Chapter 2418 – 2418. Eternal Eden

The fact that I can give youth spread throughout the world. An incredible ability that not only those in power but also ordinary people covet. Public opinion quickly swung in my favor. Contacts started coming from all over the world. Of course, I ended up just talking briefly.

The eyes of the world beyond Korea are on me. Jung Woo-hyun will not be able to wage a war of public opinion against me.

‘We promised to give youth to the officers who participated in the coup. ‘It’s difficult to keep a secret when there are a lot of people who know.’

So, I calmly unlocked my abilities. Of course, it is a secret that a dead person can be revived.

‘Just being able to give you youth is an incredible power.’

Can you protect that power?

If the coup is successful, Korea will be in my hands. Korea’s military power ranks in the top 10. If only I could get my hands on Korea… You won’t have to worry too much about safety.

What you need to watch out for is assassination or kidnapping. No, practically, you just have to be careful about kidnapping. Even if I am assassinated, I have recovery and will come back to life.

Burr.

The smartphone vibrates. When I looked at the screen, it was Army Chief of Staff Jin Soo-hak.

“I received it.”

-Yes. His Holiness. Woohyun Jeong called the 30th Division. He concluded that Seongak Elementary School was an illegal-armed organization, and after surrounding Seongak Elementary School, he ordered the capture of players, including His Holiness. In particular, they told us to capture His Holiness alive no matter what. The operation execution time is midnight.

“Haha. Looks like you got a lot of shit. Seeing as they are telling me to capture them alive, it looks like they are coveting my skills.”

Even if I were defeated by Jung Woo-hyun, I had no intention of using my abilities for Jung Woo-hyun.

-His Holiness. We can’t carry out a coup right now. Preparations are still insufficient. Above all, the military’s attention is currently focused on Seoul and His Holiness. As soon as there is a coup, they will come running.

“Okay. I also have a trump card. The army won’t be able to move today. The coup proceeds as planned.”

I hung up the phone and headed to the lab. I contacted Kim Jae-ji in North Korea using a satellite phone. Jaeji Kim burst into laughter when he received my call.

Hehe. Good to see. Something interesting happened in South Korea.

“Jaeji Kim. It’s time to repay that debt.”

-Youth. It’s a treasure that everyone wants. Shouldn’t we meet sometime?

Jaeji Kim’s tone of voice has become much more polite than the last time I saw him. The position was different between before and now.

“If you want to make a new deal, shouldn’t you first pay off your debt?”

-Okay. Tell me what you want.

“You know what you’re good at. Military provocation. “I wish I could cool that down for once.”

-You mean to break the truce?

“I only wanted military provocation. “If the truce breaks, that side will suffer greater losses, right?”

-Hehe. Good. I will commit a very big crime. I look forward to the day we meet again.

Jaeji Kim hung up, openly showing his greed.

‘The U.S. President also has debt. Because I was the one who cured my son from Lou Gehrig’s disease.’

This alone is not enough to ask the US President to launch a military provocation. In the first place, he is not a dictator, so it is impossible. Because there’s no way other people will stay still.

Instead, it would be entirely possible for the U.S. President to criticize the Korean president.

‘Korea is pretending not to be like that, but it is watching the United States. But this time, the US President is criticizing him? It’s like driving a wedge.’

Jung Woo-hyun’s downfall is almost certain.

‘If I had come down after completing my term instead of doing something useless, this wouldn’t have happened. Haha. You stupid bastard. This is the price you pay for messing with me.’

3 hours before the operation to surround Seongak Elementary School and capture Seong Yu-jin.

Woohyun Jeong received a call from Army Chief of Staff Jin Soo-hak.

-Dismissal. Operation execution is impossible.

“… Chief of Staff. What on earth does that mean? The order must have already been issued? I will take responsibility. Execute the operation. Or are you refusing my orders?”

-Dismissal. North Korea’s military has begun to move. Three missiles have already landed in the East Sea. North Korean tanks appeared in the border area. There is currently a standoff. Are operations against its own people important now that North Korea’s military provocations continue?

Jung Woo-hyun’s expression became distorted.

Truce through talks with North Korea. It was the moment when Jung Woo-hyun’s greatest achievement was shattered.

‘Jaeji Kim! This damn pig… !’

Can’t we just ignore North Korea’s provocations? These are not peaceful times. There is a high possibility that it will not simply end up as a provocation. We were on the brink of war before we actually had a meeting. Several small-scale battles also occurred.

-Dismissal. The officers, including myself, wonder whether it was necessary to capture Seong Yu-jin. He is a Korean citizen, a member of the National Assembly, and an awakened person in the Republic of Korea. Don’t you know Seong Yu-jin’s social reputation? He has never done anything harmful to Korea.

“Chief of Staff Jin Su-hak! Are you doubting my intentions now?!”

-Dismissal. Be cool. Everyone knows that Seong Yu-jin has great abilities. But he is not the enemy. Among military service members, there are many who received treatment from Seong Yu-jin. I’m not sure what the benefit of this operation is. Your Excellency, what will you do if you capture him alive?

“… He will work for Korea. Shouldn’t he treat the injured soldiers?”

-You can just ask Seong Yu-jin. There is no need to detain him. In fact, he is doing volunteer work using his abilities. This operation will only lower military morale. And Seong Yu-jin is a member of the National Assembly of this country.

Jung Woo-hyun bit his lip.

Although he is president, he does not yet have full control of the military. So, doesn’t the Chief of Staff climb on him?

I wonder if there is a reason. He didn’t even have that.

“… I understand. The operation is cancelled. The response to North Korea’s military provocations… Just be on guard for now. “If this side also responds with provocation, a real war could break out.”

-Okay.

Jin Su-hak has cut off contact.

Jung Woo-hyun’s ordeal is not over. The chief secretary knocked on the office door and shouted.

“Dismissal! Now the President of the United States, Michael, has officially denounced His Excellency! Article! Check out the article!”

“What?!”

US President Michael criticized Jung Woo-hyun through his personal SNS. He even took a video and uploaded it. Although he said it was just his personal opinion… He is the President of the United States. No one can deny that.

-I heard something that happened in Korea recently. The South Korean president is a dictator who conducted human experiments. I am concerned about the birth of a new dictator…

Jung Woo-hyun blushed and pounded the desk with his fist.

“Damn it! Nothing works!”

Sweat trickles down from Jung Woo-hyun’s forehead. Nothing went according to his plan. Moreover, his approval rating has plummeted. Although the exact approval rating has not yet been calculated, it was clear that it would fall below 30%.

He took three pills of Zenod from the vial and popped them into his mouth. Wow. When you chew a pill, your body becomes energized.

‘If we stay like this, we will only fall. Then it would be better… He gets Seong Yu-jin. All you have to do is to get your hands on youth and wield it.’

After thinking about it, he contacted the Japanese Prime Minister.

“Prime Minister. I need your help. Please support units that can move covertly. Cost? I will give you youth.”

The Prime Minister accepted the deal without thinking twice. That’s how great youth is.

Seongak Elementary School was peaceful today as well.

Food crisis at Seongak Elementary School? There is no such thing. My status has already changed. Even if you stay still, food will come to you.

“Hello, this is Jo Yun-seong, a director at KS. He came here after hearing that there was a shortage of food. We at KS will provide 50 tons of rice. Oh, the Chairman really wants to meet you at least once.”

K.S. It is a large company in Korea. Ranked 3rd in the business world. For reference, Ilwoo Group ranks 7th.

“Haha. Good thing I needed food. I also want to meet the president of KS, but… “My schedule is full.”

Support comes not only from large corporations, but also from small and medium-sized businesses and civic groups. Everyone is clamoring to meet me once.

I met with CEOs of large companies and famous politicians and used my abilities. I intentionally made myself about 20 years younger. I let them know that I was willing to give them my abilities. As they became younger, they offered various items.

“I heard that you like supercars. Here’s my supercar… “I’ll give you one as a gift.”

“Haha. Representative Seong Yu-jin. I have friends… Oh, not the CEOs of large corporations. But these are important talents who lead the Republic of Korea. Who are you? A person whose job is to wield a sword. Of course, it’s not a real sword.”

“I’m from the U.S. Embassy. We brought 70 tons of frozen beef because the food situation was poor. It’s a gift. Please don’t feel pressured and accept it.”

Gifts abound.

Every day felt like a birthday and Christmas. I received all their heartfelt gifts without hesitation.

Those in power met me easily, but not ordinary people. The means by which they could meet Me and receive grace were limited. There were quite a few people who came to visit, but they could not cross the threshold of Seongak Elementary School.

‘What about my family? They say they’ll do anything if it gives me youth, but I don’t really need it.’

Of course, pretty girls were accepted.

Still, this does not mean that there are no means for the public to receive the grace of recovery.

A representative example is Seongjin Bridge. Every time you enter Seongjingyo and achieve results, the grace decreases. In response, numerous people knocked on the door of Seongjin Bridge. Seongjingyo gradually began to operate in Yangji.

There was no media that openly criticized Seongjingyo.

‘How can you criticize Seongjingyo when you have to look good to me? ‘Kkeuk.’

I really liked the situation.

Kwaaaaang!

An explosion rang out. As I was sleeping with Na Chaeyoung in my arms, I opened my eyes. The same goes for Na Chaeyoung. She turned on her tablet, which she had left next to her bed. Communication continued from the SS.

“It’s a surprise attack! People armed with guns and bombs are attacking us at all costs. We’re trying to subdue it, but it’s not easy! The enemy’s physical capabilities exceed ours! It looks like he is a person with abilities or has taken certain drugs! We will also take Bister II!”

Bang bang! Kwa-bang!

Gunshots and explosions continue to sound. Automatic turrets and drones installed in the main building move and attack enemies. Control is the responsibility of the combat AI. Unlike Na Chae-young, who had a serious face, I smiled quietly. It is obvious who did it.

‘Jung Woo-hyun. Is this your last struggle? Kidnapping me somehow?’

Well, I understand. It would be unfair to give up everything like this. Even if he gives up, Jung Woo-hyun’s future has already been decided.

The air trembles behind me. A transparent arm is aiming for my neck. I lowered my head, dodged lightly, turned my body, swung my cutlassfish, and cut down the guy behind me.

I turned around and looked at the guy whose upper and lower body were separated. The reality was revealed. It appears that he had the ability to make his body invisible.

“How did know… ?”

It was Japanese, not Korean.

How did you know? From the moment I woke up, I was using electromagnetic waves. I knew from the beginning that he was sneakily approaching me.

“Do I have to explain that one by one?

I swung my knife and cut off the guy’s head.

As I was passing the corpse, I discovered that his body was different from that of an ordinary person.
