Chapter 15 Hunter

The Pang family and the Martial Arts Association were both very good forces, but Xu Jiang did not agree to their solicitation and chose Uncle Lei instead.

The reason is simple: trust.

What is certain is that Uncle Lei's identity is not simple. There should be a big organization behind him, otherwise those two would have robbed him long ago and would not have watched him being taken away.

Since both parties have similar backgrounds, it is natural to choose Uncle Lei.

After all, it was Uncle Lei who helped him when he had nothing. Compared to the more unfamiliar Pang family and the Martial Arts Association, Uncle Lei is more trustworthy.

After asking Xu Jiang to wait in the car, Uncle Lei found a hiding place, turned on the anti-prying device, and began to report the situation to his superiors.

The disc-shaped pager was turned on, light and shadow shot out, and a virtual portrait appeared in front of him.

This is a young girl with beautiful black hair hanging on her shoulders, a delicate and beautiful face, and the quiet temperament of a lady.

There was just a slight wrinkle of sadness between his eyebrows, as if he was worried about something. When he saw the message from Uncle Lei, he slightly stroked the hair beside his ears and tried his best to squeeze out a smile.

"Grandpa Lei, I haven't received a call from you for a long time. Do you have anything to do with me today?"

Listening to the girl's greetings, Uncle Lei's eyes softened.

"Miss Third, I have something to report to you. I have been looking for new people for the past six months, and this time, I finally found a good candidate."

In half a year, we only found one good seedling. This efficiency is indeed very low and somewhat pitiful.

But there is no other way. The job transfer hall is completely controlled by the martial arts council. Those with real talents are intercepted at the first opportunity. It is really difficult to find talents.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Lei really missed it.

When the girl heard about it, she also became interested: "What kind of talented professional is he? Someone who can be recognized by Grandpa Lei must be very powerful."

Uncle Lei nodded excitedly and said: "This man's name is Xu Jiang. His talent is only B level, but I'm sure he's hiding some abilities. Because this time he won the perfect clearance of [Black and White Forest]."

"Really! Is he from Grandpa Lei?" The girl showed an expression of surprise.

Passing the level perfectly is no joke. Almost as soon as the fireworks exploded, all forces received the news.

But the latest information is that the person who passed the customs was not Pang Shi, who had high hopes. Including Mo Guishan, the martial arts association who visited the scene in person, also kept silent about the matter.

She was just guessing about this person's identity, but she didn't expect that he was one of her own.

"Where is he now? I will see him personally." Such a talent must not be let go, so the third lady decided to go out in person to show their sincerity and have a good talk with this man.

But after a moment of silence, Uncle Lei shook his head.

"Third Miss, I also know something about the recent situation in the company. You are being closely watched now and it is really not appropriate for you to keep a high profile."

"What does Grandpa Lei mean?"

"I will deal with this person. I will hide him for the time being and train him. When he has the ability to protect himself, I will show him to others."

It is a well-known fact that if something is too strong, it will break easily.

The company is currently facing internal and external troubles. If Xu Jiang gains power at this time, he will definitely be suppressed by villains or even assassinated.

Uncle Lei has seen many geniuses who died young, and he doesn't want Xu Jiang to make the same mistake again.

…

After a long conversation, Uncle Lei returned to the car and said to Xu Jiang seriously:

"After careful consideration, I have decided to accept you as my disciple. Although your family background is not good and you don't have much to show your respect to me, I am not a fussy person either. Please become my disciple."

Uncle Lei acted like a great master, waiting for Xu Jiang to bow before bowing.

"I reject."

"...What! You refuse?"

"That's right! I've only known you for a few days, and your classes are all about fooling around with those aunts. Can I learn something from you as my teacher?"

Faced with Xu Jiang's doubts, Uncle Lei got angry: "What do you know, you little brat? Back then, I was the all-powerful master in Yong'an City."

Xu Jiang glanced at the old man up and down, seeing an old T-shirt, beach shorts, flip-flops, and a shabby X7 four-wheeler.

Without saying a word, Xu Jiang smiled crookedly and turned to look out the window.

…

Recruiting a disciple failed for the time being, but Uncle Lei was not discouraged.

After all, the two have only known each other for a short time, and Xu Jiang has not yet seen his strength, which is understandable.

After finishing the work at hand, he will show off his strength to Xu Jiang. Are you afraid that Xu Jiang won't cry and beg to become his disciple?

As for now, Uncle Lei will drive Xu Jiang back to the headquarters as soon as possible and handle the entry procedures for Xu Jiang immediately to avoid being poached by other forces.

Along the way, Uncle Lei couldn't help but nag: "Xu Jiang! Have you ever heard of the hunter?"

Hunter!

Xu Jiang sat upright and looked at Uncle Lei with a deep look.

"I've heard people talk about it, but I don't know the details."

Uncle Lei nodded and continued to ask: "The Yong'an City where we live is protected by strong steel walls on all sides. Do you know why?"

"I heard that there are endless wild beasts outside the city?"

"That's right, it's a wild beast. It's more terrifying and weird than the ones you encounter in the spiritual realm."

As he spoke, Uncle Lei deliberately drove around a city wall.

The city wall, which is tens of meters high, is made entirely of steel. It is majestic and spectacular. On top of the city wall is a defensive line of elite soldiers.

But even so, Xu Jiang could still see the broken remains of the city wall, and a large number of workers were repairing it.

"Hunters were born to deal with the terrifying wild beasts. The company I work for is called Jiuchuan Group. The company also has a hunting department, and I am going to put you in it."

Xu Jiang nodded and asked, "Do you want me to go out hunting wild beasts with my colleagues?"

"No, it's not yet time. The team I selected for you is usually only responsible for daily stability maintenance."

"Huh? Why does it still sound like a security guard?"

"The difference is huge. Do you think the city is safe? Those faceless men you saw in the spiritual realm are not good things." Uncle Lei lit up a cigarette and looked a little melancholy.

Xu Jiang frowned slightly, he knew very little about these weird things.

"Are those faceless men dangerous?"

"It's very dangerous, and it's not just them that are dangerous, wild beasts, hollows, madness infections... these damn troubles are coming one after another, and they are all dangerous."

What Uncle Lei has to consider now is to let Xu Jiang grow up safely, hoping that he can pass the novice stage as soon as possible and have the ability to protect himself.

"Then what's the name of the group I'm going to?"

"There is no name. Jiuchuan Group's hunting department is recorded by number. You are in group seventeen."

Perhaps to show his prestige, Uncle Lei pressed the car phone and personally called Group 17 to say hello in advance.

Toot--toot--

The phone rang twice, and a young man with yellow hair appeared on the car's central control screen.

Before Uncle Lei could speak, the other party had already taken the lead.

"Wow! Isn't this Senior Lei? It's been a long time since he came to our seventeenth group. You are so free today. Do you have anything to do with me?"

Judging from the speed of his speech, he must be a very talkative person.

When Uncle Lei heard the title of 'senior', he nodded with satisfaction. Although he was a yellow-haired man, his emotional intelligence was quite high, and he immediately acted like an elder.

"Xiaobao! That's it. I recently accepted a student and want to put him in your group."

"Are you a student of Senior Lei? He must be very powerful."

Listen, this is prestige.

Uncle Lei raised his eyebrows at Xu Jiang, as if to say: I asked you to become my teacher, but you refused. Do you regret it now?

The feeling of pride had just begun, but before it lasted for two seconds, Huang Mao on the opposite side suddenly thought of another question.

"Huh? Could it be that Senior Lei, your plan to pick up leaks was successful?"

"...What a plan to pick up the missing people! This is a new star training plan!"

"Isn't it? But Senior Lei said last time that he would open a training class and pick up some apprentices by chance?"

I take back my previous comment about having high emotional intelligence. You idiot is here to cause trouble.

The corner of Uncle Lei's mouth twitched a little. He wanted to turn off the hands-free now, but it was too late. Xu Jiang, who was in the passenger seat, had turned into a dead fish eye.

As expected, this crooked old man just had nothing to do and wanted to recruit some apprentices to come back and provide for him in his old age.

Fortunately, I didn't become a disciple. I feel like it's a bit of a loss to have the name of a student.

Feeling Xu Jiang's contemptuous eyes, Uncle Lei could only try to save some face.

He coughed twice in embarrassment and explained: "It can't be said that it was a mistake. After all, I also invested a lot in helping the newcomers arrange trials."

"Is it still the [Black and White Forest]? But the two quotas are given to you in each issue. It will be wasted if you don't use them."

"But I also prepared supplies for my disciples! Bullets, medicine, tents, etc., these are my investment after all."

"Huh? I heard that a while ago, the logistics department complained that someone secretly took the supply package. Could it be you, senior..."

Du-du-du-

The uncle hung up the phone...

The car was quiet for a while. Xu Jiang couldn't bear it anymore and asked seriously: "Is it still too late for me to get out of the car now?"

Uncle Lei didn't answer, he just pressed the car lock, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and rushed towards the headquarters of Jiuchuan Group, giving the answer with his actions.
