The Cold Blooded Hunter: Seeker of Peace
63. Is that love?
Yes, Alex again began his act of upholding justice for the entire American population that suffered as a result of the lack of security officials provided by Hunter and the military...
But Tom realizes that's not what Alex meant, he just wants his dagger back to slash the human's neck, so Tom holds Alex down and orders him to go to the hinterland.
Alex certainly did not accept his good intentions were blocked, but Tom threatened to put Alex in prison if he did not comply, and Alex was forced to obey Tom's orders.
Tom thought that Alex would run away from the task, but he heard from his subordinates, if in the Amazon, Alex managed to find one white gate and finish it alone.
Tom didn't stop there, he allowed Alex to do what he wanted, as long as he wasn't caught by the American government.
Well, Alex is thrilled beyond measure and he goes straight for information hunting, punctuated by a variety of super dangerous staking tasks in different parts of America, even when he's assigned to Hawaii, the island where the terrible Raid killed one SS-ranked Hunter from IronBlast.
At the age of twenty-five, Alex completed his mission in Australia when he was called back to New Washington and asked to face Tom face-to-face.
The first news Alex received was his promotion to Hunter rank SS, and Alex knew that access to information would be more easily obtained with the position of Hunter rank SS, so he accepted it.
With Alex becoming an SS Hunter rank, StarSam became the strongest Hunter organization in the world, having five SS Hunter rank at once.
But, the burden of the SS Hunter rank was too heavy, he was increasingly assigned to various dangerous areas, and his survival instincts continued to be honed, until he was able to realize the danger a few seconds before the danger occurred.
Various survival skills he learned, but somehow, he began to get fed up with Tom's commands that he felt were charging him.
Upset, Alex confronts Tom when he was twenty-nine and requests a move to IronBlast, the closest Hunter organization he knows.
Well, Tom did just that because IronBlast is still in crisis because of the loss of their SS rank Hunter, and Alex was sent to England.
In England, he meets William, and he sees the awesome power William has, and Alex promises the man will protect Europe as he protects America behind the scenes.
The days he spent in IronBlast, until finally, at the age of thirty, he saw a beautiful woman, who did not look like a Hunter, standing before William with her forced smile.
Just the first time I saw him, Alex was happy, for some reason, he was happy to see the woman smiling, despite being forced.
Later, he found out the name of the woman. He was named Esterosa de Esquede, nephew of the SS Hunter rank who died in the Hawaiian islands named Antonius de Esquede.
Esquede was a military family, it was acknowledged directly by William when questioned by Alex, and the power of the Hunters who came from the Esquede family was great, he said, and at least a quarter of IronBlast members are members of the Esquede family, whether it's a branch family or a main family.
Alex has spent years traveling around Europe, and he keeps hearing of Esterosa's victory against the Monsters, giving Alex even more admiration for him.
And more and more, Alex was confused, was he just amazed at Estherosa or liked it from the other side?

"Joko, what does love mean to you?" alex asked as the two stood on the roof of a building, "Does anyone like them and promise to protect them all body and soul?"
"For me, love isn't that complicated..." Joko looked up at the sky, "But, it's good that we don't talk about it, it's been two hours since Tom's order was taken down, and no human has found us! Think about our safety first!"
Joko stood up and he pointed in a direction, "So we're coming from there, meaning it's west..."
"Don't pretend like you know I outnumber my father and friends." Joko folded her hands, "Remember that..."
And both of them went back to silence...
It had been two hours since the first wave appeared, and the second wave should have appeared two hours after the first wave, but neither of them had seen a single Monster passing in front of them.
Realizing that walking on the ground would not make them be seen by other Hunters moving through the air, the two chose to stand on the roof while circulating their gaze, instead, look up at the sky hoping for help.
"Two hours I guess, or maybe more..." Alex held up his watch, "Has Tom's army really gotten here?"
"It should be..." Joko sat back down, "Our ammunition is exhausted, it is difficult to survive if only rely on the dagger that began to lack gas."
"Are we going back west? To where we left New Starprize?" Alex stood up, "How is it?"
"Maybe, but we'll have to find other weaponry in reserve in case our daggers run out of gas..." Joko nodded.
"Did you forget what Flaming metal is? The best heat transfer, so we just take it outside the sheath, and maybe the sun's heat will flow in the blade, while giving it a little heat, that's enough to last" Alex said as he pulled his dagger, and he remembered something.
"Does the Dragon Fang Dagger do it?" joko asked, "This dagger is made of dragon fangs, can fangs receive heat?"
Yes, too, why forget?
Alex scratched his head and he sighed, "Yes already, just follow me..."
"That's them! Everyone, move quickly!"
The sound of screaming rang out and immediately the two turned their heads, and saw a small army moving closer to them.

"I didn't think you were going to go against my orders." Tom folded his arms in front of a large screen that featured the faces of Alex and Joko, "Is that the attitude that SS rank Hunter Black Shadow deserves?"
"In the years I fought under your command, never once did I intend to obey, if the new intention obeyed, otherwise I ran away." Alex raised his shoulders, "So, I want to report, Joko and I managed to sweep the first half of the wave, and we asked for a break."
Tom raised his index finger, "May, but soon, we can't wait long."
"Alright, alright..." Alex nodded, "I'm closed." after that call was closed.
The star standing next to Tom smiled faintly, "I don't think Joko would be that brave going forward to sweep the first half of the wave with Alex."
"If Hunter is below S rank and SS rank, I doubt the truth, if both, I think it's true." said Vigo, "The two look stronger than they were in the meeting room..."
Frans smiled broadly, "Yes, Joko finally began to struggle to forget the events that took her family's life..."
