The next day.

Hunter Squad Headquarters.

The brown porcelain cup was steaming hot, the conference table was silent, and only the sound of the pendulum clock on the wall was ringing in the air.

Even Heitong has replaced his snacks with soft pastries that can be chewed silently in his mouth.

Under the leadership of Esdeath, everyone carefully analyzed yesterday's situation.

Then the suspicion of a mole in the team was ruled out.

Although the correct answer was eliminated first, it is quite reasonable for them to do so.

After all, the detailed mission plan was formulated that morning. From the time they arrived at the mission location, no one had the conditions to pass on the information. Black Eyes, Lan, Will, Porus and Dr. Dr. Fashion all acted together, and there were no witnesses on the way.

When someone among them left the team for a while, and Lu Ye was with Esdeath, it became impossible.

So the hunter team finally came to the conclusion that the night attack team has the Teigu to collect intelligence.

Esdeath felt that it must have been yesterday when she noticed someone staring at her on the street. She thought it was a night killer and wanted to lure him into taking the bait. However, she did not expect that the other person was collecting intelligence, which meant that she

All the conversations with Lu Ye were eavesdropped by the other party.

It is precisely because of this that the combat mission failed.

After losing the first battle, everyone's mood was not very good, it could even be said to be depressed.

But mission failure is not the most important thing.

The most important thing was that the night raid took away the officials right under their noses.

This simply gave everyone a slap in the face.

If you lose in a head-on battle, you can still think that your own strength is insufficient and you can strengthen it through follow-up training.

But yesterday they didn't even see each other's faces.

It feels like the dragon that stole the princess is preparing to fight the coming warrior.

If we follow the normal process, the dragon will cross paths with the warrior, and then the outcome of the plot will be decided based on the win or loss of both parties.

But these giant dragons didn't even see the shadow of the warrior, and when they came to their senses, the princess was gone.

In the end, it was Esdeath who spoke: "In this mission, the enemy may have a very powerful Teigu that collects intelligence, but no matter what, we lost and lost three subordinates and the Teigu... From now on,

I ask you to come down and strengthen your training. In seven days, the imperial capital's civil martial arts competition will begin. Except for Dr. Dr. Fashion, each of you must participate, and you must achieve the top ten results without using the imperial gear.

.Anyone who fails to meet the requirements...I will train him personally!"

The hunter team is in high spirits.

Although it is a martial arts competition for the people of the city, it is essentially a competition held to select Teigu users.

So in principle, anyone can participate, from beggars to officers, as long as they sign up, there are no restrictions at all.

Moreover, the competition has a huge prize money, which is enough to make a family of three happy for most of their lives.

Therefore, under such extremely tempting conditions, not only civilian warriors, but also people from the Imperial Fist Temple and the army in the imperial capital would continue to participate in the competition in order to obtain the generous bonus.

There are many strong people among them. Regardless of the army, the Imperial Fist Temple is the most advanced boxing temple in the empire. Even if the masters do not hold the Imperial Gear, their skills and strength can match those of the Imperial Gear users. However, due to the close proximity

Corruption in the imperial capital has expanded rapidly in recent years, and its overall strength has been diluted.

And the strength of many civilian warriors cannot be underestimated, such as Tazmi, Iyeas and Sayu. They alone have the strength to kill level three dangerous species or even level two dangerous species. If they have the right weapons,

Iyes and Sayu were able to kill the dangerous insect type that initially attacked the carriage without Luye's help.

Esdeath put her hands on the table, leaning forward slightly, her ice-blue eyes full of pressure.

"Where's the answer?!"

"Yes! Captain!!" Everyone responded in unison, their voices bright.

"Very good, then after seven days, I will see the results." Esdeath raised her wrist and glanced at the watch, "It's getting late, it's time to have lunch, let's disband."

After hearing this, everyone stood up, their chairs slid on the ground, and then returned to their seats.

Lu Ye came to the door and was about to push it open when a knock on the door suddenly rang from outside.

Lu Ye was stunned for a moment.

Who could it be?

You must know that this is the hunter's conference room, and ordinary people cannot enter.

He opened the door and what appeared in front of him was a beautiful brown-haired woman.

She was wearing a sky blue dress, with a little blond girl in her arms, and holding a large wooden box in her hand.

After seeing Lu Ye, the woman smiled happily: "Dear."

"Daddy!" the little girl also shouted.

Lu Ye was stunned.

Honey?

dad?

The next second, Lu Ye felt himself being pushed away.

The other party's movements are powerful, but gentle, and not annoying.

"Why are you here?" The person who spoke was actually Porus, who came forward like a surprised child.

Lu Ye didn't expect that this shirtless guy wearing a gas mask was actually a man with a wife and children.

And my wife is very beautiful!

Not only Lu Ye, but everyone else was also stunned. Their inner activities were probably similar to Lu Ye's.

"This kid has been clamoring to see his father, so I came here. I heard that you were transferred to a new unit, so I made a big lunch to build a good relationship with my colleagues?"

"Build a good relationship!" said the little girl.

"Ah haha, I will definitely do it." Porus scratched his head in embarrassment.

The couple was chatting, and Lu Ye had no choice but to leave because he couldn't be bothered.

"How did they get in...?" he asked Will.

"I don't know if you ask me..." Will said, "I just came to the imperial capital not long ago."

"Under my command, family members have the right to visit relatives." Esdeath came behind the two of them, put his hand on Lu Ye's shoulder and explained, "Although the palace is heavily guarded, I fought for this right.

of."

After saying that, she looked in the direction of the door.

Lu Ye and Will followed and looked, and there were several more armed soldiers at the door.

They were responsible for taking care of Porus's wife and daughter, and at the same time, they were also responsible for protecting them from going to the wrong place and being killed by mistake.

Seeing Porus talking to his wife and daughter, Lu Yexin said that this visit to relatives can also lead to the palace, Niubi.

From this point of view, Esdeath is really good to his subordinates.

"Did you have a good meal?"

"Yes, look, I'm even fatter!"

"Dad, I want to hug you and lift me high!"

"Okay, here we go!"

Porus lifted his young daughter above his head and let her ride on his neck.

Seeing the happy appearance of Porus' family, Luye suddenly missed Violet.

I wonder if that girl was injured during the mission.

After all, he was fighting three beast warriors. Even if he had prepared in advance, Lu Ye would still be worried.

He took two steps back and left Esdeath's hand respectfully and politely.

"Captain, if nothing happens, I'll leave first."

Before Esdeath could speak, Lu Ye turned around and left through the back door.

Will stared at the direction Lu Ye was leaving and said somewhat depressedly: "It's obviously going to be lunch soon. How nice would it be for everyone to eat together? I haven't finished eating the seafood I brought..."

"Rather than staying with us, he might want to go home." Esdeath murmured.

"Go home?" Will was stunned, "But isn't his hometown in the countryside..."

Esdeath said nothing.

The so-called home does not refer to a house, but the people who can accompany you.

As long as that person is by your side, you will feel happy.

Where that person is is the direction of home.

Luye's home in this world... no, no matter where it is, Violet will always be his home.
To be continued...
