The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 79

Episode 79: Trip to Yeosu (1)

* * *

Time passed quickly.

To be considerate of himself, Kang-hu refuses to say he will see her in the morning.

I met them right away.

It was because I could feel the heart of a parent who would be trampled upon by their child who must have been left alone and neglected even at this very moment.

Just because Kang-hu was emotionally worn out didn’t mean he couldn’t infer and understand other people’s emotions.

And since sleep wasn’t my top priority, I didn’t even want to sleep.

They are Park Min-seong’s parents and are also the assistant masters of the British Spitfire Guild.

Their names were Garnier and Melissa. Only after learning his name did I remember Kanghu.

Although it was not a very prominent name, it was mentioned a few times in passing in the original work.

Anyway, I guided Garnier and Melissa to where Minseong Park was.

They traveled in a security vehicle that they had prepared themselves, so there were no problems on the way to Ground Zero.

And Park Min-seong’s body was recovered at the scene.

Thanks to the special local environment of Ground Zero, Park Min-seong’s body was almost uncorrupted.

It felt like seeing a body that died a few hours ago. Except for a little pus, the rest was fine.

Garnier and Melissa wiped away tears as they loaded their son into the freezer compartment of the security vehicle.

Seeing the two people shedding tears, Kang-hu was able to understand his parents’ feelings a little bit.

On the other hand, I wondered if I could give that much love to my adopted son, who was not related to me by blood.

I also thought that it was a feeling that was difficult to understand with my practical and very rational emotions.

So, the settlement is over.

By that time, the characteristic musty smell that can only be found at Ground Zero had reached the far end of the road.

Garnier stopped the car he was driving and asked to talk to Kanghu.

There is a lack of courtesy and formality in having a casual conversation in the car.

This was because there were quite a few important things to discuss in a place with a lot of people.

Kanghu wasn’t the type to be picky about the location either, so he got out of the car and went out to the side of the road.

The road heading toward Ground Zero was quiet with little traffic.

It was Garnier who spoke first.

“I really don’t know how to say thank you. “Thanks to you, I was able to bring my child.”

“I offer my condolences. “It hurts so much that I can’t even fathom that sadness.”

“Although I adopted him, he is a child I really raised with my heart. It’s sad, but we have to get over it.”

Garnier wiped away tears.

Melissa couldn’t speak properly because she had been shedding tears endlessly since a while ago.

Kanghu asked.

“You didn’t know that your son came to Korea?”

“The last thing we heard from Minseong was that he was going to meet a hunter friend in Japan. “It was a phone call.”

“Hmm…”

“It was confirmed that I actually stopped by Tokyo. However, the whereabouts of the friend I met are unknown.”

“Do you have any clues?”

“I do not know. The only thing the child talked about about Korea was the Jeonghwa Guild…”

A story about a guild that I didn’t want to hear comes out.

Could it be that the Purification Guild is involved in this as well? Was Park Min-seong such a great person?

Since we don’t know the context, all we can do is guess.

However, his value is not great enough for the Jeonghwa Guild to put effort into promoting Park Min-seong.

However, if you think about who Park Min-seong’s parents are, the story is different.

In fact, England and France were countries that were very opposed to Jang Si-hwan in the original work.

Of course, he was portrayed in the ‘villain’ position.

However, from a different perspective now, it is a force of justice that resisted collaborators until the end.

Anyway, there are too few clues.

Even if you force a connection, you cannot find a reason, so it becomes a meaningless connection.

“If it is okay with you, if you come to England, would you please join our Spitfire Guild as an Observer?”

Garnier probably thought it would be a waste of time, so he changed the topic to another direction.

In any case, Park Min-seong’s death is an issue that parents who have lost a child must find out and investigate.

I didn’t want to place another burden on Kang-hu, who helped me retrieve my son’s body.

Observer.

Although the word is used differently in each country, in Korea the expression ‘invited mercenary’ is usually used.

What this means is that external guests are officially welcomed at the guild level.

However, even if they are not part of a guild, they receive equal treatment and support as guild members.

Because you can enjoy necessary privileges and rights without being tied to the organization.

It was a method often used by guilds when they wanted to invite outside hunters or gain assistance in their power.

In the English-American world, the term “observer” was used to refer to invited mercenaries.

Kanghu answered.

“I would be grateful if you could be so considerate. “I have heard of the reputation of the Spitfire Guild.”

It’s lip service.

Actually, I just remembered it for the first time today, but isn’t it up to the original words?

For Kang-hu, it was a very welcome proposal.

Being the best in your country definitely does not mean you will be the best in the world.

Jang Si-hwan in the original was like that too.

After conquering the entire country, we went overseas, and then started losing like crazy from the start.

Of course, through that opportunity, he became even more awakened and was reborn as a person capable of conquering the world.

In any case, advancing overseas was essential, and for that to happen, it was necessary to lay the groundwork in advance.

In Japan, I created a reliable card called Ahn Young-ho.

Although we need to think carefully, we can also draw a line against China’s Shintu guild through Yu Qinghua.

And now it’s England.

Through Garnier and Melissa, I had the opportunity to join the Spitfire Guild.

The Spitfire Guild is not only one of the top 15 in the UK, but is also a guild that specializes in adventure and remote exploration.

There was a lot to look forward to as it also contained quite a few rare dungeons that were not well known to the outside world.

“This is an observer-only license. Since there is an electronic signature in my name, authentication is done immediately.”

“Can I give it to you like this?”

“Because you are the benefactor who returned my son safely to his bosom. You can use it personally or sell it externally. “It is an expression of gratitude that takes all such cases into consideration.”

Observer license entirely in gold except for electronic portions.

It was a license so beautifully made that just looking at it aroused the desire to own it.

“What is the deadline?”

“It’s indefinite. “You can participate at any time as an observer of our Spitfire Guild for life.”

It was the best reward.

This is because observer licenses are generally issued for a short period of time.

Since it was a form of unilaterally providing preferential treatment to outsiders, there was no need for the guild to maintain it for a long time.

It was like getting an opportunity that money couldn’t buy.

Indefinite means that you can enjoy the benefits from the Spitfire Guild at any time in the future.

Without any separate obligations or responsibilities towards them.

Melissa, who had just wiped away tears, added.

“thank you so much. “I hope you know that we can provide you with any amount of financial compensation.”

“I will give you our security contact information. If you need anything, please let me know. “We will issue you a gold card in the guild’s name.”

Gold Card.

This refers to a payment credit card whose usage limit is reset every month.

It is also a card that can be used at any time within a set amount.

The limit is subject to mutual agreement, but the minimum usually starts at 1 billion won.

In other words, you can spend 1 billion won every month as you please without worrying about others. That’s the minimum.

I thought I had already received sufficient compensation with the observer license.

Still, I didn’t want to turn away something I could enjoy more. I did something worthy of it.

Ganghu smiled and asked back.

“What is your monthly limit?”

* * *

After that.

After collecting the body of their son Park Min-seong, Garnier and Melissa headed straight to England.

It was said that Park Min-seong would be buried in a grave dedicated to the family, which had been prepared for the future.

Unlike when I came to Korea in a hurry, I used their charter plane to return to the UK.

Now Park Min-seong will be able to return to his second hometown with his adoptive parents and rest in peace.

“Good intentions are rewarded, right?”

Kanghu smiled when he saw the observer license and gold card in his hands.

Now you can use the Spitfire Guild’s dungeons and internal infrastructure at any time.

Furthermore, you can now use a credit card with a monthly limit of 2 billion won.

I thought the gold card would be limited to a few years, but Garnier got it right from the start.

It is said to be indefinite as long as Ganghu uses it. They said that as long as you don’t hand it over to an outsider, it will last your whole life.

Perhaps after enjoying a whirlwind feast of rewards, fatigue set in belatedly.

Kang-hu checked into a hotel near Suwon Station and planned to take a good night’s sleep here before going to the Onnuri Guild and requesting a dungeon attack license like last time.

If you can enter the Baltman dungeon again, learning tricks won’t be as difficult as last time.

That night.

Kanghu slept soundly from morning until late at night without waking up once, and went straight to the Onnuri guild.

This time, Han Seung-hyuk, the general manager of the dungeon management team, appeared.

So I wondered if the conversation would go better than expected, but a variable arose.

The attack schedule for the next month is already full.

In addition, Han Seung-hyuk wondered why Kang-hoo, an outsider, kept taking interest in the Baltman Dungeon.

They persistently tried to find out if there were any sweet points or hidden rewards that they were not aware of.

In addition, the unit price of renting a license was doubled, so it was raised to 10 billion won. As if they had no intention of renting it in the first place.

Thanks to this, the negotiations broke down before they even started.

Kang-hoo didn’t necessarily have to focus on Han Seung-hyuk because he couldn’t just do the Baltic Dungeon.

So Ganghu’s new destination was Yeosu.

Jagang, the warlord of Yeosu.

This is because among the dungeons they owned, there was a dungeon where the skill book trick was possible, like the Baltman dungeon.

Although only the name was different, in fact, the internal structure and form of the dungeon were more than 95% the same as the Baltic Dungeon.

Kim Ja-ho, the leader of the warlord Jagang, was of Chinese descent, and many of his hunters were also Chinese.

Perhaps that’s why, when we entered their base area, it had a Chinatown-like atmosphere.

just as expected.

“hey! Outsiders must walk in with both feet from here! “Don’t think about driving comfortably.”

I was forced to get out of the car before I could even enter the entrance to their management area.

It seemed unpleasant to see an outsider driving around comfortably.
