The Returner

5. Who sent you? (4)

“Why, why are you doing this! ”

Song Jung-soo shivered and retreated.

“What's wrong with someone you know? ”

Seeing Lee Hyuk, who was in a frenzy, Song Jeong-soo felt a chill all over his body.

It was a completely different matter that there was just a madman next to him and that madman was starting to target himself.

As soon as I realized that Lee Hyuk had targeted him, the madman in front of me suddenly got promoted to a madman who didn't know what he was going to do.

“There seems to be a misunderstanding.... ”

Anything goes wrong here, we're screwed.

Song Jeongsoo was intuitive.

His sense of longevity in the rugged politics warns of danger.

There's nothing to be afraid of, a politician about Song Jeong-soo. Rather, the kid on the road was more scared of the police than the politicians.

It's politicians who are stronger to the strong.

But the guy in front of me was different. This madman has no common sense.

Who can touch the governor of the ruling party in the Republic of Korea at last?

It wasn't the governor of the pants, it was the governor who had jurisdiction. As a politician in South Korea, Song Jin-su was the person with the most powerful influence.

Even the president is one step ahead of us.

‘I did... ’

This maniac didn't seem to care about that.

Sometimes in the world.

A person whose status and power have no meaning at all.

The problem is that such people are usually savages or powerless. Those with power tend to be reluctant to be afraid of their own power disappearing, so they are wary of those with other power.

Every human being.

But…….

‘I'm not this man. ’

First, this human power was enormous enough that no one could do anything about it, and second, this human power was insensitive to other forces on its subject.

It was like giving an M60 machine gun to an indigenous citizen right out of the jungle.

It's dangerous because it doesn't know where to splash, it's more dangerous because it's out of control.

“A misunderstanding?”

Lee Hyuk smiled.

“You look like a fool for dealing with a joke. Jung-hoon Choi.”

“Yes, Lee Ji-hyuk. ”

“Am I that stupid? ”

“No way. Generally speaking, Lee Ji-hyuk is not very intelligent, so he is more like a genius. ”

“Khh, that was too high. ”

Well played.

I got stuck pretty good.

Song Jong-soo wiped the sweat from his forehead.

“I'm not sure why you're doing this. I came with good intentions, but can you see where you're upset? ”

He did not lose his manners to the end.

If it had been elsewhere, it would have been a plus, but unfortunately, Lee Hyuk was not interested in such an appearance.

“Wow, you see this guy making fun of you and all? ”

Lee Hyuk smiled and looked back at Choi Jung-hoon.

“Do you need to learn? ”

“Me? ”

“Didn't you want to be a politician? Look at this guy. He's perfect. I'm a little disappointed in the president, but this guy's a real pain in the ass. ”

“… but I don't think we should say anything in front of the parties. ”

“Isn't that right? ”

“Well, I should. But wouldn't it be an excuse to say to a short person," You're so short? "”

“Will that work? ”

“Something like that. ”

“Ahjussi, I'm sorry. ”

Courtesy.

Choi Jung-hoon gladly nodded.

How right it is to admit your mistakes and apologize right away.

Unlike Choi Jung-hoon's idea, Song Jung-hoon's face rotted.

Where would he have been treated like this?

They must have been teasing him for a while.

“Hey."

Song Jung-soo's voice grew a little higher.

“I don't know what you're thinking, but if you keep insulting me like this, I won't stand for it. This Song Jeong-soo, he's not worth it. ”

“Oh!”

Lee Hyuk opened his eyes wide and looked back at Song Jung-soo.

“I heard.”

“I think so. ”

“What if I touch him? ”

“Well……. ”

Choi Jung-hoon seemed to be thinking about something and replied favorably.

“I don't think anything's going to happen. ”

“Is that so?"

“Yes. Well, what's the big deal if you don't kill it?" You won't be able to arrest Lee Ji-hyuk without going crazy. ”

“But you can say you're crazy and you're going to arrest me. ”

“Then let's go to America. ”

“Ah!”

Lee Hyuk clapped his hands.

Then I looked back at Song Ji-woo with a subtle smile on his face.

“I heard.”

“ ……. ”

Song Jeongsoo was unable to answer.

Even though he thought about it, it didn't seem like sanctions would go in just because Lee Hyuk was hurting himself.

Even if he is the President, he will close his eyes.

Law enforcement will also turn their heads.

The press is the only thing we can trust.

But the problem was that the media agency doesn't seem to be on his side right now either.

‘Bastards. ’

There were dozens of reporters around, and no one was holding the camera. I'm supposed to be a reporter, right? But no one was going to shoot, and he took his hand off the camera one step further.

Journalists also know.

Something's wrong right now.

I touched someone I shouldn't have touched.

“Sunbae.”

One of the reporters got lucky with a major newspaper reporter who said he was the best.

“Why?”

The answer came back, whispering very low. Like I don't want to provoke Lee Hyuk by shouting out loud.

“Shouldn't we be filming? ”

“What are you filming for? ”

“We should write an article. ”

“Excuse me?”

“Isn't it a situation where a competent person is trying to assault the governor of the ruling party? This is going to be huge if we go out there. ”

“That would be huge.”

“Isn't that a specialty? ”

“Specialty.”

“Then why aren't you reporting? ”

The journalist shakes his head.

“Do it if you want. I won't do it. ”

“Why don't you? ”

“Think about it. If you write a story, that's your specialty. This is gonna get messy. I'll have your name out in no time. ”

“Isn't that great? ”

“But what if he goes to another country for that? ”

“Eh……. ”

“At first you say it's cool inside. But if the gate isn't handled properly and things start to get tough economically, people will find the cause. How much tangible and intangible profit is he bringing to our country right now? But what do you think would happen if you thought you were the one who kicked him out? ”

“ ……. ”

“Researchers who plagiarize papers and make the Republic of Korea a laughingstock of the world are still denying it. The only thing sensitive to national security is the president, not the public. But what do you think would happen if we put our hands on a talent that will never be seen again in the history of the world? ”

The one who asked closed his mouth.

I can anticipate the situation.

“Write your own article. I don't want to get killed along the way. And……. ”

You hear a low whisper.

“Well, there's nothing wrong with that. ”

It's true that Song Jung-soo called.

“Well, but…. ”

“Well, I won't stop you if you want to report on your mission as a journalist, but do you think your desk will cover you for taking pictures? Why don't you just post it on your blog? ”

“… and that too. ”

My hand fell off the camera.

“And, well, if this is a great justice implementation, then so be it. Isn't that what reporters do for a living? The elders used to report against the dictatorship, risking their deaths. But he's not an axis of evil, and I'm just looking at him. ”

“In that case.... ”

He lowers his tail. I did a profit and loss calculation in my head, and it was just a benefit to close my eyes.

“ ……. ”

However, in Song Jeong-soo's view, it was going to explode.

You rotten bastards! ’

How long have you been wiping your mouth like that?

Even though it is a media attribute to attach to a stronger person, it is too much.

“I don't think he's on your side. ”

Lee Hyuk smiled and increasingly approached Song Jeong-soo.

“Sh, calm down, listen to me. ”

“Just tell me. Are you deaf because you won't calm down? I can hear you anyway. ”

That's what I hear, too?

“I didn't bring the reporters here because I had a bad feeling. ”

“You're a funny guy. ”

Lee Hyuk said as if he was crazy.

“No, I'm annoyed with the damage, but what does it have to do with bad feelings? Should I be happy if I screw with you in a good way? ”

“… Well, that's not it. But there are extenuating circumstances, right? ”

“Don't worry. I'm a pretty sure calculator. ”

“I'm pretty sure. ”

Choe Jung-hoon's date was always appropriate.

“If you wanted to mess with me, you would have already been meeting with the great king. That's not why I'm going to put my life on hold. ”

Thanks a lot, but I didn't appreciate it at all.

“Calm down for a second……. ”

Lee Hyuk immediately approached and put his hand on Song's shoulder.

“Mister.”

“Yes, yes! ”

“You didn't just come here without thinking. Your politicians didn't just jump without calculating, they were willing to take some risks and gamble. Right?”

Song Jeong-soo nodded without even knowing it.

You seem to have some insight, surprisingly.

“Then you must have considered the risk of failure. So just think of it as a fair wage. Well, that's comforting. ”

“Oh, no, I don't! ”

“Well, what can I do for you? ”

Lee Hyuk sincerely laughed.

Song Jin-su's eyes began to return, thinking there was no room for negotiation. This is not what he wanted.

No, even if he was offended by what he did, he could not be treated like this as the governor of a country's ruling council.

“W-what are you doing?! Do you even know who I am? You think you're gonna get away with touching me? ”

“He says he's fine.”

“... I won't stand for it! It's not too late now! I... ”

“Oh, shut up. ”

Lee Hyuk shakes his hand slightly to open the Black Gate and throws the essence into the gate.

“Aaahhhh!”

“Old man, I like your voice. ”

Lee Hyuk slaughtered Lee while screaming as he watched Song Ji Soo being sucked into the gate.

Lee Hyuk, who closed the gate, turned his head to look at the reporters.

“I'll take care of you guys. ”

No one said anything.

“If you want to cover the story, just ask for an interview and come back. Why are people so annoyed? ”

“Yi, will you accept me if I ask you for an interview? ”

“Is there a reason you're not answering? ”

Reporters exchanged their eyes with each other.

So is she.

Why haven't we made a request so far?

“Instead……. ”

Lee Hyuk reached out his hand and shaped a coin.

“Don't forget to take care of yourself. ”

“… Are you sure? ”

“I'll be going, then. ”

When Lee Hyuk got in the car, Choi Jung-hoon cleared his throat and opened his mouth.

“The press will make me pay for what happened here today. Whatever it takes. ”

You hear the sound of salivation coming from everywhere.

“But……. ”

“Yes?”

“Saw, what happened to President Song Jeong-soo? ”

“ ……. ”

Choi Jung-hoon glanced back and looked at Lee Lee Hyuk, smiling awkwardly and replied.

“I don't know... ”

At that moment, a common thought came to mind in the journalists.

‘Let's not get involved with these lunatics. ’

It was a wise idea.
