Chapter 536: Chapter 534: Master Red Beard

"Indeed, it is Master Red Beard!" the bald boss swallowed and said to Wen Wen.

"This old inn is under the protection of Master Red Beard, and your presence is tacitly approved by the Hunter Association. You’d better not do anything irrational."

Faced with the bald boss’s threat, Wen Wen was not annoyed but rather curiously asked, "I am very curious about this Master Red Beard. Can you tell me more about him?"

Since the bald boss used Master Red Beard to threaten Wen Wen, it meant that Master Red Beard had a certain reputation nearby. The only way Wen Wen could learn about him at the moment was through the bald boss.

Rangers have high privileges, but they only receive comprehensive information about supernatural-related incidents when they are assigned a mission.

Wen Wen instinctively felt that Master Red Beard could be very useful to him.

The bald boss had at least two or more Superpower Items, and he referred to him as a master...

Master Red Beard might just be the Craftsman Wen Wen had been seeking, capable of creating Supernatural Weapons!

And since Master Red Beard was willing to protect such a haven of filth, he surely was no good thing. Wen Wen could just capture him and put him into the Sanctuary.

The Sanctuary had been lacking Craftsman Monsters for more than a day or two now; heaps of monster materials filled several warehouses.

The spirit of the Superpower Material would diminish over time. For individual materials, it might take several years to weaken significantly, but with so many materials piled together, the daily total loss was extremely displeasing to Wen Wen.

Wen Wen had once searched through the Ranger Terminal for a long time but could not find the Craftsman Monster he desired. Unexpectedly, he stumbled upon a clue during the process of capturing Guo Shengye!

It was like finding what one needs without even looking for it!

Seeing Wen Wen’s eyes, which resembled those of a ravenous wolf, the bald boss felt uneasy; he might have said something wrong.

Nevertheless, to preserve his inn, the bald boss had no choice but to exaggerate greatly about Master Red Beard, hoping to make Wen Wen wary and prevent any reckless actions.

So he took a deep breath and began introducing Master Red Beard to Wen Wen.

"Master Red Beard is also known as a Demon Instrument Forger. All the old inns in various cities of Haibei Province are his properties, and he has absolute authority in the underground world of Haibei Province..."

Even though the bald boss was exaggerating, Wen Wen patiently listened to the end while sipping on the most expensive wine the bald boss offered.

After listening, Wen Wen summed it up himself; just as he had suspected, this Master Red Beard was indeed a Craftsman skilled in forging Superpower Instruments, or rather, a Monster.

Years ago, he had forged several Demon Instruments, which had caused over a dozen homicides in Haibei Province. The local Hunters Association couldn’t handle him, so Master Red Beard became a target for the Rangers.

However, despite the Hunters Association deploying Rangers several times, they all returned without success, earning Master Red Beard great respect in the underground world.

After all, other conspicuous Monsters like Red Beard had mostly become weapons of the Demon Hunters...

For reasons unknown, the hunt for Red Beard by the Hunter Association suddenly halted, and Red Beard seemed to also start mending his ways, no longer producing havoc-wreaking Demon Instruments.

He then started opening old inns across different places to provide refuge for those who were desperate, while charging them, sustaining himself to continue forging weapons.

During the discussion, Wen Wen also searched through the Ranger Terminal, and found no information related to Red Beard.

This indicated that Master Red Beard was no longer within the reach of the Hunters Association’s warrants.

What exactly could he do that made the Hunters Association cease their pursuit? This made Wen Wen extremely curious.

After the bald boss finished speaking, he seriously looked at Wen Wen’s face, hoping to see fear and apprehension, but instead, Wen Wen’s smile grew wider and even appeared somewhat fierce.

"Interesting, really interesting."

While Wen Wen sneered, the black hair at the back of his head crazily grew, and an ominous aura emanated from him.

The bald boss’s heart skipped a beat. Was this really a Demon Hunter, or an evil ghost from the Inner World?

Those black hairs entangled the bald boss’s limbs, rendering him immobile and completely at Wen Wen’s mercy.

During this time, a tough barrier appeared on his body, but this barrier was instantly destroyed in Wen Wen’s hands.

Then, in the humiliated look on the bald boss’s face, Wen Wen searched his body and finally found four Supernatural Items with different functions.

Beyond the wooden hammer and defensive wristband he had seen, there was also a superpower handgun and a snuff bottle.

Wen Wen, right in front of the bald boss, studied those four items over and over.

On these four items, there was a red flame-like emblem. If you turned the flame upside down, it looked like a cluster of red big beard, indicating they were made by the same person.

Moreover, these items were all exquisitely made, much better than those Wen Wen could craft by himself.

Well, actually, if it weren’t for the strength of the Calamity Prison Supervisor enhancing them, the Superpower Items Wen Wen made would just be junk.

Even with the power of the Calamity Prison Supervisor, the items Wen Wen made were too straightforward and did not maximize the potential strength and unique properties of the materials.

The materials used in these items contained part of a monster’s strength, Superpower Materials consistent with those stored in the Sanctuary. If Wen Wen could capture this Master Red Beard and confine him in the Sanctuary, he could turn all those materials into usable items!

However, before capturing this Master Red Beard, Wen Wen needed to first understand why the Hunters Association had given up on pursuing him. If he could not clarify this point, he would not recklessly make a move.

So, he switched to a Vampire Constitution and activated his Hypnotic Ability, his eyes emitting a bewitching red glow, which caused the bald boss’s eyes to turn hazed.

Now, Tao Qingqing had already become a Disaster Level vampire, and her Hypnotic Ability could even affect superpower users.

However, using Hypnotic Ability on superpower users did not allow full control like it would on ordinary people, and acquiring information required proper guidance.

Luckily, the bald boss was already terrified by Wen Wen, and he was completely forthcoming with information in response to Wen Wen’s questions, only realizing afterwards that something was amiss with his condition.

Wen Wen sipped his wine while contemplating the information about Master Red Beard.

"So it turns out, this Master Red Beard actually has ways to restrain the Hunters Association. The Association could force him down, but it would bring unfavorable consequences."

"Also, every December, Red Beard sends a batch of Superpower Items to the Hunters Association to secure his own safety."

"Most importantly, after negotiating with the Association, this Red Beard has been hiding in Baoya City and hasn’t caused any harm to human lives...at least, he hasn’t killed anyone openly."

"It seems that getting him into the Sanctuary might be difficult, but I at least have to meet him."

After drinking the last drop from the bottle, Wen Wen stood up and gently patted his cheeks.

"So, the next target is... Master Red Beard!"
