Chapter 218: Chapter 189 The Concentration of Bad Women and Bad Men_3 Chapter 218: Chapter 189 The Concentration of Bad Women and Bad Men_3 Freyja’s eyes lit up, “Then—”
“But according to the law, people from the Exotic Realm should all die.”
The Hunter’s hand rested on the hilt of his sword, his voice suddenly turning cold. Selena seemed to sense the icy killing intent and cowered in fear in Freyja’s arms.
Freyja wanted to run, but her legs had already gone so weak she couldn’t move, and not kneeling down was already consuming the courage left to her by the Cult Leader.
“This Blood Moon, is it really … so barbarically cruel?” Freyja closed her eyes, “Perhaps I should have left with them back then …”
“Interesting,” the Hunter chuckled, “Even if I don’t kill her, she won’t be able to survive. The foster care won’t accept a person from the Exotic Realm without a chip implanted; it’s illegal for ordinary people to foster a minor, and she possesses no ability to live independently. Although the Kingdom of Blood Moon is vast, there is no place for her.”
“I will take care of her.”
“Even if I don’t arrest you, can you really assure that you’d hide her well? Your neighbor, your landlord won’t discover anything? Your goodwill is commendable, but your actions are merely an impulse.”
“So are we just supposed to watch her die?”
“There is another way.”
The Hunter suddenly reached out and snatched the doll-like girl from Meiwa’s hands.
“That’s for me to take care of her.”
Freyja was stunned; she exchanged glances with Adela, the two well-informed female graduates having the same thought—alchemy!
“Don’t misunderstand,” the Hunter seemed to know what they were thinking, “I’m usually busy with work and hardly ever home; I will probably hire someone to look after her. If you wish, you two can also come and look after her, and at the same time monitor that I don’t mistreat her.”
“Aren’t you afraid someone would report you?”
“Not afraid,” the Hunter smiled, “because I am a Blood Frenzy Hunter, not a powerless college student.”
Meiwa wanted to say something, but then her friend softly called out, “Freyja.”
Freyja turned to Adela and saw fear and pleading in her eyes. Her heart trembled, knowing she couldn’t be wilful anymore and couldn’t drag Adela into the Vortex because of her stubbornness.
Freyja sighed and asked, “But I still don’t understand, you’re not only a Blood Frenzy Hunter but should also be from the Blood Saint Clan, right? Adopting an underage person from the Exotic Realm has already violated numerous laws … why are you doing this?”
It was common knowledge in the Kingdom of Blood Moon that the Blood Saint Clan held the laws in the highest regard, and the Moon Shadow Clan was the kindest. However, the Blood Frenzy Hunter before Freyja utterly shattered that perception—he dared to actively trample on the rules set by the Extreme Master of Blood Moon.
“Yes, why do this … I am also looking for an answer.”
The Hunter’s tone was somewhat elusive, “Maybe it’s because I know the Blood Saint Clan has its limits, so I need to transcend Blood Saint. Or maybe … it’s because I was enchanted by that man.”
He looked at the puppet-like girl he was holding, “Kid, I’ll be your guardian from now on, won’t you introduce yourself?”
Selena looked quite distressed; she had barely managed to enchant that foolish woman, and once settled, it wouldn’t be difficult to manipulate her to re-establish the Four Pillars God Sect here. But this man was much more challenging to deal with, and Selena faintly felt that, although he was looking at her, his gaze was chasing some phantom he knew not of.
Damn it, first it was Ash Heath, then this Hunter; why is the density of bad men tonight so high?
“Selena Bright,” she said tremblingly.
At that moment, the Blood Moon broke through the clouds, and the crimson moonlight illuminated the Hunter’s weathered face and his grey hair.
“I am Gerard Westminster, Hunter ID 307791,” the Hunter said, “Pleased to meet you, Selena. I have a feeling we will get along just fine.”
