Chapter 165 (2/2)
“He’s a demon hunter.” Bluphlei was still a little dazed. “He even drew his rune card and crossbow… What’s going on here?”
The two werewolf elders tried to break free from the demon’s crippling spell. Their strength was remarkable. They recovered and got back on their feet in just a few seconds despite still feeling a little wobbly. It seemed that their Dark Fog magic would be rendered useless for a while.
Nangong Sanba sat still on the floor, his body felt as fragile as a tofu. Obviously, his strength was below the two werewolf veterans. Y’zaks noticed it. He removed the spell from Nangong Sanba or else he would likely struggle to get rid of it. As the spell was removed, Nangong Sanba staggered to his feet and breathed heavily. “I’m a demon hunter but… I’m on your side.”
The two werewolf elders were of course, flabbergasted.
“Everyone, sit down. Vivian, switch off the ‘air-conditioner’. The food is getting cold. Elders, please put down your claws, you’ve scared the child.” Upon seeing that the crisis was averted, he let out a sigh of relief and ushered everyone back to their seats. After Bluphlei and Blushedt sat down with a sense of confusion still in their head, Hao Ren began to formally introduce Nangong Sanba. “This is Nangong Sanba, brother of Nangong Wuyue. He’s not living with us but, still counted as one of us in this shelter—umm, he’s a peripheral member.”
Hao Ren’s chief concern was alleviating the fear in the two old werewolves. He conveniently gave Nangong Sanba a peripheral membership as cover, knowing that Nangong Sanba would not object—he would be torn to pieces because of his demon-hunter identity.
“A peripheral member…” Bluphlei glared at Nangong Sanba, sizing him up before turning his eyes to Nangong Wuyue. “Brother of the siren…how? How could it be possible?”
How could it be possible? He could not wrap his head around it.
Hao Ren thought for a moment, looking for a cover-up story. “We have members from all over the world. And we have our own men in various organizations.”
His voice was solemn and his face was like that of a guy from the old Shanghai Triad. Of course the old werewolves did not buy the story but, what they saw was confusing. Their expression was filled with marvel and disbelief. “Unbelievable! No one has ever infiltrated the world of demon hunters before. That’s impossible! The incubus tried to invade the minds of the demon hunters and they failed before the whole race was slaughtered. The mind of the demon hunters are as solid as steel!”
“We’re not talking about mind control here.” Hao Ren patted Nangong Sanba on the shoulder. “He has been our man since 100 years ago. He has received advanced ideological education since day one and he’s well-versed in the concept of the great unity of the world…”
Vivian kicked him under the table. “Spare the crap. Get to the point.”
“In short, he’s our man. And you don’t need to know how.” Hao Ren spread his hands. “Let me tell you, even though our shelter’s small, the fact that we’re able to establish an outpost in the midst of humans is telling….”
The two old, senior werewolves kept nodding. “That’s one hell of an ability!”
