The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 207
Episode 207: Gungyeilhak (2)
“I know.”
“I am receiving a request from that person. The same goes for the Jeongmun Pharmaceutical case and the Fukuoka case.”
“I didn’t know, but we were already in a relationship?”
“I know. If you think about it another way, Ye-rin Lee ran the operation well. “It’s true that the clients don’t know each other, right?”
Ganghu nodded.
It is absolutely not a question of why Lee Ye-rin did not speak up.
Rather, it is right to praise her. As Ayane said, information must be cut off even between clients.
That way, there will be a reason to put a ‘businessman’ like Lee Ye-rin in the middle.
Otherwise it doesn’t make sense.
“For now, I am receiving domestic requests from Yerin Lee. “I have also entrusted overseas requests.”
“I think it’s true that people are resourceful. “He has quite a lot of connections in Japan as well.”
“Right.”
“Are you still going to stay in Japan?”
“no. I have some business to do, so I’m going back to the country. “I might come back, but I can’t say for sure.”
In the future, I planned to create frequent routes between the country and overseas.
Whatever it was, it was true that Kang Hu’s network of connections was centered domestically.
So I couldn’t just do outdoor activities. There is a need for management skills that strike a reasonable balance.
“Then… what are you planning to do next?”
It’s an abstract question. I understand her curiosity, but the range of questions is too broad.
So Kanghu also responded with a similar feeling. There’s no need to tell her in detail.
“Growing. Get rid of the person blocking your path. “You have to take care of the person who will go with you.”
“Which side am I on?”
“The trust between us is still thin. It’s nowhere to be found. Of course, we are making it little by little now.”
Ayane had a look of regret in her eyes.
What can I say? It was the kind of look in his eyes that made him want to quickly become friends with Kang-hoo but couldn’t find a way to do so.
Being friendly. Getting closer.
It may seem easy in words, but in reality it is very difficult.
No hunter who has experienced all the hardships of life would not know how dangerous it is to trust people.
The reality today is that yesterday’s colleague may stab you in the back today.
Kang-hoo has never trusted anyone 100% until now. The same goes for characters like Master K and Kim Shin-ryeong.
Instead, we judge their beliefs by considering how much they would benefit from believing in us.
If the people involved hear it, they might be disappointed.
However, Kang-hu has always been wary of becoming relaxed by thinking like that.
If there was one exception, it was Jeong Yu-ri. Basically, she believes about 95% of things.
When the atmosphere felt slightly cold, Kanghu changed the topic.
It’s not like I took the time to break up the fun drinking party.
“What are you trying to do?”
“I will focus on international commissions. I want to fight with hunters of various nationalities. “There are a lot of experts, right?”
“That’s an interesting plan.”
“I’ll tell Ye-rin Lee, so if it’s okay, how about working on an overseas request with me later? And if it doesn’t work out, we can split up.”
Request to accompany.
I thought it wouldn’t be bad. It might not be necessary if you’re doing it alone, but if you need it with a group of people, it might be worth a try.
Ayane’s skills had been verified twice, so there was no need to doubt anything. It is true that he is a talented person.
“good. “Let’s do that.”
“Hey! good! “That’s good!”
The sight of her clenching her fists while creating the image of a haughty and cold woman is cheering itself.
I understood everything from what I saw now as to what it was originally like. She is a woman with many simple aspects.
Ayane asked again.
“Is that true what you said last time? Are you really dying? “Can’t I live long?”
At that time, I made a joke and didn’t say anything, so I thought Ayane just thought it was a joke and passed it off.
It seems that the saying that you could die tomorrow was serious. Her expression is very serious.
Ganghu laughed.
If a joke becomes serious, it ceases to be a joke. I didn’t really want to make a prank like that.
“It’s not really a time limit. Mentally, I live like a terminally ill person. “It’s a difficult time to live long, isn’t it?”
“That’s… right.”
I didn’t think Kang Hu said anything wrong either.
There is still a long way to go for your own growth. And there are many variables. In particular, the thirteen stars are beings that strain your body whenever you think about them.
Although I approached Takashi with the first plan to induce their division.
I wasn’t that close to him yet.
It is still likely that his emotional connection lies more with the thirteen stars.
Even if I hate Chae Gwan-hyung.
Because he would have a bond with Emilia and Yu Qinghua who are friendly towards him.
We need more reasons to leave.
“You just can’t promise tomorrow with certainty to someone you meet today. “I just hope nothing happens.”
Ayane’s eyes sparkled at Kanghu’s words. It was because I felt like I sensed his hidden thoughts in his words.
I thought that even if he seemed cold or cynical, he ultimately cared and cared for the people close to him.
So I liked it more.
Because, like Hogu, being pure love did not mean thinking only of oneself and trampling on others.
In this way, the place gradually became ripe.
We talked about everyday life, and thoughts about training methods and classes were exchanged openly.
Ayane mainly led the story, but Kang-hoo also answered well, so it wasn’t boring.
By the time we had finished drinking quite a few cocktails, our faces started to blush without anyone noticing us.
Ayane started crying.
I don’t know if I was guided by instinct or if it was intentional from the beginning, but it came out naturally.
“Would you like to stay with me tonight?”
Kanghu’s answer was quite simple.
“It’s okay if you just stick to your instincts. “If you have any other feelings, I will decline.”
Adult night. It can be a spark that sets the day on fire or a fire that becomes the starting point of a long relationship.
Ganghu is referring to the former. I felt like I didn’t want to be tied down emotionally by someone.
“good.”
Ayane nodded.
As Kang-hu said, isn’t a hunter’s day like that, even if we spend today together, we don’t know what tomorrow will be like?
If I can burn today, tomorrow will be better. That’s something to worry about tomorrow.
So… their night passed long and passionately. It’s like they really have no tomorrow.

The next afternoon.
After eating breakfast and lunch with Ayane, Kanghu returned to Ricou Tower and was warming up beforehand.
It was to prepare for an evening dungeon attack, but I also wanted to erase the awkwardness of using dual daggers.
Originally, it always felt like one hand was cool and empty, but when I held it with both sides, it felt different.
Is it like wearing new shoes? It’s not very uncomfortable, but it feels like it will take some time to get used to it.
I set up an imaginary enemy and practiced striking it using the daggers in my left and right hands alternately.
Since my dominant hand is my right hand, I didn’t like the movement when I used my left hand.
I feel like I keep losing about half a beat. Usually bad premonitions don’t lie.
‘I shouldn’t use my left hand in critical situations.’
First, I established a general principle. I decided to use my right hand for key skills and important attacks.
This is because there seems to be a possibility that if you use your left hand to give a variable, it may end up becoming a variable in reverse.
at that time.
A phone call came in.
Now that I know more people, I can’t predict in advance who the call will come from.
I wondered who it was, but it was Jeon Se-hyuk. As it happens, he was one of the priorities to contact when I go to Korea.
“Yes, this is Shin Kang-hoo.”
– This is Jeon Se-hyuk. Are you okay? I saw the news. Cha Sohyuk? A guy named Cha So-hee went to Japan?
“Yes, that happened. Thanks to this, Cha So-hyuk in the afterlife became a villain who killed his siblings.”
-Who do you think is the villain? It is the implementation of justice that was most needed.
The news is really fast.
Once a story is reported on Huntergram or Hunter-related news, it becomes known quickly.
Of course, because of the flood of hunter-related news, if you don’t check it every day, it becomes news of the past that you don’t know about.
I don’t know about Kang-hoo, but that was why Jang Si-hwan belatedly recognized Kang-hoo’s existence.
If you live each day with less than 24 hours, you will surprisingly become insensitive to issues in the hunter world.
Jeon Se-hyuk continued.
– No wonder we gathered quite a lot of people. I plan on taking a proper look at Eclipse soon.
“oh.”
This is the news you’ve been waiting for.
The Eclipse attack was a necessary issue as it also served as a constellation test related to the Seeker of Pure Darkness.
However, it was burdensome for Kang-hoo to set off fireworks alone, and Jeon Se-hyuk seemed to have raised the bar on his own.
– Several branches have already been robbed. Kang Dong-hyun must be seething.
A muffled whining sound is heard from beyond the smartphone. Jeon Se-hyuk’s revenge on Eclipse is sincere.
“I plan to conclude my Japan schedule soon and return home. “Let’s meet again then.”
– great. I’ll wait.
“Yes, please come in.”
It was definitely reassuring to have allies. Jeon Se-hyuk is in charge of Eclipse.
Kang-hoo also had a bad relationship with Eclipse from the beginning.
With the Constellation Exam as a motivation, there was no reason not to add a sword dance to Jeon Se-hyuk’s fireworks display.
When we return, there will be a bloody wind blowing.
And the people of the world will accept the attack on Eclipse not as a crime, but as justice and condemnation.
There are many reasons to become a hero.

dinner.
Ganghu’s group, including Miyuki Eto and Ahn Young-ho, immediately set out to conquer the dungeon.
The location of the special reinforcement dungeon was kept completely secret even from Ganghu, possibly due to security concerns.
So, you had to wear a separate eye patch until you entered the dungeon at Ricou Tower.
Since it was agreed upon in advance, Kanghu didn’t think much of it. As a guild with important dungeons, this is a natural measure.
‘From my perspective, if I can’t catch the boss monster in this dungeon, I’ll lose out. It must come to an end.’
Ganghu made up his mind.
Since you chose to win the boss, you have to catch the boss to get a plus. Otherwise, you are just being nice to others.
Of course, there is an issue where skills can be stolen from middle boss monsters and main boss monsters.
But in the end, you have to kill it to rob it, so you must attack it.
“I will take the lead.”
Eto stepped into the dungeon first.
Next, Kanghu, Miyuki, and Ahn Youngho went in in that order, and as soon as they entered, they checked the surrounding environment.
The special reinforcement dungeon was a must-check as its internal structure changed depending on the total number of people and level.
“okay. It’s the same as the structure briefed. It is possible to proceed without variables. “There are no changes to the dungeon.”
Miyuki gave the final confirmation.
And the moment Miyuki tries to take the right route from the two-way intersection seen in front.
“Wait. How about changing your travel route? “I told you the route on the left is much shorter, right?”
“Kanghu, you are….”
“I know. There are ghost-type monsters. But I have a way to overcome that.”
Kang Hu’s eyes shined.
The reason is that one of the monsters seen on the left route had 3 written on top of its head.
It was like that.
A monster that could guarantee Dark Age 3 was waiting for you!
Should we just overlook this?
It was unacceptable.
