Apocalypse After

Professionalities

“Thank you for approving my request, Al!”

Aurora looked happy. The woman immediately wrapped her hands around Alexander's neck. However, immediately let go of her because her actions were a bit too intimate.

Aurora then immediately broke free from Alexander's embrace. He then stood in front of the young man with a sincere smile on his face.

“For what is too happy? Even if I help, it does not mean the success rate reaches 100%.” Alexander said in a flat tone.

“Do not make such pessimistic comments,” reply Aurora dissatisfied.

“Better we be careful and be realistic. Besides, why did you choose me? At the same price, you can rent a large group right?” ask Alexander.

“Of course there is a reason.

First, they are not necessarily trustworthy.

Second, they could have betrayed at the end and turned around to attack viciously.

Third, they are large organizations and are not suitable for missions like this. If they did attack such a large family, Blood Cross would not stay silent.

Lastly, in terms of confidentiality, you are better than them.”

Hearing that, Alexander nodded lightly. He propped up his chin then said in a flat tone.

“That means, actually I don't have much advantage over them. However they have a lot of loopholes, so you choose a more secure method.”

“It ... I mean ..” Aurora was a bit nervous.

“It's okay. That's reality. I am not yet comparable to such a large group. That's a realistic option, so you don't have to feel nervous or guilty.” Alexander looked indifferent.

Aurora took a long breath. At first, he thought Alexander would be angry because of his remark. That made him worry. After all, the young man was difficult to talk to let alone compromise when he was angry.

“Are you not angry?” aurora asked doubtfully.

“No. Why should I be angry?” Alexander tilted his head.

“Good.” Aurora smile. “Because there's nothing to talk about, then I'll be back. It's very late, less a few hours before dawn.”

“Wait.”

“Is there anything else?” aurora asked with a puzzled expression.

“Live here tonight,” says Alexander flat.

Aurora's surprised. The woman was silent in her place for a moment. Only then did he nod with a red hue on his cheek.

The next morning, in one of the beautiful safe one-circle residence.

Melissa who was wearing a simple but clean and neat dress walked calmly towards the dining table. There are some bread, bacon, fruit, and juice.

The woman sat in her chair and began to eat her food in silence. In contrast to the innocent and cheerful expression he usually displayed, now his expression seemed so indifferent.

Just like most of the hunters in this world, Melissa also had her own cold attitude and selfishness.

‘Those people are getting rampant. Really sucks.’

Melissa frowned as she thought of some of her brothers and sisters. He himself did not hate them so much, but also did not like them too much. However, their hostile attitude blatantly made him feel displeased.

‘Is approaching a free hunter the wrong choice? Could those people (free hunters) underestimate me because I'm a girl?’

Thinking of the fact that enough free hunters supported her two siblings made Melissa even more dissatisfied. Despite eating enough food that no one else could eat, the woman felt unappetised. But still spend the food because it knows it should not be wasted.

After finishing her breakfast, the woman suddenly called out loudly.

“Uncle Jacob!”

Moments later, a burly man walked into the room. His body was almost two meters tall, his body was like a bodybuilder, and wore a mask that covered his head like a wrestler.

Unlike the strange mask on his face and his muscular body, Jacob himself wore formal and neat clothes. It really contrasts with his body shape.

“Did you call me, Miss Melissa?” ask Jacob.

“The more days Rei and Juan become more and more annoying. They started acting like they were the head of the family. The two boys made my eyes hurt. Do you have any ideas to deal with them, Uncle Jacob?” asked Melissa flatly.

The woman leaned on her chair with an indifferent attitude. Seeing his appearance where there was no need to cover up his true nature clearly showed that he trusted the middle-aged man. Not only as a servant, but also his right hand.

“In my opinion, your idea is already very good Miss. It's just that, the society still had ancient thoughts. They are still patriarchal, thinking that men are better than women. Although many women have become strong hunters like the Big Lady, but it is still a minority.” Jacob said in a soft tone, not in keeping with his fierce appearance.

“No. They didn't seem to care much about the man. However, if you may know, why do you care so much about her, Miss Melissa? He is definitely not from a big family. In addition, even though his talent is decent, it is difficult to reach new heights if it becomes such a free hunter.” Jacob looked confused. He did not understand Melissa's thoughts at all.

Hearing Jacob's words, the atmosphere became silent. Melissa closed her eyes. The woman recalled the silly man who accidentally saved her. Although he did not have a good background and his attitude was a bit frivolous, but he knew that person had a good heart.

After refraining from smiling, Melissa said.

“That's none of your business, Uncle Jacob.”

One week later.

In a dark alley of circle five, a man wearing a dark green robe walked unsteadily. He wore a somewhat strange mask and always looked left and right with a watchful expression.

“Those damned people!” muttered the man with a hoarse voice.

He continued walking, seemingly wanting to go to the entertainment venue to change his dark mood. Having just passed through a dark alley and almost reached where many entertainment houses were, the man was stunned.

Not far from there, two very beautiful women. His body was not thin at all, even looking very healthy. Looking at the iron necklace on their necks, the man's eyes twinkled.

In this place, many people opened entertainment houses with slaves as servants.

“Beautiful woman, why do you guys seem confused? Is it separate from your master?”

“This ..” The woman looked nervous. “T-Master we open a new entertainment venue. We were asked out to find customers, but we don't know how to do it.”

Seeing the plain look of the woman, the man licked his lips. Looking at the two women who were almost similar but quite different in age, he was sure that they were both two sisters.

“Where is that place? You can take me there. Maybe I can be a regular customer.”

“Really, Sir?” ask the younger woman with sparkling eyes.

“Of course it's true!”

The man walked over and was about to grab the woman, but his helping hand was avoided.

“Sorry Sir, our Master asks us to be vigilant. In a place like this is prone to kidnapping, so we don't know if the other party is a customer or not.”.

The woman nodded, then muttered softly. “Was that person really able to pay for it, Sister? Master said that our place is only for the rich and strong.”

Hearing the woman's murmur, the man was instantly enraged.

“Who are you looking at low?! I come from a high-ranking family of Shelter 11, how could it not have money!” the man shouted while pulling out a large pouch and shook it.

The woman immediately bowed and said, “Excuse our rudeness.”

“Hmph!” The man snorted coldly. “Take me to where you work. I want to see who dares to doubt my wealth!”

“I-It ... Please follow us, Sir!”

The two beautiful women then guided the man towards a narrower alley. It was still in the entertainment area, but the place was in a quiet and somewhat dark outskirts.

“How can you take me to this place? Are you guys trying to trick me?”

Realizing something was wrong, the man immediately shouted with a dissatisfied expression. He looked towards the two women. Feeling that they were just ordinary women, the man became confused. However, at that moment he suddenly felt a twinkle.

Jem!

Not yet able to respond, a long dagger pierced through the neck from right to left. Penetrated the flesh and damaged his throat.

The man immediately responded by pulling out the sword and swinging it. However, he could not see anyone at all. The man immediately took out a dagger that stuck it and threw it aside.

Feeling that his vision was blurring, the man realized that he had been poisoned. He then saw the figure that attacked him. The figure of a black-robed, black-masked man who showed one red eye.

The mysterious figure sat standing no more than two meters in front of him. Like a ghost that suddenly appeared just like that, completely undetected.

“You ... who are you? Who rules you? How much? Tell me, and I'll pay you more!”

The man nearly collapsed and had no energy to fight back. Before his gaze darkened, he listened to an unknown voice whether it was male or female.

“I'm sorry. It is not a matter of price .. but professionalism.”

After listening to those words, his consciousness completely disappeared.
