The Cold Blooded Hunter: Seeker of Peace
221. Towards the city where it all started, Surabaya...
"The armored train route to Surabaya is still there, huh?" I smiled seeing him.
Being the chairman of the Hunter organization was not as bad as I thought, my second deputy named Vina helped me a lot to overcome things, and after I assigned him to Kalimantan with Dusk, I felt the burden of my work was back as before.
And the armored train route to Surabaya that still exists is one thing that has been entertaining me all along.
Wh why? Because I have a plan to look back at the city where it all started, how it has been after seven years since its destruction.
The last time I came to him after becoming vice chairman, the condition was very bad, many monsters scattered on every side of the city and in power like Surabaya is their home.
I am upset of course immediately finish off many monsters there, but unfortunately not all because I am alone and I still have not memorized the entire map of Surabaya.
All I remember is the position of the RedWhite branch headquarters named SuraBaya and the position of my house which turned out to be very close to the headquarters where I survived there with Dusk and my grandfather first.
My father explained that he had buried my mother and brother in the courtyard of the house, when I arrived the two tombs were still there and saw it make me remember the times of destruction.
"Sir Heaven?" a hand seemed to be moving before my eyes, and I immediately blinked both of my eyes quickly.
"Ah yeah, what's up?" my question, and the Hunter in front of me raised his eyebrows.
"Ehem, so the armored train to Surabaya is ready for you to ride." he said, and I nodded.
Just sec...
"Who told you that I wanted to go to my village?" my many.
I just found out that the cross-Java armored train route still exists, and how do they know when I have no orders?
"I told them." Someone was heard saying, and I saw Dusk enter the room.
"I'll take my leave first..." The Hunter who had said salute then walked out of the room. He also saluted Dusk before closing the door.
Meanwhile, Dusk walked over and sat down in front of me. He looked at me and said, "I told the Hunters to prepare the armored train in preparation for us going to Surabaya."
I looked at him seriously, "Is there a problem there?"
"Nothing is, but I just want to visit the city where we met first" he replied, and it reawakened the memory in my head.
"Ah, yes.." I turned off the laptop then stroked my chin, "So, when can we leave?"
"Even then, according to your orders" he replied, and I nodded.
"Okay, maybe later in the afternoon I'll just leave with you..."

"Sir Heaven, are you kidding me again?! Go out of Jakarta just with Bu Dusk?!"
"Sir Sky, please don't joke! Outside it must be dangerous!"
The Hunters gathered around me, and I just let out my breath.
Since I was considered to have a hobby of disappearing, the Hunters felt more protective of me, they were too hard to protect me, even if there was a serious threat I was taking care of it instead of them...
"Look, I just need a machinist to help me, the rest is not there" I said, and I heard the sound of breathing.
"I'm just asking you to stay in Jakarta and obey Rei's orders, he holds the position of chairman for a while while while I'm outside." I added, "Alright, see you later..."
I climbed on top of the carriage, and when I looked back, the Hunters who had been swarming around me looked like it was heavy to take me off, even though I only went to Surabaya...

"Hey Dusk, doesn't this remind us of something?" I asked as I put both my hands into a trouser bag and stared out the window.
The train was speeding through the lush jungles of Java, and according to the driver's estimate, we will arrive in Surabaya after two days of travel.
Yeah, two days of travel if no monsters come in the way...
I glanced at him sitting on the couch and he was playing his phone, and I just shrugged, I don't think he heard what I said...
It has been more than seven years since I saw the destruction of Surabaya, during that time I have fought many Monsters and finally reached this point, where I lead a Hunter organization founded by my ancestors, which is now the capital of the city, he also became an SS Hunter Rank. My journey remains one step further until I become a Hunter rank SSS.
Come to think of it, maybe I am the one who realized a dream that my brother could not realize before.
My brother named Bintang Satria always dreamed and told my father that he wanted to become a Hunter rank SSS and end the era of Monster invasion. Unfortunately, the one who made it happen was me...
Her dream ended in Surabaya, when she chose to save me instead of saving herself.
What happened all along has shaped me now, a Hunter ranked SS nicknamed Cold Blooded Hunter and leading the strongest Hunter organization in southeast Asia named RedWhite.
"Sky, do you realize anything?" I heard Dusk ask, and I shook my head.
"Aware what?" my many.
"At an age like ours, holding a gun and fighting is not something teenagers usually do" he replied.
"Where did you know that?" my many.
For me, at a young age already holding a firearm and fighting against Monsters in this era is common, even I heard the youngest S rank Hunter in the world named Alteron de Esquede aka my own sister, who is also known as a Hunter, already holding a firearm at the age of seven, at the same age when I started practicing Hunter abilities.
I turned around and walked towards the sofa then sat in front of him, "What do you want to say?"
"In the past, at this young age, we lived a fun teenage life, played with friends, and one more thing, learned about love" she said and she showed her phone, "Like this."
I stared at the screen of his phone deeply, after all what is love? The name of the activity?
"What is love?" as I scratched my head, I really did not understand that one word.
"Sort of like someone for a reasonable reason." he answered, scratching his head, "In this novel is not explained the definition of love anyway, so I find it difficult to explain it to the brain of a fighter like you..."
Do you like someone for a reasonable reason? Looks like Carroline said it before...
"Carroline said it too, about love so.." I remember it a little, Carroline once said it when we were stuck in another world, "And he said that he loved me. What's that supposed?"
I saw the face of Dusk filled with anger, and I was silent, did I say something wrong?
