The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 285

Episode 285 Joo Hae-mi (1)

* * *

“As expected… this is my hometown.”

I felt relieved just by breathing the familiar air of Korea.

From the moment you land at the airport, you get the feeling that this is Korea.

After completing the immigration procedures, I received a call from Takashi, as if he was watching me.

The content was simple.

The dungeon attack schedule has been confirmed to be 7 days later.

The members, as mentioned before, were Kanghu, Takashi, Yu Cheonghwa, and Emilia.

Since the level of dungeon penetration is determined based on the average level of the four people, the level of difficulty seemed to be high for Kanghu.

Before returning home, Kang Hu was planning to head straight to Yuri Land as he had previously contacted in Germany.

The reason is that the residence of a thousand-year old beast was scheduled to be prepared there.

According to K, the old man grumbled, but it was probably an unexpected reaction.

K is the younger brother that the 1000-year old man cherishes the most. There is no way that the old man would have disliked such consideration from his younger brother.

In addition, in the glass land area, K was tightly controlling the surrounding security, so it was free from outside prying eyes.

Unless you want to get shot, no hunter will come near you.

It goes without saying that if you are a hunter from the Jeonghwa guild that has a good relationship with K. I’ll try not to cause any unnecessary irritation.

A safety limousine had already been prepared for K’s consideration.

Kang-hu briefly thanked K for his preparations and then got into the safety limousine.

Since K is said to be busy, it appears that there is a large-scale supply of chemicals to the purification guild.

This is natural since one of his main clients is the Purification Guild.

Perhaps the demand for herbal medicines has increased due to the recent Battle of Dongducheon, so their prices have also skyrocketed.

From K’s perspective, there would be no more business than now.

Soon, Kang-hoo got into the limousine and headed to Yuri Land, enjoying a comfortable ride.

And while I was in Germany, I checked news related to the domestic situation that I had never looked into.

In Germany, I intentionally did not pay attention to the news because I wanted to focus on strategy.

It’s only now that I finally get to see the backlog of news, but perhaps that’s why there’s so much news piled up.

I thought I would just turn my attention to the vast amount of news and listen to music, but in the end, my eyes moved first.

‘This is a bit strong.’

The news that caught Ganghu’s attention was that the warlord Abyss had tied the main attack of the Jeonghwa guild to one front.

It is said that they attacked the headquarters of the Haeyoung Guild, which participated in the Battle of Dongducheon, and caused considerable damage.

In the process, news was also written that Cho Ji-hoon, the fourth-highest ranking officer in the Haeyoung Guild, had died.

Looking at the video of the scene, he was surrounded by the Red Tigers of the Abyss and died without even having time to escape.

That wasn’t all.

Before his death, Cho Ji-hoon revealed even the internal secrets of the Haeyoung Guild before his death.

It seemed like there was some kind of struggle to survive or a suggestion of the abyss that was not captured in the video.

– The reason we decided to cooperate with the Purification Guild was to confirm the business feasibility of their main business, hunter buying and selling!

We didn’t just cooperate! There was a reason for everything! There were things I was secretly trying to find out internally!

So please save me! I don’t want to get killed here…!

The video released by Abyss even showed Jo Chi-hoon dying.

Just looking at this content, it was expected that it would cause a huge stir, but it was resolved faster than expected.

The Jeonghwa Haeyoung Guild issued an official statement almost simultaneously and said that it was an intentional manipulation by Abyss.

He revealed that the relationship between Jeonghwa Guild and Haeyoung Guild is still strong and is not an insignificant relationship that can be destroyed by a single traitor.

However, the situation did not calm down easily with the two guilds’ statements.

Follow-up reports followed.

There was a particularly big issue.

Several popular influencers on Hunter Gram began receiving information from the abyss and providing it.

‘Are we going to a propaganda war? That’s a good choice. It’s something I should have done a long time ago.’

Kanghu took the pro-Abyss side and welcomed the appearance of an influencer who began distributing short videos and related materials.

They uploaded a video of Kim Dae-man, the 4th-ranked member of the Jeonghwa Guild, handing over a captured hunter to the Casmar Guild.

Source is unknown.

However, based on the camera angle, it seemed clear that there was a hunter who took the video inside the Kashmar Guild.

In other words, it is an internal leak. Perhaps it was an intentional leak. The video must have been sold for quite a high price.

Kim Dae-man’s face was captured too clearly in the video itself to raise suspicions of manipulation.

Furthermore, since the content and circumstances relate to human trafficking of hunters, it has become a situation that cannot be left out.

It was an incident that really tarnished the image of Jang Si-hwan, who had condemned the evil deeds of the Casmar Guild more than anyone else.

First of all, on Hunter Gram, interpretations were divided between pro-Jeonghwa and pro-Abyss influencers.

The influencers on the Purification Guild side said that the hunters they bought and sold were former criminal prisoners from the abyss, and they went as far as saying that they were cheap guys.

Influencers who sided with the abyssal warlords pointed out Jang Si-hwan’s wrongdoing. It was persistent biting.

‘I never thought the butterfly effect that saved Lee Hyun-seok would go this far… I really feel like I’ve twisted fate.’

Just because Lee Hyun-seok is alive, he has now embroiled the Jeonghwa guild and the Haeyoung guild.

The propaganda campaign of the abyss was exactly what Kang Hu had hoped for, and it was working well.

‘I think it would be a good idea to send me another good source via secure email.’

What Kang-hu thought of was the existence of a helper within the Public Security Agency who seemed to be able to cooperate with Lee Hyun-seok.

It is a being that is connected to the content of the original work.

In the original work, the Public Safety Agency later staged a kind of ‘rebellion’ targeting the interests of the Jeonghwa Guild.

An attempt to assassinate executives of the Jeonghwa Guild, including Jang Si-hwan and Chae Gwan-hyeong, was suppressed.

Of course, as soon as it started, the three top heads of the Public Security Office were the first to have their throats slit.

Since those three were faithful collaborators of the Purification Guild, they were the rebels’ top priority for elimination.

The person depicted as the leader of the rebel army was Yu Do-hoon, one of the Hunters of the Public Security Agency.

It was depicted that he felt deep disappointment after seeing the Public Safety Office being reduced to the 2nd company of the Purification Guild.

Furthermore, in order to establish the authority of the Public Security Agency, of course, it is necessary to kill all the hypocrites, including the chief.

It was decided that it would be best to destroy the Purification Guild, the source of all evil.

However, this is a story that takes place two to three years from now, and the Jeonghwa guild’s power was stronger at that time.

All of the rebels were arrested after causing a typhoon in a teacup.

What happened to the captured rebels after that, whether they died or not, was not discussed further in the original work.

‘Although Yoo Do-hoon was portrayed as greedy… if you turn it around to match the ending of this damned delusion, that itself may have been a lie.’

Kanghu bit his lip tightly.

Because of this fucking delusional collaborator ending that he created as the original author.

The fact that I always had to reinterpret the existing situation, content, and future always gave me headaches.

Because of the ending, the original content itself has become a story of ‘the world seen by a delusional Jang Si-hwan’.

Therefore, justice cannot be interpreted as justice and injustice as injustice.

‘There’s nothing to be greedy about anymore. All you have to do is create a point of contact between Yoo Do-hoon and Lee Hyun-seok just once. If you just make him aware that there is an external force that can control him, he will take care of his own path.’

Kang-hoo changed his plan to send a secure email to Lee Hyun-seok and Yoo Do-hoon at the same time.

If things went the way I wanted, it would be a pretty fun picture.

To put it bluntly, the current Public Safety Agency is an organization that does not need to exist. No, it would be better to disappear.

If you can damage the purification guild and disintegrate it in the air, doing so is several times more beneficial.

Crack. Crackling.

Kanghu’s fingers began to move diligently.

Stories that will be delivered to the two people via anonymous, secure email.

What kind of content should I start with?

* * *

By that time, the 1000-year-old veteran had already arrived at Yuri Land, unpacked all his belongings at the villa, and came out.

Next to him was a woman with a stocky body.

Although she is only known to the outside world as a young woman practicing Cheonsalnosu.

In fact, she was the adoptive daughter of a thousand-year old monk.

Just as K and Kang Bok-hwa adopted Jeong Yu-ri, the 1000-year-old old man also had such an adopted daughter.

Her name is Joo Hae-mi, who turns 23 this year.

If there was one characteristic, it was that there was a problem with vision.

Perhaps because he was virtually blind, Joo Hae-mi always wore an eyepatch to cover his eyes.

And changing the color of the eye patch every time was not a hobby, but a hobby.

This is because if you are very close, you can distinguish the shape and see a little bit of color.

The only consolation was seeing the color of the blindfold covering my eyes and feeling that my optic nerves were alive at least a little.

He rarely spoke, but if there was one person he talked to a lot, it was his adoptive father, a thousand-year old man.

Right now, it’s just the two of us.

She, who had never said anything except a greeting when she met K, was the first to speak.

“father. “Does the hunter named Shin Kang-hoo really have the skills and qualifications to become my father’s disciple?”

Joo Hae-mi’s words clearly conveyed her suspicions about Kang Hu.

It wasn’t that I had any ill feelings towards Kang Hu.

He wonders whether his adoptive father, who has suffered a lot, is worthy of giving his heart to someone else.

I was also cautious.

It was because I thought that if the 100-year old master got hurt again, he would go berserk.

The thousand-year old man nodded.

“There is a guy who can tell the future by looking at the present. Shin Kang-hoo was exactly like that.”

“Are you saying you saw your father’s past?”

“okay. “You could see me.”

“Then… he must be a lonely person.”

“You can say that too.”

The thousand-year old man laughed.

What I felt from the first time I saw Kang-hu was that he looked surprisingly similar to himself when he was young.

Not to mention the expressionless face that doesn’t seem to show any significant change in emotion or agitation.

He had the temperament of a fighter who tackled everything seriously and seriously.

In fact, it wasn’t long ago that the old man of a thousand years changed into such a generous personality.

If K hadn’t brought out his original personality buried inside, he would still be cold-hearted about everything.

You must have become a person who is used to hiding your emotions. From the perspective of others, he would have become a person whose true intentions are unknown.

However, thanks to the efforts of his younger brother K, Nosoo Cheon-sal became a person who was more honest about his feelings than ever before.

“What does your father want from you? “If you decide to take me as a disciple… I think you must have something in mind.”

At Joo Hae-mi’s question, the thousand-year-old’s eyes deepened.

After being silent for a moment, the thousand-year old man held Joo Hae-mi’s hand tightly.

At that moment, Joo Hae-mi’s hands trembled. This is because I read the emotions of a 1000-year old warrior contained within it.

Hae-mi Joo was able to feel her father’s emotions even without making eye contact or hearing his voice.

The tears flowing from her eyes hidden behind the blindfold were not an overreaction. It was a transference of emotions.

“How much longer…”

Then, just as the Cheonsalnosu was about to answer Joo Hae-mi’s words.

“older brother! Im here!”

I saw K waving his hand happily. It seemed like Ganghu had finally arrived.
