The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All Chapter 258

Episode 258: Versatility (3)

Since he felt there was no need to say it again, Ganghu spoke out loud.

“Dongjae.”

“uh?”

“Tell this to the famous guild. “Be careful of Haeyoung’s guild.”

“If it’s the Haeyoung Guild… the guild based in Busan?”

“uh. There are signs that they are trying to target a famous guild there. “I will continue to prepare even at this moment.”

“really?”

“Think about it carefully. There are plenty of reasons why Haeyoung Guild will target prestigious guilds. it is not so?”

When Kang-hoo naturally turned Dong-jae Park’s direction so that he could think, Park Dong-jae nodded.

“That’s right! “Now that we have signed a cooperation agreement with the Purification Guild, we have become one, right?”

“yes.”

“It is also true that the purification guild is picky about the famous guild. But you can’t step on it openly, right?”

“huh.”

“It would be possible to borrow the sword of the Haeyoung guild and attack the famous guild. “This is a proper puzzle, right?”

“I saw it correctly.”

“Why didn’t I think of this? Yes, it would be even weirder if the Haeyoung guild wasn’t aiming for it!”

The brilliant Park Dong-jae was able to perfectly understand the situation just by slightly opening up his thoughts.

At this point, it would be easy for Park Dong-jae to spread the word to the famous guild and persuade them to be careful.

“You better be careful. Or did you keep a close eye on Haeyoung’s guild? “One of the two must be one.”

“Yeah, I guess I should. It is right to tap on the stone bridge before crossing it. “For now, that’s true.”

So the conversation ended well.

Park Dong-jae said that he has a schedule for conquering the next dungeon with the famous guild, so the story will be spread soon.

Unless the famous guild is insensitive to safety, they will be careful twice or thrice.

After finishing the meal like that.

Kang-hoo, who had the first flight, headed to Seoul, and Park Dong-jae saw him off. And promised the following.

* * *

– It seems that Shin Kang-hoo is making a deal with Master K.

This is information obtained after overpowering the safety limousine driver who took Shin Kang-hoo to Ground Zero.

– is it so?

– yes. Of course, having a connection with Master K is not something that is suspicious. They are also doing business with our guild.

– There are many cases where hunters purchase medicines or herbs directly from Master K.

– yes. It’s not common to go there in person, but that may be something to be cautious about on a personal level.

-Any other special features?

– I thought there might be a connection to the abyss, but there wasn’t one in this movement. Instead, there is one additional piece of information.

– What information is this?

– It seems like you are quite friendly with the Guru Guild. This time I went to Jeju Island. And we confirmed that it came back and we are tracking it.

– all right. Thank you for your hard work. Please keep up the good work. I’ll be waiting.

– yes. then.

Around the time when Kang Hu returned to Seoul.

Kim Hee-un was reporting through an internal security conversation using the Jeonghwa Guild-specific application.

The subject is Go Joo-hee.

Although Kim Hee-woon is Chae Gwan-hyeong’s direct subordinate, this matter falls under the jurisdiction of Gong Seok and Go Joo-hee.

I was reporting to them carefully. It was annoying, but I couldn’t help it. The hierarchy is absolute obedience.

Kim Hee-un was following Kang-hoo.

Through an informant in Jeju Island, it was confirmed that Kang Hu had a meeting with the Guru Guild.

So he was at Gimpo Airport just in time to depart from Jeju Airport again.

Because it was so crowded, even if you followed Ganghu in the crowd, it wouldn’t be noticeable.

In addition, there was no need to narrow the gap as the vision could be strengthened to see Ganghu even from a distance.

But Kang-hu’s movements were strange.

The route from the airport along the airport railway was towards Paju.

From what Kim Hee-un found, there was no place in Paju that could be of any connection or connection to Kang-hoo.

I came to Paju once when there was an attack on Hell of Judgment.

However, now was not the time to recruit external mercenaries, nor was the attack in progress.

So it was awarded.

There must be a good reason for choosing a location other than the usual destination.

I chased him from a really long distance.

If Ganghu had decided to run or jump, he might have missed it, but that didn’t happen.

There would be no need for a person who was unaware of the follow-up in the first place to rush their steps.

How much could it have been like that?

Kang-hoo’s steps became faster and he disappeared into an abandoned factory located near Paju Station.

‘Oh my…’

It seems like there is a secret hideout.

Since there is no dungeon, they may be trying to secretly trade drugs or something here.

No matter what I imagined, my curiosity arose because I felt like there must be some reason for wanting to hide it from the outside world.

So, just when I wanted to increase my movement speed a little more.

Faaah! Sigh!

“omg…!”

Kim Hee-un suddenly stopped at the cold sensation he felt in front of his uvula.

What touched my neck was the chill that can only be felt from cold metal.

When I looked down slightly, I saw a sharp-edged dagger completely touching my uvula.

“Who are you?”

“….”

Kim Hee-un didn’t answer.

Sssssssssssssshhhh!

“Kaaak!”

The dagger cut the skin where the uvula was without a moment of hesitation.

Because I controlled the force, it was at this level, but if the cut had been a little deeper, it would have killed me right away.

In other words, this was a warning.

I could have killed him as much as I wanted, but I didn’t do it intentionally.

“There is no second conversation. I’m not curious about who you are. “I wonder who sent it.”

“Shi… Xinganghu?”

Kim Hee-un asked again.

Even as he asked, Kim Hee-un thought that the current situation made no sense.

Apparently, just a moment ago, I saw Kang-hoo enter the abandoned factory.

But does it make sense for him to suddenly appear here, a few hundred meters away, and threaten his life?

of course.

Not only did it make sense from Kang-hoo’s perspective, but it was also the result of preparations from the moment he became aware of the follow-up.

I wasn’t aware of Kim Hee-un’s following from the beginning.

However, after acquiring the third eye constellation, Ganghu has been habitually using this eye these days.

There is no burden of using horsepower to install it, and when it disappears, you can just install it again.

Regardless of whether he felt suspicious or not, he always placed his third eye on the path he took.

Meanwhile, a hunter was discovered continuing to follow the path he had taken and looking in his direction.

So, they deliberately lured him to a location where there would be no problem if a battle broke out at any time, with few people around.

Considering that hunters rarely come to Paju in the first place.

It was easy to be sure that Kim Hee-un was following him just because he followed him up to this point.

“Why were you following me?”

Kim Hee-un was worried about Kang-hu’s question.

If he wanted to fight Ganghu here, he could have fought. You can escape by covering your entire body with a protective shield.

And after settling in, I thought it would be worth a try if we worked one-on-one.

However, the orders received from superiors were to be followed and information collected, but to refrain from armed conflict.

I am not talking about surprise attacks or assassinations. And now the situation was completely unfavorable to him.

The conclusion came right away.

“sorry. This is a person sent by the Purification Guild. “I was investigating Shin Kang-hoo!”

Kim Hee-un lowered his tail immediately and continued speaking.

“Our Purification Guild is very interested in Shin Kang-hoo, so they wanted to secretly obtain information.”

“Sent by the Purification Guild?”

“Yes that’s right.”

Kim Hee-un nodded, but at the same time, he bit his lip out of pride.

How on earth did they catch me following them? Also, how was it caught?

It’s not that there are eyes behind Kang-hu’s back.

Unless Kang-hoo has the ability to teleport.

It’s impossible for a picture to suddenly appear exactly behind you and openly aim for your neck.

He was well-versed in tailgating, so he received the favor of Chae Gwan-hyeong and the attention of the Jeonghwa guild.

It was unprecedented to be discovered like this and have your life threatened.

“I’m warning you. I definitely politely declined the offer from the Purification Guild. “I also said I didn’t want to belong anywhere.”

“….”

“Even though I fully expressed my intention, chasing after you only makes me think of an attempt on my life.”

“sorry.”

“I’ll end today with a warning, but next time you’re caught following me, you’d better be prepared to die. Also said above. “Let’s respect each other’s manners.”

“…All right.”

Slurp.

As soon as he finished speaking, Kang Hu disappeared.

Kim Hee-un, who was freed from the pressure of the dagger, immediately followed Kang-hu’s traces, but could not confirm them.

It was ‘impossible’ to find Ganghu, who had hidden his presence by mobilizing all skills and item options.

* * *

That night.

Kang-hoo received a call from Lee Ye-rin while staying at the hotel he had booked in advance.

It was said that the German-related request schedule was in the final stage of coordination. The final notification will come within three days.

From Kang-hoo’s perspective, time has become a bit more difficult. This is because it was slightly delayed than expected.

“I did it just in case, but it still happened.”

Kang-hoo smiled bitterly, recalling what happened with Kim Hee-un during the day.

I had already thought that the Purification Guild would be following me.

It is also a method of obtaining information that is quite familiar to them. This is because there are many hunters who specialize in tailing.

Usually, such hunters were highly skilled because they worked directly under Chae Gwan-hyeong and received intensive training.

So when I first encountered Kim Hee-un, I was actually picturing a battle in my head.

However, Kim Hee-un immediately gave up. This is probably because the Purification Guild issued a separate order.

He would have been told to follow them, but to immediately reveal their purpose if a variable arises. It must have been Jang Si-hwan’s order.

“It was a situation where there wouldn’t be much left even if I killed him.”

Even if you kill Kim Hee-un, all you can do is steal the constellation from Kim Hee-un.

If that happens, it will be a perfect situation to stimulate not only Chae Gwan-hyung but also Jang Si-hwan.

If we had to fight, we would fight as much as we wanted, but since the follower had admitted his mistake, I wanted to rule out extreme situations.

Rather, instill fear and fear in Kim Hee-un.

I thought it would be a clearer message to warn Jang Si-hwan and Chae Gwan-hyeong through his own words.

They will go back and add more details by explaining the reasons for the failure of the follow-up and the scene where their life was threatened.

“Next time the same thing happens again, I will kill him because I have a clear justification.”

Ganghu came to his own conclusion.

And just by being followed, you can feel the interest of the Jeonghwa Guild in yourself.

I also thought that giving a proper warning this time could be a great appeal. In particular, Jang Si-hwan will be very curious.

“Anyway, the time appears…”

Kanghu quenched his appetite.

There is no official schedule to complete right now. The talisman case is not yet finalized, and the German case is in the final stage of discussion.

Since I have nothing to do for two and a half days, I was wondering what kind of schedule I should fill it with.

A place worth taking the time to visit came to mind. It was a place where I felt comfortable going alone.
