The Bounties looked up.
"OI, WE’LL HIT HIM WITH OUR DAGGER!" the leader of the Black Thorn party shouted to his mbers.
"YES, CAPTAIN!" the mbers shouted.
They simultaneously threw black daggers. Galio easily dodged them all by stepping back.
"Damn it!" the black thorns leader grumbled, looking up.
The leader turned to his mbers.
"Let’s go straight to the rooftop and attack together!" the black thorns leader said.
"Okay!" the mbers replied.
The entire party ran towards the building where Galio and Qyuan were.
"We can’t lose either!" the Black Mamba leader said.
The entire black mamba party shouted and imdiately ran to the sa building.
One of the Bounty Hunters, ranked 18th in senior rank, looked at all the bounty hunters who weren’t participating in the hunt.
"LISTEN TO ! I just rembered that mask belongs to the Squirrel Squad, and they’re one of the Squirrel Squad mbers—wanted by illegal squirrel at sellers—their mbers are worth $20,000, and their leader is worth $850,000—dead or alive!" the 18th-ranked senior bounty hunter shouted.
At that, all the bounty hunters shouted excitedly.
"What’s with all that shouting? It’s so noisy" Qyuan said, who was walking toward Galio.
"Qyuan... You take care of the people who want to go up... I’ll take care of the rest" Galio said seriously.
"Okay, leave it to !" Qyuan said enthusiastically.
Galio smiled, then climbed the parapet, took a breath, and dove down like an eagle about to prey on its prey.
"BOOM!"
Galio landed on top of a large, 17th-ranked junior bounty hunter. The bounty hunters imdiately fell silent and looked at Galio.
The atmosphere was silent—but Galio didn’t imdiately stop. He imdiately ran and cut down the bounty hunters one by one. He also jumped over them—using their shoulders, heads, and chests as stepping stones.
Galio was a man who didn’t hesitate to kill people. Qyuan, on the other hand, preferred to dismber his targets—intending to kill them slowly and agonizingly.
"THUD!... THUD!... THUD!" ca the sound of the bounty hunters trying to break down the entrance.
"Uwah~... the door looks so hard to break down, I wonder how much the owner of this building bought it for?" Qyuan muttered with an expression of awe.
"I should just open it... So we don’t have to pay for the damage, hahaha" Qyuan said with an awkward laugh.
Qyuan started walking toward the door, opened it, and imdiately jumped back as the bounty hunters charged at him like tigers charging at their prey.
The bounty hunters were already in front of Qyuan. They were carrying various weapons, and they chuckled at him.
"Kehehehe, I finally found one of the Squirrel Squad mbers—the one who ssed up my clan’s marijuana plantation!" the leader of the Black Mamba party—Rindu said with a grin.
"Eh? Which one?" asked Qyuan with a stupid expression.
"THE ONE IN JAMBI JUNGLE, OI!" shouted Rindu.
"Oh, so that’s it—that’s not good, you’re turning the elephants’ hos into marijuana plantations... Poor thing, the elephants are being driven from their hos" Qyuan said mockingly.
"To hell with elephants—they’re just big, brainless creatures—they can find another place to live" Rindu said with a grin.
"Haa-aah~... As I thought, selfish humans like you don’t understand the feelings of other creatures" Qyuan said.
"Co on, don’t talk too much... so we can quickly behead you" the Black Thorns leader—Gasitnya said.
Qyuan began to pull the Black Mandau with his right hand.
"Go ahead, let’s see who’s going to be Lego!" Qyuan said with a smirk.
The bounty hunters imdiately ran towards Qyuan.
anwhile, Anindya’s side.
"Who called you?" Anindya asked.
"Qyuan," Lia replied, putting her phone in her right pocket.
"I assigned Qyuan and Galio to guard that area last night" Lia continued.
"Then... why did we co?" Anindya asked.
"Lady Anindya, they’re just ordinary humans, they could die at any mont... That’s why we have to help them," Lia replied.
"If Julian were here... he would definitely help them. You should learn from your boyfriend, Lady" Lia said.
"Umph! Don’t bring Julian into our conversation! I miss him now!" Anindya said with a sullen expression and tone.
"Ahahahaha," Lia laughed.
Anindya turned her face forward, crossing her arms over her chest, and pouted even more. Seeing that, Lia stopped laughing and looked back at Anindya.
"Never mind, the point is... I just have a feeling that a powerful bounty hunter is heading their way" Lia said.
Back to Qyuan and Galio.
"AKHH!! IT HURTS!!"
"MY RIGHT HAND! THE BLEEDING WON’T STOP!"
"AKHH!! I CAN’T FEEL MY LEGS!!!"
Rindu’s mask slowly fell off his face as the strings snapped.
"Haa... Haa... Haa..." Rindu gasped as she looked at the dying bounty hunters.
"Khek!" Qyuan cried out in pain as his right and left arms were pierced by poisoned daggers.
Rindu looked at Qyuan.
"Hehehehe... E-even though I had to sacrifice my right wrist... But at least I managed to attack you with my clan’s poison" Rindu said with a proud and weak smile.
"If it weren’t for the Black Thorns leader’s sacrifice... we would have lost" Rindu thought to himself as she stared at the Black Thorns leader, whose body was covered in stab wounds from Qyuan’s swords.
"Tch!"
Rindu imdiately took out a bandage from his right pocket and began quickly wrapping his wrist.
"I managed to kill a few of them... But I didn’t expect them to cooperate so well" Qyuan thought to himself.
"The only ones left are my party mbers—and there aren’t many of them alive" Rindu said anxiously as she looked behind him.
Qyuan quickly pulled out a syringe from his right pocket. It contained a liquid Lavendina had made to neutralize the poison. He then injected it into his right arm and began removing the daggers from both arms.
"W-What kind of injection is that!?" Rindu asked with a shocked expression.
Qyuan felt his body instantly reenergized. He turned his head, then his right arm, then his left. Qyuan clenched his fists.
"Yup! I’m energized again!" Qyuan said excitedly.
"Tch, Damn it, everyone ret—" Rindu grumbled.
"WHOOSH!"
Suddenly, Qyuan appeared at Rindu’s right, his black mandau poised to slash Rindu’s neck. With a shocked expression, he slowly glanced at Qyuan.
"Bye bye—" Qyuan said.
"BANG!" the sound of a bullet flying from a distance.
With his keen hearing, Qyuan quickly ducked. Unfortunately, the bullet grazed his right shoulder.
"Tch!" Qyuan grumbled.
Qyuan quickly took cover against the exit wall.
"Test! It’s , Tinkel, Young Master" Tinkel said into earphones.
Rindu began to distance himself from Qyuan, who was hiding.
"OHH! HAS MY BIG BROTHER ARRIVED?" Rindu asked excitedly.
"No, his deputy has arrived" Tinkel replied.
"Tch!, That guy" Rindu said irritably.
"Hey, you guys, quickly join Brother Asu" Rindu ordered her remaining mbers.
"Yes, sir!" they replied.
anwhile, at Galio’s side—at the sa ti as the sniper fired.
A smoke bomb was thrown, and Galio quickly climbed a long iron pipe belonging to a cafe. All the bounty hunters below imdiately fell asleep from inhaling the smoke, even the people descending to the lower floors fell asleep.
"Sleep bomb?!" Galio thought to himself with a suprised expression.
Galio stared ahead.
"Hmph! I thought soone scary was coming... Turns out they’re just illegal marijuana growers, huh?" Galio said with a faint smile.
The Black Mamba guild had arrived, dressed in sleek black suits and carrying various weapons, so of them wearing hats and goggles. The vice-leader of Black Mamba—Fierce Asu—stepped forward.
Asu blew out a puff of smoke from his cigarette.
"Phew~, so you’re the ones guarding this area... How lucky, we were also hunting you" Asu said coldly.
"Hmph, it’s an honor for us to be hunted by a rank 10 guild," Galio said arrogantly.
"But I didn’t expect you to put your allies to sleep" Galio continued.
"Hmph... they were just a hindrance, and we wouldn’t give our prey to anyone else anyway," Asu said arrogantly.
"Then let’s get started!" Galio said.
Galio jumped, and the black mamba mbers took the initiative to run with their weapons towards him.
Back to Qyuan’s side.
Qyuan held his injured shoulder and looked at his bloodied palm.
"This is no ordinary bullet... The only bullet that can penetrate a bulletproof vest is a Crimson bullet" Qyuan thought to himself, warily.
"That bullet can also penetrate steel, I have to be careful," Qyuan continued to think.
"Now, I have to find where the bullet ca from" Qyuan continued to think.
Qyuan tried to peek.
"BANG!" the sound of the bullet traveling fast.
Qyuan took cover in panic.
"Now, Young Master" Tinkel said.
Rindu ran quickly towards Qyuan’s hiding place, throwing his poisoned daggers. Qyuan quickly dodged. Rindu didn’t stay still either, drawing his small sword—the Crimson Parang.
"CLANG!"
"NOW, Shoot him!" Rindu said.
"I know!" Tinkel replied.
"BANG!"
Qyuan quickly pushed Rindu and stepped back. Tinkel didn’t let Qyuan retreat, and shot again.
"BANG!... BANG!... BANG!"
Qyuan also quickly dodged, but was still outpaced by the bullet’s speed, resulting in him being hit in the right abdon. Finally, Qyuan managed to return to his shelter near the exit.
"Damn, I have to hold them off until help arrives" Qyuan muttered.
"As I thought, you guys won’t be easy to defeat at close range" Asu said, looking at Galio standing around Asu’s fallen mbers.
"Hmph! Of course, even though we’re not a guild, we’re stronger than you," Galio said arrogantly.
"Tinkel!" Asu said to Tinkel.
"Yes, sir!" Tinkel replied.
"BANG!... BANG!... BANG!"
Galio quickly stepped back, fortunately the smoke from the bomb had cleared.
"Sniper? Where did that co from?" Galio wondered.
"BANG!... BANG!... BANG!"
Galio dodged again and took cover in a narrow alley used as a garbage dump.
"BANG!... BANG!... BANG!"
"If this is the case, I have to run fast and attack the boss directly," Galio muttered.
Just as Galio was about to leave, suddenly—
"THUD!" the sound of a sword piercing Galio’s right abdon.
Galio was shocked, then Asu ordered Tinkel to stop shooting. Galio slowly looked back, his eyes widening as he saw the leader of the Great Orca guild—Orcinus Le Arya.
"You can’t do that, you should die by my hands... Not by a lowly guild like theirs" Orcinus said with a grin.
Orcinus Le Arya was the leader of the Great Orca guild—a guild ranked 7th, while the leader himself is ranked 6th among the seniors. Orcinus was 180 cm tall, weighed 53 kg, had long black hair down his back, black eyes, and dark circles under his eyelids. The guild had a small mbership of only around 300, and their territory was on Untung Jawa Island. They operate using tactics. When in action, they usually disguise themselves as mbers of their enemy.
