How to become a full-time hunter
Chapter 42 The whole story
It's not that Lu Man didn't want to listen, but he was almost unable to suppress the injuries in his body. If he didn't leave, he might be discovered.
After insisting on returning to his residence, Lu Man called Zhang Jia Ruo and told him not to let anyone get close.
"Big brother, are you okay?" Seeing the little boy's concerned expression, Lu Man patted Ruo's head and chuckled, "It's okay, don't worry."
The moment he closed the door, he finally couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Not daring to delay, Lu Man quickly meditated and recuperated.
Not long after, Sheriff Jack came back, "Ruo, has that adult come back?"
The little boy shook his head. "Big brother, no."
"Oh?" The old sheriff made a gesture to push the door.
"Oh, big brother said that there are important things in his room, and asked me to keep an eye on it. If anyone goes in, report to him in time." The little boy blinked his big eyes.
"Is that so." Sheriff Jack silently retracted his hand, "I have something to explain to him. When big brother comes, you can tell me, okay?"
"Okay!" The little boy nodded.
The old sheriff smiled, shook his head and walked away.
Zhangjia Ruo finally relaxed. When the old sheriff was about to push the door, he was startled.
——————
"Old man, I'm happy to see you back alive." Ed looked at the old sheriff in front of him, stretched out his hands and hugged him tightly.
"Hahaha, it's all thanks to the young hunter." Jack sat down. "If I can't come back today, what will you do?"
The old dean's hand trembled slightly, and then he scratched his bald head. "I, of course I will continue to run the hospital and pretend nothing happened. Until..."
"Until?"
"Until that fat man gets sick! As long as he comes here, I dare to cut him into pieces on the operating table!" Ed said excitedly.
"So that's it... I thought you wouldn't resist..."
"How could it be! What can an old thing like me do to get close to the fat man? I can only wait. As long as I live long enough, I can avenge you!" Ed gritted his teeth.
"It's all over. The fat man is dead, and I'm fine." The old sheriff sighed.
"That hunter is very strong?" Ed lowered his voice?
"Yes!" Jack also lowered his voice. "Very strong, as soon as they met, the invulnerable fat man fell to the ground and died!"
"Besides, I suspected that there was a master behind the fat man before, and it turned out to be the case. After the hunter killed the fat man, he went straight into the house."
"Then what?" The dean asked cautiously, he didn't go there today, so he was very curious.
The old sheriff swallowed his saliva, his eyes drifted, as if he had returned to the scene.
"Then, then there was a fierce fighting sound from the house, like an explosion, holes appeared on the wall from time to time, and finally the house caught fire."
"The most amazing thing is that when the hunter came out, except for some blood on his shoulder, there was no other scar!"
"Tsk... The hunter is really worthy of his reputation." The old dean sighed. "Oh, where is the hunter now?"
"He must be with Zhangjia Ruo." The old sheriff laughed. "When I visited just now, the worry in the kid's eyes couldn't be hidden, hahaha."
"That hunter didn't completely trust us." The old dean also laughed.
"It's human nature, especially when I told him that we are willing to be his people." The old sheriff laughed very happily, his eyes completely slitted.
The dean was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed. "You are really an old fox, and that's right, this should be the best way out for our town..."
The two smiled at each other.
Dongdongdong, there was a knock on the door.
Jack looked at the dean, who also looked unaware and stood up to open the door.
Click, the door opened.
"Is it really okay for you to discuss this behind people's backs?"
Lu Man asked with a smile.
The two old men were startled and stood up quickly. "Hunter, we didn't..."
"Okay, now tell us what's going on?"
Lu Man sat down casually, tapping the table with his ten fingers.
Invisible pressure enveloped Jack and Ed. Although Lu Man just sat there quietly and did nothing, they felt like they were carrying a mountain and even had difficulty breathing.
"Mr. Hunter, it's like this." Finally, Jack was the first to break the silence.
"The Toteli region was not as desolate as it is now. The town was still full of peace."
"Later, the extreme ideas of the NGL Autonomous Country became more and more serious, and the originally loose system of the Mitnie Federation was close to collapse. We were gradually abandoned because of the high mountains and remote land."
"The wealthy residents have already moved away, and the remaining townspeople are getting poorer. You can also see that several towns have basically no infrastructure at all. Even the police station is barely run by us independently."
"Gradually, I got old and could no longer control the young police officers under my command."
"A few years ago, Fatty suddenly appeared. He was the one you saw not long ago. He has been staying in his mansion and not going out, but he has secretly won over a group of people."
"Because Fatty is too strong, we can't do anything. This place is originally remote and poor, so that group of people can do all kinds of evil, including robbery!"
"Didn't you report it to the higher authorities?" Lu Man interrupted.
"Above? Where is there above? No one cares about places outside Xiangha City. For the country, Xiangha City is the outermost border. They don't care about our lives at all!"
"A few years ago, some aspiring villagers held rallies and planned to resist Fatty, but they ended badly, and gradually they stopped resisting."
"Oh? Weren't you prepared to resist before?" Lu Man tapped his fingers on the table a few times.
"Hey...", Jack sighed. "At first, I thought it wouldn't be a bad thing if someone ruled here. If Fatty is strong enough, fortunately, the town will still have a chance to develop."
"Later, I found out that I was wrong. He never thought about the small town, so I wanted to overthrow him and make up for the mistakes I made!" the old police chief choked.
‘What exactly does Mask want to do? ’ Lu Mann was a little confused. "He has never left the house? Did he make any requests?"
"Yes, he has basically never left the house. The requirement is to send him enough blood every month, any kind of blood will do."
'His behavior is indeed abnormal for leaving his sister alone and taking control of the town without showing up. ’
Lu Mann thought seriously, 'But he did die in the fire. If the house has secrets, it will be necessary to go there again after the fire has stopped. ’
No one dared to interrupt Lu Mann's thinking.
"So, you want me to be the lord here?" Lu Man asked after taking a long breath.
"Yes." Dean Ed nodded.
"I refuse! Hunters will not interfere in the politics of any country." Lu Man shook his head.
"No, this has nothing to do with politics. We are not rebels, and we will not raise the banner of a new country. This is a land without one," the dean continued.
"And there is no need for you to do anything specifically for the town. We are still in the Totley area. As a lord, you can collect taxes." The old sheriff added. "Even though we are very poor here, we may not be able to collect much."
