Chapter 752: 395 Bai Kui is referred to as Great Soss (4200)_1 Chapter 752: 395 Bai Kui is referred to as Great Soss (4200)_1 Dark Hunt Organization Headquarters, Hunters Association.

It’s a building shaped like an onion, with grey-white tiles reflecting a hint of light. The tiles are densely stacked together. The whole building only has three floors, but covers a large area, with various sections divided inside.

On the street, Casio looked up and stepped inside.

Following him, Hebu, Gem and Krogg also came in.

Apart from Hebu, the other two were here to report their progress at the Hunters Association. As branch directors of the Dark Hunt Organization, they would irregularly return to the headquarters once or twice a year. Since they were here, they decided to submit this year’s tasks ahead of time and accompany Casio for a tour.

Two minutes later, Casio and the others were led into a rest room.

The badges had been submitted, and someone had gone to notify the relevant departments.

In an area of the oval building where the logistics management department is located, two silhouettes are sitting on a sofa in a spacious and bright room, drinking tea and discussing matters. The man closest to the window is a middle-aged man, slightly bald. He had an aristocratic look, yet still a bit pudgy.

The person further from the window is easy to distinguish.

He had a handsome and deep face, and emanates an aggressive wild aura. His tall and strong body exudes a somewhat subtle aura of dominance. Coupled with his semi-long blond hair, this person is easily recognizable as Soss from a distance.

“Mr. George, it’s a pleasure to work with you.”

“A Pleasure.”

The two laughed and shook hands, seeming quite harmonious. They had just reached some agreements mainly regarding the Holy Springs Water. The royal family exchanged equivalent Holy Springs Water with George using other resources and favors.

The Holy Springs Water has always been in the hands of the Dark Hunt Organization. Even the Imperial Royal Family or the Red Li Council can’t get involved. This is a balance between the three parties. Within the Dark Hunt Organization, the Holy Baptism Cathedral undoubtedly has the most Holy Springs Water, but those priests are quite unsociable and only serve according to the rules of the organization. Apart from the Holy Baptism Cathedral, the logistics management department of the Hunters Association is undoubtedly the second most abundant in supply.

The Hunters Association, as a violent organization, consumes a lot of Holy Springs Water daily and naturally has its reserve. The middle-aged man named George who is in charge of the logistics management department has some extra authority. He can take out some of the surplus reserve for secret trading.

This is also the reason why Lion King Soss came here today.

Having rested for two to three days, his recently reattached arm had finally stabilized. Originally, Soss was a strong contender for the position of Shadow Hunter, even the most promising among the three competitors. However, the assassination a few days ago destroyed everything. Soss, though still competitive, is no longer the front runner. His chances are at best equal to the other two, or even less since he was injured.

Soss cannot accept what has happened and is trying to remedy it.

The best way is undoubtedly to enhance his own strength.

For example, drinking a large amount of Holy Springs Water in a short period of time can result in a significant increase in the number of Holy Marks. This can bring him back to his former strength or even go a step further. Of course, this is not without a cost. Using Holy Springs Water at a high frequency in a short period of time can greatly affect a hunter’s personality and sanity.

Negative impacts may arise, which can even affect future progress. The source of the Holy Springs Water is an exception. Inside its range, a magical force reduces the negative impact to a minimum.

Soss knew there would be strong side effects, but his pride would not allow him to fall behind the other two. If he could become a Shadow Hunter, a small price would be worthwhile. After all, everything Lion King Soss has now, the princess’s favor, the admiration of the aristocracy’s children, the royal family’s favor, is all based on his becoming a Shadow Hunter. Once that fails, these auras will fade away.

This cost is far more painful than any side effect.

Therefore, he sent his men to find George, the assistant director of the Hunters Association’s logistics department, yesterday. Although George’s identity was a hunter of the Hunters Association, in reality, he was an aristocrat, naturally leaning towards the royal family, and has cooperated with the royal family multiple times in the past.

So, Soss was not worried that George would refuse the business.

He came in person today to negotiate for the goods and, as expected, they got along well.

“Thank you, Mr. George.”

Soss smiled and took a sip of his strong tea.

“It’s my honor to serve the future Shadow Hunter …”

George said in a teasing manner, and the two broke into loud laughter.

“It’s two P.M. now, I’ll take you to get the batch of Holy Springs Water.”

George said as he stood up.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

“Come in …” George put down his teacup without turning his head.

With a click, in came a hunter in a grey uniform.

He glanced at Lion King Soss by the window and walked over to George.

He whispered something into his ear.

George’s face changed slightly, and he asked the person to wait outside. He stood up and said to Soss, “Mr. Soss, please wait here for me for a moment. I have some business to tend to. I’m sorry, I’ll be back shortly.” With that, he left the sofa area and walked out the door.
