Episode 106 Master K (2)
* * *
In the car on the way to Ground Zero.
As we moved away from Seoul, the surrounding scenery changed rapidly.
Unlike the bright and vibrant scenery of Seoul, which is neat, clean, and gives a safe feeling.
The streets were gloomy, with broken streetlights, damaged asphalt, and abandoned cars.
Of course, people live in places like this. Seoul’s murderous prices are so high that even the middle class can’t afford them.
It would be too greedy to wish for every space in the world to be filled with light and happiness.
From the beginning, the original ‘The Villain Who Became a Savior’s Life Guide’ was depicted as a world that was thoroughly close to dystopia.
Since Kang-hoo knew it better than anyone else, he didn’t have any unrealistic expectations.
one side.
Jeong Yu-ri, who had been waiting in hopes that Kang-hoo would speak first, pouted her lips.
Conversations with Kang-hoo were always like having to throw out a topic.
Just like last time, only talk to him first if you have something to say, otherwise, there is no separate statue.
With the expressionless face added, sometimes you might mistake it for a mannequin or a wax doll.
When I watched Kang-hoo from the side, I felt like I was seeing a man with many thoughts and sad stories.
I can feel the loneliness of someone carrying a heavy burden all by themselves through their tightly shut mouth.
She could instinctively sense his complex emotional line hidden behind the silence. There was something about him.
That’s why I keep wanting to talk to Kang-hoo, who has absolutely no talent for conversation.
“Mr. Jeong Seon-gyu?”
“huh.”
“You’ve been looking out the window all this time. Are you having a hard time?”
“No, not really.”
“Brother. You said you also applied for the Hell of Judgement mercenary recruitment this time, right?”
“Yeah. I submitted it for document review.”
“I’m going to go too! It’s a unique opportunity for growth, and I think I’ll use this opportunity to expand my network.”
Kang-hoo tilted his head.
Since this is a strategy hosted by the Purification Guild, there is a possibility that she will meet Chaegwanhyung.
Is it okay if he causes her great trauma and is, in a way, her life’s enemy?
As if reading Kang-hoo’s thoughts, Jeong Yu-ri continued speaking.
“It’s okay! I don’t think I’d feel any discomfort even if I saw Chae Gwan-hyung in person. I’ve done a lot of mind control and learned how to hide my emotions.”
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
“Yeah. Rather than the difficult memories of the past, I have a stronger will to move forward into a bright future! It’s all thanks to you, oppa.”
“The conclusion is somewhat.”
“Really? I’m not good at talking nonsense, am I?”
“I don’t plan on moving as a team. That’s how I applied.”
“Yeah, it’s your choice. I’m not asking you to go with me! I was interested in participating, that’s what I’m saying.”
“Prepare well.”
“That’s right! Oh, of course… … . I haven’t forgotten that. I will definitely get revenge. Until then, I will just have to endure and wait.”
Her last words revealed the pain that had been buried in fragments of her memories for a while. She must have endured it with all her might.
Anyway, with Jeong Yu-ri’s answer full of firm determination, the limousine fell into silence again.
The atmosphere inside the car was just as perfect as the damp-looking sky.
Jeong Yu-ri took out her wireless earphones, put them in her ears, and started listening to music.
It was classical music that soothed her and kept her from feeling lonely when she was alone at Ground Zero.
Kang-hoo turned his gaze out the window again.
At the thought of meeting Master K in person, Kang-hoo, who rarely gets nervous, became tense.
There were many indirect references to K in the original work.
However, he did not appear directly as the core of the story. This is because he had never met the main character, Jang Si-hwan.
‘I don’t want the answer. I just want to know the way. That would be great.’
I hope that the vagueness about congenital hypersensitivity to mana has been cleared up a bit.
Even now, the side effects and pain can be tolerated to some extent, but the fundamental problem has not been solved.
“Brother. Don’t be so nervous. Grandpa thinks highly of you. I told him about it.”
“okay.”
Even though I wasn’t going to meet the craftsman, Jeong Yu-ri’s words sounded strange for some reason.
Anyway, it seems like he was that nervous.
Kang-hoo took a deep breath and calmed down his excited emotions. This was not a meeting where he should feel intimidated.
* * *
After reaching Ground Zero, we went quite a bit deeper before finally reaching K’s area.
The official name is ‘Yuri Land’.
There is a story behind the name; it is said that K named it to commemorate his adoption of Jeong Yu-ri.
It may seem like a childish name at first, but it warms your heart when you hear the story.
The range was so wide that it was impossible to tell where K’s area began and ended.
K supplies many stimulants and healing agents to the Hunter Police Department and the Purification Guild.
In fact, it is understandable that the cultivation area is so wide because it is close to a monopoly and is supplied on a large scale.
Even just looking around, it seemed like there were over 100 workers working inside.
In addition, there were guards hired separately to ensure their safety.

Get off in front of the main entrance.
A man with an expression as dry as Kang-hoo walked over and greeted me.
First, he bowed politely to Jeong Yu-ri and greeted her, and she greeted him warmly.
“Hyungseo! Long time no see?”
“Welcome, miss.”
“We’re the same age, so just call me Yuri!”
“You are a precious person to my master, and I cannot accept your words. It is difficult for me to comply with such a request.”
“Anyway, we’re here! This is Seon-gyu oppa! He’s the guest who will be meeting Grandpa today!”
“I see. Nice to meet you. My name is Moon Hyeong-seo.”
Kang-hoo lightly accepted Moon-hyung-seo’s greeting. He did not ask for a handshake.
Moon Hyung-seo.
It’s an unfamiliar name to Kang-hoo.
By the looks of it, he seemed to be a confidant who was unconditionally loyal to K. There must be a reason for this.
“Hyungseo is a friend that my grandfather and I trust more than ourselves. You don’t have to be so cautious, oppa.”
Thanks to Jeong Yu-ri’s explanation, I was able to quickly understand the characteristics of the sentence structure.
Probably no one except K, his wife, and Jung Yu-ri would look at her with kind eyes.
Usually, these single-minded confidants are suspicious of everyone in the world and see them as potential enemies.
Moreover, Kang-hu, who came as a guest, could not be an exception.
As expected, Moon Hyung-seo pointed the detector he had brought at Kang-hu.
“There are security procedures. We will take a separate photo, and all weapons must be left behind.”
“As much as you want.”
Kang-hoo nodded.
I wanted to applaud K for doing a good job of checking up on outsiders so thoroughly.
Lax management creates loopholes, which become variables.
What if K is kidnapped abroad or falls into the hands of a criminal organization?
From then on, the domestic herbal medicine supply landscape will change. Ground Zero will also become a no man’s land.
Progress was made in an instant.
The photo shoot was also finished right away by the camera installed at the entrance, and Kang-hoo temporarily handed over the weapon he was holding.
There was no news the whole time I was searching, so I thought things would just pass quietly.
In the middle of the conversation, Moon Hyung-seo glanced at Kang-hu and added what he had not been able to say earlier.
“I’m telling you this out of concern, but please don’t be rude to Master K, even in the slightest. Do you understand?”
“I think it’s up to Master K to decide whether it’s rude or not. You really are an ‘old lady’.”
Kang-hoo smiled and accepted the warning that seemed to have crossed the line.
Originally, the field of vision of such a single-minded confidant was narrow, so he himself often committed rude acts.
Of course, I don’t know. That’s why it often becomes a problem. It can even escalate into a fight.
“I’m telling you to be careful.”
“I’ll give you that back exactly as it is.”
He took it without backing down.
Jung Yu-ri suddenly read the mood that was turning tense.
Crack!
She quickly slapped Moon Hyung-seo on the back. It was her wit to somehow defuse the situation.
“Hyungseo, stop repeating the instructions like a robot and go quickly. I’ll take care of it myself!”
“Okay, miss.”
Kang-hoo scanned Moon-hyung-seo’s constellation information while looking at his back.
There are five contract constellations.
At this level, no matter how low you set the level, it’s still 400.
Moreover, seeing that he had made a contract with the constellation called ‘Champion of the Holy Spear’, he seemed to be from the world of spearmanship.
Perhaps it is because of talent that a constellation specialized for a specific profession was given to them.
However, since he didn’t bring a weapon when we met today, I couldn’t gauge it accurately.
“I’m sorry, Oppa. It’s just that Hyungseo is always overly cautious and cautious.”
“There’s no need to apologize. We’re just doing our part. I said what I had to say.”
“Thank you for thinking so.”
“As long as you don’t cross the line, it’s something you can just listen to with one ear and let it go. Don’t worry about it.”
I was sincere.
Moon Hyung-seo’s words made me feel slightly uncomfortable, but I didn’t take it to heart.
However, it feels very strange.
Moon Hyung-seo thought that the sudden reaction he had shown to her might have been ‘jealousy’.
That could be the case.
If Moon Hyung-seo has feelings for Jeong Yu-ri, it would be understandable for her to be concerned about the first man she came with.
‘Anyway, the character is solid.’
Kang-hoo chuckled again as he thought of Moon-hyung-seo. He was quite a character, so he probably would remember him often.

The meeting with K took place immediately.
We were able to meet in a separate reception room on the first floor of a building that appeared to be his research building.
“grandfather……!”
“Our granddaughter! How much trouble did you have to endure to get here?”
“Thank you for your hard work! My grandmother prepared a limousine for me, so I was able to ride comfortably with my brother.”
“For some reason, money suddenly started to disappear from my account this morning… … .”
“Huh? Didn’t you pay with grandma’s money?”
“Where is my money? It’s your grandmother’s money.”
“Phew! Grandpa got hit, got hit!”
“Yes. This guy is the young man named Jeong Seon-gyu, right?”
“Yes! It’s Seon-gyu oppa! Oppa, grandpa! People usually call me Master K!”
“Nice to meet you. I’m Jeong Seon-gyu.”
Kang-hoo greeted K politely.
His personal information is kept under wraps, making it impossible to gauge his level.
There was no mention of his level either. When I searched the news, all I found were speculative articles.
Looking at his constellation information, there are more than 10.
At this point, the minimum is over 500. And that’s just conservative estimates, it’s probably much higher.
“… … .”
“… … .”
There was a moment of silence between them.
Although he didn’t say anything, Kang-hoo felt the pressure of high waves crashing down on him from K’s gaze.
How would you feel if you encountered someone who was specialized in intuition, insight, and even had a little bit of magic thrown in?
Yeah, that’s how I feel when I meet someone with a strong spiritual feeling.
A person who cannot be described in words, and therefore feels more mysterious.
And that thought.
‘Interesting friend.’
K, who was locking eyes with Kang-hoo, was doing the same.
