The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 47

Episode 47 Jang Si-hwan (2)

“Where are you from?”

“This is Yangyang. “It’s a bit far.”

“It looks like you are a mercenary. Isn’t that right? “Yangyang, Gangwon-do is known as a very famous mercenary gathering place.”

“yes.”

Ganghu nodded.

No matter what Jang Si-hwan thinks, there is no need to give a specific answer.

The reason he said he came from Yangyang was because, as he said, it was a place where many mercenaries gathered.

Since there are many mercenary groups, there is no need to say which group you belong to.

There was a moment of silence.

He looked like he was expecting Jang Si-hwan to look at him so intently that he would pretend to know.

Making a fuss about meeting a famous person was completely contrary to Kanghu’s personality.

No, it was something so unfamiliar and embarrassing that it was impossible to even imitate.

On the other hand, there was a reason why I felt the need to pretend to know. What’s so great about this guy?

“How did Yangyang view the Jeonghwa Guild and me?”

Jang Si-hwan changed the topic.

In the meantime, it seemed like he wanted to make Kang Hu aware of what kind of person he was.

Kanghu responded with an awkward smile.

“I have a lot of interest in Jeonghwa Guild and Jang Si-hwan, who created the orderly Seoul that it is today.”

“Oh really?”

“Everyone wants to belong to the Purification Guild. “You don’t have to live a wandering life, and you get support.”

“That’s good news.”

It’s a lie told to make you feel good.

Ganghu, who had never been to Gangwon-do, let alone Yangyang, cleverly made up a lie.

Unless you can get your head around it, you’ll never notice it’s a lie.

Jang Si-hwan continued.

“Then are you interested in our Purification Guild?”

“It would be a lie if I said there wasn’t. “But it’s a shame that I don’t have the skills to do that.”

“Are we open to the entrance test at any time?”

“I’m still embarrassed.”

“You are very humble. Usually, hunters have pride in their skills, no matter how big or small.”

“Maybe it’s because I’ve broken down a lot here and there, but I really lack confidence.”

Conversation took place amidst searching eyes.

It could have been a normal conversation, but Kang-hu couldn’t help but feel nervous throughout the conversation.

This is because we cannot know when and how the situation will change.

Moreover, I don’t know why, but I felt that Jang Si-hwan was particularly interested in me.

It is true that he has a friendly personality, but he is not the type to talk at length to someone he meets for the first time.

There was nothing more to say here, so I glanced behind me and saw that the hunters guarding Jang Si-hwan were starting to move.

It is to carry out the mission.

It puts unspoken pressure on the person next to the Master who has not been identified.

So as not to stay for a long time. This is their security policy.

“I have to go back now. “It was a fun outing in Seoul.”

“Take a look. “It was a short time, but it was nice.”

“I hope you always stay safe.”

Kang-hu left after giving a compliment that he didn’t even mean to say.

The escort hunter’s harsh gaze was fixed on the back of his head until he disappeared from sight.

Perhaps because I moved without making eye contact with them as much as possible, their faces didn’t seem to be imprinted on me.

‘I shouldn’t come often.’

In the elevator going down, Kanghu thought with a wry smile.

The observatory is Jang Si-hwan’s resting place and place for meditation. As you come here often, you will have many face-to-face encounters.

Of course, to him now, he is still just an insignificant hunter. I guess it’s just a little bit of interest.

That’s good.

There is no need to be recognized in advance until names and faces inevitably become known to the world.

after.

Kanghu took a safe bus from Seoul to the bus terminal near Gwangju Songjeong Station and lay down comfortably.

Thanks to the careful observation of my surroundings until the moment I got on the bus, I was not noticed by Cha So-hee.

Although I spent quite a bit of money, the seat was comfortable thanks to the premium safety bus.

All seats are for one person and a small curtain is drawn, creating a sufficiently independent space.

However, there were not many hunters who took the bus.

In the first place, the entire area around Gwangju Songjeong Station was a huge battlefield, so there was no need to go there unless you were a mercenary.

There is no reason to risk your life when you don’t know when and where you will be involved in a battle.

Unless, like Kang-hu, you have a must-go errand or are employed by an organization related to combat.

“Hmm…”

Kanghu looked through the data he had collected in advance and filled in any missing information from memory.

The contents mentioned in the original work will be implemented as is.

First of all, the reason why the entire Gwangsan-gu area of Gwangju became a battlefield was simple.

This was because there were as many as three very large magic stone mines. That too inside an open dungeon.

It was five times the size of the Cheongmyeong Maseok Mine, which was connected to the Cheongmyeong concentration camp where Ganghu was located.

Daily net profit amounted to at least 1.5 billion won. It’s a bonanza where you can profit just by digging.

Who would give up when you can earn as much as 45 billion won in organizational funds in just one month?

A total of four forces were competing over these mines.

There are 3 guilds and 1 mercenary alliance.

Cheongho Haeyeong’s leading mercenary union kingdom.

Cheongho was originally a guild that was based here. He is the original owner.

The remaining three are forces twisted from outside, and in the case of the Haeyoung guild, a satellite guild was established here.

The original base was in Busan, but as the company coveted the Maseok mine, it expanded its reach here.

His influence was so great that it is said that if there is Jeonghwa in Seoul, there is Haeyoung in Busan.

So, they established a branch of the Haeyoung Guild in Gwangju and were constantly dispatching hunters.

The Yusu guild belatedly took root in Gwangju, but took out many of its members from Cheongho.

And Kingdom was an alliance of mercenaries who came together only for the benefit of the magic stone mine.

Although the sense of solidarity was less than that of other organizations, there were many talented people in that they thoroughly pursued profits.

I was a little nervous.

It’s not because I’m afraid of them, but because I don’t know when and where a place will suddenly turn into a battlefield.

Because it is a place where so many different forces are involved, it is easy for even unrelated people to be misunderstood and get swept up in it.

If the little things get messy, you just have to deal with them yourself.

However, if high-ranking people get involved, the calculations become complicated from then on.

* * *

I took a deep breath and woke up to find myself at the bus terminal near Gwangju Songjeong Station.

Perhaps some people got off in the middle, but Kang-hu was the only one who got off at the end.

As soon as he got off, Kanghu headed to the dungeon near Exit 3.

I had already figured out the location and wanted to see how the surroundings were being managed.

“It’s an authentication system.”

It was as expected.

A separate peace officer was not dispatched to guard the dungeon entrance.

However, the Hunter Police Agency flag was proudly displayed, and a security iron gate was built at the entire entrance to the dungeon.

In other words, it was a structure in which one could never enter without authenticating an issued or approved dungeon license.

Although Hunter Magistrates are treated like toothless tigers, touching the structure is an offence.

The entire surrounding area is monitored by CCTV, and if you tamper with the private property of the Hunter Police Office.

If you’re unlucky, you could become a target of the purification guild, so even the crazy hunter didn’t touch the facility.

This is because it would be a headache to cooperate with the Hunter Police Agency to eliminate criminals or track down wanted criminals.

“Is there about 6 hours left?”

Kanghu checked the time of dungeon license approval through the application and turned around.

Even if I wanted to go into the dungeon for 6 hours, I couldn’t, so I planned to find a suitable place to rest.

at that time.

“hurry! “Move quickly, you bastards!”

“I mean, wake up! “We weren’t sent to just go to sleep, right?”

“Let’s go Haeyoung! “Let’s go out, Haeyoung!”

A group of hunters were seen moving diligently with loud voices.

These are hunters from the Haeyoung Guild.

Seeing that all preparations had already been completed, it seemed like they were moving to the battlefield in a hurry.

The hunters of Haeyoung Guild were notorious.

These were people who never even thought about repatriating prisoners of war, and torture and murder were part of their everyday lives.

He was acting so viciously that the three other organizations competing for control had to band together to keep him in check.

When members of four organizations are involved on the battlefield, Haeyoung’s guild members are the first to attack.

Kanghu stopped in place.

Then I took a step back and quietly watched them move.

However, one hunter, who seemed to be the leader, saw Kang-hu’s actions and screamed loudly.

“Hey, what is that guy? Why are you making fun of me here? Get rid of it! “Knock it off!”

“….”

I didn’t want to lose any effort before going to the dungeon, so I just wanted to let it pass without incident.

They showed their hostility towards Kang-hu, who were very angry.

Without even trying to figure out who it was.

Kanghu said.

“Just go your way. I’m not from here. “If you don’t want to get stabbed, go and mind your own business.”

“What are you saying, you bastard! I think the talking main bird is a Kingdom chick? Kill it! “Start from the neck!”

Although he had expected it, Kang Hu took an offensive stance without hesitation due to the breakdown of the conversation that ended with just one word.

The opponent is nine.

Among them, five are hunters who have contracted with the Constellation, and the rest are minors.

Although I was angry because I was in a position to be misunderstood, I thought it would be better to give a clear warning.

Ta-da-da-da-da!

Kang-hu, who soon entered an acceleration state, rushed head-on toward the group and quickly closed the distance.

There was no hesitation in Ganghu’s movements, as if he had no regard for being outnumbered.

Among them, when the distance between him and the captain, who uses a dagger just like Ganghu, narrowed down to just a stone’s throw away!

Slurp.

The position of Ganghu, who developed a lateral movement, changed from in front of the captain to behind him.

A change of location that no one expected.

Push shot!

At the same time, blood spurted out from the back of the captain’s arm.

Kang Hu immediately struck with a dagger.

He went one step further and stabbed the dagger into the side of another hunter who was moving right next to him.

It was a clear warning.

“…crazy.”

“What is he?”

“He suddenly disappeared, appeared from behind, and was attacked in an instant without even being able to do anything?”

The expressions of the Haeyoung Guild Hunters, who observed the entire series of processes, quickly began to harden.

If you have eyes, you won’t be able to miss the movement that Kang-hu just showed.

Of course, the eyes did not follow the movement, but were belatedly chasing the tail after the situation had occurred.

From an observer’s point of view, it may be nothing more than a spectacle, but for the person involved, it is a ‘backdoor’ that is directly linked to his or her life.

Even though Kang-hu could have killed the two in the current situation, those who were quick to notice felt that it was not the case.

“He’s not an ordinary guy.”

“…let’s fall.”

“Let’s move quickly to the battlefield! “He’s not even a designated target!”

Three hunters are missing.

Funnily enough, the guys with the constellations left first.

We know that life is precious.

Rather, the guys who remained with the leader were small children.

Anyway, those quick-witted guys made quick losses.

The constellations were nothing special, so I didn’t have any regrets about them.

If I had a useful constellation, my thoughts might have been a little different.

‘Selfish, but wise.’

Ganghu laughed as he watched the three hunters leave the scene without even looking back.

However, there are still six foolish idiots in front of whom Lady Luck will not be able to smile.

It’s time for a quick cleanup.
