The Cold Blooded Hunter: Seeker of Peace
49. The Truth behind the Return of the Red Claw
"By forcing Frans to tell me..." The man put on his horror face, "Only the Red Claw can do it..."
The star sighed and he raised his shoulder, "I didn't take him."
"Eh?"
"Your son, the Sky of Satria who carried him." said the Star, "After all, your son has become strong, having a firearm is not strange to him."
"Ah, Sky, huh? I don't know how many months I've left her." The man smiled faintly and lowered his head, "He must know that his father loves him very much..."
As the man lowered his head, Star pulled out her phone and handed it to the man, "Taru, talk to Sky..."
Yes, the man in the black tie was Joko Taru, a S rank Hunter from Indonesia and he was nicknamed The Red Claw.
His trademark outfit was indeed that, a long black suit, with his underwear was a white black tie shirt, occasionally he wore sunglasses while on duty.
"No need..." Joko flicked her hand, "I don't want to make her sad."
"With you acting like you're dead, it's devastated..." The star turned off his phone, "Is that the right attitude of a father?"
"No, my goal is not so..." Joko shook her head, "I want Sky to get used to the loss and various challenges in his life."
Just nod, "Well, if that's what you want, then I'd like to ask..."
"With you showing yourself before me, are you willing to reappear before Heaven?"
"No, and also, I will end my service at RedWhite on Raid now, after which I will join StarSam." Joko turned around, staring at the window of the plane that showed the scorching clouds of daylight.
"Starsam, huh? Just make sure you understand everything those people say." The star patted Joko on the shoulder, "Everything you're going to do, decide for yourself, don't try to ask me, because all your decisions are for your future, not mine."
"Everything you choose right now, will affect your future." added the Star, "So, think carefully of all your decisions."
"Eh, really? I thought you'd be mad..." Joko looked at the Star in disbelief, "How come?"
"I'm good this is wrong, hard on you wrong, what do you want exactly?!" The star pulls Joko's shirt collar, "Jawab!"
"And I'm confused, what makes you this way..." Joko scratched her head, "Then, I'll tell you everything I've been through these past few months..."
Soii, after the morning that Surabaya was destroyed by the Monster attack, time went very slowly.
Joko Taru survives under the rubble of his roof with difficulty until finally, he manages to get out of the ruins, and as he exits, he sees that it is already afternoon, he also saw no sky anywhere.
He thought that Heaven was dead, so he dismantled the ruins of his house and searched for something he had hidden under his bed, the safe that had stored all his equipment.
The equipment, namely a long coat, white shirt, black tie, black trousers, black mask, sunglasses, watch, and black-bladed knife, which part includes firearms as well...
After wearing the equipment he was looking for until it became dark and ate nothing since morning, he went to SuraBaya headquarters and saw the entire headquarters.
Well, he came just looking for drinks and food and then left, before that, he opened all the locks on the base so that whoever Hunter that came to the base had no trouble opening the door, he said, including prying the storage room door.
After that, he left SuraBaya headquarters, armed with knives, clothes, food, and flashlights, he went to the next town, but unfortunately the escape route was blocked by the Monsters.
Knowing that fighting nights would not win him, he went to an empty house and rested there.
While resting, he looked for a way to escape without fighting, because he did not have his flagship firearm, but a simple version of the firearm, several times used to fight, the knife could be destroyed. Joko didn't want that to happen.
And one surprising thing, Joko had met with Christo and spoke briefly.
"You met Christo?" The star was surprised, "But Frans didn't tell me..."
"That's because I asked Christo to shut up about my safety. Besides, I also told Christo that I was going back to the Hunter world, but I was going to work for StarSam." Joko replied, "That alone is very calculating..."
After his encounter with Christo, Joko goes through the gap that Christo made and he travels on the vast island of Java.
Two months later, after he managed to destroy a wave of Monsters with firearms he found in a city he did not know what name, he finally reached Jakarta.
His arrival is very hidden, he entered Jakarta when it was dark and he infiltrated RedWhite headquarters without being known by the guards and met Frans.
Frans is surprised by the appearance of Joko Taru who is said to have been killed, he even plans to announce it to the world, but Joko forces Frans not to do so, he even plans to make it public, and also he asked about the whereabouts of the Fire Chicken Claw that he left at SuraBaya headquarters.
Frans questioned Joko's question, and Joko answered briefly, "I want to leave my inheritance to my son who might meet with Christo and be led to Surabaya's headquarters."
"Telat ah, Christo was killed in Surabaya for fighting the same Monster that your father once fought." Frans replied, "And also, the Claw of the Fire Rooster is now taken by your father and your son, he said..."
"Ah, so it is..." Joko nodded, "Then let me stay here first."
Afterwards, Joko rests at Frans' house and accidentally meets his wife who is changing her clothes, causing misunderstanding.
Fortunately Frans thought that Joko Taru was still as stupid as before, otherwise the corridor of his house would be destroyed by his second fight because Frans thought that Joko had abused his wife...
After a few days of living in Frans' house, Joko decides to become RedWhite's secret protector, until the news of the Raid to Iceland proposed by the Stars is heard by him.
"And in order to get a chance to talk to my father again without being noticed by many, I finally decided to take part in this Raid, and also talking to uncle Tom Cage about me moving to the United States." Joko pointed to a large bag, "That's my luggage to the United States."
The star patted Joko's shoulder again, "Alright, I accept everything you decide..."
Joko smiled widely and thanked the Stars.
Before the two return to the main cabin, Bintang tells Joko something important.
"What?! The sky became the Flame Emperor's container?!" Joko was surprised to hear the news of his son who became the container of an Emperor.
He knew the story of the crucible, Lord, Emperor, and Divine Legion because the Stars had told him about it.
"Are you sure you'll let him? He could be the target of the Ice Emperor, Black Emperor, Dragon Lord, and all their troops! The life of Heaven will continue to be in danger!"
"That's why I still haven't sent Heaven to RedWhite for that reason, he still can't fight an enemy equal to him. Submitting it to RedWhite will only make itself revealed to the world and heard by the enemy." The star smiled, "Just calm down, everything is in my calculations..."
"I hope your count isn't wrong..."
"So you've seen me miscalculate?"
"Earlier, when my father used to take me shopping to the market, and I miscalculated the change."
"That was..."
"Whatever..."
