Chapter 1768 – 1768. Vampire Detective
I rode the Double Dragon down to Busan.
There was no time to be bored. Several cities had been nuked, and the leaders of various countries were going crazy, berating me.
“Sung Yu-jin!!! You nuked Kyoto?! Are you even human?!”
“Shut up, you Jap. If you don’t shut your trap, I’ll nuke Tokyo too. You should be grateful I didn’t nuke Tokyo on purpose… How dare you talk back to me?”
“……”
The Japanese president looked like he had a lot to say. But when I shook the detonator in my hand, he shut his mouth tight. He knew that if he argued with me here, Tokyo would be blown away.
“You better behave yourself.”
He tried to say something, but in the end, he didn’t open his mouth. He just spoke with his eyes. That he wouldn’t let this go.
Click.
As soon as the communication with Japan was cut off, a call came from China.
It was a face I had never seen before. It wasn’t the Chinese president I knew. It was a guy who looked like Mao Zedong. His face was greasy, and his belly stuck out.
“Big brother! Big brother! Big big brother!”
He was spouting some unknown Chinese.
It was Chinese that even I, with my Chinese language patch, didn’t know. There was no help for it. The Chinese language in this world had changed over time. It was New Chinese.
“What is he saying?”
Fortunately, Secretary Kim was a super-capable secretary who had mastered New Chinese.
“He says it’s an honor to meet the Chairman.”
“Big brother~~! Big big big brotherrrrr!”
“He says that President Pong of Beijing was killed in the nuclear blast and that he has become the new representative of China.”
“Big brother! Big brother! Big brother! Big brother!”
“He says that China will never revolt again and will trust and follow the Chairman.”
“I see. But I can’t easily trust guys who have already rebelled against me. I’ll keep an eye on them.”
“Big brother!”
“He says he understands.”
The connection with the Chinese president was cut off.
“He’s surprisingly good at understanding Korean.”
“It seems a translator is translating in real-time where the camera can’t see.”
“But why doesn’t he use a translator when he speaks?”
“It’s Chinese pride. He’s bowing to the Chairman now… but if he thinks the Chairman is easy, he’ll revolt without hesitation. Chairman, personal communication requests are flooding in from other countries.”
“Is the US among them?”
“Yes, it is. They’ve even sent an email. It’s quite rude. They seem very angry.”
“It’s no wonder, since two major US cities have been burned to the ground. Connect me to the US. I’m curious to see how those arrogant bastards will act. Vice Chairman Sung Soo-woon will be in the US too… Heh heh. Is he regretting it?”
The connection with the US was established.
US President Gain looked very agitated. His blond hair was disheveled, and his face was flushed red, which didn’t suit a white man.
“Sung Yu-jin!!!”
As soon as he saw me, he shouted in anger. I chuckled.
“You don’t have to shout so loud, I can hear you just fine. Are you regretting betraying me now?”
It was surprising that Gain was still alive after I blew up Washington. …No, if I think about it, it’s obvious that the White House has a nuclear bunker.
“Don’t make me laugh! You crossed the line! You crossed it way too far! Don’t you think so?!”
Gain huffed and puffed, seeking agreement from those around him. On the monitor next to him, the leaders of various countries could be seen. Some, including China, were turned off. Those who were scared of the nuclear bombs had abandoned the US.
‘Japan is there… China isn’t, and Russia has also abandoned them.’
Africa and the Middle East were all on the US side. Most of Europe, except for a few, followed the US.
“Do you think we’re not using nuclear missiles because we can’t?!!”
Gain yelled.
Nuclear missiles weren’t my exclusive privilege. In the [Vampire Detective] world, most countries possessed nuclear missiles. Yes, the fact that most countries possessed them was the problem. Just having them was a deterrent to each other.
“We can turn the Korean peninsula into a wasteland with nuclear missiles! We, the US, have the capability to do that!”
“Heh heh. Don’t just talk about it, try firing one. Just like I detonated a nuclear bomb! But don’t forget that KOREA also possesses nuclear missiles. If you want a war of annihilation, I’ll gladly oblige!”
I laughed loudly.
These guys couldn’t fire nuclear missiles at me. They knew to some extent that I had teleportation abilities. If they launched a nuclear missile at the Korean peninsula, Korea would immediately launch a nuclear missile in return. In other words, a nuclear war would break out.
And they wouldn’t be able to kill me.
“Ugh…!”
Gain bit his lip, looking frustrated. Blood flowed. I laughed even louder.
“Hahaha. This is your limit! I’ll make you an offer here! Surrender! Stop your useless resistance and submit to me! This is my final warning before I spread the plague.”
“We will never surrender to you!”
“I’ll be arriving in Busan soon. I’ll declare the plague to the world from Busan.”
“You fucking baby! Are you trying to become a god?!”
“Why not?”
I unilaterally cut off the communication.
Those guys could have gone crazy and fired a nuclear missile at Busan. But an hour passed, and then two hours passed, and no nuclear missile fell on the Korean peninsula.
‘Do they still not believe that I have a deadly plague? Or can they stop it even if the plague breaks out? Heh heh. Good. Try to stop it if you can. I’ve roughly decided what kind of plague to use.’

The Double Dragon arrived in Busan.
Busan in KOREA was known as a rough place.
“Hey! Are you crazy?!”
“Hey! Drive properly!”
“Hey! Did you just bump my shoulder?!”
“Hey! You got a problem?!”
“Hey! Hey! Hey!”
Busan, the city of demons.
But now, Busan was silent. The Busan roads, which couldn’t even keep up with half of an F1 race, were deserted. Not a single car dared to challenge the Double Dragon. The Double Dragon proudly dominated the four lanes, heading towards Haeundae.
On the sidewalks beside the road, countless Busan citizens were kneeling, trembling. They were all welcoming me, the chairman of the Daechun Group.
“The citizens of Busan are very polite.”
“They know who the true master of this world is.”
The Double Dragon headed towards Haeundae, the pride of Busan.
In front of the Daechun Hotel in Haeundae, a group of people had gathered. The mayor of Busan and Sung Saeng-yu, one of the vice chairmen.
Old Sung Saeng-yu was bound in a prisoner’s rope, looking distraught.
As I got out of the Double Dragon with Secretary Kim, the mayor of Busan bowed 90 degrees.
“You’ve arrived, Chairman!”
“Yes. Mayor of Busan. I like Busan very much. I’m satisfied.”
“I’m glad you’re satisfied! Chairman! We’ve caught this bastard of a vice chairman!”
I looked at Sung Saeng-yu with a cold smile. The old man, who looked over 70, knelt down as soon as our eyes met.
“Father! I was wrong! Please, spare me! I don’t have much time left to live! I’ll give up my vice chairman position! Please let me spend my remaining days in peace!”
“If you wanted to live your remaining days in peace, you shouldn’t have stabbed me in the back.”
“I was out of my mind for a moment! Please, give me one more chance, just one more!”
“Since you were born from my seed, I should take care of you myself.”
I held the Super Blade in my hand. As it sparked with lightning, a laser shot up, enveloping the blade. Sung Saeng-yu, terrified, changed his begging target.
“Mother! Please stop Father! I was just swayed by the other vice chairmen.”
“Was he Secretary Kim’s son?”
I quietly looked at Secretary Kim. If Secretary Kim asked me to spare him… well, I was willing to spare him. I’d just throw him in jail.
“I never gave birth to a bastard who stabs his father and mother in the back.”
“Mother!! Are you going to do this?! Mother!! I’m your twelfth son!!”
“How dare you ask for your parents’ affection when you’ve committed such a heinous act? There’s a limit to how shameless you can be… It was my biggest mistake to bring you into this world.”
Secretary Kim’s eyes were colder than mine. Sung Saeng-yu, realizing that nothing he said would work, shed tears with a hollow expression.
“Die, you unfilial bastard.”
Clang!
The unfilial son’s head fell off. I shook off the Super Blade and put my arm around Secretary Kim’s shoulder. Secretary Kim sighed softly.
“I’m sorry, Chairman. I failed to educate my son properly.”
“If you put it that way, it’s my fault too. He’s my son. Secretary Kim, don’t be too upset. You can always have another child.”
“Yes. I’ll have a better child this time.”
“I hope it’s a girl who looks like Secretary Kim.”
“I’ll try.”
“I’ll try too.”
We went up to the very sweet room on the top floor of the hotel.

I was fiddling with the [Plague Creation Card]. As I touched the black card, letters appeared on the surface.
[Do you want to create a plague?]
“Create it.”
[Please tell me what kind of plague you want.]
“A zombie plague… is that possible?”
[What kind of zombie virus do you want to create? Detailed settings are possible.]
“…No. Not a zombie virus.”
A zombie virus. I had the urge to spread it, but I didn’t want a zombie apocalypse world. I didn’t want a ruined world. I wanted a world that I ruled.
“Can I make the infected only obey my commands?”
[Yes, it is possible. However, they will not obey your commands once the effects of the Plague Creation Card wear off.]
30 days of absolute power.
But what happens after 30 days? The plague-ridden dogs and pigs would explode with anger and try to take revenge.
“…A plague that makes the heads of those who oppose me explode. Can you make that? I’d like it to last even after 30 days.”
[Yes, it is possible. It’s a plague related to brainwave detection and genetic mutation. The genes mutate the moment they are infected, so the disease will persist even after 30 days. However, the plague will disappear after 30 days, so no new infections will occur.]
“So, even a fantastical plague is possible. What about the transmission method?”
[Depending on the settings, it can be transmitted through all routes, such as air, contact, and parasitism.]
“Good. I’ll make it that way.”
[Please name the plague.]
“Supreme Sung Yu-jin.”
[The Supreme Sung Yu-jin plague has been created. Do you want to spread the plague now? You can spread it a total of 10 times within 24 hours. The validity period of the plague is maintained for 30 days from the moment the plague is first spread.]
