The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All Chapter 68

Episode 68: Encounter with Kang Dong-hyun (1)

* * *

My thoughts were clear from the beginning.

Makes friends.

Lee Hyun-seok, who has a strong benefactor relationship as he owes his nephew’s life, will never be able to turn away the offer.

The proposal started with a small issue of one tea time, but Kang-hoo intended to build a relationship there.

“Is that okay?”

“If you could meet someone like Lee Hyun-seok in private, it would be worth tens of billions of won, not billions of won.”

“haha. I hadn’t even thought of this suggestion. “Isn’t it too little to pay for saving my nephew?”

Lee Hyun-seok’s words were what Kang-hu was aiming for. It makes him feel sorry and indebted to him.

That becomes the driving force that allows the relationship to continue without being broken.

“It depends on what you think, right?”

“great. “Then let’s have a cup of tea as soon as possible and have a more constructive conversation.”

“thank you.”

“Verbal promises mean nothing, so I’ll give you this.”

What Lee Hyun-seok took out from his pocket and handed to Kang-hu was a small nameplate called ‘Blood Token.’

A certificate with the symbol of the abyss engraved on a red background and Lee Hyun-seok’s signature engraved on it.

If you have this, you can make an appointment to meet him at any time and you can talk alone.

Usually, blood tokens are only given to people who are close friends, but this is what I received.

Perhaps Jeon Se-hyuk also has a blood token. Because I have a close relationship with Lee Hyun-seok.

“I’ll contact you soon.”

“Here’s your number.”

Hyunseok Lee held out his business card.

It was his personal number.

Looking at the business card that was even framed in gold, it seemed like it was probably a one-on-one contact information.

What this means is that it is a number that is individually given only to people who really need to give it to them.

What if the ending number of the phone number given to Kang-hoo with the business card was 0001?

The number given to the next person to receive the business card is 0002.

In this case, if the number 0001 is leaked to the outside world, it will definitely be Ganghu’s fault.

In short, Lee Hyun-seok showed trust in Kang-hoo and at the same time tested his trust.

If someone else calls the number on this business card, trust in Kang-hoo will be lost immediately.

“I’ll contact you soon.”

“Thank you. “I will thoroughly educate Soohyun so that she can formally say thank you and apologize in person next time.”

“You don’t have to, but it’s not a requirement.”

Kanghu smiled and answered.

Anyway, this is how I created a clear link with Lee Hyun-seok.

To be alone with a man that any decent hunter would have a hard time meeting, let alone seeing up close.

The more I interacted with people of great strategic value, the more I felt like I could plan for the future.

‘Now I have to go to Daejeon Station.’

Kanghu’s eyes turned to KTX Pohang Station.

Now it’s time to take the train to Daejeon Station.

Club Hades. To find the secrets of the 7th floor underground.

* * *

That time.

Shin Jun-ho, the leader of the Black Bone Corps, met the man he had summoned in a hurry and was pouring out words in a voice full of anger.

“It doesn’t matter what the gloves are. It’s a bitch who stole. If you investigate, you’ll find out, so that’s okay too. “But I really want to catch and kill this bastard.”

“First of all, you won’t be able to tell who it is just by looking at the video…”

The man who heard Shin Jun-ho’s words nodded with his arms crossed.

Unlike Shin Jun-ho, who covered more than half of his face with a skull mask, the man had no such disguise.

Instead, his face looked a little strange.

Does it feel like there is no facial expression or focus? It was like looking at the fake face of an emotionless machine.

People who knew this man, including Shin Jun-ho, called him by the nickname ‘Resolver’ rather than his name.

Request success rate 99%.

Although the remuneration was high, once entrusted to him, he was a talented person who would always get an answer to any request.

Shin Jun-ho continued.

“I want to catch this baby who helped me for two years. “It’s not that I want to kill you, but I’m really curious about your abilities.”

“It disappeared from this location out of the liberation zone at once.”

“yes. It disappeared without even a trace. “After that, nothing was caught on CCTV in the liberated area.”

Shin Jun-ho had both anger and interest in the mysterious masked man.

After understanding the situation before and after, it seems clear that he has the skill to travel enormous distances.

The constellation that Shin Jun-ho signed was able to absorb some of the abilities and skills by eating the hunter’s human flesh.

That means that if you find Ganghu and ‘eat’ him, you can gain the ability to move through space.

Then, I thought it wouldn’t matter if I lost the grade 2 armor item.

That’s why Kang-hoo’s ability to save Min Soo-hyeon was of great value.

This is because the ability to manipulate time and space is more valuable as it has greater impact.

The troubleshooter, who had vaguely grasped the flow and context of the previous situation, opened his mouth.

The fact that he only moved his mouth minimally to make a voice gave off a distinctly inhuman and foreign feeling.

“First of all, it will be difficult with existing repairs.”

“Anyway, you damn money demon…”

“I decide whether to accept the request or not. “I don’t think that’s a good answer.”

“Let’s hear why it is difficult with the existing compensation. why?”

“You don’t have any information about the man at all. “Except for the ability to move through space, there are no known abilities.”

“Our Black Bone Corps will provide support anyway, but you’re saying that won’t help?”

“It’s useless.”

If another hunter had said this to Shin Jun-ho, his head and the ground would have been deep kissing right away.

This was not the case because he was famous for his skills and at the same time was a troubleshooter who helped the Black Bone Group quite a bit.

Shin Jun-ho spoke as if he had resigned himself.

“okay. “What can I do for you?”

“Remuneration is a down payment. “I will give you a quote, so please deposit first.”

“okay. “Sure.”

“for a moment.”

As the fixer walked slowly along the spot where Kang-hu stayed, he closed his eyes and felt something.

The fixer had the ability to follow and communicate with traces of mana. It is also a kind of spiritual ability.

Although it is an ability that comes from a constellation, it also has an innate nature, so the synergy was really good.

“haha.”

The fixer made an interesting expression.

It seemed. The traces and intensity that Kang-hoo left behind on this place.

“What do you see?”

“A very trustworthy constellation is watching your back. What’s scary is that this guy isn’t afraid of that constellation.”

“Are you crazy?”

“There is a difference between crazy and great. I feel like it’s the latter. Sounds fun. It sounds like fun…”

The sight of the troubleshooter expressing curiosity while smiling a rotten smile was like looking into the uncanny valley.

Shin Jun-ho also sensed early on that the man who rescued the woman was not ordinary.

It worked out better.

You can use this as an opportunity and use that ability steadily when the problem solver catches him.

It has always been that way, and that was the driving force that made Shin Jun-ho the leader of the Black Bones.

At the same time, it is also the reason why the Liberated District of Gimcheon fell into the hands of the Heukgoldan.

“I feel a strong attraction.”

The corner of the solver’s mouth, who had always been expressionless, smiled.

It was a smile that was never seen unless someone had the scent of an interesting strong person.

This is because Shin Jun-ho knows very well how talented the hunter that the solver was interested in was.

He too was intrigued by the suddenly changed expression on the solver’s face.

What kind of guy is this?

“Please deposit the money. “I’ll chase after you right away.”

The problem solver was already very busy.

* * *

“Maybe because I visited the liberation zone, Daejeon Station seems like a safe area where you can sleep with your feet stretched out.”

Kang-hu, who arrived at Daejeon Station, burst into laughter at the sight of the scenery, which looked decidedly safer(?) compared to the liberated area.

It really was.

It was not difficult to see the body of the hunter who died shortly after entering the liberation area.

At least there were no bodies in front of Daejeon Station. Of course, there were quite a few hunters who growled.

In particular, it was not difficult to find the Eclipse hunters.

‘Hades is now under Eclipse’s control, so it’s definitely a bit difficult to approach…’

Still, I wanted to go.

A limitless mana dungeon where an enormous amount of mana is the key to entry.

If it is a dungeon that has been discovered but no one has been able to enter, there will be quite a lot of benefits that can be gained within it.

Once I got in, getting out was no problem.

This is because Ganghu has the constellation ability to move through space.

It is an ability that performs well enough to be considered the reason why other constellations cannot replace Dimension Stealer.

Right then.

A phone call came in.

I never said I was coming to Daejeon Station, but was it just a woman’s intuition?

“Yes, Seoyeon.”

It was a call from Han Seo-yeon.

* * *

I was invited to her house.

It was her house that he frequented frequently when they were dating, so there was nothing awkward from Kang-hu’s perspective.

I wondered why the call came out of nowhere, but there was a reason. She was officially recruited into the Purification Guild.

In other words, his skills were recognized by the satellite guild ‘Hae-e-hwa’ and he became a kind of scout.

In terms of professional sports, being called up from the 2nd team to the 1st team is understandable.

I completely understood her joy, but from Kang-hu’s point of view, I thought it was a twist of fate.

My ex-girlfriend belongs to an organization that will be my biggest enemy. Even if it gets twisted, can it still get twisted like this?

‘There’s no need to make things complicated. It’s not like you have to fight with Seoyeon all the time.’

I decided to worry about what happened then.

After entering Han Seo-yeon’s house, Kang-hu took off his coat and drank the glass of carbonated water she gave him.

As I was drinking the tea to cool it down because I was thirsty, she smiled and started the conversation.

“I feel like my brother has changed a lot since I haven’t seen him. “I can feel the strong power of mana here too.”

“Lip service has improved.”

“no! I really felt that way. You know it too. “I react quite sensitively.”

“Of course.”

“It’s completely different from the feeling I had with my brother when I escaped from the Cheongmyeong concentration camp. I feel like I’ve gotten stronger. “That’s a lot.”

“A lot happened.”

Ganghu nodded, remembering the past time. It is clear that a lot has happened.

The changes experienced during the process seemed to be visible to people close to them.

Even when she was dating, Han Seo-yeon read every single look in her eyes and even the subtle flow of emotions.

I thought it wouldn’t be strange for her to notice changes since she’s so sensuous.

“I thought you wouldn’t come.”

“why?”

“Because my brother always tries to keep his distance. “Then this house is the most uncomfortable place for you, right?”

“What if we think differently? “It’s a place without any inconvenience if you don’t have to worry about the distance.”

“Are you telling me not to come any closer?”

“It means we just have to remember that we are good friends.”

Han Seo-yeon, who heard Kang-hu’s words, shook her head and took a sip of cold water as if resigned.
