There is something politicians often say.

Resignation.

When a problem arises, they say, ‘I will take responsibility and resign,’ but it is very difficult for the person who accepts this to accept it.

-What are you planning to do by resigning? Does my political career end if I resign?

It’s over.

Usually, if someone causes trouble and resigns, their political career is virtually over.

For politicians, when they can no longer engage in politics, it may feel like their real lives are dying, but for ordinary citizens who are not politicians, they may wonder what a big deal political death is.

If so, question here.

If the results are all good, is everything good regardless of the process?

If nothing else, he committed a crazy act of gambling with his national pension. Can we really leave this person alone?

-You must resign!

-No, even if you resign, you are just resigning from your position. Also get a pension.

-Well, then…you must be arrested!

-For what crime?

-The crime of playing with the national pension…! If you cover up any and all sins, everything will work out!

Many people expressed dissatisfaction with the National Pension Service’s behavior, but after learning of the results, everyone cleared their throats and began to hiss.

-If you win it, it’s acknowledged.

-If you had said that you could pay it back, they would have burned you on the spot, but instead, they say you took it from them. Isn’t that enough?

Because I succeeded in gambling.

Thanks to the success of the bet, a huge sum of 50 trillion won was suddenly created.

Of course, most of that money was money that Korean citizens had wagered on Xports Toto, but since more money was secured beyond recovering the principal, the National Pension Service’s investment brought significant results in the end.

-What kind of investment is that! It’s a gamble!

-Don’t you know that if you win money, it’s all invested?

Thanks to the actions of the National Pension Service, whether it is investment, speculation, or gambling, the pension fund’s funds have increased.

And people’s attention also became focused on this, and the blind criticism and harsh criticism toward self-destruction gradually faded away.

-I would like to express my apologies to the people…

-If the gamble had failed, I would have felt impeached!!

President Tae Chae-jin personally came forward and bowed his head in front of the people.

-Does it make sense to play with the people’s tax money?

-Get back! If you have a conscience, step aside! We didn’t pay taxes just to gamble!

-Gambling in the home country that hosted the Talented World Cup! What absurdity! What are you going to do if you even hear that it’s manipulation!!

Everyone cursed the President, and even though it was late at night, the opposition party began to intensively criticize the President and the Pension Service.

But what can I do?

Money was earned, not lost, and the president is not worried about this issue at all.

“These are the words of the President. He said that apologizing this time does not mean your political life will be cut short, and that you should apologize in advance to avoid problems later.”

After leaving the pension and briefly coming to Busan, I briefly contacted King Taejo, who was recuperating in Busan, and heard about the president’s situation.

“Goblin asked me to say thank you to my older brother.”

[I don’t think it’s something that deserves a thank you. The image of gambling with citizens’ tax money is just that.]

“Instead, didn’t you gain trust and confidence that you had a great pioneering plan in a competition between talented people?”

[I bet that my country’s hero would lose.]

“Haha….”

Taejo scratched his cheek and smiled humbly.

“But thanks to that, aren’t we losers receiving less criticism now? Even if you feel angry for a moment when you lose the game, the image of gambling with tax money itself is quite damaging.”

The president and the head of the National Pension Service have made a treasonous bet against the country, and criticism is being expressed in many ways.

“Viewed objectively, this is political suicide. This is a very terrible act that no politician would commit.”

[I’m not particularly interested in politics, but I understand that if things continue this way, the president will be in a difficult situation in many ways. Even if it is an act to divert attention.]

I felt a little sorry.

It is said that no matter what he does, he gets criticized, and although the parties involved accepted the deal, it is still bad news for the president that his life as a politician has been cut by a few years.

Still, it is good in that it prevents S-class heroes from turning into devils, but it is quite ambiguous to say that it is an achievement that others will clap and praise.

[Is there no other way than to raise the falling approval rating with populism such as reducing taxes or not having to pay pension for a few months?]

“You suggested that all 50 trillion won earned should be used for the people? I think that is good for primary skin care.”

Complaints can be put to rest if you get a review for something else.

“Still, if possible, there is a good countermeasure to overcome the current situation…”

[there is.]

I placed my hands horizontally and raised the lower hand above the other.

[Issue is covered as an issue. Investment Trust’s defeat was covered up with the National Pension’s gambling, so if we cover it up with something else, people’s attention will no longer return to Investment Trust.]

“…What issue are you trying to create? Am I a goblin? Doming out?”

[no. It’s not a dooming-out, but a very terrible thing that happens somewhere else will be circulated as a rumor.]

Now is the perfect time.

[No matter how determined the process was, it is quite unpleasant to see a small country raising its arrogance and putting pressure on its shoulders while beating a large country.]

“Are you talking about Western Joseon?”

[okay. Thanks to Cheonma’s win, they advanced to the semifinals with only one Tusin win, but they are acting like they won it all, a very unpleasant West Joseon.]

I mainly checked the Korean community, but of course there were a lot of West Koreans who seemed to have used translators to enter places that were heavily influenced by West Joseon.

Not only did they criticize the defeated Tushin, but they also ridiculed those who lost money after betting against Tushin.

Above all, it was absurd that we were talking as if we were talking about how to beat Gwangyukgong even though the opponent for the next match, Doblin, was there.

[Taejo. The National Intelligence Service probably has a lot of data on Western Joseon, right?]

“Of course. However, the contents of that information should not be disclosed carelessly…”

[What I’m curious about is whether the National Intelligence Service has any information I know. this.]

I took out the small capsule pills I had prepared in advance.

[Do you have any information about this? This is not real, but just a model sample.]

“……?”

[I guess there isn’t one. but. It’s natural that you usually don’t know.]

This is very terrible and cruel information that I learned based on original knowledge.

[Do you want to know? Secrets of the world. The mystery of the human body and its terrible feast unfolding inland, unknown to anyone.]

“…To what extent can anger rise to suppress the defeat of investment trusts and the gambling of the national pension?”

[Due to the terrible behavior of a vicious organization that only pursues efficiency, it has committed an act that will incur public indignation among all of humanity. It’s still heartbreaking though. Finally, the time has come.]

Jerk, jerk.

Footsteps are heard from inside the alley.

King Taejo’s eyes widen in surprise at the sight of a woman who deliberately pretends to be popular, and the woman who walks out of the darkness also widens her eyes when she sees Taejo and me together.

“What happened…?”

[This side also has its own circumstances. Shall we go inside and talk about the details?]

“…….”

in front of us.

The place was an alley in Busan, a ‘karaoke room’ with a flashing neon sign.

* * *

After entering the karaoke room, play a random song and set it up as if you were singing inside.

[Cheonma. Did you get away with it?]

“…maybe.”

[is it. I will continue to look for you in my temporary accommodation. He is the people’s hero.]

“…….”

Cheonma is now the hero of the continent.

[If he had just made it to the semifinals, he would have become someone people look up to, and he even beat Tushin. Now, the people of Western Joseon, I will pray not to the martial god Guan Yu, but to the Heavenly Demon Yi Ye-ryeong.]

“Are you being sarcastic?”

[no. This is a serious story. I’m just speaking on behalf of the people who really say those things.]

While Tushin became a traitor to the Peninsula, Cheonma receives support and love from the entire continent even though he has already betrayed the Peninsula and sides with the continent.

[Some say that he will easily win against Doblin and then beat Gwangikkong to win the championship.]

“Stop using gold lacquer. I have something to urgently check. Isn’t that right?”

[…but. Yes, the time has come to keep that promise.]

It seemed a little long.

[I can’t believe the seeds sown during the Managold incident in Sinuiju are bearing fruit only now. So, did you succeed in seeing for yourself the darkness of Western Joseon that I asked you to check?]

“…Okay.”

The Cheonma stood up for a moment and put his hands into his pants.

“I’ll show you.”

[for a moment. Where are you putting your hands now….]

“I kept it in the safest place. USB.”

…

…suddenly…

…

“This is a USB that contains the true nature of West Joseon.”

“…What’s in it?”

[You have to hear that from the mouth of the Heavenly Demon, right? The person who will expose this is none other than Cheonma.]

“……There was a factory.”

The Heavenly Demon pushed the USB in front of me with a face full of disgust.

“Human factory.”
