The Story of Demon Hunter

Employed

Finished conducting the interrogation, except for Arthur who whistled with satisfaction, everyone's expressions completely looked dark. Unless Arthur left immediately, the rest immediately reserved a room for discussion.

According to the information they got, it turned out that the person behind the attack was the first prince, the older brother of the third prince who was now on his way with Michael and Sam. The reason why that person was targeting the third prince was of course the most classic and simple reason.

Yes ... crown prince's seat.

While the reason why Arthur was so happy was obviously because he got a full payer from the third prince. Moreover, he was also not involved with such royal affairs. So, in the end the young man could be considered a winner because he did not get a loss.

The name of the third prince is Taiga means tiger (tiger). Even so, Arthur felt that the prince even resembled a cowardly cat. It was not that he hated such behavior, but the young man preferred to stay away from him because usually such characters were often faced with problems.

Taiga is the favorite son of the King of Sakura Kingdom. His father sent the man on a secret mission: to go to the birthday of the princess of the Fuji Kingdom in secret, and strengthen their relationship so that the two kingdoms could become closer.

Unlike the larger and often conflicted Sakura Kingdom or Ume Kingdom, the Fuji Kingdom itself is more neutral. Rather than competing with the other two kingdoms for resources, they were now still troubled to take care of the kingdom from the evil beings.

While in the other two kingdoms, of course there are still many demons, monsters, and evil spirits there. But occasionally the royal party will ask for help from the big sects with enough pay. Although the task of cultivators was to clean up the evil beings, if told to choose with benefits or without benefits, they would naturally choose the latter.

The benefits were of course not all money, but also some precious items for cultivation that were unintentionally obtained by the kingdoms in their region. Sometimes they also fought to obtain a territory full of resources. Not only to train his own soldiers, but also to sell them to the sect either for money or in exchange for protection.

In essence, the two kingdoms seemed to want to make an alliance with the Fuji Kingdom. Taiga was sent by the Sakura Kingdom, and there must also be representatives from the Ume Kingdom. The reason why Taiga came was to show sincerity. But the first prince did not want Taiga to succeed and make his brother's prestige even higher. So he sent his best subordinates to eliminate Taiga.

It's just that, the mission is destined to fail because they accidentally bump into (meet) Arthur.

If they had not met him, it might have all ended differently. Taiga will obviously survive because Michael and Sam are also strong, but most likely the third prince will still be injured because Michael and Sam will be preoccupied by many troublesome silver level assassins. Yes ... it's only if.

After he finished discussing with Taiga and his colleagues, Michael immediately met Arthur who left after getting paid.

Looking at his best friend who was drinking while angry at the other passengers, the corner of his lips twitched.

“What are you doing, Arthur?” michael asked with a wry smile on his face.

“Did you not see it yourself? I obviously wanted to eat and drink quietly but they actually kept looking at me like they were looking at a rare primate! I really want to poke their eyes with my fingers!”

“...”

Michael could only stare at his best friend with a helpless expression. He clearly knows Arthur's strange temperament. Sometimes it is hot, sometimes cold, so easy as the weather in a certain country where it is not concerned with the destruction of nature due to pollution that increases the temperature of the earth and disrupts the weather.

“Prince Taiga wants to talk to you, Arthur.”

Arthur looked at me. He immediately frowned while asking.

“Does he regret giving you more bonuses? You must know, right? Since the bonus is already in my pocket, I can't possibly return it!”

“Do you think Prince Taiga is short of money? Besides, haven't you gotten a lot of supplies from the sect?” michael said with a dark expression on his face.

“Just like you who admire women, be it humans, demons, evil spirits, or even female monsters ... Me, Arthur, never felt the excess of money at all!”

“WHAT IS A FEMALE MONSTER?! WHAT KIND OF MAN DO YOU THINK I AM, ARTHUR?!”

“So demons and evil spirits are still ok?” Arthur raised his eyebrows.

“Uhuk! That, shouldn't we see them first?”

Will you accept or reject it?”

Hearing that question, Michael immediately wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. Gritting his teeth, he then said.

“What is a beautiful demon, a sweet evil spirit, and a charming fox monster? Miku is the best!”

“...” Hearing the big words of his best friend, Arthur fell silent.

Meanwhile, the people who eavesdropped on the conversation instantly changed their expressions. Those people clearly did not understand at all what the two young men were talking about because ...

Such talk may never be spoken of by a normal human being.

“FORGET! JUST MEET PRINCE TAIGA!”

Realizing that he was talking too much, Michael immediately dragged Arthur who was still holding a sake bottle and a small porcelain cup in his hand. Truly dragging the young man away from the location in front of the shocked eyes of many.

***

In a closed and quiet room, Arthur sat cross-legged on the floor drinking. A few meters in front of him, there was Prince Taiga who was sitting with a straight back and a serious expression on his face.

“What do you think, Mr Arthur?” ask Taiga.

“Hah? What?” Arthur replied in a reckless tone.

“I know that you don't want to be bound, but what we do is a transaction. I hire you and pay you, just like a mercenary. Of course, the fee I mentioned will certainly satisfy you.

Your job is to protect me. As long as I am safe and do not suffer heavy injuries, your payment is like this. Whereas if you can help me complete the mission well, you will get a bonus like this.”

Seeing Taiga's signature, Arthur was stunned. He knew that the prince was easy-hearted, but did not expect that he was too generous. But at that time the young man did not accept it. He tightly gripped the small porcelain glass with a reluctant expression then said.

“Ugh! Really less lucky!”

“Sorry?” Taiga looked confused.

“If you hire me before or the next few months, I will be happy. But right now I can't accept your request. Now I'm being hired, so I can't accept another job.” Arthur shook his head.

‘That may be contrary to my work,’ added Arthur inwardly.

“Month-month? How much that guy pays you, Mr. Arthur. As long as you are sure can help me complete the mission, cost anything-“

“Sorry! It's not about money or glittering things, Prince Taiga.”

Arthur looked towards Taiga with a serious expression. Sipping the wine calmly, the young man sighed then continued.

“It's about a promise that has been made by a man.”
