The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 27

Episode 27: To Ulsan (2)

Real name: Gong Tae-soo.

The reason he was named the Butcher of Ulsan is because so many hunters died at his hands.

Since he was a person who kidnapped and killed criminals, warlords, and mercenaries alike, he was treated like complete trash.

Although it may be an odd complaint, the biggest reason was the criticism of not upholding the ‘commercial morals’ of the black world.

My partner, who was supposed to work with me as long as I could make money, also complained because he was throwing his head away.

In any case, the criminal organization he ran, ‘Red Blood’, was one of the organizations based in Ulsan.

Because the scale was quite large, even organizations that disliked Tae-soo Gong could not mess with him.

Since Gong Tae-soo is such a ‘thug’, if you touch him wrongly, red blood and all-out war cannot be avoided.

So, everyone secretly entrusted assassination requests to the mercenary group.

This is because it is easy to cut off murder requests sent to mercenaries. There is little fear of being discovered behind the scenes.

‘He doesn’t die in the original.’

This was the reason why Kang Hu’s expression was not good.

There was a similar issue in the original work.

Many mercenaries gathered to kill Prince Gong.

But the result was the annihilation of the mercenaries.

Afterwards, Gong Tae-soo became more energetic and continued to win.

Of course, if there is a difference between the original and the present, it is the difference between whether Shin Kang-hu is there or not.

In any case, I know very well what strategies and tactics Gong Tae-soo used to lure the mercenaries who tried to kill him in the original work.

He also has the insight to see through the board more clearly.

Kang-hoo asked Ye-rin Lee for confirmation.

“Are these fireworks?”

“that’s right. “At the same time, requests were received from various mercenary groups, and everyone seems to be aware of it and moving forward.”

“I am confident that I will not be the one with misfortune… Is this it?”

A bitter smile appeared.

Fireworks are when multiple mercenaries are hired to target one ‘strong’ target.

In this case, someone among the many mercenaries will definitely lose their life. It is an inevitable result.

However, by sacrificing their lives, the surviving mercenaries are able to target their targets more reliably.

In other words, if you don’t die, it becomes an opportunity and you can get one step closer to your target.

Thanks to the numerical superiority, the goal will definitely be achieved.

then? The hunter who survives to the end can take all the fruits. That is fireworks.

“What is the expected number of people?”

“It’s not exact, but at least an estimate can be made. “One hundred people.”

“You’re crazy. “If it were like this, I would be more excited about the fireworks.”

“It’s already overheating.”

Yerin Lee laughed.

Ganghu looked down and scanned the information related to the request reward.

Then she immediately added a skillful explanation.

“There is no need to kill Prince Gong. “Even if you just cut off your left arm, you can get 2.5 billion won.”

“He is a wizard who uses more than 99% of his magic with his left hand, so this means he is virtually as good as dead.”

“that’s right. Rather, if you kill him, the reward is reduced by 500 million won. “It’s funny, right?”

The rewards are definitely strong.

This also proved that there were many organizations where Tae-soo Gong was gnashing his teeth.

If I remember correctly, Tae-soo Gong’s current level is in the early 200s.

In fact, even if only Lee Ye-rin steps forward, a picture of one-on-one cooperation may emerge. In theory.

However, the reason he can’t do that is because the governor is armed with useful items and is looking at the so-called ‘Tempap’.

Like a moth rushing to a fire, if you are unlucky, you may lose your life in a single blow.

“If it’s difficult, you can refuse. Because the request is not compulsory. But I brought it because I thought it would be tempting.”

“I’ll take it. “It’s not like I’m asking for money just because I fail.”

“Yes. “Just think of it as a breath of fresh air in Ulsan.”

“I accept.”

Kanghu received the request.

I immediately skimmed through the contents and burned them.

This is because all of the information provided was the original story that Kang-hu knew.

In any case, when it comes to assassination – although it is more accurately a body amputation request – the level is not important.

There is only one opportunity, and what matters is how well you seize it and make it yours.

The time for the ‘fireworks display’ specified in the request is tomorrow evening.

Although I had a day to spare, I thought it would be a good idea to move in advance.

* * *

Kang Hu parted ways with Lee Ye-rin in front of Pyeongtaek Station and moved to the terminal to board the safety bus.

At that time, I came face to face with a spherical face and stopped walking.

“Are you seeing me again?”

It was Sangmi Yoon.

Before I knew it, the title had naturally changed to Oppa.

The outfit was the same as last time.

Maybe he doesn’t change his clothes, or maybe that’s some kind of combat attire.

“Why did you come here?”

“I’m going to Ulsan to enjoy the sea breeze.”

“I think you have the same thoughts as me.”

“Hey, you too?”

“Don’t even think about asking about your favorite place. “Because only I will eat it.”

“Hey. “People are so desolate.”

It doesn’t seem like it was intentional, but it did mean that there was one more potential competitor.

Of course, the fighting styles and ways of approaching requests will be different, so there is no need to clash.

Sangmi Yoon made an unexpected suggestion.

“Would you like to go as a team and meet up?”

“If you block my way there, you too are an enemy.”

“Huh…”

Yoon Sang-mi took a step back at Kang-hoo’s cold reaction.

I knew that I had no intention of fighting, but I felt a clear and clear sense of life in Kang-hu.

I didn’t mean it with the intention of being patronizing.

Since he highly valued Kanghu’s skills, he thought that there would be better synergy if they joined forces.

Of course, the negotiations broke down.

At this point, having regrets is meaningless.

There is no clearer refusal than this.

“Then let’s go together. “If you want to go to Ulsan with peace of mind, it’s better to take a safe bus, right?”

“Well, whatever is convenient. “I won’t say anything if you sit next to me.”

Ganghu nodded.

15 minutes later.

Kang-hoo and Yoon Sang-mi boarded a safety bus bound for Ulsan that arrived at the terminal.

If it were Daejeon Station, there would have been quite a few hunters taking the bus to Ulsan.

There are now a total of three passengers, including two people.

There were already nine passengers inside, excluding the bus driver.

I thought it was fortunate that there was standing room, but I was surprised that there were fewer people than I expected.

When the door was just closed like that.

“….”

Kang-hoo and Yoon Sang-mi’s gaze crossed.

It was almost like a sideways glance, but the clear content was conveyed only with glances.

I only noticed it after the door closed, but I was convinced that this was one giant ‘crime bus’.

First of all, two hunters who appeared to be guards were chatting very friendly with the passengers.

Usually, guards do not talk to passengers at all.

This is because you have to be on guard around your surroundings, and of course that guard includes passengers.

I mainly looked outside the bus, but that didn’t mean I relaxed my guard inside.

In addition, several passengers who were already on board had several drops of blood that had not yet dried.

This means that I have already seen blood a few minutes ago. Before the bus arrived.

In fact, it wasn’t difficult to get off the bus if you wanted to, but Kang-hoo didn’t do that.

Of the ten hunters in here, excluding myself and driver Sangmi Yoon.

This is because there was only one Hunter who held the Constellation.

Everyone is saying they are ‘small pieces’.

‘Everyone is mistaken. If there were more people, the situation would be easily sorted out.’

Kang-hoo pretended like nothing was wrong and sat in the front row with Yoon Sang-mi.

The special space of the bus is very narrow for fighting, but it is too good for a surprise attack.

In particular, he strangled me by passing a string from behind, or stabbed me with a sword through the seat.

It’s great for creating unexpected attacks.

Ganghu listened to the joy of the sky and looked closely at the side.

It was a movement that appeared to be a check on the condition of the weapon, something you would do before putting a dagger in its scabbard.

In fact, Kang-hoo was looking at the back seat reflected in the sword.

You couldn’t see it when you got on, but there were clear blood stains under the back seat.

and.

Huh.

I could hear the two passengers sitting in the back seat snoring, as if they were trying to catch their breath.

Next moment!

Faaah! Sigh!

Ganghu rotated his body with all his might and used all of that force to strike the back with the dagger.

Perhaps it was because he maximized his movements by using acceleration skills at a moment’s notice.

“Keuuk!”

The opponent couldn’t even use his hand.

The dagger was stuck right in the middle of his forehead, and his eyes were turned upside down and his breath stopped.

Phew!

At the same time, Yoon Sang-mi held the opponent in a reverse hand and stabbed him through the seat with a large sword that pierced the opponent’s chest, killing him instantly.

Because it was the front seat, ironically, there was space to use the great sword.

“Fuck you! “You noticed!”

“Kill! “Kill me!”

“What are you doing, knight?” Step on it! “Just step on it!”

He also revealed his true colors.

Having lost the two in the blink of an eye, the remaining eight passengers each grabbed their weapons and aimed at Kang-hoo and Yoon Sang-mi.

Another passenger who rode with us at Pyeongtaek Station was also a member of the group. It seems he was checking the atmosphere.

The driver was pressing the accelerator hard with a pale face, and it seemed like there had been a few threats.

When I took a quick look at the article, I saw that blood was flowing from his right ear. It is a trace of a threat.

Kanghu said.

“A gentleman knight. Just press the door opening button once.”

“Then I die…!”

“If I don’t press it, I will kill you?”

Chi-ik!

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened. Because it was a moving bus, a strong wind blew just by opening the door.

Sangmi Yoon stayed by his side without saying a word. Because I was curious about what Kanghu would say.

“you guys. The one who is getting off now will be specially sent alive. You only get one chance. Let me count three. three.”

“You idiot! Look at the numbers now! “Is it time for you to be mean?”

The closest hunter shouted. A hunter without a constellation.

Hunter, whose constellation Ganghu had been interested in from the beginning, was seated in the very back seat of the bus.

It was also an unsightly posture with legs spread wide, as if expressing all the arrogance of the world.

He was leisurely examining the situation with his arms crossed.

“two.”

Instead of responding to what Kang-hu had said earlier, he counted the numbers.

Seeing that no one was moving at all, it seemed like they were confident of a clear victory due to their numerical superiority.

“one. end.”

After counting the numbers, Ganghu immediately used the skill enhancement he had saved earlier.

The target was blood painting.

【Blood Burning】

【Skill Proficiency: Ultimate】

【Causes a powerful explosion using the wounds and flowing blood on the target.】 【

Not a single target, but all targets within a 10m radius can be selected as the target for Blood Burning.】

【 In order to activate Blood Flower on the same target again, 1 day must pass for the target.】

‘Good.’

Ganghu clenched his fists.

The skill mastery display has been changed to ‘Ultimate’, which symbolizes the ultimate skill.

Now, Blood Flower has become the perfect skill to finish a one-on-one battle.

The explosive power mediated by blood and wounds would have grown to a level that could not be compared to existing blood fire.

In other words, even an insignificant wound can now turn into a serious or fatal injury in one go.

Is that why?

widely!

In order to give a clear warning to the kidnapping gang, Kang-hu snapped his fingers, sacrificing the two who had died earlier.

That moment.

Scoop it up!

Along with the heavy drinking, Hunter’s head, whose forehead had been pierced by Ganghu, disappeared without a trace before everyone’s eyes.

“Fuck…”

“What is that? What is that?”

“A person explodes…?”

The expressions of the entire gang, which had been confident of easy crushing and one-sided destruction, turned pale.

Even if something went wrong, the look in his eyes was that it was wrong for a long time.
