The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 107

Episode 107 Master K (3)

* * *

There was no deep conversation from the beginning.

However, Kang-hoo and K continued to exchange silent glances, revealing their curiosity about each other.

Although no one spoke up, the principal suggested that the two of them have a private conversation after Jeong Yu-ri was away.

What Hyeong-seo Moon made herself under K’s instructions was Fortis Tea.

Fortis is a plant that has a very weak awakening effect, but it can only be collected in certain dungeons.

In fact, it has a better effect of eliminating fear than an awakening effect, so I used it for that purpose.

It was K’s consideration as he noticed that Kang-hoo was nervous about their first meeting.

“I really appreciate it. “Thanks to you, our Yuri’s wanderings have come to an end.”

“Yuri made the choice. “I just left a small skein hanging down.”

“Grandpa and Grandma also stretched out that skein of thread, but this guy didn’t catch the original.”

“grandfather! That’s because… it was a time when I was afraid of everything. “Could it be that you couldn’t trust people?”

“I know, I know. Isn’t that why I am grateful to young Seongyu again? “I’m really grateful.”

“That’s right.”

From K’s words, I could fully understand the time when Jeong Yu-ri was struggling and in pain.

That’s what trauma is like.

The perpetrator does not even know that the victim has suffered trauma, and even if he or she knows, it is not a big deal.

However, victims always live in pain every moment. Unless you can overcome and control it yourself.

That was the reason why Kang-hoo felt more sympathy and pity for Jeong Yu-ri.

Because my pure soul was tainted by a scumbag named Chae Gwan-hyung.

Afterwards, we talked about small things and daily life for about 10 minutes.

Since the topic was about Jeong Yu-ri, Kang-hu just listened quietly.

There were many stories, but to summarize, it was about Jeong Yu-ri’s innocence and passion.

So I thought that my grandfather and grandmother would be strong supporters in the future.

I wondered if I would ever hear about my grandmother’s existence, but the flow of the story did not go that direction.

and.

“Yuri.”

“Your grandfather.”

“I’d like to talk to young man Seon-gyu. “Can you leave the room for a moment?”

“Oh, is that so?”

Jeong Yu-ri did not find the conversation between Kang-hu and his grandfather strange.

This is because he knew that the reason Kang-hu came here was for business purposes, such as purchasing goods.

Of course, it was also an opportunity for Jeong Yu-ri to introduce her benefactor, but the purpose was clear anyway.

“Go to the warehouse and take a look at the Solarkium Mad Solariums that are in good condition.”

“Okay! Can I go with my brother? “I’m bored when I’m alone, so I’m going to talk a bit.”

“Even if you tell me not to come, I will follow you. “In fact, he is more loyal to you than to me.”

“Oh, that’s not it.”

“Do you know how he feels?”

“That’s what you want, Grandpa, right?”

“Anyway, please select some special items in advance. “If possible, wash it too.”

“I understand! “Speak well with your grandfather!”

“huh.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jeong Yu-ri left.

This space, constructed with soundproof walls and doors, was completely safe with no sound leaking out.

There is a moment of silence.

After moistening my slightly dry mouth with sweet-smelling Fortis tea.

K spoke to Kang-hu, who was quietly staring at him.

“you.”

“yes.”

“You pursue a truly lonely and solitary fate. Isn’t it difficult? “It won’t be an easy road.”

It felt awkward for a moment, but Kanghu answered with a faint smile.

What K said now could be cold reading. This is something that can be said to anyone.

Ganghu countered.

“Master K often feels lonely and seems to have a particularly bleak outlook for the future.”

“haha. I guess he thought what I just said was a cold reading. “Isn’t this too obvious an acceptance?”

“It’s because I can feel the concern in their eyes.”

“okay. Your thoughts are yours. Somehow I can feel it. “You are a very special person.”

Do you see something in him?

It may be visible.

This is because there is a precedent that the fixer he killed before chased him only with the flow of mana.

Such abilities necessarily include the power of spiritual concepts. And spiritual power also includes insight.

Just because he can see through something doesn’t mean you can honestly tell him everything.

This is what is commonly referred to as a leak in the sky.

A single word can be a catalyst that drastically twists the timeline.

“I want to live a special life.”

“For people like you, the end is clear. Hero or villain. How is it too simple?”

“no. However, I think it would be better to be a proud villain than a backstabbing hero.”

“okay. I spoke in a very random way. Anyway, I really wanted to tell you that from earlier.”

Ganghu nodded.

What K saw in himself wasn’t really that important.

No matter how he views himself or how he evaluates himself, he will not change his direction and thoughts about living.

However, my curiosity about him deepened. What kind of abilities does he have as a hunter?

What is certain is that he is completely hiding his power. Numerous constellation information proves this.

“I think I know why you asked to see me. Do you want to speak first or tell me what I’m talking about?”

“Would you like to hear it?”

“Like Yuri said, he’s a friend who doesn’t talk much. Okay, I’ll tell you what I feel. “You have a fatal problem with your body.”

“….”

K’s hand movements that followed afterwards were so unusual that I thought this was cold reading.

He spread his arms out.

He was creating a flow of energy that seemed to be gathering around him. By drawing a spiral.

“If you look at it microscopically, it’s absolutely not noticeable. “If you look at it from a macro perspective, you can get a glimpse of it.”

“What do you see?”

“Your reaction to mana is abnormal. “If the flow is like this, I won’t have to worry about mana.”

K accurately pinpointed his essence.

Of course, the condition called congenital mana hypersensitivity itself was not diagnosed.

That is something that only Kang-hoo himself can understand, and as someone who is meeting him for the first time today, he really saw through it deeply.

As Kang-hu muttered slightly, K added his argument forcefully.

“The reason people look for Solakium Mad Solarkium is to relieve pain. “It’s just a temporary measure.”

It’s true that you’ve seen it all at this point.

Kang Hu also thought he had nothing more to hide. On the other hand, there was also a part that made me feel relieved.

Because there is no need to explain your condition to him in detail. It seems he has already made his decision.

“I will admit it. “I wanted to hear your opinion on this matter, so I wanted to come to you in person.”

“The business is yours, but it seems like I was the one who got so upset that I spoke first.”

“I did it because I thought it was not something that could be easily understood. “You may not believe it.”

“It means that you were planning to keep quiet if you felt like I didn’t understand you properly.”

“That’s right. “I am willing to pay whatever costs are involved.”

“Tell me straight from the conclusion.”

“yes.”

“I don’t know the answer either. “But there has been research on similar conditions.”

“What kind of disease is it?”

“It must have been three years ago. I can’t reveal my real name, so I’ll call him Hunter A. “The problem was overreaction to buff skills.”

“Is your body not able to withstand the buff?”

“that’s right. “At that time, I did a lot of research and even collaborated with overseas researchers.”

“Can you tell me who it is?”

“Mihai Banku. A Romanian researcher. Even if I tell you, you won’t know. “It’s a name you can’t even hear if you’re not interested in this area.”

Contrary to K’s expectations, Ganghu knew his name. Of course, that’s not the point.

“How was your research?”

“To put it simply, it was a lot of money. “I’ve tested everything from simple hypotheses to even delusional ideas.”

“What progress?”

“There was. One of my hypotheses was correct. Strike a balance. “It was easy to say, but difficult to realize.”

My ears perked up.

How did he approach it? Ganghu swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.

At that time, K stood up and slapped the sofa. Are you saying we’re going to stop here?

“…?”

“Now, would you like to make a deal first?”

After all, he is a born businessman.

I suffered a severe amputation in reality, not in a novel.

It was K’s business that was clever but impossible to hate.

* * *

The Solar Kium transaction proceeded according to K’s design(?).

Since I had 28 regular Solar Kiums, I did not purchase any additional ones.

Instead, I purchased 20 Mad Solar Kium, each worth 100 million won.

The amount purchased was exactly within the limit of the gold card provided by the Spotfire Guild.

While the transaction is in progress.

Jeong Yu-ri was not by her side as she was taking a walk with Moon Hyeong-seo.

Instead, a heart-shaped sticker was attached to each well-packaged Mad Solarium.

Even though it may be an insignificant sticker, it made me smile. It’s probably because of childlike innocence.

Kang-hoo looked at the card statement showing 2 billion won paid and smiled bitterly.

It’s definitely expensive.

“I always feel this way every time I see Mad Solarium, but the prices are crazy.”

“It’s not easy for me to get one either. The success rate of natural cultivation is also very low.”

“If you think about it that way, it might actually be a reasonable price.”

“At least we lowered the price because there is less demand these days. “At its peak, it cost 300 million won.”

“They don’t seem to be looking for it these days, do they?”

“There must be so many substitutes. “Everyone wants a mixed stimulant painkiller.”

“You mean drugs?”

“I don’t deal in drugs. “But there are a lot of people who add drugs to the things they buy from me.”

I felt fortunate that I had bought 20 Mad Solarchiums.

As Kanghu reflected on his thoughts, he couldn’t think of a place where he could go and obtain points in person.

Although I vaguely knew a few locations, the area to explore was very extensive.

It is not something that can be done now as it is a task that requires several days of time.

“It’s packaged well so it seems like it would be good for storage.”

“Anyway, there you are. “How do you have the Spitfire Guild’s Gold Card?”

“How did it happen?”

“That guild is very strict and will never give out gold cards to outsiders, right?”

“There’s a story.”

“It looks like the guild master owes you something personally? “Haha, you’re getting more and more curious?”

K’s eyes sparkled.

From the first time I met him, I thought he was unusual, but the more I got to know him, the more my curiosity deepened.

What kind of story is there?

And why is my body causing so much trouble, as if it was cursed?

I was so curious.
