D.I.O

Chapter 247

/[Hes a true warrior of justice. He saved all of our schools students.]

[Thank you, Arthur!]

[Even though he must have felt awful about his terminally ill mother, he always smiled and worked hard.]

[What a wonderful young man.]/

Recently, several television broadcasting stations focused on how filial Seyoung was and how hard he had worked for his mother, who had suffered from terminal leukemia.

There was also a television documentary, which was divided into three parts, juxtaposing the image of an overjoyed and tearful Seyoung after seeing his mother recover from her illness and Seyoungs response when he saw yakuza members, who were connected to a far-right party in Japan, murder his mother. Through this scene, the documentary successfully depicted Seyoungs twisted fate with a sense of humanity and human drama.

/[Love Love humans, son. They are small and weak, and they make mistakes... but you shouldnt forget that you are human, too.]

[Dont!!!] /

On Ripple and all sorts of social media sites, fierce discussions and arguments continued every day.

/-The Knight of Light fought for everyone and saved countless lives! He even went to Japan because of Japans earnest request, so why should I take the side of the unscrupulous people who took his mother hostage and even went as far as to kill her?

- But the value of life is equal. Killing thousands of people for the price of one life doesnt make any sense.

- Ah, the commenter above is such a troll, lol. Why are you trying to sound like a good person? Why shouldnt he massacre whoever he wants? His mother is dead, but he should calmly consider the value of other peoples lives? What a troll. I would have done the same if I had the strength to do so. You must truly be a saint, lol. I guess your mom needs to die under the hands of the yakuza before you stop spewing saintly bullshit, lol./

News sites and newspapers ran updated information on Seyoungs developments on a daily basis. The other news articles they ran were regarding the people that Seyoung had killed.

Of course, it was not at all about their gruesome deaths or the grief of their bereaved families.

/[Exclusive Report]

The truth about the extreme right in Japan!

The relationship between the far right and the Yakuza Shocking!

The traitors who sold Seyoungs mother to Japan Oops!/

The news sites and newspapers reported on the shady underworld dealings of the Japanese far-right, what they publicly said and did, and the identities of the so-called pro-Japanese groups with whom they had a close relationship.

It was an obvious media play to change the current narrative, and the effect was amazingly effective.

/- Im happy that theyre being killed!

- Arthur could have been a Knight of Light for humankind, but he became a Knight of Vengeance because of those good-for-nothing trash-like human beings!/

The whole country was up in arms as its people rallied on Seyoungs side. Condemnation of Japan reached its peak in Korea, and public opinion sympathized with Seyoung and his unfortunate plight. With so many broadcast programs and newspaper reports covering Seyoung, the general population felt as though Seyoung was one of their family members, and his fanbase grew so large that even world superstars could not dare catch up to his popularity. Retribution and punishment on those who sent his mother to Japan, amendments to the Korean legislation, and execution of the [Act on Foreign Trade Prevention] towards Japan were carried out swiftly amidst the public response and outcry.

Of course, there were always bound to be people who didnt agree with the majority.

People with similar tendencies and ideologies, like human rights groups, showed strong hatred toward Seyoung and Koreas support for him as public outcry and punishments progressed.

However, there was nothing this small group could do because they were only a very small minority compared to the rest of the nation.

In truth, if anyone expressed such an opinion or even seemed like they were on the opposing side, they would be beaten back by the overwhelming public opinion in support of Seyoung.

In addition, Japan continued to accuse Seyoung of being a mass murderer and sought help from various countries to seek retribution, but in the end, they did not receive any help.

This was because international relations were driven by the logic of power, not recognition.

From the moment Japan lost to a single individual, they had entered a downward spiral.

Merlin No, Yoon Yongno Whats his reaction to all this? Rep. Kim Hyun-Dong asked.

Unknown. It remains to be seen. He is not responding to any of the official policies or accepting any media requests. He often manifests and deals with aliens, but only when he feels like it. And Rep. Kims aide replied.

And?

When Lieutenant General Shin Hyeon-ho charged into Yongnos residence to force Yongno to meet with him, eyewitness accounts and testimonies stated that someone used special abilities without manifestation.

Rep. Kim Hyun-Dong, who was busy looking over several documents while listening to his aide, suddenly lifted his head with a stern expression on his face. What does that Could it be that Yoon Yongno has reached Level 20?"

Ah, we dont know for certain. It was said that the individual who used special abilities wasnt Yoon Yongno himself but his bodyguard.

A third party not even a member of the Heaven above the Heavens?

According to eyewitness accounts, the person in question is Kwan Youngmin. However, his personal details could not be verified. He doesnt have a social security number, and even though hes been on the air, no one has come forth and stated that they know him. His background is as clean as someone who just plopped down from the sky, so he must be a mixed-blood child or a member of the underworld from China or Japan.

Ugh

After hearing his aides words, Rep. Kim Hyun-Dong touched his forehead as if his head hurt.

Other countries envied the fact that two out of the three Heaven above the Heavens members were in Korea, but to politicians like him, a talented person with a rebellious temperament like Yongno put him in a rather uncomfortable position.

Seyoung, who was popularly called the Knight of Light by the public, had saved others without sparing himself. Now, even though his disposition had completely changed, Seyoung was still willing to work with the Korean government and be on [the same side]. On the other hand, no matter what the Korean government did, Yongno wasnt willing to work with politicians like Kim Hyun-Dong, or anyone else for that matter.

Since Yongno was a thoroughly individualistic person who mainly acted alone, it wouldnt be strange if Yongno defected to another country at any moment.

This guy and that guy Ugh, theyre both giving me a headache. Even if I levy political power, theres no way to !!

Rep. Kim Hyun-dong, who had been roughly turning over the papers in his hands, stiffened.

It was wartime, so Rep. Kim Hyun-Dong always had extensive security detail with him. However, Seyoung could reach him without any difficulty at any time.

Even now, in the brief moment when Kim Hyun-Dong blinked his eyes, Seyoung had suddenly appeared in front of him.

You did a lot better than I thought. Although, you did go a little overboard in recreating my public image, which I wasnt expecting.

Passing bills and laws requires public opinion to be on ones side, so it was inevitable. Besides, its not bad for you if your image improves, right?

Though Rep. Kim Hyun-Dong was speaking with someone who was very much his junior, Rep. Kim made sure to maintain an honorific tone of speaking.

It wasnt simply because of politeness It was because the [presence] that Seyoung was emanating constantly gave Rep. Kim Hyun-Dong a sense of tension like he was standing on the edge of a cliff.

The tension suppressed the mind. Instead of getting used to it, the more Rep. Kim Hyun-Dong felt it, the more difficult it became for him to bear.

Well, not bad. The direction is a bit different from what I expected, but in the end, you got what I was aiming for, Seyoung muttered lazily.

Nevertheless his eyes seemed to be burning fiercely. Though Seyoung was clearly looking at Rep. Kim, Seyoung, he seemed to be focused on something else.

Uh, anyway, I kept my side of the agreement. When are you planning to move and deal with the aliens?

Oh, I will keep my side of the agreement, of course. Actually, Ive already completed my side of the agreement.

Youve already made good on your side of the agreement?

Have there been any attacks since this morning?

! Rep. Kim Hyun-Dong paused after hearing Seyoungs words.

When he thought back, he couldnt recall receiving any news of any recent alien attacks, which he had been receiving on a daily basis.

But there were times in the past when a day would go by without an alien attack. In fact, there were times when the aliens took a break for an entire week.

But this time is different. At the very least, there wont be any space teleportation of aliens to this area anymore. Of course it must be hard to believe what Im saying, right?

As Seyoung said this, he handed over a USB storage device to Rep. Kim Hyun-Dong.

Rep. Kim Hyun-Dong accepted it, even though he had a puzzled expression on his face.

This?

I filmed myself destroying the aliens Dimension Terminal. If you broadcast it, you can convince everyone. No, to be more precise, its so that theres no misunderstanding Seyoung said.

Smile.

With a wry smile on his face, he continued, Send that entire file everywhere, nationwide. Give it out to whoever requests it, even other countries. Also, upload it onto YouTube.

But why? Rep. Kim Hyun-Dong couldnt understand what Seyoung was getting at.

A video file For what purpose was Seyoung, who had already attained transcendent powers, being so kind and helpful? If he were a kid who just wanted attention, Rep. Kim Hyun-Dong would better understand Seyoungs motive. As a politician, Rep. Kim Hyun-Dong had dealt with many people over the course of his life, so he knew that Seyoung wasnt the kind of person who sought or wanted attention.

What other purpose is there? His revenge is over

All the people and powers related to the death of Seyoungs mother had already been dealt with or killed.

From the conspiring leaders and politicians of far-right groups to those who actually carried out the act, every last person had been either killed or punished accordingly under Seyoungs heavy hand.

Seyoung had handled everything meticulously, so much so that Rep. Kim Hyun-Dong thought that Seyoung had left no stone unturned. So where did Seyoung find the time to destroy a Dimensional Terminal? And why was he being so helpful?

Perhaps is he aiming for power?

Rep. Kim Hyun-Dong shook his head when that fleeting thought popped into his mind.

Seyoung already possessed power strong enough to subdue an entire country alone, and he had already been a worldwide superstar since his days as the Knight of Light.

If Seyoung were to ever apply for asylum abroad, the host countrys representative would jump out barefoot to welcome and greet him, even if it was the president of the United States. If Seyoung could be granted asylum and accepted as a US citizen, the sitting president would be reelected by a landslide even if they did a terrible job of running for reelection.

Hence, it begged the question What was Seyoungs motive?
