Dean came to the finance department on the first floor of the headquarters hall. He received the gold coins for the seven cold crystals that he had handed over.
These seven gold coins were equivalent to the savings of an ordinary family in the residential district for more than ten years! Even Jura and her husband, who had a good position, only had a monthly salary of five or six silver coins, which was already considered as a high-salary class. Although a gold coin was equivalent to ten thousand yuan in the old era, but in this era, the salary of the basic class was extremely low. Just like in the early days of the old era, the monthly salary of the basic class was very low. Just like in the early days of the old era, one or two hundred yuan per month was considered good. A household with ten thousand yuan could be called a small landlord.
And this was only a small part of Dean's scavenging income!
Dean held the heavy and smooth gold coins. His heart could not help but sigh, but he was not excited. After all, this was exchanged with his life. Moreover, if he wasn't a hunter, he would only be able to get seven silver coins!
That was two months salary of the basic class of workers.
Therefore, if a scavenger wanted to get rich quickly, he had to rely on luck to pick up particularly precious items.
"I don't know how much the other things I brought back are worth." Dean secretly thought. Although he had seven gold coins in his hand, he could be regarded as rich in the residential area, but alchemy was a money-burning profession. This amount of money could not satisfy his appetite.
After putting the gold coins into his pocket, Dean went to the hall to sit and wait.
Not long after, there was a sudden commotion outside the headquarters hall. Dean looked up and saw a tall woman in scarlet armor pushing open the door of the hall and striding in. Her face was incomparably cold and full of chilliness.
Dean glanced at the silver eagle medal on her shoulder. This was the hunter medal. Three years ago, he had seen it on Fino and Rudolph who led him to the Hunter's Castle. However, the eagle medal of the two men was bronze, but this woman's was silver.
The staff in the hall and several consortium scavengers who were about to go on a mission also noticed the medal on the woman's shoulder. After all, her armor was too strange. The scarlet color was like flowing blood, and the style was different from the scavenger soft armor of Dean and others. It was easy to attract attention.
"It's the Hunter!"
The people in the hall suddenly quieted down and carefully looked at the woman.
"Ask the person in charge here to come out." The scarlet-armored woman stood in the middle of the hall and said in a cold voice.
The two girls in front of the reception desk looked nervous. One of them hurriedly answered and trotted into the room next door. Soon, Peter and the manager of the room came out together. When they saw the badge on the scarlet armored woman's shoulder, their complexion changed. They quickly bowed and respectfully said: "Greetings Miss Hunter, I didn't know you would come …"
"Cut the crap!" The scarlet armored woman raised her hand and interrupted them: "Call the scavengers who are going to the 8th area, now!" She said coldly.
Peter and the skinny old man were surprised. They looked at each other and saw the meaning in each other's eyes. Peter respectfully said: "Sir Hunter, they have returned to their respective residences. It will take some time to gather them. Please wait a moment."
The scarlet-armored woman looked at him coldly and said, "Don't dawdle. If I don't see him before sunset, hmph, just you wait!"
Peter's forehead overflowed with cold sweat: "Yes, yes, absolutely don't dare to delay."
The scarlet armored woman slightly looked up and glanced around. She came to the rest area where Dean was and sat down on the sofa. Her eyes saw Dean who was drinking milk tea. Her eyebrows raised.
Peter followed her figure and noticed Dean. He couldn't help but secretly shouted: "Boy, haven't you seen the Hunter? What are you doing? Quickly salute and get out of here!"
Dean saw a trace of anxiety in Peter's eyes. He immediately understood that Peter wanted to give him some time. Listening to the woman's previous words, it was obviously related to the hunter who died in the 8th area. He couldn't help but frown. He didn't expect trouble to come to his door so soon. However, he wasn't worried about anything. He nodded to the scarlet woman and got up to leave.
"Wait." The scarlet woman suddenly looked up at him: "Are you a new scavenger?"
Dean paused and looked back at her: "Yes."
"So …" The scarlet woman narrowed her eyes: "Have you been to the 8th area?"
Dean looked at her eyes that were getting colder and colder. It seemed that as long as he nodded, she would immediately attack. This kind of killing intent made him slightly frown. There was a bit of disgust in his heart: "Yes."
The killing intent in the scarlet woman's eyes suddenly soared. The original brown-gray eyes became a bit dark red. She coldly said: "Little devil, why didn't you die? How could a lowly trash like you be able to survive? Why? Why didn't you die?! "
As she spoke, the skin on her arm became a little red, as if it was congested.
Peter saw the scene and hurriedly said: "Mr Hunter, Dean is our seed target. He is specially cultivated by the headquarters. He has the potential to become a hunter in the future. Please don't be offended by him. If he has offended you, I will make sure that he will apologize to you …"
"Get out!" The scarlet woman roared.
Peter was stunned by the roar.
The scarlet woman slowly stood up and stared at Dean condescendingly. Her eyes were full of resentment, anger, and sadness.
Dean thought that she had investigated the evidence left by him. He didn't expect that she was just angry at him. Seeing the sadness and anger in her strange eyes, he couldn't help but ask: "I heard that a hunter died in the 8th area. Who is he to you?"
"Shut up!" The scarlet woman angrily raised her hand to slap him.
Dean's face slightly changed. He quickly leaned back to escape the slap. At the same time, he quickly retreated a few steps to open the distance. When he looked at her again, there was a bit of anger and killing intent in his heart. If this slap was on an ordinary scavenger like Mason, he would at least be seriously injured. He was very clear about the strength of a hunter. At the same time, he also believed that the strength of this woman must be stronger than him.
Peter was also shocked when he saw the other side attack. When he saw Dean dodge the slap, he was shocked and speechless.
The scarlet woman was also startled. She looked up at Dean. The grief and anger in her eyes suddenly turned cold: "You are a new scavenger. Even if you have been blessed twenty or even thirty times, you may not have such a reaction speed. Who the hell are you?!"
Dean's eyes became cold. Although he knew that the woman was sad and angry, but from the merciless slap, it was obvious that she didn't care about the severity. Perhaps in the eyes of the other side, even if she accidentally killed a scavenger, she would only get a few words of criticism. Even consortium would take the initiative to shelter her and help her destroy the evidence and confession to avoid the judgment of the magistrate.
Because the punishment for killing was too light, she didn't care about life.
"Today, I will remember this slap." Dean stared at her and said: "If others give me a benefit, I will return it tenfold. If they give me a pain, I will retaliate a hundredfold!"
