The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All Chapter 221

Episode 221 Meeting (1)

Ye-rin Lee received a call.

Since I can check skills at any time, I canceled the cast and immediately answered the phone.

“yes. “This is Shin Kang-hoo.”

– Is it okay to talk?

“If it wasn’t okay, I wouldn’t have accepted it.”

– Ah…

Ye-rin Lee sighed for a moment, perhaps because she heard an answer that had Kang-hu’s unique smell from the beginning of the conversation.

Considering that most of the clients who deal with Lee Ye-rin are good-natured and like to joke.

It is clear that Kang-hoo falls into the boring category. If I had to rank it in terms of not being fun, it would be number 1.

“Have we received any overseas requests?”

– Oh, that issue is still under discussion. There are a lot of parts to coordinate.

“okay. “Then what happened?”

– I received a call from the Purification Guild. Please arrange for me to meet Mr. Kang-hoo.

“Why don’t you contact me directly?”

– I want to be polite and polite. You might think that if you contact me directly, it’s inferior, right?

“Who are you?”

– Isn’t this Mr. Kang-hoo? They want to give the impression that they are approaching it as cautiously as possible.

“hmm.”

Kanghu was lost in thought for a moment.

There is really no reason to avoid meeting.

That’s even weirder.

Kang Hoo-ya knows Jang Si-hwan’s true nature, so she can’t help but be concerned about his every action.

If you look at yourself from Jang Si-hwan’s perspective, the picture is completely different.

Just one of many hunters.

For example, let us recall Baek Seon-tae, whom we met at the warlord Jagang when we went to Yeosu.

At that time, Baek Seon-tae even gave me his contact information and showed a lot of interest.

However, Kang Hu passed Baek Seon-tae over, thinking that he was an unusual assassin but nothing particularly special.

After that, I wasn’t curious about Baek Seon-tae’s news, nor did I want to know where he was and what he was doing.

If you draw yourself in Baek Seon-tae’s position and replace Jang Si-hwan in your own position, you can make a rough guess.

You may find yourself interesting to Jang Si-hwan.

However, in order to go beyond that, we need to stand out and grow even more than we are now.

Otherwise, the ‘Xinganghu’ seen from Jang Si-hwan’s position would end up being somewhat special.

– What should I do?

“Let’s meet. As things turned out like this, we decided to meet at the Cheongan Building. “I’ll take two hits at once if I have to.”

– You want to meet me and finish the next schedule in one queue?

“Can the middle move first? “The temple needs to move.”

– Pfft. The drip just now was kind of fun. I guess I’m old too.

“If you treat me like an old man with wholesale money like this… ugh.”

Kanghu burst into laughter.

– When should we meet?

“This is Suwon. I will go straight to Daejeon. Please quickly schedule a meeting with the Purification Guild.”

– all right. Then should we send someone to Daejeon Station?

“no. I will go there in person to take a look at the surrounding atmosphere. “Don’t worry about coming.”

– Yes, then. I’ll wait.

After finishing the call, Kang-hoo headed straight to Suwon Station.

There is always an opportunity to train and refine the Flame of Death. I wasn’t disappointed that I couldn’t demonstrate it properly.

Daejeon Station.

Since I haven’t been here recently, the atmosphere around Daejeon Station has changed quite a bit from before.

The seals and flags of the Cheongan Mercenaries and the Black Lion were flying much more than before.

Hunters belonging to Eclipse, who were seen occasionally, were nowhere to be seen. As if he disappeared.

So, even though I came to Daejeon Station expecting a certain amount of conflict in some cases, there was nothing to worry about.

Currently, Ganghu is under an extermination order from Eclipse, so there are many people chasing him with their eyes lit.

Of course, unless you are a hunter with some level of skill, it would be best to die doing something pointless.

While I was drinking takeout Americano to soothe my stuffy mouth.

I listened carefully because I could hear a conversation between two men nearby.

“Anyway, why can’t the Eclipse guys even show their noses in Daejeon Station these days?”

“Eclipse should have more enemies. “They said there were more than one place to use power, so they started with it here.”

“Well, you deployed hunters to stimulate Cheongan and Black Lion, right?”

“It’s not like there’s a dungeon in Daejeon Station. “To be honest, it was just a joke.”

“Still, I heard that they deployed quite a few hunters because of symbolism. “It looks like there is an urgent fire.”

“I don’t know why you’re having such a hard time buying it. Is this Cha So-hyuk who died in Japan this time? “He said he was Cha Sohee’s older brother.”

“Oh yeah?”

Even though the two men were civilians without any information about the Constellation, they seemed to be very interested in hunter-related issues.

It has to be that way.

Because the quality of life varies depending on which hunter organization affects one’s living area.

Daejeon is still one of the best places to live.

This is because, paradoxically, peace is maintained because the Cheongan mercenary group Black Lion Eclipse is divided into three to maintain balance.

It was a peace that could be broken at any moment, but it was still balanced. There was almost no armed conflict.

‘What is Yoon Sang-mi trying to do?’

The person that comes to mind when I come to Daejeon Station.

I had a lot of memories with Yoon Sang-mi in Daejeon, so I always remembered things that were worth forgetting.

I know you’re working hard on conquering the dungeon, but it feels like the news has suddenly stopped.

‘Well, no news is good news.’

Being overly concerned is a luxury.

I moved forward, thinking that I would be contacted if I needed something or remembered something.

As the two men said earlier, most of the traces of Eclipse had disappeared to a noticeable extent.

It looks like Kang Dong-hyun is having a hard time.

After a while.

Lee Ye-rin came to meet me in front of the Cheongan Building.

Ganghu, who met her, looked at her constellation information with narrowed eyes.

This is because one more constellation has been added without us seeing it. It also has a constellation attached to it that reinforces the ‘defense’ side.

As a wizard, being equipped with defensive capabilities means maximizing stability.

It is a perfect match for Lee Ye-rin, who pursues an extreme outfighter style of fighting.

When Kang-hoo’s eyes looked different from usual, Lee Ye-rin asked, slyly, shrinking her body.

“Why do you look at me like that?”

“I feel like I’ve gained some weight.”

“Wow… you’re saying that so openly to my face?”

“I can’t lie.”

“Your jokes have increased, Mr. Kang-hoo!”

“It’s not a joke.”

“Tsk. It’s a solid counter. Now this way. “I will guide you personally.”

Still, I have become quite close to Lee Ye-rin, perhaps because we have been face-to-face for a long time.

If you think about it, after escaping from the Cheongmyeong concentration camp by possessing Shin Kang-hu’s body in this world.

The person I had a relationship with after Han Seo-yeon was Lee Ye-rin.

If you look at the early stages of adaptation, Lee Ye-rin had the largest stake. There’s also Sangmi Yoon.

While moving to the exclusive VIP reception room.

Lee Ye-rin talked about Kang-hoo’s performance in Japan and poured out praise until her mouth watered.

Saving a grandmother and her granddaughter and giving Yuuji and Kenji a good blow. And even to the point of destroying Cha So-hyuk and Toushi guild members.

Seeing that everyone who heard the news repeated the story over and over again, it seemed like it was engraved in everyone’s minds.

Soon, Lee Ye-rin arrived at the reception room, sat down, and continued the conversation over a cup of coffee with Kang-hoo.

“Because Kang-hoo became famous this time, whether voluntarily or not.”

“Other people.”

“yes. Well then! “Maybe that’s why the number of clients requesting mercenaries from overseas has increased significantly.”

“Rather than that, it’s probably because of the shortage of bleeding dealers. “There is no way that perception can change with just one video.”

“You are overlooking the meaning of the video. People with good skills can immediately tell that something is special just by looking at it.”

“It’s true that it’s good news.”

“Yes. It has become easier to make decisions under favorable conditions. Since this is my specialty….”

“Please take care of me.”

“Is there anything else I should take into account when accepting a request? “Please speak comfortably.”

“The highest priority will be requests coming from Germany or South Africa.”

“all right.”

Yerin Lee did not specifically ask why.

Not being more curious than necessary is also one of the virtues of a competent intermediary.

If you have personal curiosity, you can do your own research. There is no need to reveal it.

“Can we talk about something else for a moment?”

“yes I’m okay. “I also get requests for dates and things like that.”

“That’s not it.”

“…Take a joke!”

“I met Ayane. I was given permission to talk about this. “I also received permission from Yerin Lee to talk about myself.”

“wait a minute.”

Yerin Lee paused the conversation for a moment and called somewhere.

Kang-hu could immediately tell who the call was from. Of course it must be Ayane.

It was an expected reaction. Some of them said it with the intention of saying it out loud.

What if Lee Ye-rin started talking about Ayane just because Kang-hoo got permission from Ayane?

I would have doubted her qualifications. Because it means you don’t know the weight of the intermediary.

But no.

“Ah yes. all right. Confirmed. Then, I assume you agree and will proceed if there is any connection.”

The conversation ended with mutual agreement and opinions being exchanged.

Yerin Lee continued talking to Kanghu again.

“It was a normal verification process, so I stopped talking for a while and made some phone calls. Are you okay?”

“of course.”

“It’s amazing that such coincidences happen. “As for the front door restriction, I arranged both, so that’s okay.”

“Going to Fukuoka from Japan was because it was unplanned.”

“That’s right. Ayane happened to be there at the request she received from me. “I guess fate is fate.”

“Thank you for saying hello late. “Before, even though we helped each other at the research center, we couldn’t say goodbye.”

Ganghu nodded.

“Ayane is the type of person who looks at hunters very strictly. “It shows its true value when it comes to finding a partner…”

Looking at Lee Ye-rin’s tongue-in-cheek reaction, it seems like she doesn’t usually have high eyesight. She continued.

“If you think you’ve found a really good hunter, your eyes will wander. “I’m in love with it in a good way.”

“You have a unique personality.”

“that’s right. Hunters without skills are treated as trash. A polite greeting? modesty? “There is no such thing.”

“Hmm…”

“The fact that Ayane is so interested in Kang-hoo means that she has acknowledged that her skills are different from others.”

“Ayane also has good skills.”

“that’s right. So I nod my head more. “It’s cool that you stole the heart of a picky hunter.”

“I didn’t really intend to steal it, but I had already given it all my attention.”

Kanghu laughed, recalling his meeting with Ayane in the liberated area of Fukuoka.

at that time.

Lee Ye-rin’s expression soon darkened slightly, as if the direction of her thoughts had changed, and she sat down in her chair.

“Among the overseas requests, I will ask for mutual consent for requests that can be linked to Ayane. Actually, that’s not what’s important today.”

It seemed like he knew what was going to be said, but Kanghu tilted his head, intentionally pretending not to know.

As for the expected ‘topic’.

This is because I think it would be better for her to realize and speak on her own rather than for Kang-hu to repeat himself.

That’s right.

“Today, I’m going to talk seriously to Mr. Kang-hoo about the Jeonghwa Guild. “I hope you listen carefully.”

It was a story about her antipathy toward the Jeonghwa guild, which reminded her that her fate was progressing as the original story did.
