The Hunter System
Chapter 131 - Surprising Information From Mina
Inside a special treatment room, in a hunter-gatherer hospital.
Alvin stood beside Brondy Lewis' bed, staring at Brondy who was sleeping quietly like a baby.
While looking at the face of the person who had been very eager to kill, he recalled the memory of the weight of life he had spent 5 years under the Brondy.
At that time he was eager to chop up and kill Brondy. But, when the person he hated so much was now in a state of helplessness, he so did not have the heart to do the thing he used to imagine it. Just a few hours ago, he had the same intention.
Alvin had actually prepared a cruel retaliation also on Brondy. But he couldn't bear to do that to a crippled Brondy.
'Shit, I can't do it.'
["You didn't do what you had in mind this afternoon?"]
'No.'
["..."]
'He's been tortured enough for a few months. Losing freedom and being shunned by those who used to follow him wherever he went.'
["Yes. If the hospital director finds out that all his family members are dead. He also might not be taken care of anymore."]
After remaining silent for a while while staring at Brondy's life face for the last time, Alvin finally thrust a dagger into the man's heart to end his suffering.
"Goodbye to the bad past" muttered Alvin, after feeling Brondy's heart rate had stopped.
After leaving the hospital, Alvin threw away 5 pieces of grilled meat he had previously wanted to give Brondy.
This afternoon, while his emotions were still unstable, he thought of feeding the grilled meat to Brondy before telling him that it was the flesh of his brother and father by showing him the video Raymond had recorded.
He thought it would be nice to see Brondy devastated after learning that his entire family had died and that he himself had eaten their flesh.
However, upon seeing the helpless Brondy, he loses his desire to carry out the plan.
"Do you think I'm inconsistent with what I've planned?"
["No. It takes time to calm down to make a good decision. It's just an emotional fight, not a physical fight, anyway"]
["Even though I lost the interesting spectacle, but your final decision is quite human. A little unpleasant indeed persecuting the weak."]
Alvin smiled wryly, "thank you for your praise, Rimi."
......................
The city of S is in an uproar when it learns of the death of Norman Lewis, the chairman of the dictatorial Association who for the past few years began to be hated by the citizens of S City, especially the hunters of S City.
There was almost no other news written by the local media other than the news about the collapse of the Lewis family and how the condition of the Lewis family castle that burned down to leave no buildings in it other than the wall surrounding the area of existence of the castle ruins.
Unfortunately, until now the media has not known who has done the deed. At first all the media, hunters, and residents, thought the Maxwell family had carried out an attack on the Lewis family. However, for the past few days, after Dungeon Break, they knew that the Maxwell family did not appear to have come out of its fortress at all.
"No, the Maxwell family never left their stronghold after Dungeon Break the other day" Loman Griffin, a spokeswoman for the S City Hunter Association, told a news conference.
"But we found CCTV footage of Ms. Maxwell going out of the gate" one journalist said.
After conducting an investigation through CCTV footage and talks with Jack Paul, Lowe finally knew that the man without which energy he had encountered near the gate of the fortress was the hunter responsible for the deaths of all Lewis family members.
Lowe had already investigated the initial relationship of the feud between Alvin Rufino and Norman Lewis and he finally knew the root of the problem.
After he went deeper, he also just found out that Norman has many enemies in City S. Merely, neither the hunter nor the guild dared to oppose him.
Every hunter who dared to oppose Norman suddenly disappeared from City S and in the end all the hunters knew that the hunters who disappeared had been Norman imprisoned in a special cell inside fortification.
So, Alvin was actually just one of the enemies of the Lewis family who ultimately acted to get rid of the dictator.
Knowing this, Lowe, who initially wanted to make an official arrest on Alvin, finally abandoned his intentions and wanted to keep the truth until he later met and spoke to Alvin first.
And again, there are still other things that make Lowe did not dare to make an official arrest even though he already has CCTV recording evidence. That's because there are 6 world hunters involved and killed in the incident.
If the news reached the public, the problem would not only occur in S City. Problems will spread throughout the world.
.........
What Lowe just said changed the course of the conversation. All the journalists present looked at each other. They were actually also curious as to who had closed that S rank Dungeon in T City.
With the consent of Cyntia, whom Lowe had already contacted after Loman Griffin made an investigation into CCTV footage around the Maxwell family fortress, Lowe eventually used Cyntia as a temporary diversion, before he could talk to Alvin.
Fortunately, Lex who was eventually questioned by journalists in T City also gave the same testimony until the transfer of the issue went well.
.........
Lowe turned to Jack who was sitting to his right. Jack does not return to City T because he met Lowe before he boarded an invitation helicopter, to protect Alvin.
"The Central Association has contacted me" Lowe said slowly, showing the message he received.
"The mayor also contacted me" said Loman, who sat to Lowe's left.
Jack took a long breath. He had expected that what Alvin was doing would cause a big problem. But, he knew, the problem would be much greater when the World Hunter Association already knew that their 6 best hunters had also died in the incident.
"I'll come with you both to be witnesses" Jack said softly.
......................
"Don't worry. We will protect you this time" Cyntia said, as she watched Alvin appear serious at a news conference on her phone.
Alvin turned to Cyntia and smiled bitterly while shaking his head.
"Although not now, I actually really hope to be summoned by the chairman of the Central Association."
Cyntia scrunched her eyebrows together. "What do you mean?"
Alvin let out a long sigh before informing Cyntia of the information. It was the information that made him very surprised when Mina told him.
"Actually, the chairman of the Central Asoasiasi is one of the people responsible for the presence of Dungeon gates in Southeast Asia," said Alvin slowly.
Cyntia was wide-eyed, while Alvin was smiling mirically at the sight of the woman's shocked expression
