Inside the secret bunker.
"uhh. I didn't expect the arlong to become so powerful in an instant"
"please don't move a lot, Mr. Ripe, the fuse will be removed!"
ripe who was previously dying against the arlong managed to survive thanks to the quick help of the hunter's medical division.
"mr Ripe, there's a hologram call from hendri graham"
"just get up"
hendri's hologram appears.
"how are you ripe?" ask hendri.
"was better.. "
"can we talk for a second? I promise it won't be long"
"just relax graham.. "
ripe sent all the nurses out..
"i'll get to the point"
"after you fell, Arlong tried to help the commander of the black elephant and on the way I passed by him, when there was a torga chasing him, torga threw me towards the arlong and ended up making my body split in half and fly high into the air"
ripe was surprised to hear that.
"have you met Torga?"
"yes, he's an asshole!"
"don't think like that graham. Look on the positive side, he believes you're capable of stopping the arlong, which is why he threw you without a second thought"
that doesn't make henry happy.
"there's one more thing I want to ask, is Arlong really that strong from the beginning or does he need a process to be strong?"
hendri recalled what he saw in the violet's memory of the monster wolf growing bigger and bigger.It was possible that the arlong in the wolf's sonilla was like that as well.
ripe answered Hendri's question "i don't think, just his size is getting bigger and bigger while his strength and speed are the same"
"that's right, that's a relief"
"by the way did you see his real face" Ripe asked hendri.
hendry remembered for a moment.
"no, I just saw the werewolf's face"
"ah what a pity if we know his true identity will be easier to beat him" said Ripe.
"the enemy commander will obviously not reveal his identity" hendri thought.
"thank you for your time ripe. I'm sorry"
"don't get split in two again graham, and don't forget to visit your grandfather and violet"
"grandfather! god, how could I forget Grandpa!"
"meet you, buddy"
hendri immediately turned off the hologram.
"haha. young man"
ripe called the nurses and asked them to attach a special infusion so he could walk.
"it's better you don't move Mr. Ripe first" a nurse suggested.
"calm down. I'm strong. I want to see things outside"
ripe opened the exit, surprised instead of playing when he found Torga behind the door.
"lord torga!"
"where are you going, Mr Ripe?" ask torga on ripe.
"i want to breathe fresh air.. "
"that's just your excuse"
"hahaa..you are indeed smart. by the way are you here to visit me?"
"yes, I brought you a hand from China"
torga brought his favorite Chinese food and Ripe received it with pleasure.
"sorry to trouble Mr. Torga. I accept yes.. "
"all right, see you, Mr. Ripe"
"you're leaving right away?"
"there's someone else I should look up to"
ripe was curious who the person who wanted to be visited by Torga because only he was the one who had a close relationship with Torga.
out of curiosity, Ripe joined Torga despite being banned by nurses.
after walking far enough past many tents they finally arrived at the very end of the tent from the west.
ripe being the eye knows who that person is.
"the rouge! black leaves branch head in india!" ripe said quite loudly.
"hold your voice, Mr. Ripe, we must keep the rouge identity a secret from the hunters"
fengying the butler was there to guard the rouge.
currently 4 former members of black leaves gathered in one tent belonging to the hunter.
torga aka hyunsu the traitor and former commander of the 4th division of black leaves, jacob ripe confidant torga number 2, fengying the Torga confidant number 1 and now there is a rouge head of the black leaves branch in India as well as serving as a hit man on the battlefield.
"near knows about this, right?"
"you have to hire a thousand people if you want to make near believe your lies"
"huhh." Torga felt pain in her blind right eye.
"sir ripe how's your wound? is it still sick?" ask torga on ripe.
"it doesn't hurt anymore"
"strange..why the scar of arlong on my body still feels pain until now. let alone the wound on my right eye this"
"probably because you are old, your endurance is also reduced" Ripe replied confidently.
"that's unlikely, because the torga lord is a nyarla.it's possible that the torga host animal cell caused an infection when exposed to the arlong claw" fengying theorized.
"huh.. "
"i feel guilty for throwing that new assault away"
"even if he survived, I've delivered him to death"
torga felt guilty for acting with Hendri.
"do you still want to see him?" ask ripe.
"no, she is not my wife lee yin" replied Torga with resignation mixed with disappointment.
"thank God, I can't imagine if Mr. Torga thought of graham as his wife" Ripe thought.
(don't think about ripe's words just now)
"why did you bring the rouge here, Mr. Torga?"
"he's a relative of the hydra"
"what! the hydra? did I hear wrong?" all who hear the name hydra are always surprised and shivering.
torga spoke of "hydra is one of the walking disasters hidden in black leaves.In comparison, hydra is much stronger than noir and may even be stronger than arlong"
"i deliberately saved the rouge because I didn't want to get in trouble with the hydra"
"but then don't we look like we're holding the rouge hostage?" ripe trembling.
"not really, Arlong threw the rouge away on the battlefield. The jerk knew I was coming from that direction and deliberately put the rouge there. I don't know what reason arlong threw it away, but clearly this arlong action will definitely make the hydra move"
fengying listened seriously to Torga's speech.
"it would be very dangerous if the hydra marked us as its enemy, because black leaves themselves could not fully control the hydra"
"if in the future hydra appears then it will be a more dire threat than an anti-matter bomb.I've given this information to near, so we're officially joining the hunter now"
ripe did not expect to hear the name hydra, as a result of which he was now subjected to considerable inner pressure.
hydra is a new enemy whose power is called equivalent to arlong, but what makes this person dangerous is he is a person who does not care about friends or opponents and always acts as he pleases.
I don't know how terrifying the hydra in the memories of these black leaves traitors.
meanwhile, elsewhere, Graham was helping to evacuate the victims of the war.
in the midst of his busy life, Hendri felt his eyes stung by something hot.
"what is this?"
"what's hunter graham?"
"all of a sudden my eyes were hot.. "
hendri covered his face, the heat felt hendri is not severe just as when our eyes look directly at the sun.
"what exactly is this hot master hunter?"
"perhaps it was the heat of the morning sun"
"morning sun.. "
"right, dawn is rising, it's so beautiful enjoy it while you can" said the hunter.
hendri looked for the source of the heat that was shining into his eyes, then spread out his hands.
slowly the land of warmth that could not be felt by his body began to return.the warmth as sunlight shone on the human body, slowly the hendri land can pass sunlight through its wooden skin and give warmth to its numb body.
"my senses begin to work again.Thank you, there's always a good thing after a bad thing"
"plus again, my eyes began to see shapeless rays"
"maybe one day I can return to my human form like a ripe"
"....."
