you today is to continue our conversation from last time.”
“Of course I understand the situation in your country. The president’s situation as well. We are ready to understand and be considerate of these circumstances.”
“You must be mistaken.”
“hmm?”
Looking at Cheon Myeong-guk’s overly relaxed attitude, Arnold felt puzzled and James Reed felt uneasy.
“I invited you because I want you to stop making strong comments externally.”
“Why?”
“This is because the ambassador’s remarks are worsening the relationship between Korea and the United States.”
“Mr. President, you know very well that that is not what I meant.”
“Ambassador Arnold.”
Cheon Myeong-guk stopped talking and looked at Arnold intently.
Until now, Arnold had been the one to launch a one-sided attack, but Cheon Myeong-guk was an awakened person who had reached level 7. He was also a talented person with a gift.
“Tsk…”
Arnold, overwhelmed by the staring eyes, let out a groan.
“The home country has no intention of following the ambassador’s wishes.”
“…Are you sure you want to go to the end?”
“It is the ambassador who is trying to overturn a fixed-term contract. You are the one who made the reckless request. So what you are saying now is not right.”
When the pressure on his entire body disappeared, Arnold took a deep breath and spoke.
“Situations can change at any time. Do you think the situation in your country is the same now as it was a year ago?”
“I don’t think anything has changed.”
“You are denying reality.”
Headbreaker is dead.
Arnold wanted to shout that, but he didn’t dare to cross the line.
Cheon Myeong-guk in front of him must have sensed what he wanted to say.
A confident smile appeared on his lips.
“at all. There will be no one in this world as realistic as me. That will remain the same now and in the future.”
“If you don’t accept reality, you will find out…”
Arnold, who was speaking threateningly, noticed a man approaching behind Cheon Myeong-guk.
At first, I thought it was a young staff member. It’s enough to make you snort that they didn’t just pick it based on their face. Seeing that I couldn’t tell the place, I started to think that the situation at the Blue House was a mess.
However, for a moment, I felt James Reed next to me freeze. And Arnold, who felt that that face was familiar, realized that he was not a person who should be here or appear.
“Uh huh? No way…”
“You were speaking well just a moment ago, but why are you speechless?”
An arrogant way of speaking that does not give the slightest sense of respect for the other person. Arnold’s confusion reached its peak as he was put down mercilessly.
“Head breaker?”
Headbreaker Choi Jun-ho grinned and stretched out his hand to squeeze Arnold’s neck.
“Let’s hear what he believed and what he said.”
* * *
When I asked Cheon Myeong-guk for a list of people to kill, I also learned of the unreasonable demands being made in the United States.
So I seriously thought about getting rid of all those who changed their minds.
So Cheon Myeong-guk was shocked.
He desperately explained that this was not the opinion of the entire United States and explained the current conflict between the President and Congress in the United States.
The guy who thought I was dead and was talking a lot is also a guy who is close to the National Assembly and the opposition party.
“I get very disappointed when people disagree. “You keep wanting to twist your neck.”
It is true that if I disappear, the previous benefits that Korea enjoyed will disappear. However, I thought I would stick to the period, but it turned out that there were more people who were more urgent than I thought.
A weak and weak country will have to endure this miserable situation.
But that was only when I wasn’t around.
I sat down next to Cheon Myeong-guk and looked at the flashy-looking guy.
“Keep talking. “I’m trying to listen, but why aren’t you talking?”
The guy who was struggling opened his mouth with difficulty.
“…First of all, congratulations on your safe return. “Thanks to your dedication, the world is free from the threat of the League.”
[I’m not at a loss for words?]
The way he immediately changed the topic and praised my achievements made me wonder if he was the same guy who used my death as an excuse to push Cheon Myeong-guk.
“Now that the wall called the League that separates the world has disappeared, a more equal treaty is needed. “I and others in the political world have come to think that the wrongs must be corrected.”
“So you took advantage of the moment I thought I was dead?”
“….”
Even if the words are flashy, the content is simple once you understand the underlying meaning.
“What if I come back alive?”
“Jun Ho! “Hold on…”
The moment the slim man shouted, he had already tightened the hand holding Arnold’s neck.
“Keck!”
The guy’s eyes were wide with fear, and without hesitation, I broke his limbs.
Quad deuk!
“Kwaaaak!”
He didn’t stop there, he threw the struggling guy on the floor and trampled on him with his feet. The terrifying pain of crushing bones must have engulfed my entire body.
If it ends like this, it will be difficult.
First of all, I hate people who break their promises. Aside from the fact that I benefited from it, I would have done it if it had been like this when it was renewed after the period ended.
But he thought I was dead and showed his true colors. If you tried to trample on a weak opponent with the logic of power, you would have to accept it even if you were in the same situation.
I hit the guy who was foaming at the mouth and rolling his eyes. When the pain exceeds the threshold, you no longer feel the pain, but pushing yourself to that state is a waste of money.
“Off.”
Even the guy who was pressuring the powerful of a country just a moment ago ends up crawling like a bug in the face of violence.
It was time to trample it again.
bang!
The slim man blocked my foot and separated me from Arnold.
“stop! “Stop it!”
“Do you want to die too?”
“no! It’s true that he did it wrong! So listen to me!”
“why me?”
“Because this guy’s thoughts are not everyone’s thoughts! “I’m sure Junho heard it too!”
“That doesn’t make the mistakes he committed go away.”
Of course, I have no intention of dealing with that guy and turning America upside down.
The president desperately tried to dissuade me.
However, when I go to the United States, if I find the people who instigated that guy, I plan to take action.
That guy also gave me a bad leg in return for making fun of his mouth.
Even if you can’t walk, you can still be diplomatic, right?
Instead, I was disappointed that it ended like this.
“You stay here again.”
“what?”
“Why did you return to the United States without finishing your research last time? “Did you think I was dead too?”
“Oh no! “I had a lot of things to take care of back home, so I stopped before I knew it…”
“Then you’ll come, right?”
“….”
“You don’t like it?”
Quad deuk!
“Kwaaaak!”
As he gave strength to the foot he had trampled, a desperate scream came out of Arnold’s mouth.
“I’m going!”
“Good decision.”
I removed the foot I was stepping on and kicked it in front of me.
Watching Arnold wriggle like a bug makes you realize that in the end, everything in the world is nothing without your own capabilities, even if you rely on the power of others.
“But wasn’t most of the research done last time finished?”
“I have something new to do.”
“What?”
“We’ll talk about that later.”
When Zolaman and his friends join, I plan to share what I learned while capturing the Hell Master.
Humans and divine beasts, divine beasts and power. Powers and Gifts.
I found a clue to this.
The rest will take care of itself if we gather some smart guys and have them research it.
“how long will it take?”
“It won’t take long.”
About 5 years?
The pimp’s expression softened at my answer.
Well, everyone’s thinking time is different.
