The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All Chapter 42

Episode 42 Condemnation (2)

* * *

From the moment Kang-hu’s words were coldly uttered, hell began for Jo Gu-bin.

Jo Gu-bin, whose muscles and nerves essential for battle were severed, was no different from a living corpse.

Even if he wanted to slightly twist his wrist to aim at Kang-hu, his hand had been used so that even that was impossible.

“What the f*ck…!”

When Jo Gu-bin saw Kang-hoo’s video call showing him in real time on the screen, he screamed.

He did not realize that the other person was the father of the child he had kidnapped and killed.

“He is the father of the child you killed. “Even if you want to die, you can’t die until you apologize for your mistakes.”

“Fuck this bird… Wow!”

Before Jo Gu-bin could finish the words he shouted in anger, Kang-hu’s dagger cut his Achilles’ heel once more.

Not only did my feet lose all their strength, but the pain was so intense that I couldn’t stand it at all.

The problem was that, as Kang-hu said, the wound was not serious enough to kill him.

His father, who was somewhere on the other side of the screen, was constantly shedding tears as he watched Jo Gu-bin like that.

It may be because I keep thinking of my precious daughter who lost her life to a bug as bad as that.

Even though there were many parts where Kang-hu’s emotions were numb, he was not unaware of his father’s sorrowful heart.

I feel it.

Even though I want to give up everything right now, my heart holds on like a superhuman for my daughter.

“It’s up to you to cooperate or not. “But it’s not up to you whether to writhe in pain or not.”

wickedness!

“Woah!”

Another wound occurred.

This time, I drew deeper inside the armpit.

I hoped it would feel like a burning pain.

Jo Gu-bin struggled.

If there were no way to become insensitive to pain, this pain would be maddening.

“….”

Kang-hoo looked down indifferently at Jo Gu-bin’s left leg, where blood was flowing down.

There is some bleeding. Of course, it wasn’t as bad as I thought.

This is because of the characteristics of blood flowering.

The moment when an explosion occurs through blood.

It has the effect of temporarily drying out the injured area. It is hemostasis, not hemostasis.

Of course, later the wound opens again and blood flows, but the bleeding stops in the short term.

Jo Gu-bin’s condition was exactly like that right now.

At this level, it will take some time before excessive bleeding occurs.

“You will end up apologizing. It’s just a matter of how you die. Jo Gu-bin.”

Ganghu imbued the dagger he was holding with flame properties.

Now is the time to experience the pain of being burned by fire and being torn by metal.

I have no intention of becoming a torture expert, but I thought it was appropriate for a human ‘waste’ like Jo Gu-bin.

And from then on, Jo Gu-bin’s lonely journey, which would take him a long way toward death, began.

* * *

10 minutes later.

“Oh, father… I’m sorry… I killed your daughter. really. I’m so sorry… Cough!”

Jo Gu-bin coughed up a handful of blood and apologized to the child’s father.

Whether it was sincere or not didn’t matter to Kang Hu or his father.

It was important that Jo Gu-bin felt a pain worse than dying, writhing in pain at the threshold of death.

– Now… that’s it. Hyemin must have heard it too. I believe it was.

“I will notify the mercenaries where this guy is lying dead. You can take care of it later and do whatever you feel comfortable with.”

– Thank you. Thank you so much… I am so grateful that you have done what the Hunter Metropolitan Police and the law could not.

“I simply did what I was asked to do. “I sincerely pray that your daughter rest in peace.”

These words were sincere.

Even though he was indifferent to death, he did not take the death of a child lightly.

– I will never forget grace. thank you

That’s how the video call ended.

Since the video was recorded just in case, there should be no problem in receiving the request fee.

Now, in terms of requests, my business with Jo Gu-bin is over.

All that’s left is to deal with him and take the items he has.

It is a kind of trophy.

“Jo Gu-bin.”

“You bastard… Cough! Cough!”

“Now that you’ve gotten your money’s worth, you can give it up.”

Phew!

“…!”

Jo Gu-bin, who had literally fulfilled the meaning of the request, was no longer of any use to Kang-hoo.

So I stuck the dagger deep into the back of his neck.

I didn’t forget to link up with a major decapitation to send it with a sure hit.

This is because I don’t want to leave even the slightest chance of saving my life.

Just like that, Jo Gu-bin met his end on the cold floor with his eyes wide open.

【The target was killed and the contract with the ‘Ice Witch’ was stolen.】

【The target was killed and the contract with the ‘Frantic Killer’ was stolen.】 The

number of constellations increased by two.

In addition to the fire attribute, I unexpectedly gained abilities related to the ice attribute.

Of course, since there are no magic skills related to freezing, there will be no dramatic change in effect.

You will have a lot of fun using the counter attribute Freeze against monsters that specialize in fire.

Attribute-related abilities are always good to have.

Especially as you get closer to the world of top hunters.

【A trash-like constellation has arrived. I think this guy needs some special training.】

The Dimension Stealer expressed his displeasure.

Isn’t this the constellation that is disrupting the world of constellations?

Of course, it’s someone you don’t want to deal with.

after.

All of Jo Gu-bin’s items were quickly recovered.

They took off all the clothes they were wearing and threw the naked man in front of a nearby tree.

Respect for the dead?

Since Jo Gu-bin was not worthy of receiving such courtesy in the slightest, Kang-hu did not pay any attention to him.

First of all, I stored items that were difficult to wear or were not needed in a separate backpack.

The estimated valuation is 1 billion won.

That’s a lot of money.

It was probably an item taken from the back of a hunter who lived here earlier.

Kanghu only wore one item.

【Strong fighting spirit – Ring】

【Grade: 4th grade】

【Strength +100】

【You can increase your stats by wearing a ring, but it can also be permanently absorbed into your body.】 “

If necessary, we can free up a spot for the item . “It means there is.”

The strong fighting spirit ring was, if we were to classify it, an ’embodiment item’.

What this means is that the item can be converted into a form that the body can absorb, depending on the need.

These embodied items provide a solution to later difficulties in wearing them due to overlapping parts.

However, since it was not urgent for the ring to be absorbed, I decided to wear it for now.

Just as I was finishing organizing, I received a video call from Yerin Lee.

It seemed like it was probably a matter of settling the bill for this request.

The story must have been told through the client.

“yes.”

– Thank you for your hard work. I received a call and confirmed the contents. Are you hurt anywhere?

“As you can see.”

Kanghu showed his entire body on the screen.

Except for a little bit of Jo Gu-bin’s blood, Kang-hu’s body was spotlessly clean.

– That’s really great, Seongyu. The success rate of the request is 100%, and the progress speed is also the fastest among the clients I deal with.

“Is that so?”

– yes. Usually, when it comes to tracking down criminals or finding missing hunters, the basic unit is the moon.

“I guess it’s been a month?”

– Yes! You don’t know where he is or how he’s hiding, right? I never imagined that the request would be completed so quickly.

Lee Ye-rin on the screen was constantly sticking her tongue out.

It was as if there was a reasonable suspicion that Kang-hoo had a navigation system for the target of the request.

Isn’t that right?

The only clue is that it was last discovered at Imjingang Station.

Considering the vastness of Ground Zero and the dangers within, tracking it was no easy task.

Unless you have extensive knowledge and intuition to make predictions by looking at the board in advance.

“Anyway, I handled it well. “Removing the body is not under my jurisdiction, so you can discuss it yourself.”

– all right! ah! My father gave me additional compensation. The total would be 2.5 billion won.

“Ohh.”

The originally planned amount was 1 billion won.

Additional compensation was promised if their daughter’s belongings or body were found, but unfortunately there was no trace of it.

However, my father gave me an additional 1.5 billion won as a token of gratitude.

With this level of wealth, it would not have been difficult to identify who it was, but I had no intention of doing so.

It’s because I don’t think we’ll ever meet again.

I avenged my child and that was enough.

* * *

That time.

Cha So-hee was looking at the information gathered in her office.

Eclipse’s base of activity was Daejeon Station, but their information sources were spread throughout the country.

Since he lived in the Cheongmyeong concentration camp, it is impossible to not know Kang Hu’s face.

Of course, when I first distributed information about Kang Hu’s appearance to informants all over the place, I had a vague feeling.

Because hunters don’t know where, when, or how they will go across the country.

The place or location could not be specified.

But things worked out well.

Personal information about Kang Hu was confirmed by an information source in Seoul.

The informant was a hunter who worked at Seoul Station and had access to CCTV inside and outside the station.

While he was looking at past CCTV, he discovered Kang-hoo.

The information was immediately delivered to Cha So-hee.

“The last thing I saw was waiting for a train inside Seoul Station. “If it was on the train at the time, it would be north.”

I had an idea where it went.

To the north is ground zero.

I don’t know why he went, but given the circumstances, the place he would have gone was Ground Zero.

It was confirmed on CCTV a day ago today.

In that case, there is a high possibility that you will run errands somewhere and come back to Seoul Station.

I don’t know when.

“What a rat.”

Cha So-hee gritted her teeth.

If it weren’t for the order to capture him alive from Kang Dong-hyeon, I would have wanted to kill him as soon as I found him.

Among the people who escaped the Cheongmyeong concentration camp, Kang Hu was the only one who was being tracked for such a long period of time.

The more you think about it taking up your time, the more jealous you become.

she called.

The recipient was Kang Dong-hyun.

I was contacted right away.

– Oh, Sohee.

“It’s Seoul Station.”

– Looks like he went that way, right?

“It was confirmed at Seoul Station yesterday. “I’m not sure, but I think it went toward ground zero.”

– The guy who escaped the concentration camp goes to Ground Zero not long after… What a guy he is.

“Do you get compliments?”

– Hehe. What needs to be praised should be praised. This guy could become your colleague someday.

“Anyway, I’ll be waiting at Seoul Station. “I will catch you right here and take you away.”

– Just bring him back alive. I want to take a closer look at what kind of guy he is.

“I will risk my life to take you, so you know that.”

– okay. Just keep it alive. Bring it with you.

The call was soon hung up.

“Shit!”

Cha So-hee, whose face was red, pushed the chair back and stood up.

I didn’t feel like a dog chasing a chicken, and I wanted to end the boring chase.

To be honest, with my current emotions, I felt like I would feel better if I blew my head the moment I faced him.

like that.

The witch chasing Kang-hu was getting closer and closer, narrowing the contact point, casting a dark shadow.
