Chapter 1167: Chapter 1167: Flying with the Sword

In the dark alley outside the underground entertainment world, the hunter stared in astonishment at Irina before him, while Irina awkwardly avoided the hunter’s gaze as she straightened her hair.

After snapping back to reality, the hunter quickly pressed, "You just said you are carrying my child, where is the child?"

"What, you only now care about our child? Do you only now feel responsible for what happened back then?" Irina’s successive questions made the hunter extremely uncomfortable, and the hunter, showing a rare look of pleading, said, "Okay, even if I left in the past, and I wronged you, I didn’t know you were carrying my son. If I had known..."

"If you had known, you would have waited until the child was born, then taken the child away with you, and left the child to be raised by someone trustworthy, am I right?" Irina’s cold words revealed her insight into the hunter’s character.

The hunter looked helpless, "The Hunter’s Guild has long since lost its way, focusing more on profit rather than wholeheartedly hunting vampires, which is inconsistent with my principles. I truly didn’t want to stay."

"You want to leave, and we won’t force you to stay; moreover, we can’t keep you here. But considering our past cooperation, shouldn’t there be some mutual assistance? You, however, have truly cut all ties with us." Irina grew angrier as she spoke, as if the hunter were a faithless scoundrel.

The hunter didn’t want to drag this out and quickly asked, "Just tell me how our child is doing, how have you arranged things?"

"What else could I do? Our child is now three years old and has been left in the care of the Hunter’s Guild for upbringing and education. I occasionally visit, and the child is quite healthy." Irina’s revelation shocked the hunter, his face turning pale, "What, you left our child with the Hunter’s Guild, so our child will only be trained to be someone like you."

Hearing this, Irina became irritated, "What’s wrong with being like me? Am I that detestable in your eyes?"

The hunter realized he had misspoken and quickly explained, "I didn’t mean it like that. It’s just that I don’t want my child to spend every day fighting powerful and terrifying enemies like us; I want him to be a normal person."

"A normal person? Do you think our child could be a normal person? Organization X won’t let us go, won’t leave our child alone. You’ve said it before, people like us shouldn’t have families, shouldn’t have children." Irina’s voice grew more impassioned, a look of profound regret on her face.

"Enough of this. Hand the child over to me, I will arrange things," the hunter said much more politely, a pleading look in his eye.

But Irina shook her head, "You can have the child, but first answer my question, who exactly is this Gu Fan, and why is Organization X targeting him?"

Upon hearing this, the hunter was astonished, "No way, you’re actually using the child as a bargaining chip to negotiate with me."

With no other option, Irina replied indifferently, "Now that the Hunter’s Guild is raising the child, if you want to leave, you should at least provide some compensation for the Guild." Her expression suggested that her request was perfectly reasonable, which made the hunter feel nothing but disdain.

In the end, the hunter conceded, "Fine, I can tell you everything I know, but you have to promise me one thing—not to bother them because..." The hunter’s words were cut short as Irina interrupted, "Because this Gu Fan is connected to the person you have to protect, right? So you don’t want us disturbing their lives."

The hunter was surprised, "You know about this?"

Irina shrugged, "No choice, at that time we needed to work together to fight our way out, so we exchanged some information. You have no idea how hard it was to get even a sliver of useful information out of that guy."

The hunter furrowed his brows, considering that since Gu Fan had used the hunter’s information to bargain with Irina, then Gu Fan couldn’t blame the hunter for using Gu Fan’s information to bargain with Irina now.

Therefore, the Hunter justified his betrayal of Gu Fan, yet he did not tell Irina everything he knew, keeping quite a bit to himself.

With Irina’s insight, she of course saw that the Hunter was not disclosing everything, and thus she lost interest and turned to leave.

The Hunter became anxious, "Wait a moment, my child?"

"Don’t worry, you’ll be allowed to take the kid with you. I just need some time to arrange things." Irina walked swiftly as if she couldn’t wait to leave.

Watching Irina’s retreating figure, the Hunter felt a wave of loss in his heart. He did not dislike children; he too longed for a child, but he was aware of his mission. The eventual fate of each generation of Jian Shen’s successors was not very appealing, leaving him with no confidence to take on the responsibility of raising a child.

With a heavy heart, the Hunter returned to the underground entertainment world, just in time to see Lin Yue practicing his skills, and caught a glimpse of a strange look in Lin Yue’s eyes.

Feeling increasingly irritable, the Hunter sat on the sofa with a tense expression, radiating an aura that warned others not to speak to him.

"Let’s go, I’ll take you on a real hunt tonight." Deciding to vent his emotions on vampires, the Hunter planned to take Lin Yue back out to hunt them.

Lin Yue, of course, noticed the Hunter’s poor mood, had no objections, quickly grabbed his mask and clothes, and hurried out the door after him.

All the way, the Hunter moved fast with heavy steps, seemingly only the slaughter of several vampires tonight could quell his inner restlessness.

Lin Yue thought to himself that, even though it was late and the active time for vampires, the problem was the city was so large, where to find vampires?

Suddenly, Lin Yue remembered the first time the Hunter took him on a real hunt, which was in a very remote unfinished building. At that time, he wondered how the Hunter had located the vampires.

"Could it be that Master has amazing tracking abilities?" Lin Yue became hopeful all at once; perhaps he could learn something new on this outing.

Suddenly, the Hunter summoned his treasured sword from its scabbard and floated it in mid-air. This skill left Lin Yue utterly astonished; this was the ability to control a sword through the air, could it be that what followed was...

The Hunter grabbed Lin Yue’s arm and then leaped onto the sword, just as Lin Yue had anticipated. Flying on the sword, the Hunter carried Lin Yue up into the sky.

"My god, Master, you’re amazing," Lin Yue felt the rapid ascent, the wind whistling past his ears, and his excitement soaring.

The two flew higher and higher, reaching the city’s skyline, from where they could look down at the entire city’s nightscape.

Looking at the brilliantly lit city, Lin Yue longed from within to master the skill to fly on the sword, eager to learn it immediately upon returning, but then he realized that with his current level of skills, he wouldn’t be able to learn it anytime soon.

Now, Lin Yue was curious about how, with all this grandeur, the Hunter was going to find the vampires; surely, he couldn’t have such good vision that he could see every move in the city.
