The Cold Blooded Hunter: Seeker of Peace
92. City 6
Many cities have been destroyed since three centuries ago, since the emergence of the first gate in the world, precisely in Paris.
During that time, countless lives were lost in battle against the Monsters that had emerged from the gate, and countless cities were destroyed by the battle or destroyed by the Monsters who were looking for food, as well as countless cities that were destroyed by the battle, including the city we found.
There are only a few cities that have been successfully defended, including Surabaya, Malang, Jakarta, Denpasar as said by Andhika, New Washington, Tokyo, Kyoto, Shanghai, and others, the rest is destroyed leaving memories.
The city we came to did not have a full name, just a number, which is a city of 6 which I myself do not know what it means.
"According to the map given by Hunter's uncle in my town, the names of some small towns are indeed not words consisting of more than two syllables, but rather one syllable, it could even be one letter or one to two numbers." Andhika explained and I nodded.
I see what that means, naming a city must have required a great imagination, while the humans were now only focused on the art of fighting, so the level of their imagination was, well, not too high, even below average.
Even if there are those who have more imagination, even that is only on researchers and firearms makers, I think...
We walked towards the entrance of city 6, before the two men carrying rifles pointed their guns at the two of us.
"Stop! Who're you?!" one of them asked in a loud tone, "Jawab used to be in!"
If I think based on the incident in Surabaya when RedWhite arrived there, maybe they suspect us as ********* because of the weapons we carry.
Many know that the average of the******** are children to teenagers who carry weapons with fierce and creepy faces, yes that is because they are levied by the ******* in the city that the Monster destroyed.
I pulled out my two swords then placed them on the ground and took off the Chicken Claw Fire then placed them on the ground, I lowered my bag after which raised both of my hands, "I am not *******! You can check my bag!"
Andhika took down Keris the Lion King and her bag and raised both her hands, "I am also not *******!"
The two advanced while continuing to point their rifles, one of them lowered his rifle and checked my bag, before he took out a few small stones from my bag, "Are you merchants?"
Please, why is their first look at us traders? Didn't they see the Black Fire Sword, Demonic Dragon Sword, and Lion King Keris that we brought?!
"You carry the essence of life quite a lot, so you are seen buying a lot of the essence of life from a Hunter in a city then planning to sell it in another city for a profit." said the person while glancing at his friend, "They can be trusted."
The others who were still raising their rifles looked at me with probing gazes before he asked, "What is your relationship with Star grandfather?"
Okay, it's been revealed...
"What does uncle mean?" Well, pretending to be stupid doesn't know anything seems like a pretty good move for starters...
"Corn, please don't lie, you obviously know something..." Andhika said then whistled casually.
Damn, there's no other way...
"I am the granddaughter of Star's grandfather, I inherited the Black Fire Sword from my grandfather and I brought my father's Fire Chicken Claw named Joko Taru."
One long sentence was enough to make both of them silent, even Andhika who already knew the truth that I was her grandson remained silent.
"There's other evidence?" ask his friend, and make me smile thinly.
I took out my grandfather's Hunter identification medal and license card and showed it to both of them.
The two objects were enough to shock them both and they re-entered the essence of life that we were carrying, and one of them raised his rifle and said, "We'll drive to the city, follow us."
I grinned widely, while Andhika just sighed.

"As you can see, city 6 is only controlled by the Hunters, so the system of government has not been neatly arranged, still chaotic." one of them who introduced himself as Asep explained the situation of city 6 to both of us.
His friend Iwan was sent back to the gate to keep watch, after arguing a little at the gate, Asep finally managed to win the debate and deliver us.
"It's not clear who's the mayor here, is it?" Andhika asked and Asep nodded.
As I recall, Indonesia adheres to a democratic system, where the people determine the government, it seems so, but in this city it does not look like the system is implemented properly.
"Aren't you guys doing the election?" tanyaku and Asep shook their heads.
"We've had an election, the results have come out, but the problem now is that the leader we've chosen is abusing his power" Asep replied.
Well, the problem is, it can't be allowed...
I noticed, Asep and Iwan rank as Hunter rank C, and according to Asep the highest rank in this city is rank A, so there is a possibility that the mayor of city 6 is Hunter rank A.
I've never tried to fight other Hunters besides my grandfather, and I've never tried to fight enemies other than Monsters, so I have less experience in fighting humans.
The matter against my grandfather, yaaa, many tricks I had thought of, but unfortunately I could not apply them because the poison in my grandfather's body had spread throughout his body.
So, it's possible that I will have to defeat that rank A Hunter to make this city better than it is now.
But well, if I look at it so far, the city is fine, so there's still nothing I can do if I just hear the story, it needs a direct incident to prove the story. In addition, I had to experience the incident firsthand in order to easily deduce whether it was indeed an abuse of power or not.
"I think I can help you guys." without a plan, Andhika said, and that was enough to surprise Asep.
"What's? Aren't you just merchants?"
And you still think of us as merchants?! Didn't you hear my story?!
"We're not traders, we're little boys who will join RedWhite to become Hunters." I raised my hand, "Our first step in solving the problem starts from here,,, I said,, in city 6 whose mayor is abusing his power!"
