Nikita Voronin (2)
* * *
Kang-hoo, who was resting at the villa, received a call from Ma Jin-ho.
Since they had not exchanged numbers, they were contacted through the direct phone number provided in the villa.
He said he wouldn’t be calling for a while, but something seemed to have gone wrong.
“Yes, this is Xinjianghu.”
– This is Ma Jin-ho. Can I talk to you for a minute? You must have been taking a break, I’m sorry.
“it’s okay. Because I wasn’t sleeping. What are you doing?”
– There is a guest who wants to see Shin Kang-hoo. However, it is not possible to arrange a seat arbitrarily.
“Me?”
– Yes, it is.
Kang Hu tilted his head.
There is no acquaintance who knows that he has come here now. It’s also a personality that doesn’t tell me one by one.
Seeing Ma Jin-ho talking like that, it means he was an outsider, but no one could have guessed at all.
“Who are you?”
– My name is Nikita Voronin. You are an executive of the Kashmar Guild and an administrator on the Korean side.
“Nikita Voronin… … .”
It’s not a name I know.
Although the Kashmar guild was often mentioned in the original work, the person named Nikita Voronin was never mentioned. Doesn’t look like a senior executive.
However, the fact that he came from the Kashmar Guild itself bothered him.
Of course, a person like Ma Jin-ho would not have a bad perception of the Kashmar Guild.
You’ll be looking at their well-packaged appearances like the purification guild. You won’t know the hidden truth.
However, from the point of view of Kang Hu, who had a bad relationship with the Kashmar Guild, this meeting could not be welcomed.
This is because Jeon Jong-doo’s Osho Mercenary Corps, which was under the Kashmar Guild, was disbanded by him.
Regarding the death of Jeon Jong-doo, information must have been leaked in various ways, and his face must have been known.
It probably didn’t take long for him to find out that the target was himself, Shin Kang-hu.
The information power of the Kashmar Guild was sufficient.
I guess the reason I came here was because I got the information. Information must have been leaked at Jeju Airport.
‘Seeing that you asked for a formal meeting, you don’t seem to have any intention of fighting. If I did, I would have chosen another way.’
Using even Ma Jin-ho as an intermediary seemed to focus on conversation.
I wanted to see you meet.
It is a good opportunity to hear the story of what came to mind.
On the one hand, it is also possible to gauge how the Kashmar Guild is accepting the two cases.
– What would you like?
“Let’s meet. But I don’t want to bother going out.”
– Don’t worry. I’ll go with Nikita myself. I will also keep your seat.
“Then come here.”
– Yes, I will.
That’s how I met Nikita.
An uninvited guest from the Kashmar Guild. I was really looking forward to what he would say.
That’s not a very good thing, though.
* * *
1 hour later.
Ganghu and Nikita met in a conference room outside the villa.
And Ma Jin-ho decided to take care of the meeting room security himself.
This is because as much as two people who are new to each other meet, unexpected situations can occur.
For example, it was to prevent a physical conflict or a violent situation from occurring.
Kanghu and Nikita stared at each other as they sat face-to-face with a moderately sized round table at the center.
‘It will be level 400.’
Looking at the number of constellations Nikita possessed, it was not difficult to guess his level.
Considering the size of the Kashmar Guild, the level of a mid-level executive. But never at a lower level.
It was Nikita who spoke first.
“Shin Kang-hoo’s actions in destroying Osho’s mercenary group and sweeping away the remnants are quite a feat.”
Is this the out-of-body technique?
To say that he was praising the mercenaries who were under his guild in a natural way was destroyed.
Kang-hu replied with an absurd laugh.
“There was also Bezuumiye at the scene. Unless you’re an idiot, even a passing dog will know that Jong-Doo Jeon is in the skirt of the Kashmar Guild.”
Nikita laughed at Ganghu’s answer.
“hahahaha, is that so? well. It’s something I don’t know. Aren’t dead people silent?”
“Are you going to cheat?”
“No matter how high the value of the dead is, it is not as good as the living. I think so.”
“Since you’re dead, you want to throw it away and get a new ship?”
“It is too simplistic. Our Kashmar Guild has been giving preferential treatment to talented people for a long time.”
“It was a compliment. Say what you want to say, say it properly.”
“I will definitely look after you at the Kashmar Guild. Are you trying to build power in Gangwon-do?”
“It’s bullsh*t that I want you to become the second Jong-du Jeon.”
“It’s not bullsh*t. Anyway, if we look after him properly, he won’t die like Jeon Jong-doo.”
“Then why didn’t you look after Jeon Jong-doo like that right away?”
“Because he’s not worth it.”
Nikita answered plainly.
Kang Hu also lowered his slightly agitated voice and spoke calmly in his original tone.
“If you need a bleeding dealer, let me know. Because of that, I was in Jeju Island right now. I can go on business trips to Russia as well.”
From noble mtl dot com
“Shin Kang-hoo.”
“… … ?”
“I am not asking you to commit a crime. It is to give a new life to the weary hunter.”
After hearing it, Kang Hu doubted his ears for a moment. Is it possible to wrap a nonsensical story like this?
To reduce what Nikita had just said to four letters, it was human trafficking.
They are talking about taking hunters and selling their bodies as if they were giving them a new life.
“Why did you guys decide that?”
“There are more hunters who die or go missing than new hunters. Shouldn’t there be no Hunters who die meaninglessly?”
“Then why do you guys give it that meaning?”
The respect and respect that was kept with minimal courtesy also ended there.
What Nikita was saying was no joke. It was the sincerity that was spit out with conviction.
So it was more scary. Not a single expression has changed, and he is justifying the crime by talking about values.
“It is true that I am in the gray area. But I didn’t give up on being human. it’s okay. Go back.”
“Sorry. I thought the conversation would go well. Isn’t it a Hunter’s quality to pursue practicality and profit?”
“I’m not going to do it because I’m looking for practicality and profit. Why are you doing something you don’t know when you’ll die?”
“It is very unfortunate.”
“I’m sorry too. I never imagined you guys would be so crazy. find another guy I am done.”
I got up from my seat.
Let’s say you agree to Nikita’s offer by yielding a hundred or a thousand times. Will they do what they say?
I could be sure it wasn’t strong.
What if Kang Hu’s worth is gone, and if he’s in danger? Like Jeon Jong-doo, I will throw it away again without mercy.
In the first place, this conversation could not be established from the beginning. Ganghu also knew, but the conversation ended as expected.
Nikita also smiled bitterly and stood up.
Seriously, he seemed to think that a conversation with Kang-hu would work. So he was a more terrifying human being.
* * *
After burying what happened with Nikita as just an unpleasant happening.
The next day at noon, the second dungeon attack was carried out as promised with the Gru Guild.
It was a mini-dungeon raid with a fairly short moving distance, so it ended around evening.
Ganghu’s level reached 165, which fell just right. Level 200 is now starting to come into view.
He also had 1 orange manastone from the middle boss and main boss as loot.
Thanks to that, I came out of the dungeon and disposed of this, and the bank account balance reached 105 billion won.
Again.
It was a fund to buy a 2nd grade item generously.
And from each boss, I was able to get my hands on quite useful skills by stealing.
【Increase Agility A】
【Skill Proficiency: Lv. Max】
【Passive skill. Increases the efficiency of the Agility stat by 7.5% at all times.]
It wasn’t a concept of increasing stats in the stat window, but it functioned like a buff skill that was always applied.
Agility Enhancement is the passive skill with A at the lowest level.
After that, it was the first start this time in the form of increasing percentage as the alphabet goes backward.
【Fire scars】
【Skill Proficiency: Lv. Max】
【Passive skill. Permanently increases Absolute Fire Resistance by 2.5%.]
In addition, thanks to the fire scars, the absolute flame resistance value increased to 10% in total.
This figure is added to the 7.5% obtained the other day.
Now, against flame-type attacks, you can unconditionally cut 10% of the damage and receive it.
If the day comes when it becomes 100% later… … ? At that time, you wouldn’t have to be afraid of flame skills.
For example.
Even if you pass over roaring flames, you can maintain a normal body condition. thanks to tolerance.
In Jeju Island, which he came to with an unexpected offer, Ganghu received many benefits like a gift.
Only four skills were added. The balance has increased so much that it is unbelievable.
In addition, visiting the imbalance point and experiencing an explosive level-up.
Everything was a perfect itinerary.
Kanghu boarded the plane leaving behind such pleasant memories and a meaningful relationship with the Guild.
I didn’t want to stay in Jeju Island for a long time because I had a relationship with Nikita.
* * *
Elizabeth. Vincent. Emilia. whey chrysanthemum. Casey. And even Takashi’s alter ego.
A total of 6 people gathered at the table.
Jang Si-hwan and Chae Kwan-hyung, who are still attacking the dungeon of judgment, were inevitably unable to participate.
After confirming that everyone had gathered, it was Vincent who opened the door to the story first.
This is because he brought Elizabeth, a new colleague and a first-timer. I needed to say hello.
“This is Elizabeth who joined our Justice this time. Are you as beautiful as I heard?”
The ‘Justice’ mentioned by Vincent. That was the word referring to the thirteen stars.
This is because at this time, all thirteen stars had not yet gathered. That is, it was not thirteen.
So, Justice, which was decided as a tentative name rather than an official name, became a word symbolizing this meeting.
The name thirteen stars was finalized after the thirteenth member joined.
Justice still had 13 members. Of course, it was also a time when it was not long.
– nice to meet.
At that time, the first person to shake Elizabeth’s hand was Takashi’s alter ego.
Takashi’s alter ego, who participated in traditional samurai cosplay, conveyed Takashi’s words through a speaker attached to his mouth.
“ah. Bar, nice to meet you. I’ve heard a lot about it. He’s someone you can’t see face to face.”
Elizabeth laughed and took her alter ego’s hand. It’s a cold hand that doesn’t feel any body heat.
While the first greeting with Elizabeth was going on like that one by one.
Vincent naturally took luck on the purpose of this visit.
“Have you all seen it? A new acquirer of hidden skills has appeared. I am sure the owner appeared in Korea.”
I didn’t come to Korea because this was all, but it was also a question I wanted to solve.
Casey Rex was the first to respond to Vincent’s words.
He was the master of the Fortuna Guild with impressive purple eyes like amethyst.
“It looks like you came here because you didn’t see anything good for others. Do you really want to steal that hidden skill?”
At Casey’s words, Vincent shook his head.
“It’s not because others are doing well! Hidden skills should be possessed by those who deserve them. It’s a blessing that shouldn’t be easily obtained by a lucky goofball.”
“So you’re saying it’s because your stomach hurts? What do you say back here? Not like you.”
“X feet.”
Casey was right.
