I can return to the age of mysterious
Chapter 719 - 719 378 Genius (4000)_2

Chapter 719: 378 Genius (4000)_2 Chapter 719: 378 Genius (4000)_2 There were three Dark Gold Level hunters, each representing the strength of three parties.

Imperial Royal Family: Lion King · Soss

Hong Li Council: Thorns · Solomon

Within the Dark Hunt Organization: Sea Demon · Claire

All parties have placed their bets, fiercely eyeing the vacant position. After all, a shadow hunter is more than just a shadow hunter, the position even involved the selection of Holy Light hunters and the Chief Inspector of the Dark Hunt Organization. The old hunter, Herbert, who held a nomination, had always attracted attention from all sides.

Some forces wanted to bribe the old hunter to gain this spot from Herbert, thereby increasing the chances of their side securing the Shadow Hunter position.

Some forces wanted the old hunter dead because as long as Herbert died, they would face one less competitor. Still, they only dared to wait for Herbert’s natural death and did not dare to make a move. Because if Herbert died, the Legion commander would certainly investigate his cause of death. If it was normal, they could reason, but if any party was deliberately involved, the Legion Commander would dig three feet into the ground to find that party and make them pay a heavy price. This was crucial to the stability of the organization.

Sitting on a wooden chair, Old Herbert half-squinted his eyes, appearing drowsy. In reality, his brain was deliberating whether or not to grant this authority to Casio. Herbert was a man of real temperament as evidenced by his voluntary renunciation of the Shadow Hunter identity. He never valued benefits when making acquaintances but favored who suited his taste.

After “Bai Kui” woke up severely injured, he changed dramatically. His determined and confident appearance, the formidable aura and talent he could hardly hide, were all appreciated by Herbert. He wanted to give the authorization to Casio. However, if Casio accepted this gift, he would inevitably be caught up in the vortex of the coveted shadow hunter position. This was a calculation of multiple forces.

Although Herbert’s strength has declined, his perception still maintained some level of his peak phase. Since the Shadow Hunter Soul Sickle was injured half a year ago, one or two voyeuristic eyes would occasionally appear around him, hiding in the dark.

It seemed that other forces were watching his actions closely.

If Casio stepped in, he would undoubtedly become the primary target. Not merely a normal competition, it could also involve hidden perils. After all, Bloody Axe Herbert was an impulsive man who upset several others. Especially the royal family, with whom he had tangled relations.

Even when Herbert’s strength decreased to that of an ordinary man, the royal family dared not lay hands on him due to the Chief Inspector’s promise. However, the case with Casio was different. The royal family might resort to a clean and swift strategy to eliminate him, the competitor.

Casio, if he accepted Herbert’s gift, would soon receive substantial resources. Simultaneously, he would also be placed in danger.

This double-edged sword would be determined by Casio himself.

After all, Herbert didn’t have the habit of making decisions for others.

Half an hour later, on the living room sofa near the balcony.

“Bai Kui, if you accept this honor badge, all the forces will know the next day, and you will soon be targeted both openly and secretly…”

Herbert, with a teacup in his hand, was suddenly interrupted.

“I don’t care.” Casio put down the teacup. His face didn’t reveal any expression, but his brows expressed extreme confidence in himself.

“Whether it’s open or hidden, I’m not afraid at all. By the way, old man, you’re talking about the Imperial Royal Family that you’re not on good terms with, right? They have chosen to support Lion King, Soss?”

“It seems to be a Dark Gold Hunter with royal blood.” Casio showed a smile on his face, “This kid, I’ll find some time to slaughter him. Consider it a return gift for your generous present…”

Casio spoke these words casually, even nonchalantly, as if Lion King Soss’s death was inevitable.

Herbert was dumbfounded. He didn’t expect Casio to show no fear or retreat upon hearing about the dangerous situation he described. Instead, Casio was equipped and eager to take action, even planning to kill the royal family’s supporter.

Using it as a small return gift to himself.

If any ordinary person boasted like this, Herbert would laugh and shake his head. But Casio was too calm, his tone unwavering, and assertive. Combined with his slightly overwhelming and mysterious sense, it made people contemplate whether Lion King Soss would genuinely be defeated by him. This was the first time that Herbert encountered such a situation, so he laughed helplessly and directly took a golden honor badge from his bosom.

“Here, do as you please. If you can really manage to kill Lion King Soss, then it’s indeed your ability,” he said, tossing Casio something.

Whap.

Casio grabbed the mid-air badge, examining it closely.

The badge was half the size of a palm and shaped like a shield. On the left and right were embossed patterns of lions, and in the middle was a sword of judgement.

On the edge were traces of olive branches and rice ears entwined upwards.

Under the sunlight, the sword of judgement shimmered with a metallic luster. Upon closer inspection, one could spot the intricate thorn pattern etched on the sword’s body.

“Submit this honor badge to the Hunters Association, and they’ll document your name,” Hebu said, picking up his porcelain teacup once again.

Casio’s eyelids drooped, and he nestled the badge into his breast pocket.

In this retrospective, Bai Kui has two obsessions. One is to become one of the five senior members of the Dark Hunt organization within a year. Casio inherited Bai Kui’s hunter identity, and the Holy Light hunters were undoubtedly the easiest for him to encounter. You have to eat your meal bite by bite, walk your path step by step. Becoming a Shadow Hunter under the Holy Light Hunters is undoubtedly Casio’s first goal.

This requires not only strength, but also a quota recognized by the association.

Since he was still part of the Dark Hunt organization, obtaining the Holy Springs Water through this channel required adherence to the organization’s rules. The gift from the veteran hunter Hebu undoubtedly helped Casio through a key phase.

Additionally, the significant resources this authority could bring, there’s bound to be plenty of Holy Springs water among them, which Casio takes a keen interest in. The Holy Mark condensed from this stuff seems to influence the unique force of Southern Dipper boxing method and exhibits faint signs of fusion.

He planned to study it thoroughly and clarify the cause and effect.

If Casio could truly understand the principle, the greatest gain from this fifth retrospective might not be the massive life vibration energy from the World of Calamities, but the special force after fusion with Southern Dipper!

Deathfang Power, Echo Strength, and the yet-to-be-acquired Barbed Feather Energy.

Just by talking about one of these special forces, they are already incredibly formidable. If they were combined into one, who knows what kind of monster would be produced. It’s important to note that the special forces of the Southern Dipper’s boxing method are specifically tailored to kill the immortals. If the three forces, which restrain the immortality of dark creatures, are stacked, then Casio will become the nemesis of the calamities.

Returning to his senses, the daydream in his mind gradually settled down.

Old Hunter Hebu stood up, apparently ready to leave. Casio also rose, just about to see Hebu out when he suddenly turned his gaze towards the balcony.

Opposite the Hunter’s apartment was the Dark Hunt organization’s public building.

Further afield, it’s no longer the Hunter’s Association’s area.

One hundred meters away, in the workshop area, a man on top of a clock tower-like building holding a telescope almost dropped it in shock. Just now, in his sight, the hunter named Bai Kui suddenly turned his head, his eyes staring directly at him. Pupils seemed to lead to a scarlet world filled with endless killing intent and violence.

He was like a ferocious monster wearing a human disguise, grinning maliciously this way, full of malice, and immensely impactful.

“Bloody psycho, a lunatic coming out of nowhere…”

The middle-aged man uttered a silent curse, he didn’t think that Casio, a hundred meters away, could detect his secret surveillance. The middle-aged man muttered another curse, he could not believe that Casio, a hundred meters away, could see his secret surveillance.
