The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 152

Episode 152: Treatment (2)

* * *

Meanwhile, Ye-rin Lee was able to check on-site news from Jeongmoon Pharmaceutical, who was the client.

It is said that Kanghu safely delivered the Red Key.

Needless to say, he resisted the pursuit of Jeung Seon-rak, the leader of the mercenary army.

It is said that they went one step further and cut off Jeung Seon-rak’s fingers. Losing the ring item is a bonus.

“I never imagined that success wasn’t enough and that I would even hit the captain.”

Yerin Lee stuck her tongue out.

The phrase “seeing more than what you imagine” was a phrase that suited Kanghu perfectly.

Since I was a strong person, I thought I could succeed in this request where everyone else had failed. Of course I had expectations.

However, I thought that if a strong external force intervened in the process, the possibility would disappear altogether.

Jeung Seon-rak was not just a mercenary guarding the lab, but their leader.

To be honest, Ye-rin Lee was confident that if she had fought against Jeung Seon-rak, she would not have lasted even a few seconds.

That’s why levels exist.

Gap between skills and stats. Add to this the gap in experience, and it becomes a huge wall that is difficult to overcome.

But Kang-hu turned this common sense on its head.

It was clear that anyone who heard this news would have the same reaction as he did.

Jeongmoon Pharmaceutical also said that it would like to check the security of other research institutes through Kanghu in the future.

This is a task to check which direction of the research center is best for penetration and whether the defenses are weak.

This request is only meaningful if you are a hunter with skills and good eyesight, and it seems that he decided that Kanghu would be the perfect candidate.

“The stimulation is strong….”

Yerin Lee bit her lip.

She was an excellent intermediary in receiving and providing guidance, but before that, she was also a hunter.

It was true that I was envious of Kanghu’s remarkable growth. I also developed a desire to follow along.

Thinking about the level I was at when I first met Kang-hoo, I felt like my growth was insignificant.

Of course, from the third party’s perspective, Lee Ye-rin’s growth was also very fast.

However, since Lee Ye-rin made a relative evaluation based on Kang-hu, it could not help but feel infinitely slow.

“Are you really going to lift the restrictions?”

Yerin Lee tore off a note that had been inserted into a file related to Ganghu.

It was a note that set the maximum level of the request to 350, considering Ganghu’s current level.

This means that the upper limit is the number of requests that can be proposed to a level 350 hunter.

Considering Ganghu’s current level, it was an extremely high evaluation, more than twice as high.

However, this limitation also seemed meaningless.

Would level 400 be enough to beat Jeungseonrak? No, that’s low too.

“Okay, let’s solve it. If you solve it and make a suggestion, you will automatically accept it according to your level of difficulty. Lift restrictions.”

Clumsy!

Yerin Lee threw the crumpled note into the trash can.

To Kang-hu, restrictions are meaningless. And since Kang-hu makes the choice anyway, there is nothing to worry about.

I also thought it was meaningless for her to judge whether it was possible or impossible.

Isn’t that right?

If you look at Kang-hoo, he succeeds in all the requests that were thought to fail.

“I need to start accepting overseas requests soon. “The brokerage fee is much higher and there are many attractive requests.”

Yerin Lee has decided on a new direction. Kang-hoo is now one of his VIP clients.

In that case, it seemed like a good request would be one that would be attractive to Kang-hu and at the same time earn him a large allowance.

The domestic mercenary market clearly has its limits. I felt like I wanted to expand the scope of Kanghu’s activities.

* * *

“…I am also a human being.”

Kanghu opened his eyes after sleeping for a full day.

Because I slept with the blackout curtains closed, I didn’t notice the passage of time. That was one day.

Thanks to this, the view outside the window was the same as before I went to sleep.

Except for the fact that the date and day recorded on the smartphone have shifted back by one day.

I felt refreshed, as if my body, which had seemed so sinking and broken, had completely recovered.

Kanghu felt relieved at the same time as he thought about his body experiencing both highs and lows.

My body has never been this hard before, so at one point I thought my body didn’t know pain.

I wondered if my body was not functioning properly because there was a problem with some of my receptors.

It was a pointless worry.

When you are in pain, it is your body that cries out in pain. It was infinitely honest.

“I feel strange.”

It felt exactly like the moment when my surging sexual desire was relieved all at once.

After pushing your body to its limit, you feel quite relieved to recover with sufficient rest.

I felt like it was perverted to feel pleasure during this process, but I liked it anyway.

If you feel this kind of pleasure, you are welcome to feel it often. This means that you have demonstrated your skills properly on the battlefield.

“It was a discharge.”

I didn’t get a single phone call while I was sleeping, so I thought I had a good night’s sleep, but when I looked at my smartphone, it was dead.

I don’t know when it turned off, but it seems like it happened shortly after I fell asleep.

When I connected the charger and turned on my smartphone, the first thing I saw was a call from Park Dong-jae.

【Hyung, do you know? A person targeting my brother recently entered the country. This is reliable information.】

【The name is Cha So-hyuk. Hunter from ‘The Sun’ and Cha So-hee’s older brother. It was verified through the black network.】

It seemed like it must have been obtained from a very deep source for it to be lumped together as insider information.

At this point, it means that there are insiders among executives at mid-level or higher, but I can’t even imagine how much effort it took to produce it.

What Kang-hu has always been disappointed with is the information network, which has limitations in the process of securing it alone.

This is because Lee Ye-rin was also closer to a request-oriented source of information and had a broad view of the domestic market.

However, Park Dong-jae may be lacking in macro aspects.

He stood out in detail and deep dive into information in a certain field.

This is why Kang-hoo highly evaluates Park Dong-jae’s usefulness. It has high value as a buffer and as a source of information.

I was very satisfied that Park Dong-jae believed in me, followed me, and paid meticulous attention to me.

“Cha So-hyuk.”

This is a person I don’t remember.

In the original work, Cha So-hee was portrayed as Kang Dong-hyun’s confidant, but she was not a hunter who was treated with much importance.

Therefore, it is unlikely that even his own brother would have been treated with such care. No name was even mentioned.

However, as he began to live the life of Shin Kang-hoo, an inseparable relationship with Cha So-hee developed.

In the process, Cha So-hee died, creating a new evil relationship. It is an evil relationship linked by blood.

There is no doubt that he has come to avenge his dead sister.

There seems to be no way to avoid it. Of course, I have no intention of avoiding it.

“I’ll be persistent until it’s over.”

Kang-hoo eased his stiff neck from side to side and checked the additional data attached by Park Dong-jae.

Level is between 350 and 400. A swordsman with an extreme dealing style who uses his greatsword aggressively.

It may be said to be a terrible death, but from an assassin’s perspective, it was in the top 5 difficult concepts to deal with.

I’m not sure if there’s a class that isn’t difficult, but for a swordsman like that who’s extremely dangerous, you could lose your life in one hit.

A class with a single-hit killing ability was clearly the opposite of an assassin with a relatively poor ability to withstand it.

at that time.

Ugh!

Park Dong-jae was contacted directly.

I wonder if the timing is good.

Or, I wondered if he had called right away after finding out that I had confirmed the contact.

“Yes, Dongjae.”

– brother! Did you see the content?

“I saw. “Thank you for the information.”

– What am I thankful for? Since it was part of the information we collected regularly anyway, I didn’t really pay any attention to it!

“anyway.”

Park Dong-jae’s reaction is very obvious in pretending that it’s not a big deal.

It is safe to say that the more you say things like that, the more you care, paradoxically. If you have a personality like Park Dong-jae.

– brother! Are you thinking of going to the dungeon? This time, the famous guild gave me consideration for a dungeon!

“Are you considerate of the dungeon?”

– What are you giving me a chance to get in? You could call it a license rental. That would be the correct expression.

Is this the power of personal connections?

This happens because you know someone and that person is of high value.

Dungeon raiding is always a welcome proposition for Ganghu, who has few personally owned dungeons.

Especially in places you have never been to, the value rises explosively.

This is because you can definitely steal the skill by simply eliminating the middle boss or main boss.

Of course, Kang-hoo has never been to the dungeon that Park Dong-jae asked about, so it would be beneficial just to go there.

“What kind of dungeon is it?”

– This place is a bit special. To be precise, I was guided to a special entrance to an open dungeon.

“So, when we go in, a passage will appear instead of a dungeon right away.”

– that’s right! You have to go in once more at the end of the passage to enter the open dungeon.

“Any other peculiarities?”

– It’s a place where hunters from all over the world gather. You’ll probably see quite a few foreign hunters.

“Instead, isn’t it possible to go backwards through the passage we each used?”

– huh. Let’s say the passage we entered is passage A and the passage the other hunters entered is passage B. We can’t go over there using passage B.

“I roughly understand the structure.”

– Recommended level 300. The internal management entity is an American guild called Canis, which only controls the main area.

“I get it. “What date do you want?”

– Tomorrow night at 9pm. how is it? I’ll take a map of the meeting place and send it to you as soon as the call ends.

“okay. Let’s do it tomorrow night. “I’ll see you then.”

I came up with a schedule that was unplanned but was sure to bring unexpected benefits.

The cases related to Lee Hyun-seok and Ahn Young-ho are secured dungeons, so you can get them at any time.

It is rare for an opportunity like this to suddenly arise again. It may not exist at all.

A dungeon that connects with hunters from other countries. I also thought that I needed to be as careful as I was curious.

There is still time left before the sun rises.

Kang-hu, who had been sleeping all day and couldn’t sleep well, suddenly thought of Hunter Gram.

Instead of looking at the content recommended by AI through inertia, I was looking for people I wanted to see.

Since it was a famous person’s hunter gram, it immediately appeared at the top as soon as I entered the name.

【Akiyama Takashi】

Takashi Akiyama, one of Japan’s named hunters. He is also a member of the Thirteen Stars.

There are many words that describe Takashi, but there is one core that runs through them.

“sport.”

For that reason, the public perception was not very good. You can often see malicious comments on Hunter Gram.

Moreover, the thirteen stars thought of Takashi as a variant and did not get close to him.

If you look at the original work, Takashi would always do a lot of different things when the thirteen stars were meeting.

It feels like I’m not concentrating in the meeting. It was exactly the feeling of a five-year-old child not being able to concentrate.

For that reason, I didn’t pay much attention to Takashi’s words and actions.

I was closer to notifying them when something was decided, and Takashi had no particular complaints.

Still, thanks to Yu Qinghua and Emilia taking care of Takashi like an older sister, he wasn’t completely alienated.

However, Chae Gwan-hyeong hated Takashi and would openly say that he should be kicked out of Thirteen Stars.

“Actually, if you just look at the picture now, he’s the one that can be separated from the thirteen stars first.”

Kang Hu’s eyes deepened.

I thought that Takashi, who had the least sense of belonging, might be able to shake his heart somehow.

I think it is a good time as there is an issue of going to Japan due to the Ahn Young-ho case.

By now, eight of the thirteen stars have gathered together. Five still remain.

I wanted to create a rift within them before they formed a full-fledged structure.

As if quietly releasing poison.
