The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 222
Episode 222 Encounter (2)

“The treatment is complete. “I want you to know that this is the best treatment.”
“Is this… the best?”
“Since you haven’t been able to find the missing finger in the first place, a similar restoration is probably the best you can do for now.”
“Anyone can see that the fake fingers and their movements are unnatural. “Is this the best?”
Around that time.
Jeung Seon-rak, who returned to China and underwent reconstructive surgery, looked at his fingers with an angry expression.
He lost two fingers to Kang-hoo, whom he met in front of the first research institute at the main gate.
I had the surgery done by a well-known ‘dealer’ in Shanghai, but it did not meet my expectations.
“Still, it’s a miracle that I was able to regain more than 20% of the movements my fingers used to make. “I hate to praise myself, but no matter where you go, it will be difficult to do more than this.”
“A miracle? “A miracle is when it is completely restored, but this is just an asshole!”
“This is my limit. “If you really want to completely restore the original feel, go to Kosuke.”
“Are you saying that now? “You want me to go see a Japanese guy, a warlock, and a psychopath and get treatment?”
“Stop it now. It’s rude to get angry at this person. “Putting aside the back and forth, he is the one who came to perform surgery on you.”
“Isn’t it because this person keeps saying things that scratch my insides? Who knows if they used me as a surgical experiment?”
“I will take care of this. Let’s go. The compensation would have been deposited. thank you.”
“…yes.”
The businessman left in a hurry.
The man comforting Jeung Seon-rak is Ye Jin-bin. He was a colleague who worked with him at Jeongmun Research Institute 1.
Makyeokjiuda has been friends since childhood.
It was also a ‘suppressor’ that effectively dealt with the hot-tempered Jeung Seon-rak.
He is also the only person who listens to Jeung Seon-rak.
After the contractor left, Ye Jin-bin raised her voice as if reprimanding.
“Why are you taking out your anger on the wrong person? Did you call me without knowing? “You knew and called me, right?”
“I can’t accept that my fingers have become like this…”
Jeung Seon-rak’s fingertips trembled as he looked at his two fingers that were still not moving as he wanted.
Because of this, a problem arose in the process of handling the most important tool as a technician.
It is not that it has become impossible to fly normally, but fine and precise control has become impossible.
A huge loss in power as well.
It was a big shock to Jeung Seon-rak, who was proud of his level, skills, and abilities.
“What is his whereabouts?”
“We are investigating. “But I can’t recognize his face from the image captured in the video.”
“He must have come here after receiving a request. He must be a mercenary. “Then there will be request information.”
“Do you know how many mercenary groups there are in Korea? And getting inside information is not easy.”
“But we still have to find it! “My pride won’t allow me to not know who someone is and not be able to take revenge for the rest of my life!”
“okay. Just calm down first. “For now, let’s focus on increasing sensation starting from the operated finger.”
“what? Go to Kosuke? “You should be thankful that I saved your life, you bastard.”
Crackling.
Jeung Seon-rak gritted his teeth.
Kosuke was a Japanese black magician so infamous that even Jeung Seon-rak, who wanted to regain the feeling in his fingers, took a crane.
“First of all, we will search for the assassin based on the skills and movements used at the time, so don’t worry. “They won’t be foreign mercenaries.”
“Phew…. give me a cigarette.”
Jeung Seon-rak put a cigarette in his mouth with a confused expression as he looked at the bandage on his bloody finger.
Will he be able to take revenge on the hunter who could only see the eyes that gave him an indelible humiliation?
If I ever see him again, I want to kill him and chew his bones and flesh.
Rumbling.
The clenched fingers were pressed against the tips of the nails and blood poured out. He could barely control his anger.

Everything that was said with Lee Ye-rin was something that Kang-hu was happy to hear.
This is because she obtained key evidence of the purification guild’s evil deeds and was very angry about it.
At first, I wondered why he would tell me that he found out about the true face of the Purification Guild.
If Ganghu is a hunter who is close to the Jeonghwa guild or is thinking of getting closer… he
could use Yerin Lee’s remarks as evidence to stab her in the Jeonghwa guild and receive their favor(?).
Of course, Yerin Lee is not an idiot.
The place where she greeted Kang-hu was a special reception room where all radio waves and use of electronic devices were controlled.
Because the conversation was all oral, there was no evidence to prove it other than one’s own memories.
However, one thing that is disappointing is when he received information about the purification guild’s evil deeds and contacted him.
At that time, unlike this time, I revealed my true feelings without any safety measures.
If Kang-hoo had made up his mind at that time, Ye-rin Lee could have become a target of the Jeong-hwa guild.
It’s not that there is no way out, but at least the personal trust with Jang Si-hwan must have been broken.
Kanghu pointed out that point.
It is not a good idea to trust the other person 100% when revealing your true feelings.
Unlike Lee Ye-rin, who was meticulous in everything, the anger she felt at the guild’s evil deeds must have temporarily blinded her rationality.
Anyway, Ye-rin Lee explained to Kang-hu about the dangers of the Jeong-hwa guild and advised him to be careful.
Kanghu, this was always the case, so there was nothing new about it.
However, there was no intention to intentionally amplify or stimulate Lee Ye-rin’s antipathy.
Only then will she actively stand on the anti-purification line. You have to gain confidence yourself.
We should not rule out the possibility of a backlash the moment we intervene in emotions more than necessary.
Still, there was no need to doubt Lee Ye-rin’s authenticity when she first revealed her hand.
Now she will cleverly pose as a collaborator of the Purification Guild and investigate their bare faces further.
If Lee Ye-rin’s meticulous personality and resourcefulness are demonstrated, data will quickly accumulate.

After finishing his deep conversation with Lee Ye-rin, Kang-hoo continued his meeting with Gong Yoo-seok and Go Joo-hee, whom he had prepared for the next event.
Lee Ye-rin, who noisily welcomed the two people at the entrance, naturally acted welcoming.
Kang-hoo, who met Gong Yoo-seok and Go Joo-hee in the VIP reception room, greeted them first and relaxed the tense atmosphere.
“Before, I was seen as a judge to determine eligibility to participate in the attack, but today the picture is different.”
“Even if it’s a spherical face, you should make sure to introduce yourself. “This is Go Joo-hee from the Jeonghwa Guild.”
“This is a shared seat. His official title is Team Leader of the External Talent Strategy Office. Next to me, Joohee is the assistant team leader.”
From the judge’s point of view, these two people dressed very extravagantly.
But today, perhaps because it was a busy place, I came dressed in a simple-looking black code suit.
Kang-hoo’s tension was much higher than usual, and he ran out of words, perhaps because he said hello ‘first’.
So I stayed silent, and Go Joo-hee spoke later.
“We at the Purification Guild have been keeping a close eye on Shin Kang-hoo’s movements for a long time. “Of course, it wasn’t surveillance, it was just because I thought he was a very interesting person.”
From the beginning, seeing Go Joo-hee lie without blinking an eye, I felt like the seat was a seat.
If you are in charge of recruiting talent, it is essential to use a speaking style that knocks the opponent out from the start.
I laughed because I had the strange thought that the conversation would have been completely different if Ahn Young-ho had sat next to me.
“Not only what happened with Eclipse, but I think what happened with Osho’s mercenaries was truly amazing. “They were dirty guys.”
Gong Seok adds.
It is interesting to know about the work of Osho’s mercenary group, which is not well known to the public.
Of course, Kim Soo-kyung’s mercenary group could have said something.
In the first place, since it is a purification guild that has contact with the Casmar guild, the information may have come from there.
However, seeing that Kang-hoo knows news that has never been revealed to the world and mentions it without hesitation.
‘It would also be a demonstration of the purification guild’s intelligence power. There is also an element of intimidation and appeal in itself.’
There seemed to be a lot of strategic intent.
Knowing about the Osho mercenary gang incident itself shows the connection between the Jeonghwa guild and the Kashmar guild.
Although they may have said it without much thought, it was a comment that added to Kang-hu’s confidence.
“Cha So-hyuk was a hunter that even our Jeonghwa guild looked upon unfavorably. “Even thinking about it now, I wonder how you won.”
“Not just me, but most of the executives in our guild think that way. “A lot of people were surprised.”
Kanghu consciously nodded while taking a sip of tea.
Go Joo-hee seemed to have read Kang-hu’s feelings of being bored by the orgy of rhetoric and changed direction.
“Our Jeonghwa Guild supports hunters like Shin Kang-hoo who pursue justice and grow with explosive potential!”
“I’m sure there have been one or two offers to recruit him. But no matter where it is, I can be proud that our purification guild has much better conditions and environments!”
Firm confidence is evident in the words of the two people. That is the pride of the Purification Guild.
In the original work, the members of the organization who shouted out their pride were portrayed very lovingly.
From Shin Kang-hoo’s position, I felt very uncomfortable because I felt like I was a collaborator of a collaborator.
Of course, that’s not their fault. But it is clearly true that the coming fate is a pit of darkness.
‘Even if the conditions are really good and you get in, the future of the hunter who received the attention of the Purification Guild is obvious.’
He knows very well what happened to Ahn Young-ho in the past.
As soon as you enter, you will begin by steadily copying skills from Yu Cheong-hwa through a process under the guise of training.
There is more than one piece of news that could become a ghost story.
My heart is filled with hostility toward the Purification Guild. To be exact, to Jang Si-hwan and Chae Gwan-hyung.
However, revealing hostility as it is is a mistake.
And it is Jungsu who expresses his disapproval by indirectly mentioning the negative aspects of the Purification Guild.
The way to become a master is simple. All you have to do is turn the direction of the arrow towards yourself.
like this.
“I have also admired the Purification Guild for a long time. “What hunter wouldn’t like the Purification Guild?”
The two people nod.
Because the response was so favorable, some seemed slightly embarrassed. You probably thought it would bounce.
“There is no need to make a suggestion. “If I were an ordinary hunter, I would have gone in already.”
“You mean…”
“But you know, I have too many enemies right now. And I know my personality well. “Personal feelings take precedence over belonging, so they are very selfish.”
Kang Hu looked into the eyes of the two people.
I thought about bringing up the observer, but that doesn’t seem like a very good option either.
This is because it is not entirely impossible to draw a picture that gets your nose pierced in the name of an observer.
There are many ways to increase contact time under the pretense of training before participating in a dungeon raid.
If you show evasion at that time, it may look more suspicious.
so that.
‘It’s best to know my worth and say that I will have a crush that only I have.’
Kanghu was acting.
He said he really admires the purification guild and wants to go there, but he is a wild beast that doesn’t deserve it.
The die is cast.
Now it’s time to see Jang Si-hwan’s reaction. How does Jang Si-hwan view the rejection, which no matter who sees it, blames himself?
I was curious about the guy’s reaction.
