1691 A Failed Vile Person (1/2)

Edited by Aelryinth

The sky was slowly lighting up. The Salamander Demons floating on the surface of the lake were diving into the water. Most Salamander Demons preferred to show up at night; the surface of the lake would glitter like it was covered with pieces of copper under the moonlight.

When the dawn broke, most of the Salamander Demons would leave, allowing boats to travel across the lake once again. The Salamander Demons were relatively slow compared to many Warrior-level creatures; it was effortless to shake them off when traveling across the lake quickly enough. Their numbers were significantly higher, so it was easy to be surrounded by them.

Mo Fan waited patiently for Little Flame Belle to bring Lu Zhuo and Jiang Hua back to the Minghu Outpost. Gu Ying and the Flying Creek Snow Wolf arrived afterwards. They were in a pretty bad spot. It felt like they were struggling to even keep their eyes open.

Gu Ying briefly explained everything that had happened. Mo Fan subconsciously glanced at Lu Zhuo, who was terribly burned by Little Flame Belle.

”Oh, I see. I was wondering how I should explain to Lu Zhuo that Little Flame Belle actually meant no harm,” Mo Fan murmured after realizing the truth.

Yang Ning was utterly shocked. How bold was this Lu Zhuo to do these things when he was under the lead of a Seven Stars Hunter Master? Was he not afraid of being punished by the Hunter Union?

Yang Ning recorded the information in detail. She immediately contacted the Hunter Union to send someone to investigate the matter.

The investigators came pretty quickly, arriving at the outpost by noon. They took Lu Zhuo into custody and started investigating by interrogating Jiang Hua first.

To speed things up slightly, Mo Fan asked Apas to inject Jiang Hua with terror. The man told the investigators everything Lu Zhuo and he had done without any hesitation.

”I'm sorry that something like this has happened under our jurisdiction. We will deal with this Lu Zhuo right away,” an investigator said.

”Did you bring back the people that were drugged on the island?” Mo Fan asked.

”We've recovered them back safely. Among them, an Advanced Hunter called Li Yumei says she wants to expose Lu Zhuo's crimes. She has requested a meeting with you in person,” the investigator told him.

”Alright, bring her to me,” Mo Fan agreed.

When Li Yumei came, she looked terrible, as if her face was painted with a layer of lime. Perhaps she never thought she would have a chance to open her eyes. She had fallen asleep in the grips of great terror.

Li Yumei soon confessed how their negligence of duty had cost the lives of the Cangjin Hunter Squad. She also told Mo Fan everything that Lu Zhuo had told her.

Mo Fan was initially not that interested in Lu Zhuo. He had seen far too many scum, and this Lu Zhuo was only a mere feather compared to the others, but his eyes flickered menacingly when he heard that Lu Zhuo was one of the first people to discover the fake blood serums!

”I thought he was just scum, but he's nothing but trouble instead!” Mo Fan glanced at the bound Lu Zhuo.

He was rather curious why he kept stumbling into scum like Lu Zhuo wherever he went. It was similar to how pure and innocent girls always ended up meeting playboys!

”You can say whatever you want, but you shouldn't be too pleased with yourself. It's only a matter of time until your crimes are exposed too! The blood that your hands are stained with, and the corpses your feet are stepping on, I'm afraid more people are going to despise you!” Lu Zhuo snorted stubbornly.

”Are you cursing me?” Mo Fan asked.

”So what if I am?” Lu Zhuo laughed. His laughter was sinister, as if he was trying to preserve his final hint of dignity by exposing the kind of person Mo Fan was under his disguise as a Seven Stars Hunter Master. He wanted everyone to know that Mo Fan was no different from him!

”I've built a little hell for lunatics. Mmm, you barely meet the requirements, but if you are thinking of cursing me, you should line up and ask for a number. It should be your turn after ten thousand years,” Mo Fan said.

Mo Fan was amused by Lu Zhuo's intentions. He seriously had nothing to say to a person like him. He still had to deal with the Great Salamander Demons; he did not want to waste any more time on Lu Zhuo.

”It looks like I'll have to get my hands dirty still. Hopefully, those Contribution Points I've spent aren't in vain… Zhong Li, are you awake? If you are, bring me to the Cave Island. Your analysis should be on point, the Great Salamander Demons are most likely there!” Mo Fan called Zhong Li over.

”I'm here, I'm awake, Brother Mo Fan...oh, Master Mo Fan, I, Zhong Li, am at your service!” Zhong Li seemed very excited.

Mo Fan arranged for a few people that were familiar with the terrain to be his guides. He decided to let the investigators and Yang Ning deal with Lu Zhuo instead.

After Mo Fan left, Yang Ning was extremely displeased by Lu Zhuo's attitude. She seriously did not understand why a vile person who was guilty of monstrous crimes dared still cause a scene.

”How ignorant,” Yang Ning harrumphed coldly. She was obviously saying it to Lu Zhuo.
