Episode 133 Jeju Island (2)

Contrary to what I thought would be a fairly long call, the call between Lee Ye-rin and the client ended quickly.
Because she used multiple phones, I could hear the call, although it was very quiet.
Of course, it wasn’t enough to understand the context. Soon Yerin Lee continued speaking.
– Negotiations are over.
“What did you say?”
– They say they will accept everything. Instead, they said that if the bleeding couldn’t be maintained, they would do as originally suggested.
“It means taking responsibility for your words.”
– It means paying for food.
“I accept. As I said before, it doesn’t seem like damage dealing is what you want from me.”
– that’s right.
“To me it’s a simple matter.”
– When will I be notified of commencement?
“Please tell me that I will go to Jeju Airport as soon as I wake up. “It would be around 8 a.m.”
– Kang-hoo has been like this before, but I like him because he acts so quickly. You don’t hesitate?
“Consider that you have a good client.”
– Then, I will send you the relevant materials right away. Even information about the person you need to meet tomorrow.
“yes.”
The call has ended.
The whole time I was on the phone, it kept vibrating, so I did something and found that there were a lot of texts from Sangmi Yoon.
【Your brother was Shin Kang-hoo?】
【Seoyeon had talked about her brother before. I also talked about my oppa!】
【At that time, I thought he was Seon-gyu, and I thought you were Kang-hu. Now that I think about it, I was talking about the same person under a different name?】
【I just talked to Seoyeon on the phone. Is this okay? It was filmed properly on Eclipse?】
It must have been quite boring to see the tenacity of Yoon Sang-mi, who wrote down everything she had to say even though there was no reply.
Kanghu sent a reply.
【Go to the Eclipse website and look at the kill list. How many branches are hanging? There are over 200 of them, including me. Don’t worry.】
【Well. And I don’t think it would be dangerous if it were my brother.】
【Ah! I was so grateful for taking care of me last time. It was the first nursing I received in my life.】
[I wish you would just put saliva in your mouth and lie. It’s okay and I’m doing well. See you later.】
【Be careful, too.】
Although it was a short text conversation, I was really grateful for Yoon Sang-mi’s concern for me.
Exchanging sincere concerns is obviously impossible without a warm heart.
“I need to get some sleep quickly.”
Kanghu immediately lay down on the bed. Then, like always, I put on some classical music and went to sleep.
It’s time to accelerate your recovery by taking advantage of the constellation effect.

That time.
Baek Seon-tae, who returned to his home after a tiring day, could not take his eyes off the monitor.
Although Baek Seon-tae, a member of the Yeosu warlord Jagang, has no reason to be interested in news from other regions.
Still, there was a lot of interest in Eclipse, which is quite notorious in Korea.
In particular, I always watched with interest the list of targets to kill that Eclipse announces every month.
Usually, the fact that your name is listed there means that you are a very picky and difficult opponent.
In general, before being put on the kill list, they are all eliminated by those represented by the Inspector Hound.
But right then.
“uh?”
The face of the person updated to the latest list was all too familiar.
A man I knew as Jeong Seon-gyu.
A man who was a fellow assassin but at the same time made Baek Seon-tae think that he wanted to learn properly.
That person was on the kill list. And that too under his real name, Shin Kang-hoo.
“Seon-gyu, no, Kang-hoo, killed Cha So-hee and Jin Hyo-young? Or rather, when did Cha So-hee die?”
If you are blind to the news of the world, you will find out the truth too late.
Although Cha So-hee died a long time ago, we only found out about it because it was kept confidential.
I had only met Cha So-hee once, and she was a hunter whose outstanding ability to use flames left me tongue-in-cheek.
Baek Seon-tae felt at a loss as to how to deal with someone with such flame-type abilities.
It is said that the hunting dog that was highly favored by Kang Dong-hyeon was killed by Kang Hu. The same goes for Jin Hyo-young.
“My eyes weren’t wrong.”
He bit his lip.
From the first time I saw Ganghu, I thought he was unusual, but it was just like that.
Of course, there were some regrets.
“Please contact me, but you really won’t… Every single movement was truly a work of art.”
Kang-hoo’s contact information and SNS, which he unilaterally accepted, are still quiet.
I was secretly wondering if they would have contacted me a little earlier, but I was worried that if things continued like this, I would forget about them.
“Should I end my life in Yeosu? “It’s not fun and I’m tired of being the alley leader.”
Baek Seon-tae’s eyes deepened as he habitually lifted a can of beer to his mouth.
Isn’t it true that if you want to become big, you have to play in big water? No matter how much he thought about it, Yeosu was narrow to him.
And somehow.
I thought that if I followed Kang-hoo, there would be a breakthrough that could overcome the current stagnant growth.
Yes, it was a vague expectation. However, Kang-hu seemed to know a different path than his own.

The darkness that filled the early morning cleared and a red sky slowly peeked out from the eastern sky.
Emilia, who was about to return to France on a flight booked for the morning, reopened her locked suitcase.
This is because the schedule has changed.
It was the person she was talking to that changed her mind, as she rarely cancels her schedule.
“Vincent, what kind of wind is blowing here all of a sudden?”
It was Vincent Maier.
They were members of the same group of thirteen stars and had known each other for a long time. Of course it wasn’t close.
Because we have never revealed our true feelings to each other. He was closer to a thorough business partner.
– I’m going with El. I thought I would travel to Korea and see some of the faces I can see.
“Now that I think about it, there are a lot of people gathered in Korea, right? Casey has also signed an agreement with the Jeonghwa Guild and is attacking their dungeons…”
– Yu Chenghwa is still there. Jang Si-hwan and Chae Gwan-hyung will come out of the dungeon if you wait. If the circumstances arise, can’t you call Takashi too?
“Those hikikomori don’t come out. Even if you come, the self-immolation will always come.”
– Because the alter ego comes, the main body comes. That’s it.
“This is it. “Can you tell me in advance? What if I suddenly make plans?”
– I’ll charge you double the price of the canceled flight. So, delay it for a moment. Let me see your face.
“okay. Call me as soon as you get to Seoul. “This will be my first time greeting you, Elizabeth.”
– L also has high expectations for you. So you admitted that you are a more beautiful person than yourself?
“Don’t fight in a strange place and come quickly.”
– It’s about to take off. I’ll see you when I get off.
The place seemed bigger than I thought.
Jang Si-hwan, Chae Gwan-hyung, Yoo Cheong-hwa, Casey Rex, Elizabeth Vincent Meyer, and even himself.
Participation of at least seven people is confirmed. If I have the chance, I can call Takashi in Japan.
It was fun to meet my colleagues, but I was curious about why Vincent came to Korea.
He is not someone who travels just because he wants to see people. Definitely something to see.
It was true that it was stuck somewhere, but I couldn’t guess what it was.
“Should we eat something to welcome the kids?”
Emilia always enjoys cooking, so she thought she would show off her cooking skills for the first time in a while.
On the other hand, I also wanted to see the reaction of Elizabeth, who joined as a new face this time.
Is the Saint of Salvation truth or hypocrisy? Emilia thought it was the latter with a 99% probability.
Because this is a fucking world where it works much better to pretend to be the truth than to tell the truth.

morning.
Kang-hu arrived at Jeju Airport as planned and smiled at the warm energy he felt as soon as he got off.
I haven’t seen the city in person yet, but just feeling the warm energy surrounding my whole body.
I was instantly in a better mood as I felt like I had returned to my peaceful and cozy hometown. It was like magic.
At the airport, the procedures were carried out in conjunction with the Hunter Public Security Agency and the Guru Guild.
Because very high security standards were applied, a large number of criminals were caught during the inspection and search stage.
Even when Kang-hoo entered, two hunters were already being dragged somewhere in handcuffs.
just as expected.
Numerous electronic displays within the airport displayed information about the just-arrested Hunter and a list of his crimes.
【Daegi Oh】
【Injured Hunter ‘Kim Seok’ at a public gambling house in Jeongseon, Gangwon-do, stole 1 billion won and ran away.】 【
Jugwang】
【Unilaterally assaulted a female passenger sitting next to him on a KTX train heading to Seoul Station. Escape.】
Usually, charges filed with the Hunter Public Security Office are recorded, and the same was true for the two hunters.
If you die without leaving a trace, like Kang-hu did, or if you kill someone who deserves to die, you will not be charged.
To be precise, even if there are suspicions, it is closer to knowing and pretending not to know.
Anyway, there was no problem with Kanghu, so he was able to quickly go through the formalities and get out of the gate.
A number of guilds were working hard to promote themselves near the airport, and they were guilds specializing in gathering, mining and exploration.
Perhaps the core elements will be monopolized by the Guru Guild and the rest will be subcontracted.
Otherwise, such active recruitment would not be permitted.
Right then.
“Shin Kang-hoo, here we are!”
An official from the Guru Guild recognized Ganghu and called his name.
When I turned my gaze, I saw a man wearing an epaulet depicting a laurel tree, which was also the symbol of the Guru Guild.
“That one?”
“Yes, that’s right. I came from the Guru Guild. We will take you safely to the meeting location. Come this way.”
The man bowed politely and said hello, then carefully pointed to the location where Ganghu should go.
Then, a safety limousine, which I had ridden once before thanks to Jeong Yu-ri, was prepared.
After picking up Ganghu, the man continued speaking cautiously.
“There may be some information you received earlier, but we have organized it to make it more readable. You can look at it this way.”
What the man handed over was much more neatly organized material than what he had previously received.
“thank you.”
“I will take you quietly to the scene. If you need me, please ring the bell. then.”
Soon, an internal barrier was raised to completely soundproof the driver’s seat and passenger seat.
At the same time, the barrier was activated.
It is a structure that ensures external soundproofing and bulletproofing. I felt the Guru Guild’s own consideration.
I looked at the contents again.
As you already knew, there were 9 members who would be together. Including Kang-hu, there are a total of 10 people.
The composition was a typical firepower combination.
One tank, four wizards and four archers.
This type is usually called a extreme deal pot. This is because it focuses on dealing damage.
What is the most important thing here? A tank, the only close range dealer and the core of aggro?
no.
“If there is no bleeding, all nine people will become sick.”
It was the existence of a bleeding dealer like Ganghu. This combination was missing the most important puzzle.
