Chapter 301: The Elite Hunter
His ability was also very suited for that activity. A master of shadow.
"I am just stating the obvious. We are not on a crucial mission. Suspecting things without any reason will just raise the risk.
We are all veterans here; we should know what to do."
"Keep our plans to ourselves and just act based on the situation. Hahaha." A man cut in with a laugh. He had golden hair and blue eyes.
Glasses were perched on his nose. "Felix, you never change. Do you forget you also acted the same when we first met?"
"Shut up. I don\'t want to hear it from an eccentric like you. At least my habit is to raise my chances.
You, instead, wear glasses when you don\'t need them. I never get what passes in your mind, Heimdall."
Heimdall didn\'t feel offended. He just laughed, "Look, this is just a fashion choice. Some people prefer piercing or jewelry; me, I choose to wear glasses."
"Heimdall, your head is never right," Isolde commented with a sigh.
From the group, Heimdall was the one who depressed her the most. She could never guess what passed through the man\'s mind.
He was so random, sometimes doing things for no reason. For example he change his name into Heimdall.
But at the very least, so far, if something bad happened, he was always there for them.
They all compared the fight in the frontline when the chaos first started happening.
Things were worse at that time since humans just started learning about their abilities. They also didn\'t understand anything about the dungeon. With panic, people in chaos, politics, inner conflict, all of it boiled down to the age of Anarchy.
Rules and laws were thrown out of the window, crime was rampant, and the elite tried to help themselves.
They hired all the new hunters, making them their personal bodyguards in exchange for fortune. Government collapsed as people lost trust in them.
Only after people like Luca and Solomon came did the world begin to regain its peace. They used their strength to establish order, not just for their own greed.
"We are all old comrades here, Luca. What Felix said is right. It will just risk our danger. So let\'s stop talking about it and just go to our next destination."
"Always the voice of reason, huh, Aldric," Heimdall commented.
"Someone needs to put all your heads straight. Usually, it\'s Edward\'s job, but since he is not here, I can only do what we can.
We all have passed through deadly situations together, only surviving thanks to believing in each other\'s backs.
I am not degrading your family, but it\'s a very different situation with them."
"Aldric is right, Luca. You just think like this because you\'re angry.
People in your guild are those you rescued on the way, and they grew dependent on you. I am not insulting them. Just stating the fact.
As for each of us, you know how many things we have experienced together."
Luca took a deep breath. What Isolde said was right. She couldn\'t just suspect everyone now because of what happened in the past.
"I am sorry. Let\'s just forget about this."
The others just nodded and followed her. They understood where Luca\'s anger came from.
Losing Edward was like splitting her soul into two. They all knew how much they loved each other.
As for the other members, none of them had family. Each had their own baggage.
Some considered it in the past after seeing how happy Luca and Edward were. But after the tragedy happened, they could see how much in despair Luca was.
If even a strong woman they all respected turned like that, they all
knew better not to try it. It\'s better to think of it only when the world turned into a better place. One that is suitable for kids to grow up without worry.
As Luca and the group left, Alex and MingYue returned to SGE.
Alex was more motivated than ever to get the answer. And he thought it was related to their species as humans.
Meanwhile, MingYue just wanted to take a break then continue her training.
Another time passed without any news from Luca, making Emily feel anxious. She decided to dedicate all of her emotions to her practice, allowing her power to rise quickly.
As Emily and the others didn\'t need as many resources like Alex and MingYue, Alex could easily afford this cost.
The money earned from selling spice water, storage cubes, and qi crystals from the mine was more than enough.
Alex also put Faerith on a side project to research how to mass-produce a pill. He first gave her a book about alchemy and some spirit herbs to study.
Faerith was excited when touching this new material. Even though Alex said it was a side project, she knew how much the effect would be on their world. It\'s not something small.
Alex was now sitting in the practice room, his eyes closed as he absorbed pure qi from the air. The room was filled with qi crystals to the brim, making it a good place to cultivate. Experience tales with m v|l -NovelFire
"It\'s time." Alex\'s eyes opened after a deep meditation.
They had done all they could, with no news from his mother. Alex also started feeling anxious. If something happened to her, no matter how logical the reason was, Alex knew he would always blame himself.
Alex stood and started cracking his body. He started stretching, feeling the explosive power hidden inside. \'Vesa, how is the situation at Edonia now?\'
\'It\'s quite peaceful. People are now busy with their education and work.
Construction goes full swing with all the materials you send, King.
As for the sovereigns, their loyalty is still questionable. I feel each of them still has their own agenda.\'
