The Hunter System
Chapter 90 - Masked Horde
Billy knows Alvin's in town S. Vina told him. But, as he saw Alvin emerge from the door of the hall, he remained shocked as well, especially when their gazes met each other.
'What does this guy like?'
...…...
Alvin immediately approached the most influential group of people who were the center of attention in the hall and immediately made the important people surprised when he saw the person he greeted first.
“Nona Cruz,” greet Alvin on Ivory, with a friendly smile.
Ivory, who also hopes to meet Alvin, of course, returned his greetings kindly.
People can see Ivory's cheerful attitude that has not been seen in her since.
“You already know each other?” arthur asked as he looked at Alvin and Ivory alternately.
“Ya, uncle,” says Alvin.
While Ivory, he just nodded with a blushed face.
Ivory then looked at Vina, who said that she would meet him with Alvin in this place. Ivory wanted to thank Vina for making Alvin come by pretending to ask her to deliver a sample of their product.
However, Ivory was shocked when she saw the cold face and gaze of the woman beside Vina, who was staring intently at her almost unblinkingly.
‘What's with him?’
Cyntia was even still staring angrily at him, even though Ivory had already tried to smile at the woman.
“I seemed to spoil the atmosphere,” thought Alvin who could also see Cyntia's angry expression once he was there.
But, he had no other choice. He was originally here to look after Vina if there was an attack from George and his hired men. But now he had come to speak important things to Cyntia.
Alvin finally went over to Cyntia, who was immediately tensed-faced as Alvin looked at her two eyes with a serious face.
"Miss Tia. Can we talk?"
For the first time since their meeting back, Cyntia finally looked Alvin's two eyes properly.
Cyntia was delighted when Alvin finally invited her to speak. But, the current atmosphere was really not supportive for them to be able to speak alone. He regretted that a little.
......................
About 20 minutes earlier...
Alvin had just gotten off the taxi when Mina asked him to check the map of the Dungeon gates.
There was something new that Alvin saw as he looked at the transparent map. There were 4 purple dots there, which he had never seen before in any city he had ever been to.
“What is this purple color?”
[“A gate document that should only be above the year 2080,”] Mina said.
Surprisingly, Alvin could hear Mina laughing after that.
“Why are you laughing?”
[“Because I'm so happy.”]
“... What makes you happy? Will this purple gate be a kind of treasure gate?”
[“.... Why do you think only treasures?”]
“Because that's what makes you happy, maybe?”
[“That's you! Don't equate me with you.”]
“.... Then, what does this purple point mean?”
[“It's a gate that can be opened at any time. The Dungeon Maker could instantly take out monsters as he wished, from that gate. I mean, no gate lock magic.”]
“What?!”
So surprised, Alvin even to the point of shouting. It made the people who passed by around him immediately turn to him.
‘Then, aren't these 4 points very dangerous for the citizens of the city?’
Alvin then checked the magic power of the gate which showed that all four were A rank gates.
["It is very dangerous if people are not evacuated immediately. Especially if it's an S rank gate. Thankfully it was an A."]
‘Do I enter this gate first before they open it?’
[“Do not. If you enter one of the gates, the creature that made the gate will probably open the other 3 gates immediately. You better tell this to the people at the hotel first so they can evacuate the people. They're important people in this town, right? People will listen to them."]
'You're right.'
Alvin quickly ran across the road to the Royal Hotel.
[“Meet Cyntia. Ask him and his three bodyguards to tell everyone this. If he did, everyone would probably believe.”]
‘I hope he can trust me.’
Alvin recalled how the unwilling Cyntia looked at him all at once. It made him not sure Cyntia would listen and trust him. In fact, according to him, Cyntia would probably refuse to be spoken to.
[“He will listen to you. Trust.”]
'Either why, I was rather moved to hear your words this time.'
[“...”]
‘Let's see later.'
["Hmmm.."]
'So, why is the gate different from other gates? And what makes you happy?’
[“It looks like today was a trial run by the Dungeon maker. That's why the gate showed up here. We're probably gonna meet the creature that did the test. That's why I'm happy."]
That's what Alvin knew before he went to the 7th floor of the hotel, to tell Cyntia.
......................
Cyntia looked at Alvin confusedly at his request. However, he finally spoke to Alvin half-whispering.
“Is there anything important? I can't leave this place right now."
“This is very important. Please believe in me just this once.”
Cyntia. The sentence was like a plea and he did not want Alvin to hate him for ignoring him.
Cyntia looked at the people around her who were also silent, trying to eavesdrop on what they were talking about.
As her gaze stopped on Ivory, Cyntia suddenly stepped forward closer to Alvin, then whispered in his ear.
"Do you want to tell me what George's gonna do?"
Alvin was surprised to hear that. Especially when Cyntia approaches. But, he remained silent as Mina and Rimi shouted asking him to stand still and not back away.
"Do you know that?"
"Yes. We're on standby."
Alvin nodded.
Cyntia finally took a step back, when she saw Ivory's face looked sad. He then looked at Alvin's face again, then smiled at him.
A smile that Alvin would never forget in his entire life. This was the first time Cyntia had smiled at him since they met again.
"You go home first. It's dangerous here. Later that night I'll see you" said Cyntia.
Glup...
["Hey! You forgot your goal?"]
"Tia."
Cyntia was somewhat surprised when Alvin called her name informally.
"Y-yes?"
"There's going to be a Dungeon Break."
Cyntia nodded slowly.
"Huh?"
"Quick evacuation of people. There will be a Dungeon Break around this hotel. There will be 4 gates open. Please believe me."
Cyntia was silent for a moment. Likewise with people who are sharpening their hearing to listen to the half-whispering conversation.
It was only after more than 10 seconds that Cyntia finally responded, "I understand."
Cyntia then turned her head and called her three bodyguards.
'W-wow... He immediately believed?'
["Geek.."]
"Yes, miss Tia?" said Sarah who just arrived near Cyntia and Alvin.
“Please evacuate everyone. Also ask the hotel to immediately vacate this hotel.”
“Is the situation that dangerous, miss? The attack will begin?”
“Not about that. There will be a Dungeon Break.”
“What?!”
“Do sa...”
Cyntia immediately jumps in front of Arthur before he finishes his sentence to catch a flying knife with a large magic power, also high speed.
No one was aware of the attack.
They were previously shocked when they heard that there would be a Dungeon Break and were even more shocked when they saw Cyntia and Alvin suddenly jump in front of Arthur.
Before everyone in the hall knew of the Dungeon Break, the atmosphere of the room was chaotic as dozens of leather-masked men entered the hall and locked the door.
...…...
“If you all do not want to die, get away near the wall. We will only deal with the Maxwell family!”
Exclaimed the slender man who stood in the leading position of dozens of leather masked men.
To give the effect of shock, the leader of the mob directly attacked the people nearby by throwing a small knife that instantly killed them.
After the leader of the mob took action, everyone ran over to the wall, until now there were only members of the Maxwell family and Zayn family members in the middle of the hall.
The leader of the horde finally came closer to those distinguished people.
.........
Cyntia was surprised to see Alvin's speed of motion. Although Alvin did not manage to catch the knife, being able to notice the attack alone had left Cyntia shocked.
He saw that even his S-ranked guards were unaware of the attack. Likewise with his father, Sam and Felix who are also ranked S. They were not aware of the attack.
