Master K (2)
* * *
In the car on the way to Ground Zero.
The farther away you are from Seoul, the faster the surrounding landscape changes.
Unlike the bright and lively scenery of Seoul, which feels orderly, tidy and safe.
Broken streetlights, scuffed asphalt pavement, and streets lined with abandoned cars were dreary.
Of course, people live here too. The murderous prices in Seoul are so high that even the middle class cannot afford them.
It is too greedy to want all spaces in the world to be filled with light and happiness.
In the first place, the original ‘Villain’s life white paper who became a savior’ was thoroughly drawn as a world close to dystopia.
Kang-hu knows that better than anyone else, so he didn’t expect anything like that.
Meanwhile.
Jeong Yu-ri, who had been waiting for Kang-hu to speak first, pursed her lips.
Conversation with Kang-hu was always a way that he had to bring up the topic himself.
From noble mtl dot com
Like last time, I only talk to them first if there is a business, otherwise there are no stone statues.
With an expressionless face added to it, sometimes you might mistake it for a mannequin or a wax figure.
Looking at Kang Hu from the side, I felt like I was seeing a man with many thoughts and sad stories.
I feel loneliness as if I am trying to carry a heavy burden on my own from my tightly closed mouth.
Hidden behind the silence, she could instinctively feel his complex emotions. that he has something
That’s why I keep wanting to talk to Kang-hoo, who has no talent for conversation.
“Jeong Seon-gyu?”
“huh.”
“I’ve been looking out the window since before. Is there anything difficult?”
“No, not really.”
“brother. Didn’t you say that your brother also applied for the Judgment Hell mercenary recruitment this time?”
“huh. I put the paperwork in.”
“I want to go too! It’s also a unique opportunity for growth, and I thought I’d try to expand my personal network at this point.”
Kang Hu tilted his head.
As the attack was supervised by the Jeonghwa Guild, there was a possibility that she would meet Chae Kwan-hyung.
In a way, it’s like the enemy of her life who gave her a big trauma, but is it okay?
Perhaps reading Ganghu’s thoughts, Jung Yu-ri continued talking.
“are you okay! I don’t think it would matter if I saw Chae Kwan-hyung in person. I did a lot of mind control and learned how to hide my emotions.”
“Are you really okay?”
“huh. The will to move toward a vibrant future is stronger than the difficult memories of the past! It’s all thanks to my brother.”
“Some conclusions.”
“Really. I, even if you look like this, I’m not good at empty words, am I?”
“I am not going to move as a team. That’s how I applied.”
“Yeah, that’s my brother’s choice. I’m not going with you! I was interested in participating, too, I mean.”
“Prepare well.”
“That’s right! Oh sure… … . I haven’t forgotten about that Revenge is sure to come. Until then, just be patient and wait. ”
Her last words revealed the pain she had buried for a while in the fragments of her memories. I will endure it with all my might.
Anyway, after Jeong Yu-ri’s firm answer, the limousine plunged into a swamp of silence again.
The atmosphere in the car was as perfect as the humid-looking sky.
Jung Yuri took out wireless earphones, put them in her ears, and started listening to music.
When she was alone at Ground Zero, it was classical music that soothed her so that she would not feel lonely.
Kang-hoo looked out the window again.
Thinking of meeting Master K in person, even Kang-hoo, who was not nervous enough, gained strength.
In the original work, there were many indirect references to K.
However, it did not appear directly at the core of the story. It is because he has never met the main character, ‘Jang Si-hwan’.
‘I don’t want an answer. I just thought it would be perfect if I could shed some light on the way.’
I hoped that at least the vagueness about my congenital mana hypersensitivity would clear up a bit.
Even now, I am able to endure the side effects and pain to some extent, but the fundamental problem has not been solved.
“brother. don’t be too nervous Grandpa looks good on you. I have spoken well.”
“okay.”
Even though I wasn’t going to meet my father-in-law, Jeong Yu-ri’s words sounded odd.
Anyway, it seems that there was a hint of tension.
Kang Hu took a deep breath, calming his excitement. Because it’s not a meeting that you should be intimidated by.
* * *
After reaching Ground Zero and going deeper for a while, I arrived at K’s area.
The official name is ‘Glass Land’.
The name has a story, and it is said that K adopted Yuri Jeong and named it to commemorate this.
The name may seem childish at first glance, but after hearing the story, your heart warms.
The range was so wide that I couldn’t tell where K’s area was from where to where.
K is supplying many stimulants and therapeutic drugs to the Hunter Police Agency and the Purification Guild.
In fact, it is close to monopoly, and it is a large-scale supply, so it is understandable that the cultivation area is so wide.
Even just looking around, the number of workers working inside was over 100.
In addition, there were as many guards separately hired to ensure their safety.
Let’s get off in front of the main entrance.
A man with an expression as dry as Ganghu walked over and said hello.
First, I bowed politely to Jeong Yu-ri, and she greeted him warmly.
“Brother! Long time no see?”
“Welcome, lady.”
“I’m the same age, so just call me Yuri!”
“You are the precious person of the master I serve, but this is not right. That statement is difficult to answer.”
“Anyway, here we are! This is Seongyu’s older brother! I am the guest who will meet my grandfather today!”
“okay. Nice to meet you. My name is Hyungseo Moon.”
Ganghu lightly received Moon Hyeong-seo’s bow. I didn’t ask for a handshake.
Hyungseo Moon.
It is an unfamiliar name to Kang-hoo.
From the looks of it, he seemed to be an confidant who was unconditionally loyal to K. Perhaps there is a story here too.
“Hyung-seo is a friend that my grandfather and I trust more than ourselves. You don’t have to be too vigilant, brother.”
Thanks to Jung Yu-ri’s explanation, Moon Hyeong-seo’s characteristics were quickly understood.
Except for K, his wife, and Jung Yu-ri, no one would look at her with a kind eye.
Usually these single-minded henchmen are suspicious of everyone in the world. regarded as potential enemies.
Not to mention Kang Hu, who came as a guest, was no exception.
Sure enough, Hyung-seo Moon brought a detector and pointed it right at Kang-hu.
“We have security procedures in place. A separate picture will be taken, and all weapons must be left with you.”
“However much.”
Kang Hu nodded.
I wanted to applaud K for doing a good job of meticulously checking outsiders.
Lax management creates gaps, and that becomes a variable.
What if K gets kidnapped abroad or falls into the hands of a criminal organization?
From then on, the domestic herbal supply landscape will change. Ground Zero will also be Muju Gongsan.
Progress was swift.
The photo shoot was immediately finished by the camera installed at the entrance, and Kanghu left the weapon he was holding for a while.
I didn’t say much throughout the search, so I thought things would go quietly.
In the middle, Hyung-seo Moon glanced at Kang-hu and added something he hadn’t said before.
“I’m sorry, but please don’t be rude to Master K, even in the slightest. You know?”
“I think it’s up to Master K to decide whether it’s rude or not. It’s really ‘old heart’.”
At the warning, which seemed to have crossed the line slightly, Kang-hu smiled and responded.
Originally, such a single-minded henchman has a narrow field of view, so he often commits rudeness himself.
Of course I don’t know. So it often becomes a problem. It even boils down to a fight.
“I’m telling you to be careful.”
“I’ll return those words as they are.”
I accepted it without backing down.
After reading the atmosphere where Jung Yu-ri suddenly turns violent.
Damn!
He quickly slapped Moon Hyung-seo on the back. It was her wit to solve (?) the situation.
“Hyung-seo, stop repeating the guide ment like a robot and go quickly. I will go with you on my own!”
“Okay, lady.”
Ganghu looked at Moon Hyeong-seo’s back and scanned his constellation information.
There are five Contract Constellations.
If this is enough, no matter how low the level is set, it will be 400.
Moreover, seeing that he had signed a contract with the Constellation called ‘Sacred Spear Fighter’, he seemed to be a spearman.
It’s probably because he has talent that he was given a constellation specialized for a certain occupation.
However, at the meeting today, he didn’t bring a weapon, so I couldn’t accurately estimate it.
“I’m sorry, brother. Originally, hyung-seo was overly cautious and cautious.”
“You don’t have to apologize. They are only faithful to their respective roles. I did what I said.”
“Thank you for thinking so.”
“As long as it doesn’t cross the line, well, you can hear it with one ear and let it flow. Nothing to worry about.”
It was sincere.
Moon Hyung-seo’s words made me feel a little offended, but I didn’t put it in my heart.
However, it is a very strange feeling.
The day Hyungseo Moon saw her, she wondered if her reaction was ‘jealousy’.
Could it be that
If Moon Hyeong-seo has feelings for Jung Yu-ri, it is possible that he would be concerned about the man he came with for the first time.
‘Anyway, the character is certain.’
Ganghu recalled Hyeongseo Moon again and smiled. It’s a pretty stupid character, so I think I’ll remember it often.

The meeting with K happened right away.
We were able to meet in a separate reception room on the first floor of the building that appears to be his research building.
“grandfather… … !”
“My granddaughter! How much trouble did you have to get here?”
“What a pain! My grandmother prepared a limousine, so I rode with my brother very comfortably.”
“Somehow, in the morning, money suddenly comes out of my bank account… … .”
“Eh? Didn’t you pay with grandma’s money?”
“Where is my money? It’s your grandma’s money.”
“Puha! Grandpa got hit, got hit!”
“okay. Isn’t this friend a young man named Jeong Seon-gyu?”
“yes! I’m Seongyu’s older brother! Brother, it’s Grandpa! A lot of people call me Master K!”
“Nice to meet you. I am Jeong Seon-gyu.”
Ganghu greeted K politely.
Personal information about him is thoroughly veiled, so it is impossible to gauge the realm.
No information about his level was mentioned either. Even after searching the news, it was all speculative articles.
Looking at his constellation information, there are over 10 of them.
At this level, at least 500 or more. That’s what it looks like conservatively, and it will be much higher.
“… … .”
“… … .”
There was a moment of silence between each other.
He didn’t say anything, but Kang Hu felt the pressure of a high wave coming from K’s gaze.
Is it the feeling when you face someone who specializes in intuition and insight, and even has a bit of a miracle?
Yes, it was the feeling you get when you meet someone with a strong spiritual feeling.
It’s a person who can’t be put into words, so that’s why you feel more subtle.
And that thought.
‘You’re an interesting friend.’
K, who was making eye contact with Ganghu, was doing the same.
