The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 15

Episode 15: Wuthering Heights (2)

* * *

After getting off at Yongsan Station, Kang-hu had some free time.

This is because, unlike before, the number of trains heading to Gapyeong has decreased due to fewer people visiting the area.

The first place Kanghu stopped by was the Hunter Market located within Yongsan Station.

Because it is a market operated directly by the Hunter Public Security Agency, it is large in scale and has many items handled internally.

He has a total of 200 million won.

I looked around to find the best items within the range of spending the maximum amount of money, and it paid off.

【Ecstasy in the Sky – Weapon】

【Grade: Level 5】

【Strength +50】

【When out of combat for more than 30 minutes, the speed of health recovery increases by 5 times.】

An item that can be quite helpful in recovering health when sleeping or resting well. It was.

Of course, it is not conditionally all-purpose. Because non-combat status means not using any mana.

This is not common in areas outside the metropolitan area, where you must always be alert and careful about your surroundings.

Still, my strength increased significantly.

When I threw away the practice dagger that only increased my strength by 1 and changed my weapon, the feeling changed dramatically.

Kanghu grabbed a rock he had picked up from the flower bed in front of the station and gave it strength.

Wood-dud-dud-duk. Crack.

A stone that I would not normally have dared to crush was broken into pieces.

‘Yes, this is what strength is like.’

Thanks to the incredible power of the skill, there were some parts that had been put on the back burner.

In fact, strength, which is the basis of all strength, has never been unimportant.

Just because you are an assassin class doesn’t necessarily mean you need to be agile and move quickly.

The raw power to instantly raise one’s physical strength to the limit and suffocate the enemy is also important.

‘It is true that mana hypersensitivity makes me very nervous every time I fight…’

Ganghu habitually ran his fingertips across his forehead and evaluated himself.

Mana hypersensitivity certainly has its pros and cons, but the pros overwhelmingly outweigh the cons.

The same was true for the battle that took place at Club Hades.

Aside from the side effects, Ganghu was able to pour out his skills without hesitation because he did not have to worry about mana.

It was completely different from other hunters who had to worry about mana depletion.

I wonder how many times Yoon Sang-mi asked, ‘Aren’t you low on mana?’

It must have been because I didn’t understand.

at that time.

Gurgling!

The sound of thunder was heard from the boat that had been holding back. When I thought about it, I hadn’t eaten anything since dawn.

“For the first time in a while, I’ll have to experience Seoul’s waterfront.”

I know it’s expensive, but you can’t prepare for a dungeon without eating anything.

I headed to the restaurant.

and.

“Rib soup. “150,000 won per bowl.”

I encountered the waterside of Seoul.

The prices of food in Seoul, where the noble values of peace and life are embedded in food prices, were truly murderous.

I’m not the type of person who likes to eat delicious food, but I had no choice but to make an exception for myself today.

After eating a bowl of rib soup worth 150,000 won without leaving even a trace of broth or pepper, I walked along the street near the station.

The sky was obviously cloudy, just like at Daejeon Station, but it felt strangely warm and gentle.

It’s probably because of my mood.

The world seems different because you are confident that nothing will happen here.

“Aaaah! Over there! They said they came that way! I guess I turned the car around on the way! Let’s go quickly!”

“Oh really? “Why is it so hard to see your brothers’ faces?”

“Run quickly! “If you’re late, you can’t even take pictures!”

At that time, women who looked to be well over 30 raced to the front and started running hard.

There was so much enthusiasm and cheering that it made you wonder if a celebrity had come.

The people Kang Hu saw were only a small number, and people were flocking from the other side as well.

‘no way.’

There was something to point out.

Kanghu quickly joined the crowd and ran. There were quite a few men among the crowd.

When I arrived at the crowded place, I could understand the reason for this explosive reaction.

‘also······.’

A group of hunters who had secured a route were forming up and heading to the dungeon south of Yongsan Station.

These are the hunters of the Jeonghwa Guild.

It is the undisputed number one guild in Korea with Jang Si-hwan as its master, and is also the ‘only’ guild in Seoul.

What this means is that if you exclude the Public Security Agency and the Purification Guild from the composition of Seoul’s hunters, there will be 0 people…

It was real, not a joke.

This is because the Jeonghwa guild absorbed all the guilds in Seoul or cleverly blamed them and disbanded them.

【Jang Si-hwan’s thoughts about Hunter and the organization he believed to be absolutely evil were surprisingly distorted.

In his delusions, the line between truth and lies became blurred, and sometimes lies became the truth.

He was obsessed with the proposition that the Jeonghwa Guild was absolutely good, and all his thoughts aligned with his delusion.

So, even until the moment the Demon King descended, he did not even realize that he had committed a great evil deed.】 Even if you

think about it again, the development of the story makes you wonder why they made such a sudden leap forward with such content in the last half of the story.

Part of the epilogue was that the so-called main character actually lived in delusions and dreams.

Because of this, it is inevitable that the series will be criticized and star-rated on the platform where it was published.

Anyway, Jeonghwa Guild was the only guild in Seoul, and people’s trust in them was beyond imagination.

So, it was only natural that a fandom would develop for the core members.

“Aaaah! “Oppa Gwan-hyung!”

“Oppa Gwan-hyung! Please take a look here! please! Just one picture!”

In particular, the person female fans were enthusiastic about was Chae Gwan-hyung.

He looked particularly good at violet-colored hair, and waved at people with a bright smile.

It is the complete opposite of Kang-hu’s expressionless and deep eyes that seem to contain all the darkness and sadness in the world.

‘You pretty much gave it to that guy too. How many constellations are there?’

Kang Hu looked at the constellation information on the red dot that was constantly blinking above Chae Gwan-hyeong’s head.

It was at least ten.

Fortunately, not all of it was displayed in the information window, so a […] mark was added and the content was collapsed.

of course.

Considering the rapid growth of Xinjianghu in the future after escaping from the concentration camp, it was a ‘moderate’ level of distribution.

Three years from now, Shin Kang-hoo will become a being who attracts all the luck and luck in the world.

However, I have no intention of spending the next three years without thinking about anything.

By the time they escape from the Cheongmyeong concentration camp and something unexpected in the original story has occurred, the story is already being twisted little by little.

‘Okay, I was missing something important. I only thought about what was given to me, so I passed it by…’

A thought suddenly occurred to me.

From now on, Jang Si-hwan and Chae Gwan-hyeong continue to grow by monopolizing various ventures.

It is a device in the novel that is naturally allowed to the protagonist and his companions.

Kang-hu thought that he should intervene in that element and turn the direction towards himself.

Because there is enough information.

Starting with items, relationships with other constellations, and even relationships with people who will be essential in the future.

There are many important things.

There are ample opportunities to intercept future benefits that they do not yet know about.

but.

‘The level is the problem.’

When all factors are considered.

I thought I had to be at least level 50.

That’s a number that I’ve just reduced and reduced, but if you think about it loosely, you should see it as high as 100.

‘First of all, fifty.’

Ganghu set a short-term goal.

My next thought is to throw it all away and just run to level 50.

Afterwards, think about the following.

I felt better because I felt like I had realized something I had overlooked in my frantic rush to adapt to reality.

In fact, the most delicious thing is to steal and eat what someone else was eating.

That’s exactly what I’m thinking right now.

Okay.

Kanghu adjusted the coat he had packed in the chilly weather and headed back into Yongsan Station.

at that time.

“Don’t you think that oppa is also handsome?”

“Oh really. He looks like Minho from Nine Boys! “Isn’t she much prettier than Minho?”

“Who is it?”

Women who recognized Kang-hu’s appearance, who had been quietly buried in the crowd, began to murmur.

Although she had a pale, bloodless face, she could not hide the beauty hidden within it.

Rather, there was even a corner that strangely stimulated the protective instinct.

However, no one could carelessly approach a man they had met for the first time without even knowing who he was.

So Kanghu left Yongsan Station leisurely.

It’s clear that you have a short-term goal!

That alone made the 150,000 won galbitang I ate at Yongsan Station meaningful.

* * *

Around evening.

Kanghu arrived at Gapyeong Station at the promised time and immediately received the quick delivery sent by Master K.

I was happy as if I owned the world as I put ten solariums in my inner pocket, as if I were filling a safe with cash.

“It’s too quiet.”

I think that could be the case on a weekday night since it is outside of Seoul and not inside.

Still, there must have been a lot of people who took the last train from Yongsan, but when I got off, there was no one there.

Anyway, I finished checking again the items I was wearing and the emergency food medicine Solarchyum.

With this, preparations to enter the dungeon are complete.

I was familiar with the information about the dungeon shared in advance, and all that was left was to wait for the entry time.

however.

– please! I’ll give you everything I have, so send it to me! Please, please, please!

A woman’s voice was heard, not close to the source, but far enough to be heard.

I was hearing something that could have been related to a crime of such bad quality that I couldn’t just ignore it.

– I don’t need everything I have. Just give me your body for a moment. Can I borrow it?

– Now the last train has passed and there is no police station nearby. I’m tired of screaming so just give up.

– Do you think a prince on a white horse will show up? I’m sorry, but we’ve been decapitating those bastards.

– Kill, kill!

At least four voices were heard. Of course, there may be some who did not speak, so the minimum value is 4.

Since it was also a travel route in the first place, Kanghu walked steadily towards the place where the voice was heard.

Perhaps because it was a route heading north from Exit 1 of Gapyeong Station, there weren’t particularly many people.

The only convenience store that was there was closed before the sun set.

“······.”

In a dark alley, I saw a woman being harassed by four men.

Although there were buildings up to three stories on either side, it was an empty building where people had long since left.

“help! please!”

The woman who made eye contact with Kang-hu cried out in sorrow. At the same time, the gang’s gaze also turned to Kang-hoo.

“hey. It’s not some kind of novel. Do you think he’ll come forward and save the day like the main character? “Why don’t we just go on our way?”

“If you don’t want to get stabbed in the heart, go your own way. uh?”

I could feel traces of mana along the daggers that the two guys in front were twirling.

It’s a hunter.

So, the momentum has to be high.

Kang-hu turned his head and left the scene without saying anything. It was a step that seemed to have no regrets at all.

“Look! Clack! The world is not that novel-like? Let’s take it off quietly. “Then I’ll treat you gently.”

“Hehehe!”

When the four guys noticed that Kang-hoo was gone, they raced to unzip their pants and try to have some fun.

Phew!

One hunter who could hear sounds quite well stopped pulling down his pants when he heard the sound of wind coming from somewhere.

Right then.

Phew!

“Wow!”

Suddenly, Ganghu appeared and briefly stabbed one of the guys ‘there’.

It was a passing attack, but the area between his groins was completely covered in blood from that single attack.

It appeared not on the southern road where Ganghu disappeared, but on the northern road, which was an uninhabited area.
