Chapter 474
“Haha! I finally got it!”
“Excuse me, Mr Huntsman. It isn’t a good thing to be too close to Hunter Choi Yeonseung right now.”
One of his subordinates approached and whispered in Huntsman’s ear.
Choi Yeonseung’s popularity was now soaring into the sky.
‘There has never been a case where a foreigner ranks first in the approval ratings as a presidential candidate and it will never happen again in the future.’
Naturally, the other candidates were now thinking about what to do with Choi Yeonseung. It was the same with Huntsman’s camp.
-If we can’t be with Choi Yeonseung, we have to somehow keep him in check!
Choi Yeonseung had a pretty close relationship with Huntsman’s rival, Governor Kenny.
Huntsman, who had to defeat Governor Kenny to become the candidate, had to somehow undermine Choi Yeonseung’s popularity.
...He wasn’t sure how it was possible given the current situation, but Huntsman had to at least avoid getting an autograph from the other person.
“Why?”
“Huh? Didn’t I explain it to you last time?”
“Is that so? I don’t remember. Say it again. Why?”
“I told you! In the current situation, Hunter Choi Yeonseung will politically support Governor Kenny...”
“Are you raising your voice to me?”
Huntsman looked at his subordinate with disbelief.
How dare he shout at Huntsman just now? In addition, it was just a staff member?
He dared to raise his voice to the best entrepreneur and now presidential candidate in the United States?
“N-No.”:
“No what? You raised your voice to me!”
“I’m sorry. I will explain again...”
“I don’t need it. Get out of here now!”
“...”
The subordinate’s mouth twitched a few times in disbelief. Then he turned around and walked out of the hall.
Choi Yeonseung’s hearing had developed to the extreme, so he could hear the subordinate muttering while leaving, ‘This bastard, die.’
‘He is a really crazy guy.’
“Ah. Excuse me. Some strange guy took up my time. Sometimes when you are too kind, subordinates will crawl up like this.”
“It is really mysterious. I don’t know how people are so ungrateful,” Choi Yeonseung said.
Dealing with a lunatic was easier than expected.
He just had to do it like he did against the demons when he was running the inn in the Abyss.
Regardless of what the other party said, he just had to give three answers like, ‘I see,’ ‘That’s amazing’ and ‘It is interesting’ and nod. Then the other party would be satisfied.
‘It worked out. I don’t think it is a bad idea to take this opportunity to feel out this person.’
-You have really become a politician.
The goddess of sloth said in amazement at Choi Yeonseung’s changed appearance.
She didn’t know if he originally had this talent or if the circumstances changed him, but Choi Yeonseung was surprisingly talented in politics.
‘He originally wasn’t a constellation, but he is doing a good job fulfilling the responsibilities of a constellation.’
She was looking forward to what else he would show in the future.
“There has been a lot of talk that I am supporting Governor Kenny, but that is all nonsense. I don’t support Governor Kenny.”
“As expected! We can’t trust the media. They are all spreading fake news!”
“No, I didn’t mean that... Forget it.”
Choi Yeonseung tried to clear the misunderstanding but failed. It was because this wasn’t the point.
“I think someone better than Governor Kenny should be president.”
Huntsman’ eyes lit up at Choi Yeonseung’s words.
Why was Choi Yeonseung saying this now?
A strong leader who could get through this time of crisis and chaos!
It was an allusion to Huntsman.
“As expected... You have good eyes. I, Huntsman, am the only person who can make the United States strong again. I am also a real American like Hunter Choi Yeonseung... No, it is reassuring to have a real hunter supporting me.”
‘Does this guy want me to be an American?’
Choi Yeonseung couldn’t believe it.
No matter how ignorant, how could a presidential candidate possibly make this mistake?
“I also read some classic military books from South Korea. Sun Tzu’s military tactics. The Three Kingdoms.”
“I-I see.”
Even if all the sentences were wrong, he couldn’t point it out. Choi Yeonseung just listened.
“Looking at the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bai obtained Lu Bu and unified the world. Isn’t that similar to the current situation? Choi Yeonseung. You are Lu Bu!”
-Oh. Lu Bu must’ve been an outstanding warrior on Earth.
-Don’t listen to him. He is completely wrong.
-??
“...I’m not sure yet. I’ve never seen what you are capable of.”
“Then continue to look!”
Huntsman laughed confidently. Choi Yeonseung took the opportunity to ask, “Do you have any plans?”
“Of course! As you will soon find out, Isabella Meyer has joined my camp.”
“!”
Isabella Meyer.
It was the name of an American A-grade hunter that even Choi Yeonseung knew.
Due to the nature of hunters, whose desire to save their own lives increased as their rank went up, there were very few A-grade hunters who were active.
Such active hunters usually had their reasons.
Pretending that a constellation was a human and trying to gather people’s faith.
Or they were so wasteful that it wasn’t enough no matter how much money they earned.
Or fanatical patriotism.
Isabella Meyer was the last case.
Her nickname was Captain America.
‘I remember seeing her during the Abyss raid last time.’
He remembered her saying to fight to the end even though he told her to retreat.
The constellations’ fanatics were difficult to deal with, but she was just as hard to deal with.
However, contrary to Choi Yeonseung’s expectations, Isabella Meyer was popular.
First of all, just being an active A-grade hunter gave her a high score.
Moreover, she came from a gorgeous background.
She came from a huge political family and all her other siblings were active as politicians.
On top of that, she always emphasized patriotism and shouted about a great country. It was natural for her to be loved by those who were proud of the United States.
‘No. By the way, how did she join this person?’
Choi Yeonseung felt it didn’t make sense.
It was usually hard to get the support of an A-grade hunter.
There was almost nothing to regret after becoming an A-grade hunter.
What was going on?
‘Did they connect to each other because they are both crazy?’
“Can I ask why she joined you?”
“She was deeply impressed by my commitment.”
“Oh... I want to hear it too. Can you tell me?”
“There is nothing difficult about it. It is a pledge to attack the Abyss.”
“...Isn’t everyone doing that?”
Before becoming president, the presidential candidate of not just the United States, but all around the world, would make pledges such as, ‘I will work hard to capture the Abyss.’
Of course, it used to be space. Now it was changed to the Abyss. The actual results weren’t significant.
“Haha. I am different. I am going to force all the hunters in the US to capture the Abyss. No matter the cost!”
“...”
Choi Yeonseung was stunned.
‘Isn’t he a spy from China?’
It was an ignorant method that the Chinese government would choose.
Targeting the Abyss wasn’t just about having a lot of numbers.
They had to think of conquering the Abyss as conquering a very rare and capricious dungeon.
A dungeon couldn’t be cleared unless they knew how to attack.
Pushing hunters like crazy would only increase the number of deaths exponentially and they wouldn’t be able to conquer it.
The one who made this suggestion and the hunter who accepted it...
‘Suddenly, I miss South Korea.’
Choi Yeonseung suddenly missed the politicians of South Korea.
When he was in South Korea, he resented them and said, ‘Why are you holding me back so much?’ Now that he left his hometown and came far away, he thought, ‘At that level, they are fairies.’
“It is a secret, but I plan on leaving for Arizona soon with Hunter Isabella Meyer.”
What Choi Yeonseung showed in Texas deeply impressed all the politicians of the United States.
Ah, it would be great to campaign like this!
Huntsman was naturally one of those people.
‘Crazy people only learn weird things.’
“Hunter Isabella Meyer is enough to wipe them all out! Haha.”
“I see. It looks like you can do well.”
Choi Yeonseung responded roughly while thinking to himself.
‘I have to go first.’
Huntsman would be frustrated, but what could he do?
Originally, the person who did this type of thing first would be the person in charge.
***
“Isabella Meyer!”
“No way, how could it be Isabella Meyer?”
It was as Huntsman said. Isabella Meyer appeared late.
Everyone in the room was stunned by the appearance of the A-grade hunter.
Could it be that she was here to support someone?
“Hahaha! Please welcome her with a round of applause. Hunter Isabella Meyer is here!”
Huntsman walked around while laughing excitedly.
At this sight, everyone present realized why Isabella Meyer had come.
She was here to support Huntsman!
‘This is nonsense! That clown?!’
‘How much money did he pay?!’
‘Could it really be Huntsman’s time?’
Some politicians were shocked and some noticed the unusual flow.
After today’s event, the fact that Isabella Meyer supported Huntsman would be in the media.
Huntsman was a man who used all types of foul language and had little political experience, but that didn’t matter.
Once he had a buzz like this, no one could stop his momentum.
The one who received the biggest shock was Governor Kenny.
Despite being called the hero of Texas, Governor Kenny was pushed to second place by Huntsman. Now he looked like the sky had collapsed after seeing Isabella’s appearance.
He had been in politics for a long time, so his intuition was sending him signals.
This...
It was really dangerous!
Tak.
Choi Yeonseung placed his hand on Governor Kenny’s shoulder.
“It is a bit too much to do this now but... You haven’t forgotten your promise of support if you are eliminated, have you?”
“...!!!”
Governor Kenny’s face was completely ashen.
He never imagined that he would fail.
“Not yet, not yet! Don’t worry. It is a long race. It is just getting started!”
“Yes. Have strength.”
Choi Yeonseung nodded and walked away.
He had heard enough, so he was going to leave the party and head to Arizona right away.
-What a great politician you have become...!
The goddess of sloth was even more impressed.
He said something on the surface only to hit the other party in the back of the head. Wasn’t this what politics was all about?
Governor Kenny was unaware that Choi Yeonseung had disappeared and headed toward Huntsman.
He felt bitter, but since they were from the same party, he had to show some courtesy at an event like this.
‘Damn bastards.’
Already, some politicians were seen heaping praise on Huntsman. It was obvious whose side they were standing on.
“I greet Mr Huntsman. Thank you for coming all this way.”
“Ah. It isn’t a big deal. A person from the same party went through such great hardships and managed to overcome it, so I should come to find you.”
Huntsman nodded with pride.
What was surprising was the humility that Huntsman previously showed in front of Choi Yeonseung.
Originally, he should be like this.
“Thank you once again...”
“Of course, if it was me, I would’ve cleaned it up before it became a mess. I feel sorry for the people there.”
“...What did you say?”
“Ah. Never mind. It isn’t that you did something wrong. It is that I could’ve done better. Wait. No. Maybe it is your fault that you aren’t as competent as me?”
“Mr Huntsman! Aren’t you saying too much?!”
“You are joking too much!”
Despite the rude remarks, the people around them laughed and tried to pass over this matter.
It was obvious that they didn’t want to offend Huntsman.
‘...These guys!’
Governor Kenny inwardly made an oath.
If, and this was only if...
If he was knocked out of the race by Huntsman, he would use all of his remaining political life to support Choi Yeonseung!
