Episode 184
Zhou Quan’s private plane departed from Singapore and took a complicated turn heading to Incheon, South Korea.
The interior of the dictator’s private plane was luxurious. Not only are all kinds of convenience facilities provided, but the crew is also filled with veterans selected through verification.
Zhou Quan did not want flight attendants as beautiful as trophies. As a dictator, his own safety was his top priority, and he consisted mainly of those who could throw themselves on his behalf when going out of Singapore and those who could calmly judge ergency situations.
A distance that would have previously only taken about 6 hours took over 10 hours to avoid flying monsters. Zhou Quan frowned upon hearing the estimated arrival ti.
“It takes a long ti.”
“It’s the age of monsters. “With that, my father took a chance.”
There are very few people in Singapore who can say sothing like this to Zhou Quan. Because most of them are dead.
His eyes turned to the side at the offending words. There, a woman in her early 30s with a radiant charm was sitting in an elegant manner. Although she was beautiful, Zhou Quan’s expression towards her was not kind.
“Is that why you followed ?”
“Because you’re worried about your father?”
“Are you asking to believe that? “Tell what’s on your mind, Zhou Xingxia.”
Zhou Xingxia was Zhou Quan’s daughter and secretary, and was a powerful person known as Zhou Quan’s trickster.
Zhou Quan trusted and followed her advice, given her excellent resourcefulness and quick judgnt, but there were many tis when she did not like it because she was too involved in everything.
However, because he was right in every detail, he was Zhou Quan’s most trusted partner.
“Korea is a dangerous place.”
“Are you talking about that again?”
Zhou Quan looked as if he had lost steam. From the mont Zhou Xingxia heard that Zhou Quan was heading to Korea, he insisted that he be careful of Choi Jun-ho.
There is no way Zhou Quan doesn’t know that fact.
“You have to be careful.”
“I never said I would disobey you.”
“But my opponent is Choi Jun-ho.”
“That can also be solved with a political solution.”
Although Zhou Xingxia’s words were jarring, Zhou Quan knew that they made sense. So, we tried to find a solution by talking with the Korean governnt.
This is because the governnt of the Republic of Korea sees it as having a conversation with Choi Jun-ho. Choi Jun-ho, who was a troublemaker, has beco noticeably quieter recently, and Zhou Quan sees this as the governnt’s success in taming Choi Jun-ho’s vicious dog.
So I prepared so tasty food.
That is the bundle worth 10 trillion won. Zhou Quan thought that this amount of money could guarantee his safety. Zhou Xingxia also agreed to this. But I wasn’t even sure.
“Political solutions may not be everything.”
“So you didn’t take so devices?”
It is said that Zhou Quan was proud, stubborn, and had a fiery personality, but if he had not been smart, he would not have been able to take over Singapore.
He was extrely concerned about his own safety and had made several preparations for that purpose.
If so, you may have this question:
Why take the risk to visit Choi Jun-ho?
“It’s worth it.”
It is attractive that Choi Jun-ho is able to recognize the latent gifts of others.
Among superhumans, there is no one who would overlook the fact that they can beco stronger than they are now.
Here is one more reason.
“Especially your gift opening will bring complete peace of mind.”
Zhou Xingxia was also an awakened person and an outstanding person. However, the gift has not yet been opened. That’s why I forced myself to follow him.
For the opening of Zhou Xingxia’s gift.
“….”
Zhou Xingxia innocently did not like it.
Although he pretended to care for his daughter, in the end, it was a asure that put his daughter first.
Choi Jun-ho’s gift search was known to be very dangerous, so if he was safe, he would plan to proceed further.
If I hadn’t taken that risk, I wouldn’t have been able to rise to second place in Singapore.
“I wonder what the safest country in Asia is like. “If you beco a citizen of Seoul, the aftermath of a monster attack is sothing you only see on TV, right?”
Zhou Xingxia frowned when Zhou Quan, who was both a dictator and a lecher, took a sip.
“Once you arrive in Korea, you need to control yourself.”
“Are you trying to notice this too?”
“Then are you planning to give an excuse? “We must also take into account the current chaotic situation in China.”
The reason Zhou Quan was able to smoothly establish himself as Singapore’s dictator was because of China’s cooperation.
He solidified his power by working with a strong supporter in China, but recently, as the situation in China took an unusual turn, he found himself in a situation where his support was unable to exert its power.
An example was the imdiate influx of refugees into Singapore.
“If Choi Jun-ho is involved in the chaos, it could beco more dangerous.”
“That could be possible.”
“When I go back, I can resolve the issue as much as I want, so be patient until then.”
“Of course.”
After tasting his food, Zhou Quan nodded. He knew how to prepare for the future rather than his own desires.
anwhile, their plane arrived in Incheon.
* * *
“Welco to Korea.”
It was Chen Ming-guk who ca out to et Zhou Quan. Zhou Quan was also well aware of his existence.
A being who played a decisive role in taming a fierce hunting dog nad Choi Jun-ho. How dare he be called No. 2 in the Blue House, surpassing the Chief of Staff.
During his ti as a hunter, he was renowned as an outstanding strategist, and after entering the Blue House, he made Choi Jun-ho a superman and is one of President Jeon Han-cheol’s close associates who led his success.
Zhou Quan smiled with satisfaction.
“You still care that you are sending the President’s blessings.”
“That’s too much praise.”
“First impressions are judged by who you send. “I’ll tell the president I’m grateful.”
“thank you.”
Cheon Myeong-guk and Zhou Quan and their party headed to the Blue House. While driving, Zhou Quan asked several questions.
“I will be eting Choi Jun-ho. How should I deal with him?”
Cheon Myeong-guk is a renowned specialist against Choi Jun-ho.
Cheon Myeong-guk, who paused at the question, apologized and took a sip of water.
“Choi Jun-ho likes simple language rather than political rhetoric. “I think the best way to et soone is to be honest about what you want.”
“You are casting the most difficult order.”
“It is impossible to order Superhuman Choi Jun-ho to match soone else.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
anwhile, the car they rode in arrived at the Blue House.
The President, who had prepared a dinner there in advance, held a summit with Zhou Quan under the the of the future of the two countries.
At that event, the leaders of the two countries achieved the result of signing a contract worth 10 trillion won.
And Zhou Quan went straight to see Choi Jun-ho.
* * *
When I first saw Zhou Quan, I got the impression that he was stubborn and greedy. It was similar to the rumor that was actually known, so I must have seen the physiognomy correctly.
The woman standing behind him was staring at as if she was trying to look into , but when our eyes t, she turned her head slightly to avoid eye contact. That woman must be Zhou Quan’s daughter Zhou Xingxia. I heard he was a person with great talent.
It can be annoying to have a smart person next to you.
I shook hands with Zhou Quan.
“Zhou Quan.”
“This is Junho Choi.”
We sat down and had a cup of tea. He took a sip, furrowed his brows as if he didn’t like the coffee, put down the cup, and then opened his mouth.
“Do you really have to spar to do that gift search thing?”
“I don’t care about gift exploration. But aren’t you here to take the level 9 test?”
“It would be impossible to defeat Head Breaker with my skills. “What I’m interested in is gift exploration, not the level 9 test.”
“okay.”
I felt the intention to put off the impossible and take only the certain things.
By the way, I think other people are calling it gift search. And I learned that this gift search has the power to make even the most self-interested dictators co to Korea.
“Do I need to prepare anything separately?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“And is it possible to search for additional gifts?”
“That has never happened.”
I guess that was the purpose of being filled with greed. Zhou Quan curled up the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with greed.
“Then I hope you do it this ti.”
“Gift Search is a courtesy to the Adept taking the Level 9 test. “I don’t think there’s a need to do it.”
“It would be difficult to do this to just anyone. “Then how about this?”
Zhou Quan winked, and an attendant placed a large storage box the size of an apple box on the table.
“Do you know what this is?”
“I do not know.”
“It is the treasure known as the Tears of the Divine Beast.”
Tears of the Divine Beast? Was there such a treasure other than the essence?
Yongyong, who was next to him, responded.
[Tears of the Divine Beast? We don’t cry, right?]
With Shinsu next to , I thought I could clearly know what kind of object it was.
Zhou Quan must have thought that I was interested and gestured to the attendant. The sealed storage box was opened and the contents inside were revealed.
It was a solid body with a subtle force. It looked like a stone, but it also shone like a jewel. There is definitely an unusual energy radiating.
Could it be the essence of a divine beast? Or fragnts?
[Oh, this is…]
It seed like he knew what Yongyong was. What is this?
I thought it was a useful item, but the answer I received was completely absurd.
[This is monster poop?]
What?
[To be exact, I couldn’t fully accept the power, so I sent it out along with the excrent. Sotis, if you eat too much, you may not be able to digest the Force. That light cos from the condensation of excrent and force.]
“….”
It was an absurd thing and an absurd result.
So you’re saying Zhou Quan is giving shit right now?
In the end, that’s what happened.
Be that as it may, Zhou Quan was speaking with a proud look on his face as he placed his hand on the excrent.
When I said poop, my hands suddenly looked dirty.
They were packaging it like a great treasure, so I told them the facts.
“This is the excrent of a monster.”
“what? “Nonsense!”
“When the force clings to the excrent produced by a marine monster after digesting less food, it cos out in this form.”
[Are you a parrot?]
“….”
Zhou Quan’s expression beca scary at my words. After telling the attendant to clean it up, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands until they made a loud sound.
A mont ago it was treated as a treasure, but in an instant it was treated as trash.
“I’ll give you 1 trillion.”
“Of course. Instead, it is paid in advance.”
“Good, very refreshing. “I’ll deposit the money right away.”
The deposit process was carried out at Zhou Quan’s instructions, and the deposit was completed a short ti later.
I thought it was really easy to make money.
When the business reached a certain level, Zhou Quan spoke to in a quiet voice.
“What do you think about dictatorship?”
“I haven’t really thought about it.”
“The world is groaning under the threat of monsters. Democracy is a good political system. “But I don’t think democracy is appropriate in a monster attack.”
At the sa ti, Zhou Quan began to explain his political views. To put it simply, it was bullshit to rationalize his dictatorship.
“Democracy has slow decision-making speed and is noisy. Rather, when power is concentrated like it is now, things can be done quickly. For that, a capable iron man must rise to the top. “In order for us to survive, iron politics by powerful people must take root.”
The sophistry about the reasons for his dictatorship was going too far.
Well, anyone can assert themselves.
It would be possible to at least listen to the will of a dying person.
[Human, don’t you think that appeals to you? When other people say power, they are all excited.]
It is good because it is power. However, I think power is about being able to act as you please rather than lording it over soone.
No matter how much money I have or how much people fear and look up to , it doesn’t matter. If you beco a villain, you won’t be able to enjoy the great infrastructure of this world.
We just think differently.
And Zhou Quan’s thods are wrong, so even if I kill him, I can hear praise rather than criticism.
“Then shall we start right away?”
“Sure.”
We headed straight to the training ground. Zhou Quan said various things to make feel more comfortable, and I could feel that he wanted to beco closer to .
We roughly agreed and arrived at the training ground.
“So whose gift do you want to explore?”
At my words, the woman who had been searching for stepped forward. This is the person who has been watching since a while ago.
“My na is Zhou Xingxia.”
“Nice to et you.”
I didn’t know much about Zhou Xingxia, but Lee Se-hee and Jin Se-jeong told to pay attention to this woman. It is said that it was Zhou Xingxia’s role that enabled Zhou Quan, who made many small mistakes and caused gossip, to establish himself as an iron-blooded dictator.
He smiled seductively at , but if I had used the gift, I would have destroyed his head first. Co to think of it, Sehee Lee was like that too, right? Even so, considering that we have now beco friends, Lee Se-hee’s resourcefulness was even more remarkable.
Just by looking at Zhou Xingxia, he looked like he was good at stabbing people in the back. I rembered a villain with a similar vibe trying to seduce and imdiately smashing my head.
To put it simply, this is the type of person I hate.
“Is there sothing I should do?”
“You just have to stand still.”
Zhou Xingxia stood in front of . I made eye contact with her, nodded lightly, and then raised my hand.
The mont when awakened people are most nervous is now. Having to watch use my hands defenselessly. After this beca known, many superhumans gave up.
I don’t know why I’m being so careful, since it’s not a problem to kill soone if I decide to do it anyway.
“let’s begin.”
“…!”
Zhou Xingxia’s eyes widened as he dug into his chest without hesitation. Everyone around them reacts with shock. But my hand had already penetrated my chest and was still clutching my heart.
Ignoring the reactions of those around , I took my hand out of my chest, brought it to my mouth, and poured the healing agent with my other hand.
Chi-ik!
While watching the wound on his chest heal, I explored Zhou Xingxia’s gift. And when he realized what a potential gift Zhou Xingxia had, he paused.
‘Speed accident?’
[Is it good?]
It’s good. So much so that it is said that it is annoying when it enters the enemy.
High-speed thinking is the exact opposite of intuition, and is the gift of accelerating the flow of thought to reach a conclusion.
It has less recoil than Cheon Myeong-guk’s simulation and can be used at the right ti and in the right place when needed, making it highly versatile.
Even if it’s not legendary, it can be said that it’s very good.
[Then you can just take it.]
Even if I use this, it’s like drawing lines on a pumpkin.
If this gift gets into the hands of a smart person, its power becos terrifying.
If you go in with this vicious woman, it will be very annoying.
It certainly seems that there is no God in this world. Seeing such an opportunity co to the woman who assisted the massacre.
no. Do you mind that you ca to before I got it?
Without showing any emotion, I told Zhou Xingxia about the existence of the gift.
“Speed accident?”
“Whahaha! Congratulations! Zhou Xingxia!”
Starting with Zhou Quan, the attendants gave congratulations.
“Congratulations.”
I also offered my congratulations. Perhaps, if I work hard from now on, I will be able to achieve a high-speed accident within a few years.
That is, if you are still alive by then.
