Episode 190: Focused Eyes (1)
* * *
The video of Ganghu rescuing a grandmother and granddaughter from a Toushi guild member was uploaded as a popular video on Hunter Gram.
People who were guided by the algorithm were impressed by Kang-hoo’s performance and his warm appearance in saving the grandmother.
On the one hand, I was happy that a Korean hunter went to Japan and promoted national prestige in his own way.
Hunter Gram, an essential application among hunters, is easily accessible, so most people have seen it.
Han Seo-yeon was no exception. She had a proud expression on her face as she looked at Kang-hu in the video.
‘It seems like you’re doing well, brother. I also grew a lot as a hunter. It’s really been amazing. It’s unbelievable.’
I still have vivid memories of meeting Kang Hu, who had gone missing.
At that time, everyone looked like a dying person. My skin was also paler and much thinner than it is now.
Moreover, since she was just starting out as a hunter, her level was much lower than that of Han Seoyeon.
But now, it has grown to the point where that past becomes insignificant. No, it would be more accurate to say rapid growth.
Compared to himself, it seemed like he had reversed his growth a long time ago.
You can tell just by looking at Kanghu’s movements in the video. Probably not even a match.
at that time.
The team leader of Team 59, to which Han Seo-yeon belongs, came in. As you can see from the team numbering, it is not a high-level team.
Usually, the purification guild considers up to 15 teams as an elite team, but this is far below this level.
The team leader said.
“Today’s training is on hold for now. Instructor Gong Yoo-seok and Go Joo-hee are absent due to urgent matters.”
“Is there a problem?”
Seoyeon Han asked.
It wasn’t because I was asking questions, but because I was looking forward to the training I would receive from the two people.
The two were well-known hunters within the Jeonghwa guild and were also a couple known as wannabes.
Not to mention their skills, they were people who specialized in teaching others.
“The Master said he was looking for it.”
“Are you Master?”
“okay. Do you understand?”
“Yes, I understand right away.”
Han Seoyeon nodded.
There can be nothing more important than what the guild owner is looking for. Absolute obedience is natural.
Han Seo-yeon, who suddenly had some free time, picked up her smartphone to text Kang-hoo for the first time in a while.
but.
‘no. ‘It’s still not enough.’
I immediately shook my head.
Recently, Han Seo-yeon had cut off contact with all her acquaintances in order to focus only on training and growth.
The same goes for Kang-hoo and Lee Ye-rin.
I’m training with my teeth clenched because I want to show a different side of me, but I can’t be weak here for no reason.
Just today… I decided to be satisfied with just seeing Ganghu’s cool side for the first time in a long time.
He is a person who is running hard towards a better future. I didn’t want to be even the slightest disruption.
“Wow, this hunter is really amazing. “You gave Eclipse a blow before, but you also hit Toushi Guild?”
“What did you say your name was? Xinganghu?”
“uh. He also looks very handsome. look. Do you have a girlfriend? “I’m really jealous if you have one.”
Other team members also looked at Hunter Gram and were impressed when they saw a video related to Kanghu.
What can I say? Perhaps because it was a compliment to someone she knew, Han Seo-yeon felt proud even though it was not about her.
cancer. Kang-hu is a person worthy of praise.

Before meeting Gong Yoo-seok and Go Joo-hee.
Jang Si-hwan, who was fixated on the monitor screen, moved several videos to the ‘Pending’ folder.
Among them was an investigation video of the person who cut off Tae-soo Gong’s left arm.
I’ve been tracking it for a while, but I gave up on it because there was no clear evidence.
First of all, the biggest thing was that there was no video of the time when Tae-soo Gong’s arm was cut off.
Next, further investigation was not possible because Prince Gong regarded the events of that day as black history and kept his mouth shut.
Not only that, Tae-su Gong’s Red Blood organization had been kicked out of Ulsan, so his whereabouts were now unknown.
It would have been nice if I had found a link when I searched hard in the beginning.
Since it was still at a standstill, Jang Si-hwan’s interest naturally cooled and the related videos soon disappeared from his sight.
Although its name is Hold Folder, it is actually a classification similar to a trash can. There are many other videos to watch besides this.
Soon, following the secretary’s guidance, Gong Seok and Go Joo Hee entered Jang Si Hwan’s office.
Jang Si-hwan’s neatly organized office is simply decorated with a black and white concept.
So the two were able to focus only on Jang Si-hwan without any reason to look elsewhere.
Jang Si-hwan said.
“You must be busy, but you worked hard to get here. Are you out of your mind these days? “Because the training schedule is tight.”
Bow your head politely and say hello.
The sight of Jang Si-hwan politely guiding the two to their seats was manner itself.
The two particularly liked Jang Si-hwan, who was always polite despite being in the top position as a master.
Jang Si-hwan never once crossed the line.
I have never once committed abuse of power. On the contrary, Chae Gwan-hyung did that kind of abuse a lot. He’s a piece of trash.
Go Joo-hee said.
“no. A training instructor is something we requested. “I have fun working every day.”
Gong Seok also added his words.
“Thanks to your consideration, I am working with a work-life balance, so you don’t have to worry. “By the way, you called us earlier than scheduled.”
“There has been a bit of outside recruitment these days, right? “Except for cases of internal promotion in satellite guilds.”
The two people nodded in response to Jang Si-hwan’s question.
Satellite guilds like the Haeohwa Guild sent a large number of hunters to the Jeonghwa Guild… but as
Jang Si-hwan said, it had been quite a while since they had recruited completely outsiders.
Jang Si-hwan continued.
“I didn’t like all the talent recommended for other lines. “Is there a hunter you can recommend?”
“An assassin named Baek Seon-tae….”
“Ah, that friend from Jagang, the Yeosu warlord? “The weaknesses were so obvious.”
Before Gong Seok could finish speaking about the first person, Jang Si-Hwan’s feedback came out.
It wasn’t a lie to say that I was constantly looking through data related to people. It seems like he has all the relevant information.
“A prosecutor hunter named Jo Yoon-jun….”
“I looked and it was a bubble. Haeyoung is the hunter who requested a transfer from the guild, right? “Just tell Haeyoung to die holding you.”
The second recommendation was also cut off with a single cut.
Next, he recommended Han Seo-yeon, but Jang Si-hwan was not interested because she was a member of the guild.
The question was whether there was any need to pay attention to it since it would grow on its own according to the guild’s established process.
The story of three hunters who seemed to have good skills was dropped before it even got to the table.
So the two decided to bring up the topic of a hunter with whom they had been talking quite a bit recently.
You might not even think about the person being mentioned, but Gong Yoo-seok and Go Joo-hee were people who had a lot of conversations.
That person is.
“What about an assassin hunter named Shin Kang-hoo? He became famous for the Eclipse-related incident and has recently become famous for the Osaka issue.”
It was Ganghu.
Gong Seok uploaded a photo of Kang Hoo on his smartphone, wondering if he might be a hunter that Jang Si Hwan didn’t know about.
In fact, Jang Si-hwan was so busy that he was somewhat insensitive to Eclipse-related incidents and domestic news.
However, when I looked at the photo, I saw that it was a spherical person.
A man I saw at the observatory and even saw one-on-one at the Golden Goblin’s mine.
In addition, he was a hunter who had participated in the recent large-scale attack on Judgment’s Hell.
He is a person who has created quite a few contacts without even realizing it.
“Do you have any additional information to add?”
Then the eyes of Jang Si-hwan, who seemed not particularly interested in the previous story, sparkled.

Meanwhile, Kanghu was listening to a thank you from Fumiya, who urgently returned from the battlefield.
All Rikou guild members present at the scene testified to the fact that Yuuji suffered an unexpected blow from Kanghu.
Furthermore, some of the CCTV footage in the city also showed the fight between Kang-hoo and Kenji.
Although there was only a short video, there was no problem at all in proving the performance at the time even with a brief appearance.
This is already the third time he is indebted to Kang-hoo.
Fumiya seemed unable to hide his embarrassment throughout the conversation. There will be quite a bit of damage to your pride.
“We will provide you with clear compensation at the guild level. “I’m sure you don’t mind financial compensation, right?”
“No, I got the money. “I just want you to find some information that can be tricky to research.”
“Do you want an official investigation? Or a secret investigation?”
“The latter.”
There was another reason why Ganghu refused monetary compensation.
As a result of looking into the Ricou guild, I found that it contained more information than I thought.
I found out about this while talking about various things through messages with Ahn Young-ho. He is quite good at external information.
There may be only one reason.
There is an information network that operates independently, and its scale is probably bigger than you can imagine.
There is also a possibility that he has insiders in multiple guilds or organizations like Park Dong-jae. Or maybe the appeasement was successful.
So, he planned to obtain information through Fumiya that would have been difficult to obtain on his own.
The monetary compensation you give up will be equivalent to the information fee.
“What information do you want?”
“I want to list and collect information about all dungeons near JR Sapporo Station. “Even the procedure if you want to attack.”
“If you don’t mind…”
“Ask a question.”
“Can you tell me just a little bit about why you are interested in Sapporo? “There is no malicious intent.”
“Would it be a satisfactory answer if I answered that I had a good feeling?”
Of course, that’s not a good answer.
Because I’m talking vaguely.
However, I can’t say out loud that I should go there because there is an imbalance point there.
So, although it may seem like nonsense, I answered by giving an absurd reason.
“All right. We research all the necessary data without leaving anything behind. Would you like that as compensation?”
“As long as there are no omissions.”
Ganghu nodded.
It’s an issue that allows you to climb dozens of levels in one go, but it’s a complete advantage if you get this reward once.
Fumiya doesn’t know the inside story, but from Ganghu’s point of view, it was a business that would definitely remain.
“All right. I investigate using the hunters under my direct control. “I will finish it in two days.”
also.
As expected, there appears to be a secret information network inside.
Otherwise, it is difficult to set a date and give a definite answer. It is very likely that there is an informant that can be contacted right now.
In this way, the basic work to find the imbalance point located in Japan was completed.
Now all that’s left is to make sure to go through the remaining five dungeons for Dark Age farming.
Then, one of the main goals of coming to Japan, growth during the dark ages, will be achieved.
After that day.
Five days have passed.
It was the moment of finishing four of the five remaining dungeons.
Now there is only the last dungeon left to go with Ahn Young-ho.
