The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 109
Episode 109 Interview (1)
* * *
Today, there are many places where the meaning of pharmaceutical companies has changed.
As drugs and medicines targeting hunters are sold at high prices, research capabilities are focused on this area.
In particular, those called narcotics and stimulants were so expensive that they had high commercial value.
Therefore, some pharmaceutical companies even received research funds from international criminal organizations and conducted research.
Jeondong Pharmaceutical can be said to be a fresh start compared to other pharmaceutical companies.
Moreover, competition among pharmaceutical companies is fierce and they are eager to steal internal secrets.
As a result, the number of requests coming into the mercenary market was naturally active.
Attacking or destroying other pharmaceutical companies’ research labs or key raw material supply warehouses is not uncommon.
Kang-hoo thought that he might soon receive a related request from Lee Ye-rin or Kim Soo-kyung.
There is no reason to refuse as long as the commission is generously paid.
Anyway, except for a few ‘good’ pharmaceutical companies, they are all fools.
Anyway, after arriving in Seoul, Kang Hu broke up with Jeong Yu-ri and promised to move on.
Also, I didn’t forget to thank her for creating a meeting with Master K.
Instead of saying thank you.
I indirectly asked him out on a date by saying we should go for a drive along the west coast next time.
If the time was right, it wasn’t a bother to just get some fresh air with her.
Kang Hu took the subway to Samseong Station and moved to Jeonghwa Building 5.
When I got off the train, it started from the screen door to the stairs.
Advertisements related to the Purification Guild were appearing everywhere I looked.
Among them was a video of the guild’s promotional activities being broadcast at the guild level.
Some were congratulatory or cheering advertisements from ‘fans’ for the executives of the Purification Guild.
What stood out the most was the fans’ congratulatory advertisement for Chae Gwan-hyung, whose birthday is coming soon.
【Chae Gwan-hyung. We are thankful that you were born and are with us. Always be with me. I love you.】
【The day Chae Gwan-hyung came down to the world, the first snow fell from the sky. Now it is time for us to see our first snow.】
“….”
Ganghu, who was not offended even by seeing something cruel and grotesque, frowned at the sentence.
Although it is a sincere comment from the perspective of the fandom.
As someone who knew the true nature of Chae Gwan-hyeong, I couldn’t help but feel worried.
I can assure you.
Chae Kwan-hyung has no interest in people who call him his fans.
It’s a good thing they don’t treat you like a bug.
He is immersed in fatalism, thinking that he is a chosen being.
In that fatalism, all beings that are not hunters are ‘garbage’ created by God. Even breathing is a waste.
After passing through a feast of advertisements that made my eyes dizzy, I came out to the exit, and the situation here was also unusual.
Hundreds of people were protesting against the guild Bastard, which is based in the Osan Station area, and condemning the pacification.
They were showing passionate support, cheering for the Purification Guild’s subjugation of Osan.
‘If I become Jang Si-hwan’s opponent in the future, those people’s criticism and curses will also be directed at me.’
Ganghu made a bitter expression.
Seoul, a city of peace and stability.
To Kang-hu, this place felt like a huge swamp of death.
For those who follow and blindly believe in the Purification Guild, this city is no paradise on earth.
For those on the other side, it was a city of death, never knowing when a storm of oppression would strike.
There was a madness in Seoul that would kill any number of friends or family members if Jang Si-hwan told them to.
‘That’s cool.’
Kanghu admired the uniforms of the Jeonghwa guild members he kept passing by on the street.
Perhaps because it was done by a famous designer, everything down to the smallest finishing touches was perfect.
Therefore, the uniform of the Jeonghwa guild is considered a symbol of honor.
Even if you have to wear regular clothes, you still have to wear a uniform. Because it is a career and honor in itself.
This is a purification guild that has recently recruited a large number of members from satellite guilds.
Usually, newly joined local guild members make sure to give them a tour of Seoul’s Jeonghwa building… so
I thought Han Seo-yeon must be there somewhere. She will live well on her own terms.
* * *
Near Jeonghwa 5th Building.
Perhaps because it was an interview day for external mercenaries, people were already gathering near the building.
Because of where I came from, there were a variety of people who looked quite rough.
At first glance, there were many people whose appearance made me think I was a mercenary. A wound that looks like a medal is a bonus.
at that time.
Pow!
The bald-headed hunter hit Kang-hu’s shoulder and passed by. It felt like I hit with intention, not with the concept of a stroke.
It was good up to that point.
In a place like this, there are people who show off their power by doing useless things just to pretend to be strong.
But unfortunately, the bald guy crossed the line as soon as he saw Ganghu for the first time.
Was it because his slim body seemed small and formidable compared to his huge body?
“Why are you hitting me?”
“Am I telling you what I want to say?”
“Baby, you’re asking. “Why did you hit me?”
In the face of the bald man’s near-rash quarrel, Kang-hoo glanced at his epaulets and saw that he belonged to Hae-young’s guild.
It seems like they think they have at least a guild member thanks to the mutual exchange partnership they signed with the Jeonghwa guild.
Of course, the Haeyoung guild itself had poor reviews of its members. Because they are people who live for the taste of pride.
Kang-hu made an annoyed expression.
“What do you want to do? “Do you want to receive an apology?”
“Apologise. right now.”
“sorry. “Then let’s go.”
He clearly apologized, but of course he did so with a look of displeasure on his face as a listener.
And then, seeing Kang-hu turn around without regret, the bald head stretched out his fist without even thinking about it.
Pow!
The bald head’s fist exploded into the back of Kang Hu’s head. It was a very clearly heard hitting sound.
But something was strange.
Sigh! square!
I heard the sound of something sharp cutting behind me and my whole body felt cool.
“Aaaah!”
“What is he?”
Passers-by who were passing by without thinking suddenly screamed when they saw the bald head that had become a mess of panties.
When the bald head wondered what was going on, he realized that the person his fist had hit was not Kang-hu, but his alter ego.
Before the bald head’s fist reached him, Kanghu used the self-immolation technique and immediately turned his body to move laterally, so he was able to naturally catch the bald head’s back.
“If you argue one more time, then I’ll be naked. “Behave well.”
Kang-hu looked at him with a mocking look, just to offend the bald head, and turned around.
But there was no way the bald man who had already been insulted would back down.
“Fuck you, you bastard!”
A fist flew again.
Paang!
This time it was a shadow walk.
Five shadows moved in and out repeatedly, as if making fun of his bald head.
As the embarrassed bald head turned his gaze forward, Ganghu moved to the shadow behind him.
and.
wickedness! Sigh!
In the very delicate and neat movement of the dagger, the bald head…
Tuuk.
“Aaaah!”
“You’re a pervert, you’re a pervert!”
“What, that’s all I can do?”
“Is it even hanging?”
I became completely naked.
The humiliation clearly mixed in with the screams was a bonus.
Click click!
Even the subsequent barrage of camera flashes. The dark history of bald heads arose in an unexpected place.
Kang Hu, who created the situation, had already left the scene. Hiding and without a rumor.
* * *
That time.
“What are you so excited about?”
“There was a fight near the entrance to the building. “It’s so simple to conclude the situation and leave.”
“Who is it?”
“I was wondering why his face looked familiar, and he said he was the hunter we were interviewing today.”
“who?”
“Jeong Seon-gyu. “The hunter I was interested in because the combination of skills written down in the document was unique.”
“Oh, that assassin?”
“huh.”
A man and a woman of the same age, both in their late 40s this year, were having a conversation.
Although they were the same age, they were lovers at the same time. And he was also the person in charge of Kanghu’s interview today.
Their names are Gong Seok and Go Joo Hee.
The rankings within the guild were 16th and 17th, respectively, in martial arts and magic.
The level was 425 and they were the same in case someone thought they were lovers.
“How was it?”
“The combination of lateral movement and bunshinjutsu is excellent. Plus, the skill called Shadow Walk is quite interesting.”
“You mean that skill that allows you to teleport to that shadow location?”
“huh. I looked through the skill book database, but there was no skill called Shadow Walk…”
“Well, the database doesn’t have all the information. But if you find it interesting, it seems like you have skills.”
“Yes, to put it simply, it’s neat. It’s also the top virtue of an assassin. neatness.”
“Are you looking forward to it?”
Gong Seok and Go Joo Hee’s eyes stopped on Kang Hu’s face in the middle of the folder they were holding.
It was a file that both people felt curious about during the document interview stage and even marked it with a red star.
A person of interest has arrived.
The examiners in charge of him were themselves. Their hearts pounded at the impending meeting.
* * *
Starting from the interview room at the end of the hallway, there were a lot of hunters sitting on the chairs lined up.
It was an endless line that made you wonder if there were that many hunters.
Kanghu found a chair with his name on it and sat down.
I don’t know how the order was arranged, but since I was at the front, I didn’t think I would have to wait long.
However, as time passed, the atmosphere outside the interview room became strange.
Twenty hunters entered in front of Ganghu, but all of them were rejected and left.
If you were judged eligible to join the strategy team, you had to enter a separate room inside.
It took a considerable amount of time as there were one-time strategy team contract procedures and detailed instructions inside.
However, not a single person came out of the interview without a long wait. It was an undoubted elimination.
‘They say they’re recruiting heroes, but it looks like those heroes are being selected as well.’
Kanghu snorted.
Since it is a purification guild, its standards may be high. There may be many mercenaries who don’t like it.
I had enough confidence to pass the rigorous verification. The only problem was how far to show it.
“Mr. Jeong Seon-gyu?”
“yes.”
“Come on in.”
As I followed the guide inside, I saw two faces in front of me that Kanghu could recognize.
Gong Seok and Go Joo Hee.
It was a middle-aged character created intentionally in the original work.
It was a couple created to portray middle-aged love in a cool and emotional way, but while writing other content, it ended up being aired.
They were one of the couples I felt sorry for when I was writing the epilogue, but I got to see them in person.
They say they are middle-aged and in their late 40s, but if you look at them in person, you can see that they are both in their mid-30s.
“Mr. Jeong Seon-gyu? Please come a little further forward. “I need to check your face one more time.”
At that time, Go Joo-hee, who had an impressive point on her sharp nose bridge, spoke up.
When Kang-hoo took two steps forward, Go Joo-hee looked at the document and Kang-hu alternately, then tilted her head.
“Is this you?”
