The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 108
Episode 108 Master K (4)

Rumbling.
Before we knew it, heavy rain began to fall, accompanied by thunder and lightning, hitting the area around Ground Zero.
The rain was continuously hitting the window, pouring down so hard that I couldn’t see in front of me.
Although I was concentrating on the conversation with K.
I thought it would be difficult to return to Seoul today because of this heavy rain.
Of course, this is not a problem to worry about now.
K asked, pouring Kanghu another cup of deeply brewed Fortis tea.
“How about tea?”
“great. “It feels like my emotions are coming together as one rather than fluctuating.”
“What do you think will happen if you mix the powder of dried Fortis petals with a drug?”
“I don’t think there will be any back and forth.”
“that’s right. No matter what I sell to the outside world, it’s all mixed with drugs. What on earth is the Hunter Public Security Agency doing?…”
“After all, it’s the 2nd company of the Purification Guild, right?”
“It’s not wrong, so I can’t deny it. “Of course, they are my main customers.”
K laughed.
Then, in a warm atmosphere, we continued the conversation we had before the transaction.
“For the hunter who had hyperreactivity to buffs. I tried applying buffs and debuffs at the same time. “It’s not fatal, but a debuff type skill was applied.”
“Did it work?”
“huh. The overreaction disappeared. So then, do you have any idea how to approach it?”
“You can just make it drain as much magic power as it draws in…”
Ganghu trailed off.
According to the mechanism explained earlier, it is correct to do so.
However, the advantage of congenital mana hypersensitivity is that it recovers mana quickly at the expense of side effects.
If you solve it with the same amount of emission, it will eventually converge to 0, making it a stupid solution.
In the end, it becomes a useless situation with no pain or benefit.
K, who had the same thoughts as Kang-hu, nodded and answered Kang-hu’s doubts.
“know. If you do it honestly like that, it’s a fool’s method. But what if fake mana is released?”
“Is that possible?”
“I’m sorry, but this part is hypothetical. This means that it is at the first level of conception. But in theory it is possible.”
“I’d like to hear more about the concept of false mana.”
Because this was a story that had never appeared in the original work, Kang-hu’s eyes sparkled more than ever.
A world was created even in places where the original author’s consciousness was not in contact with the content of the original work.
From Kang-hoo’s perspective, it is a situation where he ‘knows everything except what he doesn’t know.’ And this hypothesis is unknown.
“A force that revolves around the heart. “We call it mana or magic power.”
“That heart is also called the Mana Heart. There are various aliases, but officially.”
“okay. That’s real mana. “It’s Mana, there’s no doubt about it.”
The main point has not been revealed yet.
When Kanghu tilted his head slightly, K turned on the tablet PC that had been placed on the stand on the table.
Then, I quickly entered a few search terms and immediately found an image for reference.
It was an image of the wizard Gong Tae-su, who Kang-hoo had blown off his arm a while ago.
“Do you know who it is?”
“Isn’t this Gong Tae-su, the bloody butcher in Ulsan?”
“I know very well. I lost my left arm not long ago. “I heard the money on that arm was worth billions.”
“….”
The owner of those billions is right in front of you.
However, since no one except Lee Ye-rin knows the truth, there will be no leaks of the secret.
“The master of the Purification Guild seemed quite interested. “I was wondering who on earth cut off the arm of a guy who looked like Gong Tae-su.”
“okay.”
“It looks like they are watching the CCTV footage from the scene first. “He even asked me if I knew who he was.”
“He’s a mercenary and his face must have been covered, so wouldn’t it be difficult?”
“But there are records of skills used in the field, right? “If you do cross-validation, it will eventually become specific.”
“I guess so.”
“You went there while talking about Tae-soo Gong. Anyway, you know that this guy has a magic stone embedded in his forearm, right?”
“I understand that it is a human body modification using quite advanced technology.”
“that’s right. If you do it wrong, it can have many side effects. But the friend had a successful surgery. Of course, I lost my arm.”
“Did you do it yourself?”
“It’s a secret who did it. “But if only we could implant a tool to release mana into the body in that way.”
“It acts as fake mana.”
“that’s right. To do that, you need a very small amulet-type item. Especially with the release option.”
“The conditions are becoming more stringent.”
“huh. This is the first difficulty. Besides, I have to carve that talisman into my body later.”
“Even if it’s just a hypothesis, I think it’s plausible because it’s plausible enough.”
“yes? i think so too. ha ha ha.”
Just because the hypothesis is plausible doesn’t mean you can drink kimchi soup in advance. But there is no need to be pessimistic.
“Ultra compact. charm. Emission Options.”
“that’s right. “I will find out where I can buy it or get it and let you know.”
“thank you.”
“Don’t expect too much. Even if you find it, the hypothesis may be wrong and finding it itself may be difficult.”
“Just having hope is enough.”
It was Ganghu’s sincerity.
In a long, dark tunnel, just seeing a ray of light at the far end provides hope.
It’s still the same now.
Compared to living with resignation and acceptance of the side effects of congenital mana hypersensitivity.
It was much better now that there was even a small chance of side effects being resolved rather than 0%.
“You said earlier that you had an item to sell, right?”
“Yes that’s right.”
Since I came here, I was thinking of killing the fixer and disposing of the items I got.
The estimated appraised value is 30 billion won.
After selling, the balance will easily exceed 110 billion won, so there will be room to buy one more second-grade item.
‘Because I have to go to Seoul for an interview related to Hell of Judgment. ‘You can look around at the markets in Seoul.’
It seemed like the next itinerary would be Seoul. The route was simple, so my mind wasn’t complicated.
Before ending my private meeting with K. He spoke his final words to Kang-hu with a kind smile.
“The fact that your cold blood was warm to my granddaughter means that you, too, are warm by nature.”
“Yuri was a good stimulus to me. “He has a lot of emotions that I don’t have.”
“okay. Don’t treat my granddaughter like a child unconditionally. Just give us a lot of support. “I am a child who grew up with support and encouragement.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“And then. From now on, consultations like this will cost 10 million won per hour. “You know what I mean?”
“It’s a lot cheaper.”
“Haha, is that so? “Then next time, make a deposit first.”
“Keep that in mind.”
“Like Yuri said, you are a friend who takes jokes seriously. “That’s why I said it wasn’t fun.”
“….”
Because the words hit the nail on the head, Kanghu answered with silence instead.
That is correct. Even looking at myself, it is clear that I am a very boring person.
* * *
In the end, as Kang-hu expected, the rain did not stop but instead became heavier.
This situation also occurred because there was little interest in the weather forecast.
Looking at the weather news, it seemed like a short-term heavy rain warning had been issued early on throughout the central region.
As a result, Kang-hoo and Jeong Yu-ri stayed at K’s villa for a day thanks to K’s consideration.
To be exact, we decided to leave when the rain stopped, but we couldn’t be sure when that would be.
“Oppa, it’s done! Just wait a moment! “I made a lot because I thought people would ask for more after eating!”
Jeong Yu-ri made tomato pasta, saying that she wanted to show off her cooking skills after Kang-hu said it was okay.
The scent itself isn’t bad, but you can’t really tell about food until you eat it.
I had mixed emotions when I saw Kang-hu’s expression when he saw the pasta that had been carefully decorated.
If it doesn’t taste good, is it better to be honest? Or is it better to lie?
So, I’m thinking about how to make a facial expression so that it completely lies.
Jeong Yu-ri’s fork was already in her mouth. With a bunch of pasta wrapped around it.
Pasta that I was forced to eat.
Despite the taste, Kang-hoo decided to lie for the sake of Jeong Yu-ri, who had suffered.
“It’s delicious.”
but.
“Even if you chew shit, it’s better than that look on your face. Sheesh….”
Jeong Yu-ri was already sulking.
I know I can tell as many clever lies as I want. Strangely enough, telling a white lie was too difficult.
* * *
After a while.
“Hmm….”
“Hmm….”
Kang-hoo and Jeong Yu-ri were sitting mindlessly in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass that clearly showed the garden lawn.
It’s like ‘Bimung’. I am blankly looking at the rain.
It was a lot better than I thought. Does it feel like all the distracting thoughts in your head are disappearing, even if just for a moment?
Right then.
Kang-hoo and Jeong Yu-ri’s smartphones rang at the same time.
Both were email notifications.
【You will receive an email from the Jeonghwa Guild Dungeon Management Team to Jeong Seon-gyu.】
【You have passed the interview for documents related to the Hell of Judgment strategy. Please come to Jeonghwa Building 5 at Samseong Station by 12 o’clock tomorrow.】 【
The interview will be held at Rosemary Hall in Building 5, and you will receive friendly guidance from the staff at the entrance.】 “Are you notifying me of tomorrow’s
interview the evening before? ”
Kanghu burst into laughter.
As expected, it looks like he passed the document interview. Yuri Jeong also seemed to have passed the document interview.
“What time is it oppa?”
“At noon.”
“I’m at 6pm! “After the interview, I can go straight to Sindorim Station.”
“Do you have a dungeon schedule?”
“huh. I’ve set a tight schedule before conquering Judgment Hell! “Today is my only holiday!”
“Right.”
“They say the rain will stop at dawn, so let’s leave right then. “I think it would be better to get some sleep now, right?”
“I guess so.”
Sleeping in the car is uncomfortable.
Anyway, now is the best time to sleep when there is nothing to do.
As Jeong Yu-ri suggested, we headed to the dark room where Kang-hu was visible in the corner.
Since it is a very large villa, there are countless rooms, so resting was no problem.
2AM.
After confirming that the rain had stopped, Kang-hoo and Jeong Yu-ri departed in a safety limousine just as they had when they arrived at the villa.
The driver and bodyguard were still on standby, so no preparation time was needed.
The road to Seoul.
Jeong Yu-ri, who was very uncomfortable with the rain audio, turned on the small TV installed in the middle of the back seat.
Coincidentally, news about hunters was playing on the screen, and the content caught Kang-hu’s attention.
The headline was impressive.
【A large-scale battle occurs in Jeonju’s Jeondong pharmaceutical building. It turned out to be the work of the ‘sun’.】
“It seemed like it was going to explode.”
Kanghu nodded without showing any surprise.
Jeon Dong Pharmaceutical was not only a pharmaceutical company, but in fact it was a central point in the distribution of narcotic stimulants.
In addition, it was a place where illegal modifications and secret human experiments took place, so there was a lot of talk about it.
The force that previously looked after Jeon Dong Pharmaceutical was the guild ‘Paradise’.
And it seems that the one who attacked them by surprise this time was ‘Taeyang’.
Taeyang was a large-scale criminal organization in the Jeonju area and was larger than Eclipse, which was notorious.
and.
‘Captain Kang Tae-yang is also Kang Dong-hyeon’s half-brother.’
It was also an organization that kept secrets known only to the original author.
This is a problematic organization in which recalling memories related to one way or another is likely to be more unpleasant than pleasant.
‘The South is going to be noisy.’
Kang-hu’s gaze deepened as he looked into the predicted future.
Of course, in his memory, Ganghu was diligently looking for fragments that could benefit him.
Confusion is an opportunity.
