The Genius Assassin Who Does It All Himself

Requester (1)

* * *

Around the time when all the surrounding scenery started to flow like ink on water.

Kang Hu, who arrived at Han Seo-yeon’s officetel, was able to put all his burdens down and rest for the first time.

Not because he trusted her like a fool, but because she was a fool to himself.

Even though they say they were affectionate until the breakup, it’s just a past relationship that eventually became strangers.

Han Seo-yeon always had herself in her heart.

Even after we broke up, I couldn’t forget myself.

So I trusted her.

Even if others betray her, she won’t be able to because of her remaining lingering feelings.

Han Seo-yeon was also a hunter.

His level was 150, and compared to Ganghu, he was a powerful person in a far higher world.

Because Ganghu had seen information about Han Seo-yeon’s constellation from the moment they met.

As a Hunter, he judged her as a skilled person who was far ahead of him.

“…”

Han Seo-yeon looked at Kang-hoo with a sad expression.

It was much better than when I first brought her to the officetel, but her face was still pale.

“What the hell happened? Have you ever been kidnapped?”

She let out a deep sigh with an upset expression on her face.

I didn’t ask Kang Hu, but I was talking to myself…

“I was kidnapped by Eclipse.”

Kang Hu immediately replied.

It’s been a while since I woke up from a deep sleep.

I just closed my eyes and rested.

This alone made me feel like my body was recovering quickly.

“Brother, didn’t you sleep?”

“no. I slept well thanks to you.”

Kang Hu shook his head.

Perhaps because time has passed, Han Seo-yeon’s appearance has also changed.

Not only did she become more muscular and bronzed than before, but her long black hair that reached her waist was also shortened.

The last time we spoke on the phone, she was just a beginner in the world of hunters.

Now, it seems to be seeing a long-time hunter who has gone through all the pre-natal battles and is steamed up.

“If it’s Eclipse… Were you taken to the magic stone mine? Those guys are famous for kidnapping hunters.”

“Mana is essential to mining magic stones, so a low-level hunter like me must have been a good prey.”

“How hard it must have been, oppa… Sorry. If I had been in regular contact, none of this would have happened.”

Tears seemed to pour from Han Seo-yeon’s eyes at any moment.

Before her feelings deepened, Kang Hu returned cold and cold words.

“You don’t have to apologize for my fate. Just like I don’t say anything about your fate.”

“but.”

“Do what you put your mind to. This will be my first and last time losing. Let’s count it as an exchange.”

“Inwardly, it’s not… His outwardly cold personality hasn’t changed. Oppa, everything is Tina.”

“Now there will be nothing good about being involved with me. You can track it in Eclipse.”

“Brother, I am also a Hunter. Level 150. It’s reached a level where most kids can’t touch it.”

“okay. That power can be used for your sake. You don’t even have to worry about me.”

“…”

Instead of answering, Han Seo-yeon nodded in silence.

A closed heart is hard to open.

Knowing that kind of personality well, I didn’t insist anymore.

Instead, he held out the things he had prepared to Kanghu and continued talking.

“New clothes to change into. And it’s a smart phone that has been cleaned. You won’t be able to track it for too long.”

“It seems that the affiliated guild is dipping its toes into the gray border moderately.”

“huh. and 1 million won. I thought my brother would reject it if I added more here, so I took only the amount I needed.”

“okay.”

“And I also prepared some simple materials. If you are not planning to go to Seoul right away, you might want to look at this material.”

The materials that Seoyeon presented were related to the mercenary group, not the official guild.

It was also an indispensable material for Kang Hu.

It was because joining the guild was dangerous for Ganghu in many ways.

We need to reduce the number of contacts with ‘Thirteen Stars’, but Jang Si-hwan’s influence is quite strong in domestic guilds.

Even if there was no direct connection with Jang Si-hwan, there was a high possibility of entering the sphere of influence of the thirteen stars.

That is, it is not safe.

Right now, the thirteen stars, that is, the collaborators, are not aware of the constellation ‘Dimension Robber’.

Once recognized at some point, persistent pursuit and elimination attempts will be made.

So, without paying attention to guilds, criminal organizations, or local warlords.

It was most suitable to be a ‘client’ who only received requests from the mercenaries.

After the request is completed, the requesters become completely strangers, so there is nothing to get involved with.

When Ganghu’s gaze stopped in one place for a long time, Han Seo-yeon added a word.

“I can connect you to the nearest mercenary group. An older sister I know is also the leader.”

“Any aliases matter?”

“of course. I won’t ask anything except level scan and basic verification.”

“Then, I want you to connect me here. I think this will be my last request.”

“Why do you keep saying it’s the last, the last? I think it’s returning the love and heart that oppa gave me before.”

“Seo Yeon-ah.”

“huh?”

“Don’t get stuck in the past.”

The moment she was about to contact the mercenary’s ‘knowing sister’, Han Seo-yeon’s hand stopped.

It was because of the deep resonance he felt from Kang Hu’s words.

Not being stuck in the past obviously meant a lot to her. Because the party is right in front of you.

Han Seo-yeon turned her head and made a call while wiping away tears from her reddened eyes.

At the same time, he spoke to Kang-hu in a voice that suppressed his emotions as much as possible.

“Goodbye, brother. always healthy.”

“I hope you are healthy too.”

All the past emotions that were fond of it were buried at this moment.

* * *

The preparations were made in an instant.

Contact was reached, and the place where Ganghu would meet with the mercenary leader was also decided. It was near Daejeon Station.

Kang Hu, who parted with Han Seo-yeon with a short hug, got back in a taxi heading to Daejeon Station.

And I briefly looked at the items obtained during the escape process.

The ax seemed to have no use. Because I didn’t have the talent to use this weapon.

You will be able to sell it later for a reasonable price. It’s because there aren’t any hunters who use axes.

[Necklace of Fair Wind]

【Rating: 7th Rating】

【Agility +15】

[Rise Energy Bracelet]

【Rating: Level 6】

【HP +25】

[Recovers 1 additional HP per minute]

I finished wearing the necklace and bracelet I took from the last hunter I killed.

From Kanghu’s point of view, who had extremely low basic stats, these items were like thousands of troops.

A total of 40 stats went up.

In terms of level, the stats corresponding to a level increase of 40 were easily filled with items.

‘It wasn’t intentional, but the fact that there was a battle during the escape process helped in the end.’

Certainly it was.

This is because all existing items were taken away during the process of entering the clearing camp.

As much as starting over from a penniless state, there was nothing more gratifying than being filled with useful items.

At that time, the taxi driver carefully looked at Kang-hoo, as if he didn’t like the quiet inside the car.

“Guest, I’m going to turn on the radio. Are you all right?”

“I see.”

Kang Hu nodded.

Then the driver tuned in to the frequency he always listened to. Just in time, the news was coming out.

[Hunter Jang Si-hwan revealed that he killed all of the ‘White Roses’, a mercenary group based in Jeongseon, Gangwon-do.

The White Roses are a criminal organization that plotted the terrorist attack at Exit 11 of Gangnam Station, and have been tracked by Hunter Jang Si-hwan for a long time.]

Food, laughter came out.

To begin with, the White Roses are not a terrorist organization.

Of course, the terrorist incident at Exit 11 of Gangnam Station is not their fault. It is Jang Si-hwan’s self-made play.

However, from the point of view of an ordinary person who does not know the inside story, it is bound to look completely different.

Coincidentally, the taxi driver said exactly what Kang-hu had in mind.

“As expected, Sihwan Jang! Aren’t you really proud that Korea has such a heroic hunter?”

This is the power of image making.

Furthermore, it was also a taste of the future that Kanghu will face in the future.

When he starts to stand against Jang Si-hwan in earnest to change the ending of the collaborator, he will do his best to drive himself as a villain.

Something that happened countless times in the original work.

The thirteen stars, which have a worldwide network, have the power to shape public opinion at any time.

“My son also awakened as a hunter a while ago, but he tried to join Sihwan Jang’s guild somehow.”

Ganghu didn’t answer the knight’s words and looked out the window.

It’s because I don’t want to do a soulless affirmation, nor do I want to do an emotional denial.

‘If you look closely, level 20 is the most important. The moment you acquire a skill, your proficiency will be maxed out right away.’

For Hunters, acquisition of basic skills is done in order of level 1, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 100.

If expanded further, 200, 400, and 800 are included, but since it is a fairly distant story, we usually see up to 100.

In order to see the constellation effect to the fullest, the more skills you have, the better.

There are ways to become level 20, and there are ways to steal skills from boss monsters.

However, as entering the dungeon with no connection at all was unsatisfactory, there were many things to be aware of.

Soon after, the taxi arrived at the meeting place.

As soon as he paid the fee in cash and got off, the ‘captain’ who was at the meeting place greeted Ganghu.

“hello? I heard about Seoyeon. I heard you were classmates in high school? I am Yerin Lee.”

“This is Jeong Seon-gyu.”

Kang Hu took a pseudonym.

A warm energy passed along her hand as they shook hands.

You feel your body become lighter.

‘Is this a buffer-cum-mage?’

Kang-hu knew her well.

It’s because he was set up as one of the characters who would later oppose the thirteen stars.

Probably at least level 250 at this point. No, maybe more than that.

Of course, constellations are also scanned.

‘Sometimes they have strong supporters who are within the top 100 in the ranking.’

My heart was pounding, perhaps thanks to meeting the person I had painstakingly set up at an early point in time.

It seems that there will be much more help in the future because the goal and the resolution are similar to Shin Kang-hu in the work.

“What do you want to do? A collection request?”

The fact that the level was 10 had already been communicated through Han Seo-yeon, so it seemed that he had made a suitable estimate in advance.

Of course, that’s not what Ganghu wanted.

“Dungeon raids are good. Or tracking down a fussy wanted man is fine. As long as the reward is certain.”

“There are more than one or two wanted criminals, but I don’t think you can catch them with just your mind.”

“Because level is not important in catching them. It doesn’t matter how well you understand their habits.”
