The Cold Blooded Hunter: Seeker of Peace
18. The arrival of RedWhite
My grandfather took care of me and Dusk for two days, and all we did was go around the city, while occasionally watching my grandfather's actions against the Monsters.
The two days with him made me realize that I was still weak.
I still think about what Christo said four days ago, when he told me that there are Hunters as young as us who have quite high abilities. If time permits I want to meet him, to talk about something...
And also, the words of my grandfather two days ago are still ringing clearly in my mind. Being a Ruler I still don't understand? I certainly wouldn't want to, but her words made me have something in my heart, to dare to fight back...
"The sky, do you remember who killed your family? Who forced you to live in fear like this?"
"It's the monster that causes it all. You have to go ahead and finish off every monster you meet, to avenge your family's death, maybe they're causing your friends' deaths."
"Grandfather knows that grandfather has no right to decide the future of a young child who has just lost those closest to him, has absolutely no right..."
"But try to think, if you live like a normal person and have many relatives, then your relatives were killed by the Monster because of your incompetence, that's the result of your decision now..."
That's all my grandfather said, and it was enough to remind me of the deaths of my brother, my father and my mother, and all my friends whom I hadn't found in two days with my grandfather.
Well, one word suddenly flashed through my mind at the thought of all that...
Vengeance...
I don't know where my mind can get that word from, which I didn't even understand before.
"Langit, let's go back to SuraBaya headquarters, it's already evening, it will be difficult for us to return if it's dark..." My grandfather said while putting some bread in the bag I brought from the empty house that originally contained gardening tools, hehehe...
I woke up and looked at my grandfather again. He was wearing the iron gloves we found in my father's study and he said when I asked him why he was wearing the gloves,
"Oh, grandfather wears it so that grandfather can more easily fight if if Katana grandfather detaches from the grip of grandfather's hand, another reason is to be cool..."
We came back with my grandfather walking behind us, guarding us from the Monsters from behind.

In the morning, on an armored train traveling at high speed...
"How's Christo's cell phone signal?" A man with a tall and muscular body asked as he looked at the skinny man in front of him.
"The signal is still there, it's just that the position often moves, but in my opinion, the cell phone signal often stops in a small store..." The man replied, "And every morning, the signal goes out of the SuraBaya headquarters and the sore goes back to the base."
"Little shop?" Asked the man, "Well, that's only natural because it's possible that the holder of the phone is just looking for food. It was not easy to survive in such a Monster-filled city. But why does the signal often stop at SuraBaya headquarters?"
"It's possible that Christo's cell phone holder is a Hunter, which is why he made the base a shelter, not knowing exactly whether it was like that or not..." The man exhaled heavily while glancing at the window next to his work desk.
"Master Frans, we can already see a small town. What's your order?" A man came in and saluted him.
The man called Frans closed his eyes and said, "We stop there, we'll rest first before continuing on..."
Frans' words were cut off by the man's thin body, "Not stop for a moment, we'll stop there. That's the city of Surabaya..."
"How else, every weak Monster that comes our way is always shot and occasionally some A rank Hunter comes down to fight against that Monster. And one more thing, the speed of this carriage had already exceeded the speed of Black Shadow..." The skinny man said, "We should have reached Surabaya within four days for those two reasons."
Black Shadow is an SS rank Hunter who is said to be the best killer in the entire world that is difficult to pursue because of his wind-like speed. He joins the world of Hunter because he wants to kill creatures other than corrupt humans, namely officials or corrupt civilians...
"What are your orders, Mr Frans?" Ask the man who just came in again.
"We stop there, ask all the troops to prepare. For the troops into several groups, we will travel around Surabaya to find survivors. The rest I'll tell you in the squad car." Frans said, staring at the skinny man, "You help me, Son..."
The man called Son nodded and he came out of Frans' room.
Frans stood up while pulling his long coat which he placed on the back of his seat and walked while wearing his long coat.

"I will divide the army into small groups. The purpose should have been given by the Son, but I will explain it again..." Frans stood in front of dozens of people with well-built bodies.
Dozens of people in front of him were obedient and stood still while listening to what Frans explained.
No one dared to cut until Frans gave permission, because Frans is a figure who is quite respected in RedWhite, even the world though.
Frans is the chairman of the largest Hunter organization in Indonesia, RedWhite. He was the twenty-first leader and he was nicknamed The Dragon Spear.
In addition, Frans is the younger brother of the previous RedWhite chairman, Vigo, nicknamed The Dragon Sword.
The two became Hunter rank S at the same time and the world knew them as a pretty great duo. Both have followed many attacks to various countries, along with Hunter rank S which is said to be equivalent to eight Hunter rank SS, the Swordsman Black Cloak which is now reportedly unknown.
"Anyways, do you understand?" Frans finished his explanation with a question.
Everyone in unison answered Yes and after that, Frans divided the army based on their abilities and rank.
Dividing troops into smaller groups may seem easy, but it is actually very difficult because it requires knowledge of the composition of a fighting group.
In a fighting group, there are two divisions based on attack distance, namely long distance and close range.
Close range usually includes protectors and fighters. They were in a forward position to withstand the attack. Their ability is more emphasized on the endurance as well as the strength of the body to withstand attacks.
The long range covers the shooter and they will be in the back position to help close range with their shots. Their ability is emphasized on the precision of the shots as well as the cooperation of the group, which is why the long distance is a little interested when their position is safer from the attacks of Monsters compared to the close range.
"Well, once the division is complete, you will move according to my command." Frans finished dividing the troops and began deploying the groups according to his plan.
He himself took part in a group that toured within the city along with about twenty other A rank Hunters.
He did not deploy a lot of low-rank troops because he could not guess if there was more than one SS-ranked Monster in the city, if that happened then they would have difficulty escaping due to the burden of a low rank Hunter.
That's why Frans only deployed Hunter rank A and three Hunter rank S including himself in the investigation this time.
"Now, I'll see the power of the SS rank Monster that Uncle Star had fought before..." Frans grinned as he clenched his hands at the thought of that.
