The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 67

Episode 67: Gimcheon Liberation District (5)

* * *

After hearing the whole story from Min Soo-hyeon, Kang Hu understood why she went to the liberation zone.

Of course, I still don’t understand the recklessness of going in without thinking about the future.

To tell you the conclusion.

Min Soo-hyun had a contract with a constellation that activated hidden effects only for specific items.

At the same time, it was possible to determine the composition information and owner information of a specific item.

Unable to resist the temptation, he entered the Gimcheon Liberation Zone.

So, they even succeeded in stealing the gloves that Shin Jun-ho had left behind.

But she had no escape plan and ended up trapped inside.

Since he was already in the territory of the Black Bone Team, which is famous for its good hand and foot coordination, he wouldn’t have dared to come out.

He said the reason she was running away when Kang-hu arrived was because she couldn’t hold on any longer.

The emergency food I had saved was running low, and the symptoms of dehydration were getting worse, so there was no answer.

“It was a time when I was pulling out my stupid head, regretting it, and thinking about dying. “That’s when my brother came.”

“It seems like you know how to be stupid.”

“I’m not usually stupid.”

Min Soo-hyun chuckled at Kang-hoo’s ill-timed comment. I didn’t feel bad because I acknowledged it myself.

For her part, she was just filled with gratitude to Kang-hoo, who came to save her because of this connection.

On the one hand, Kang-hoo’s ability to move through space remained in my memory and aroused a sense of awe.

On the outside, his clothing and armament clearly resemble that of an assassin, but his abilities are strange.

“Anyway, once I hand it over safely to my uncle, my work is done.”

“I really want to express my personal gratitude. “I don’t have money right now, but if you ask my uncle…”

“That’s enough. “I will take care of that negotiation with your uncle, so don’t reward me arbitrarily.”

“You are humble.”

“It’s not that I’m being humble, it’s just that your kindness gets in the way of my desire to negotiate from a more advantageous position.”

“You’re so picky.”

“In business, you have to be meticulous to avoid any regrets.”

“Take a lot from your uncle. “I just need to repay my uncle that much.”

“Be careful next time.”

“I still think so.”

“I’ll just leave this old-fashioned advice to this point.”

Kanghu handed her a bottle of mineral water from his backpack.

Even though she had already emptied two bottles, she still seemed thirsty.

What Kang-hu said just now was by no means empty.

Because he was planning to make Lee Hyun-seok feel indebted to him and definitely take advantage of him.

It would be great if the world could run smoothly with just pure good will and hearts.

Unfortunately, this damn world isn’t all that rosy.

Moreover, for Kang-hu, who was so dry with so many emotions, there was no such thing as pure goodness.

Everything is just a process to thoroughly pursue profit and obtain it.

If necessary, he can act like a good person, or he can become a piece of human trash.

Thirteen stars are exactly like that.

They prepare to cleverly control the world to their liking by changing and wearing numerous masks.

No, it is already in progress.

Even though Chae Gwan-hyung did such a terrible thing to Jeong Yu-ri right now.

Don’t they say on TV that they will actively defend women’s human rights and pain and take the lead in punishing sex offenders?

Thinking about living with only one face is clearly a foolish idea in today’s world.

Meanwhile, Min Soo-hyun continued talking, perhaps bored with waiting for Lee Hyun-seok, who had not yet arrived.

“I guess you’re not interested in my gloves?”

“Because it’s not my glove.”

“But you can still be curious, right? “If it’s level 2, it’s not something that can be easily obtained.”

“I would have been interested if I wanted to kill you, but I couldn’t do that.”

“Uh… then don’t pay attention.”

Min Soo-hyun flinched.

In terms of level alone, she is more than three times higher.

She had almost no information about Kang-hoo and was very intimidated by him.

What can I say?

I didn’t want to make Kang-hu feel uncomfortable, perhaps because of the strong impression that was ingrained in his mind from the beginning.

Right then.

“You’re here.”

Kang-hu, who recognized Lee Hyun-seok before her, stood up.

The exact opposite of his own, with bronzed skin, a bushy beard, and tightly pressed military uniform, it was the very image of Lee Hyun-seok that was sculpted in the original work.

An epaulette with a reclining S-shaped pattern symbolizing his organization, ‘Abyss’, sparkled on his shoulder.

“uncle! uncle…!”

Min Soo-hyun ran to Lee Hyun-seok within a month.

It looked like a young nephew welcoming his uncle.

“Did you or didn’t you tell me to secure communication lines wherever I go?”

“That’s… uncle. “Inside the liberated area, all signals were completely disrupted and smartphones stopped working.”

“Then why not get to the point where we can contact you!”

“Later, I lost my smartphone….”

“That’s it. “For now, go over there and be quiet.”

A car was standing where Lee Hyun-seok pointed with his finger.

Two women dressed in suits greeted Min Soo-hyun.

They are probably bodyguards who protect Lee Hyun-seok and further protect Min Soo-hyun.

“thank you! “Thank you, brother!”

Min Soo-hyun continued to wave his hand at Kang-hoo and walked away.

Will I ever see her again?

It doesn’t seem like it will happen now, but Kang-hoo also waved with an awkward expression just in case.

Since he is Lee Hyun-seok’s nephew, we may see him often. I’m not a hunter with no skills at all.

at that time.

When the two of them were alone together, Lee Hyun-seok bowed politely towards Kang-hoo and said hello.

“thank you. “You saved my nephew from the liberation zone.”

“I received a request from Jeon Se-hyuk. “I don’t know if it was something I could take privately.”

“I trust Sehyuk’s keen eye, so I trust whoever he entrusts to me.”

“Anyway, it looks like something happened on the way.”

Kang-hu saw Lee Hyun-seok’s military uniform covered in blood.

When I saw it from a distance, I thought it might have been dyed red in the military uniform itself, so I just passed by.

When I looked closely, it was not dyed, but a trace of fresh blood. There was a bloody smell that did not go away.

“Oh, you mean this? “I’ve just finished dealing with a traitor inside.”

Ganghu’s eyes sparkled.

Has Moon Yoo-seok been dealt with?

Since I once sent an email to his secure email address, there is no causal relationship at all.

However, it didn’t seem like a good picture to ask him outright if he killed Moon Yoo-seok.

It didn’t seem like a picture to show off by revealing that you were the person who sent the email.

Anyway, just by rescuing Min Soo-hyun, there was already enough room for condescension.

But unexpectedly, Lee Hyun-seok answered the question.

“An anonymous tip came in. There was a traitor very nearby. “It was dark under the lamp.”

“It’s like getting stabbed in the foot by an axe you believe in.”

Ganghu smiled to himself as he answered slyly. The plan seems to have succeeded. Moon Yoo-seok died.

If there are no major issues, Lee Hyun-seok will not die in vain within a month or so.

Then, the path of Jang Si-hwan, who walked a solid path in the original work, may be greatly different now.

Lee Hyun-seok is and will continue to block the path of Jang Si-hwan and Jeonghwa Guild.

If he draws ‘aggro’ in various directions, the range of maneuver for the strongman will be much wider.

In addition, it will have the effect of dispersing some of the attention that may be focused on you.

That’s why Lee Hyun-seok is a person of great strategic value. He actually had great skills.

“First of all, thank you so much for saving Soohyun. “I don’t know how to repay this favor.”

“I’m sure you have your own thoughts.”

Ganghu said calmly.

Lee Hyun-seok’s expression of gratitude, bowing his head several times, clearly showed sincerity.

“I found out about the situation later that you moved here from the liberated area?”

“That’s right.”

“Is this the route you had planned before you went to rescue Suhyun?”

“yes.”

“This is truly an incredible ability to move through space. Even Kenji Hosaka, who is famous for spatial movement in Japan, would have difficulty covering this distance.”

It was just as Lee Hyun-seok said.

Kenji Hosaka.

A Japanese magic hunter who specializes in space movement.

He has various spatial movement and position switching skills.

Among them, the longest-distance skill was to move within a 10km radius.

Based on that alone, Kenji Hosaka was considered an expert and authority in the space movement field.

However, Ganghu jumped over an incomparable distance in one go.

Of course, there is a limit of once a day.

“Well, each person has a specialized field.”

“But looking at the way you are armed, I think you are an assassin. That’s really interesting. “Interesting…”

Because Lee Hyun-seok had experienced all kinds of hardships, he was able to tell right away what type of hunter Kang-hoo was from the first time they met.

He is an assassin.

It is also a skill that has been so sharply refined that it can kill you with just a passing glance.

Lee Hyun-seok felt that Kang-hoo was very cold, but at the same time, he felt a refined life.

At this moment, he is not letting down his guard and is poised to switch offense and defense at any time.

It was clearly visible to Lee Hyun-seok’s eyes. Ganghu’s readiness, always with battle in mind.

Hyunseok Lee continued.

“You keep missing the most important thing. Now, let’s talk about how to express our gratitude.”

Kang-hoo had been thinking about what to say to Lee Hyun-seok from the beginning.

The bounty, that is, the amount set as compensation for Min Soo-hyun’s rescue, was 5 billion won. It’s quite a bit of money.

However, Kang-hu was not interested in money this time. I wanted to get the person named Lee Hyun-seok himself.

I know Lee Hyun-seok’s personality.

He is a person who knows how to repay favors several times more, and only then can his character be satisfied.

You can take advantage of this to secure a share, but it is a one-time thing. It ends once.

But what if the value of money is replaced by relationships between people? It has a completely different meaning.

“I like to think a little more simply.”

“Simple means the amount of money, right?”

Hyunseok Lee nodded.

Wasn’t this a request that involved money in the first place? Kang-hoo’s reaction was within the expected range.

He is the one who saved the life of his only nephew and only blood relative. No matter how much money I had, I didn’t regret it.

However, contrary to Lee Hyun-seok’s expectations, Kang-hoo shook his head and answered in a calm voice.

“Just give me time to have a cup of tea later. “I’m satisfied with just one tea time.”

“yes?”

“I’m saying I don’t need money.”

Kang-hu’s answer is that he will pay for his life in something other than money.

Lee Hyun-seok’s eyes took on a different look in his unreadable thoughts.
