"Not only do I know your father, we are also teammates through life and death."
This suddenly made me more interested.
"You mean you were teammates?"
"Yes, you know the Annihilator plan from previous years, right?"
"Of course I know, don't you?"
"I am one of those 30 S hunters."
"What happened?"
I became excited when I heard the news about my parents. I patted the table and asked.
"Calm down first, Cheng An."
"What happened?"
"At that time, we were selected by the world and said we were going to enter the portal and completely eliminate the monsters in the portal."
"I know all this, what happened inside the portal?"
"Don't be anxious, just listen to me slowly."
I sat on the seat next to me and slowly listened to Uncle Mu Yun's talk.
"At that time, we chose to enter the portal, but only 10 of us came out. However, among the 10 of us who came out, we did not remember what happened in the portal."
"What? You mean you forgot."
"No, it's not that I forgot, but my memory was modified before it came out."
"What about the confidentiality agreement signed by the World Government and you?"
"When the World Government asked us to sign a confidentiality agreement, we were kept in the dark. We only remembered going in. We didn't remember what happened inside."
"How could this happen? What about the others?"
"Only four of the mysterious hunters who came out are from country z, one from country e, three from country m, one from country y, and one from country r."
"Don't they remember it either?"
"Yes, they don't remember either."
"..."
"After that, the portal disappeared for a while, but the country was still cultivating hunters. The number of hunters gradually increased, and the rights of the hunters also gradually increased."
"Why do you say that?"
"Although the country claims to the outside world that it is to prevent the recurrence of portals, it is all nonsense."
"Why?"
"Today's hunters have become the country's military force. Ambitious countries train a large number of hunters in order to invade other countries."
"Ah? What about our country?"
"The four hunters who returned from our country at that time also established their own hunter guilds, namely He Zhongtian's Yunhe Hall, Zhang Xiao's White Tiger Hall, Shen Xuanran's Jackdaw's Department, and my Hunter Division."
"so much?"
"These are not the only four hunter guilds. These are just four powerful ones. There are many smaller guilds."
"Can the country manage so many guilds?"
"How is it possible? Small guilds rely on big guilds like us to manage them. In fact, small guilds may only have five or six people. They are more like a crusade team."
"So do your four guilds have any intersection?"
Having said this, Uncle Mu Yun lit a cigarette and continued.
"In this world, the greater the strength, the greater the power. Everyone is ambitious. Although the four guilds have all been teammates who have fought together, each of them wants to annex the other."
"Annexation?"
"Who doesn't want greater rights? Annexing a guild means gaining the management rights of that place. Who doesn't want such benefits?"
"So you want me to join to give the guild more power?"
"No, I don't want to participate in the economic war between those guilds. I just think you can change the current situation."
"How could it happen to me, a student, if the state manages it?"
“Do you think the state has the ability to manage these hunters?”
This sentence made me think, is the country really capable of managing these hunters?
"Our country is lucky. The relationship between some countries and hunters has changed. In order to maintain their own security, countries try to please hunters and even spend a lot of money to hire hunters from other countries."
"how so?"
"Only when you have absolute power can you have the right to speak. This is no longer three years ago, kid."
I was so shocked when I heard these things. I originally thought that the simple hunter system turned out to be so complicated.
"Xue'er, please go out first. I have a few words to say to Cheng An."
"Okay, Dad."
Mu Xueer walked out of the office.
"What's wrong? Uncle."
Mu Yun looked at my face and said with a smile.
"You and your father look so much alike."
With that said, Mu Yun took out a stone pendant from the drawer and handed it to me.
"This is?"
"Your father left this for you. He said that if he couldn't come out, he asked me to give it to you."
I took the stone pendant and looked around, but I didn't find anything strange. It was just an ordinary stone.
"By the way, Cheng An, I registered your hunter status for you. From now on, you will be a qualified hunter."
"Ah? But it's me."
"There is nothing wrong with it. The four major guilds are now leaderless. I think you are the one who can change the status quo."
"..."
"I don't know your hunter level from above. Remember to come here tomorrow to test your hunter level."
"Uh-huh."
I originally didn't want to be a hunter, but now I was forced to become one.
"By the way, Cheng An will tell you something again. Maybe this sounds a bit ridiculous."
"What's up?"
"My feeling tells me that your parents were not sacrificed in the portal."
