The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity

Episode 145

Contrary to my concerns, Berserker’s story wasn’t that long.

To sum it up in one line, it was the scream of a man struggling under pressure.

Berserker, who was regarded as an outstanding talent since childhood, lived a sweet married life with his beloved wife.

However, a problem arose as outstanding talent attracted people’s attention. As unwanted encouragement from those around me increased, I began to be affected little by little.

The person who was most influenced by it was Berserker’s father-in-law. He wanted to expand his business by leveraging his son-in-law’s talent, and Berserker and his wife tried to stop him, but they were steadfast.

Berserker, who was already feeling a lot of pressure, could not bear the world around him collapsing because of him. So I chose to leave everything and run away.

Freeing yourself from what was binding you meant becoming a villain.

“Only after I escaped the attention of those around me was I able to become free. Then, I was able to break free from the framework that had bound me until then and open up my talents.”

“Is that so?”

“That’s it.”

That’s the end of Berserker’s story.

I saw the silent guy and asked.

“So you’re asking for sympathy from me with what you’re saying?”

“No way.”

Berserker said I’m not the type of person to do that and I don’t expect that kind of response.

He just wanted to confide in himself.

By the way, you said this without expecting anything?

You make me a cold-blooded person without blood or tears.

“I just wanted to talk to someone.”

“Good talk.”

Berserker didn’t expect me to sympathize, but this time I sympathized.

In my last life, I also struggled to gain strength, and because I ran only for strength, I ended up with a hematoma.

He went crazy because he couldn’t handle the pressure. By nature, when people are buried somewhere, they tend to run wild without knowing the appropriate line.

I felt a sense of kinship knowing that there was such a past. However, we must also think about the family members who suffered from neglect as a result.

“But what’s wrong with the family?”

“It was okay to watch from afar sometimes.”

This is exactly the same as me, right?

What are you talking about? That’s a stupid thing to say.

Even so, all that remains is regret.

Moreover, hasn’t the shackles of being a villain been taken off now? This means that I am in a different situation than when I had a hematoma and had no control over my body.

My voice grew louder as I watched myself repeat the mistakes I had made in the past.

“Is everything okay when you see it from a distance? “My husband and father suddenly disappeared. I wonder if he will be okay.”

“….”

“Tsk! “He seems like a sloppy guy.”

Only Hu Dae was fine, but he was the same as me in that he couldn’t take care of his own family.

I can do well because I have one more chance, but I am not a Berserker.

In order to treat him well, I need to correct him.

“Now that I’ve finished telling my story, I want to hear yours. “Why did you go out of your way to bring me here?”

This guy says he wanted to talk and is trying to get me to talk about it.

But when I thought about it, they just brought me here without saying anything.

“To put it simply, I want to use it for defense around the Republic of Korea?”

“What do you mean?”

“I looked around and there were a lot of people to kill here and there.”

The world is wide and there are many people to kill.

It wasn’t limited to Korea.

Well, it feels like the scale has gotten bigger than when it was a hematoma.

“Then you may have to leave the position for quite some time, and if you are classified as a villain, you won’t be able to use it properly.”

Although I criticize Berserker, I think his skills are quite useful.

If you grow it hard and don’t use it, it won’t be possible. A Berserker would be able to face not only the League of Zodiacs but also those classified as teenage superhumans.

In my view, that’s not enough, so he needs to grow a little more, but it will take time.

Berserker’s expression became relaxed.

When I asked him why he did that, he said it was okay as long as it didn’t bother him.

“All you have to do is stay where you are.”

“It’s because I trust you. know?”

“Do you beat someone you trust like this?”

“Take it as an expression of affection.”

“I refuse to show such affection.”

For some reason, it looks like you’re getting better at grinding your teeth.

“Anyway, now that the annoying things are sorted out, let’s go.”

“Where?”

“Where is your family?”

“….”

Berserker froze stiffly.

* * *

Berserker’s wife, Kim Hee-yeon, currently serves as the CEO of Sangwoo Precision.

Sangwoo Precision was a small but powerful company with a long history that had developed its technological capabilities for decades.

But things changed significantly ten years ago.

When his father-in-law, who was trying to grow his business by selling the Berserker name, died, the family’s fortunes rapidly declined.

As a result, it had to continue to face tough competition, but recently, as Shinsung Group announced new technologies one after another, investment in new technologies became difficult and the company’s situation began to decline rapidly.

It’s just on the verge of collapse.

“Are you okay with just a quick look?”

“….”

Berserker closed his mouth after looking at Sangwoo Precision’s financial statements. If I hadn’t brought him in, he wouldn’t have lasted even half a year and would have collapsed.

So what happened to the remaining people?

Just thinking about it must have made me dizzy.

Of course, I also had a tendency to be inattentive.

Even though I knew there would be bad results like this, I didn’t move quickly. Since I started investigating with the intention of bringing Berserker, the timing was almost too late.

After arriving at Sangwoo Precision, located in the Siheung Industrial Complex in Gyeonggi-do, I almost dragged the hesitant Berserker with me and requested a meeting with CEO Kim Hee-yeon.

Kim Hee-yeon, who had just entered her 40s, was a woman with an intelligent and calm image. If placed side by side with Berserker, they would look like a professor and his wife.

When I presented the business card of an affiliate company prepared by Shinsung Group and discussed investment, the interview was quickly concluded.

Kim Hee-yeon, who was sitting in the representative’s seat looking very tired, got up to greet the guests but stopped when she saw Berserker next to me.

“Choi Jun-ho is a superhuman? And… brother?”

“Hello, sister-in-law. “This is Choi Jun-ho, who is close to Gwangjin’s brother.”

“….”

[Hey, smile. Who wants to look surprised? Do you want to die?]

After warning the astonished Berserker, he spoke to Kim Hee-yeon.

In this role, I have to act as Berserker’s close younger brother.

“Brother Gwangjin missed his family but couldn’t bring himself to visit them, so I forced him to come with me. “I’m sorry if I’m being rude.”

“Oh no. It’s crazy. Thank you for bringing my brother. “In fact, my brother’s honor was restored thanks to Choi Jun-ho’s strength.”

“Thank you for your understanding.”

“And…”

Kim Hee-yeon strode towards Berserker. Berserker stood tall as if the soles of his feet were on the ground.

Why did you say it was okay if you said you wouldn’t be confident? I also remember the time I returned to the past and met my parents. I was treated like a crazy person when I tried to eat the soybean paste stew I missed with my hands.

“huh?”

It was then.

The fist stretched out like an awl and stuck in Berserker’s solar plexus.

puck!

“Tsk…”

It was a fist that was perfect in terms of strength, speed, and accuracy. Even Berserker, who had transcended human limitations, was breathless, even if only for a moment.

“This is my punishment for leaving without saying anything. and.”

Kim Hee-yeon hugged Berserker. It seemed that Kim Hee-yeon was embraced due to the height difference.

It is a heartwarming family reunion.

“Thank you for coming.”

“…sorry.”

“No, I know it’s all because of my father, but what? Kim Young-Hwan I didn’t know that person encouraged my father. But wrong is wrong. “I’m sorry for putting such a burden on you.”

I watched as the sediment that had accumulated over a dozen years was melting in real time.

It’s a wonderful sight.

I wish my parents had welcomed me like that. But even though I thought about it, it seemed like eating the soybean paste stew with my hands was unreasonable.

However, you can’t go back again. I quite like my life now.

“Oh, I’m sorry. “A guest came, but I couldn’t treat him to anything.”

“it’s okay.”

“Still.”

We had a conversation while drinking a cup of coffee while sitting in the chair where Kim Hee-yeon was appointed.

It’s good to share your family’s stories, but you need to tackle the annoying things first. I spoke directly.

“We have confirmed that the current company situation is difficult.”

“That’s… yes.”

Kim Hee-yeon also briefly agreed, perhaps because she thought it was an unavoidable truth.

“I will invest.”

“yes? Choi Jun-ho’s superhuman investment?”

“To be exact, it is an investment that combines my money and the Sacred Guild’s money.”

“Why did you give that to us….”

“After receiving Shinsung Group’s report and examining it, we decided that Sangwoo Precision’s technological capabilities could create synergy when capital and facilities are added. “What do you think, sister-in-law?”

“Of course I am grateful. But…”

Kim Hee-yeon answered with an expression of emotion, and then her face darkened.

Is it because of debt?

Berserker also showed a puzzled expression as if he couldn’t understand.

It was then. There was a commotion outside.

“Now wait a minute! Now the CEO is treating the customer…”

“Then isn’t it better? If Zhenzhu comes, we should see it too. uh?”

bang!

These guys force their way in even though there are voices trying to stop them.

Just looking at it, Gwansang was a loan shark. They say they got a loan from some financial institution, so it looks like they came from there.

The quality looks bad. It seems that Kim Hee-yeon has suffered quite a bit.

“….”

The guys who came inside stopped when they saw me and Berserker. Then, when he saw Kim Hee-yeon, he tilted his head again and started to turn white.

I think he recognized me and Berserker.

“Could it be Choi Jun-ho? Berserker?”

“I do recognize it.”

“Hi!”

The faces of the loan sharks turned white.

Should I say that I walked into the grave on my own?

Still, things got easier. Because it is better to obtain information this way than to obtain information by going directly to them and killing them all.

“Sit down. Let’s talk.”

Of course, it was a one-sided conversation where I asked what I was curious about.

* * *

While receiving information, Berserker’s expression changed every moment.

That was the moment when I realized how wrong it was to just watch from afar.

But Kim Hee-yeon was similar. He expressed his feelings of regret, saying that he should have done well, but it only ended up this way.

Well, in my opinion, the reason Sangwoo Precision has been able to survive so far without going bankrupt is entirely due to Kim Hee-yeon’s ability. Shinsung Group also evaluated it highly.

After requesting information about Korea-Japan finance from Shinsung Group, I visited there with Berserker.

Since we had announced that we would visit in person, it was not difficult to enter the representative office.

“This is Lee Geum-seok from Hanil Finance. “It is an honor to meet Choi Choi Choin and Berserker.”

Lee Geum-seok’s face was covered in sweat as he ran out a month later.

Anyone who sees me will think I came to kill you. I came here just to get the information I needed.

Oh, of course, if you fail, I will kill you all.

Just looking at it, I could smell a bad smell.

“sit down. “We need to sit down so we can have a conversation.”

“Yes yes!”

When I saw Berserker and I sit down, he seemed like a guest.

“You lent money to Sangwoo Precision?”

“Yes yes! “Sangwoo Precision has sunk a lot now, but it is a company with experience and technology, so I have been keeping an eye on it ever since management became difficult.”

Without asking, the story of how he lent the money came out from Lee Geum-seok’s lips.

“You made the recommendation solely based on the company’s value?”

“That… ugh!”

Flash!

Berserker’s patience was short. The moment the light flashed, Lee Geum-seok’s left arm was cut off.

I stepped on the stomach of the guy who was screaming and rolling on the floor and poured the potion on the cut area.

Chi profit.

“Let’s talk honestly without hesitation. “I’ll put the cut pieces back together right away.”

“Keuuuuuuu!”

“Are you calm?”

“Yes yes.”

“Then shall we continue the conversation? “The longer you reply, the more difficult it will be to post properly.”

That’s what he said, but the person he mainly talked about was Berserker. I watched and came out every time he had a seizure and parts of Lee Geum-seok’s body flew off one by one.

“In the end, you guys came forward, swallowed up Sangwoo Precision, and tried to sell it off?”

“Keuheuheu! Yes that’s right.”

The inside story that was revealed was this. As Sangwoo Precision faltered, Hanil Financial planned to acquire it at a low price, dismantle the company, and sell its technology and assets.

The plan was plausible because it was a solid company as long as it secured business partners.

If only Sangwoo Precision wasn’t a company related to Berserker.

There was one more fact hidden here.

Information has just arrived from Shinsung Group.

“Ah, this place is connected to Chinese capital.”

Berserker’s head turned to Lee Geum-seok.

“Why didn’t you tell me that?”

“Now wait a minute! “Aaaah!”

Lee Geum-seok barked so loudly that he kicked and tore off his mouth. Teeth were pouring out of my mouth.

Even at a glance, I could see his intention.

“There must have been a more insidious intention. “It will be the worst you can imagine.”

“Can I kill them all?”

“Wasn’t that what you intended from the beginning?”

“Are you going to be okay?”

“uh.”

Berserker nodded at my words and, without hesitation, blew off Lee Geum-seok’s head. Then he took the knife and went outside.

I kicked out the window and blocked the entrance to the building. Sure enough, the ones running away tried to come out, so I killed them right away.

Soon, screams erupted from inside the building. I twisted the neck of the guy who ran away through the entrance.

The sound quieted down completely after a while.

After a while, Berserker, his whole body covered in blood, came out to the entrance.

“You did something.”

“It’s something to do with family, so it could be possible.”

“I don’t want to hurt you with this. “If I have to be treated like a villain again, I’ll take it.”

He says it with a rather solemn expression.

But I also have a way.

“First, let’s erase all traces and burn it.”

“Is that okay?”

“I just need to leave a few traces.”

“What trace?”

“I’m going to do this as what the Eradicator did.”

Berserker was shocked. Did you hear that I should just do what I did? I did deal with a few people, too.

“Don’t many people know that the Eradicator is you?”

Oh, was that the problem?

Well, you know quite a few people, right?

What’s the problem with that?

“What if I know?”

“I was going to ask you.”

“You just have to insist no.”

“….”

“And what will you do if you find out it’s me?”

“…That too.”

I took care of the blood-sucking parasites, so I should give him a reward.

I burned down the building after leaving behind a few traces that could be assumed to be the Eradicator.

The Eradicator is helpful in times like this.

I feel like I have another identity.
