Chapter 51: The Hunting Dog (2)
After returning to his accommodation, Kang-hoo pondered over the message he should send to Lee Hyun-seok.
Lee Hyun-seok was relying too much on his loyal retainer, Moon Yu-seok, which was problematic.
Moon Yu-seok was in charge of most of the internal projects conducted by the warlord group The Abyss.
Being too close and trusting too much, Lee Hyun-seok had failed to notice any suspicious signs.
Moreover, Moon Yu-seok had become bold enough to leak internal information to the outside.
The problem is whether hell believe an anonymous email from someone hes never seen.
Kang-hoo drafted the email content.
It highlighted a few points related to the internal projects linked to Moon Yu-seoks betrayal.
If investigated thoroughly, it would be clear that Moon Yu-seok had contacts within the Jeonghwa Guild.
Part of him wanted to personally collect and deliver on-site evidence.
For instance, he considered secretly filming Moon Yu-seok meeting a hunter from the Jeonghwa Guild.
However, with the timing of Moon Yu-seoks betrayal drawing near, if things got complicated, Lee Hyun-seok could be killed before that.
Right. Sending it through a secure email should give it some credibility. It shows I know internal information.
Kang-hoo thought of Lee Hyun-seoks secure email address, not his public one.
Adding qhdks for security at the end of his public email address in English keyboard typing would do.
He remembered this part instantly as it was a setup in the original story.
Such memory was really helpful at times like this. Being his own writing, it was even more vividly remembered.
If Lee Hyun-seok took the email content seriously, issues would arise for Moon Yu-seok soon.
Either he would die or disappear without a trace.
But if there was no response within a week, Kang-hoo would have to prepare to investigate personally.
The Abyss could be a useful organization for Kang-hoo in the long run, at least as a chariot or a cannon in chess terms.
Therefore, he didnt want to simply watch Lee Hyun-seok die meaninglessly. He was determined to change this future.
Some time later.
Whew, done.
Kang-hoo pressed the send button on his email and flung his smartphone outside the bathroom.
With a rare moment of leisure, he planned to relax in a half-bath and organize his thoughts about Cha So-hee.
In the original story, he had invested a lot of effort in the character of Cha So-hee.
Since Kang Dong-hyun was portrayed as a pivotal figure, it was only natural for his devoted retainer, Cha So-hee, to be highlighted as well.
But I didnt make her perfect.
Cha So-hee had a clear weakness. She always masked it with her strengths, but it was still there.
Huuh
He submerged himself into the hot water.
Kang-hoo sank into his world, a place of silence, and visualized the upcoming battle.
He was ready to attack, not necessarily Kang Dong-hyun himself, but at the very least his hunting dog.
4 A.M.
Prepared to depart, Kang-hoo was already at Gwangju-Songjeong Station.
He had reserved a seat on the first train to Seoul.
The departure time was set for 6 A.M.
He had checked four bus terminals just to be safe, but Eclipses hunters were already positioned there.
It was as though they were boldly declaring that he shouldnt even consider that route, as they occupied the terminal waiting area.
Just entering the entrance seemed as though it would trigger chaos.
Taking the train had become his only option.
When Kang-hoo hit the nail on the head, Cha So-hee frowned and responded sharply.
He wasnt wrong.
Considering the number of informants mobilized to gather information on Kang-hoo, it easily exceeded hundreds.
Cha So-hee had always wondered whether it was worth going to such lengths.
But as it was the command of Kang Dong-hyun, her respected superior and benefactor, she had no choice but to comply.
Kang Dong-hyun was that interested in Kang-hoo.
He wanted to make him his.
You found me well.
I set the stage for you to come here. It seems you didnt mind, since you showed up knowing that.
What are you trying to say?
That youre here waiting to follow me willingly. Isnt that it?
As they talked, Cha So-hee gradually moved closer to Kang-hoo.
No. I was waiting to cut off the pesky hunting dog thats been following me around.
Pfft. You, cut me? Kill me? Do you think thats possible?
Cut the clichs. In novels and movies, guys who talk like that tend to have a short lifespan.
Really? In the novels I read, show-offs like you are the first to die.
I know what youre going to say. Let me answer in advance: No.
I was worried about that.
?
I wanted to kill you from the beginning! I was hoping for anything but a Yes, and youre digging your own grave?
This development was expected, so it was nothing new.
A battle with Cha So-hee was inevitable.
Kang-hoo decided to use one of the two red jewels he possessed.
Against her, a magic hunter, defense was crucial.
[By using the red jewel, the 'Protective Level 1' skill can be upgraded to 'Protective Level 2.']
[Level 2 follows the composition of Level 1 but uses 25% of the mana to reactivate Level 1 without a cooldown.]
In essence, while Protective Level 1 has a one-hour cooldown after use,
Level 2 can be reactivated immediately by using 25% of mana, ignoring the cooldown.
It could effectively block a series of deadly attacks from the adversary.
Im really feeling the tension this time.
A life-or-death battle loomed.
Cha So-hee was on high alert.
Objectively, at level 250, she outclassed Kang-hoo, who was only at level 51.
He finished reviewing Cha So-hees constellation information.
[The Great Sage of Kangdong]
[A constellation that allows you to see the invisible. Designate one target, and you can perceive their vague outline even if they are hidden.]
[Master of Manipulation]
[A legendary figure who spent his eighty years mastering manipulation and even ascended to the role of minister. His manipulation skill enables him to replicate an opponent's skill with 25% efficiency for one-time use.]
[The Grand Blacksmith of Inflammation]
[Enhances fire attribute by 250%.]
