The Crazy Demigod Returns - The Crazy Demigod Returns chapter 92
successor
“Don’t cross the line. He looks like a guy with a head, so I don’t have to explain further.”
He meant a lot, but he already gained a lot by investing the ankles of only three of his subordinates.
He must have understood it properly as he knew the current stream and saved thousands of lives by showing his creeping appearance.
There was no problem with them living on this land.
A primitive era in which languages, thoughts, and cultures are different, and the overwhelming superiority of the Japanese Awakened forces is predicted. It is a strange world where there are no incidents.
But it didn’t matter.
All guild members belonging to the Justice to Die guild are dead, and the winner of the war is over there. So I had a right to have it. As long as you hold your breath like you do now and turn over like a dog.
As if he had noticed both his intention and his intention to accept it, his gaze quickly turned to his toes.
“Go, thank you! I will keep that in mind!”
Subsequently, the waists of thousands of subordinates bowed along.
They each chant a thank you note in their mother tongue Japanese mixed with clumsy Korean.
“this… .”

Looking at the whole scene, he turned his head and said to Paik Geon-wu, who was muttering.
“All the good guys I know do this. It seems that you care less than your Ojilap, and save a lot more. how is it?”
* * *
widely-
“Uh… !”
When Ha Yeon-woo relaxed at the place where the building fully appeared, Paik Kun-wu’s parents, who had been floating in the air all the way from Busan to Seoul, lightly landed on the floor.
Perhaps the Awakener who was standing guard had already sent a message inside, and his colleagues were already showing up in front of the building.
How far did you walk after dropping off the couple? People rushed out of the wide open front door.
“Gunwu!”
“mother! father!”
Starting with close co-workers and people I knew, I met up with them, and even though I saw them for the first time, I simply greeted them and congratulated them on their return.
Paik Geon-wu, who had been watching him with a light smile, got along for a while, then approached Ha Yeon-wu, who was one step away, and bowed his head politely.
“thank you. Working in Busan and caring about my parents until the very end.”
It took about two hours from Busan to Gangnam.
In fact, it was about the same as the time I saw work in Busan.
It was possible to go back and forth within tens of minutes if you were alone with Paik Kun-wu, but his parents were strictly ordinary people.
No matter how much Ha Yeon-woo’s power helped him to float in the air and block air resistance, speed beyond that was too much for an ordinary human to endure.
I adjusted the speed to a reasonable level, but it must have felt like riding a roller coaster highlight course for two hours.
“You did what you promised.”
The couple who saw the two of them also approached and said hello.
“I guess we are lucky.”
“There will be no favors. Ha Yeon-woo… Right?”
From the time of departure, Paik Kun-wu kept silent, and it was the first conversation and thanksgiving between the two couples, who couldn’t even say a word, perhaps because of the atmosphere that Ha Yeon-woo gave off.
“It was just a deal.”
Despite the calm reply, the smiling faces of the two couples were still the same.
“I know. Because Geon-woo told me. still… I know you don’t want anything that will harm my child.”
Does that mean he’s not a bad guy?
I didn’t bother to answer politely.
“Oh, come on in. Guild people will guide you.”
Paik Geon-woo, who looked at the atmosphere, tried to conclude the conversation, and some colleagues who saw it approached and led the couple.
“Come in, Mother. father.”
“Should we eat first?”
“Yes, yes… then. See you later.”
Just like Paik Kun-wu, the two bowed their heads and left.
Did you notice something? Or is it a polite word?
Saying that we would meet again as if we were taking it for granted, we entered the building.
For a while, the commotion around them continued.
“scent… So, in the end, you took a picture of the end of the land and saved it, right? Are you alone?”
“Our guild, are you done investigating the guys with connections in the provinces?”
“of course. I’ve already figured out the list of people to find.”
Ha Yeon-woo’s companion would have been important, but success was success.
Was it because he saw the potential? All in all, the atmosphere was encouraging.
Not surprising. Of the Awakeners who had enemies in Seoul, at least half were from the provinces.

Like a salmon that glows red and crosses the water to spawn before it dies, it was their physiology to go up to Seoul to grab more money and more honor, even if they die today.
Besides, these are all people who have been locked up here for about a month or so, with everything cut off.
Because there was never a safe world without monsters.
Humans who are sometimes much more terrifying than them, and mutant creatures who do not yet know when and where they appear are scattered.
So, of course, if I didn’t have a place of residence in the area, I would have lost ties with my family, and now that I saw the possibility, I’m so full of hope.
The hope that the precious person can be alive, that we can meet again.
“hope… .”
The sound that came out of my mouth unconsciously. Paik Geon-wu, who managed to hear it properly, responded with a smile.
“It was given to me by the teacher. The hope that I can meet my family, and that I can go to rescue them.”
Everyone has a dream and a goal.
Ha Yeon-woo’s dream and goal is to bring his family back to life.
It wasn’t much different from those who lost a precious person.
‘Are you full of hope? I.’
“Baek Kun-woo.”
“yes yes.”
“I will finalize the contract.”
With those words, Baek Kun-wu’s expression changed calmly as he recalled that all of this had come from a transaction.
“Would you like to move? The people here… .”
“No, you don’t have to.”
There was nothing to be bad or to lose just because the people here were listening.
A low voice that everyone could hear flowed from Ha Yeon-woo’s mouth.
“All I want in return for helping you is that you put Seoul under your feet.”
“… … yes?”
The building in front of dozens of people was immersed in silence like a movie, and everyone’s eyes were focused on the two.
“Did you hear?”
“To put Seoul under your feet… You mean a coup?”
“Are you telling us to go to war instead?”
Though his thoughts may be different from theirs, Paik Geon-wu is also dazed.
“For now, that is the condition. The minimum conditions for paying me.”
“then… Are you saying that’s not the end? For what the hell… .”
“You will be my successor. The successor who will rule the Sara Autonomous District and the region including the Seoul area here.”
The second remark plunged the scene into a quieter confusion.
It was spontaneous, but by no means an impulsive decision.
I had my own calculations, and I just chose what I thought was best in the current situation.
Jang Won-woo is smart, but as the forces gather, it becomes difficult to control the Awakened.

Leaving out.
Na Sang-gi has a sense of humanity and did a good job, but that’s it. A prime minister who assists someone, he can never become a king.
From noble mtl dot com
Leaving out.
My father… drop out of course.
Needless to say, Jang Bo-ra, who seems to be in a strange mood with Jang Won-woo these days.
These four were the only ones willing to give up their power and lend their names at will.
Even if I was betrayed by Ha Yeon-woo’s standards, I don’t think anything of it. People you can say believe in.
“I know that there are many awakened people under you. Even the strong people who were called masters in the early days… .”
“cougar? Are you talking about a guy like Lee Il-hwan?”
“I don’t know the name… I heard rumors while I was in the guild.”
“They are impossible.”
In the first place, there was no name of an Awakener affiliated with Cougar in the options for just in case.
“Impossible? I don’t have a foundation, and I think it’s better that way than the first one I’ve seen… .”
That was right. according to third party standards.
From noble mtl dot com
Lee Il-hwan, who was the owner of the cougar, was in the same 6th rank as Paik Geon-woo. In detail, Paik Kun-woo would have the upper hand, but from Ha Yeon-woo’s point of view, that was it.
In addition, the Awakened Armed Forces of Sara Autonomous District are strong enough to wipe out not only the guild base but also the entire Seoul if there is time.
Thousands of high-ranking gang members are Sara Borough and Cougars. It was because they were moved by their leader, Lee Il-hwan, and their own horse that reigned over everything. but.
“They are knives.”
“knife… What?”
“okay. A knife that cuts annoying things at the will of its master.”
When used with a black sword, utility shines.
As they used to roll in the shadows, they are useful when wielded, but there must be problems that arise when they become wielders.
“I want the guy who will act as head for me to be a normal human being, not a knife. Just then, you caught my eye.”
“I am… On behalf of the teacher… .”
“So come back after taking Seoul with your own strength. It will start from then.”
It was a kind of test. It wasn’t that I threw in an impossible task.
“You said You guilds who say that Seoul is now a new Korea. The government hides behind the military in Yeouido and hangs on with a bar. A group with gate companies as the main axis in Gangseo. It’s a three-way battle like this.”
“That would be right. There is traffic in Seoul, so information comes and goes in a certain degree of transparency… .”
Paik’s job was simple.
Guild forces that lost the trust of the existing government. All you have to do is unite the abbreviated New Korea and defeat the government in Yeouido and the Gate Cartel in Gangseo.
“Come to think of it, isn’t Ilsung Gate number one in the industry? This building is the headquarters of Ilsung Group.”
“Ah, it is true that Ilsung Gate was under the Ilsung Group, but it was not run by the family. The cartel was also made by them on their own.”
The government has lost both its ability and operational power, and the cartel forces in Gangseo, whose predecessors are gate companies, are expanding their power by killing people at random.
A part of the conversation with Paik Kun-woo on the way to Busan. And it was an extension of that.
“Is the direction completely different?”
“In the past, there was a connection that the Ilsung Group provided the funds, but it became meaningless as the situation went like this… It’s like a man with the same name. Now they have abandoned the name Ilseong.”
One of the information that Paik Kun-woo conveyed was that the gate cartel forces that swallowed Gangseo were most likely the ones who threw Korea into chaos before the disaster.
Humans who would literally do anything to raise their taxes and make a profit. It was a move that revealed his true nature.
Since Gate happened only 11 years ago, related businesses also had the same starting point.
However, the Ilsung Group had a huge amount of money, so they gathered related personnel based on them, created the Ilsung Gate, and ranked first in the industry.
However, most of the members are not pro-Japanese figures, but outside gate-related scholars, gate industry experts, former politicians, and first-class awakening people.
With those who sat in high positions as the main axis, they secretly carried out the renovation work under the protection of Ilseong.
When the disaster broke out and stocks and money became shreds of paper, they would have formed their own forces by taking out only the net exhaust.
“Then it would be better to rally the guilds you don’t belong to first and then attack the Gangseo side. Yeouido won’t move easily.”
“yes? so suddenly… .”
“A deal is a deal.”
For now, it is predicted that Paik Kun-woo will join with a high probability, but it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t come under.
It was enough to maintain the same relationship as now and use it as a cleaner to clean up Seoul.
It was a matter of finding the right person over time. I don’t know if a person as suitable as Paik Kun-wu will appear, and there will be some setbacks in the plan.
“… May I ask what your purpose is? It doesn’t make sense to simply create a powerful force or country. The words of putting me on the line, and the fact that they gave me the homework to unify Seoul. If the teacher wants… .”
“It’s all easy.”
Paik Kun-wu’s question about the purpose was still unanswered, and his head nodded as if it were natural.
“I need time. Time to move freely alone without being tied down here.”
You cannot approach the Adjuster by being entangled.
The power that the other self of the pan continent used clumsily.
A trick that brought the dead back to life by offering himself as a sacrifice, like forbidden magic. I had to get a clue what it was.
The guy who came from the Human Empire I met in Africa. It took time to figure out what kind of principle it was, similar to the power it had.
There was no way for him to come up with an answer if he was caught up in playing with the land and playing with the king.
“But this place shouldn’t be ruined. Even if all parts of the earth are crushed, this alone must remain a land where everyone can maintain peace.”
Nevertheless, based on Sara Autonomous District, it was necessary to protect and preserve the surrounding land as much as possible. Prosperity could not have been better.
“When everything is put together, I need someone to take over here instead of me. That’s all.”
Baek Geon-wu looks up at Ha Yeon-wu.
“… Is it to make the world a better place?”
It was a word that came after quite a long silence.
