The Demon Lord System
Chapter 178: Meeting IV
~ 幸せな読書 ~
Everyone other than Rafaela was not surprised, they were already used to receiving something unexpected. Moreover, Kurumi, she knows very well the nature and bad habits of Mayor Jack.
The Diamond kingdom should not have allowed this to happen, but most likely. Mayor Jack was just a piece played by his superior, hence his guise all this time might not be known to the kingdom because the person who helped him had quite a high status in the Diamond kingdom.
Ling was currently just smiling lamenting his future, Bounty? That didn't worry him, the problem was how Xan Zhang would behave when he saw the bounty with Ling's face? Although his hair was different from before, Ling was sure Xan Zhang was not stupid. She must have understood why her master's hair was bleached or maybe she was thinking because of something urgent to make Ling dye her hair.
"No problem, high-level Hunter rental. I'm lazy to put out energy just for this mayor." Ling said throwing away the bounty paper.
"Lord leave it to us, they're not a big threat to us..." Levi and Arthur volunteered.
But Ling shook his head, giving a simple reason that his combat power should be kept secret until he meets Xan Zhang. The reason is simple, however, Ling has just come to the Diamond kingdom, attacking the mayor whatever the reason, whatever the reason, what was certain to be blamed was Ling because he was an outsider whereas mayor Jack was insider and Earl, the Diamond King would definitely defend him.
In short, for a while Ling wanted the king not to pay attention to him.
After he finished hearing Ling's words, the two servants who volunteered immediately nodded their heads. They already understood, Ling told them to immediately hire a Hunter. But even so, that does not mean Levi and Arthur will be silent, they will also help the Hunters.
It's like a bountiful reward for the Hunter, they will be known by the kingdom for successfully dispelling many lower rank, middle rank Hunters and mayoral warriors. Although it is actually Levi and Arthur who will contribute too much.

The city of Monday, is currently crowded, especially because the mayor forces who force into each house to check if there are people in the picture.
It doesn't matter if that's all they do, but they're also a little blackmailed for protection tax reasons. This made the surrounding residents angry and protested to the soldiers.
The protest made the atmosphere in the city more crowded and boisterous, and with the crows flying above became even more boisterous. From the top of the roof of the house, many Hunters were walking on it while looking left and right.
"They seem pretty tough, I didn't manage to find it..."
"You're right, I don't know but I think this guy's powers are much stronger than ours. I don't know it's just my fighting instinct telling me..."
The money hunters helped also come into trouble finding Ling's trail. Because, only this time they are made difficult to search in their own city, but to find criminals who run away, they do not need from 10/15 minutes.
Meanwhile, hundreds of meters from there, Levi stood in a tall building while looking straight ahead. Despite looking ahead, Levi had many spies, he could see clearly using his crow-eye.
Levi and Arthur were not allowed to make a fuss, hence they did the suit instead. However, Levi seems to not accept because he lost to Arthur.
"You just came..." Levi felt the presence of Arthur and his entourage behind him. Among them, there was a wounded man, apparently beaten by Arthur.
"Yo crow! There was a bully earlier, my path was a little late."
"The reason (*eyeering Arthur) is that you're having trouble coping with them, aren't you?" Levi asked with a disdainful smiling face.
"Sad, they're just lucky, if I'm allowed to kill already I'm done. It's better we get back soon..."
Levi, Arthur and the group of Hunter Class A and B, ran towards Ling's residence. His residence is actually quite close to the mayor, maybe 300 meters from his residence mayor Jack. Once there, the Hunters are treated quickly by Levi, only minor burns (for Levi) can be easily healed.
The Hunters who were there were amazed by the two people in front of him. Because, even the S rank Hunter who faced Arthur earlier received injuries with just a few exchanges of attacks. They realized the two figures in front of him were monsters, and they also began to realize that the master of the two of them was a young man who was being discussed.
Ling!
"Sir..."
Arthur and Levi lowered his head, behind Ling was seen Kurumi following him.
All the Hunters opened their mouths, so these two monsters belonged to just a boy?! You serious?! How come! They begin to think that the mayor wants the Hunters to be the victim to defeat this young man. The strength of his servants was truly so great, how could they possibly defeat these two monsters?
They were also certain, these two monsters had yet to show their true strength.
"Welcome to my residence, introduce my name is Ling. From now on you will have to guard my residence from mayor Jack's soldiers. You have nothing to fear, because my two soldiers will help you, because they will disguise themselves as hunters to increase your popularity? Hows it? Isn't this not a bad deal? Moreover, I will give you 10 silver coins every day..."
The Hunters couldn't cover up his greed, they flocked to pay tribute to Ling. Ling did not take it seriously, but rather his gaze was locked with a cat-eared girl leaning against the wall.
Actually was... This was something very surprising to Ling. He had heard something that there was a race of half animals, they were hiding and disguised as ordinary humans. But there are also those who end up captured by soldiers and executed for being considered pests.
Ling entered the residence leaving the Hunters along with the two demon pillars in front of the courtyard.
"Kurumi. please call the female of the animal race.." (*while walking in without turning to Kurumi)
"According to your orders, sir..."
