The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All Chapter 126

Episode 126 Jin Hyo-young (1)

Since then, I have been able to understand the current flow of pharmaceutical companies to some extent through Lee Ye-rin.

It was clear that the calm before the storm was near.

Looking at Lee Ye-rin, it felt like the current shortage of mercenaries was a huge problem.

It can’t be helped.

Considering that one of her main sources of income is connecting clients and mercenaries.

The decrease in the number of mercenaries available to match you with is bound to be a problem that will cut deep into your bones.

‘But in the original, the White War had almost no weight. There wasn’t much to care about.’

If we go back in time.

The original White War was just a slightly noisy issue for the main character, Jang Si-hwan.

First of all, there were no problems at all in Seoul, which was the main area of activity.

This is because from around this time on, he focused on overseas activities after concluding his conquest of Hell of Judgement.

It was a journey to grow to a higher place, and at that time, the domestic stage was too small for Jang Si-hwan.

‘This is reality to me. Is this the difference in how each person sees the world based on their circumstances?’

Kang-hoo nodded.

On the one hand, I thought that too.

What if you were possessed by someone other than Shin Kang-hoo, like Chae Gwan-hyung or Casey Rex?

How would my perspective on the world have changed then? I couldn’t quite imagine it.

If he had been possessed by Chae Gwan-hyung, would he have killed his friend Jang Si-hwan and taken his place as the traitor ending?

If it was Casey Rex, would he have led the Fortuna Guild in the US and attacked the Purification Guild in Korea first?

Although there is no if, the more I thought about it, the more interesting it became.

Anyway, the reality is that it is Shin Kang-hoo.

An ill-fated genius assassin who was the protagonist’s arch-enemy in the original work, but ultimately had to meet his end.

That fate must be twisted.

“Mr. Seon-gyu?”

“yes.”

“What’s wrong?”

“No. I’m just trying to gather my thoughts for a moment.”

When Kang-hoo remained silent for a while, his gaze fixed elsewhere, Lee Ye-rin called his attention to him.

She continued speaking.

“What kind of request would you like to receive?”

“First of all, I will decline any group requests that require teamwork. Please don’t even make suggestions.”

“So you want blind position?”

Blind position.

What this means is that the full-scale war that is waged on behalf of the pharmaceutical company is carried out by other mercenaries.

It means that in it, you are given the task of moving alone as a single person.

For example, by taking advantage of the mercenaries fighting, you can infiltrate the pharmaceutical company through lax security.

It’s like using combat.

Of course, not caring about anyone means not receiving any protection.

I had to take responsibility for and resolve all the processes and risks from beginning to end.

“you’re right.”

“If that happens, it’s likely to be a high risk, high return position. It’s also a position with a high mortality rate.”

“I’ve always lived like that, so it’s nothing new.”

“Okay. So can we get started right now?”

“Wait a minute. Shall we take a short break and talk?”

“Yes. I was just in desperate need of a cup of coffee. Is there anything you’d like to drink? I’ll get it ready.”

“One can of coffee.”

“Good choice. See you in 10 minutes.”

There was a brief pause in the conversation with Lee Ye-rin. As soon as she left, Kang-hoo called.

The recipient was Ahn Young-ho.

The signal hadn’t even passed twice when Ahn Young-ho quickly picked up the phone. It was as if he had been waiting for it.

– Ah, hyung! Seon-gyu hyung! This is finally the first time I’ve called you! Right? Nice to meet you, hyung!

“How have you been?”

– Of course, brother! Are you coming to Japan now?

“I called to ask anyway. If I move tomorrow, would it be possible?”

– Oh! Tomorrow?

“You can answer freely. I’m the one who didn’t tell you in advance.”

– I think you should give it three days. Right now, the Ricou Guild is in the middle of an all-out war… … .

“I understand that you and the Toushi Guild recently signed a peace treaty?”

– That was a disguise.

“They’re punks.”

– If you give me three days, I’ll figure out how to set up the place. I can definitely do it.

“No, that’s fine. Once the guild situation is somewhat sorted out, we can talk again then.”

– It’s really okay, bro!

“I don’t want to go into a dungeon while worrying about the back of my head.”

– ah…….

“If you have time, let me know. Always be careful.”

– I’m sorry, bro.

“I’m sorry. But I’m ready to go to Japan now, so let me know when it’s set.”

– All right!

That’s how the call with Ahn Young-ho ended.

If there are no other issues, I plan to stick to dark age farming in Japan rather than taking on mercenary requests.

It didn’t seem like a good time to do that now.

The relationship between the Ricou Guild and the Toushi Guild is similar to that between the Purification Guild and the Warlord Abyss in domestic terms.

They are practically enemies.

The Purification Guild and the Abyss have not yet engaged in an all-out war.

But Japan already seemed to be bleeding heavily. The situation did not look very good.

After hanging up the phone, Kang-hoo called Park Dong-jae this time.

Unlike Ahn Young-ho, Park Dong-jae received the call after a long time had passed. His voice was as if he was very sleepy.

– Seo, Seo, Seon-gyu… … . Ugh.

“I guess you were sleeping.”

– Yes, I came back from the dungeon at dawn. It’s been a while since I ran, so my body can’t handle it.

“Let me just keep it brief.”

– Wait. Just a moment. I’ll open my eyes and answer the phone. I don’t want to answer while I’m sleeping.

A brief wait.

Only after a few clear coughs were heard did Park Dong-jae’s raspy voice become clearer.

– Call, I was waiting.

“I’m planning on going to the dungeon that Sehyuk gave me this time. I thought it would be a good idea to try out some coordination.”

– How many members will you be attacking? Three? Four?

Park Dong-jae, who didn’t realize Kang-hoo’s intentions, made a mistake. In fact, it’s a natural thought.

“two.”

– Oh? Oh! Just me and Seon-gyu?

“Yes. Since it’s not a dungeon with a melee concept anyway, I think it’s possible for two people to do it.”

– Okay. Let’s go! The dungeon is currently just waiting, right?

“Tomorrow evening. How about that?”

– That’s perfect. I think I need to get some rest today, and I have some work to do tomorrow morning regarding the Black Network.

“Then let’s meet in front of the Gyeongju Dungeon at 6 PM tomorrow. Do you know the location?”

– Of course. I’ll see you on time. Thank you!

“Okay. See you tomorrow.”

The tuning is complete.

Japan will have to be postponed until later, but a schedule has been set to go to the buff dungeon with Park Dong-jae.

Since there were buff strengthening skills that I really wanted to obtain, I wanted to prioritize them over requests.

‘For now, I’ll put on hold the mercenary request I received from Lee Ye-rin. The price will definitely go up anyway.’

I decided not to rush.

Demand only increased and never decreased, so Kang-hoo had no regrets.

Rather, it is the clients who are anxious and want to hire high-quality personnel who will become anxious.

since.

Kang-hoo informs Lee Ye-rin that he will not accept any requests related to mercenaries for a while.

We had a leisurely tea time and talked widely about the domestic situation.

In this regard, since Lee Ye-rin is a person who shares as much as she knows, her words were quite helpful.

And on the way out as we parted ways.

A new teleportation point has been designated in an empty lot about 1km north of the Cheongan Building.

After Park Dong-jae was rescued, it was a newly designated point. It was the perfect location to visit the Cheong-an Building if necessary.

Only after finishing up like that, Kang-hoo called the person who could fill his time tonight. It was Jin Hyo-young.

* * *

After a while.

Jin Hyo-young, who had finished applying full makeup in the hotel room where she was staying, looked at herself in the mirror with a satisfied expression.

“It’s pretty, I said, really pretty.”

They say women are particularly cold to themselves. Jin Hyo-young had never thought of that.

Jin Hyo-young realized that her outstanding looks were a very powerful weapon when dealing with men.

So, since becoming a hunter, I’ve been actively looking for ways to utilize my looks as much as my abilities.

That was exactly what was happening at Eclipse, seducing targets with a kind of ‘beauty trap’.

It’s called seduction, but in reality, I didn’t care after I seduced her and brought her here. It was Kang Dong-hyun’s business.

Anyway, by receiving recognition from Kang Dong-hyun for this aspect, she was able to rise to a fairly high rank in Eclipse.

In addition, you will receive support to steadily increase your experience points while being less exposed to danger when conquering dungeons.

Furthermore, at least 30% of the items and assets taken from hunters who were brought in through temptation were to be received as compensation for their efforts.

Of course, it wasn’t just her looks that made this task easy.

Jin Hyo-young also had an ability specialized in addiction.

In particular, he excelled at the technique of making monsters and hunters quickly fall into a state of sleep.

So-called sleep addiction.

There is nothing that exposes more fatal weakness than falling asleep in front of the enemy.

Jin Hyo-young had the perfect combination to neutralize someone like this.

She made a phone call.

I already got off the phone with Kang-hoo earlier, and we had plans to go drink together in Seoul.

– Oh, it’s me.

“Dong-Hyeon oppa. The setup is almost done.”

– Shin Kang-hoo, did that guy ask you?

“Are you going to let it go without asking? I’ve been just wondering for nothing. Didn’t you contact me earlier today saying you wanted to see me?”

– Anything suspicious?

“I could sense that you were being cautious from the first time we met. Anyway, my information wouldn’t be exposed.”

– That’s right.

“The level database registered with the Hunter Police Department has also been manipulated. It hasn’t even been modified, right?”

– that’s right.

“Then there’s no way to know anything about me. Even the Purification Guild didn’t know.”

– Is this the same hotel from back then?

“Yes. I’ve already reserved a room. It’s also the room where I’ll be laying Shin Kang-hoo later.”

– The car is already waiting. Put him to sleep and bring him here. I don’t want him to get hurt.

“Don’t worry. Unless you have the ability to count my constellations, you won’t know a single thing about me. Not even the ability.”

The evening moon rising outside the window shone brightly in Jin Hyo-young’s eyes reflected in the mirror.

Kang Dong-hyun on the other end of the phone burst into laughter. It was the kind of laugh you get when something seems to be going well.

– You have to get what you want. Right?

“that’s right.”

– Don’t expect much. Let’s politely invite our skilled hunters.

“Okay, I’ll contact you.”

After hanging up the phone, she looked into the mirror and, as always, muttered again as if reciting a spell.

“I told you it’s really pretty.”

And at 2 a.m. the next day.

Just as the moonlight, which felt more sensual and sweet than usual, began to seep into the window.

Kuung!

The man and woman opened the door and entered the room, and began to mingle as one.

“Haaah.”

“Phew.”

The two people who looked at each other with dreamy eyes let out hot breaths.

Then, without saying who would go first, they started passionately taking off each other’s clothes.

It was the beginning of a concerto, a mixture of a little alcohol, good feelings, and an unavoidable desire.
