Speaking of which, when Knight woke up from holding back his pee in the morning, he immediately felt that his stomach was empty. He went to the storage cabinet in the kitchen and took a look. There was nothing else there other than a few lonely pieces of bread.
Knight scratched his head. He remembered that Silin said he was going out for a stroll last night to buy some food. Why was it still empty?
"Silin —"
Knight roared at the top of his lungs. No response. He ran to Silin's bedroom and study. No one there. He dialed his communicator. No one answered. Left with no choice, Knight used GPS to track Silin's communicator. However, the signal showed that he was in Silin's bedroom. Silin's communicator was placed inside the bedside table.
Knight looked at the time. There were still three hours until their next match.
On the other side, Theresa saw a dark gold color when she opened her eyes. There was even a string of flashing numbers on it. Beside the numbers was a knife-shaped symbol.
The receipt of the Vanguard Hunter Group.
The receipt was given to Silin by Shotton when he left the Sixth Team. The thought that Shotton had instilled into Silin was this: We're Hunters. We can't work, sweat, and sweat without any money, can we? Moreover, people like Aiflon wouldn't care about some 'small money'. Therefore, he couldn't hide the receipt when he could, and couldn't retract his knife when he could.
A Hunter should treat themselves a little better, and be a little more ruthless to their investors.
This time, he had helped Aiflon solve a huge problem, and even saved Theresa's life. He had to ask for a bit more reward no matter what. Silin didn't hold back at all. He directly wrote an eight digit number on the receipt.
No one would be able to detect a fake death unless they used a sophisticated life detector. The reason Cillin shot the needle at Theresa was to fake her death. Only then would he be able to save Theresa, and most importantly, he wouldn't be tied down by his own hands and feet. Moreover, if Theresa died, Aiflon definitely wouldn't pay much.
When Theresa woke up, she didn't say anything about the number on the bill. She just looked at Silin with a complicated expression. Truth be told, when Cillin walked out with a calm and indifferent expression as if he didn't care about anything, Theresa didn't expect Cillin to care about her life at all. Sometimes, a hunter was very similar to an assassin. They were ruthless, cold, and merciless.
Moreover, when Silin said to Tiger Thorn and Brown Thorn, "Why don't I help you?", Theresa felt her entire body turn ice-cold. The moment she lost consciousness after being stabbed by the needles Silin flung at her, Theresa felt despair.
Theresa realized that she had been underestimating this person who was even younger than her. The look in Silin's eyes made Theresa feel as if Silin knew everything, but she wasn't sure. After all, there were only five people who knew the secret, and those five people would never reveal it unless it was the right time.
"How much do you know?"
"This is all I know." Silin pointed at the dazzling bill in front of Theresa, "Remember to transfer it to your account in time. Of course, if you want to thank me more, I won't refuse."
Putting away the bill, Theresa tried to stand up, but she was still a little dizzy. She could only sit back down.
"What on earth happened?" Teresa asked.
Silin did not answer the question directly and said, "You still need some time to recover. I believe you can contact someone to take you back. If that's the case, I won't stay any longer."
"Wait a minute," Theresa called out to Silin who was about to turn around and leave, "Those people are all dead?"
Silin nodded.
Theresa took a deep breath and calmed her emotions, "Since those people are all dead, Mr. Aiflon's side will speed up his actions. Therefore, you need to be prepared in advance."
He knew what Theresa meant when she said to be prepared in advance, so he made a 'understood' gesture before disappearing into the forest in a flash. When Silin returned to the dormitory, Knight was talking to Ci Jincheng and Lung on the communicator to discuss countermeasures.
"Silin! Did you go for a stroll to another planet?! " Knight rushed up and grabbed Silin by the collar and roared. However, his expression softened a little when he saw the bag in Silin's hands.
Silin had gone to the supermarket to buy food on his way back. It looked like this was the right decision.
"Silin, if you still don't come back, I'm going to send people to search for you. We need to discuss our strategy and bet an hour before the match." Lung urged from the other side of the communicator.
That being said, Silin knew that Lung, Ci Jincheng, and Knight were truly concerned about him. Smiling, Silin said, "Bet on 'One Hit Kill' for the next match."
Lung's eyes lit up when he heard this. Their opponents this time were the last tournament's champions, the Visby Brothers. The odds must be shocking.
Knight rubbed his chin, "It's going to be very difficult."
"Alright, look at that grin on your face." On the communicator's display panel, Ci Jincheng's face was full of disdain.
"Oh, right. Silin, do you want to become the champion of the double combat tournament?" Knight looked at Silin.
"I don't want to, but if you want to take it, you can take it."
"Haha, good, you're a brother! I'm relieved to hear that. The reason I'm participating in the double combat tournament is to avenge a friend and teach the Visby Brothers a lesson. I don't want to fight anymore after I beat the Visby Brothers. " His father had already given him a hard time when he participated in this tournament. If he continued to fight, Knight might get beaten up by his father when he got back.
In his father's words, the Thunderstorm Fist was not meant to be played around! It lived on the battlefield, not these childish games that were purely for the sake of attracting students!
The students who were treated as secret weapons of the military academies would not participate in these tournaments. That was because they were busy with missions and could already be considered as warriors. They had no interest in the 'little games' between students, and even if they participated, they would not use their full strength. Exposing their true strength to the public was even more disadvantageous to them.
"Alright." This was for the best. Silin still had to prepare for the aftermath, and ending it earlier would save him some time.
"Sigh, I wonder how much resentment those who went after Shadow X will feel." Lung sighed sadly on the other side.
"Lung, remember to bet again. Maybe … you'll break a new record." Ci Jincheng said.
Since he returned earlier than expected, Silin deleted the messages and traces in his answering machine and took a short nap. Then, he logged onto the Sector Championship's platform with Knight. Knight and the other two did not ask what Silin had been up to during the night. Even if Silin did not say, they had already guessed some of it.
Just as Ci Jincheng had said, the match against the Visby Brothers after that had broken the record of the top sixteen. This match was very short, even shorter than the previous match against Liu Yewu and One Smile Kill.
Instant kill.
The moment the system displayed the start of the match, Silin and Knight immediately moved. Their movements were so fast that the Visby Brothers could only block them without being able to dodge in time. The violent lightning created by Knight's fists had already rendered one of them unable to fight. The other person facing Silin did not feel good either. It was as if he had crashed into a mechanical armor, instantly losing his ability to fight as well.
At the same time the system displayed 'Knight and Shadow X Duo Wins', it also displayed the eye-catching cursor of this match's record breaking.
After a moment of silence, the students in front of their microcomputers were completely fired up. Instant kill, it was actually an instant kill!
But not long after their excitement, a piece of news pressed down on them like an iceberg.
Knight and Shadow X had withdrawn from the double combat tournament.
A lot of people came here for Shadow X, and without Shadow X, they lost half of their interest. Half an hour later, Comos, Feng Haicao, Boer, Faradin, Ryan, Bonn and other teams had withdrawn from the double combat tournament.
This way, there really was nothing to see in the double combat tournament. Their boiling blood had been frozen, and the students were filled with resentment. The entire Sector Championship forum's layout was filled with thick resentment.
Celine and the others didn't pay attention to the students' reactions. After Silin and Knight had announced their withdrawal, Knight received a message from Comos in his mailbox on the Sector Championship platform. As for Silin's mailbox … there were a lot of messages, but Silin basically did not bother to look at them.
"Silin, Comos and the others want to fight us in the final integrated warfare tournament." Knight was much more interested in integrated warfare, because integrated warfare was actual combat.
Only the academies that entered the top ten of the rankings could participate in the following practical combat tournament. However, with Seven Lights' foundation, entering the top ten was not a problem at all.
"Sure, I look forward to it." Silin did not refuse. The integrated warfare tournament was also a great opportunity for him.
