The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 140

Episode 140 Nikita Voronin (2)

* * *

Kang-hu, who was resting well at the villa, received a call from Majin-ho.

Since we did not exchange numbers, we were contacted through a direct phone located in the villa.

I was told there would be no need to call for a long time, but it seemed like an issue had arisen.

“Yes, this is Shin Kang-hoo.”

– This is Majinho. Is it okay to talk to you for a moment? I’m sorry you must have been resting.

“it’s okay. Because I wasn’t sleeping. “What’s going on?”

– There is a guest who would like to meet Shin Kang-hoo. However, you cannot arbitrarily arrange a seat.

“Me?”

– Yes, it is.

Kanghu tilted his head.

There are no acquaintances who know that they are here now. He also has the personality of not telling me everything.

When Ma Jin-ho spoke like that, no one could guess that he was an outsider.

“Who is it?”

– This is Nikita Voronin. He is an executive of the Kashmar Guild and a manager on the Korean side.

“Nikita Voronin….”

It’s not a name I know.

Although the Kashmar Guild was often mentioned in the original work, the character Nikita Voronin was never mentioned. It appears he is not a high-ranking executive.

However, the fact that it came from the Casmar Guild bothered me.

Of course, someone like Ma Jin-ho would not have a bad perception of the Casmar Guild.

You will be looking at their staged appearance, well packaged like the Jeonghwa guild. You probably don’t know the hidden truth.

However, from the perspective of Ganghu, who had a bad relationship with the Casmar Guild, this meeting could not be welcomed.

This is because Jeon Jong-du’s Osho mercenary group, which was under the Casmar Guild, was disbanded by him.

About the death of Jeon Jong-du, information must have been leaked in various ways and his face must have become known.

It wouldn’t have taken long to find out that the target was Shin Kang-hoo.

The information power of the Casmar Guild is sufficient.

I guess the reason I came here was because I received information. Information must have been leaked at Jeju Airport.

‘Seeing as he requested a formal meeting, it doesn’t seem like he intends to fight. If that were the case, I would have chosen a different method.’

Using Majinho as an intermediary seemed to focus on the conversation at first.

I missed meeting you.

This is a good opportunity to hear the story of what came to mind.

On the one hand, we can gauge how the Casmar Guild is accepting the Jeon Jong-du incident.

– What would you like to do?

“Let’s meet. “I just don’t want to bother going out.”

– Don’t worry. I will go with Nikita myself. I will also protect your seat.

“Then come here.”

– Yes, I will.

That’s how I met Nikita.

An uninvited guest from the Casmar Guild. I was quite excited to see what kind of story he would open.

It might not be a very good thing, though.

* * *

1 hour later.

Kanghu and Nikita met in a conference room outside the villa.

And Majinho decided to take charge of the conference room security himself.

This is because when two people meet for the first time, unexpected situations can occur.

For example, this was to prevent physical conflict or other extreme situations from occurring.

Kanghu and Nikita stared at each other as they sat across from each other with an appropriately sized round table in the center.

‘I’ll be level 400.’

Looking at the number of constellations Nikita possesses, it was not difficult to guess his level.

Considering the size of the Kashmar Guild, he is at the level of a mid-level executive. But it is by no means a low level.

It was Nikita who spoke first.

“The actions of Shin Kang-hoo, who destroyed the Osho mercenary group and wiped out its remnants, are quite a feat.”

Is this an out-of-body speech technique?

I can’t believe he was praising me for naturally destroying the mercenary group under his guild.

Kanghu answered with a bewildered laugh.

“Bezumiye was also at the scene. “If he wasn’t an idiot, even a passing dog would know that Jeon Jong-doo is in the Casmar Guild’s skirt.”

Nikita laughed at Kanghu’s answer.

“Haha, is that right? well. I don’t know. “Aren’t the dead silent?”

“Are you going to turn away?”

“No matter how high you value the dead, it is still not as valuable as the living. “I think so.”

“You want to throw it away and get a new ship because it’s dead?”

“That is too simple. “Our Kashmar Guild has long been giving preference to talented people.”

“It was a small compliment. “Please tell me exactly what you want to say.”

“Kashmar Guild will definitely look after you. Are you looking to build power in Gangwon-do?”

“It’s bullshit that I want you to become the next Jeon Jong-du.”

“It’s not bullshit. Anyway, if we look after him properly, he won’t die like Jeon Jong-du.”

“Then shouldn’t you have looked after Jeon Jong-du like that right away?”

“Because he’s not the kind of guy worth it.”

Nikita answered plainly.

Then Kang-hoo also lowered his slightly angry voice and spoke calmly in his original tone.

“If you need a bleeding dealer, let me know. That’s why I’m in Jeju Island right now. “I can go on business trips to Russia as much as I want.”

“Shin Kang-hoo.”

“…?”

“I’m not asking you to commit a crime. “It’s about giving a new life to hunters who have been eliminated.”

After hearing this, Kang-hu couldn’t believe his ears for a moment. Is it possible to package an absurd story like this?

If you were to reduce what Nikita just said to four words, it would be human trafficking.

They are talking about arbitrarily taking hunters and selling their human bodies as if they are giving them new life.

“Why did you guys decide that?”

“There are more hunters who die and go missing than new hunters. “Shouldn’t there be no hunters dying meaninglessly?”

“So why are you giving it that meaning?”

The respect and respect that had been maintained with minimal courtesy ended there.

What Nikita said was not a joke. It was a sincerity spoken with conviction.

So I was even more scared. Without changing his expression, he justifies the crime by talking about values.

“It’s true that I am in a gray area. But I didn’t give up on being human. it’s okay. “Let’s go back.”

“It’s a shame. I thought the conversation would go well. “Isn’t it the nature of a hunter to pursue utility and profit?”

“I won’t do it because I pursue utility and profit. “Why are you doing something you never know will happen?”

“It’s such a pity.”

“I feel sorry too. I never imagined you guys would be this annoying. Find out the other guy. “I’m done.”

I stood up.

Let’s say you give in a thousand times and accept Nikita’s offer. Will it really be as they say?

I was sure that it was not Ganghu.

What if Kang-hu’s value is gone and he is in danger? Like Jeon Jong-du, he will be thrown away without mercy.

This conversation could not have been established from the beginning. Kang-hoo knew it too, but the conversation ended as expected.

Nikita also stood up with a wry smile.

It seems like he seriously thought that a conversation with Kang-hu might work. That’s why he was a scarier person.

* * *

After I buried what happened with Nikita as just an unpleasant incident.

The second dungeon raid promised with the Guru Guild took place at noon the next day.

It was a very small dungeon attack with a fairly short travel distance, so it ended around evening.

Kanghu’s level dropped to 165, which was just right. Now level 200 is starting to come into view.

And each of them had one orange magic stone from the middle boss and main boss as loot.

Thanks to this, I came out of the dungeon and disposed of this, and my bank account balance increased to 105 billion won.

Again.

The foundation to comfortably purchase a level 2 item has been prepared.

And I was able to obtain quite useful skills from each boss by stealing them.

【Agility Enhancement A】

【Skill Proficiency: Lv. Max]

【Passive skill. Increases the efficiency of the constant agility stat by 7.5%.】

Although it is not a concept of increasing the stat in the stat window, it functions like a buff skill that is applied at all times.

Strengthening agility is the lowest level passive skill at A.

Afterwards, it was the first start this time with the percentage increasing as the alphabet went backwards.

【Scars of Fire】

【Skill Proficiency: Lv. Max]

【Passive skill. Permanently increases absolute fire resistance by 2.5%.】

In addition, thanks to the scars of fire, the total absolute fire resistance value has increased to 10%.

This figure is added to the 7.5% obtained previously.

Now, you can receive 10% damage unconditionally from fire-type attacks.

What if the day comes when it becomes 100%? At that time, you won’t have to be afraid of flame skills.

For example.

Even if you pass over a blazing fire, you can remain in good health. Thanks to my tolerance.

In Jeju Island, where he came with an unexpected proposal, Kang-hoo received many benefits like a gift.

Four skills were added. The balance increased so drastically that it was ridiculous.

In addition, you can experience an explosive level up by visiting the imbalance point.

Everything was a perfect journey.

Ganghu boarded the plane, leaving behind such happy memories and a meaningful connection to the Guru Guild.

Since I was involved with Nikita, I didn’t want to stay on Jeju Island for a long time.

* * *

Elizabeth. Vincent. Emilia. Yu Cheonghwa. Casey. And even Takashi’s alter ego.

A total of 6 people gathered at the table.

Jang Si-hwan and Chae Gwan-hyung, who are still conquering the Dungeon of Judgment, were inevitably unable to participate.

After confirming that everyone had gathered, it was Vincent who opened the conversation first.

This is because it was my first time meeting and I brought a new colleague, Elizabeth. I needed to say hello.

“This is Elizabeth, who has joined our Justice team this time. “She’s as beautiful as I heard, right?”

‘Justice’ mentioned by Vincent. It was a word referring to thirteen stars.

This is because at this time, all thirteen stars had not yet gathered. In other words, there were not thirteen people.

Therefore, Justice, which was chosen as a tentative name rather than an official name, became the word symbolizing this group.

The name Thirteen Stars was confirmed after the thirteenth member joined.

Justice did not yet have 13 members. Of course, there wasn’t much time left.

– nice to meet.

At that time, the first person to shake Elizabeth’s hand was Takashi’s alter ego.

Takashi’s alter ego, who participated in a traditional warrior cosplay, spoke Takashi’s words through a speaker attached to his mouth.

“ah. Nice to meet you. I heard a lot about it. “He’s someone I can’t see face to face.”

Elizabeth smiled and held her clone’s hand. It’s a cold hand that can’t feel any body temperature at all.

While each person’s first greeting with Elizabeth proceeded.

Vincent naturally started talking about the purpose of this visit.

“Everyone saw it, right? A new acquirer of the hidden skill has appeared. “I am convinced that the owner appeared in Korea.”

This is not all I came to Korea for, but it was also a question I really wanted to answer.

The first to react to Vincent’s words was Casey Rex.

He was the master of the Fortuna guild with impressive purple eyes as deep as amethyst.

“I guess I came here because I didn’t see anything nice about other people. “Do you really want to take away my hidden skills like that?”

Vincent shook his head at Casey’s words.

“It’s not because other people are doing well! It’s true that hidden skills belong to those who deserve them. “It means that it is a blessing that should not be easily obtained by a lucky person.”

“So, it’s because my stomach hurts. “Why are you talking around like this? It’s not like you.”

“Fuck you.”

Casey’s words were correct.
