Crazy Talented Ex-Villain - Crazy Talented Ex-Villain chapter 123
advice, not advice
Jongno-gu, Seoul, US Embassy.
Richard Ladd, US Ambassador to Korea, does not hide his displeasure.
“You revealed your identity?”
“Yes. As it turned out later, I decided that there was nothing good about it. It seemed better to approach it from a long-term perspective rather than getting hurt by high-value factors.”
“Shit, that was a hasty decision. It was something that could be revealed gradually.”
“… … .”
“Couldn’t you be more careful? No, why were you sent to the field in the first place?”
“The upper management said that DuPont’s complaints were greater than expected. They said it would take some time in the process of coordinating working-level staff. Field input was inevitable.”
Even with the explanation of the East Asian branch duke, codename Red, the twisted brow did not know how to loosen up easily.
Because I couldn’t have liked the actions of the CIA agent who moved out of my hands.
“… How long have you been talking?”
“The details have been posted as a report.”
“It must have been in Langley (CIA Headquarters). I haven’t received anything.”
“It was all about simple explanations and questions and answers.”
“Isn’t that why you ask what it is!”
As the voice finally shows signs of rising, the agent, who is entangled in a delicate relationship with the US ambassador to Korea, opens his mouth slowly.
In any case, since I needed his help for my activities in Korea, I chose to vomit it out as it is.
“Starting with the reason why the country wants to recruit high-value factors, a few other requests were added.”
“Apart from the former, what request?”
“They wanted to use the CIA’s intelligence network. Currently, we are accessing Level 2 secrets of the Korean Intelligence Agency, but we need more detailed data. Mainly related to the international situation.”
“If we create an international raid group, we’ll get clearance for level 1 secrecy.”
“Because the quality of information is different. Especially when it comes to overseas information.”
Anyway, CIA bastards.
The U.S. ambassador muttered, “Every time I see that guy’s confidence,” he nodded his head.
“And?”
“We requested the personal information of the Korean heroes recommended for the international raid team, the identity of a specific person, and the right to use reconnaissance and spy satellites. Surprisingly, he pokes out the keyhole. It seemed like you already knew.”
“You couldn’t have accepted all of them, did you?”
“… … .”
“… Hey, are you crazy?”
However, the understanding is also short-lived.
When the reconnaissance spy satellite, Keyhole, is mentioned, the atmosphere becomes chilly again.
“That’s a monthly pass! It’s not something you can decide on your own! At least you should have reported to the defense attaché and waited for an answer!”
Of course, agents also had their own reasons.
“I didn’t accept it. It was more like a deal than that.”
“after… Just tell me.”
“The high-value factor first wanted a reasonable deal. Your ability… In exchange for information, they demanded advanced things.”
One after another, the main topic jumps out without even having time to send out suspicious eyes.
“They told us to stop the subjugation operation in Kingston.”
“… Canada?”
“you’re right. A city that is only across the river and is American land. Currently, due to the fall of a level 3 monster, the international attack force ‘Revolt’ is preparing for a subjugation operation.”
“… … .”
In response, the U.S. ambassador is silent, recalling the information on Lee Yong-soo, a high-value factor.
The answer I came up with after thinking about it contains a negative feeling.
“It’s not that simple. This was requested by the Canadian government, and as you said, isn’t it a city bordering the border? It’s hard to stop from a political point of view. I’m sure the White House will be against it.”
“Still, I’ve heard that ‘if you can’t really stop, send at least three more high-ranking raiders.’”
“… That’s absurd. Are you looking out across the sea? Even a top-notch linker wouldn’t be able to detect it that far.”
“If you watch it, you will know. However, I think it is better to overprepare when it comes to national security.”
“… I’ll be in touch upstairs.”
I didn’t like the way they communicated, but I couldn’t resist the word national security.
And the agent didn’t move in place despite the gesture to get out.
“Sorry, but we have two more left. As I said earlier, he wanted a reasonable deal.”
“… I am listening.”
“Lee warned that Fort Davis would fall.”
“Are my ears right? You mean Fort Davis in Panama?”
At this point, the blond-haired middle-aged man opened his jaw wide, forgetting about his stature.
Fort Davis.
Completed in 1904, this historic fort was a front-line battleground that protected the Panama Canal and prevented large groups of monsters from South America.
“Why no answer? Once Fort Davies is breached, there is no line of defense until we enter Mexican territory. I’d rather it be a nasty joke. what is this… … .”
“I agree. It would be nice if it was false. But it seemed pretty sure. No, I was sure.”
“Why? How and for what reason did you say it was captured? Elite heroes are stationed at Fort Davis. If it collapses, it means there will surely be an accident.”
“… The exact reason was not given.”
“Isn’t that important!”

My voice naturally rises at the story without the core, but from the point of view of the code name Red, there is nothing to offer.
Even though he asked again and again, only silence returned.
In fact, Lee Yong-soo only recalled the accidents by year, but because he did not know the details. Assuming that he was a person with prophecy or foreknowledge-related abilities, of course he was nervous.
“My back hurts. If this prediction comes true… There will be blood in the political world. The Democrats will be happy.”
“… Ambassador.”
“Oh yeah. damn this one more left nice what’s next? Is the Alaskan front collapsing?”
“… … .”
When no answer comes back to his sarcastic reply, the color on the face of the head of the U.S. embassy soon disappears.
“… If you want to change your mind, it’s not too late now. My son is in the 10th Mountain Division. They’re holding off monsters in the middle of the mountain.”
“I’m sorry. They said that within this year the upper Yukon River would be surrendered. If nothing else is done, even Fairbanks (a city in central Alaska) will have to be abandoned. In other words, the eastern front in Alaska will be rebuilt around the Tanana River-”
The boy expressed it as a ‘reasonable deal’, but every single remark he spat out was a subject that had to go through the White House.

Mid-May.
As a result of the monster wreaking havoc around the world, trade between countries was carried out at a higher speed than ever.
In the HT group, a new support team was formed with manager Park Yu-jin at the center.
Actually, I had no free time, except for personal training time, I was passing the time at the headquarters of the Management Bureau for Persons with Special Ability.
<Why is there nothing to do? It’s your job to choose your teammates.>
In the Bureau’s underground facility.
While Yujin Park points out that the position of the training doll is out of alignment by more than 2 cm, the parrot grumbles while turning over a thick bundle of papers.
Indeed, familiar photos and personal abilities were kindly written on the scraps of paper.
<Why the hell am I looking at this? huh? As a hero… no Lack of self-awareness as a representative of the Goddess. Is it something that can be solved by just putting it off?>
“… I have to take the exam anyway.”
<It’s a promotion review, so I’ll give you all the best conditions, but what kind of test is it? At your level, you can pass it with your eyes closed. The body is also growing, but since the number of skills has also increased, the synergistic effect will work. Adding moonlight to the specialized ability ‘Discharge Hatred’ is enough.>
“Moonlight can’t be used in the exam. It only applies at night.”
<Not at night, but when the moon rises, fool.>
I wish I could stop nagging.
In the beak, a cold reality pours out one after another.
<Moreover, since Gwang-shik agreed, he must take responsibility.>
“who?”
<Agent Naburang. You didn’t deny your foreknowledge ability when you said something like that.>
“I didn’t even say yes.”
<Silence is affirmation. don’t you know?>
Unfortunately, there is no excuse.
<Accept reality. Life is like a waterwheel, it is difficult to turn the first wheel, and once it starts to move, it turns around. So pick a raid member, and do your thing. Even if the situation isn’t urgent, I don’t have enough time to take a break.>
“… What’s the next monster?”
Instead of answering my questions, the furry red one spits out his own words.
Protection type mage, Maya Popina.
Tanker, Valeria Andreyeva.
Russian Orthodox priests, such as Ina Miranova.
From the personal information sent from the north, to the promising talents picked from countries with many rice fields across the Pacific Ocean. However, to be a promising player, the individual’s ability was not normal.
<There are too many in the US. Organism-manipulating Lina Taylor, cloaking Eleanor Turner and the whirlpool? Kuh-hum, Kate Holding, who handles whirlwinds, and Lara Newberry, who can snipe at long range. But, why did they only select human females? Yongsu, is it because you are male? Well, if you get strength by pulling it out like this… Nothing bad!>
“shut up.”
In addition, the parrot’s use of vulgar words is not common.
I would have thought that the bird would spit out the sounds I only heard outside the barrier.
But anyway, the golden macaw urged without the slightest hesitation.
Let anyone pick one.
<Anyway, building a team is important. You should make it early and put it together before starting the next subjugation operation. Speaking of international raiders, they say that they are limited to dispatching four times a year because of the minor hero management law or something.>
“… … .”
<If that’s not the case, is it because the little ones are on your mind? You know, Lim Seol-ha, Lim Seong-min, and other awkward guys.>
Then, suddenly, a strange story came out and hurt my stomach.
A bitch that bothers me.
“Even if an international attack force is created, the training academy system will remain as it is. You mentioned the underage hero management bill directly with your snout.”
<I asked just in case.>
The answer came back immediately, but it is difficult to return to the original planting once twisted, so I hang on to the question I asked earlier.
So what is your next goal?
<Surely to save the world. After signing the contract with the goddess, you will be able to live as you please, but that doesn’t mean you can live in a messy place. Let’s try to block it as far as we can.>
“I asked the monster.”
<… monster? Well. Draco’s appearance will take a few more years, so the only thing left is the west, but I don’t recommend dealing with the family of hummingbirds yet.>
“Didn’t you say that going west would be a good experience?”
<I did. But we killed the eagle. It seems the demons have changed their minds.>
It wasn’t the answer I was looking for.
