Episode 151 Treatment (1)

* * *

It wasn’t just the person involved, Jeong Seon-rak, who was embarrassed.

The expressions of his colleagues Ye Jin-bin and the mercenary captains who were watching the scene from the safety barracks also distorted.

Because it had been so long since I had seen blood from Jungseonrak.

Usually he was the one who wounded his target and made him bleed, but never the other way around.

Even though I was stabbed in the face by an unknown assassin, I was stabbed properly.

It was a bold and fearsome move that no one had ever thought of.

The only silver lining is that Jung Seon-rak survived the successive blows.

In the midst of all the wounds, it was the one positive element that could barely be salvaged for a mental victory.

Kang-hoo tried to properly cut off Jung-seon-rak’s breath by linking the leap after the bloodshed.

Thanks to Jung Seon-rak gritting his teeth and spreading his Qigong Gangbyeok in a rapid manner, Gang-hu’s movement path was limited.

Of course, the connection was not completely blocked.

Jungseonrak lost the ring finger and little finger of his left hand to Kanghu, who had dug through the gap between the walls of the qigong river.

Needless to say, I also lost the ring item I was wearing on both fingers.

Kang-hoo took two of Jung-seon-rak’s fingers as if they were spoils of war and disappeared into the laboratory.

Kuung!

The door, which had opened just in time, closed tightly as soon as Kang-hoo entered.

“What did I just see?”

Ye Jin-bin made a dumbfounded expression. It wasn’t a problem that could simply end with a loss.

If an unknown mercenary approached from outside and entered the lab, there is only one reason.

It must be the delivery of the Red Key to activate the protective system to protect the entire laboratory.

Although they did kidnap one of the keyholders early on, it wouldn’t have been so shabby that they didn’t have a spare key.

As expected.

Chakang! Chakang! Woohoohoo!

The sound of power being supplied properly was heard, and the area outside the main gate of Research Lab 1 began to turn green.

It was a barrier that operated based on mana supplied from a large amount of magic stones.

This would render any attack meaningless for at least two weeks.

All attack attempts from the outside in, or from the inside out, are nullified.

For the research institute, whose goal was defense rather than offense, it was a deal with no loss.

In the meantime, we’ll see when external forces are brought in at the research level. Time is now on their side.

“I got screwed.”

Another mercenary captain muttered.

All the work done up to that point went back to square one because the undefeated legend of Jeongseonrak was hit with a single blow.

However, there was no atmosphere of blaming Jung Seon-rak. It was because they thought that if he had suffered, they would have suffered the same.

Even though they didn’t say it out loud, everyone seemed to acknowledge Kang-hoo’s skills.

No one disagreed that he was not an ordinary assassin. It was just bitter because he was the enemy.

“Are you sprinkling ashes on rice that’s already been cooked? This is really fucking ridiculous.”

Ye Jin-bin frowned.

On the one hand, it was regrettable that the attack was delayed until the client’s deposit was received.

But that’s what mercenaries are. They don’t do things out of favor. They have to pay a price first.

Anyway, because of that one assassin, a request worth 300 billion won went down the drain.

The main gate constraints must have also spent a lot of money hiring assassins.

It was a victory since we had protected the research lab, technology, and personnel.

The multinational mercenary force was left with only a lonely exit. Unfortunately, there was no other option.

* * *

Around that time.

“Thank you! Thank you so much!”

The first research institute director, Ahn Seong-hun, kept bowing his head to Kang-hu and expressing his gratitude.

I couldn’t even count how many times I bowed to express my gratitude.

“Thank you, that’s enough. This wasn’t something I did for free. I understand your joy, though.”

Kang-hoo greeted Ahn Sung-hoon with his characteristic bluntness.

If we translate the true meaning, it means that I am satisfied with being able to do all the work assigned to me.

I am always the one who says things that are far removed from what I really mean.

However, since it is a personality and characteristic that has become established as an identity, it is difficult to change.

“I can’t believe it. All the mercenaries who were trying to help were killed because of one Jeungseonrak.”

Ahn Sung-hoon looked outside the lab with an expression of disbelief.

Then, the figure of Jung Seon-rak walking away, holding his severed finger and bleeding profusely, was seen.

From the research institute’s perspective, it was a moment when Jung Seon-rak, who had seemed like a heartless murderer, seemed ridiculous.

At the same time, Kang-hoo’s appearance, who had dealt a proper blow to Jung-seon-rak, could not help but look even more impressive.

“Director.”

“yes?”

“I would like to thank the sniper who helped me at the end. That was a really big hit.”

I was sincere.

Thanks to the precise timing of his assists, he was able to see the opportunity to take advantage of the increase in power.

If Jung Seon-rak hadn’t felt uncomfortable with snipers, it would have been difficult for Norimsu to succeed.

Because Gang-hoo’s strategy was to make the enemy ‘mistakenly’ think that the sniper’s sniping cover was intended to buy Gang-hoo time.

Although we didn’t exchange a single word or look at each other, we were able to communicate.

“I was going to bring you anyway, but the person in question refused… … .”

“Rejection?”

“yes.”

“Aren’t you from the research institute?”

“To be exact, they are mercenaries. They are employed on a long-term basis, but they are guaranteed to act independently… … .”

“Okay, I understand. If you get a chance later, please be sure to tell me thank you.”

“I will definitely do that.”

It was a pity.

I was curious because I felt like he was a sniper with as much sense as Ban Se-young, but it seems like he didn’t want to meet him.

The foolishness was immediately shaken off.

And we once again looked at the movements of the multinational mercenary force as seen through CCTV.

The mercenaries were seen quickly withdrawing, perhaps because they saw that the protective countermeasure system was activated.

It’s a wise choice.

The active counter-field is like a giant rock. Throwing a white egg at it will only break the egg.

With this, the goal is achieved.

After the great war is over after two weeks, it is entirely up to the main gate to decide what to do next.

The multinational mercenary force may attack again, or nothing may happen.

Of course, that’s not your problem to worry about.

The settlement was made as quickly as possible at Kang-hoo’s request.

As the effects of Mad Solarium wore off, dampness quickly spread throughout my body.

In the process of approaching the lab, I used my skills continuously without stopping for even a single moment.

While fighting with Zengshenlak at Hwalongjeomjeong, my body became overloaded.

It’s a good thing Mad Solarium put all the physical pain and pressure behind me.

If not, it would not have been strange for him to have collapsed and vomited blood long ago.

A commission fee of 55 billion won.

Here are 10 of each ring.

I received all the promised rewards. When I checked my bank account balance, it was 140 billion won in an instant.

After greeting the director of the research center, Sunghoon Ahn, I felt like a time bomb was about to explode.

Using my teleportation ability, I returned to the safe hotel where I had checked in beforehand.

And after about a minute had passed.

“Ugh… … !”

Kang-hoo couldn’t stand the nausea that was creeping up on him and started vomiting.

Before the assignment, all I had was a few sips of water instead of a meal, and I ended up throwing that up too.

At the same time, a pain like someone was hitting my head with an axe began to surge through me.

Even though the pain reduction effect of the item is quite good, it’s still at this level.

I thought that if I hadn’t had the item, I might have fainted or died from shock.

“Ha. Haa. Now I realize how much honey I’ve been getting from Mad Solarkyum… … Ugh!”

I lowered my head at the feeling of nausea that came up again before I could even finish my self-deprecating summary.

In common parlance, it hurt like shit. It felt like extreme pain that couldn’t be managed even with narcotic painkillers.

By suppressing the pain, he was able to display superhuman strength that was completely out of proportion to his level.

But it wasn’t free. My body, stretched to its limits, honestly paid the bill.

That was the present moment of pain and suffering, and the present moment when my body could not endure it and was going crazy.

Of course, on the one hand, I was proud that I could do this with hunters whose levels were 3 or 4 times higher than mine.

Because the power gap that would not have been established in normal cases was able to be equalized, even if only for a moment.

That’s why Jung Seon-rak let his guard down against him and got hit hard.

The two rings on the guest room table are evidence. They are the result of Jung Seon-rak being treated well.

“Phew. Phew.”

Kang-hoo came out of the bathroom out of breath and headed to the window.

Because the surroundings were all white walls, just looking at them made me feel shaky.

I thought that if I looked at a wide open view, the dizzy feeling would subside a bit.

“What the heck… … .”

But unfortunately, the sky that Kang-hoo saw was melting like ice cream.

Everything I saw and felt was not normal.

The aftershock that came back as payment for torturing the body was more destructive than imagined.

Maybe that’s why.

Kaching!

Kang-hoo picked up a glass cup filled with water in advance, but couldn’t stand the discomfort and smashed the cup.

It seemed like I needed to take a full day off. The bills that had been flying at me were demanding that I do just that.

* * *

Same time.

Kuung!

A man who had fallen down, clutching his neck, looked at the two men with a resentful expression.

But that was only for a moment. The man, whose breath had stopped, turned his back on the world with unfocused eyes.

It seemed like a fierce battlefield, but ironically, it was inside Jang Si-hwan’s penthouse.

And the man covered in the dead man’s blood was none other than Vincent Meyer.

“Fuck, this kid is not like that.”

Vincent glared at Jang Si-hwan and swore at him.

I know it’s just venting my anger, but I wanted to deal with the emptiness in some way.

Jang Si-hwan shrugged his shoulders as if he had no particular thought and asked Vincent back.

“No hidden skills?”

“It’s not there… … It really wasn’t there.”

“I thought you were going to deny it even though you had it, but it seems you didn’t. Anyway, I need to get the money. Thanks to you, I killed a promising prospect.”

“I don’t have money. I can give you a dungeon. It’s my dungeon in Romania. I have a clear ownership.”

“Then there’s no problem.”

Even though the promising talent that the Purification Guild was training had died, Jang Si-hwan’s expression was calm.

It’s a shame, but I had a very simple idea that we could just recruit and develop promising players.

The feeling was closer to a feeling about a thing disappearing than a feeling about a person.

The assassin hunter that Jang Si-hwan predicted would acquire hidden skills was the promising ‘Shin Hee-seong’.

But it was a nice fuss to see.

In return, I was given an expensive dungeon, so I thought it was actually a good deal.

Meanwhile, Vincent changed his approach, perhaps because he found this approach frustrating.

“Give me a list of all the assassins who participated in the conquest of Hell of Judgment. It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner. I have to check them all.”

I was thinking of going forward myself.
