The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All Chapter 21

Episode 21: The Eyes of Truth, Ahn Young-ho (1)

* * *

“You’ve really never seen it before, have you?”

“doesn’t exist. And even if there was, why should I tell you? “There’s no obligation to do that, right?”

“There won’t be any harm in cooperating with Eclipse. “I guess adding a few eyes to the back of your head wasn’t enough?”

“There was no one who just put his eyes on me and pulled the trigger. why? Are you afraid that you might get into a fight with our mercenary group?”

“I’m scared. “If only Donghyun came out, that would be sorted out right away. Is that possible?”

“Then you told me to come out? The subject who always sits in the chair like a fighter in the corner is showing off…”

“Anyway, you didn’t see it? “If it turns out I’ve seen it before, I won’t just ignore it.”

“Get out of here. just.”

This is because Cha So-hee is investigating Kang-hoo by looking for mercenary spots near Daejeon Station.

Her investigation reached Yerin Lee, who had opened a desk and was accepting applicants for a mercenary group.

Yerin Lee’s mercenary group, Cheongan, and Eclipse have been enemies for a long time.

This is because both are rooted in the Daejeon area and were already in conflict over interests.

The reason Eclipse was unable to wipe out Cheongan right away was because Lee Ye-rin had steadily built up her personal connections.

In particular, the criminal organization Black Lion, who, like Cheongan, is at odds with Eclipse, and Lee Ye-rin joined hands.

An alliance was formed to keep each other in check, just like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

In any case, since the balance of power was so precarious, no one could advance without caution.

“I hope you work hard day and night.”

“I told you to fuck off.”

“joy.”

Cha So-hee scolded Lee Ye-rin until the end and leisurely left the scene.

“Crazy bitch.”

Yerin Lee swore coolly for her to hear behind her and turned her head. And I thought.

‘If Eclipse sends a hunting dog to investigate Mr. Kang-hoo, it means that they are very interested.’

It seemed that the goal was not to kill Kang Hu, but to capture him alive.

If you were going to kill me, you wouldn’t be asking questions like this. I chase it down without making a sound and then blow off its head.

Not doing so meant that the person who sent the hunting dog, namely Kang Dong-hyeon, was watching Kang-hu closely.

‘I thought he had extraordinary skills from the beginning, but…’

Lee Ye-rin’s interest in Kang-hu was also growing, so that interest was not incomprehensible.

However, he didn’t like the fact that no one else had the same thoughts as him and that it was Eclipse.

‘I think I could smoke a little bit of pepper in moderation. Heh.’

It is easy for Cha So-hee to interfere and make it difficult to find Kang-hoo.

All you have to do is keep your eyes on her behind. Just by knowing the route of movement, you can reduce the chances of meeting Kang-hu.

Of course, while informing Kang-hu of the location.

Although he doesn’t have a deep connection with Kang-hoo, he doesn’t want Kang-hoo to have any connections to Eclipse either.

Ye-rin Lee decided to pay more attention to the safety of her client, Kang-hu, a hunter who only receives requests from mercenary groups.

In the long run, it was her desire to recruit Kang-hu as a mercenary member rather than a client.

“Changhyun.”

“Yes, Captain.”

“Gyoseon is calling. “I need to do some work for the first time in a while.”

“all right.”

Yerin Lee sang her ‘snow’.

* * *

Kang-hoo filled another glass with Solarium Burst and erased his thoughts about Cha So-hee.

It was like a foregone conclusion that something like this would happen unless I lived like a rat.

I looked into the hunter community acquired and operated by Eclipse and the official website just in case.

There was no public wanted at their level. That means that the goal is not to kill oneself.

I felt like I could think about this issue when I met Cha So-hee. This is an issue that needs to be considered.

“One more drink.”

“This is the last one, sir. “We ran out of stock in Solakium….”

“It’s okay. “I’m going to make it my last drink.”

While waiting for his next drink, Kanghu was lost in thought.

The plan was for what to do next after dealing with Heo Jeong-tae.

There may be a way to receive a new request from Yerin Lee and carry it out, but I wondered if there was another route.

The first thing that came to mind was Ground Zero.

The area starts from the DMZ, formerly called the Demilitarized Zone, and continues all the way to the land of ‘old’ North Korea.

Hunters called this area, full of monsters and no people, ground zero.

The vast land from Sariwon to the west to Wonsan to the east was ground zero.

It was possible to enter this place without separate permission. Of course, the safety of those entering must be taken care of yourself.

‘It’s good in terms of leveling up, and more than anything, it’s a place where you can get Mad Solarchium.’

Mad Solakium.

It is a concentrated version of Solarkium.

It has a stronger sedative effect, and when consumed, you are ‘liberated’ from mana hypersensitivity for about 30 minutes.

Of course, there will be a big aftereffect later, but it is a definite help in the battle anyway.

Mad Solakium was not sold in the market because it was difficult to obtain in the first place because there were no public places to grow it.

To obtain it, you have no choice but to search Ground Zero yourself.

‘It’s a space I created in the first place.’

In the original work, Ground Zero is where Shin Kang-hu took in and killed two of the thirteen stars.

As the author of the original work, I had a detailed plan of the space, even drawing a topographical map, so I remembered useful points.

Although I didn’t know everything, I was confident that I could at least find a few field bosses and a few branches of Mad Solarchium.

“It’s Solarkium Burst.”

A blunt male bartender wearing glasses handed Kanghu the last solarium burst.

The five cocktail glasses stacked next to him gave an idea of Kanghu’s strong taste.

Right then.

The only door to the modern bar on the third floor shook and a man came inside.

As soon as he came in, he looked around and saw Kang-hu, who had just started to raise his glass to his lips.

“brother! Did I make you wait too long? “The people my uncle sent haven’t arrived yet!”

He spoke while waving his hand slyly.

However, unlike his actions, his eyes were shaking violently.

Kang-hu looked at him without much response and glanced behind his shoulder.

Then, two men in civilian clothes – so it didn’t look like civilian clothes – stood outside the door and looked inside.

Their gazes alternately looked at the man and Kang-hoo, and soon disappeared when their eyes met Kang-hoo.

The man who did not yet know this fact sat across from the table where Kang-hu was sitting alone and continued talking.

Now his eyes had calmed down, but on the contrary, his hands on the table were shaking.

“How are you?”

“The snow that was stuck fell off.”

“Ah…”

The man was shocked as he watched Kang-hu calmly say that the two followers had disappeared from sight.

“I understand the situation, but I hate attracting random people.”

“…I’m really sorry. “I was short-thinking.”

He stood up with a downcast face at Kanghu’s cold criticism.

At that time, Ganghu slightly tilted his head when he saw the constellation information confirmed on the man.

【True Clairvoyant】

【Neutral tendency constellation. You can let the other person tell you the truth, but you must always tell the truth as well.】

‘Eye of Truth Ahn Young-ho.’

His name immediately came to mind.

This is because in the original work, along with Shin Kang-hu, he is one of the characters who stands in opposition to the Jeonghwa guild.

He was also a person who hated the Purification Guild until his death.

His final death was an explosion that killed him while embracing Shin Tae-seok, who was the third-ranking member of the Jeonghwa Guild. There was such a deep-rooted resentment.

Anyway, Ahn Young-ho appears three years from now.

Moreover, Japan, not Korea, is the main stage.

The reason is simple: his maternal uncle is the deputy master of the Rikou Guild, one of Japan’s leading guilds.

There was no need to engage in risky activities within the country with Japan as a good backup.

But why are you in the country?

‘Then is it because the reason you started hating the Purification Guild was because you got twisted while working in Korea?’

Although it was not a part of the original, I thought it would be suitable for the past reconstructed in conjunction with the bad ending.

It’s a guess, but the two followers may be members of the Purification Guild.

Ahn Young-ho is an important figure.

Since he is a person who has strong support from Japan’s Ricou Guild, there is a lot of value in using him.

At this point, it would be an incredibly weak time.

Moreover, since he’s a healer, he’s probably even worse at combat.

That’s probably why they were pushed all the way here without the courage to fight or elude them.

A cold wind lingered and passed by in the empty space left by Ahn Young-ho, who had left his miserable behind.

widely!

Ganghu drank the remaining Solarchium Burst in one go and stood up.

And I grabbed Ahn Young-ho’s shoulder, who had just gone down about half a floor.

“for a moment.”

“…yes?”

“Summarize the situation. briefly.”

“I left the purification guild, but I was followed after that. But I don’t even know who it is.”

The prediction was correct.

According to the original flow, Ahn Young-ho would have been ‘kidnapped’ by the Jeonghwa guild here.

Afterwards, his life will become completely twisted like Shin Kang-hu in the original work, and his hatred for them will grow.

“atmosphere.”

Kang Hu stopped Ahn Young-ho, targeted him, and succeeded in hiding by moving laterally.

Then, when I went down one more floor and looked down through the glass window, I saw a strange scene.

First of all, at the entrance, the two followers we saw earlier are standing burning cigarettes.

There are no people around, and there is an unidentified black van right next to the two trailers.

‘This is too shabby.’

There’s no way they just blocked the entrance.

Strictly speaking, there is an exit from the bottom, but there is also an exit from the top.

If you look at the fact that they are blocking the entrance as if to show off, it looks like they were designed to force you to go to the rooftop.

‘Anyway, they are more systematic when it comes to bad things. This must all be Chae Gwan-hyung’s influence.’

First of all, the plan was to save Ahn Young-ho.

This is not because of clumsy sympathy or pity, but because Ahn Young-ho’s use value is too good.

Moreover, what if you become the ‘saver’ who saved the life of Ahn Young-ho, who is sincere in everything he does and feels?

He will try to repay you and return the favor somehow.

That’s his personality from the beginning.

In the original work, he was a villain to the Purification Guild, but to the Rikou Guild, he was like an angel.

“wait. “I’ll make a way to the rooftop.”

“yes?”

“It means we will deal with the guys above. “You can come up later.”

“thank you. Really….”

“I’ll say thank you when everything is settled. First, wait at the stairs on the 4th floor. “After the 5th floor is the rooftop.”

“yes. All right.”

Pot.

As soon as Kang Hu finished speaking, he moved sideways again, went into hiding, and disappeared.

Ahn Young-ho was startled and looked around, but there was no sign of Kang-hu.

in between.

Kang-hu jumped out of the open window and climbed up one floor at a time.

Although I had to carry all my weight with my two arms, my increased strength and stamina made this possible.

Moreover, since there were no hunters around yet and the attack skill was not being used, the stealth was not broken.

While Kang-hu arrived from the 3rd floor to the 4th floor, from the 4th floor to the 5th floor, and up to the railing.

Neither the two pursuers on the first floor nor the two hunters who had already taken their seats on the rooftop noticed Ganghu’s presence.

Next moment.

Kang-hoo, who jumped off the railing, headed towards the two hunters who were guarding the iron door leading to the rooftop.
