The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 231
Episode 231: Underwater Battle (2)
Of course, Jeon Se-hyuk did not specifically mention the names of the supporting forces. It’s a wise decision.
The analogy is not difficult.
First of all, there is Lee Hyun-seok. The leader of the Abyss, a warlord based in northern and northeastern Gyeonggi Province.
And we can think of Lee Ye-rin and the Black Lion of the Cheongan mercenary group. Because we have a hostile relationship with Eclipse.
A smart Jeon Se-hyuk would naturally have thought about the value of using them for a long time.
There must be some kind of deal or cooperation that you haven’t told me about. It’s obvious even if you don’t look at it.
‘Okay, this is it.’
The reason Kang-hoo was surprised and at the same time thrilled was because of Lee Hyun-seok’s presence.
Lee Hyun-seok is Jeon Se-hyuk’s biggest confidant and closest friend. He was not present at this point in the original.
Because he was killed by Moon Yoo-seok.
The person who changed the future was none other than Kang Hu himself.
The butterfly effect that saved Lee Hyun-seok simply made it possible to maintain Abyss, the enemy of the Jeonghwa Guild.
It was made to influence the current Jeon Se-hyuk.
If Abyss is watching over him, it is realistic for Jeon Se-hyuk to think of promoting Eclipse.
‘Jeon Se-hyuk in the original may have also wanted to aim for Eclipse during this period. But I didn’t write that. Because there was no probability.’
It’s not that Jeon Se-hyuk didn’t think about a picture that boldly aims for an eclipse when writing the original work.
However, because the abyss had fallen, Jeon Se-hyuk and his colleagues could not plan the eclipse alone.
This is like committing suicide.
But now the abyss is alive and well. Since Jeon Se-hyuk can receive sufficient help, a possibility is created. It is the completion of causal relationships.
Kanghu said.
“I think I know what you mean.”
“If you pull the net gently, you are bound to miss it. We’ll pull the net in one go. “That way, the harvest will be good.”
“It won’t be easy to completely eliminate the entire Eclipse. “As you know, it’s big.”
“I know. But at least you can get a hard punch to the solar plexus. Enough to leave bruises for a long time.”
Jeon Se-hyuk laughed.
It’s not for nothing that Kang Dong-hyun is most annoyed by Jeon Se-hyuk.
To add a bit of a lie, Jeon Se-hyuk was a person who was always thinking of ways to harass Eclipse, except when he was sleeping.
It’s still the same now.
Although he spoke vaguely, Jeon Se-hyuk must have created his own plan to harass Eclipse.
The upcoming battle is a preliminary battle, and the catastrophe that will come like a tidal wave will be what comes after.
“brother! I recently gained a proper skill. “Would you like to take a look?”
“Skill book?”
“uh! A skill book exclusively for gunners from the dungeon! “Thanks to Sehyuk oppa’s concession, I learned it right away.”
“see.”
As Kang-hoo stood with his arms crossed with an interested expression, Ban Se-young aimed straight at the wall of the underground parking lot.
The entire wall was covered in soot, as if it had already been demonstrated dozens of times.
Bang!
When Ban Se-young’s gun spouted fire, a white trajectory was drawn and the magic bullet flew out.
Up to this point, it was the same as the existing magic bullet attack. It is difficult to say that the situation has really changed with the skill book.
however.
Push! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The magic bullet that shattered part of the wall soon sparked and began to engulf the surrounding area in flames.
The beginning of the flames resembled the shape of a flower, and sure enough, Ban Se-young’s explanation was added.
“Mahwatan! “My new skill!”
“Good.”
“…huh? Is that all there is to it?”
“Isn’t everything good?”
“The flame of execution that culminates a trajectory that continues like a line of death. “A truly amazing skill that is beautiful to anyone.”
“Who evaluates things like that?”
“…That’s me.”
“ah.”
The spark of the story that pointed out Kang-hoo’s general review, which ended in two words, flew to Jeon Se-hyuk.
It certainly seemed like it would be a great way to increase the value of Ban Se-young since it had an increased killing power.
That way, it’s good for shooting even in places where there are groups of hunters. If caught in a flame, several people will be injured.
Kang-hu quietly added.
“It will have really high use value in the future. “I think I’ve developed some good skills.”
“Tsk.”
Ban Se-young, who secretly hoped to receive detailed praise and recognition from Kang-hoo, pouted his lips.
As Kang-hoo tapped Ban Se-young on the shoulder with an embarrassed expression, Jeon Se-hyuk naturally spoke.
“I recently changed my bow. “It’s a bow with berserker characteristics, so I think it’ll come in handy.”
“What kind of bow is it?”
“This is a bow whose skill casting speed increases dramatically as stamina decreases. “It’s kind of second-rate.”
“If it had been a skill, it wouldn’t have been compatible, but since it’s a berserker characteristic attached to the weapon, synergy would be good.”
“you’re right. “I have high expectations.”
After all, growth is not just about yourself. The people around me are also boosting their own power in different ways.
Jeon Se-hyuk changed the topic.
“This is Ishihara Yuuji.”
“yes.”
“Do you know that there is a link to Kang Dong-hyun? “He was a 6th degree relative.”
“I didn’t even know that.”
“We also found out about it recently. After investigating, it turned out that they were indeed relatives. “We are 6th cousins, so we may be distant, but we are not completely connected.”
“Then… there may be a way to come to Korea more confidently than you think.”
Kang Hu’s eyes deepened.
As I had a short and deep relationship with Yuuji, I always had a conflict with him in my mind.
Even if I could go back to the past, I would have dealt a real blow to Yuuji back then. There were no regrets.
Rather, it was on the disappointing side. It would have been nice if I could kill him, but I couldn’t.
The next time we encounter Yuuji again, it will definitely end with one of us dying.
“I think you always have to think about it. “If Kang Dong-hyeon decides to open the way, entry into the country will be easy.”
“thank you for the information.”
“you’re welcome. You can also say it’s information. Anyway, I want to help Kang-hoo too.”
Jeon Se-hyuk smiled, stroking his thick beard. It’s definitely unfamiliar, perhaps because it’s different from my previous image.
However, unlike before, I thought it was nice to see him smiling brightly with his scars covered.
Does it feel like the beard hides the awkward shape of the mouth?
‘It would be an impossible dream with my beard that doesn’t grow dirty.’
Kang-hoo, who thought for a moment about growing a beard like that, soon shook his head.
With this fair face that doesn’t grow a beard like a eunuch, a masculine beard is just a dream come true.
Unless you draw it yourself… As someone said, a pale vampire might suit you better.

After sharing the joy of meeting appropriately.
An in-depth briefing followed.
Kang-hoo was not a picture that moved with the team of Jeon Se-hyuk and Ban Se-young until the end, but he listened closely to the content.
Because you don’t know how the situation will unfold.
If you don’t know the situation in advance, you can get confused when variables arise.
First of all, Kang Hu also highly evaluated Jeon Se-hyuk’s rationale for targeting the Pyeongtaek branch and his chances of success.
Of course, what we looked at more carefully was whether or not Go Kyung-ho could be brought out in this situation.
That too is OK.
Jeon Se-hyuk meticulously checked and pointed out a variety of possibilities beyond what Kang-hoo had imagined.
The departure time has been decided.
Except today.
Go Kyung-ho said that he was encouraging his subordinates at the Pyeongtaek branch and inspecting the surrounding security facilities.
So it was confirmed for tomorrow night. The timing was good because the rain was expected to be heavier than today.
‘It’s a pity that Park Dong-jae isn’t there.’
After finishing the briefing, saying that I don’t know where I am, but I know where I am, I was disappointed about Park Dong-jae’s absence.
If he were there, there would have been quite a bit of synergy not only with Kanghu but also with the other hunters here.
It is said that he went into the dungeon after receiving an urgent request for assistance from a famous guild.
A renowned guild that is quite exclusive in its connections with outsiders even made an ‘urgent’ request for ‘support’.
It was Ganghu who once again reflected on Park Dong-jae’s skills.
Park Dong-jae is a guy who will achieve great success. That’s why you need to keep it by your side and hold on to it tightly.
* * *
Shoot.
The rain was so rough that it was impossible to see.
Gurgling.
The rain gathered in one place and poured into the sewer without stopping.
Some sewers that had lost their capacity were backflowing, spewing out the rainwater they had contained.
The third floor of an apartment where no one lives now.
At the end of the hallway, where all the windows were broken, Kanghu was quietly looking down at the scene.
Would it be correct to say that it is a raindrop? It was a perfect picture to look at without thinking.
At that time, Ban Se-young came up the stairs and naturally took a seat next to Kang-hoo.
After the briefing and dinner, I came here while looking for where Kang-hoo had gone.
In her hand was a paper cup filled with homemade drip coffee. I really liked the nutty scent.
“Oppa, what are you doing here?”
“I came here not to do anything.”
“Drink, brother.”
“thank you.”
Kanghu liked coffee quite a bit, but he had little memory of drinking drip coffee.
The reason is simple, it’s time consuming. It is convenient to eat a finished product that has already been prepared.
However, it is a different story if someone else does the hard work.
After taking a sip, it had a different charm from mixed coffee. The aroma of coffee beans in my mouth was exquisite.
There was silence for a moment.
Even if neither of us had to look for something to say, it became an unspoken conversation just by looking at the same scenery.
Did about 5 minutes pass like that?
Ban Se-young began speaking.
“It’s a perfect day for a fight. “It’s kind of sweet.”
“Why?”
I strongly agreed with Ban Se-young’s words that it was the perfect day to fight.
Many hunters hate rainy weather. It would not be much different even for the general public.
Although it’s nice to admire from the window, it’s not easy to encounter in person.
However, bad weather was the best condition for hunters who, like Kanghu, use weather as a basis for deciding whether they are good or bad.
especially!
This was especially true for assassins.
This is because the sound of pouring rain completely erases the sound of the assassin’s footsteps and any sign of death.
Of course, there is a possibility that hiding can be easily detected due to the rain, but the disadvantage is offset by the advantage.
“Tomorrow is the anniversary.”
“ah.”
I know whose anniversary it is.
It must be the anniversary of the death of the deceased boyfriend that Ban Se-young mentioned before.
“It is also a day of revenge. Now I really want to get revenge properly. “I’m sick of those Eclipse bastards.”
Ban Se-young gritted his teeth.
The antipathy she and Jeon Se-hyuk have toward Eclipse is so great that it is on a completely different level from the antipathy Kang-hoo has.
When Kang-hoo killed Cha So-hee.
Clearly, Kang Dong-hyun and himself could have been in a strategic truce. In fact, such conversations took place.
In other words, Kanghu did not have a deep negative relationship with Eclipse.
If Kang Dong-hyun had not crossed the line first, the fragile peace would have been maintained.
However, Ban Se-young lost his loved one to Eclipse, and Jeon Se-hyuk did the same.
So they were hostile to everyone in Eclipse. They don’t want to leave even a single person alive.
There is only one way to avoid provoking the anger of both people. ‘Leaving’ Eclipse.
at that time.
“You said you really wanted to kill Go Kyung-ho, right? “Does your brother have a reason to be sick?”
She asked an unexpected question.
Although it was surprising to Kang-hoo, it was actually a natural question for Ban Se-young.
