The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All Chapter 69

Episode 69 Encounter with Kang Dong-hyun (2)

* * *

Han Seo-yeon safely(?) changed into her pajamas and headed to her room thanks to the pleasantly broken atmosphere.

It seemed like he wanted to bring something. Kang-hoo was sitting in the living room, smelling the faint scent of coffee.

In fact, if you wanted to be true to your instincts, you could be as true as you want.

Emotions may be dry and dull, but desires are clear and full.

s*xual desire? Of course I have it.

In order to survive and survive in this crazy world, I also needed to release my s*xual desires.

But I didn’t want to use her mind simply to satisfy my desires.

Unlike other people, it wasn’t easy for Han Seo-yeon to treat business lightly.

It would be a pure heart that was naturally added to the original Shin Kang-hoo while possessing him.

No matter how many times I tried to erase it, it was like a stamp of emotion that was so deeply embedded that it could never be erased.

Not long after, Han Seo-yeon came over with a fairly thick bundle of paper, saying, “I found it.”

“Brother, look at this.”

“What is it?”

“I know. What kind of illness does my brother suffer from?”

“yes.”

Han Seo-yeon is the only person who knows about Kang-hoo’s congenital hypersensitivity to mana.

This is because it is a disease that Kang-hoo has suffered from since the moment he awakened his abilities as a hunter.

There was a time when they were passionately in love with each other, so it was not strange that she knew about his illness.

“I have been looking for someone consistently for a long time, and recently I have been looking for someone who can treat illnesses in a more comprehensive way.”

“It won’t happen. It’s incurable.”

I told her with certainty, but it wasn’t like I had no expectations at all.

However, as the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment, so I tended to consciously underestimate the positive possibilities.

“After awakening in Romania, there is someone who has been intensively investigating the Hunter who developed a rare disease.”

“Romania?”

“There’s a researcher named Mihai Bancu. He’s also a hunter, and he also suffered from potion overreactions.”

“Potion overreaction… … .”

It is not a common incurable disease.

But the feeling was not unfamiliar to Kang-hoo, because it was a disease he had thought about at least once.

Kang-hoo had something to say, so he asked her straight away.

“Will drinking the potion cause an allergic reaction?”

“Yes, that’s right. That’s why he’s someone who absolutely cannot drink stamina and magic potions. He says he has an adverse reaction to even the smell.”

“Interesting.”

Contrary to his dry expression of interest, Kang-hoo was secretly surprised that the symptoms were exactly the same as what he had imagined in the past.

This is also an embodiment of the unconscious. It is a form of reality that we often encounter these days.

“There are not only research studies on cases of epidermal hyperplasia and congenital anesthesia, but also cases that have been resolved.”

“Did you get treatment?”

“That’s right. That was a month ago. It wasn’t that long ago. This is a translation of the interview.”

Looking at the data handed over to Han Seo-yeon, there were indeed cases of incurable diseases being cured.

It was not a third-rate media outlet’s flyer, but a quality article written with care by an accredited hunter media outlet.

“It really was cured. The follow-up article also said that there were no relapses or remaining traces.”

“That’s right! I really wish you would visit this person. He must have had a hard time. It’s ongoing.”

“hmm…….”

It seemed like Master Cayman was the only solution, but it seemed necessary to look overseas as well.

But there was also a need for caution.

Because congenital hypersensitivity should not go away. You should be able to just pick out the pain with tweezers.

If the congenital hypersensitivity itself disappears, one’s greatest strength will disappear along with it.

“Thank you, Seoyeon. You didn’t have to worry about me like this, but thank you for your hard work.”

“What was the hardship? I just happened to find out by luck.”

“There is too much accumulated data to say that.”

Kang-hoo knew very well that Han Seo-yeon was completely lying.

Given her personality, she would have been constantly looking for him. She may have even gone as far as to personally look for him.

That’s the kind of person she was. Dedicated, and someone who cared about others more than herself.

Kang-hoo added.

“I want to pay for this material in some way. I hope you don’t refuse.”

“Huh. Okay. I have plenty of money too.”

Han Seo-yeon answered with a smile.

It’s not an empty promise.

She is also a talented hunter, and she must have received a large signing bonus when she was recruited to the Purification Guild.

“But I don’t want anything for free.”

“Then just give me one thing I want. Then I’ll be happy to receive it, and you’ll feel at ease because it’s not free.”

“what?”

“Just today. Just spend one day with me. Like before. Just once.”

“… … .”

Seeing her reddened eyes before she could even finish speaking, Kang-hoo also became thoughtful.

You can’t go back to the feelings of the past, but you can recall and relive the memories of that time.

If that’s what Han Seo-yeon wants in return, I can definitely give it to her.

I say this with sincerity, not in an act. Because the memories of those passionate times still remain.

“okay.”

Kang-hoo gave a short speech.

There was no need to exchange long words. We knew each other so well that just a glance was enough.

Before we knew it, the sun was setting in the western sky.

The night that will soon come.

It seemed like it would be the longest night since I opened my eyes in this world, but at the same time, it would be the least lonely night.

Just for a little while.

I thought that I could throw away the excessively controlling shackles of reason and be faithful to my emotions and instincts.

The thought that suppressing all emotions might not be the only answer was quietly ripening.

So the time between the two of them flowed deeply, passionately, and quickly like the tide.

* * *

The next evening.

Kang-hoo had arrived at a point about 500 meters in front of Club Hades.

It was so prosperous that it made you wonder if it was really the place where there had been large-scale bloodshed and kidnappings in the past.

The evidence of this was the customers who started to flock here even before the sun set.

Young souls were arriving in groups of three or four to enjoy the pleasures and entertainment of Friday night to their heart’s content.

Of course, I thought that the majority of guests would be Eclipse members or ordinary people.

Even though Eclipse is a criminal organization, they don’t mess with ordinary people.

To be exact, it was closer to being ignored because it had no marketability.

They mainly kidnap hunters who know how to handle mana and send them to a concentration camp to mine magic stones.

In other words, they needed workers who knew how to use mana, not ordinary people who only made food.

‘The only thing that’s bothering me is that the internal structure may have changed.’

It could not be ruled out that the internal structure may have changed since there was a battle the previous time.

The location of the stairs may not have changed, but the path you take may be different than before.

For now, the most appropriate way is to sneak in without making any noise while in hiding.

However, Kang-hoo’s calculations are about to get a little complicated as he cannot maintain his hiding for too long.

“What are you doing here?”

“… … ?”

Suddenly, someone tapped Kang-hoo on the shoulder from the side.

The only person I know at Daejeon Station is Han Seo-yeon, so who on earth would recognize me?

I turned my head.

Then, a woman wearing a tight-fitting one-piece dress that matched the unconventional atmosphere of Hades appeared.

Everything about her makeup was different from usual, so I couldn’t recognize her right away, but upon closer inspection, I realized that she was Yoon Sang-mi.

“Why are you here?”

“I have a question for you. Why are you here, oppa? And is that all you have to wear?”

“Are you here to play?”

“Of course I came to have fun! I don’t think someone like you would like a club. Did you come to fight?”

It was a question typical of Yoon Sang-mi.

That’s right.

There’s no way Kang-hoo would come to the club to shake his body. In fact, Kang-hoo was a very physical person.

As an assassin, his movements are graceful and flashy, but as a dancer, he is a stiff piece of wood.

I explained the whole story to her.

Even if she knew everything, it was a dungeon she couldn’t enter.

On the one hand, he knew that Yoon Sang-mi’s heart was a million times more favorable to him than Eclipse.

After hearing the story, Yoon Sang-mi made an interesting expression. It seemed like it was the first time she had heard the news.

“Can I help you?”

“I didn’t say this because I needed help.”

“Anyway, I have to go to the 7th basement floor, which is not open to the public. It’ll be difficult to do it alone, right?”

“It doesn’t matter whether you go alone or with someone else. If you’re trying to solve it by force, it’s better to be alone.”

“Of course, if you try to break through it with force, that would be like that. But I think that’s underestimating me too much.”

“Then isn’t there a simpler way?”

“How about a concept of lovers who are deeply in love today?”

“Explain it simply.”

“This is a club. It’s not strange for men and women to move from the basement level to a secret space.”

Even though he didn’t enjoy going to clubs, Kang-hoo knew well how the emotions of young men and women intensified there.

Yoon Sang-mi’s words sounded plausible.

“Why bother? Even if I go in, I’m the only one who can enter. There’s no benefit for you.”

“You’re just trying to make me owe you some money. You hate that feeling of debt.”

“You’re deliberately creating debt. Hehe.”

It made me laugh.

This is because Yoon Sang-mi also thought of Kang-hoo with similar intentions as he did toward Lee Hyeon-seok the day before.

As expected, the human mind is a place where everything goes round and round.

In order to create a bond of fate, making the other person feel indebted to you is definitely an effective method.

“Help me, please?”

Yoon Sang-mi raised her voice.

It’s a bit easier to approach her if she’s in sync.

If you can get all the way down to the 6th floor underground, you will also have to invest less time in hiding and hiding your presence.

Besides, Kang-hoo’s face had not yet been sold throughout Eclipse.

As Kang Dong-hyun kept Cha So-hee’s death a secret, only a very small number of people know Kang Hu’s personal information.

If today is your chance, then it is your chance.

“Help me. I’ll be happy to owe you something.”

Kang-hoo asked Yoon Sang-mi for help.

When I thought about it this way, it seemed like my connection with her was one that could end but never end.

I met her again and we had another opportunity to work together in Hades.

Unlike in the past, this is a more intense concept.

* * *

After entering Club Hades.

Enough time has passed.

When Kang-hoo and Yoon Sang-mi act as a man and woman who have feelings for each other in order to get a chance to go to the 7th basement floor.

Kang-hoo could see an unexpected person appearing in his surroundings as he glanced around.

It was Kang Dong-hyun.

“Everyone, you’ve all worked hard.”

Although we were not that far apart, fortunately, we did not make eye contact with Kang Dong-hyun.

He appeared at a time too exquisite to be a coincidence.

Phew.

Kang Dong-hyun looked around, blowing out a puff of smoke from the beginning of the year.

At that moment.

“Excuse me.”

Kang-hoo used Yoon Sang-mi, who was facing him, as a shield and kissed her on the lips.

Kang Dong-hyun’s gaze passed over the back of Yoon Sang-mi’s head just in time.

The sight of intense skinship and seduction between men and women is common, if not natural, in clubs.

Kang Dong-hyun glanced around casually and headed off somewhere.

It was a close call.
