The Genius Assassin Who Does It All Himself - Chapter 291



Only Krnovel

Episode 291 Infernus (1)

Inside the camp, there are paths that only guards use, and there are also special areas that are not on the official map.

Its uses are varied.

Locations outside CCTV and defense facilities are mainly used as special spaces.

Prisoners here are often subjected to vicious torture and assault, and sexual assault between same-sex individuals is also committed.

In some cases, it was used as a place where guards would call their lovers or wives and enjoy secret meetings for a few hours.

There were also side roads to facilitate access for such purposes, but of course they were outside the management area.

– We’ll let you know as soon as the D-Day is confirmed. I think it will be around three or four days.

“Yes, please contact me.”

– My heart is pounding.

“me too.”

– Then I’ll contact you again.

The call ended within a moment.

As Jeon Se-hyeok said, Kang-hu’s heart also started pounding.

Because ending the Qingming concentration camp would mean a definitive break with my dark past.

Since it was a break that was achieved with one’s own hands, it seemed like it could be given more meaning.

‘Also, if we take over the magic stone mine, Jeon Se-hyeok and Lee Ye-rin’s forces will also gain more power. If mining is carried out normally, a fixed net profit is practically guaranteed.’

The price of magic stone remains normal in normal times, but when conflicts in each region intensify, the price skyrockets.

In fact, recently, as the Battle of Dongducheon became a protracted war, the price of maseok has been rising every day.

In particular, they were buying magic stones like crazy from the Abyss side.

The sniper unit they run, the ‘Red Tigers’, also uses the Hunter’s own magical power to fire magic bullets.

Because it is linked to a magic stone, it pursues stable and steady firing. This was the most difficult element.

This was also the reason why Jang Si-hwan and Chae Gwan-hyeong could not openly attack the enemy.

Because the Matan riots continue unabated.

In particular, Abyss possessed unique technology in the field of firearms that utilized magical power.

In the original, with the fall of the Abyss, all of these technologies fall into the hands of the Purification Guild.

From the perspective of the main character, Jang Si-hwan, it was a windfall, but that kind of thing won’t happen again.

“I need to get some sleep and wake up, and just focus on training. There’s nothing else to do right now.”

Kang-hoo immediately closed his eyes.

You should sleep well, training becomes easier after you wake up. And today, at least, I felt like I could sleep without any worries.

It was a day of real hard work.

* * *

since.

For two days, Kang-hoo focused solely on individual training.

There was no need for complicated, noisy training.

When doing personal exercises and checking while using skills, just think of the words left by the thousand-year-old master.

In all my actions and processes, I recalled the words of the thousand-year-old man.

Being true to your true feelings.

When I was hungry, I focused on the hunger, when I was hot, I focused on the heat, and when I was angry, I focused on the anger.

And he set up the wooden doll as an imaginary enemy and continued to arouse pure malice toward it.

It wasn’t all at once, but as I kept trying, I felt like the words of the thousand-year-old master were slowly becoming a part of my life.

Meanwhile, an email containing information related to the dungeon arrived from Takashi.

The moment he clicked and opened it, Kang-hoo couldn’t help but make a loud noise, not to mention screaming.

The currently known internal information was organized almost at the level of a thesis.

When I saw the content written down, including example videos and pictures that I made myself, and even path analysis using mathematical formulas… … .

I thought to myself, this guy is really into it. He really is serious about analyzing dungeons and patterns.

Of course, the content wasn’t boring.

Kang-hoo, as the original creator, clearly had a bad taste in creating annoying patterns and monsters.

Furthermore, as a gamer, I have a strong tendency to enjoy challenging games with high difficulty.

To put it simply, it would be correct to say that it is a mild version of Takashi. That is why it secretly matches well with him.

Meanwhile, Cheon-sal-no-su continued his training elsewhere while Kang-hu was undergoing personal training.

Kang-hoo glanced at Joo Hae-mi and saw her training with him.

I had been making Joo Hae-mi do the same movement for hours, which was to raise her feet high into the air.

To Kang-hoo’s eyes, they all looked exactly the same, but the thousand-year-old old man scolded her, saying that they were different every time.

Could it be because I saw her struggles with my own eyes? I felt good(?) because I felt like I had a comrade.

So it was the night of the second day of personal training.

Kang-hoo waited for the call to arrive, but he received a call that he thought would not matter even if it took time.

It was a call from Kang Bok-hwa.

The bereaved family members who possess the first-class talisman, Infernus, are finally entering Busan from Vietnam.

A kind of talisman lottery that gives you the chance to ‘experience’ it just once for 49 billion won.

If it fails, you’ll lose 49 billion won.

If successful, you will become the owner of the talisman and see profits exceeding 10 times the investment amount.

This is because the minimum unit price of a first-class item, regardless of the part, is always over 500 billion won.

As he had promised to share his schedule with the thousand-year-old man, Kang-hoo immediately received his permission.

Even the thousand-year-old old man knew that Kang-hoo would occasionally have personal plans, so he didn’t make it a problem.

He only left a message to Kang-hoo, who was leaving the villa for a moment, as if he was indifferent or not, telling him to take care.

Thanks to K’s consideration, I was able to take a safe limousine straight to Busan.

Perhaps K thought he should pay more attention to Kang-hoo, who was going to meet his wife.

Kang-hoo was more surprised by the fact that the safety limousine was a limousine, but that the driver was Moon Hyung-seo.

I thought they would hire a regular driver, but Moon Hyung-seo took the wheel.

The fact that Moon Hyung-seo, who was like K’s bodyguard, drove the car himself was enough to show K’s consideration.

Thanks to that, I was able to head to Busan in a comfortable and safe limousine.

The weather was nice and the roads were in good condition, so everything was fine.

About 30 minutes of silent driving with no conversation taking place.

Kang-hoo looked at the text from the backseat and was able to confirm that one more constellation had been added to him.

Looks like you’ve grown up in the meantime.

The constellations were also aligned in a way that could further strengthen his spearmanship, so the synergy seemed very good.

Although he doesn’t have a good relationship with Moon Hyung-seo, he is K’s confidant, so it is definitely beneficial for him to become stronger.

So, I was thinking that this was good news, when Moon Hyung-seo broke the long silence.

“I envy you.”

“Hmm? What are you jealous of?”

“Aren’t you receiving teachings from the Thousand-Year-Old Master? I’m so jealous.”

Moon Hyung-seo’s eyes, visible through the rearview mirror, were literally filled with envy.

Do you feel the longing when you can’t have what you want? That seems to be the teaching of the thousand-year-old tree.

“Have you ever asked your teacher for teachings?”

“Of course, but I was immediately rejected.”

“hmm…….”

“The old man told me that I have good skills, but I don’t have the talent to change the world.”

Does this mean that although his skills have been recognized, his potential beyond that has not been recognized?

What is the concept of changing the world that the thousand-year-old man spoke of? It was something I had never heard of before.

Moon Hyung-seo was wary that the conversation would turn into nothing more than pointless grumbling, so he immediately changed the subject.

“I didn’t want to repeat my evaluation. I’m just jealous. I feel like I’ve been recognized to that extent, so I respect you.”

“What about respect?”

Kang-hoo waved his hand.

Even if we only consider level, Moon Hyung-seo is much higher than him, and his skills are outstanding enough for K to acknowledge.

Even the thousand-year-old master admitted that his skills were ‘good’, right? Then he must be a skilled person of a higher level.

“Anyway, I hope you learn a lot from it. There are more people watching you than you think. Me too.”

“Keep that in mind.”

“And next time we have a chance to meet… …you know? I have a duel with you.”

“Yeah. I haven’t forgotten.”

“I want to fight without a sword once. I lived thinking that if I hadn’t picked up a spear first, I would have picked up a dagger.”

“Okay. It’s not much, but if you need any tips on using the dagger, feel free to ask.”

“Thank you. Then… … I will take care of you all the way to Busan.”

Wheeing.

Moon Hyung-seo quickly closed the open compartment between the driver’s seat and the back seat.

It’s to create a space just for Kang-hoo.

Kang-hoo was glad to hear Moon-hyung-seo’s voice, which seemed much more relaxed than when they first met.

Since there was no reason to actually fight with Moon Hyung-seo, at first, his antipathy, if not antipathy, was somehow uncomfortable.

I just have a vague feeling that it might be because of his feelings for Jeong Yu-ri.

If the object of your crush seems to be interested in someone else, it’s only natural that you’d feel nervous.

But now, the relationship between Kang-hoo and Jung-yuri remains that of close brother and sister.

Maybe Moon Hyung-seo felt relieved(?) by that and opened his heart.

‘Maybe I was too dismissive of Moon Hyung-seo’s feelings. Yeah, it’s rude. Let’s not hit him down.’

I decided to accept his kindness as is. That way, unnecessary misunderstandings will not arise.

at that time.

I got a call that I was wondering why he hadn’t come. It was Park Dong-jae.

It’s become a daily routine now, so I don’t really think of it as anything special.

In fact, I would regularly receive messages from Park Dong-jae telling me to eat well and take care of myself.

It was such an obvious content that Kang-hoo just replied in a short sentence and ended it… … .

Every time I saw that kind of contact, I felt strange because it felt like I was seeing a parent contacting me every day out of concern for their child.

Anyway, it felt like contact from Park Dong-jae had become a daily occurrence, so when he didn’t come, I started to feel empty.

“Hey, Dongjae.”

– Hey, I didn’t call to nag you!

“I know you usually nag me.”

– I’m doing this because I’m worried about my brother… Should I stop here?

“Just right. That’s about it.”

– Haha. So, I got a call from the famous guild! The master really wants to see you, hyung?

“please?”

– Yeah. Thanks to what you pointed out this time, I was able to cut off all ties with the Haeyoung Guild.

The company in charge of security around the dungeon has also terminated its contract after being found to have ties to the Haeyoung Guild.

“It seems that the Haeyoung Guild’s influence was deeper than I thought.”

– Yeah. It was really deep in. I think it felt like it was about 90% done?

“Thank you so much for suggesting that we meet. The problem is that I’m so busy that it’ll be hard to set a date.”

It was more like a groan than a real one.

In this Infernus case, there is also a dungeon raid with Takashi, and training with the Thousand-Year-Old Beast is ongoing.

Moreover, since they are preparing to target the Qingming concentration camp, it is even more difficult to make time.

Then Park Dong-jae answered.

– Then he asked me to make sure to tell him this. He said that he was truly grateful to his brother and that he thought of him as a benefactor who helped him open his eyes.

“Yes. Then tell them what I said. I’m glad that things ended without any problems, and I hope that the guild continues to prosper.”

– Okay! The Myungga Guild says it’s okay to meet up anytime. Just pick a day that’s convenient for you.

“Okay.”

– And by the way, bro. Speaking of Ishihara Yuuji. I have something to say about this guy.

“The main point starts here.”

Kang-hoo’s eyes glowed red.

The main dish of the story was this guy, Yuji Ishihara.
