One Punch Hunter

Chapter 13 The Man Behind the Scenes

"Thank you for your help today. What do you call me?"

The store manager's body was wrapped in thick bandages. The sharp spikes of the scar pierced his lower abdomen. Although the Awakened One himself has a strong healing ability, such a serious injury still made him extremely weak.

"My name is Bai Ye. You don't need to thank me. I just don't like to be disturbed by others while eating."

By this time, Bai Ye was full. The waiter had already come over and cleared away the cups and saucers in front of Bai Ye, and placed two cups of good tea on the table.

Moreover, the waiter's eyes when he looked at Bai Ye also changed a lot.

It was awe, and fear!

In such a place without any order, the worship of the strong will become even stronger.

"No matter what, I still want to thank you for saving many of my brothers today. However, I hope you leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you are targeted by 'those people', I'm afraid you will be harmed."

The store manager's tone was quite sincere.

Bai Ye took a sip of tea and asked, "Who are the 'those people' you are talking about?"

Bai Ye had a pretty good impression of this store manager.

Meat, vegetables, drinks and tea were all extremely rare luxuries in this era.

Because the land in the central city is too scarce, it is not even enough to build a house, let alone grow vegetables and tea.

The daily food of most ordinary people is nutritional supplements, which are nutrients extracted and synthesized from the meat of wild beasts or zombies, which can only meet the most basic nutritional needs of humans.

Also, it tastes very, very bad.

Therefore, the price of tea is higher than that of meat and vegetables, making it a veritable luxury product.

The store manager was willing to treat himself to tea, and his attitude was evident.

The store manager replied: "As far as I know, the people behind the scenes are the young masters of two big families. There is also a B-class hero from Silver Watch involved."

"The son of a big family? The second generation of officials or the second generation of rich people?" Bai Ye asked casually.

"This... should all be involved. Big families have big businesses, and there are some forces on both sides of politics and business. But having said that, in a place like this, the real big shots look down on it, and the second generation who are just starting out will be tempted. ”

After the store manager finished speaking, he shook his head helplessly.

"B-level heroes, are they very powerful?" Bai Ye asked.

The store manager smiled bitterly: "Your joke is inappropriate. A B-class hero is equivalent to a three-star hunter. A second-awakened awakener, that is no joke."

"To be honest, any awakened person with some skills has already joined the Hunter Alliance or Silver Watch. How can they make a living in a place like this?"

"In this world, if you want to live with some dignity, you can only become a hunter or join the Silver Watch."

"As for money and power? Haha, it's worthless in the face of real power."

"In the eyes of B-level heroes, our desperate efforts are just as ridiculous as wild dogs biting each other."

After the store manager finished speaking, he shook his head helplessly.

"Don't you have any helpers? I heard that in your place, there is an awakened person named [Ye Xiao]." Bai Ye asked.

The store manager shook his head: "In a place like this, it's a naked fight between the weak and the strong. As for Night Owl, he is the king of the entire underground neighborhood, but he will not stand up for us."

"Why?"

The store manager sighed softly and said: "Because to him, only those who win are qualified to continue to survive here. As for the losers, he doesn't care at all."

"He is not our patron saint."

Bai Ye tapped her fingers on the table, thoughtfully.

"So I say, you'd better leave as soon as possible. Scar will definitely not give up. When they come back next time, they will probably bring that B-level hero with them."

"Besides, you must have been resented by them. I'm afraid they have already planned to cause trouble for you."

The store manager said somewhat helplessly.

"How about I help you persuade these people?" Bai Ye looked at the tea cup in his hand and said casually.

The store manager was a little surprised. He quickly understood that Bai Ye's "persuasion" was definitely not as simple as words.

However, the store manager has also seen Bai Ye's strength. Even though he already knew that the opponent had a B-level hero, Bai Ye still wanted to step forward, which meant that he was very confident in himself.

Thinking of this, a glimmer of hope arose in the store manager's heart.

"How much do you want?" the store manager asked anxiously.

The most common second-awakened person is a B-level hero in Silver Watch, but in the Hunter Association, he is a three-star hunter.

No matter what, the Second Awakenings are already the best among human beings. If they want status and power, if they hire such people, the price will definitely not be low.

Those two rich kids were willing to spend a lot of money to hire B-level heroes, but the store manager couldn't afford that much money.

Bai Ye thought for a while and said, "Get me an invitation letter for the hunter assessment?"

The store manager was stunned.

"What, isn't it difficult?" Bai Ye asked.

"No, no, no." The store manager waved his hand quickly, "On the contrary, this thing is not difficult to get. It's just that it's not that valuable. You took such a big risk and you lost money."

Bai Ye smiled: "It doesn't matter. For me, the difficulty of these two things is not much different."

At the same time, in a mansion in the villa area of ​​Hanhai City.

"Oh? You mean the other party has helpers?"

On the sofa in the middle, a pale young man raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling a little surprised.

"Yes." Scar knelt on the ground, looking at the three people in front of him, not daring to breathe.

His right arm had been simply treated, but if he wanted to recover completely, he had to undergo extremely complicated surgery and rest for a long time.

Scar naturally hated Bai Ye, but he also knew that he couldn't afford to offend this young man!

The three people in front of him were Li Qiuze, the third son of the Li family, Du Junchu, the seventh son of the Du family, and the B-level hero in formal wear.

The pale young man was Li Qiuze, who was 22 years old this year. Although he was young, he was flawless when doing things. He was a strong contender for the head of the Li family.

And the cynical yellow-haired man sitting next to him was Du Junchu.

Speaking of which, the power of the Du family was much greater than that of the Li family, and Du Junchu was the youngest son of the family, and was extremely favored, so his personality was quite arrogant.

There are more and more big families, and their power is getting bigger and bigger. This is also the inevitable result of the end of the world.

In this era, survival resources are extremely limited. If you want to grab limited resources, you must stick together.

And blood relationship is a natural and unbreakable bond.

Therefore, the clan system, which has almost disappeared in modern society, is slowly revived.

What's more, the genes of the awakened also determine the genes of the offspring, so "bloodline" has become a topic that people talk about frequently.

Sitting next to these two young men is a man wearing a white tuxedo and a silver mask. His age is hard to tell.

He is the B-level hero in Silver Watch, the gentleman in suit.
