Chapter 67: Kimcheon Liberation Zone (5)

After hearing the whole story from Min Su-hyun, Kang-hoo understood why she had recklessly gone to the liberation district.

He still couldnt grasp her recklessness in entering without thinking of the consequences, but his conclusion was this:

Min Su-hyun had made a contract with a constellation that only activated hidden effects in certain items.

She could also understand the composition and ownership information of these specific items.

Thats why she couldnt resist the temptation and had ended up entering the Gimcheon liberation district.

She managed to steal the gloves that Shin Jun-ho had left behind.

However, she had no escape plan and was trapped inside.

Given that she was in the territory of the famously coordinated Ebony Bone, she didnt dare think about escaping.

When Kang-hoo arrived, she was fleeing because she couldnt hold out any longer.

Her emergency food supply had run out, and her dehydration was worsening; she was in a desperate situation.

I was tearing my hair out in regret, ready to die. Thats when you showed up, brother.

Seems like you know youre foolish.

Its not just ordinary foolishness.

At Kang-hoos unexpectedly sharp comment, Min Su-hyun smiled. She agreed with him and was not offended.

For her, she was just grateful that Kang-hoo, whom she was connected with, had come to save her.

She was also left in awe of Kang-hoos space teleportation ability that he had demonstrated.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Externally, his appearance and armed state clearly resembled that of an assassin, but his abilities were strangely composed.

Anyway, once I safely hand her over to her uncle, my part is done.

I really want to express my personal thanks. I dont have money now, but if I ask my uncle

Its fine. Ill negotiate that myself with your uncle, so dont offer compensation arbitrarily.

Youre modest.

Its not modesty. Your goodwill would just interfere with my plan to negotiate from a stronger position.

Youre quite prickly.

Business has to be conducted prickly, so theres no regret later.

Rip off my uncle a lot. Ill just reimburse him for that amount.

Be more careful next time.

I plan to be.

Lets limit the old-fashioned advice to this much.

Kang-hoo handed her a bottle of water he had taken out of his backpack.

She had already finished two bottles, yet she still seemed thirsty.

The words Kang-hoo had just said were definitely not empty.

He intended to make Lee Hyun-seok owe him a favor and to use him thoroughly.

If the world could run beautifully on pure goodwill and kindness, how great that would be.

Unfortunately, this damned world is not so rosy.

Especially for Kang-hoo, whose many emotions have dried up, pure goodwill does not exist.

Everything is a process to strictly pursue profit.

If necessary, he can act as a good person or become the worst human trash.

The Thirteen Stars are exactly like that.

They constantly change their masks, cunningly controlling the world to suit their tastes.

No, its already in progress.

Take Chae Gwanhyeong, for example. Despite committing such a terrible act against Jung Yuri,

On television, he actively defends womens rights and pain, and pledges to lead the fight against sex offenders.

To think of living with just one face in todays world is certainly a foolish thought.

Meanwhile, as Lee Hyun-seok had not yet arrived, Min Su-hyun kept talking out of boredom.

Arent you interested in my gloves?

Theyre not my gloves.

Still, its natural to be curious, right? A Grade 2 item isnt easily obtainable.

Additionally, it would help disperse some of the attention that might otherwise be focused solely on himself.

This made Lee Hyun-seok a person of great strategic value. He also possessed remarkable skills in reality.

First of all, thank you for rescuing Su-hyun. I dont know how to repay this kindness.

You must have some idea in mind.

Kang-hoo spoke calmly.

Lee Hyun-seok, repeatedly bowing his head in gratitude, was clearly sincere.

I heard about the situation belatedly. Did you move directly here from the liberation district?

Yes.

Was this the route you planned before going to rescue Su-hyun?

Yes.

An unbelievable space teleportation ability. Even Hosaka Kenji, known for space teleportation in Japan, would struggle with such a distance.

Lee Hyun-seok was right.

Hosaka Kenji.

A hunter in Japans magic community, specialized in space teleportation.

He had various space teleportation and position-switching skills.

Among them, his longest-range skill allowed him to teleport within a radius of 10 kilometers.

Even so, Hosaka Kenji was considered an authority in space teleportation.

But Kang-hoo had jumped a distance incomparably farther in a single leap.

Though, of course, it was limited to once a day.

Well, everyone has their specialty.

But judging by your armaments, it seems youre into assassination. Quite interesting. Very interesting

Having experienced many battles, Lee Hyun-seok could tell what type of hunter Kang-hoo was at their first meeting.

An assassin.

And a highly skilled one at that, capable of taking a life with just a touch.

Lee Hyun-seok sensed a very cold but refined murderous aura emanating from Kang-hoo.

At that moment, he was ready to switch from defense to offense at any time.

It was obvious to Lee Hyun-seok. Kang-hoos readiness, always with battle in mind.

Lee Hyun-seok continued.

I keep forgetting the most important part. Lets discuss how to express my gratitude.

Kang-hoo had already thought about what he would say to Lee Hyun-seok.

The bounty, that is, the reward for rescuing Min Su-hyun, was set at 5 billion won. A significant sum.

But Kang-hoo wasnt interested in money this time. He wanted Lee Hyun-seok himself.

Kang-hoo understood his personality.

Lee Hyun-seok was someone who repaid kindness several times over and felt compelled to do so.

He could take advantage of this to make a good profit, but that would be a one-time deal.

However, turning that amount into a relationship? That was a different story.

Id prefer to keep it simple.

Simple, as in the monetary aspect?

Lee Hyun-seok nodded.

It was a mission originally tied to money. Kang-hoos reply was within expected limits.

His only niece, his only blood relatives life, had been saved. No amount of money would be too great.

But contrary to Lee Hyun-seoks expectations, Kang-hoo shook his head and replied calmly.

Just make time for a cup of tea later. One tea time will suffice for me.

Pardon?

I mean, I dont need the money.

Kang-hoo responded, opting not to accept the life-saving reward in money but in another form.

Lee Hyun-seoks eyes sparkled, unable to discern Kang-hoos intentions.
