Apocalypse After

The Expected Person

“Juru talk? What do you mean?”

Hearing Alexander's words, Gery looked puzzled. Come to think of it, it was most likely the job of the person who became the right hand. Whether it was talking or doing things for the young man.

When thinking of Samuel who was just an apprentice hunter, Gery frowned. The young man might look handsome and quite flashy. However, inside Gery's head ... Samuel was still just an unknown person. His strength need not be discussed anymore.

Too weak to count.

Gery doesn't know how strong V is. However, from the results of observations and scattered information about his fighting style .. V is most likely a level 2 hunter.

‘For what level 2 hunter who has the skill to make potions is looking for an unknown hunter apprentice? Could Samuel have a secret? A secret treasure or something like that?’

Gery's brain thinks very fast. However, in the end he still could not find the head and tail of the matter. It felt too random and confusing, so he wished he could get an answer right out of Alexander's mouth.

“Nothing, Gery. It was nothing more than the business I did with you,” Alexander replied casually.

“That just makes me curious! Could there be an important secret in it?” gery whispered with a gossipy expression.

“This is not so important. If you want to know, you can sit while listening to the conversation of the two of us. By the way ... that person has come.”

Hearing Alexander's words, Gery turned his head. Samuel's figure walked into the area somewhat within the bar with a puzzled expression on his face. Even so, it seemed that his injuries had already improved after three days of rest.

“Because that person has come, we will talk about it next time,” Gery said.

“Do not want to stay to hear our conversation?” alexander asked kindly.

“Don't insult me, V. I may be an alcoholic and a woman, but I'm quite a professional in business. I still have business ethics,” Gery said in a serious tone.

Gery, the Grey Jackal got up from his chair. He looked at the approaching Samuel then looked at him from top to bottom seriously. When he found nothing, the man could only sigh and went to see the beautiful women to forget his curiosity.

“Sit.”

Alexander invited Samuel to sit down. He himself did not stand up to say hello, only looking at the young man calmly. Not in a hurry at all.

“Are we going to talk about business here? In a crowded place like this?” samuel asked doubtfully.

“Yes. Why do you think the bar is preparing a seat in a quiet corner location between all these crowds?

Of course because it can be used to talk about more secret things. So a quiet and inconspicuous place can still make money for them.”

Hearing Alexander's words, Samuel nodded. Whether it was right or wrong, the man did not care. What he cared about was the reason why Alexander wanted to invite him to do business.

Seeing that Samuel was silent and waiting, Alexander opened the conversation.

“I heard you came from a low-level shelter? Which one?”

“Does it have anything to do with this business?” Samuel frowned.

“Not completely true, but can affect it.”

“I am from Shelter 1008,” Samuel replied.

“Although what you use when fighting is the basic movement using a sword, but it is not done randomly. It seems you have training. From whom? Is it family? A fella? Elder in shelter?”

Samuel's eyebrows are getting wrinkled. Than ‘work’ interview, he feels he is being interrogated. Not to mention, it seemed that the mysterious figure in front of him was digging so deeply. Observing it so closely that it was hard to lie.

“I don't think this has anything to do with our business, V.” Samuel refused to answer.

Alexander nodded lightly. But still continue the question.

“Do you have a family? Daddy's? Mammy? The sister? A sister? Or maybe the people in shelter 1008 that you care about?”

“...”

Hearing the question, Samuel felt somewhat angry. It was just that he did not dare to act rudely in front of that powerful mysterious figure.

Alexander nodded lightly. Although he did not get an answer directly, but Samuel's expression had already answered some of his questions.

Hearing Alexander's words, Samuel's eyes widened and his pupils shrank.

“You .. how you-“

Samuel got up and was about to grab Alexander, but the man's wrist was immediately grabbed and tightly gripped.

“...”

Despite saying nothing, Alexander's gaze made Samuel regain his sanity.

At the sight of the red eyes behind the mask staring at him like demons watching him from the shadows, Samuel's back was drenched in cold sweat. Feeling the grip on his wrist becoming weaker, he returned to his seat.

“If you know where I come from, you shouldn't have to talk about it and go straight to the point,” Samuel said with a depressed expression.

Alexander had not known Samuel before. He also does not know his personal information. However, from the conversation he knew some important things.

Samuel was from Shelter 1008, a low-level shelter where poverty and hunger were worse than the middle-level shelter. In such a place, eating and drinking was extremely difficult. Life is hard and always on the edge of despair.

Samuel was supposed to be trained by an elder who was either his grandfather or his friend's grandfather, and that person was already dead. Moreover, it was impossible for him to obtain that many potions in such a place (low circlet shelter) alone. So, that person should have some precious friends helping him and be considered like brothers.

Alexander's words and Samuel's powerful response made the young man even more convinced that his guess was correct.

Alexander knew that there were enough such cases. Good people help each other, trying to put their hopes on the most talented. Sending that person away as a last hope in order to bring back prosperity for them. Just like a hero who grew up from nothing, then came back to save his hometown.

Alexander heard quite a number of such cases from the mouth of his late grandfather. Only, is the end of the ‘hero’ is good? The answer is that most are divided into three endings.

First, the person turns out to be selfish and ends up severing his relationship. Growing up by being a criminal. Keep trying to take advantage of people and eventually find the wrong person, then get killed.

Second, the man failed because he died in his struggle. In the end the people waiting for him also ended tragically.

Last probably most beautiful for that ‘hero’. Yes ... he managed to become a hunter, but the time was too long that people failed to be saved. However, at least he was still able to grow and live well.

Happy ending ... Alexander only heard it from a fairy tale, but hardly ever heard of such a case in real history.

“As I said. If it takes too long, you will be late. So I'll make an interesting offer.” Alexander looked into Samuel's eyes. “Work me, and I'll help you become hunter.”

Hearing Alexander's words, Samuel's pupils shrank again. After a while, he calmed down. A few moments later, he replied.

“I don't want to be tied.” Samuel shook his head. “Rather than following you, wouldn't it be better to join Blood Cross?”

“Of course it's very different.

If you follow the Blood Cross, you will become safer but grow a little slower. You can be a hunter with contribution points, but the numbers are rather minimal. In addition, your tasks are quite tight, so you can not go home to ‘kampung page’ even if you want it.”

Samuel continued to nod while listening to Alexander's words. What the young man said was correct. Most ordinary people who joined a large guild did end up like that.

Indeed, the end was good enough, but it was still not what Samuel wanted.

“Then, how different would it be if working for you?” ask Samuel.

“I will also use contribution points. The difference is, the mission I gave you is very random. Moreover, his rewards could only be exchanged for different types of potions.

It may sound less interesting. However, there are quite a lot of bonuses if you work for me. This job is not permanent. You can go straight after becoming a level 1 hunter and there is no need to continue to be tied to me.

The more diligent and good you completed the task, the faster you became a level 1 hunter.

No need to wait three or four years. At most almost two years, at the earliest you can go up less than one year.”

Hearing Alexander's words, Samuel felt he was being persuaded by the devil. Although not covered by the mask, he felt that the figure in front of him was smiling towards him.

Just then, another whisper rang out in his ear.

“So ... are you interested in working under me, Samuel?”
