The Cold Blooded Hunter: Seeker of Peace
8. The Black Tooth Christo II
Christo took out three boxes of unknown contents and put them into the heater and joined us at a table.
"So, while waiting for a warm meal so, we'll tell you a little..." Christo put both his hands on the table, "How does the story say the city of Surabaya was destroyed in just a short time?"
"Uncle uncle's mind, in just a matter of hours this city was destroyed..." I raise my shoulders, "And uncle wants to hear the full story? Just ask Twilight..."
Christo looked at Dusk, "So your name is Dusk, huh? I want to hear the details of the destruction of this city of Surabaya from you who may have seen its destruction directly."
Dusk began to tell stories, while I watched Christo's appearance more closely.
In my opinion, Christo's performance really reflects that he is a Hunter rank S, he at least I estimate to have a very great ability when he saw it can catch us who ran first. It's only natural because he's older than us...
He was carrying two objects on his back, which was probably his weapon. And one more thing, I've actually been thinking about this since...
"Uncle, why is uncle called the Black Tooth?" I asked as I pointed at my own back, "And what did uncle carry on uncle's back?"
Christo grasped the handle of the thing he was carrying on his back and pulled it.
"I'm called the Black Tooth because of the weapons I have..." Christo held up his weapon high and he pointed it at my neck, "This weapon I call the Black Toothball lo..."
Christo pulled the machete again and placed it on the table, "If I press this button, it will come out like this..."
Christo showed one of the buttons of the two buttons on the border between the machete iron and the hilt and pressed it.
Sharp teeth black out from the middle and extend to pass through the sharp side of the machete.
"If I press it again, then these teeth will be stored back, and if I press this button..." Christo pressed the button again and lifted it up, "Look carefully..."
Christo stood up and pointed the end of his cleaver forward, "If I press this button, then this cleaver will generate heat..."
He pressed the button and suddenly, the sharp side of his machete turned a fiery red, there was even smoke coming out of the burning iron.
"Black Toothpads are made of Flaming metal which is found mostly abroad. This kind of metal is found in many..." Christo kept the machete again, "I don't think it'll be any use telling you guys because you're both kids..."
It felt like I wanted to strangle this arrogant uncle and tell him that I could not be called a child...
But wait, am I not a child? Where do I get the thought that I'm not a child?
"Well, the food's ready..." Christo walked over to the food heater in the store and took out the three foods he had heated, "Let's eat first..."
He served the food in front of us and when it smelled, my stomach screamed and asked for it to be put in my stomach.
"I'm sure you guys haven't eaten a warm meal since yesterday, so I'm giving you this meal..." He gave us two spoons, "Eat it, let's just say the world is ours..."
Dusk had not said anything since then and he took out a spoon and ate his part voraciously.
I smiled faintly and I ate in silence while occasionally glancing at Christo who was eating quietly.
***
As our stomachs were filled with warm food and our hunger was gone, we decided to ask Christo for help in finding the Hunter organization in the city.
Christo who saw him could only exhale, maybe he did not know what else to say...
After finishing our business, Christo led us to the Hunter organization he previously called the SuraBaya Hunter organization.
"Looks, in this city there used to be an S rank Hunter, his nickname was The Red Claw. But I heard he retired..." Christo stroked his chin.
"What's his name?" My toot. If there was such a strong Hunter here, why would Surabaya be destroyed?
"Hmm, his name is..." Christo thought hard, "Ah, her name is Joko Taru..."
My heart was broken when I heard that name...
Joko Taru is my father's name, which I said was retired ten years ago.
"He didn't tell me he was Hunter rank S..." Unknowingly, I muttered to myself.
"Huh? What do you mean he? Do you know him?" Christo heard my mumble and straight away, I was a little surprised.
"Ee, no, I didn't say anything..." I shook my head.
"Don't lie, I know that you said it before when I told you about the Red Claw..." Christo stopped and we stopped.
"Tell me what happened to him, until he couldn't protect Surabaya?" Christo turned around and from his gaze, he was serious about the question earlier.
I clenched my hand, in the end I could not hide my father's identity in the presence of a Hunter that was equal to or even stronger than my father.
"Joko Taru was my father, he retired five years ago when my brother was born, that's all I know..." I'm down.
"Do you know that your father is a strong man?" Christo asked and from the way he spoke, he sounded like he was trying to calm me down.
"What does uncle mean?"
"Joko Taru Si Red Claw is a powerful figure, he is mentioned as being equivalent to ten Hunter rank A. He had strong claws in both hands and he was very agile, like a chicken..."
"That's why your father's other nickname is The Red Chicken..."
"Does father's power just like that?" I asked with my head still down.
"No, he could defeat two Monsters that were equivalent to Hunter rank S by himself, he could also fight the forest bear with just his physique alone, and many more..."
"But I have to know, where is he until he doesn't protect Surabaya?" Christo looked back at me.
"He's... He died trying to help my family escape..." I shed tears, "I didn't know he was that strong..."
Christo looked down and he looked a little angry, but he didn't show it to me.
"I hope you're wrong, let's walk again..." Christo raised his face and walked over again while pulling both of our hands.
