The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All Chapter 125

Episode 125 Hidden Skill (4)

What Park Dong-jae took out was a magic stone.

Jeon Se-hyuk stabbed Dong-jae Park in the back while Kang-hu’s expression did not change much.

“hey! This is just a magic stone. “Why is it so great that you take the time to wrap it in a cloth?”

“It must have meaning.”

Contrary to Jeon Se-hyuk’s thoughts, Kang-hu did not think Park Dong-jae’s magic stone was insignificant.

Park Dong-jae’s personality is polite, but he’s not the type to joke around rudely.

Park Dong-jae then happily received Kang-hu’s words.

“that’s right! This is the first magic stone I got from the dungeon. “Things have been going really well since I started carrying this guy.”

“Is it like a talisman?”

“Yes, that’s right. I overcame the risk of dying five times and consumed two much-needed buff skill books. “Isn’t this a good luck charm?”

“It looks like you didn’t take this magic stone with you when you were kidnapped by the Kashmar Guild.”

“That’s correct…”

Kanghu chuckled.

I thought it was the wrong time to laugh, but I did. It seems like he really seriously thinks of it as a talisman.

it could be.

Because jinxes don’t happen for nothing. The reason why routines are created is also similar.

Whatever the reason, there was no doubt that it was a precious magic stone to Park Dong-jae.

so.

Paradoxically, I didn’t want to receive it.

“It’s done. “I’ll just accept your heart.”

“yes? Is it because it’s such a poor response? “I’m giving this to you first.”

“That’s not what I’m talking about.”

“I plan to continue to say thank you to Seongyu as soon as I earn money. “Don’t be upset.”

“No, it’s not a matter of amount. Because receiving something like that is a burden in itself. So that’s it.”

“Ah…”

“If you want to repay the favor, you can volunteer for free when we go to the dungeon together later. How is it?”

I made a counteroffer.

There is nothing better than being able to use a buffer like Park Dong-jae for free.

Of course, if that happens, I plan on taking a fairly tight dungeon. That’s how you get rid of it.

“Sure! No, you can also get a lifetime free pass! “Really!”

“For life.”

“I say this from the bottom of my heart. “There is a saying that if you want to be the most blessed person, you have to be the most thankful person.”

“Calvin Coolidge.”

“oh! “How did you know?”

“It’s a quote I quite like.”

“Gratitude is the most beautiful expression of politeness!”

“Jacques Maritain.”

“wow! “You have a lot of knowledge of famous sayings, right?”

“I answered two.”

“Anyway, Dongjae… I’m sorry, Seongyu. “This guy really likes conversations like this.”

“no. “It’s nice that I can also use my niche knowledge.”

Kang Hu shook his head.

Park Dong-jae’s character seemed clear. He is also a character who actually loves reading.

The reason Park Dong-jae was able to grow into the best buffer is because he read numerous papers by hunters.

Things that could not be directly experimented with or challenged were used as research materials along with indirect experience through papers.

“Anyway, please call me. No matter what happens, I will give Seongyu’s request my highest priority.”

“Then I will make the most of my chance. Take the magic stone back. “Bring it with you when you go to the dungeon with me.”

“ah! All right. ha ha ha!”

It was nice to see Park Dong-jae full of positive energy.

Perhaps because of that kind of character, he gets along well with colleagues like Jeon Se-hyuk, who has a serious side, and Ban Se-young, who doesn’t know where he will turn.

Compared to Kang-hoo himself, he has a personality on the opposite end of the scale, but that also makes him more interesting.

The drinking party was ripe.

The advantage of Seoul, aside from the high prices, is that you can drink alcohol comfortably anytime, anywhere.

Even if you stumble and walk down a dark road, there will be no problem at all.

I got quite a lot of information from conversations with the two people.

First of all, I learned that Park Dong-jae hates Eclipse as much as Jeon Se-hyuk.

Two friends of ten years were kidnapped by Eclipse and their fate was unknown. Looks like he’s still looking.

So Park Dong-jae said that he created Insider in Eclipse after a long design process.

It was thanks to an insider that Jeon Se-hyuk was able to find out that Cha So-hee was killed by Kang-hoo.

Park Dong-jae called the entire insider line he created the ‘black network’.

And it was said that the Black Network’s sphere of influence includes all major guild warlords in the country.

The information network was much wider than Kang-hu thought.

In this regard, contrary to what it appears on the outside, it was quite meticulous and careful.

Park Dong-jae knows information about all insiders connected to the black network.

It was also said that the insiders did not know each other. It is said that he never gave even the slightest clue.

‘I’ll have to hold on tight to the collar.’

The expected value of Park Dong-jae, whose value was high just because he was a talented buffer, is skyrocketing.

Of course, Park Dong-jae didn’t know how great he was, but it was clearly visible to Kang-hoo.

The Black Network seemed to have a lot to offer.

He said that the reason Park Dong-jae doesn’t have any money right now is because a huge amount of money is spent on maintaining the network.

It would have to be that way.

If the safety of insiders is considered top priority, more activity expenses will be needed.

The number of drinks we shared increased, but strangely, no one got drunk.

In the middle, Jeon Se-hyuk leaves the room to make a phone call that requires security.

Kang-hoo and Park Dong-jae remained in their seats. Park Dong-jae filled Kang-hoo’s glass with alcohol and then changed the topic.

“I heard about it from Seyoung and Sehyuk. “I heard you overwhelmingly broke the maze dungeon record.”

“I did.”

“Furthermore, I heard that you almost crushed them with a one-man show in your internal strategy.”

“It ended quickly.”

“Both Sehyuk and Seyoung are surprisingly picky when it comes to complimenting outsiders. To be precise, he is very cold-hearted.”

“okay.”

“But when the two of you talk about Seongyu, there is nothing but praise. “No, there is no fault.”

“Although it was our first time conquering the maze dungeon, the three of us worked well together, so it ended easier than expected.”

“That’s right. “If you don’t really get along with your breathing, no matter how many times you try to do it, it will get worse again and again.”

“It was pretty fun.”

“I heard you had better grades with Seongyu than me…”

“Injured?”

“no. “I thought I’d like to try to strategize and conquer a dungeon with someone like that!”

Those were Park Dong-jae’s words.

I like challenges and adventures.

Although that became the cause of trouble and he went to Ground Zero and was kidnapped.

Perhaps Park Dong-jae will also enjoy a dungeon in the form of a trial that tests his limits more than an ordinary strategy.

“This dungeon was handed over to me by Sehyuk. “I’m going to go attack soon, so let’s try our best then.”

“great. As I said before, it’s free! Would you like to shake hands?”

“suddenly?”

“Let’s hold hands tightly in advance and see if it fits well! “I’ll try adjusting my feet later.”

“Are you kidding me?”

“…Did you not have fun?”

One way or another, the character was definitely Park Dong-jae.

The drinking party with the two ended at dawn, and Kang-hu slept soundly until that evening.

Not only did I have no plans to worry about afterward, but it had been a while since I drank too much, so I wanted to rest well.

While I was sleeping, I received a light call from Jin Hyo-young saying good morning, but since I was still sleeping, I automatically ignored it.

Since Kang-hu was in no hurry, I thought I would test his patience at this time.

As evening turns to night.

Kang-hoo, who had made an appointment with Lee Ye-rin, went down to Daejeon Station and met her.

It was to take care of Yoon Sang-mi’s condition and also talk with Lee Ye-rin about the future direction of the request.

As soon as he got off at Daejeon Station, Kang-hoo called Yoon Sang-mi.

She answered the phone earlier than expected.

– Yes, my brother.

“I wanted to ask how you are feeling.”

– Me? great. But I’m starting the attack now? We’ll talk on the phone later. then!

“….”

The call ended without me having time to reply.

Kang-hoo was always the one to hang up the phone first, but today it feels like the positions have been reversed.

Anyway, I felt like I was in good enough condition to start raiding the dungeon, so I was relieved.

I couldn’t help but feel sorry for Yoon Sang-mi, who was involved in her own work and had a hard time with the troubleshooter.

at that time.

“What are you doing standing blankly in front of the station? “I called him from behind and he didn’t even answer.”

Someone tapped Kang-hu’s shoulder from behind. It was Lee Ye-rin.

Originally, we were supposed to meet outside of Daejeon Station, but it looks like she was coming out from inside the station as well.

“Oh, the call just ended.”

Ganghu’s eyes lit up as he answered. This is because Yerin Lee’s constellations have increased by two.

‘It’s not surprising when rapid growth begins.’

Considering Lee Ye-rin’s position in the future, the steeply rising growth curve was not strange.

Probably around this time.

This is when we started aggressively merging and acquiring small mercenary groups and purchasing their dungeons.

Although Lee Ye-rin’s mercenary group ‘Cheongan’ was not large in scale, her network was wider than expected.

So, since we had enough capital due to the money we had consistently earned, there was no problem in raising funds for the acquisition.

“Shall we change seats first? Today’s topic is a bit heavy. “We also need to maintain some security.”

“Where shall we go?”

“Let’s go to our mercenary building. “It’s safe because there are sufficient security facilities.”

“Of course.”

It was the first mercenary building she visited.

Until now, you can usually see it near the Cheongan Mercenary Group’s permanent information booth in front of Daejeon Station.

Or because we used to meet in other areas besides Daejeon Station. It was a request that was a bit deeper than that today.

* * *

Cheongan Building is located about 1km west of Daejeon Station.

The interrupted conversation continued only after entering the completely soundproofed room inside the Cheongan Building.

It was Yerin Lee who spoke first.

“The mercenary market is unusual these days. “As the demand for mercenaries rapidly increases, the supply shortage is worsening.”

“This is good news for me as a client.”

“That is correct. “Not to mention the unit price of the request, the reward for success is also skyrocketing.”

“There must be a reason for the surge in demand, right?”

Kang-hu asked, already knowing, but still thinking of checking.

The reason is obvious.

This is due to the ‘white war’ between pharmaceutical companies. The current situation is truly the calm before the storm.

“Pharmaceutical companies are stepping up their game. You know? “Right now, the prices of narcotic stimulants in our country are the highest in the world.”

“Yes, I know. “I heard that foreign countries are trying to open their eyes and make connections in the supply line.”

“I think pharmaceutical companies are making a decision. “If we had a monopoly instead of sharing the pie like we do now.”

“You can scoop up money.”

“That’s it. “Foreign capital is also coming in to take advantage of this trend.”

“Pharmaceutical companies also have different backgrounds. Aren’t there also China and Russia?”

“Sure. “The number of foreign hunters entering the country from the two countries this month jumped 450% compared to the previous month.”

“You’re crazy.”

The signs were definitely not good.

Aside from a war between pharmaceutical companies, if this were to happen, an international war would break out among mercenaries as well.

There were clear signs that the country was about to become very noisy.

It would be better if it was noisy and the smell of blood would be strong.

The curtain of the white war was already slowly rising.
