"Are you going to start a war with the Scott consortium?"
Glenn couldn't help but ask Dean after Kroen went out. She suddenly realized the purpose of Dean's recruitment. She didn't expect that she would be involved in a more vicious struggle after leaving a consortium.
Dudian smiled but didn't speak.
He didn't deny it. It was equivalent to acquiescence.
Glenn stared at him: "The Mellon consortium has a very wide network of relationships. You haven't fully recovered them yet. Aren't you too anxious to deal with the Scott consortium?"
Dudian smiled: "I have a sense of propriety. You don't have to feel the pressure. You will be my private hunters in the future. You won't belong to the consortium. So you don't need to follow the rules and regulations of the consortium. Of course, your remuneration will be three times that of the Mellon consortium. At the same time, I will incorporate you into my personal knight team. You will be an aristocratic knight."
"Although it's only an aristocratic knight but it is a relatively decent identity. If you can pass the assessment of the Knight's Hall then you will be able to transfer to an official knight status. I will help you get rid of your hunter registration."
Glenn was startled as she looked at the youth next to her. Glenn couldn't help but ask: "Help us get rid of the hunter registration? Really? "
Although their registration was written as civilians but there was a special symbol behind it. This special symbol represented the hidden registration. In other words, it was the registration of hunters.
The taxes paid by hunters were much higher than that of civilians. Moreover, once they committed a crime they would be severely punished. Most importantly, the registration of hunters didn't allow them to get pregnant and have children!
These policies were like shackles that clamped down on the throat of the hunters. This was the reason why the hunter profession had continued for so many years since the Vatican era. But it was difficult to form a scale. Without the right to get pregnant, it was impossible to form a direct family and family system. They could only fight alone. If they were injured, they could rely on their relationship to apply for a position as an instructor or a senior member of the consortium. Otherwise, they could only die outside the giant wall.
Glenn's eyes were slightly red. She suddenly got up and bowed to Dudian: "Thank you!" There were no words of awe but it was full of sincerity.
"Thank you, Master Dean!" The young man stood up and bowed gratefully.
Dean accepted both of them: "In the future, you can call me the same as them. I'm in a high position now. I don't know how many people want me dead. As my personal knights, your lives will be threatened at any time. Are you willing?"
"Yes!" Glenn said without hesitation.
"Me too," the young man said quickly.
Dean showed a satisfied smile: "Sit down."
The two of them sat down.
Mason, Zach and Sham were puzzled as they saw Glenn and Glenn's excited appearance. In the minds of scavengers, hunters were high and mighty. They couldn't wait to become hunters one day. They didn't expect these two famous senior hunters to be excited because of the removal of their hunter status. It was hard to understand.
Dean turned to look at the three: "What are your plans for the future?"
Mason smiled: "As long as you don't want me to be a scavenger, then I'll follow you. Is being a hunter not good? If that's the case, then I'll be your knight!"
Dean smiled: "You will die at any time if you want to be my knight."
"If I die, I'll certainly block the knife for you. That's worth it." Mason grinned: "During the trial, my life was pulled back by you several times. Without you, I would have died."
Dean's eyes slightly moved. There was a bit of warmth in his heart. He didn't expect that Mason would still remember it in his heart.
"Me too." Zach also called out.
Sham was a bit nervous as he saw both of them open their mouths. He said to Dean: "I also want to, but I don't know … My legs …"
Dean smiled: "There is no need to be a knight. I'm short of a chef. If you don't mind then you can be my chef. Last time someone tried to poison me and almost succeeded. I'll let you be my chef so that I can eat in peace."
Hearing this, Mason and the other two were shocked. Glenn and the youth squinted their eyes.
"Poison you? Mellon consortium? So vicious! "Macon was angry.
Zach couldn't help but look at the teacup in his hand. He subconsciously put it back on the table.
"Sham, are you willing?" Dean asked.
Sham was startled: "I'm willing. My family also runs a pub. But I'm not good at cooking so I hope you don't mind."
"You can learn from me. I'm very picky." Dean smiled: "I'll invite a chef from a big hotel to teach you. Practice well."
Sham scratched his head: "I know."
Dean looked at the wall clock and said to Kroen: "Call Gabriel and Artemis to come down."
Kroen went upstairs. After a while, he brought Gabriel and Artemis downstairs.
"Introduce yourselves." Dean said.
Gabriel and Artemis glanced at the crowd. Artemis was a little shy, and there was a trace of timidity in her eyes. Gabriel seemed to know his sister's timidity. He took the lead and loudly introduced himself.
After the introduction, he gave his younger sister Artemis an encouraging look.
Artemis followed her brother's style and introduced herself.
"They are orphans that I brought back from the war-torn areas outside the golden wall." Dean looked at the youth next to Glenn: "Dennis, I will trouble you to teach Gabriel combat in the future. I have a guard who is also a senior hunter. His name is Sergei. He will be outside the giant wall for the next few days and it will take some time for him to come back. You should assist him."
Dennis got up: "Yes, young master."
Glenn's mouth curved into a smile: "I have heard about your hunter called Sergei. He had committed a crime and was imprisoned in Thorn Flower Prison. I saw him fighting outside the golden wall. His fighting style is fierce and violent. Dennis's fighting style is more flexible. He likes to use tricks. If this child had learned from Mr. Sergei, then he should be tutoring Dennis. Don't let him go back to his old ways."
"It's okay. I'm still practicing the basics." Dean smiled and said to Gabriel: "Let uncle take you to practice."
Gabriel nodded and stepped forward, "Sir, please teach me."
Dennis was satisfied as he saw that the boy wasn't shy: "Then lead the way."
Gabriel bowed, turned around, and led him upstairs.
Glenn watched them leave. Her eyes fell on Artemis. There was a trace of curiosity in her eyes: "I've never seen such green hair. Where did this child come from?"
"Probably a mixed-blood from different regions." Dean casually said. He saw that Glenn was still looking at Artemis: "Are you interested in teaching her your assassination skills?"
Glenn glanced at him: "Have you had such an idea for a long time?"
Dean laughed.
"I quite like her. I'll teach her then." Glenn stood up and squatted in front of Artemis: "Little girl, I'll teach you some real skills so that you can beat your brother in the future. How about it?"
Artemis looked at Glenn's beautiful face: "I-I don't want to fight with my brother."
Glenn was startled. There was a touch of softness in her eyes. She reached out and touched Glenn's head. She picked up Glenn's arm and looked at Dean: "Can I go anywhere in the castle?"
Dean took a sip of tea: "In addition to my study room."
"Understood." Glenn immediately took Artemis's hand and left.
Artemis followed her step by step. She looked back at Dean from time to time.
Dudian waited for the two to go far, then turned to Mason and the other two: "You won't blame me for picking you up now, right?"
The three were startled, Macon shook his head: "How can that be?"
Zach and Sham chuckled.
Dean saw that although the two were smiling naturally but there was a bit of mixed feelings in their eyes. He continued: "You should know about my situation. I was framed by the Mellon consortium. I had to rely on the shelter of the Ryan family to develop. I was helpless at that time. I didn't know when the Mellon consortium would crush me."
"I didn't pick you up because I didn't want to implicate you. Now that the Mellon consortium has been destroyed, I have the ability to protect myself. I don't have to worry about being inadvertently obliterated."
Mason and the other two were shocked. They felt ashamed and touched.
"Dean, we know your intentions." Macon bowed his head.
Zach and Sham nodded but didn't speak.
Dean was relieved as he saw that the three listened to his words. He didn't want to have any gap between him and his three childhood friends.
…
…
During dinner, Dean received a custom-made thermal armor from a master tailor. The interior of the armor was made of delicate magic spider silk mixed with other precious thermal materials. It was extremely warm. Even in the snowy weather, it would not be invaded by the slightest cold wind.
Dean had dinner that night. He called a carriage and asked Gwyneth to be his coachman.
