The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 286

Episode 286: Joo Hae-mi (2)

* * *

Kang-hu, who met the thousand-year old man with K, could see another woman next to him.

– If you want to stay in Korea for a while, you need to make some preparations. There is a lot to take care of. There are people to bring along.

As Kang-hu recalled the conversation he had with the Cheon-sal old man before, he recognized the significance of her accompanying him.

In the original work, it appears only briefly as an expression that there is a confidant guarding the residence of a thousand-year-old veteran.

So I vaguely thought that he was a confidant of the same sex as Moon Hyeong-seo, but that was not the case.

She was a young woman who looked at least forty years younger than the thousand-year-old monk.

Although the blind man’s features were visible, her eyes were clearly looking at Ganghu’s exact location.

‘Is the content briefly written in the original manifested as a living person like this?’

I thought it was amazing again.

The world created by the expression ‘confidant’ unfolds before your eyes.

Is her existence and appearance really a part of the unconscious? Or is it a spontaneous product?

First of all, Ganghu bowed politely to his teacher whom he met again.

“Master, you worked hard to come here. “I’m glad to see you again.”

“Do you think I would feel good if I said I was happy with such an expressionless face? “Ah… you damn bastard.”

Kang-hu laughed at the reaction of the old man who spewed out harsh words filled with affection (?) from the beginning.

K was laughing next to her, but she didn’t really react.

Instead, he extended his hand to Kang Hu and shook his hand.

“This is Joo Hae-mi.”

“This is Shin Kang-hoo.”

Joo Hae-mi.

It seems like an uncommon name.

It is also a name that has never been mentioned in any way in the original work.

At the time, I was wondering if I was too young to be called the henchman of a thousand-year-old warrior.

The thousand-year-old old man looked at her with the most benevolent expression in the world and spoke emphatically to Kang Hu.

“She is my adoptive daughter. I am also quite friendly with Yuri. You said you know Yuri well too, right? “Get along well with Haemi.”

“Yes Master.”

It looks like there is already a relationship between Joo Hae-mi and Jeong Yu-ri.

More than that, she is a foster daughter. It was an unexpected picture. She was not a henchman, but a daughter.

There definitely seemed to be a story.

A person like a 100-year-old veteran would not have taken in his adopted daughter for no reason.

I don’t know what happened, but something must have happened between the two that had to happen.

Ganghu scanned Joo Hae-mi’s constellation. Three constellations are visible. At this level, the level is at least 450.

【Eye of the Heart】

【This is a constellation that allows you to see even if you cannot see it. Some of the opponent’s movements can also be predicted.】

‘The constellations that erased her handicap. Rather, it makes possible more than what the eye can see.’

I understood Joo Hae-mi’s gaze, which was staring at me accurately even though her eyes were covered.

【Hani Wind】

【Brings out a strong wind in conjunction with all attack skills. A wind barrier can be implemented.】

‘It’s sharp.’

The constellation that controls the wind is more valuable than you think.

This is because if you can manipulate the wind powerfully, you can also block or reverse the enemy’s skills.

Alternatively, it can significantly slow down the speed of the flying skill, making it very easy to evade.

It was also the constellation that Ganghu would have desired first if he had been a wizard rather than an assassin.

【Cannot be measured】

【This constellation is a constellation that prevents one’s abilities from being exposed to the outside world in any way.

Even if a third party looks at the constellation information, they will never know what kind of ability the constellation has.】

‘It’s special.’

Constellations have separate abilities.

What Ganghu is seeing now is that it is not the main ability of the constellation, but something like an innate characteristic.

In other words, if Joo Hae-mi had seen the information on the unmeasurable constellation, a completely different message would have been output.

As befits a character who lives by the side of a thousand-year-old veteran, it was immediately decided that he was not an ordinary person.

I thought maybe he could be another disciple of the Cheonsalro Su. It is a very possible picture.

“What are you looking at so intently?”

At that time, the Cheonsalnosu tapped Kang Hu, who was unconsciously fixating his eyes on Joo Hae-mi, with his shoulder.

Joo Hae-mi was a uniquely Chinese beauty, so much so that the expression ‘typical’ could be used.

If Yu Chenghua, a fellow Chinese, feels seductive and provocative.

Joo Hae-mi seemed innocent and pure. They have opposite characteristics to each other.

“I think I’ll see you often.”

“If my daughter is pretty, tell her she’s pretty! Of course, my daughter hates your style the most.”

“What style are you talking about?”

“A guy with bloodless white skin, as if he were going to die tomorrow. “Guys like Jiangshi.”

“….”

I want to deny it, but it’s something I feel every time I look in the mirror, so I nod.

When I glanced at Joo Hae-mi, I saw that she was walking forward without any reaction.

It felt like he would not be liked by anyone except his adoptive father, the Cheonsalnosu.

I even ended up saying my first hello to K, who was walking next to me, with a nod.

Is it true that I am close with Jeong Yu-ri? Maybe when two people have a conversation, 99% of the conversation will be about Jeong Yu-ri.

“Anyway, let’s keep an eye on it together. “This is where I will teach and you will train.”

As I chased after the veteran warrior who was galloping ahead of me, the place that would become the training stage naturally caught my eye.

There was an empty lot the size of a soccer field.

Until just now, the surrounding area was completely covered with trees, so I couldn’t see it at all.

After breaking through the trees and entering, I saw an unexpectedly large empty space.

‘K’s secret space is much more than I thought or knew. ‘This is my first time seeing this villa again.’

Not only was the vacant lot large, but the villa at the end was also something I had never seen before.

It is more than three times larger than the villa where K had previously allowed him to stay.

It was also a villa that was too big for the three of them, Joo Hae-mi and herself.

“older brother! Aren’t you going too far ahead? Wow, you’re already excited. Ha ha ha ha ha.”

K immediately followed behind the old man who was walking without being able to hide his excitement.

Why am I excited?

Ganghu thought that it might not be because of him, his student.

Perhaps it feels good because I came to a place with my adopted daughter where the air is fresh and I am completely free from the gaze of others.

I was satisfied with the space I could share with my student, so it didn’t seem like it was a painting I was excited about.

at that time.

Joo Hae-mi spoke in a low voice next to her.

“My father’s number is….”

The numbers that followed.

I finally found out the contact information of the 100-year-old old man. I didn’t know this, so I sent a message through K.

Kang-hoo entered the number into his smartphone and pressed the call button and turned it off.

And when I showed the number I had called to Joo Hae-mi for confirmation, she nodded. Looks like I remembered it well.

I thought that would be the end of my short interaction with her, but suddenly Joo Hae-mi continued speaking.

It was a much longer sentence than I expected, so much so that Kang-hu was startled.

“My father really cared a lot about Shin Kang-hoo and prepared a lot.”

“okay. “I didn’t say anything, so I didn’t know for sure.”

“The residence you were staying in in China was temporary, but you closed it anyway. “He was willing to spend a long time here.”

“Is this consistent with the reason Joo Hae-mi came with us?”

“yes. If you had planned to come for a short time, you probably would have come alone like last time. But not this time.”

“Um…”

“I hope you don’t disappoint your father’s expectations. Right now, the person for whom every minute and every second is more precious than anyone else is my father. “I don’t want to be around someone who wastes that time.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

To Kang-hoo, Joo Hae-mi’s words did not sound offensive or crossed the line.

Rather, it touched Kang-hu’s heart.

This is because he could feel through her words that the 1000-year old master was thinking about him. It was a hot feeling.

“Personally, this will be my first and last time speaking at such length.”

“As convenient as you like. There will be no pressure to have a conversation. There will be no need to say anything carelessly.”

Kang-hoo promised to respect the ‘distance’ she wanted.

It’s okay to keep talking to someone who doesn’t want to talk to you in the hopes of becoming friends.

Kang-hu thought it was not consideration or interest, but one-sided disregard and violence. It will be tailored to her wishes.

Sigh. Sigh.

The walk to the villa was quite charming, stepping on fallen leaves.

The wind was cool and the sky was clear and blue, making me want to lie down on just one bench.

Kanghu thought as he looked at the back of the old man walking with K, chuckling and walking at the same pace.

【Skill Copy 1 time】

【You can copy one skill you have personally checked against a Hunter, regardless of gender level or class.】 【

There is no penalty due to class mismatch during the acquisition process, and 100% efficiency is inherited.】

Before level 100 This is a perk obtained by achieving and spinning the Yabawi wheel.

At first they thought of Jang Si-hwan, but later they changed their target to Kang-hu.

That target has now become ‘Master’ and is right in front of you.

I kept thinking about what it would be like to copy a skill from my teacher.

This is because he has a lot of really useful skills. It’s almost painful to list them all.

‘Maybe it would be better to discuss it openly with Master?’

Ganghu was considering seriously discussing it with Hunter Cheonsalnosu, who would copy the skill.

Then, the 1000-year old master may recommend the skill you are most confident in and would like to pass on.

Of course, if the conversation went wrong… at that time, it seemed like I had no life left.

* * *

Around that time.

A man emerged from a corner of the waste disposal site, wiping the sweat from his face with a handkerchief.

There was one thing there that others would never expect. It was the entrance to the dungeon.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

A man came out, letting out a sigh of bitterness.

Hunters who were waiting for him encouraged him by giving him cool water and handing him thick towels.

“Let’s cover it for now. There is nothing good about exposing the entrance for too long. “It could be caught by a detector.”

“all right.”

Everyone moved around busily at the man’s words.

Drurr. Come on.

Kiiiiig.

After pushing all the waste drums marked with poison in front of the entrance and even the rusty steel structure.

Not only can you not see what’s inside, but it has an ugly exterior that makes it difficult to even approach.

in between.

“hmm?”

The man opened his smartphone, which he had left behind, and was caught by an unexpected email.

A secure email address that has never been made public, especially to the Public Security Agency.

An anonymous email had arrived there.

– You don’t know me, but I know your thoughts and actions.

Goseon Waste Treatment Plant.

Do you often go to the dungeon there? I wonder if he is still seeing this email there even now.

“….”

It was something that sent shivers down the man’s spine.

– Mr. Yoo Do-hoon. From now on, whether you take my words to heart or ignore them is entirely up to you.

And the anonymous caller clearly specified his name.

The man’s identity is Yoo Do-hoon.

It was a man from the Public Safety Office.
