The Goddess Of War

Chapter 222 - Return to City C

The taxi they were driving was forced to stop in an alley some distance from Hunter's fifth destination, as barricades from the military stopped their vehicles.

However, the two soldiers who stopped their taxi in front of the barricade immediately trembled when they saw Gina Stewart disembark from the taxi.

Although Gina finally greeted the two officers kindly, the two soldiers trembled and lowered their heads, afraid that the SSS-ranked Hunter who had been expelled from City C was suddenly sadistic towards them, just like his partner did yesterday.

Especially when they see Kevin Jung coming out of another taxi while carrying an avatar hunter on his back. The two soldiers hurriedly opened the barricade without the Hunter-hunters asking.

They already knew that Gina and her comrades must have been going to the scene of yesterday's massacre. They also know that what Gina wants to meet is one of her colleagues, Miyuki 'the slaughterer'. That's the nickname Miyuki is now circulating in cyberspace, as well as in all major news columns in hundreds of countries.

Everyone who watched the live broadcast was initially confused by their own choices. People finally felt that the Nine Bears members seemed to really sincerely want to help close all the Dungeon gates after seeing what the guild had been doing on the African continent for months.

However, they also want to have an avatar hunter that is promised to be in mass production and will be given to anyone who wants to switch professions as a Hunter.

But, upon seeing what Miyuki did to the secret agents and one of the world's best Hunters in the live broadcast, everyone who witnessed it became very doubtful, he said, whether they should support the Nine Bears and 9 AM, or the American Association.

Some people say that Miyuki did it because she wanted to defend herself after getting slandered. Especially when he threatened to pursue his perpetrators, Li Wen Xia and Albert Brosman.

"Of course he killed them all. See how they are slandered until they are expelled from their own country." Speak to those who are fed up with the World Association system that considers them the truest and foremost in dealing with world security issues and the American Association as its implementers. In fact, people have begun to know that the political element within the Association is much stronger than the sense of justice they promote.

But, not a few people also scorn Miyuki and call her actions as a vile one.

"He did it because he wanted to keep the loot." That's what people say. This group were people who wanted to obtain an avatar hunter for free.

So, since yesterday's incident, social media has become very crowded with the topic of discussion.

•••

The National Security Agency, which is now taking over the security system in City C after the City C Association handed over the guards to the area, has also advised the special forces they stationed there that they should allow Gina Stewart and her comrades to pass by if they have arrived at the location.

That was why, automatically, the guard officer of the area where the massacre of the American Hunter Association immediately opened the way for Gina and her colleagues.

"Why is the military guarding this place? Where are the officers from the Association?" davina asked Gus, who was carrying the avatar also on his back.

Davina's question was immediately answered when she saw dozens of Association attendants filling the pavement along the road to the flower shop.

Along that path, they saw there were over 60 Hunter Associations kneeling all the way to the front of the flower shop building.

As they were walking to the flower shop, Davina approached one of the Hunters she knew, who was also kneeling there.

"Riko, what are you all doing here?"

Hearing her name being mentioned, Riko immediately looked up.

"V-vina..., can you help me?" pinta Riko with great hope.

Davina furrowed both eyebrows when she saw Riko's eyes that looked puffy.

"What's going on?"

Riko hurriedly took out a smartphone and handed it to Davina.

Davina immediately watched a video that apparently newly sent Riko's colleagues to her.

Looking at the contents of the video footage, Davina was about to vomit. He hurriedly returns the smartphone to Riko and steps away leaving her.

"Vina! Davina!" Riko shouted out a call as the young lady suddenly left her.

"I don't know you!" sahut Davina with a loud voice.

"..."

•••

Arriving at the group in front of the flower shop, they immediately saw a cute-faced girl with a flat facial expression, sitting alone behind a round table enjoying a bowl of instant noodles that became his lunch.

"You guys coming?" Miyuki said, looking at Gina who was still confused by what the Hunters were doing along the way. He did not stop with Davina, although he also knew Riko.

Gina is more curious about Miyuki's condition, who still doesn't want to take her phone calls.

"You okay?" gina asked, instead of being angry, even though she was upset with Miyuki at the time.

The question made the fellows who came with him look at Gina with lazy gazes.

"What kind of question is that?" thought Kevin Jung.

°°°

Gus Stevin sat first on one of the empty seats of the 3 empty seats that were around Miyuki's desk, after he placed Miyu's avatar on the seat next to Miyuki's.

He then took one of the 4 canned drinks on the table and drank them straight away, then returned the can to the table with a little rough.

Sipping her noodles, Miyuki glanced at Gus who was also looking at her.

"You... Why are you hiding your powers?" ask Gus at last.

As he saw how Miyuki could defeat all of her besiegers so easily, he felt very sorry for already in vain worrying about the girl. Gus almost cried when he thought Miyuki would be the same fate as Ren and his best friend, Liu Gong.

"I'm not hiding it."

"Then, why are you fighting with an avatar?"

"I'm kind of disgusted to get exposed to blood directly."

Gus averted his gaze, staring at Jordan's already blackened and rotting corpse. His gaze then turned on Brandon Lloyd's shattered body. He also saw Kenichiro Tanaka who had fainted. And lastly, look at Fred Watson's headless body lying just anywhere on the sidewalk.

'He said disgust with blood after doing all that? And he could also eat casually in the presence of those two corpses?'

"I'll only do it when pressed." Miyuki said, as if understanding the meaning of Gus' gaze on the people who had fainted and the corpses on the terrace floor.

Gus didn't respond. He only returned Miyuki's gaze in silence while snorting in annoyance.

•••

"What slime is on top of this guy's corpse is Keisuke?" tanya Gina, who was approaching Jordan's corpse immediately after seeing Miyuki looked fine.

Jordan's corpse, which had been contaminated with poison from Keisuke's meat slime, smelled very foul and looked disgusting.

Miyuki nodded slowly as Gina looked at him.

"I don't know if he killed Mr. Stewart and Mr. Wang. I just found out when I saw the way he died." Miyuki with a sorry look. If he knew that Keisuke was the killer, he would definitely torture Keisuke just like the way he tortured Jordan.

"What would you do if you knew he was the killer?" ask Kevin.

"Well, I'm probably gonna kill him slowly."

"..."

"What's with your look?" protest Miyuki, seeing the irritating look from Kevin.

"Are you a psychopath?"

"Do I look like that?"

Kevin was silent for a while, before returning to speak. "Why are you hiding your powers? Don't give the same answer you gave Gus. That doesn't make sense."

"I'm not hiding it. It's just, there's nothing emergency that I have to handle myself."

Kevin Jung kept quiet while remembering if there were any emergency events that had happened to them and Miyuki let him?

There is only one, while in the Fiji Islands. But back then there was only Miyu's avatar there. But, Miyuki also fought hard using an avatar that was less powerful than Anna's strength, even though Anna was fighting just relying on her physical strength.

"Ah.., right too.." muttered Kevin, as he finally recalled the incident of the dungeon break in City C first.

It was when the gate of the ancient dungeon broke that the animals could not be destroyed. Miyuki asks him to keep the avatar and he says that he will come to the scene.

Had Anna not come back then, Miyuki might have settled the situation.

"But..., are you really able to defeat Li Wen Xia?" ask Kevin again.

"I'll look for him in two days. I'm still waiting for someone here."

Sighs...

Kevin then stared at the corpse without going to the nutmeg near his feet. "Where's his head?" kevin Jung asked after he looked around but did not find Fred's head.

"I threw it in the trash. You can look for it if you want to see it." Miyuki said, pointing the chopsticks in her hand at a trash can in front of the shop door.

"You're a complete psychopath." Kevin ends up going to the trash can to get Fred's head.

Kevin then unites Fred's body and Jordan's body, then burns it.

After doing that, Kevin put his hands together in front of his chest, then lowered his head while closing his eyes.

"Why do you pray for those criminals?" ask Davina who just arrived there.

"I was praying for Ren to calm down there." Kevin stared in annoyance at Davina.

'Why do they always think strangely of me?'
