Episode 382:


    The reason I interviewed Go Ye-jin was to give some kind of guidelines.


    However, the situation went in apletely different direction than expected.


    It started in South China.


    South China, which had been working as hard to pressure the Shinsung Group as the Hong Kong-Guangdong Alliance, was a ce where no movement was seen, like a calm sea, even after Yu Hao’s visit.


    It seemed a lot more shameless than I expected, so I was curious to see how far it would go.


    And after my interview, an unexpected uproar broke out in South China.


    Internal strife broke out.


    With the emergence of a small faction demanding the resignation of the current president and all members of the standingmittee, a movement to take over Nanjing, the temporary capital, was revealed.


    A fierce conflict broke out between those who wanted to keep power from being taken away and those who wanted to take it away, resulting in a bloody incident in which hundreds of awakened people were killed or injured.


    Although it took time for the news to spread to the outside world due to strong media control, it was an event that thrilled those who watched.


    Yunhee, who heard this news as breaking news, was amazed as she watched me pondering whatbination to make soybean paste stew.


    “Now you can kill people hundreds of kilometers away with just a few words. “It’s amazing, it’s amazing.”


    “….”


    “This is what you intended, right?”


    “I was trying to settle things quietly.”


    “really?”


    “I thought that if we set guidelines for responsibility, we will be able to decide between right and wrong.”


    “They are trying to hide right from wrong. “We are killing and killing each other in the process.”


    “That’s right.”


    I thought that if I set a line of responsibility, things would go on and on and the person in charge would pop out, but I never thought it would turn out like this.


    Well, it’s not a bad thing for me.


    In situations where people kill each other, there will be victims, but wouldn’t it be a healthy society if the person whomitted the crime is held ountable?


    If that doesn’t work, it can’t be helped.


    “So what are you going to do?”


    “It will be sorted out and someone in charge wille forward.”


    “Are you really going to do that?”


    “Oh, that’s what I said.”


    I didn’t know that people would die in the process, but responsibility alwayses with blood.


    How much blood was shed is none of my business.


    “If you just look at me, it seems like you’re trying to believe in people’s good intentions.”


    “I?”


    “no?”


    “No way.”


    There is no one who doesn’t trust people as much as I do.


    It is also the belief that people are born evil.


    I think that if you believe in good intentions, you have to have a hole in the back of your head.


    “Do you really think the person responsible will appear in front of you?”


    “What are you saying.”


    “What if he makes the wrong victim and says he did it himself?”


    “First, I have to kill the person responsible. and.”


    “and?”


    “We should go find the guy who is really responsible.”


    “Then you feel sorry for the victim.”


    “Being weak is a sin. Whether you were swept away or not,ing this far means that it’s okay to die. If so, I will do as you wish.”


    Instead, I made him visit the guy who was really responsible, so I’ll have to pay for his travel expenses as well.


    “No matter what happens, it will end neatly. “Don’t worry.”


    “…I hope I make the right choice.”


    Yunhee muttered with a tired expression.


    * * *


    “It was a brilliant n to cause infighting in several countries with just a few words. “This is a development that I could not have predicted even through my simtion.”


    Yunhee and I heard about what was happening in South China through TV, but Cheon Myeong-guk had heard more information.


    He said that there is great confusion not only in South China, but also in Japan and the United States, and that other countries that were not directly involved in the operation are also being questioned as to whether their government was involved.


    “Although it is not revealed to the outside world, the United States is currently experiencing a severe conflict between the powers of the White House and Congress.”


    Arnold, who lost his leg to me, was an ambassador appointed by Congress, and the conflict was said to have been so serious that the White House was unable to stop him.


    “It’s a confrontation between the White House, which wants to push Vice President Daniel, and the ce that is united around Congressman Bradley.”


    Cheon Myeong-guk reported that the White House had been pushed back due to the contract they had given me, but that the White House was gaining the upper hand after I returned.


    It is said that as the party bes entangled and superhumans from South American countries under U.S. control join in, things are literally going wrong.


    “A ce that deserves more attention than that is Japan.”


    “Is there a problem there too?”


    “It’s a very big problem.”


    I wondered what was going on and found out that in Japan, responsibility is a very difficult situation.


    Originally, it was the former prime minister who manipted the Shinsung Group and kept the Korean government in check. The current Prime Minister is the head of a minority faction and took his position as a fisherman due to the former Prime Minister’s scandal, and I returned before hepletely took control of state affairs.


    As a result, the current Prime Minister Higa is pressuring the former Prime Minister to take responsibility, while the former Prime Minister is denying his position by saying that he is not in charge.


    “It is also a fight for power, so I think it will take time.”


    “The one who wins is on my side.”


    “Superman, who do you think is more responsible?”


    It is a problem that you do not need to worry about.


    “Both must take responsibility.”


    “….”


    “If the current Prime Minister had thought this would turn into a big problem, wouldn’t he have taken care of it? He secretly tried to dip his foot in it and got bitten. Then it’s not just one person’s responsibility, it’s everyone’s responsibility. “You have to take responsibility for everything.”


    “That’s a wise thing to say, but they will never tolerate it.”


    “Those people have a misunderstanding.”


    This is amon misconception among people who think they are strong.


    A verymon misconception among people who have power, wealth, or power.


    Thinking that you have paid the price with someone other than yourself.


    However, there are many people stronger than them in the world.


    “I am the one who decides who is responsible.”


    I believe that an unfortunate incident that prevents something that can be done with one’s arms with one’s neck will not happen.


    Looking at the dumbfounded Cheon Myeong-guk, I decided to get to the point.


    “Is this what you wanted to talk about when you called me?”


    “no. “I invited you because I wanted to ask the Adept for help.”


    “You want my help?”


    Isn’t Cheon Myeong-guk the standard for doing well on one’s own?


    “We need andslide victory in this general election. “Through that victory, I n to amend the Constitution.”


    “Constitutional amendment.”


    “There are still many things that cannot keep up with the times after the emergence of monsters. “We have established a specialmittee for constitutional amendments, but we need more seats to push forward strongly.”


    After bing president, Cheon Myeong-guk also became greedy for power.


    It might have something to do with something I did a long time ago.


    “And Director Jeong’s 8-year-long project is also rted.”


    “Yes, we are nning to change the system of reappointment in the constitutional amendment.”


    “This is the news I’ve been waiting for. But it seems the National Assembly is not cooperating.”


    I understand that the four-year reappointment system is most popr among the public.


    “They were inciting me to establish a dictatorship. “It applies to the next president, not the current one.”


    “It seems like he doesn’t have the confidence to take over power.”


    “Thanks to you, Superhuman. The opposition party’s slogan for this general election also said, “Let’s not give in to the constitutional amendment line.”


    I also nced at the opinion polls, and Chun Myeong-guk’s current approval rating is in the mid-70% range, so it is not impossible to secure a constitutional amendment if the general election is held tomorrow.


    Still, asking me for help would definitely mean driving a wedge.


    I knew that the gift of simtion was good for hunting viins and monsters, but I didn’t know that it could have such great power in politics.


    I only felt pity for the politicians who dealt with Cheon Myeong-guk.


    “I will do my best to help wherever I can.”


    “thank you.”


    The Chung Joo-ho I know would be as good a president as Cheon Myeong-guk. While leading the National Defense Bureau for a long time, he has lived a long life in public life, and as a superman belonging to the country, he is being swept away by the waves of politics.


    Moreover, Cheon Myeong-guk will perform well during the remaining period and make him the president.


    “Anyway, it’s a shame. “If it applied to incumbents, the President would have been able to serve for 8 years.”


    “…I’m so d that didn’t work out.”


    “I feel really sorry.”


    “I’m really fortunate too.”


    “….”


    I feel like something is missing from the story, but am I mistaken?


    [No, it’s not an illusion. In short, it means I don’t want to work with you for a long time?]


    Oh, I guess not.


    How much Cheon Myeong-guk likes me.


    [That’s your mistake.]


    * * *


    The civil war that broke out in South China was enough to rm the United States and Japan.


    In particr, the former Prime Minister and the current Prime Minister, who had been ming each other for responsibility, did their best to somehow shift responsibility to the other while absolutely refraining from armed conflict.


    In terms of power, the current Prime Minister naturally appears to be strong, but the power of the former Prime Minister, who is the head of the majority faction, is also formidable, leading to sharp confrontations and not an easy winner.


    So the two gathered together to negotiate.


    “In the end, someone has to take responsibility.”


    “You don’t say that you will take responsibility for something until the end.”


    “It’s because I’m not in a position to take responsibility.”


    Takeda, who is now a former prime minister and ims to be just a member of the National Assembly, shamelessly avoided responsibility.


    “….”


    Prime Minister Higa’s face turned red as he saw that, but he could not shoot any further.


    The power that each of us possesses is ours. If we postpone responsibility like this, we will only end up getting seriously hurt without being able toe to a conclusion.


    The reason we were able to rise to this level is because Takeda isrgely responsible. However, once he was in this position, he also did his best to prey on the person who was the embodiment of power.


    Since he has managed to maintain his sanity, he is trying to keep a check on new forces from forming while he is wasting his power.


    However, it is obvious that if this confrontation continues for a long time, it will escte into a war of attrition.


    We have toe to a conclusion somehow.


    Prime Minister Higa pulled out a trick for conversion.


    “Now that it’s like this, there’s only one way.”


    “Do you havepound eyes?”


    “Let’s call Junho Choi.”


    “Him?”


    Rep. Takeda was shocked.


    A smile appeared on Prime Minister Higa’s face when he decided that he had been caught off guard.


    As expected, he is extremely wary of Choi Jun-ho. That’s probably why Imitted such an unreasonable act. If it had been sessful, it would have been such a great achievement that the scandal would have been forgotten, but now it is in a position where it must take responsibility for its disastrous failure.


    Prime Minister Higa is also wary of Choi Jun-ho. But he was strongly confident that he was not to me.


    Even if you say you are responsible, it doesn’t matter. If the figures show that Takeda is more than 51% responsible, his downfall bes a foregone conclusion.


    There was strength in his voice as he continued speaking.


    “We will let him decide who is responsible.”


    “Are you out of your mind now?”


    “I am sane. “Former Prime Minister Takeda.”


    “I asked because no one could tell that I was crazy. “Get rid of that thought right now.”


    “Unfortunately, it is impossible to turn it back. “I already made a request.”


    “Go away!”


    Takeda couldn’t stand it anymore and cursed.


    The more the opponent disliked him, the brighter Prime Minister Higa’s smile became.


    “Do you think he will support the Prime Minister?”


    “It is true because it was the former prime minister who did this.”


    “But the person who inherited that work was the current Prime Minister.”


    Takeda’s intentions were also read. It meant that I would never die alone.


    “….”


    Their gazes were fiercely intertwined in the air.


    “It doesn’t matter if I turn up my tail and disappear because I’m scared of Choi Jun-ho.”


    Rep. Takeda clicked his tongue as he looked at Prime Minister Higa, who looked like he was making a life-or-death decision.


    ‘…I can’t help it.’


    He is so power-crazed that he wants more than just boldly offering up one arm.


    Representative Takeda, who was cornered by a single person, thought of anotherpromise, but shook his head.


    If you get pushed out of here, you will want it endlessly.


    Higa probably wants a picture of himself running away with his tail even if it means giving up his arm.


    You have to run towards the end in the same way as your opponent who sticks to a crazy strategy.


    The two are already sprinting towards the cliff.


    ‘Shit.’


    Takeda, with an expression that could neitherugh nor cry, cursed under his breath.
