The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 197

Episode 197: The Chaser (2)

“I’m tired of cup rice…”

A man is sitting roughly on a creaky chair, stuffing cup rice with a stale smell into his mouth.

Takashi was too lazy to go out today, so he was eating a cup of rice that he didn’t even know when he bought it.

Put a spoonful of rice in your mouth.

After that, I started typing hard on the keyboard and chatting with someone.

There were about ten people in a separately activated chat room, and the name of the chat room was ‘Taki Fam’.

Although it wasn’t intentional, it was a gathering of friends since Takashi opened an anonymous chat room five years ago.

There were ten people in total and they were all hunters.

We met each other only once in the beginning, but no one could talk and just hesitated, resulting in a disaster.

They were busy just paying attention and staring at their smartphones, as if there were 10 dumb people gathered together.

After that, offline meetings disappeared altogether and conversations took place in chat rooms that were always active.

Since Takashi was the one who first created the chat room, the name of the group naturally became Taki Fam.

Takashi didn’t attach any particular meaning to it, but his colleagues had slightly different thoughts.

Because among the people in this room right now, Takashi is the highest level and most well-known hunter.

Whatever the reason, there was a tendency to unite around Takashi. They called Takashi captain.

– Did you hear? I heard that Yuuji’s wounds were so serious that he received treatment from Kosuke?

– Gosuke?

– I mean Kosuke Nakanishi. That perverted sexual bastard.

– It seems like you were really in a hurry. They say that if you receive treatment from Kosuke, someone will fall asleep next to you.

– therefore. I guess the wounds suffered by the hunter who came from Korea were more serious than I thought.

Today’s topic was about Yuuji Ishihara, who was struck by Kanghu.

Each of them were hunters doing their own thing, and they had a lot of information, both positive and negative, so they often handled sensitive information.

The same goes for Yuuji.

The fact that such deep content came out means that the information came from Kosuke’s side.

Kosuke was a hunter who specialized in black magic and was able to grant life force from one living organism to another and heal him.

At first glance, it might seem like a good thing to do, but the problem was that saving one side meant killing the other.

In addition, he was criticized for having necrophilia and necrophilia.

Takashi, who was watching his colleagues’ conversation, was busy moving his fingers with a cup of rice stuffed in his mouth.

– That hunter from Korea. These days, you are getting to know me.

Even though I didn’t say anything, the corners of my mouth turned up as if I had just made a good friend.

This is because mentioning someone’s existence or name in Taki Fam means that they are worth that much.

The topic of today’s conversation is Kang-hoo, and I am emphasizing that there is a connection between myself and Kang-hoo.

This is because having such a strong person nearby also increases one’s value.

-Takashi How do you know that hunter? I heard you’re active in the Rikou guild right now?

– He came to visit me. He said he missed me so much.

– Damn. What about you, scratching your hair in the corner of the room and sticking your hand into your panties?

– Do you want to lose Nishida?

I am disappointed by the reaction of my colleagues who do not believe me even when I tell them the truth.

But it’s really true.

Kanghu said he really wanted to meet him through the Rikou Guild, and the meeting didn’t happen that way.

However, his colleagues at Taki Fam, who had seen Takashi for a long time, scoffed.

– No, it’s the way people get along with each other. Could it be that he was attracted to that hunter because he has that type of personality?

– Originally, there are people who only like people who others dislike. There’s no competition, right?

– Isn’t that the hunter guy? Takashi, that bastard. Was he gay?

– These bastards are so damn…

Is it because of the karma they have steadily accumulated? No matter how seriously I say it, it seems like they don’t believe me.

Same time.

In Daejeon, Cha So-hyuk was furious after hearing the news about Kang-hu behind his back.

Kang-hoo’s video posted on Hunter Gram showed that he was in Osaka.

I had been waiting for a long time, thinking that I would come to Daejeon, where the Cheongan mercenary group is located.

It was like shoveling in a remote place.

“I was doing a hit and run by myself. “Fuck you.”

Cha So-hyuk, who had a cigarette in his mouth while cursing crudely, nervously spit out smoke.

Next to him, Kim In-ho was fidgeting. Now that Kang-hu’s whereabouts are known, what happens next is expected.

“Sohyuk, I know what you’re thinking right now. “It’s best to be careful with international approaches.”

Given Cha So-hyuk’s fiery personality, it was obvious that he would go to Japan.

The two of them visited the charnel house where Cha So-hee was buried together today.

Cha So-hyuk swore again in front of Cha So-hee’s portrait. I will definitely kill Ganghu.

There is no way that Cha So-hyuk, who has only thoughts of revenge on his mind, will just ignore Kang-hoo’s location even after learning about it.

The problem is that Osaka is under the jurisdiction of the Ricou Guild.

If a murder case is committed incorrectly, problems may arise between the organization he belongs to, ‘Sun’, and the Ricou Guild.

“Don’t tell me it’s someone else’s business so easily, bro. Sohee is dead. “Are you telling me to just stay when the killer is alive and well?”

“If there is a dispute with the Ricou Guild, it may become difficult to work in Japan in the future.”

“Rikou Guild? Fuck you! So what? All I have to do is get revenge. “No matter what those bastards say!”

“Sohyuk.”

“Should I try killing my older brother or younger brother? Would you like to tell him to calm down and be careful even then?”

“….”

Kim In-ho also stuck out his tongue at Cha So-hyuk’s personality, which was his older brother and who just put it down to him in his sleep.

I understand how you feel, but I also know that the more you do that, the more calm you have to be.

However, it seemed that further persuasion would not work for Cha So-hyuk. The anger and hatred run so deep.

Realistic advice is needed.

Kim In-ho changed direction.

“Then don’t go straight to Osaka, go to Tokyo. “A member of the Toushi guild died horribly at the hands of Shin Kang-hu.”

“Are you willing to take revenge on Toushi Guild’s behalf?”

“Maybe we can get some support for that cause. “It will be more comfortable if you have Toushi Guild as your back.”

“Can I go and say something?”

“…no. Come with me. “I think it would be better for me to help you.”

Kim In-ho nodded as if resigned.

Due to Cha So-hyuk’s personality, there is no way for him to negotiate properly, and if he is unlucky, he will be hated by the Toushi Guild.

Rather than watching with my eyes open, I thought it would be better to help him properly from the side.

Now that this has happened, Cha So-hyuk’s revenge has become a fait accompli.

Since it was an order from Kang Tae-yang, the head of the organization, to assist Cha So-hyuk well, we cannot leave it alone.

but.

Kim In-ho was curious about how Cha So-hyuk, who is caught up in emotions and cannot make rational decisions, would fare against Kang-hoo.

Shin Kang-hoo looks like a cold-hearted hunter without blood or tears. Will Cha So-hyuk be able to defeat him?

next day.

Kanghu woke up after a good night’s sleep, looked at information related to the Shadow Dungeon, and made a plan for solo play.

yesterday.

Negotiations with Fumiya ended well.

I decided to borrow a strategy license for the Shadow Dungeon from Jigoku Guild.

In return, Kanghu decided to participate in the raid of a dungeon that Ricou Guild was having trouble clearing.

However, the plan was arranged so that Kang-hu’s request, who took more initiative and carried out the conversation, took precedence.

In other words, after going to Sapporo, he decided to participate in the attack on the Ricou Guild.

Then suddenly a phone call came. It was a call from Park Dong-jae.

I wasn’t able to contact you first while I was in Japan, but did you at least call to say hello?

To say that, Park Dong-jae must have a busy schedule, but it seemed like he had some important business to attend to.

“Oh, Dongjae.”

– brother. I tried not to contact you for fear that it would interfere with my brother’s sleep or activities.

“Tell me it’s okay.”

– Cha So-hyuk and Kim In-ho boarded a plane to Haneda Airport. It’s clear I’m going to Tokyo.

Looks like what’s coming is coming.

I had been thinking about the fight with Cha So-hyuk for a long time.

Moreover, this time it went viral through Hunter Gram, so there was no way it could just be overlooked.

In fact, it’s strange that we’ve only encountered it now. Even if there was a fight, it should have been fought long ago.

“Going to Tokyo would mean visiting the Toushi Guild.”

– I guess so. You dealt with a bastard from the Toushi Guild, right? I think that has something to do with it too.

“I can kind of picture it.”

According to what I heard from Park Dong-jae, Cha So-hyuk was a hot-tempered hunter with a strong tendency to improvise.

If I had known I was in Osaka, I would have rolled my eyes and boarded a plane to Osaka right away.

Otherwise, the fact that he decided quite rationally and went to Tokyo was probably due to the influence of a person named Kim In-ho.

– Are you okay, bro? How about moving the activity stage for a while? Could things go wrong?

“It’s a problem that needs to be resolved anyway. Running away or avoiding it doesn’t seem to be the answer.”

Kang Hu shook his head.

The reason I left Cha So-hyuk in Daejeon and came to Japan was not to avoid him.

I had some business to do in Japan, and I just didn’t want to go along with Cha So-hyuk’s rhythm.

But now it is different.

What if Cha So-hyuk leaves when he is creating his own area of activity in Japan?

It becomes difficult to come again next time. As long as Cha So-hyuk does not disappear, the bad relationship will not end.

At this point, I was thinking of cutting what I needed to cut.

Just as he was prepared to have a bad relationship with Eclipse when he killed Cha So-hee.

Of course, I didn’t know Cha So-hyuk existed at the time, but now that I know anyway, it’s an unavoidable relationship.

– Should I tell Sehyuk hyung?

“What are you going to do when a Korean hunter comes to Japan and dances with you? it’s okay. “Thank you for recognizing me, Dongjae.”

– I’m a little worried.

“Trust me, I have an idea. “Don’t pay too much attention to me.”

– Hmm….

“Look at your work. hang up “Thank you for the call.”

Kang Hu hung up the phone right away.

As the conversation goes on, Park Dong-jae’s worries seem to deepen. I didn’t want to cause any harm.

“It feels like the bounty on my head is slowly increasing.”

Kanghu burst into laughter.

It is an inevitable fate.

The more you grow, the more people you envy and keep in check as much as the people who congratulate you.

Among them, there is bound to be conflict with extreme people.

And conflicts between hunters usually end in the death of one of them.

Death calls for another revenge, and after receiving that revenge, the next revenge appears.

Will it really be the end if we kill Cha So-hyuk?

Probably not.

The criminal organization that Cha So-hyuk belongs to, ‘The Sun’, will be keeping a close eye on him.

Of course, that doesn’t mean you can die with good manners(?). And of course avoiding it is not the right answer.

“Let’s call Ayane.”

Suddenly, she comes to mind.

A Gunner Hunter who showed fantastic chemistry even though it was his first time fighting Jeungseonrak. Ayane.

If you are a gray border hunter, it may be a very useful hidden card in a muddy fight stained with revenge.
