The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 24

Episode 24 Heo Jeong-tae (2)

* * *

I saw hell.

Is there a word that fits the current situation better than that?

Heo Jeong-tae was astonished by the explosion in his shoulder that started the moment Kang-hoo snapped his fingers.

It wasn’t like planting a bomb or throwing something that could explode.

Kang-hu simply snapped his fingers as a signal, but blood literally poured out from both shoulders.

Chakang!

The powerful polearm fell.

It wasn’t that I missed it because I wanted to, but I couldn’t transfer the strength to hold it to my fingers.

His tattered shoulders moved uncontrollably, like a flaccid jointed doll, and his arms were limp.

No matter how hard I tried to frown, I could not get any strength below my shoulders.

“Let’s take one more hit.”

“이 개새끼야…!”

Heo Jeong-tae’s shout was meaningless as Kang-hu leapt forward and struck him in the face with his elbow.

Even Heo Jeong-tae had no talent to withstand the force that was enough to completely bend his neck backwards.

Heo Jeong-tae, who made a semicircle in the air, fainted.

It was a complete blackout.

You might think… but Kang-hu was not careful and hit both palms of the fallen Heo Jeong-tae.

Pooh wow! Sigh!

I inserted the practice dagger I was carrying as a spare. With this, the knot was tied perfectly.

And I called right away.

– Yes, I am Kyeong-Hwi Yoon, the police officer in charge of the Yangpyeong Hunter Public Security Agency. How can I help you?

“This is in front of Munseong Villa. “We caught Heo Jeong-tae, a wanted man.”

– yes?

“There is some bleeding, so if it’s too late, you could die. “I think you’d better come quickly.”

– ah! All right! We’ll be there right away!

I’ve heard that most of the public security offices outside of Seoul are ‘vegetable’ public security offices, but this one seems to be working a bit.

As soon as I hung up the phone, I received a text message saying that a report had been filed and that five police officers were leaving.

At this point, there seemed to be no problem in safely transporting Heo Jeong-tae.

Ganghu first lifted the powerful long spear dropped by Heo Jeong-tae.

In any case, it is only Heo Jeong-tae’s body that can be handed over to the Hunter Public Security Agency, and the items are outside of its jurisdiction.

There were no separate reports of stolen items, and there was some kind of unwritten rule.

【Strong Spear – Weapon】

【Grade: Grade 4】

【Strength +100】

【You can freely shorten the length of the long spear as much as you want. However, the maximum length is set.】

It will never be used as a main weapon, but it would be good as a spare weapon in case of emergency.

This is because in some cases, a dagger may not be drawn well from the target or may fly far away.

At that time, it would be nice to have a weapon that could be used as a reserve to buy time.

It seemed like the long spear would be such a spare.

next.

Kang-hoo also took a ring from Heo Jeong-tae’s bloody finger.

Normally, I would wear several rings without feeling burdened, but right now I was only wearing one.

【Hunter’s Blood – Ring】

【Grade: Grade 5】

【Stamina +50】

【If health falls below 50%, the recovery ability increases to 2.5 times the original amount.】

“There is nothing to see.”

Kanghu immediately put the ring on.

Just by increasing my physical strength by 50, I could clearly feel the change in my body’s condition.

Stamina 197.

This level is equivalent to the stamina of a high-level athlete, and the stats are similar to those of a level 80 stamina test.

Of course, the base you have steadily built up will be reduced due to mana hypersensitivity, but it is still quite high.

As stamina was a stat that Kanghu wanted from the beginning, he should not miss the opportunity to increase it like this.

In addition, I obtained a few ‘miscellaneous items’, but they were not useful items for Ganghu.

These guys were planning to sell it to Lee Ye-rin or the black market.

The estimated selling price is around 200 million won.

“Whoa.”

Only then did Kang-hoo sigh and sit down with Heo Jeong-tae, who was speechless.

It was comfortable as it was a soft chair in a car that didn’t have much space to sit.

Bright black hair.

The smell of perfume that stings your nose.

On top of that, paradoxically, she was wearing a lively A-line skirt and stockings…

“You look like you’re really going to be amazed.”

Kang-hu, who was sitting on Heo Jeong-tae’s stomach, frowned as he looked up and down with completely different genders.

It’s an ugly sight that I never want to see again.

* * *

The first thing the police officers dispatched to the scene were astonished was that Heo Jeong-tae lived so close to the police station.

at the same time.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on Kang-hu, as if he had made a promise.

Kyung-Hwi Yoon, who was in charge of the call with Kang-hoo, first expressed his gratitude.

“Thank you very much for this. This work will be remunerative as announced by the Metropolitan Police. There may also be additional appreciation plaques handed out.”

It was an obvious story, so I just nodded without any emotion.

Heo Jeong-tae happened to have a piece of candy in his inner pocket, so he took it out and was munching on it diligently.

“Do you want to make public announcements about this matter? Or do you not want to?”

“You ask. “It’s not a big deal.”

Even if you make it public, the only thing left is your name and reputation, so it is meaningless.

There will be a separate time later when you need to leave your name properly. Not when dealing with an insignificant guy.

“If you don’t mind….”

“I only have one question.”

“yes. How did you figure out Heo Jeong-tae’s whereabouts? “His whereabouts were unknown until now.”

“Aren’t the results important?”

“…Yes, that is true. It’s so amazing. “We made arrangements in several places.”

“If that guy bleeds more, his condition could get completely worse, so take care of that first. “Let’s move on to the compensation issue.”

Kanghu changed the direction of the story.

It was difficult to explain it with a plausible lie, and above all, there was absolutely no reason to explain it.

“All right. then.”

Afterwards, under the direction of Yoon Gyeong-hwi, the five magistrates each dispersed.

The two were in charge of transporting and treating Heo Jeong-tae to the hospital, and the two went to Heo Jeong-tae’s house at the scene.

And Kyung-Hwi Yoon took charge of Kang-hoo and returned to the Public Security Office and was the first to pay cash compensation.

It was only after seeing 300 million won added to his bank account balance that Kang-hoo’s frozen face slightly straightened.

In this world, no matter how sweetly it is said or packaged, it has no meaning until the reality is conveyed.

But now that the compensation has been confirmed, I feel somewhat relieved.

Of course, there was still one more reward left.

“This is a list of dungeons that were published in advance. It’s under level 100 and there are details.”

“Can I take a quick look?”

“of course. How dare we urge someone who has done such a great thing. Please enjoy.”

Kyung-Hwi Yoon had a completely low-key attitude from the beginning. That was the position of the Hunter Public Security Agency in the first place.

This is because the clanging power that it had in the early days of the Hunter era is no longer as strong as the claws.

It can be seen that they are worse off than a back alley cat.

Kanghu looked through the list.

This is a dungeon that can be conquered at least a dozen times with a one-month lease.

The content I am interested in is a dungeon with a lot of middle bosses and main bosses.

In any case, skill theft cannot be left out, so I wanted to gain a clear advantage in this area.

at that time.

Kanghu’s eyes stopped on a list of dungeons.

‘This dungeon. This is where characteristic changes occur.’

It was a dungeon that had been mentioned in the original work.

Just a change in characteristics.

This is a change that completely changes the dungeon’s internal ecosystem and composition for unknown reasons.

In that case, not only will everything including the middle boss and main boss change, but the entire terrain structure will also change.

‘There is one middle boss and main boss, but when the characteristics change, the total is four. ‘There are four different skills.’

Coincidentally, the timing of the change was the end of April at this time, which coincided with the timing of the one-month lease, which is now early April.

In other dungeons, the maximum number was one main boss and two middle bosses.

There was nothing more to look around.

There seemed to be no lineup that could beat this dungeon, which can steal up to 4 skills.

“Gwangju Songjeong Station. “To this dungeon near Exit 3.”

“When will you start renting? We secure exactly one month from the desired time.”

“In one week.”

Ganghu decided the time.

Plan for Ground Zero There is also a case for re-learning the infiltration request decapitation skill that Lee Ye-rin is trying to propose.

I was going to solve these first and then challenge the dungeon.

In addition, the area near Gwangju Songjeong Station is located in Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju, so it was necessary to understand the power distribution.

This is because it is there that there is currently a fierce battle for power, rivaling that of Daejeon.

The enmity between Eclipse and Black Lion Lee Yerin’s mercenary unit Cheongan is rather at the level of cuteness.

“Then we will issue you a dungeon rental license starting at midnight in a week. “Ends in 31 days.”

“check.”

Kang-hoo entered his hunter registration number and confirmed that he was in a waiting state through an app that searched for a license.

All rewards have been received.

Kyung-Hwi Yoon may have found out his real name during the compensation payment process, but he did not pay much attention to it.

If you want to receive government money and compensation, you cannot hide your identity.

That’s how I left the Yangpyeong Hunter Police Office.

Yoon Gyeong-hwi, who had seen Kang-hu off to the entrance, asked.

“Which request was it?”

“Cheongan.”

“Aha, you said that. “If you’re a mercenary there, I can trust you.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“I hope we can meet again if we meet again.”

Kang Hu left the police station, hoping that something like that would never happen.

It seemed like it would be a good idea to leave Yangpyeong a little early before we get trampled on.

This is because the Jeonghwa Guild’s movements are always a few beats faster than expected.

15 minutes later.

At the time Heo Jeong-tae received emergency treatment in the presence of police officers, Chae Gwan-hyeong was receiving reports from his subordinates.

It was about Heo Jeong-tae.

A clearly organized report that suits Chae Gwan-hyung’s meticulous personality.

His expression distorted when he saw the contents.

“Heo Jeong-tae was attacked right after he spoke to me on the phone? “You can’t even use your hands properly and your arms have become sore?”

“…I say so.”

“Is this what the magistrates did?”

“no. “There is no one in the Yangpyeong Hunter Security Agency who can overpower Heo Jeong-tae to that extent.”

“Then who is it?”

“I do not know. What is certain is that someone completely subdued Heo Jeong-tae and handed him over to the Public Security Agency.”
