The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 111

Episode 111: Intercepting Giyeon (1)

It was Yu Cheong-hwa.

The last time we met for the first time, the dress code was a black blouse and all red colors.

Today was the opposite.

It was all black with a red blouse. Maybe it’s because I have fair skin, but any combination goes well with it.

A small star tattoo below the eye.

And even a red rose-shaped tattoo visible through the gap where two blouse buttons were undone.

The Yu Cheong-hwa that Kang-hu knew was exactly the same.

As soon as Yu Chenghwa made eye contact with Kang Hu, he attempted a mental scan.

Since Kang Hu had already prepared from the moment he saw her, Yu Qinghua’s attempt naturally ended in failure.

As their eyes met, Yu Qinghua smiled.

It’s not normal to see something so shameless, even if you’re willing to look into it openly.

Contrary to her good-natured appearance, she is a person whose true feelings are unknown.

In fact, even in the original work, she was the member with the lowest sense of belonging to the Thirteen Stars, next to Emilia Rose.

Perhaps it felt more like he was moving with the thirteen stars as his big hand, rather than like blood-sharing comrades?

We sold a lot of items and skill books to Jang Si-hwan, Chae Gwan-hyung, Casey Rex Elizabeth, and others.

All of the wealth she accumulated was used to solidify her position in China.

anyway.

It seemed like the Shintu Guild had made a big deal out of it, so I thought I would just take a look.

“Does it look like this?”

“Iknow, right.”

“When you look at Seoul like this, it’s so small. “I never thought we’d meet at the market.”

“Stop looking into your head.”

“Hey, I keep getting nauseous. “It’s been a long time since I’ve met such an impenetrable hunter.”

“It’s not polite to try to open the front door of someone else’s house.”

“I apologize if you were offended. “I think it’s an occupational disease.”

“The reason is too trivial.”

Yu Qinghua scratched the back of his head at Kang Hu’s command.

It may have sounded unpleasant depending on how you listened to it, but she acknowledged her rudeness.

The statement that it was an occupational disease was not a lie.

Since I have made it a habit to scan every time I meet someone… it was

something that happened naturally rather than thinking of looking into their insides out of malicious intent.

Of course, it is natural for those on the receiving end to feel uncomfortable.

“By the way, have you used the business card I gave you yet? “They didn’t even give me a phone call.”

“I haven’t had anything to see in China yet. “I’m not really interested in the Shintu guild.”

“Does it hurt your pride a little?”

“I just stick to my own pace.”

Kang Hu was curious about the true intentions of Yu Cheong-hwa, who showed interest in him.

Is it because of its near-perfect resistance to mind scanning?

Even though I didn’t really show her anything, it felt like it was quite imprinted on her.

Of course, the Shintu Guild is famous for aggressively recruiting foreign hunters.

Sweeping up talented people based on China’s unique capital power, called China Money.

That was also the long-standing operating philosophy of the Shintu Guild.

In fact, within the Shintu guild, there was an elite unit made up of talented multinational hunters.

Kanghu changed the topic.

“I would like to buy some items. “I’m looking at it as a level 2 item, and if possible, a necklace.”

“and! “A level 2 item?”

“I have enough money.”

“no. I’m not saying this because I thought I wouldn’t have any money. “There have been no big hands at all for the past few days.”

Yu Qinghua drew a large circle with both hands. Her characteristic is that she uses really big hand movements when talking.

There was a part of it that strangely made me focus on the conversation, and this also seemed to be an intentional action.

“Can I see it?”

“This is a place that mainly sells items below grade 3. “There is a separate special sales area.”

“I guess there are levels 3 and above there?”

“yes. It’s the building right next door. “It is a sales outlet that has received permission from the Purification Guild and the Hunter Public Security Agency.”

“Let’s go.”

Ganghu nodded.

For a moment, I thought it might be Yu Cheong-hwa’s ‘manipulation’.

For example, luring them into a building and kidnapping them… it was a very possible scenario.

However, I was not worried as I had the special constellation teleportation ability given to me by the Dimension Stealer.

If you feel like the situation is going to get messy, just get out of there right away.

“Follow me. I will guide you personally. “For the first time in a while, there will be some warmth in the cold sales floor!”

With a cheerful expression on his face, Yu Cheng-hwa began to kindly guide Kang-hu and move.

There seemed to be no hostility as she led the way with a sad smile in her eyes.

Of course, we cannot be at ease.

* * *

As she said, the top floor of the building right next to the Seoul Market main branch was Shintu Guild’s VIP Market.

Is it to prove that it has definitely been approved by the Purification Guild and the Hunter Public Security Agency?

The epaulettes of the guards stationed in the middle belonged to two organizations. It wasn’t camouflage.

While I followed her in silence.

Kang Hu looked back on his memories of Yu Qinghua in the original work.

At that time, a line of her dialogue that had been buried in the abyss of my memory suddenly came to mind.

【I like heroes who make me feel proud of myself. “I don’t like hateful trash.”

When I wrote the line in the novel, I portrayed it as just an intoxicated statement about becoming a “hero” named Thirteen Stars.

It looked different now.

It occurred to her that the existence of thirteen stars might not be a projection of her beliefs.

In fact, there was something that Jang Si-hwan said to Yu Cheong-hwa in the original work.

【Yu Cheonghwa. Sometimes I wonder if it’s just money that you agree with us.

If you want to leave, you can leave anytime. I want a hero with faith and a mission to save the world.

Heroes can sometimes be hated by people who cannot understand them.】

I feel like there is a hidden crack in the conversation.

When I originally wrote the content, I thought it was just a fight or a fight between each other.

Now that I have come back and looked at it again, I realized that my sense of solidarity with Yu Qinghua was much less strong than I thought.

perhaps.

Like Emilia Rose, there may be someone who can take advantage of the gap. So that the thirteen stars may not be thirteen.

‘Let’s see from afar.’

Ganghu was not impatient.

Such advanced design should not be done impulsively and spontaneously. You have to look long and far.

“ruler! Now, if you open this door and enter, the entire space will be filled with level 1, 2, and 3 items.”

When she nodded to Yu Qinghua’s words, she pushed the door forward with all her might.

Then, as she said, I saw various items lined up in countless display cases.

It was a feast of various items that seemed to be much more numerous than what I saw at the Seoul Market main store.

It was also a site where the continent’s volume offensive could be felt once again.

“I’ll take a look.”

“As much as you want. I follow along and don’t bother you. “I hate that kind of thing when shopping.”

“then.”

Kanghu began to look through the shelves at the entrance one by one.

For some items, the actual items were brought and placed next to them along with instructions with options written down.

Some displayed samples and wrote down instructions and delivery schedules and periods next to them.

It is explained that you can receive it quickly as it is delivered by a chartered plane owned by the Shintu Guild.

‘There are so many.’

The sales volume was so high that even Kanghu, who rarely expressed admiration, was left speechless.

If we were to add up the value of all the items here, it would be a ridiculous amount of tens of trillions of won.

Perhaps for that reason, the entire inner wall of the staircase, starting from the elevator, was surrounded by a thick protective barrier.

It’s probably a luxury system that costs 200 million won per day to maintain.

Normally, Kanghu’s style is to finish shopping briefly.

This time it took quite some time because there was so much to see.

At some point, I forgot the passage of time and spent time immersed in the fun of looking at the items.

Did about two hours pass like that?

Yu Cheng-hua, who was talking on the phone in a soundproof transparent glass booth, came out.

This is because Ganghu’s decision is over.

“Let’s do this.”

“Let’s see… Breath of the God of Reverse? This is a nice necklace. “Assassins are very interested.”

“price is?”

“It’s 110 billion won. Sorry, but bargaining is impossible. “There has already been enough discount.”

“hmm.”

The current balance is 111.6 billion won.

After paying for the necklace, 1.6 billion won remains.

Still, even though I had a large balance, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I would quickly become penniless.

but.

This necklace clearly had some value.

Above all, it was essential for Kang-hoo, who wanted to minimize dependence on others and become a solo all-rounder.

“I’m telling you in case you don’t know. If you purchase an item from our Shintu Guild, you can exchange it later, limited to one time. “The value should be the same, right?”

“I know.”

“Ho Ho. It’s a bit of an unusual service, right? This is why we have many regular traders. Jang Si-Hwan is also our main customer.”

Even in the original work, Yu Chenghua sold a lot of items to the thirteen stars in this way.

It even came with an exchange opportunity, so if you changed your mind while using it, you could change it even if it was only once.

And from the second time, it was possible to replace the item by paying an additional fee.

It was very convenient to be able to change the settings to suit your taste without having to go through the hassle of selling and buying.

“Let’s do this. “The breath of the God of Reverse.”

Kanghu pointed to the necklace.

Now it’s time to take off the level 7 necklace, which looks shabby at first glance, and be with a new one.

* * *

The settlement was quickly completed.

While Kang Hu was wearing the necklace, Yu Cheong-hwa was noticeably absent.

Anyway, all that’s left is to say goodbye and thank you for the transaction.

【Reverse God’s Breath – Necklace】

【Grade: Level 2】

【Strength +50】

【Dexterity +200】

【Anti-horsepower +200】

【Fortitude +50】

‘Because the Tailwind Necklace only increased agility by 15. ‘This is cataclysmic level.’

All stats have increased significantly.

The reason Ganghu paid attention to his agility stat this time was because of the lack of basics he felt during the battle.

Until now, Kanghu had relied on skills, including acceleration, for his quick mobility and movement.

As a result, my movements were very slow when I couldn’t use the skill. At least by my own standards.

The high agility stat gives the feeling that constant acceleration is being applied to the mobility ability even without skills.

‘As my dependence on skills increases, wood carving is perfect for when I am unable to use my skills smoothly.’

Is there anything better to hit like a wooden doll? I didn’t want to be in that situation.

Before checking the changed stats, Ganghu looked again at the two special effects of Breath of the Gods.

special effects.

It is also one of the reasons to purchase high-quality items.

Depending on what effect it has, it can create tremendous synergy with the wearer.

【Addiction Suppression】

【Recovery Suppression】

At a glance, it is a special effect that blocks the natural flow.

The reason why I decided to purchase Breath of the Gods. These were options that were deeply related to the identity of the necklace.
