The Spirit Hunter System
Break In
Seeing how Adam behaved so indifferently, Alicia felt somewhat confused. For some reason, he even felt somewhat disappointed.
"Why are you acting like you're a stranger, Mr Owl? Aren't you also a member of the Department of Mysteries?"
Hearing that, Adam nodded lightly with a smile on his face.
"To be more precise, half a part of the Department of Mysteries."
"You mean ..."
"You yourself must have known, Miss Phoenix. The reason I became a member of the Mystery Department was not because of money or wealth. Instead, I just don't want to cause much trouble.
Besides ... I'm just a killer."
Alicia looked towards Adam with an expression of disbelief.
"Isn't that just a false rumor?"
"No." Adam shook his head. "I am a murderer."
"Why? I don't think you're that kind of person."
"Isn't this how the system works?"
"..."
Looking towards the confused Alicia, Adam explained.
"No matter how neutral I am, I have the power.
Despite helping to deal with the killers and do good things, because I could be a threat .. wouldn't they (the government) still think of me as a fugitive or something?"
"You're underestimating the government too much, Mr Owl! The government is not at all what you say.
We uphold justice. We set everything in balance and in place.
I know, Alexia's angry that she's being betrothed. I don't know what your reasons are for assuming such a government. However ...
Everything is completely different to what you think."
As a person born into an influential family, Alicia clearly disagrees with Adam's remarks. He felt that the government was not that bad. The woman also felt that many people who spoke were not based on facts. But obviously, his family and parents have never done anything as bad as people say!
"..."
Adam did not reply, but was silent. The young man understood that one's view of the truth was different. Mubgjin because of their environment, parental influence, and many other things. So, Adam did not argue at all.
"Why are you just quiet, Mr Owl?"
"It's nothing."
Adam shook his head. The young man looked at the clock and then got up from his seat.
"Then, I'll quit."
"En? You don't intend to rest first, Mr Owl? Really wanna get out?"
"Sorry." Adam shook his head. "I've asked Amy to book the plane ticket that left the earliest."
"That's ..."
"Thank you for your hospitality, Miss Phoenix."
Looking towards Adam's back that was getting smaller and smaller in the distance, Alicia felt that something was wrong. However ...
The woman doesn't know what's wrong.
***
Three days later.
At night, in an elite housing town B.
A figure with a black suit and a red mask appeared from behind the tree's shadow. He stared at a mansion in front of him, arguably one of the most luxurious houses in this estate.
Looking at the three-story building, he muttered softly.
"Truly an unfavorable agreement."
After saying that, the figure again disappeared in the shadows.
Meanwhile, inside the house appeared the figure of a middle-aged man with blonde hair who almost went bald. He was pacing around in the study room while calling someone.
"I told you, we still have to do that, right?"
"..."
"I don't care! If you fail, I will choose someone else to do it! I don't need useless people around me!"
"..."
"Curtain! Just do it, okay?! Yes, yes, yes ... Just do it any way!"
"..."
The middle-aged man is Darwin, the current Deputy Mayor. Finished hanging up the phone, he immediately snorted with a dissatisfied expression.
"Based on useless slaves. What's the point of paying them if they can't do something that easy!"
Bruk!
The sound of falling objects was heard from outside the room. Hearing that, Darwin was completely unsuspecting and instead shouted.
"Why are you so noisy! Don't you realize I'm busy?!
The waiter! Call the waiter to come! I'm really tired and need treatment!"
Darwin chuckled with a disgusting face. But after a while, there was absolutely no response.
"Didn't you hear me! I said—"
The kreeek!
The sound of an open door rang out in the ear. Darwin was about to curse, but his expression suddenly changed when he saw the figure that opened the door.
The red masked man entered the room and gave a warm greeting, bowing politely like a noble as he said.
"Good night, Mr. Darwin. Can we talk to you for a second???"
