Chapter 1080: Chapter 1080: Different Paths

It was unclear how much time had passed when Zhuo Hang woke up and found himself lying on a bed in a familiar environment, which seemed to be a rest room at their warehouse base.

As he got up, he realized his head was throbbing. He remembered the image of the mysterious masked person knocking him out with a heavy punch and couldn’t help but curse that the person had hit too hard.

Glancing around, Zhuo Hang saw another hunter lying unconscious on the bed next to him. Judging by his breathing, he seemed to be alright, which suggested that the mysterious masked person had shown some mercy.

Zhuo Hang then recalled the last words spoken by the masked person, who had come here to clear out everything, preventing anyone from interfering with what was to happen next and to free Gu Fan, Su Hui, and Lin Xi from surveillance.

Moreover, the masked person had also said that he was doing what Zhuo Hang had hoped to see, taking actions Zhuo Hang had wanted to take but couldn’t.

Zhuo Hang shook his head and couldn’t help but smile bitterly. He didn’t know whether to be thankful or resentful towards this mysterious masked person.

If Zhuo Hang’s guess was right, all the data stored at the Special Investigation Team’s warehouse base had been cleared out by now.

Indeed, when Shi Hao came to check on him and saw that he was awake, he breathed a sigh of relief and also informed him of what had happened.

After Zhuo Hang and the hunter had been defeated, the mysterious masked person did not harm Liu Hui, Hu Hu, Shi Hao, Yan Bing, but instead asked them to take good care of Zhuo Hang and the hunter.

Next, the masked one inputted some program that wiped out all the data at the base and erased all the materials gathered by the Special Investigation Team, turning all their efforts to ash.

It was tragic for the team as they were left with just a few members, unable to adequately prepare and respond to whatever incidents might occur next.

With no personnel, no data, and no equipment, they were rendered helpless, even though they knew vampires and Organization X were active in the city, the Special Investigation Team could no longer begin to address it.

However, Zhuo Hang didn’t care much as he had his abilities and could find clues without any assistance.

One thing puzzled Zhuo Hang – why the masked person wanted to destroy this place. From the words said, the intention was to free Gu Fan, Su Hui, and Lin Xi from surveillance so that they could move freely, indicating that something significant was going to happen.

Although this was also what Zhuo Hang had hoped for, he had to maintain appearances, so he ordered, "Shi Hao, immediately report to our superiors about what happened here. Also, request them to send new personnel and supplies. We need to rebuild this place as soon as possible."

"Alright, I’ll do that right away," Shi Hao complied immediately.

At that moment, the hunter also woke up, his head heavy and feeling quite miserable.

Zhuo Hang jokingly remarked, "How does it feel to lose? Is it very frustrating?"

The hunter didn’t respond but got up and walked away, unwilling to stay a moment longer.

Zhuo Hang followed him, and the two ended up outside of the warehouse. Zhuo Hang called out to the hunter, "This time, you saw what kind of enemy we’re facing. I hope you can stay and lend me a hand to fight our common foe."

"I’m sorry, they were only after you guys. I just got caught up by accident, and if I do want to face that guy and seek revenge, I’ll do it alone," the hunter said firmly and then walked away without looking back.

Zhuo Hang sighed, admitting the hunter was strong, but the mysterious masked person was even stronger, unprecedentedly so. After that battle, Zhuo Hang made comparisons, concluding that only if he, the big boss, Qian Feng, and the hunter combined forces would they have a one hundred percent chance of winning.

However, Zhuo Hang was more concerned about the words the masked person had said before. In ancient times, Zhuo Hang, because he felt immortality was far superior to any Peerless Martial Arts, had not looked down upon Martial Arts or practiced them, which had led to his gap with the masked person.

"Right, if I could learn Peerless Martial Arts from the hunter, then I could surpass that mysterious masked person, and I might even become the strongest of this era," Zhuo Hang thought excitedly and immediately took action, stepping briskly towards the hunter.

Seeing Zhuo Hang catch up, the hunter frowned and made his stance clear again, "Sorry, I’ll say it once more, I won’t join you."

Zhuo Hang quickly explained, "You misunderstood, I’m not asking you to join us. You saw how powerful that masked person is. I’m the only one who can barely contend with him. If you could teach me your Peerless Sword Technique, I could defeat him."

After hearing this, the hunter paused, then shook his head, "I’m sorry, my Peerless Sword Technique can only be passed down to the next generation chosen by the Jian Shen, and to only one person per generation."

Zhuo Hang didn’t mind, "No problem, teach it to me, and I’ll be the Jian Shen’s successor."

"I’m sorry, when the Jian Shen’s next generation successor appears, my sword will definitely respond," said the hunter, drawing his sword to check. Seeing no response, he added, "You see, you can’t be the next Jian Shen successor, so I can’t teach you my Peerless Sword Technique."

Zhuo Hang looked slightly awkward, "No way, it’s the modern era. Can’t we be a bit flexible?"

To this, the hunter could only again express his apologies, "Sorry, I have to follow a tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation."

Zhuo Hang still wouldn’t give up, "But you see, this mysterious masked person is very dangerous. He might do something else in the future, and I’m the only one capable of stopping him. I hope you’ll help me. I really need the Peerless Sword Technique."

"Pass the Peerless Sword Technique to you," the hunter said as he observed Zhuo Hang closely, then smiled thoughtfully and turned to leave, "You give me the impression that you’re not all that good either. I fear once you learn the Peerless Sword Technique, you might become even more unbridled."

"You..." Zhuo Hang watched the hunter’s receding back with some annoyance. "I offered you face, and you disregard it like this. Fine, just wait..."

Just then, Liu Hui, Hu Hu, Shi Hao, Yan Bing came running up, looking somewhat hasty, "Captain, headquarters has ordered us to take what we can and head back immediately. They will handle this place’s matters secretly."

"I understand, let’s set off right away," Zhuo Hang now had another worry, wondering if the appearance of the masked person could divert headquarters’ attention away from Gu Fan. If so, Su Hui might also be relatively safer.

First vampires, then Organization X, and now this mysterious masked person, this city was indeed becoming more and more lively.
