Chapter 1393: Chapter 1393: Act According to Circumstances

Inside a small inn, those responsible for local security were arguing with the members of the Hunter’s Guild, and the volume of the argument was escalating.

The hunter ignored these issues, stepped outside to smoke a cigarette and clear his mind. Handling the aftermath was always very bothersome, so he left it all to the Hunter’s Guild.

Initially, the hunter had joined the Hunter’s Guild for the intelligence it provided and the help in tying up loose ends.

Lin Yue walked out of the meeting room, a bit worried, "Master, I think their talks are about to break down."

"Don’t worry, I’ve seen this kind of situation many times." The hunter appeared completely unconcerned, as if this were a minor issue.

The local security had its concerns, after all, tens of thousands of regular troops had been lost in the Dark Primitive Mountain, and everyone feared revenge from Organization X.

During its first operation in this town, the Hunter’s Guild had eliminated a group of Organization X members in a warehouse. This had already frightened the local security forces, who repeatedly urged the Hunter’s Guild to avoid provoking Organization X.

Nevertheless, the Hunter’s Guild paid no heed; the feud was established, and neither side would rest until the other was destroyed. So, when they discovered another group of Organization X members in a warehouse, they conducted another operation.

What no one expected was to encounter a figure like Xue Long, who had also killed the previous Jian Shen’s disciple, who was the hunter’s master. Consequently, the hunter was particularly incensed upon seeing his enemy.

Lin Yue also expressed his regret, "Master, you could have killed Xue Long. Why didn’t you act and let him escape?"

The hunter sighed, his expression saddening a bit, "I wanted to, but after calming down, I clearly knew the consequences of killing Xue Long. So I let him go, as I couldn’t risk involving thousands of people in this town in the wrath of Organization X’s revenge over personal grievances."

"Master, you did nothing wrong. Xue Long hasn’t escaped back to Dark City yet. We still have a chance." Lin Yue appeared very supportive of the hunter, comforting him.

Just then, Lie Qi called, "I’ve detected two very strong life forces and another slightly stronger one, one of them is definitely Xue Long."

The hunter furrowed his brows, considering his next move.

Lie Qi discovered that the three life forces had left the new warehouse, but two vampires had entered it.

So, the hunter immediately left for the new warehouse and slayed the two vampires.

Lin Yue was first to understand the hunter’s intention, which was to make Xue Long feel in danger at all times, prompting him to flee the town quickly. As long as Xue Long could be eliminated near Dark City, he wouldn’t burden this town.

The hunter asked Lin Yue a question, "If you were Xue Long, defeated and in danger, besides escaping quickly from here, what else would you do?"

Lin Yue immediately replied, "Definitely call for backup. After all, Xue Long is a noble and can’t tolerate the slightest injury. Organization X will surely send many formidable people."

"That’s the issue. If Xue Long had just left the town and we had finished him off, then the town would certainly not escape a massacre by Organization X. If Xue Long had fled a great distance and met with Organization X’s people, attempting to kill him would be harder than reaching the heavens." The hunter said while crossing his arms and his face took on a more grave expression, definitely not wanting to miss this chance to eliminate his enemy.

Lin Yue thought for a moment and then opened the electronic map on his phone, "If I were Xue Long, I’d have already called for rescue by now. From Dark City receiving the request to organizing a rapid response team, and with daylight approaching, Organization X’s vampires can’t move at full speed. I estimate they need twelve hours."

"Exactly, dawn is almost here. Xue Long is surely in a hurry. He is definitely looking for a way out. He wouldn’t dare stay here during the daylight." The hunter began to speculate about Xue Long’s emotional state and possible actions.

Lin Yue also felt this made sense. Now it all depended on Lie Qi’s information. As soon as there was any sign of Xue Long leaving the town, they could time their attack correctly and deal with Xue Long without implicating the town.

However, while the hunter and Lin Yue were making their calculations, Gu Fan was also strategizing.

*******

Now, Gu Fan, Li, and Xue Long coincidentally encountered some other members of Organization X. After joining forces, they immediately found a civilian house as a temporary refuge, naturally, the owners had been killed to ensure Xue Long’s whereabouts remained secret.

Gu Fan looked at the male and female homeowners lying in a pool of blood, feeling very helpless. He always had a sense of guilt, feeling like an accomplice.

Xue Long didn’t care about these issues; his own life was paramount to him.

Someone suggested, "Dawn is approaching. If we don’t leave town now, Lord Xue Long will be trapped here during the day. The longer we stay, the easier we are to be discovered."

Xue Long agreed, as he was also fearful and anxious to leave.

Gu Fan asked, "When can our support arrive?"

Someone answered, "Dark City has responded and dispatched an elite force, but their speed will decrease once daylight comes, and by the time they arrive, I fear..."

Gu Fan asked again, "Is there anything else nearby that we can call upon?"

Someone nodded, "There is, and not vampires, so sunlight won’t restrict them. Most importantly, they’re in another small town fifty kilometers away, but they have a mission."

Li, of course, knew what those people were doing in the other town. He immediately said, "Have them come quickly. The more people, the better. Forget about their tasks. Lord Xue Long’s life is the most important."

"This..." The person hesitated until he met Xue Long’s fierce gaze, which seemed to say, "I’m a noble. My life is precious."

"Okay!" The person immediately made a phone call for emergency assistance.

Another voice came through the phone, "What, tell us to come immediately with people, but Xue Wang ordered us to keep an eye on Gu Fan and his group. If we withdraw, we’ll lose track of them. Who will bear the consequences?"

Hearing this, Xue Long angrily grabbed the phone, "Listen up, I’m Xue Long. Forget your mission. The most important thing right now is to keep me safe. If anything happens to me, you won’t be able to bear the consequences." After that, he hung up.

Everyone could feel Xue Long’s anger and anxious emotions. Seeing the crisis approaching, it was the first time he experienced such a threat, making it impossible for him to remain calm.

Taking advantage of going to the restroom as an excuse, Gu Fan temporarily disappeared from these people’s eyes, his lips slightly curling upward. He had an idea. Perhaps he could use this opportunity not only to get Su Hui and Lin Xi out of surveillance but also to sneak into Dark City with Gu Fan.
