The Dragon Soul Forging

87. The Morals I Have

“Bos?.”

Siti stared in surprise when she saw Budi back. He thought that the shopkeeper would not return because of the work in the construction area.

“There is something I need to do in the workshop. Just continue your work.”

Budi immediately headed for the basement where the furnace and laboratory were located.

As usual Budi can feel the sharp gaze of the Hunters, but this time there are different that some of the shop visitors are military members.

Although they do not wear uniforms, Budi can distinguish them because Budi has recorded all the details of the city residents and immigrants in his brain memory.

'I guess why are they watching this place?.' he thought.

You want to go into the back room where the stairs to the bottom floor are. But someone suddenly called out to him.

“Do you own this gun shop?.”

I turned around to see who called him. He saw a man with glasses approaching.

His loud words made everyone pay attention to him. Budi only saw the person at a glance, but he instantly lost interest.

“Yes it's me, is there anything customer sir?.”

But Budi is still trying to be as good as possible to his customers.

“I just wanted to ask how you would be responsible with the weapons you sell if later used to injure or even take the lives of others?.”

A very difficult question for an arms dealer. Budi opened his shop to sell various equipment for the Hunters.

In the hope that he could help many people more easily and safely while fighting monsters.

But he could not confirm whether those who bought the goods from the Asongan store as he expected or not.

The words of the bespectacled man were so loud that the attention of the Hunters was on Budi now. They were waiting for the young man to give his answer.

“That's the dumbest question I've heard this month.”

The look on Budi's face turned bored. While the bespectacled man frowned.

“Did you also ask something like this to a cookware merchant including a kitchen knife?.”

The question of reply from Budi made the attention of Hunter who directed at him turn to the man in glasses.

But the man's face was full of confidence as if he had expected Budi to say that.

“You want to equate a gun shop like this with a general equipment store? It's obviously very different. Weapons sold here are too dangerous if sold freely.”

The man spoke with excitement.

“You should have some kind of special certification to sell weapons, so that those who buy weapons from this store do not use them to commit criminal acts.”

He was very excited in his speech. But Budi felt sleepy hearing it, he yawned when the glasses man finished with his words.

Seeing that certainly made the glasses man feel irritated.

“You know, I have obtained permission from Mayor Yuki to sell weapons in this city. Do you think that's not enough?.”

“Of course it's not enough. You should have certifications from authorities like the police and military. Not only the shop owners but also the Hunters, it is impossible not every person who is not clear what kind of nature and then allowed to hold a weapon!.”

The gazes of the Hunters instantly became cynical as they knew the direction the glasses man was talking.

He wanted every Hunter to have licensing requirements from the authorities if it wanted to have a weapon.

It's a reasonable idea, but it means the Hunters will be in police and military control.

The Hunters who were mostly common folk felt that they would return to a time when a monster disaster had yet to occur.

A time when everything has strict procedures due to complicated rules. A rule that is made not to simplify but actually complicate.

It was as if they were deliberately encouraging the citizens to use the back road.

“Such a thing is none of my business, and this place is also not the right place for you to convey your brilliant ideas.”

“So that means you don't care if someone uses the weapon you sold to kill someone?.”

“That's right, I really don't care what they're going to do using the weapon I made.”

Budi said while pointing at the Hunters. The statement made the state of the store so quiet.

Everyone does not understand what you think.

If ordinary people will certainly show empathy even if it is just a lie, with the aim of getting a positive image from people around him.

But Budi did not do all that, he was so arrogant as if he did not care about the thoughts of others about him.

“Because I keep answering your questions, what if now I ask and you answer?.”

The man's gaze became sharp as if trying to find out the contents of Budi's head.

Seeing the intelligence spoken Budi said made the bespectacled man think the question he would ask must be very difficult.

He also began to feel anxious.

“How do you prove if you used your gun correctly not to do something unlawful?.”

The eyes of the bespectacled man instantly widened, then he suddenly laughed out loud.

“Ahahaha...what is it?, Of course I can be sure if I will not use it to harm others.”

“How do you make others believe?.”

“That's because I was...”

His words stopped as if he realized something. Hunter became curious about the identity of the glasses man.

The full gaze of anger he aimed at Budi, his teeth tightened as if he could not stand the sudden overflowing emotions.

“Because of you? Who are you?.”

Budi encouraged the man to reveal his true identity. But of course the bespectacled man will not do that because he can get big problems from his superiors.

“Yes whatever, I don't care either.”

Ignoring the man with glasses, Budi also entered the other room that has stairs to the basement.

While the Hunters in the shop were still curious about the identity of the bespectacled man.

“Who the hell is that guy?.”

“I've never seen it before.”

“He has a firearm, surely he is not an ordinary citizen.”

“Could it be the police?.”

“Because he looks foreign, I think he is part of the military force.”

“Previous he said if every Hunter is required to have certification from the authorities.”

“I suspect if the certification will definitely need a lot of money to get it.”

“Ahahaha... isn't it just because they want rations?.”

The conversation of each Hunter can be heard by the bespectacled man. Humiliated, the man left the store with an enormous anger at the owner of the Asongan store.

Siti who saw the man's departure immediately reported to Yuki.

He also gave a video of the conversation at the store he recorded to his employer.

Since then the Hunter's confidence in the police and military has diminished little by little.
