The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 126

Episode 126, Jin Hyo-young (1),

I was able to understand the current flow among pharmaceutical companies to some extent through Lee Ye-rin.

It was clearly the calm before the storm.

Looking at Lee Ye-rin, it felt like the current shortage of mercenaries was a very big problem.

It has to be that way.

Considering that one of her main sources of income is connecting clients with mercenaries.

A decrease in the number of mercenaries to match with is bound to become a problem that gnaws at your bones.

‘But in the original work, the White War had almost no role. ‘Because there wasn’t much to worry about.’

If you go back in memory.

The white war in the original was just a slightly noisy issue for the main character, Jang Si-hwan.

First of all, there were no problems at all within Seoul, the main area of activity.

This is because from around this time, after conquering the Hell of Judgment, he devoted himself to overseas activities.

It was a journey to grow to a higher place, and the domestic stage was too narrow for Jang Si-hwan at this time.

‘It’s reality to me. ‘Is this the difference in how each person sees the world in their own environment?’

Ganghu nodded.

On the other hand, I also had that thought.

What if you were possessed by someone like Chae Kwan-hyung or Casey Rex instead of Shin Kang-hoo?

How did your perspective on the world change back then? I couldn’t guess it well.

If you were possessed by Chae Gwan-hyung. Did he kill his friend Jang Si-hwan and take his place in the ending?

If it were Casey Rex. Did he lead the American Fortuna guild and attack the Korean Jeonghwa guild first?

Although there is no chance, the more I thought about it, the more interesting it became.

Anyway, the reality is Xinjianghu.

An ill-fated genius assassin who was the main character’s nemesis in the original work but ultimately had no choice but to meet his end.

We must twist that fate.

“Mr. Seongyu?”

“yes.”

“Is something bad going on?”

“no. “I took a moment to gather my thoughts.”

When Kang-hoo remained silent for a while with his eyes fixed on something else, Lee Ye-rin called his attention.

She continued speaking again.

“What kind of request would you like to receive?”

“First of all, I will decline all group requests that require teamwork. “Don’t even make an offer.”

“You mean you want a blind position?”

Blind position.

What I mean is, other mercenaries are waging an all-out war on behalf of the pharmaceutical company.

This means that you are given the task of moving alone as a single person.

For example, taking advantage of the mercenaries’ battle to break through the relaxed security and infiltrate the pharmaceutical company.

It’s like using combat.

Of course, not caring about anyone means not receiving anyone’s protection.

You had to take responsibility for all processes and risks from start to finish.

“you’re right.”

“If that happens, there is a high possibility that it will be a high risk and high return. “It is also a position with a high mortality rate.”

“I’ve always lived like that, so it’s nothing new.”

“great. “Then can we start right away?”

“for a moment. “Shall we take a short break and talk?”

“is it so. I was in dire need of a cup of coffee. Would you like something to drink? “Let’s get ready.”

“One can of coffee.”

“Good choice. “See you in 10 minutes.”

There was a momentary pause in the conversation with Lee Ye-rin. As soon as she left, Kang-hoo called her right away.

The recipient was Ahn Young-ho.

The signal lasted less than two times, but Ahn Young-ho quickly answered the phone. As if I had been waiting.

– Ah, brother! Brother Seongyu! This is finally my first time making a phone call! Yes? Nice to meet you, brother!

“How have you been?”

– Of course, bro! Are you coming to Japan now?

“I already called to ask. “If I were to move tomorrow, would it be possible?”

– Ah! Tomorrow?

“You can answer comfortably. “I’m the one who didn’t tell you in advance.”

– I think you should give it three days. Right now, the Rikou Guild is in the midst of an all-out war…

“I understand you signed a mutual peace agreement with the Toushi Guild some time ago?”

– That was disguise.

“You guys are bastards.”

– Give me three days and I will do my best to organize a place within it. It’s quite possible.

“No, it’s okay. “Let’s talk again when the guild situation is somewhat resolved.”

– It’s really okay, bro!

“I don’t want to go into a dungeon worrying about the back of my head.”

– Ah…

“Let’s talk when the situation allows.” “Always be careful.”

– I’m sorry, brother.

“What are you sorry about? However, I am now ready to go to Japan, so I will tell you when the settings are set.”

– All right!

That’s how the phone call with Ahn Young-ho ended.

If there were no problems, I was planning to stick to dark era farming in Japan rather than mercenary quests.

It didn’t seem like that was a good situation right now.

In domestic terms, the relationship between the Ricou Guild and the Toushi Guild is similar to that between the Purification Guild and the Warlord Abyss.

In fact, they are enemies.

The Purification Guild and the Abyss have never engaged in an all-out war.

However, it seems that Japan is already bleeding profusely. Things didn’t look very good.

After hanging up the phone, Kang-hoo called Park Dong-jae this time.

Unlike Ahn Young-ho, Park Dong-jae received it after a long time had passed. It was a voice full of sleep.

– Stand up, Mr. Seongyu… Ugh.

“I guess you were sleeping.”

– Yes, I returned from the dungeon early in the morning. It’s been a while since I ran, and my body can’t hold on.

“I’ll just state the matter briefly.”

– for a moment. wait a minute. I will open my eyes properly and answer the phone. I don’t want to receive it in my sleep.

Wait a moment.

Soon, after a few coughing sounds, Park Dong-jae’s gruff voice changed to clear.

– I was waiting for the phone call.

“This time, I’m planning to go to the dungeon that Sehyuk gave me. “I thought it would be a good idea to give it a try.”

– Which members will you target? three? four?

Park Dong-jae, who did not understand Kang-hu’s intention, made a mistake. In fact, it is a natural thought.

“two.”

– ah? ah! Just me and Seongyu?

“yes. “It’s not a dungeon with a melee concept anyway, so I think two people can do it.”

– great. Let’s go! The dungeon is currently just on standby, right?

“Tomorrow evening. “What about it?”

– It’s just right. I think I should get a good rest today, and I have work to do with Black Network tomorrow morning.

“Then let’s meet tomorrow at 6 PM in front of the Gyeongju Dungeon. “You know the location, right?”

– of course. See you on time. thank you!

“then. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”

Coordination is complete.

Japan will have to be postponed to a later date, but a schedule to go to the buff dungeon with Park Dong-jae has been set.

Since there was a buff enhancement skill I really wanted to obtain, I wanted to prioritize it over requests.

‘For now, mercenary requests from Yerin Lee are on hold. The ransom price will definitely go up anyway.’

I decided not to rush.

As demand increased, it never decreased, so Ganghu had nothing to regret.

Rather, the one who becomes impatient and sad is the client who wants to hire high-quality human resources.

after.

Kang-hu informs Lee Ye-rin that he will not be accepting any mercenary-related requests for some time.

We had a leisurely tea time and talked extensively about the domestic situation.

In this regard, Lee Ye-rin tells me as much as she knows, so her words were quite helpful.

And on the way out, we parted ways.

A new teleportation point has been designated in an empty lot about 1km north of the Cheongan Building.

It was a newly designated point after Park Dong-jae’s rescue. It’s a perfect location to visit Cheongan Building if you have time.

Only after finishing it like that did Kanghu call someone who could fill his time this evening. It was Jin Hyo-young.

* * *

After a while.

Jin Hyo-young, who had finished applying full makeup in the hotel room she was staying in, looked at herself in the mirror with a satisfied expression.

“I heard you’re pretty, really pretty.”

They say women are particularly cold to themselves. Jin Hyo-young had never thought of such a thing.

Jin Hyo-young knew that her good looks were a very powerful weapon when dealing with men.

So after becoming a hunter, he actively looked for ways to utilize his appearance as much as his abilities.

That’s what she did while working at Eclipse, seducing her targets with a kind of ‘beauty world’.

It’s tempting to say it, but actually, I didn’t pay any attention to it after I seduced him. Because it was Kang Dong-hyun’s responsibility.

Anyway, by being recognized by Kang Dong-hyun for this aspect, she was able to rise to a fairly high rank in Eclipse.

In addition, when conquering dungeons, you receive support to steadily increase your experience points while being less exposed to danger.

Furthermore, more than 30% of the items and assets stolen from the hunter brought in through temptation must be received as compensation for their efforts.

Of course, it wasn’t just her appearance that made this task easy.

Jin Hyo-young also had abilities specializing in addiction.

In particular, the technology to quickly put monsters and hunters into a state of sleep was excellent.

So-called sleep addiction.

Nothing exposes your most critical weakness more than falling asleep in front of your enemy.

Jin Hyo-young had the perfect combination to neutralize someone like this.

she called.

The phone call with Kang Hu had already ended and we had made plans to have drinks together in Seoul.

– Oh, it’s me.

“Donghyun oppa. “The settings are ready.”

– Did that guy ask Shin Kang-hu?

“Are you going to spit it out without biting it? I’ve been thinking about it for no reason until now. “I heard you contacted me earlier today saying that you wanted to see me?”

– Do you feel anything suspicious?

“I could sense that you were cautious from the first time we met. “There’s no way my information will be exposed anyway.”

– That’s right.

“The level database registered with the Hunter Police Department was also manipulated. “It hasn’t even been fixed, right?”

– that’s right.

“Then there is no way to really know about me. “Even the purification guild didn’t know.”

– Is the hotel the same hotel at that time?

“yes. I reserved a room in advance. “This is also the room where Shin Kang-hu will be laid to rest later.”

– The car was parked in advance. Let him sleep well and bring it to him. Just so you don’t get hurt.

“Do not worry. Unless you have the ability to count how many constellations I have, you will never know the truth about me. Even abilities.”

The evening moon that had risen outside the window shone in Jin Hyo-young’s eyes reflected in the mirror.

Kang Dong-hyun on the other end of the phone burst into laughter. It’s a smile when something seems to be going well.

– After all, you have to have what you want. it is not so?

“that’s right.”

– I’m not looking forward to it. Let’s try to politely bring in our talented hunter.

“all right. “I’ll contact you.”

After hanging up the phone, she looked in the mirror and muttered again as if she was chanting a spell like she always did.

“I heard you’re really pretty.”

And at 2 a.m. the next day.

The moonlight, which seemed even stranger and sweeter than usual, was just starting to seep through the window.

Coo!

The two men and women who opened the door and entered the room began to mix together.

“Haaa.”

“Whoa.”

Soon the two people looked at each other with dreamy eyes and let out hot breath.

Then, without anyone knowing who would go first, they began to passionately take off each other’s clothes.

It was the beginning of a concerto created by a mixture of moderate alcohol, goodwill, and unavoidable desire.
