Episode 198: The Chaser (3)

“Gyo-seon. “Is this… properly verified information?”

“yes. It even went as far as cross-verification. Photos and on-site video were also secured. It is also true that it is not a copy and no separate imaging device was used.”

“I was just wondering…”

“I think I opened Pandora’s box. “I was also very shocked.”

At that time, Lee Ye-rin was receiving a report from Hwang Gyo-seon, her favorite younger brother and confidant.

I always called Hwang Gyo-seon when conducting important investigations, and this investigation also required his resourcefulness.

An investigation into the purification guild.

I did some research to find out what I had been feeling uncomfortable about, and the results were beyond my imagination.

Hwang Gyo-seon continued.

“First of all, this is a photo of the scene where the Jeonghwa Guild carried out human trafficking to the Kashmar Guild. Can you see Kim Dae-man?”

“4th place in the purification guild.”

“you’re right. It seems that Kim Dae-man is the main source of information for Russia. “He was almost in full charge.”

“….”

“No matter how you look at it, the people who go here in handcuffs are from our country. “Hunter, to be exact.”

“I see.”

“Even though it is a deviation, it does not mean that I came alone. There are quite a few Junghwa Guild Hunters. Related photo information.”

“….”

Lee Ye-rin’s expression hardened every time she saw evidence that forced her to look deeper into the abyss.

The Jeonghwa Guild was an icon of positivity and justice not only for Lee Ye-rin but also for many people.

It was a place that knew the importance of hunters better than anyone else, so it treated talented people and nurtured them professionally.

So, the number one guild that domestic hunters wanted to pursue was Jeonghwa Guild.

Since the Purification Guild is not currently conducting official recruitment, the only way to join was to join a satellite guild.

A representative case was Han Seo-yeon, who belonged to the Haeeohwa guild and was ‘promoted’ to the Jeonghwa guild.

By bringing in hunters from satellite guilds in this way, the satellite guilds also saw a flood of applicants.

Thanks to this, the satellite guilds of the Purification Guild that had taken root in various regions were increasing their influence in the region.

A purification guild that seemed to thoroughly represent good. However, the bare face was in the exact opposite position.

“And this is an internal document. “This is the final activity record of the hunters who were clients of our mercenary group and were introduced by the leader.”

“Kids like Yoonjae and Myeongji?”

“yes. There is also final activity records for Yunjae Kim and Myeongji Lee. Let’s see.”

“Where did you get it?”

“It was brought from within the Purification Guild. “There were some execution costs, but it didn’t leave behind any regrets.”

“Hmm…”

Lee Ye-rin muttered and flipped through the papers with all her might. What else would surprise you?

While she was looking at the content, Hwang Gyo-seon added an explanation.

“Kim Yun-jae did not die in the dungeon, but outside. “There is a huge difference between when we found out that he died and when he entered the dungeon.”

“It’s a time when I couldn’t have been in the dungeon in the first place. But you said he died in the dungeon?”

“yes. Rather, there is a record of entering and exiting the Zheng He 8th Building. “That’s when you said you were in the dungeon.”

“Why on earth did you kill them?”

“Isn’t there a good reason inside?”

The materials that Hwang Gyo-seon retrieved were all materials that revealed the ‘lies’ of the Jeonghwa Guild.

Truths that there is no reason to cover up with lies unless you get upset.

As physical evidence was added to the suspicion, Yerin Lee’s expression also changed to confidence. The true appearance of the Purification Guild was different.

at that time.

Another attendant came in.

Since there was a meeting scheduled ahead of time, it was an attendant’s message announcing the guest’s arrival.

“Gong Seok and Go Joo-hee, who had scheduled a meeting, came. Should I ask you to come inside?”

Someone from the Purification Guild came.

They wanted to get information and advice about several clients who had done business with the Cheongan mercenaries.

Normally, I would have recommended good hunters to them with good intentions, but

now the reason for that has disappeared.

Must be kept.

In particular, they were particularly interested in one person. It was Kang-hu, one of Lee Ye-rin’s main customers.

dinner.

Kanghu was drinking beer while looking down on downtown Osaka through an open window.

Actually, I wasn’t that interested in alcohol, so I didn’t touch it much until now. I also preferred coffee.

However, every time I went to the dungeon with Park Dong-jae, I drank beer to match his routine.

Now, whenever I feel bored, I habitually seek out beer. It tasted good even without any snacks.

“hmm.”

Kang-hoo was looking back on the phone call he had just had with Ye-rin Lee.

To summarize the conversation I had with her, it was like this.

First, the Jeonghwa Guild sent Gong Yoo-seok and Go Joo-hee to find out about Kang-hu.

The two had previously met during a face-to-face screening for Ganghu to go through the hell of judgment.

Since they are involved in recruiting external talent, it was natural for them to take the initiative themselves.

Of course, he couldn’t have moved arbitrarily, and this part must have been under Jang Si-hwan’s instructions.

Ye-rin Lee told them that she intentionally said a lot of bad things about Kang-hu.

There are more loose ends than are known to the public.

It is said that he gave information that was contrary to the facts, such as that he harmed other mercenaries in order to succeed in the request.

Yerin Lee told Kanghu that she no longer believed in the Jeonghwa Guild and that she would send him related materials.

In addition, he did not forget to advise that he must be careful since the purification guild was starting to show interest.

‘It’s the picture I expected from the beginning.’

Unlike Lee Ye-rin’s voice, which was extremely excited and trembling, Kang-hoo was calm throughout.

The purification guild was originally like that.

Problems are only arising because people in the world are only seeing the packaged and distorted front.

To those who had seen the true face of the Purification Guild like the abyss of warlords, this news was very obvious.

However, Yerin Lee seemed to feel a deep sense of betrayal.

‘Anyway, it worked out. It seems like Yerin Lee is finally following the tone of the original work. To the anti-purge line.’

It’s going as expected.

It’s a bit early, but it’s good because it’s fast.

Yerin Lee is a smart person.

Therefore, they will not show hostility towards the Purification Guild out in the open like an abyss.

Perhaps they will cooperate with them and pretend to be friendly, while secretly digging another path. There’s no need to worry about her.

‘With a picture like this, it’s inevitable that you’ll come into contact with the Purification Guild. Then, it might be a good idea to have a painting that sticks to the purification guild and then falls.’

Thoughts expand.

Ignoring and avoiding it is not the only solution. However, it is not good to do nonsense.

Jang Si-hwan is not an idiot.

Jang Si-hwan, as portrayed in the original work, was a person with a good poker face and specialized in a strategic approach.

Since I had several special encounters with Kang-hoo, there must be some images engraved in my memory.

In such a situation, what if you engage in excessive eccentricity or show poor skills in an attempt to deceive the Purification Guild?

That will actually attract more interest and attention.

From Shin Kang-hoo’s point of view, Jang Si-hwan is not a stupid one-time villain.

He is a smart villain who is driving this world into a great abyss of downfall.

To fool him, you have to be more sophisticated and natural.

This means that he is not a brainless villain in a novel who is fooled by the protagonist’s nonsensical nonsense.

The time before midnight.

Ayane checked the call from Hunter Gram’s secure account, which didn’t seem to ring.

Only one person had recently told me about this account, so I knew who it was right away. It was Ganghu.

Ayane, who did not know Ganghu’s name, kept it in her memory as the word ‘handsome assassin.’

The content was simpler than expected.

– Do you want to try hunting down bad hunters? There are so many reasons why they should die.

I had no interest in murder.

However, this did not mean that he was interested in implementing justice.

She simply lived according to the logic of capital, crossing boundaries at will.

If you give money to implement justice, you do it. If you ask someone to kill you, you kill them.

A representative case was in the Fukuoka Liberation Zone, where they camped at the entrance of a dungeon and killed intruders.

In the first place, where the concepts of good, evil, justice, and injustice disappeared, moral concepts were meaningless.

However, regardless of this caution, Ayane’s heart was already pounding when she heard Kang-hu’s contact.

When I first met him at Jeongmun Research Institute 1.

The memory of that time was so vivid that I would forever regret refusing to meet him out of shame.

It was clear that I fell in love with his skills before I fell in love with his looks. He was the skilled assassin she had longed for.

The call from Kang-hoo was not a nice date request or a soft and sweet expression of affection.

It was a proposal for a ‘hunter hunt’ filled with the smell of blood.

Anyway, my short-term contract with Hayabusa Guild ended and I had no work, so I took a break.

Isn’t the original wanderer’s life about being here today and there tomorrow?

It seemed like it would be a good idea to change the activity stage.

-Where should I go? And what loot can I be promised? Who is the target?

Ayane, who was completely captivated by her meeting with Kang-hoo, began asking curious questions.

* * *

After that day.

Kang-hoo began to steadily build up his own build-up in preparation for a clash with Cha So-hyuk.

It’s not even possible to conquer Sapporo’s Shadow Dungeon right now.

The dungeon raid promised to Fumiya was also after visiting the Shadow Dungeon, so there was no current schedule.

First of all, I gave up the life of a single person who lived alone in Ricou Tower unless I had an external schedule.

To give those who were trying to come after you a chance, being outside was not an option but a necessity.

I enjoyed driving outside the city.

He also made it look like he was being cautious, as if he only chose safe areas to go around.

There was also a movement that seemed to be trying to find hidden dungeons or mystery dungeons by using separate measuring equipment.

In the larger scheme of things, it seemed like they were satisfying their curiosity about the area while getting some fresh air.

In the process, Kanghu was able to recognize that there were four people behind him.

Confirmation was done only once.

I didn’t even bother to check it twice. If you attract their attention for no reason, it will be like throwing ashes on cooked rice.

I spent three days like that.

I thought Cha So-hyuk would attack without hesitation, but he seemed to be more cautious than expected.

Perhaps it was due to the influence of a colleague who came with me or Kim In-ho, who gave me advice in advance.

Like a wild beast aiming for the most optimal hunting timing, it must be looking for the best time to hunt itself.

Kang-hoo stopped the car in an area near Osaka and went somewhere while talking on the phone with Ahn Young-ho – in reality, Ayane.

“Oh, Youngho. “I think there is something here because the device’s waveform response is strong.”

“A location that is not specifically captured in the guild dungeon data?”

“I’ll take a closer look first. It’s okay to be human. “I was just coming out to get some fresh air anyway.”

Kang-hoo moved to a more remote location, performing a one-man method act of having a conversation with someone who did not respond.

If you want to lure out the guys behind each other and see the end, the wider the stage, the better. Also, the fewer witnesses, the better.

‘four.’

There are a total of four enemies.

Sohyuk Cha. Here are three more hunters who appear to have been supported by the Toushi Guild.

This is two.

One was Kang-hoo and the other was Kang-hoo’s ‘hidden card’ that quietly hid somewhere.
