Yoo Sung-soo.
The president had a complicated look on his face. Was there a reason to deal with a corrupt politician so cautiously?
The corruption allegations handed over by the Awakened Minister regarding Yoo Sung-soo were primarily threefold.
Promoting smuggling, raising illegal funds, and colluding with villains.
There are more detailed classifications, but those three were the corruptions that occurred through trade with Japan, and what truly mattered was their impact on Japan.
Money generated through smuggling was being funneled to the Japanese branch of the League. From the Japanese point of view, a politician from another country was funding the League, and from the Korean point of view, the mayor of Busan was connected to the League.
Theyll just say its a political attack.
Yoo Sung-soo was a leading opposition presidential candidate. To capture such a presidential candidate with Japanese intelligence?
The president, foreseeing a tireso dispute looming ahead, shifted his attention elsewhere.
For now, we cant rely solely on Japanese sources for this matter. Its a part that requires cross-verification. Moreover, theres a need to scrutinize the sources of information as well.
And we need to see how many others are involved.
In simple terms, it was a hit list.
Theres that too. If we dont, everyone will end up dead. Selecting carefully is crucial. Will you take direct action?
That was the obvious choice.
Considering the sincerity shown by Japan, I think its best for to step in.
It was a kind of custor care service. Moreover, Yoo Sung-soo, seen once in Busan, was almost certainly connected. If it werent for him, Jagalchi wouldnt have grown that big.
No matter how large the villain organization in the city beca, there were limits. They could never reveal themselves in broad daylight. So, although it was unsettling, it was clear that Yoo Sung-soo was behind it.
Right now, Jagalchi was involved in drugs and human trafficking. As a politician, Yoo Sung-soo was connected to villains and all kinds of cris. Wasnt that what they called a kingpin?
I was thinking its best to take them down and find evidence, but the presidents thoughts could be different.
Ill let you know once the cross-verification is completed.
Ill wait with anticipation.
The President lowered his head with a tired expression.
Ah, its not that killing people was enjoyable, its dealing with villains thats fun.
He didnt believe , right?

While conducting information cross-validation under the Presidents orders, Cheon Myeong-guk feels limited in assisting the President and managing Choi Jun-ho.
This aligned with the Presidents interest in establishing a new governnt agency to regain control from the large guilds. Cheon Myeong-guk visited the National Security Agency to find the most promising candidate.
Why have you suddenly co to see ? Hyung-nim.
Jung Ju-ho greeted him with a puzzled expression, confused by Cheon Myeong-guks unexpected visit.
Ive co to make a formal proposal. Director of the National Security Agency.
Um, have I done sothing wrong?
Of course not.
Well, lets talk about it over coffee first.
Jung Ju-ho brewed two cups of coffee, and the two of them took so ti to organize their thoughts while sipping coffee.
As two people who occasionally drank together, this mont felt extrely awkward. Especially with Cheon Myeong-guks polite attitude, Jeong Ju-ho felt intense unease.
Whats going on here?
So, what is the proposal you ntioned?
Its not my proposal, its the Presidents proposal.
The President?
As soon as the President was ntioned, Jung Ju-ho straightened his posture.
The President highly appreciates the remarkable achievents youve made by leading the three agencies and cleaning up the villains this ti.
Leading? Its just a matter of coordinating with people I know. The National Security Agency did well, as did the Foreign Cooperation Agency and the Monster Defense Frontline Agency.
The President is well aware of Director Jung Ju-hos humility and his love for the country.
The words were long.
Jung Ju-ho felt a hint of insincerity in the verbose praise.
If he didnt handle this well, it could all collapse in an instant.
Naturally, his eyes on Cheon Myeong-guk beca more scrutinizing.
So, whats the proposal youre making?
Were planning to establish a new departnt that oversees the three agencies. I hope Director Jung Ju-ho will consider taking that position.
Ill confirm one thing first. Is this departnt going to work in conjunction with Choi Jun-ho for operations?
Of course, depending on the operation, it may involve working with Transcendent Choi Jun-ho
Where was he steering the conversation?
Jung Ju-ho, who had caught the tail, stubbornly pursued it.
No, I asked the wrong question. If I go to that departnt, Ill encounter Choi Jun-ho a lot, wont I? For reference, if its more than three tis a week, that would be a lot.
I cant say it wont be that much.
Then Ill decline. I wont do it.
Having discerned the true nature of the insincerity, Jung Ju-ho imdiately refused. Cracks appeared in Cheon Myeong-guks expression, who had failed to catch his prey in one go.
The position of the head of this departnt is at the commissioner level. Its an honorable position, and youre declining?
Yes.
Id like to know the reason.
First of all, I dont like the increased responsibility.
What?
Jung Ju-ho began to make excuses blatantly.
Being the head ans becoming a general over the three agencies, right? Naturally, the responsibilities increase as well. The work that needs to be done will also increase. I am satisfied with my current position. Im not seeking personal advancent, but rather a believer in serving a higher cause.
Hmm.
And if you look around, there are many people who can do better than . How about Yeom Ki-chul from the Foreign Cooperation Agency? Director Yeom leads the Foreign Cooperation Agency smoothly and has good relationships with several guilds. Hes a good worker and a good family man. With no strings holding him back, he could drive a strong campaign in line with governnt policy. I strongly recomnd Yeom Ki-chul.
After saying that, Jung Ju-ho fixed his gaze on his coffee cup and only sipped his coffee.
It was a gesture that he would not listen to any more of the conversation.
Cheon Myeong-guk, who had been watching him, furrowed his brow.
He noticed.
Indeed, he was a cunning raccoon leading the National Security Agency. As soon as he realized the trap, he built such a solid wall.
Naturally, it was Cheon Myeong-guk who recomnded Jung Ju-ho for the new head office.
While the recomndation was based on personal connections, its not particularly out of the ordinary. Jung Ju-ho has led the National Security Agency effectively and was the only one capable of smoothly coordinating between the Foreign Cooperation Agency and the Monster Defense Frontline Agency.
Above all, when it ca to handling Choi Jun-ho, Jung Ju-ho was a Special One.
The only person who could rescue himself from this dire situation.
Co to think of it, its because of him!
When he thought about it, this was all Jung Ju-hos fault.
Handing Choi Jun-ho over without letting him know the others true nature.
As a result, his healthy body turned into a miserable one in an instant.
The problem was that Jung Ju-ho could see through Cheon Myeong-guks intentions.
You think Im going to fall for that bait? Ive found peace, and Im not going to walk to hell.
After Choi Jun-ho was handed over to Cheon Myeong-guk, Jung Ju-ho experienced a miracle.
His receding hairline began to reverse, and his hair thickened.
For a man who had been slowing down his hair-loss progress with pills and treatnts, this was a miracle.
I need to pull Jung Ju-ho in and share the burden.
Hes a nationally recognized Transcendent. Let the higher-ups deal with him. Im just here to suck the honey.
Their fierce battle to pass Choi Jun-ho onto soone else continued.
