Episode 236: The Sea of Tranquility (1)
* * *
It was some time later that Kang Hu met Jeon Se-hyuk’s team again.
This was to allow time for Jeon Se-hyuk’s team to collect and organize the loot they had obtained.
There was a thorough division of labor, and as each person achieved what they wanted, mutual satisfaction was high.
Jeon Se-hyuk first obtained Kang-hu’s consent and sent a hunter to retrieve Go Kyeong-ho’s body.
He also announced his intention to buy Go Kyung-ho’s belongings from Kang Hu. Of course, only those that Kang-hu is willing to sell.
The reason was simple.
This is because I planned to post Go Kyung-ho’s belongings, the evil deeds he committed while alive, and photos to announce his death.
There would be no better topic to instill fear in Eclipse.
No one could say that it was an insult to the deceased.
A person who should be dead has died, so why not applaud and welcome him instead? To that extent, Go Kyung-ho was ‘human trash’.
so.
Kang-hoo sold everything to Jeon Se-hyuk except for the items he would use as suggested.
The amount received as payment after appraisal was 45 billion won. A balance of 308 billion won is recorded in the bank account. That’s a crazy amount.
After completing the looting of the Pyeongtaek branch and treating the wounded, Jeon Se-hyuk’s team rejoined Kang-hoo and shared the results of the battle. This is the last confirmation before parting ways.
“That’s amazing, Mojo. “I never thought I could help Go Kyung-ho.”
“me too. In my mind, Mojo said he would stop that, but I didn’t expect him to kill me at all.”
Hunters on the team rushed to praise Kanghu for his performance.
They were people who would immediately shake their heads if you asked them if they were confident they could compete with Go Kyung-ho one-on-one.
It is true that he is a hunter who is sincere in his revenge and attack on Eclipse. It is also important to judge reality calmly.
Right now, Jeon Se-hyuk also faced Go Kyung-ho once before, and the result was a draw.
“Thank you for your hard work. The most important puzzle was Go Kyung-ho, and Mojo did a great job solving it.”
Jeon Se-hyuk offered to shake hands again.
Even though I wasn’t particularly impressed by other hunters’ compliments, I always felt good whenever I heard Jeon Se-hyuk’s compliments.
This may be because we know how sincere he was in seeking revenge on Eclipse in the original work.
It felt like we were decorating a page of history together.
“Mojo op… you’re the best!”
Ban Se-young, who had called him by his nickname and was unconsciously trying to call him Oppa, quickly changed his mind.
Just before battle.
There was one thing Jeon Se-hyuk said to Ban Se-young, who was worried.
– Shin Kang-hoo is not a variable for us, but a constant. Trust me. He always does more than what he believes.
Ban Se-young believes in Kang-hoo’s skills more than anyone else, but I still thought it would be difficult to reach Go Kyung-ho.
But it was unlucky.
Once again, Ban Se-young was thankful that Kang-hoo was not a member of Eclipse.
What if you met Ganghu as your enemy? Either he would have run away by now, or he would have died before he could.
“Thank you all for your hard work.”
Kanghu greeted everyone politely.
Then Jeon Se-hyuk smiled and looked at the burning Pyeongtaek branch and said.
“Now Eclipse will no longer trust each other. “It was known that there was an insider in the Pyeongtaek branch, which was formed two years ago.”
“Once again, I am reminded of the importance of patience. “It must not have been an easy task.”
“That’s right. Would it be correct to say that it is a virtue of having good friends? ha ha ha.”
Jeon Se-hyuk’s smiling face revealed his gratitude and trust in Lee Hyun-seok.
Although Kang Hu finished this battle, it was Lee Hyun-seok who marked the beginning.
As Jeon Se-hyuk said, there is no guarantee that there will be insiders only in the Pyeongtaek branch.
An organization where trust is broken is likely to collapse due to internal strife.
Even more so, if Eclipse is a group and den of criminals, they will point their swords of suspicion at each other even more.
Jeon Se-hyuk continued.
“Because of this incident, the balls of those Eclipse guys are going to shrivel up. “We plan to modify our strategy for the time being.”
“I have a vague idea of what the strategy is.”
I can see Jeon Se-hyuk’s thoughts.
It was probably like they were attacking from the outside to the inside, as if they were tightening Daejeon.
It seemed likely that they would turn around and attack Eclipse’s satellite organization in the province.
The list must have already been done. There will be help from Lee Hyun-seok, and Park Dong-jae has information.
“Mr. Mojo. Could you please join us next time? Oh, of course I won’t suggest it bare-mouthed.”
“As long as it is clear that it is coming and going.”
“great. I’ll contact you again. Now then, we’ll head straight south!”
Jeon Se-hyuk waved his hand widely and gave a hand signal indicating retreat.
Ban Se-yeong looked back at Kang-hoo several times, as if he was disappointed at the quick separation from Kang-hoo, and then followed Jeon Se-hyuk.
There’s a lot I want to say, but I can’t officially call him ‘Ganghu’, so I’m reluctant to say anything.
Instead, I sent a message to my smartphone.
– I did a good job this time, but it’s a shame my brother couldn’t see it! Next time, I’ll show you really well!
– yep.
Kanghu’s answer was concise.
I don’t think there’s anything more to say.
Wouldn’t this answer be enough?
* * *
After a while.
Kang Dong-hyeon, who received a report on the ‘incident’ that occurred at the Pyeongtaek branch, put a cigar in his mouth.
Every time he opened his mouth, acrid smoke enveloped the face of the executive who brought the report.
The executive desperately held back his coughing and sneezing.
Now, Kang Dong-hyun’s judgment will be completely distorted. If you offend him, you will immediately go to the underworld.
The executive’s name is Lim Jeong-wan.
He was Eclipse’s sixth-ranking executive and had just returned to Korea yesterday.
A master of dual swordsmanship, he was also one of the few talented people that Kang Dong-hyun cherished and recognized.
“Hmm…”
Contrary to Lim Jeong-wan’s expectations, who thought he would be extremely angry, Kang Dong-hyun seemed to suppress his emotions as much as possible by only slightly frowning his eyebrows.
Lim Jeong-wan remained silent.
It’s best not to be presumptuous until he speaks first. It is a learned fear.
just as expected.
As Lim Jeong-wan stood silently, Kang Dong-hyun spoke first.
“What are the Fortuna guild trends?”
“Isn’t it a war between Cheonjoguk hunters? The case is so large that it cannot even be compared to that in Korea. “500 hunters died in one day.”
“It must have been a shame that my study abroad ended early. “I kind of wish you were in America a little longer.”
“no. I thought I was only receiving help and eating foreign food, unable to help the captain. “Now is the time to return the favor.”
“This incident. “How can I see it?”
“….”
“Speak comfortably. I’m not asking to get into trouble with your words. “You are reasonable.”
“I’ll be honest with you.”
“okay. say it.”
“Once you look at the situation, I think you were caught off guard. Even Go Gyeong-ho is dead.”
“uh. “I was completely screwed.”
Whoa whoa.
The amount of smoke Kang Dong-hyun inhales is unusual.
He could have kept it in his mouth and spit it out, but he just swallowed the acrid smoke.
“The Pyeongtaek branch itself is not that big, so I think we can make up for the personnel loss. “The problem is symbolism.”
“In short?”
“This is bad news for our organization. There is also the fact that the meaningful branch that first expanded its power was hit. After all, there was an insider, right?”
“Fuck you.”
Kang Dong-hyun immediately got angry at the word insider and swore.
Lim Jeong-wan changed the topic.
“In Hunter Gram, Jeon Se-hyuk is drawing aggro as if he killed Go Kyung-ho. “The captain will know better than that.”
“I checked the CCTV footage. “He was inside the Pyeongtaek branch when Go Kyung-ho died.”
“Someone moved into the separate building. But that special unit cut and killed Go Kyeong-ho, who was level 400, in the middle. “There is someone scarier than Jeon Se-hyuk.”
“What kind of bastard is this? Did Lee Hyun-seok move it himself? No, if we had, we would have known first.”
“The priority is to find out who that guy is. Finding insiders or destroying symbolism is a matter of later. “If you are strong enough to kill Go Kyeong-ho, even the captain is in danger.”
“It goes without saying that you too.”
“yes. Clearly, ‘that guy’ is someone who moves like Jeon Se-hyuk. “We have to find it quickly.”
“It’s getting bigger and bigger.”
In the end, Kang Dong-hyun could not control his boiling anger and drank the vodka that had been filled with ice.
The mysterious entity that killed Go Kyung-ho.
He is the key to this case.
What if Go Kyung-ho was killed without any time to escape?
It can be said that he is a guy who can kill any number of Eclipse executives, let alone himself.
He must not be an easy guy.
at that time.
A voice call came through Hunter Gram’s secure account.
Although the sound quality was not very good, Hunter Gram was a frequently used voice call system due to its closed nature.
The other person’s account name was made up randomly, so I couldn’t pinpoint who it was, but it was obvious who would be contacting me.
When Kang Dong-hyun gave a quick glance, Lim Jeong-wan immediately left.
After he left, Kang Dong-hyun contacted me.
“yes.”
– grow.
“Brother Yuuji?”
– uh.
“What’s going on?”
– What do you think is going on?
Every single word Yuuji said was full of sharpness.
Kang Dong-hyun was fully aware of the reason as it was not that he had not heard the news from Japan.
“It’s as expected.”
– I’m planning to go to Korea. I want you to clear a path. Because official entry into the country is difficult.
“It is possible.”
– You said you didn’t like this guy named Shin Kang-hoo, right? You said you wanted to kill me, right? I will kill you.
The moment he heard Yuuji’s words, Kang Dong-hyun’s face lit up.
In fact, I was waiting for this answer.
Due to Yuuji’s personality, he must have a strong desire to get revenge on Ganghu, who gave him a hard blow.
What Yuuji suffered from Kanghu was not only a deep wound to his body, but also to his pride.
Deep inside, I hoped Yuuji would come forward quickly, but it looks like he’s going for revenge as soon as his body recovers.
“Please come. “I will build the road.”
-What is the deposit?
“What is the deposit? My older brother is coming in, so of course my younger brother has to make way for him. “We will contact you shortly.”
– I will definitely kill that bastard, so just wait. It would be better if you know where it is.
“yes. All right.”
The call was soon disconnected.
Kang Dong-hyun laughed again.
“Shin Kang-hu…”
This guy gets angry just by repeating his name.
How strong and long has the evil relationship that began in the Cheongmyeong concentration camp continued?
Because of this guy, my favorite subordinate died and I also sacrificed my first strategy for the Limitless Mana Dungeon.
In fact, the incident of that day was treated as a dark incident among my subordinates.
It is natural for such a reaction to occur since a man who is apparently the leader of an organization missed an intruder right in front of his eyes.
There were many things that were held back by Kang-hoo as much as Jeon Se-hyuk, so it was great when Yu Woo-ji stepped up.
The saddest thing about skill and sharpness is the arrival of a Japanese raw fish knife.
The picture seemed like it would be fun to draw.
