The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 304
Episode 304: Famous Guild (1)
“Hello? “This is Kwak Hyeong-seok of the Black Lion.”
“This is Kwak Hyung-su. I can finally see you. “I was a little late because I had to clean up afterward.”
Kwak Hyung-seok and Kwak Hyung-su came side by side to shake Kang Hu’s hand.
Judging from the information according to the scanned constellations, the level of the two people appears to be around 450.
The reason Kang-hu had no choice but to ‘guess’ their level was because they had almost no role in the original work.
In many cases, it was presented as a passing description, so detailed information was not mentioned.
In the end, from Kang-hu’s perspective, it could only be the realm of the ‘unconscious’, but now it has been quantified.
On an objective level, he is inferior to Kang Dong-hyun, the leader of Eclipse, but he is still quite capable.
‘The original story always centered around the Jeonghwa guild in Seoul. So there were few opportunities for stories outside of Seoul to be highlighted.’
Shin Kang-hoo, who lived a life completely opposite to that of Jang Si-hwan in the original work.
Therefore, all the elements surrounding Ganghu were filled with things outside of Seoul.
In other words, in the future, we will continue to encounter beings like the Black Lion, who had a low role in the original work but have a high perceived importance to the current Ganghu.
In the process, the area created by the unconscious will become concrete.
Things like their abilities, constellations, hidden secrets, and behind-the-scenes stories.
“Nice to meet you. This is Shin Kang-hoo. You are the Black Lions. I have heard of its reputation. Lion King. “Black Death King.”
“ha ha ha! It feels so good to hear that name called. “Personally, this is a modifier I really like.”
When Kang-hoo secretly floated the two people, Kwak Hyeong-seok and Kwak Hyeong-soo burst into laughter as they felt better.
In the long run, Ganghu thought that antagonism with the Black Lion was impossible.
First of all, their guardian force is the Russian Casmar guild, which does not have a very good relationship with Kang Hu.
This is because the Black Lion is the force that threatens Lee Ye-rin, who is viewed as a potential ally.
Rather, it is a force that should be nipped in the bud in advance if the opportunity arises. It’s impossible for our relationship to get better.
But that’s why Ganghu treated them more kindly.
It is wisest to wear a soft sheep’s clothing until the sharp thorns are revealed.
“Please take care of me in the future.”
Kang Hu bowed his head respectfully towards the two people. It was a polite gesture with a lot of meaning.
The more you show them your dull side and the more favor you gain, the easier it will be to stab them in the back later.
Although we are currently in a strategic cooperation relationship, I did not think that our partnership would continue forever.
Water and oil cannot mix.
They just pretend to blend in.

Around that time.
Jang Si-hwan briefly returned to Seoul to treat a wound on his wrist during the battle.
Anyway, Chae Gwan-hyeong was in charge of commanding the battlefield, and Chae Gwan-hyeong was Jang Si-hwan’s most trusted friend and subordinate.
“Are you okay? “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you receive such intensive treatment.”
A man looked worried as he saw Jang Si-hwan putting his wrist on the treatment device linked to the magic stone.
It was a shared seat.
Although he disliked Chae Gwan-hyung, he truly respected Jang Si-hwan and was very worried about Jang Si-hwan’s injury.
“Oh, you mean this? are you okay. The Red Tigers need to be a bit persistent. “I let my guard down.”
“The tenacity of the Red Tigers is truly astounding. “I never thought he would go after the Master, even giving up the life of a Hunter.”
“Lee Hyun-seok is smart. And the Hunters of the Abyss are ready to sacrifice their lives at any time for their leader.”
“If you just give me instructions, I will immediately go to the Dongducheon front and sacrifice my life for my master.”
“no. There’s no need to overdo it. We have the advantage in long-term games. “In all aspects of medicine, drug supply, and power supply.”
Jang Si-hwan took a sip of the coffee in the cup in front of him and looked at Gong Seok.
This was because he had just come to visit him because he had something to report. It seems like there was a brief departure from the main topic.
Gong Yoo-seok, who read the meaning in Jang Si-hwan’s eyes, immediately held out the tablet PC he had brought.
There was a still image on the screen, and it was a very interesting image to Jang Si-hwan.
“What is it?”
“The report was late because the Master had been resting since last night. “A battle broke out in the Cheongmyeong camp.”
“Eclipse’s workshop?”
Jang Si-hwan’s eyes glowed red.
Although he could not understand all the issues happening in the country in real time, he had all the key information.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“What are the results?”
“The commander of the Cheongmyeong camp, Jo Hwan-seong, is dead, and the camp and Maseok Mine have fallen into the hands of the Union.”
“This is my first time hearing about an alliance… but it looks like the Cheongan mercenaries and the Black Lion will be involved. “Is Jeon Se-hyuk added to this?”
“You saw it correctly.”
“But the hunter seen in this video doesn’t seem to belong to any alliance? “It’s Xinganghu, right?”
Jang Si-hwan’s deep curiosity was evident as he licked his lips with the tip of his tongue.
However, it is inconsistent with his actions to say that Kang Hu belonged to any of the three forces.
Jang Si-hwan was convinced that Kang Hu acted alone. But why did Gong Seok bring Kang Hu’s video?
Rather, the one who deserves the spotlight is Jeon Se-hyuk, who has a deep negative relationship with Eclipse.
“The reason I brought the video is because Shin Kang-hu infiltrated the camp alone and killed the director.”
“to?”
“Not only that, it looks like they were caught off guard by blocking the reinforcements from joining in the middle.”
“You infiltrated alone? Are you saying that it was done from outside the camp to the inside without any help from insiders?”
“Yes that’s right.”
“haha. “Are you… a little crazy?”
Using the expression that Jang Si-hwan was crazy was an indirect way of saying that it was that hard to believe.
On the other hand, it was also an expression that there was no way to predict how Kang Hu had infiltrated.
“Let’s watch the video. “You’ll see a few skills that might be of interest.”
When Jang Si-hwan played the video, Kang Hu was seen fighting multiple battles against the guards.
Looking at the angle of the photo and the surroundings, it was clear that one of the guards had taken the photo.
Since it was taken while it was raining, the quality of the picture was not good, so it was difficult to understand the details of the situation.
Among them, Jang Si-hwan was able to clearly confirm one particularly unique skill.
‘Is it the Infinite Wall…?’
It was Jang Si-hwan who had previously recognized the existence of the universal hidden skill, Flawless Wall, through a hidden skill alarm.
Since he also had a hidden skill, a notification message was sent only to those with the hidden skill.
There was a reason why Jang Si-hwan was convinced that the form of implementation of Kang-hoo’s defense skill was the Flawless Wall.
Not only is it a defensive skill that is not suitable for an assassin, but it is also extremely efficient.
Isn’t that right?
Even though dozens of gunners aimed their guns and fired, all the magic bullets were blocked by the wall.
An ordinary assassin could never have it, and even if he did, he couldn’t achieve that level of efficiency.
In the video, Ganghu neutralized all of Gunner’s magic bullet attacks with one defensive skill.
What the Gunners received in return was death as they were constantly ravaged by Ganghu’s attacks.
‘There are suspicions that Shin Kang-hu may have acquired hidden skills for assassins, but if Shin Kang-hu had also acquired the Wall of Flawlessness, it would be a completely different story.’
Lee Chae looked young in the eyes of Jang Si-hwan, who slightly lowered his head so that Gong Yoo-seok could not see his eyes.
Strange emotions were colliding inside Jang Si-hwan.
Curiosity about Kang-hu is mixed with a certain fear that feels his existence as a threat.
It was a feeling that was not easy to feel.
* * *
After finishing his work at the Cheongmyeong concentration camp, Kang Hu immediately headed back to Yuri Land.
I’ve already seen what’s going on outside.
They obtained Infernus in Busan and succeeded in changing the owner of the Cheongmyeong concentration camp.
I was planning to go back and focus on training with the Cheonsa Nosu and then leave for Japan on the date I would meet Takashi.
Before I went back, I tried calling Park Dong-jae just in case.
Since he was nearby, I wanted to come out and meet Park Dong-jae and the famous guild.
If it’s just a short conversation, even three or four hours will be enough.
As soon as Kang-hoo called, Park Dong-jae answered the call right away. As if he was waiting.
– brother!
“Oh, Dongjae.”
– I heard about the Cheongmyeong concentration camp! I heard it from Sehyuk hyung and I really couldn’t believe it.
“It’s so quick to hear a rumor.”
– Now I know because Sehyuk hyung maintained security even for me! Well, it’s wise, but it’s a bit disappointing, right?
“That’s it.”
– As expected, Kanghu hyung… he’s really cool.
“Dongjae.”
– huh?
“I have plans to go abroad soon. While I have time, I’d like to meet the members of the famous guild. “Would it be too sudden if I asked to meet you now?”
– Wow, I got goosebumps.
“why?”
– I’m currently meeting with people from the famous guild. It’s not even that far from Cheongmyeong concentration camp.
“okay?”
– uh! Isn’t that a distance that can be reached in 30 minutes? You just came out of the Cheongmyeong camp, right?
“That’s right.”
– Let’s meet right away, bro! The master welcomes you with both hands and feet! I want you to come quickly?
“Then just give me the address. “I’ll go there by taking a taxi or whatever.”
– okay. I’ll send it right away!
Although the conversation started suddenly, the timing was right and the meeting took place right away.
There was no harm in becoming closer to the famous guild in the future. Rather, there are many elements that can be beneficial.
Thanks to being notified in advance of the dangers related to the Haeyoung Guild, the fear of being in trouble in the future has almost disappeared.
Moreover, due to this incident, the famous guild has a deep sense of indebtedness to itself.
Although it is not pleasant to discuss superiority or inferiority based on people’s hearts.
In any case, in the logic of power, it was also true that Ganghu was in a superior position to the famous guild.
Jang Seon-yeong, the master of a famous guild, has a personality that cannot live without being indebted to others.
Gwara Kanghu, who had a similar personality to Lee Hyeon-seok, the leader of the warlord Abyss, also had a personality that was easy to control in many ways.
‘It definitely feels like my range of activities is broadening. very good. If only my territory was clearly secured outside of the purification guild’s sphere of influence.’
This is the picture I wanted from the beginning.
Establishing connections with the Purification Guild, friendly forces, and other key forces excluding Eclipse.
The sketch, which had been prepared for a long time with time and effort, was just now being vividly colored.
at that time.
“Anyway, if you go to Japan for Takashi’s work, don’t you think it would be a bad idea to solve this problem now?”
A thought suddenly occurred to Ganghu and he turned his gaze to the constellation window.
This is because the thought of the third perk of the constellation ‘Angel of Battle’ and the reward of the three choices suddenly came to mind.
Increased divine power.
Divine skill rental.
Obtain absolute brilliance.
Since I was going to Japan, I wanted to get a reward that would inevitably be beneficial no matter what I chose.
It was a temptation too irresistible to ignore and just return.
