The Story of Demon Hunter

Greedy People

One week went by.

In an enclosed space with many lanterns lighting up and incense smoke billowing, five people sat around a table.

“Garden of Death refuses to sell the thing to us.”

One of the youngest-looking figures among the five said in a flat tone. At that moment, the atmosphere became calmer. After a while, another voice came back.

“Is the cost we provide less? How much did they ask for?”

“Not that the problem.” The man shook his head.

“Then what do they ask for instead?”

“Garden of Death has absolutely no intention of selling it at any price.”

Hearing that, the room went back to being quiet. There was only the sound of heavy breathing where some people were holding back their emotions.

“Could they have known the function of the item?”

“Should not.”

The figure of the man in his late twenties shook his head. Looking towards the four elders sitting in front of him, he had a playful smile on his face.

“Stop messing around! Don't you know how important that thing is to our clan?”

An elder kicked down the table with an angry expression on his face. In response, the man simply shrugged his shoulders. Seeing the situation getting heated up, he retorted casually.

“Not everyone in the Garden of Death knows that it can be used to suppress evil spirits and control them. But one or two people should know the function, and those who now carry it.”

“What do you mean?” ask an elder.

“Garden of Death opens division 10 after a long time not adding division. According to the information, the leader of the group is quite optimistic with the chairman of the 10th division. Only, since it had not been formed for long, the members of the 10th division were only two people, one 2-star gold level and one 6.” level silver level

“You said they completed a mission against three gold-level evil spirits and that damned girl? Impossible!”

“I didn't say that, Old Man.

According to the data, it seems that division 6 had appeared around the area.”

“Division 6? The arima? The man dubbed ‘The Strongest Cultivator of the next generation’? Why would that person appear in a place like this?” An elder asked with a puzzled expression on his face.

“Of course to recruit the chairman of the 10th division. Besides, I think the reason why the village was successfully solved was because of Arima's help. Merely, that fellow did not take advantage and let his junior get the result.

Like a good Senior taking care of his Junior.”

“You mean ..”

Seeing the shocked expression appear on the faces of the four elders. The man smirked then said with a look of disdain on his face.

“Because the boy refused to give it. We'll take it ourselves. We should teach him courtesy ..”

“Let him respect older seniors and be aware of the way the world works!”

Meanwhile, at the place where Arthur and his comrades were.

“It's very rare that you receive a mission with a happy expression on your face, Boss.”

Seeing the happy expression on Arthur's face, Jotaro immediately felt suspicious. He felt that the condition of the young man was not at all as usual.

Arthur immediately denied it. Even so, the smile on his face could not hide his excitement at all. He had not expected at all, just one week of rest, there was a mission offer related to the evil beast.

Moreover, the enemy did not seem to be so strong, suitable for Jotaro and Lily for training. While he himself of course chose to be ‘supervisor’ who will act if the situation is out of control.

“Arthur, is it still far away?” asked Lily with a plain expression.

“Are you tired, Lily? Of course the journey is still far away, we just left the city. If you want to travel more comfortably, you should immediately learn the flying techniques I teach.”

“I understand, Arthur.” Lily nodded obediently. The girl then tilted her head. “Joi can't fly?”

“Uhuk! The flying ability could only be done by a gold-level cultivator to the top, Lily. Joe is at silver level, so can't do it.”

Hearing that, Lily looked at her own hand while counting slowly.

“Bronze, silver, gold .. so?” ask the girl while tilting her head.

“...”

The corner of Jotaro's lips twitched. If she didn't know Lily's brain was nearly empty, she would have thought that the two were acting out to mock her. Also, somehow Jotaro felt the level of silver he was proud of back then now felt so weak.

Jotaro is not wrong at all. Only, he was in a place that was less suited to him. One of them was a short female similar to a little girl, but was 40 years old. While one was a monster with a strange talent that could reach the level of gold before the age of 20. Even if he had good talent, he himself was late in cultivating. It took some time before breaking through the gold level.

‘One year ... I will try my hardest to break the gold level in one year even if it kills me!’

Unhappy to be the weakest in the group, Jotaro swore inwardly. In addition, he also still holds a grudge against Chikuwa the akita inu who beat him. For some reason, such pressure made his spirit even more burning.

Just then, a voice interrupted Jotaro's thinking.

“Take it easy, Joe. There's still plenty of time. You're a little late, so it's natural to be a little delayed.”

Hearing that, Jotaro was surprised. He immediately replied firmly.

“Take it easy, Boss. I know my own weakness. You don't have to comfort me. This kind of thing doesn't make me give up at all.”

“Good if you are not discouraged.”

They continued to talk while continuing their journey.

Just like before, Arthur looked like a swordsman even though his face was not disguised. Jotaro still looks like a bald hermit with a full body of muscle. Only, now plus one more member, Lily who looks like a fragile little princess. Carrying a red umbrella with an empty expression on his face.

Really a very striking appearance among many people.

A few hours later, Lily was unable to walk. He seemed to be regretful, but his poor and untrained physique could no longer be forced. Seeing the girl who had forced herself to her limit, Arthur nodded in satisfaction.

When Lily got tired, Arthur pulled out a flying sword. The three then continued on their way riding flying swords. The reason why the young man didn't do it straight away was obviously because of Lily's physical training. Once the physique is trained, there is no harm in using additional tools to travel.

Seeing Lily sitting on the tip of the sword while feeling the breeze with an interested expression on her face, Arthur shrugged. He then glanced towards Jotaro.

“Take it easy, Joe. Not only Lily, I have also prepared training for you.

I know that you feel quite frustrated at being left behind. But you can be sure, with the training plan I prepared, you will definitely develop quickly.”

“BOS!” jotaro said with a look of surprise and respect, seemingly touched by Arthur's kindness.

Seeing Jotaro's expression, Arthur simply raised his thumb. Convince me that everything will go well for everyone. Of course, he wouldn't say that ...

Only he was the most benefited by this training plan.
