The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All Chapter 290

Episode 290: Apology (4)

* * *

It was after Kang Hu returned to the villa and started eating that his mouth naturally returned to its original state.

Warm rice and meat side dishes were prepared at the villa where we returned after following the old man.

I didn’t really want to eat anything, so I was thinking about eating cup ramen or something, but things changed.

“My daughter prepared hard. Enjoy your meal. “If you don’t look good at all…”

The old man pushed Kang-hu to the table and gave him a stinging look. The eyes are more humorous than scary.

“Please eat.”

Joo Hae-mi set Kang-hoo up with a cup of cool water she had just poured and left.

Kanghu asked.

“Master, have you eaten? “Can I eat it?”

“I prepared this for you to eat, you idiot. “We ate while you were still sleeping.”

When I looked in the direction of the sink, I saw dishes and cups that had been washed. It seems like quite a bit of time has passed.

“Then I will eat it gratefully.”

“That’s right. “You should be thankful.”

Kang-hu ate a spoonful of steaming white rice, leaving behind the glaring gaze of an old man.

‘it’s good.’

Maybe it was because I was eating it after hard training, but my mouth was watering even after just eating it.

The meat that Joo Hae-mi cooked was also very good because the seasoning was just right.

I wondered if this was my first home-cooked meal in a while.

After possessing Shin Kang-hu’s body, he lived a life that was far from a home-cooked meal.

Even when he was living the life of the original author, Kang-hoo’s staple food was instant food or delivery food.

Sometimes, if you eat ready-to-cook rice, it’s like a home-cooked meal. At least I didn’t eat it often.

“Master. “It’s really delicious.”

“Are you sure?”

“yes. “I can’t say empty words.”

“haha. “That’s right.”

The response that it was delicious probably made him feel better, so he sat across from Kang-hu.

Suddenly, he saw the old man looking at him with fierce eyes, and his body tightened.

He gestured for me to eat comfortably, but there was no way I could eat comfortably with his burning eyes in front of me.

But since he was more hungry than that, Kanghu scooped up another large spoonful of rice and put it in his mouth.

Now, just eating rice without a side dish is so delicious. There was no separate heaven.

The old man watched Kang Hu eating for a long time.

And after fully emptying the bowl, he spoke seriously.

“Ganghuya.”

“Yes, Master.”

“Your miasma is a learned and staged miasma. You can’t do that. “You need a spirit that comes from within.”

“….”

As if he was seeing through the fact that he was a possessor.

The thousand-year old monk said something meaningful. Learned directed miasma. Did he see it in his eyes?

It wasn’t wrong.

This is because it is a personality that is overlaid and synchronized while possessing the life of a character named Shin Kang-hoo.

It was not 100% pure miasma that was born with it. It is also a miasma ‘directed’ by the existence of Shin Kang-hoo.

Of course, Ganghu was not denying himself. I didn’t even think I was acting.

But if you asked me if this was your perfect true self, I couldn’t confidently say yes.

Although 98% of his appearance is Shin Kang-hu himself, 2% of his appearance reflects the life of the original author.

That became the driving force that made Kang-hu move in the gray border rather than the black border.

So, I was living somewhere where the line between good and evil was ambiguous.

“I understand what you mean.”

“For you, it is necessary to strengthen the flesh even more than the cancer of ‘assassination.’ “It will make you much stronger than you are now.”

“Yes Master.”

“I hope we stick to the emotions that can cause anger. Enemy revenge anger hatred etc. There are many emotions that can easily trigger you. But you shouldn’t get buried in those feelings.”

For now, Kang-hu understood the words of the Cheon-sal old man like this.

Rather than just viewing the other person as an experimental measurement object, you should really try to tear them to death.

A thousand-year-old old man added,

“Even if it cuts through the air, it contains the will to live.” “Forget such clumsy experiments.”

“Yes, I will engrave it again.”

“There will be no further training until I notice a change in your emotions. Do you understand?”

“Yes Master.”

“Then rest. I wash the dishes and then go up. “Because we each have to clean up what we eat.”

“Master, do you also wash the dishes that you eat?”

“It’s up to me to decide what to do. You’re stating the obvious. “Pathetic bastard.”

Leaving behind Kang-hoo, who had suddenly become a pitiful bastard, the old man clicked his tongue and headed to his room.

The table became quiet again.

When Kang-hoo saw the empty bowl of rice, he said something he had never said before.

“I need to have another bowl.”

Joo Hae-mi’s rice was truly the best.

* * *

Late at night.

Kang-hu, who was resting comfortably in his room, received a phone call.

Because it was quite far from civilization, the night was extremely quiet, so the vibrations were quite loud.

The sender was Jeon Se-hyuk.

“Yes, this is Shin Kang-hoo.”

– We have recruited trustworthy people inside the Cheongmyeong camp.

Knowing that Kang-hoo dislikes rhetoric, Jeon Se-hyuk started with the main point.

The Cheongmyeong concentration camp is currently one of Kang Hu’s biggest concerns, and he was just thinking about this issue.

“Can you tell me in more detail?”

– Do you know that Eclipse is currently interested in the Liberation Zone of Cheongju?

“No, I don’t know.”

It was not something I vaguely knew, but information I didn’t know at all.

There is a liberation zone in Cheongju. The scale is also as large as the Gimcheon Liberation District.

However, since the Cheongju Liberation District was already tightly controlled by the criminal organization ‘Black’, there were no elements of conflict.

There is an organization with a solid foundation, but Eclipse suddenly hits that place?

– It seems like Eclipse has been working hard to eat Cheongju Haebanggu for quite some time.

We recruited trustworthy people like us. And yesterday Black’s captain died.

“You mean the captain?”

– Your captain, Park Min-kwon, is dead. And the forces under Eclipse’s protection have taken control.

“Then it looks like Eclipse itself has moved quite a bit of staff.”

– you’re right. It seems that all the gang members who stayed in the southern Gyeonggi area and Cheonan have been removed.

It has not been completely taken over, so fighting is taking place within the liberated zone.

“In the meantime, one of the liberated districts is being eaten…”

– They must have taken a gamble because they felt that their power was shrinking one by one after losing the Pyeongtaek branch.

“I think so. From Kang Dong-hyun’s perspective, he would have needed an issue to resolve internal dissatisfaction.”

– yes. For that reason, not only Eclipse’s attention but also its concentration of power is focused on the Cheongju Liberation Zone.

“It seems that a significant number of internal personnel from the Cheongmyeong camp have also left.”

– The number of people was adjusted so that it would not be revealed, but the quality of the guards changed. Power also weakened.

“Hmm…”

According to Jeon Se-hyuk’s words, there was no better time to plan the Cheongmyeong concentration camp than now.

This is especially true since Eclipse is preoccupied with other things.

Moreover, until now, the Cheongmyeong camp has never been attacked from outside.

This is because Eclipse’s power was strong and there were many forces that were afraid of being defeated by them.

But not now.

Jeon Se-hyuk seemed to have realized the meaning of Kang-hoo’s pause in his words and continued speaking without hesitation.

– The Cheongan mercenaries and the Black Lion are already ready to move.

Of course, there is only one reason why I am saying this to Kanghu. I’m not asking you to move with us.

This means that it is okay to act alone, so please be aware of the existence of such movements in advance.

“You were considerate.”

– I would appreciate it if you could interpret it that way. It’s just a matter of what if.

If Kang-hoo removes the current camp leader, Jo Hwan-seong…

“What if he removes him?”

– When our alliance takes over the camp and secures ownership of the magic stone mine, we guarantee an 8% share of the net profits.

“It’s a plausible proposal, but it also feels like I’m walking a tightrope.”

– I don’t want you to overdo it. ha ha ha.

Cho Hwan-seong, commander of the Cheongmyeong concentration camp.

It is ranked 7th in Eclipse’s internal ranking.

He is a skilled man who freely uses a double-edged axe, and judging by his appearance alone, he belongs to the Jeonjongdu Majinho family.

Go Gyeong-ho, who died recently, was ranked 8th, so there is no doubt that he was a much stronger hunter than him.

Jo Hwan-seong.

He is a worthy opponent.

It is also true that he has become much stronger than when he faced Go Kyung-ho.

This is because Kang-hu has his own way of dealing with powerful characters like Jo Hwan-seong.

If he remembers correctly, the net profit from magic stone mining at the Cheongmyeong concentration camp was about 1 billion won per day.

If you count 30 days as a month, it becomes 30 billion won, and if 8% of it is guaranteed, it becomes 2.4 billion won per month.

It is by no means a small amount of money.

But Kang-hu wanted to be greedy for something bigger than money.

In fact, 2.4 billion won is money that Kang-hoo can earn in a few hours if he puts his mind to it.

“I’d like to make a counteroffer.”

– Shall we listen?

“Let’s reduce the profit guarantee to 4%.”

– hmm?

“Instead, once the coalition takes control of the Cheongmyeong concentration camp, please make sure to attack all dungeons inside at least once.”

– Are you looking to obtain a permanent license?

“no. “You just need to be able to attack them all once.”

There are a total of seven dungeons within the Cheongmyeong concentration camp.

Difficulty levels range from easy dungeons below the recommended level 100 to difficult dungeons above level 500.

What Ganghu was aiming for was a skill that could kill and rob the middle main boss monster of the dungeon.

If you catch just two guys in one place, you can steal a total of 14 skills. Definitely.

– Is that all you want?

“yes. Of course, we need a written culture rather than a verbal promise. “I don’t mind half the profits if it’s guaranteed.”

– Just a premise….

“Oh, I know. “At least I have to kill Jo Hwan-seong myself.”

How Jo Hwan-seong’s fight will go is something that will only be known when he meets him. You cannot know whether you will win or lose in advance.

However, there was evidence to say with confidence that Kang-hoo would be able to fight Jo Hwan-seong.

This is because no one is as familiar with the internal structure of the Cheongmyeong camp as Kang Hu.

For Shin Kang-hu, the ‘villain’ of the original work, the Cheongmyeong concentration camp was the cradle and mother of evil.

Because it was a stage that the original author put so much effort into creating, he knew all the secret spaces and passages inside.

In places where you need to escape, the available routes may be limited.

There were many routes that could be used by an attacker, that is, someone who had to infiltrate.

He probably knows a lot more about the space than the executives in the Cheongmyeong camp.

A situation where the entire camp is in the palm of your hand. Of course, I was confident about the level of penetration.
