The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 99

Episode 99 Proof of Value (6)

161.6 billion won.

It was the balance recorded in Kanghu’s bank account after disposing of all the orange magic stones.

Considering that second-grade items are usually traded at around 100 billion won, the purchase was no problem.

at las.

I was able to make purchasing items that I had been thinking about a reality.

“It’s a shame we’re breaking up, brother.”

“I’ll see you again.”

“You won’t watch it without the dungeon, right?”

“I can’t deny that.”

When it was time to part ways with Kang-hoo, Ban Se-young looked very regretful.

Normally, such feelings would be hidden, but Ban Se-young seemed to have no intention of hiding them from himself.

“I will choose a good dungeon for Sehyuk oppa and bring it back to you.”

“Seyoung, I can hear you.”

“Help me, brother! huh?”

“Stay safe, man!”

“Ho ho ho.”

Kang-hoo also smiled slightly at the jokes between Ban Se-young and Jeon Se-hyuk.

It was really nice to see something like that.

Of course, it wasn’t a look that suited him. I’m not used to jokes.

Anyway, Kang-hoo broke up with Ban Se-young, promising to move on.

And Jeon Se-hyuk was introduced to the VIP Market in Busan.

It was said that it was a special market that could only be entered if you certified that you had more than 50 billion won.

He said it was a kind of balance verification, but it was recommended because there were so many high-quality items.

‘Busan was aware of the VIP market. ‘Because there are many items coming from overseas.’

It was not a new setting as it was a setting that existed in the original work as well.

If you work hard, you will be able to find a useful level 2 weapon. However, the key is whether there is a dagger.

1 hour later.

While waiting for the VIP market to open in the evening, Kanghu entered a nearby hotel.

I contacted Sangmi Yoon.

This is because, for now, Sangmi Yoon was the fastest alternative to finish reaching level 100.

Was he waiting for a phone call?

Before the signal even finished, Sangmi Yoon answered the phone. It was so fast that I thought I might have received it by mistake.

– Huh, brother? I got in touch with you faster than I thought?

“I know. Because I finished my errands earlier than expected. “Is the dungeon raid still valid?”

– What do you mean? Hey Seon-gyu Jeong! I reserved a seat to go with you, but could it be invalid?

“Why are you taking this so seriously?”

– Tsk tsk. You don’t know who took it seriously?

“….”

When I thought about it, it was true that Yoon Sang-mi was joking.

Is it because of worn-out emotions? I guess I couldn’t read the joy and playfulness contained in it.

Because it was an unavoidable characteristic of the human Shin Kang-hu, Kang-hu shook his head as if resigned.

And then I changed the topic.

“I’m going to buy just one item here in Busan and take the KTX straight up. “Where should I go?”

– It’s on the outskirts of Daejeon. I’ll tell you the location when I leave.

For one reason or another, I felt like I was going to Daejeon often these days.

Still, it was close to the metropolitan area and the security was relatively good, so I didn’t hesitate to go there.

If you look at the power map that makes up the Daejeon area, it would not be surprising if it exploded at any time.

Paradoxically, peace in Daejeon was maintained thanks to the tightly established balance of power.

“I’ll contact you around dawn.”

– all right. I need to get some sleep.

“Take care of your condition well.”

– I’ll wait.

“huh.”

The short call ended.

There doesn’t seem to be any problem in clearing the dungeon, so reaching level 100 is certain. It’s just a matter of time.

Then, a text message came from Jeon Se-hyuk.

It was a detailed guide to the location and related matters of the VIP market.

Even though Kanghu already knew this, he studied it again.

Verify a balance of 50 billion won or more. And the VIP market only handles items of level 3 or higher.

In short, it means that it is a place with many leisurely customers. You might meet an unexpected connection.

“Is it around now?”

A memory suddenly came to mind, and Kanghu searched for a keyword on the desktop in his room.

It is ‘Hell of Judgment’.

It was about a large-scale dungeon raid that is expected to be announced soon by the Purification Guild.

As expected, a recruitment article and related video were posted.

The one who prefaced the story was Jang Si-hwan, who gave me a strange feeling every time I saw him.

[Respected and beloved Hunters, hello? Although he is lacking, he is Jang Si-hwan, who is the representative of the Purification Guild.] [The

huge portal discovered at Ground Zero three months ago led us to an unknown world.] [

We decided to call it the Hell of Judgment. . This must be hell, a place where death happens casually.]

At first glance, if you listen to Jang Si-hwan’s words, it seems like he is quite scared of the dungeon.

The reality was different.

It was quite an intentional comment.

They ‘pretend’ to be scared to stimulate the curiosity and desire of hunters who enjoy challenges and adventures.

This is because the Purification Guild needs mercenaries who feel stimulated rather than afraid of danger and will rush forward like moths to fire.

In fact, it is an announcement asking for a bullet canister, but few hunters will understand the essence of it. Maybe not at all.

[This huge and unknown world is not one that our Purification Guild can handle alone.] [We

would like to provide hunters with opportunities to challenge ourselves and grow together by sharing our trials and tribulations.] [

We are waiting. We are recruiting heroes to participate in the Hell of Judgment expedition with our Purification Guild.]

The response was explosive.

It is unclear whether the comments on the video were directed at his work or were sincere, but they were all praise for Jang Si-hwan.

The strange reaction was that it was really great that the Purification Guild was given an opportunity to monopolize.

However, because the public image of the Jeonghwa Guild was so good, there was a part of it that sounded plausible.

“The purpose is clear, but it is still a temptation that cannot be given up. “I don’t want to open my eyes and give up my chance.”

Ganghu’s goal was clear.

Afterwards, in the attack on the Hell of Judgment, Jang Si-hwan experiences another growth through talent.

You will gain two very meaningful opportunities.

In short, it was a splendid stage created by the author to promote the growth of the main character in the original work.

I had no intention of just letting this slide.

Of course, it is assumed that it will be taken away unconditionally.

I couldn’t give up, much less if the person I would benefit from would ultimately become my enemy.

“The interview is the problem.”

Kang Hu frowned.

Mercenaries recruited from outside must undergo an interview process.

In that process, some personal information will naturally be passed on, and all records will remain in the database.

If you stand out in the strategy, there is a very high possibility that the purification guild will take interest.

It will also receive attention from Jang Si-hwan and Chae Gwan-hyung. So there were some parts that worried me.

“Still, go ahead.”

Kanghu began to move the mouse diligently, preparing to enter the mobile application form.

The method was simple.

All you had to do was include a pseudonym, a photo, some career information, and level information. It would be nice to have class information as well.

The rest is up to the people in charge to decide during the interview process.

“If you write too little, you may be disqualified from the document screening, so should I write down the types of skills a little more generously?”

If you hide your hand too much, you may not even be given a chance at all.

It’s a shame that I have to disclose some of the skill information, but it’s not like I’m going to live my whole life without using the skills.

Kanghu started writing down a list of skills that he thought would be okay to reveal.

Most likely, document interviewers will not believe this. You probably think it’s impossible.

That was what Ganghu was aiming for. Then, even if you are just curious, you will be called to the actual interview location.

That time.

Outside of Yoon Sang-mi’s perception, a man was quietly walking behind her.

‘It’s true that he has great strength, but he doesn’t have the agility to match it.’

As Yoon Sang-mi maintained an appropriate distance, it seemed like she didn’t even know she was being followed.

In the meantime, the call ended with someone, and the man instinctively sensed a connection.

The man’s identity was a problem solver.

The deep traces of mana in Yoon Sang-mi clearly matched the traces of mana found in the Liberation Zone of Gimcheon.

I thought that if the relationship was that close, there was a high possibility that the person on the other end of this call was also him.

Then the picture becomes simpler.

Just wait.

I was confident that if I kept Yoon Sang-mi within surveillance distance, the other person would soon show up.

‘Interesting. I want to deal with him quickly. ‘Because he’s the first person to make my heart flutter in a long time.’

The corner of the fixer’s mouth rose awkwardly. In its own way, it was an expression of emotion brought out to the fullest.

I wanted to win a game quickly.

I couldn’t kill him because of Shin Jun-ho’s instructions, but in other words, I didn’t have to kill him.

This means that it doesn’t matter if there is a lot of struggle within it.

“….”

The fixer licked his lips with the tip of his tongue and hid himself in the darkness again.

Yoon Sang-mi still seemed to know nothing.

He specializes in hiding his presence. It would be even weirder if you found out.

That night.

‘You’re picky.’

Kanghu was entering the market after going through the VIP market procedures, which included checking his balance at the entrance and taking a photo of his face.

VIP Market lives up to its reputation by occupying an entire 10-story building.

The name of the person who owns the building and is also in charge of running the VIP market is Kang Bok-hwa.

It’s not a name that sounds like it belongs to today’s generation, but it’s the name of a woman who seems to be middle-aged at best.

It was an unfamiliar name to Kanghu. It was clearly a name that had never been mentioned in the original work.

Anyway, when I went inside, I could see quite a few foreign hunters from the lobby.

Not to mention Japanese and Chinese, I saw quite a few hunters from the US and Germany.

In particular, there were many hunters who appeared to be from the magic world, and the proportion of magic items among the sold items was high.

Overhearing the conversation between customers, it seemed that Kang Bok-hwa had brought a lot of goods from overseas.

‘It’s almost the same concept behind the scenes… who is it?’

I couldn’t guess at all.

If you want to import items from overseas to sell in the VIP market, you don’t need a lot of capital.

Of course, it may not have been purchased for full price, but it may have been brought in through a proxy sale.

In the end, this wasn’t usually expensive because you had to put down 20% of the appraised value as a deposit.

If you want to get a second-grade item and sell it on your behalf, you have to pay a deposit of 20 billion won.

Everyone was dressed up, so there was a luxurious feel wherever you looked.

“….”

Many hunters’ eyes were focused on Kang-hu, who came dressed in rough clothes that did not match his dignity.

To put it positively, it was focused on it, but to put it negatively, it was closer to being ignored.

Of course, Ganghu didn’t care.

Battles can occur here as well, and the current clothes are specialized for battles that can occur at any time.

But right then.

In front, a man was gulping down a glass of champagne, hugging a woman’s waist, and greeting the hunters around him. All hunters facing the man lowered their heads.

I wanted someone.

So, the moment I glanced at his face, his identity was immediately revealed.

‘okay. It would be a pity if a guy like that wasn’t in a place like this.’

3rd place in the purification guild.

It was Shin Tae-seok.
