Chapter 115 – Bounty Hunter (1/2)

Ch 115 – Bounty Hunter

“You are the Lei family’s second young master?” Hu Jiong asked with wide round eyes.

Inside Lei Yu’s heart, there were still some things he rejected. “You can call me Lei Yu or you can call me young master, but please don’t add the Lei family along with it.”

Knowing everything Lei Yu did in the Kou country, a sense of reverence could not help but rise from Hu Jiong’s heart towards this person who was younger than him.

“Young master, how did you know the skull on the wall was not of the cattle species and actually from mutants?” Hu Jiong was extremely puzzled; it has already become bones yet was it that obvious?

Lei Yu slightly grinned before putting on his signature smile. “Upon looking at this skull, it’s relatively small. If someone looked at it, they would assume it was a calf’s head. But remaining in the skull is a trace of essence that I could detect. And not only that, I also know you are a Fourth Order Warrior, is that correct?”

“Yes, that’s right!” Hu Jiong could not help but admire this young master.

“I would really like to know what’s going on with mutants here because in the Kou country, one of them escaped. You could say that he and I have a blood feud, and I came to the U.S. solely to look for him. Therefore I hope you can give me some information.” Lei Yu proceeded back to his seat and sat down.

Hu Jiong nodded his head. Facing Lei Yu, there was no more need to hide anything. For someone like Lei Yu, any Tenglong citizen would revere and respect him, let alone being face to face with him. Hu Jiong actually felt somewhat uncomfortable since he never thought that he would actually be so close to his idol.

“I receive rewards by performing services for a guild. They are responsible for intelligence gathering while I am directly responsible for capturing or killing them. Afterwards, I would then go back to the guild and receive the reward money. As for how the guild specifically operates, that I’m not too clear on. I’ve also never overstep my boundaries and asked further questions on mutants or any other transformed species because there’s no benefit in knowing too much. But if the young master needs to understand the current situation here, how about I take you along to the guild tomorrow when I accept my new mission? What do you think?” Hu Jiong tentatively asked. As a high-profile young master above many, Hu Jiong’s question was somewhat redundant and silly but why would Lei Yu care? As long as he can find the clues needed as soon as possible, there’s nothing Lei Yu wasn’t willing to try. Not to mention Lei Yu was unfamiliar with the occupation of being a bounty hunter, he too was interested in how things worked.

“Then it’s decided, I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning. Oh yeah, don’t tell your sister about my identity, it’s best to keep this confidential.” Thinking about it, Lei Yu was afraid of any misunderstanding so he then said: “But it’s most likely that I will never see your sister after this so it doesn’t really matter I guess.”

Hu Jiong appeared to understand and nodded, “I understand.”

Lei Yu left and returned to his hotel. He never thought that only coming to the U.S. for two days and he would already find some clues. This was thanks to Xin Er bringing him along to see Hu Jiong. If it weren’t for Hu Jiong, wanting to find a mutant in this large city would definitely be a huge headache.

As to why Hu Jiong would leave home and go to the U.S. to become a bounty hunter, Lei Yu had no interest to know. Especially since this was someone’s private matter and there’s no reason for him to find out. But the way he was living here didn’t seem to make him look too well off. If Hu Jiong was to return to Tenglong country with his strength, then the country would surely be treating him with importance. Someone with the strength of a Fourth Order Warrior would be regarded as one of the top experts already.
