The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 106

Episode 106 Master K (2)

* * *

In the car on the way to Ground Zero.

The farther I got from Seoul, the faster the surrounding scenery changed.

Unlike the bright and vibrant scenery of Seoul, which feels orderly, neat, and safe.

The streets were lined with broken streetlights, lots of asphalt pavement, and abandoned cars.

Of course, people live in places like this too. The exorbitant prices in Seoul are difficult for even the middle class to afford.

Hoping for every space in the world to be filled with light and happiness is too greedy.

From the beginning, the original ‘White Paper on the Life of a Villain Who Became a Savior’ was depicted as a world that was completely close to dystopia.

Since Kang-hu knew this better than anyone else, he didn’t have any false expectations.

Meanwhile.

Jeong Yu-ri, who was waiting to see if Kang-hu would speak first, pouted her lips.

Conversations with Kang-hoo were always such that he had to raise the topic himself.

Like last time, I only talk to him first if I have business to do. Otherwise, there is just no statue.

Coupled with the expressionless face, you sometimes mistake it for a mannequin or wax figure.

Looking at Kang-hoo from the side, I felt like I was seeing a man with many thoughts and sad stories.

From his tightly closed mouth, he feels a sense of loneliness, as if he is trying to carry a heavy burden alone.

She could instinctively feel his complex emotions hidden behind silence. There’s something about him.

That’s why I keep wanting to talk to Kang-hu, who has no talent for conversation.

“Mr. Jeong Seon-gyu?”

“huh.”

“I’ve been looking out the window since a while ago. Are you having a hard time?”

“No, not really.”

“brother. “You said that your brother also applied to recruit mercenaries from the Hell of Judgment this time, right?”

“huh. “The documents were reviewed.”

“I’m going too! “It is an invaluable opportunity for growth, and I thought I would use this time to expand my network.”

Kanghu tilted his head.

Since it is a strategy organized by the Jeonghwa Guild, there is a possibility that she will meet Chae Gwan-hyeong.

In some ways, he is like an enemy in her life who caused a great trauma to her, but is that okay?

Jeong Yu-ri continued speaking as if she had read Kang-hu’s thoughts.

“are you okay! I don’t think it would be a big deal if I saw Chae Gwan-hyung in person. “I practiced a lot of mind control and learned how to hide my emotions.”

“Are you really okay?”

“huh. I have a strong will to move toward a vibrant future rather than the difficult memories of the past! “It’s all thanks to my brother.”

“Some conclusions.”

“Really. “Even though I’m like this, I’m not good at saying empty words?”

“I don’t plan on moving as a team. “That’s how I submitted my application.”

“Yeah, that’s your choice. I’m not asking you to go together! “I was also interested in participating.”

“Prepare well.”

“That’s right! Oh, of course… I didn’t forget that. I will definitely take revenge. Until then, just be patient and wait. ”

Her last words revealed the pain that had been buried for a while in the fragments of her memories. You’ll have to endure it as hard as you can.

Anyway, after Jeong Yu-ri’s answer filled with firm determination, the inside of the limousine fell into a swamp of silence again.

The atmosphere in the car was as perfect as the damp-looking sky.

Yuri Jeong took out her wireless earphones, put them in her ears, and started listening to music.

This is the classical music that soothed her and made her feel less lonely when she was alone at Ground Zero.

Kanghu turned his gaze out the window again.

At the thought of meeting Master K in person, even Kanghu, who was rarely nervous, tensed up.

There were many indirect references to K in the original work.

However, it did not directly appear as the core of the story. This is because he had never met the main character, ‘Jang Si-hwan’.

‘I don’t want an answer. I just think it would be great if I could at least light the way.’

I hoped that at least some of the vagueness about congenital mana hypersensitivity would be lifted.

Even now, I can only tolerate the side effects and pain to some extent, but the fundamental problem has not been solved.

“brother. Don’t be too nervous. My grandfather thinks favorably of my brother. “I told you well.”

“okay.”

Even though I wasn’t going to meet my father-in-law, Jeong Yu-ri’s words somehow sounded strange.

Anyway, it looks like he was that nervous.

Kanghu took a deep breath and calmed down his excited emotions. Because it’s not an encounter you should feel intimidated by.

* * *

Even after arriving at Ground Zero, we went much deeper before arriving at K’s area.

The official name is ‘Yuri Land’.

The name contains a story, and it is said that K adopted Jeong Yu-ri and named it to commemorate this.

The name may seem childish at first glance, but it warms your heart when you hear the story.

The range was so wide that it was impossible to tell where K’s area extends.

K supplies many stimulants and therapeutic agents to the Hunter Public Security Agency and the Purification Guild.

In fact, since it is a large-scale supply that is close to a monopoly, it is understandable that the cultivation area is so wide.

Just taking a quick look around, the number of workers working inside seemed to be over 100.

In addition, there were a number of separately hired guards to ensure their safety.

Let’s get off in front of the main entrance.

A man with an expression as dull as Kang Hu walked over and said hello.

First, he bowed politely to Jeong Yu-ri and she greeted him warmly.

“Hyungseo! Long time no see?”

“Welcome, lady.”

“We’re the same age, so just call me Yuri!”

“The master I serve is a precious person, so this is unacceptable. “It is difficult to respond to that statement.”

“Anyway, we’re here! This is Seongyu oppa! “I am a guest who will meet my grandfather today!”

“okay. Nice to meet you. “My name is Hyeong-seo Moon.”

Kang Hu lightly received Moon Hyeong-seo’s nod. Otherwise, I didn’t ask for a handshake.

Hyungseo Moon.

It is an unfamiliar name to Kanghu.

From what I could see, he seemed to be a confidant who was unconditionally loyal to K. Perhaps there is a story here too.

“My brother-in-law is a friend that my grandfather and I trust more than ourselves. “You don’t have to be too careful, Oppa.”

Thanks to Jeong Yu-ri’s explanation, Moon Hyeong-seo’s characteristics were quickly understood.

Probably no one except K, his wife, and Jeong Yu-ri would look at him with kind eyes.

Usually, these single-minded henchmen are suspicious of everyone in the world. Considered a potential enemy.

Moreover, Kang-hu, who came as a guest, could not have been an exception.

Sure enough, Hyeong-seo Moon pointed the detector he brought with him straight at Kang-hoo.

“We have security procedures in place. We will take a separate photo and you will be asked to leave all weapons.”

“However much.”

Ganghu nodded.

I actually wanted to applaud K for doing a good job of thoroughly checking on outsiders.

Loose management creates loopholes and these become variables.

What if K is kidnapped to a foreign country or falls into the hands of a criminal organization?

From then on, the domestic herbal supply landscape will change. Ground zero will also become Muju Gongsan.

The progress took place quickly.

The photo shoot was immediately completed by the camera installed at the entrance, and Kanghu left the weapon he was holding for a moment.

There wasn’t much to say throughout the search, so I thought things would proceed quietly.

In the middle of the conversation, Moon Hyeong-seo glanced at Kang-hu and added what he couldn’t say before.

“I tell you this out of anger, but please do not show even the slightest disrespect to Master K. “You understand, right?”

“I think it’s up to Master K to decide whether it’s rude or not. “You really are an old woman.”

Kang-hoo smiled and accepted the warning that he seemed to have slightly crossed the line.

A henchman with such a single-minded nature has a narrow perspective, so he often commits rudeness.

Of course, I don’t know. So it often becomes a problem. It can even escalate into a fight.

“I’m telling you to be careful.”

“I’ll give it back exactly as it was said.”

I accepted it without backing down.

Jeong Yu-ri suddenly reads that the atmosphere is turning ugly.

Wow!

He quickly hit Hyungseo Moon on the back. It was her wit to resolve the situation(?).

“Hyungseo, stop repeating the guidance message like a robot and go quickly. “I’ll go with you on my own!”

“I understand, miss.”

Ganghu looked at Hyungseo Moon’s back and scanned his constellation information.

There are five contract constellations.

At this level, no matter how low you set your level, it will be 400.

Moreover, seeing as he had signed a contract with a constellation called ‘Project of the Holy Lance’, he appeared to be from the world of spear arts.

Perhaps it is because of his talent that he is given a constellation specialized for a specific occupation.

However, when we met today, he didn’t bring a weapon, so we couldn’t gauge it accurately.

“I’m sorry, brother. “Hyungseo was originally overly cautious and prudent.”

“There’s no need to apologize. They just stick to their respective roles. “I said what I had to say.”

“Thank you for thinking that way.”

“As long as you don’t cross the line, you can hear it with one ear and ignore it. “Nothing to worry about.”

I meant it.

Although Hyungseo Moon’s words made me feel a little offended, I didn’t take them to heart.

It’s just a very strange feeling.

He wondered if Moon Hyung-seo’s sharp reaction to him was ‘jealousy’.

That could be possible, right?

If Moon Hyeong-seo has feelings for Jeong Yu-ri, she might be concerned about the first man she comes with.

‘Anyway, the character is clear.’

Kang-hoo chuckled, remembering Moon Hyeong-seo again. I think I’ll remember him often because he’s a pretty nerdy character.

* * *

The meeting with K took place right away.

We were able to meet in a separate reception room on the first floor of the building that appeared to be his research building.

“grandfather…!”

“Our granddaughter! “How much trouble did it take to get here?”

“What a hardship! “My grandmother prepared a limousine, so I rode comfortably with my brother.”

“For some reason, money suddenly disappeared from my bank account in the morning…”

“Huh? “Didn’t you pay with your grandmother’s money?”

“Where is my money? “It’s your grandmother’s money.”

“Fuha! “Grandpa suffered, he suffered!”

“okay. “This friend is a young man named Jeong Seon-gyu, right?”

“yes! It’s Seongyu oppa! It’s my grandfather! “A lot of people usually call me Master K!”

“Nice to meet you. “This is Jeong Seon-gyu.”

Kanghu greeted K politely.

Personal information about him is completely shrouded in mystery, making it impossible to gauge his status.

There was also no information about his level mentioned. Even though I searched the news, all I found were speculative articles.

When I looked at his constellation information, there were over 10.

Even at this level, the minimum is over 500. That too is conservative, so it will be much higher.

“….”

“….”

There was a moment of silence between them.

Although he didn’t say anything, Kang-hu felt the pressure of a high wave coming from K’s gaze.

Is this the feeling you get when you meet someone who specializes in intuitive insight and is also a bit magical?

Yes, it was the feeling I get when I meet someone with strong spiritual feelings.

A person who cannot be described in words and thus feels more mysterious.

And those thoughts.

‘Interesting friend.’

K, who was making eye contact with Kanghu, was doing the same.
