"I'm sorry, although we really want to help you, we think you should call the police in your situation," the old man politely rejected the request.
"But it's useless to call the police … Why don't you send a Beast Hunter to protect me tonight? I can pay you immediately," the young woman said.
"We really can't find any Beast Hunters here, they are all on a big mission," the old man said.
The young woman's face turned even uglier. She didn't think they wouldn't accept her request when she came all the way to the Clearsky Hunter Agency. It was as if they didn't care about the money in front of them.
"You … How can you leave me in the lurch like this. If … If anything happens to my family, I won't forgive you even if I become a ghost! "the young woman stood up and yelled in pain.
After saying this, she hurriedly got up and ran out of the Clearsky Hunter Agency in a daze.
Mo Fan felt that the young woman was quite dispirited and pitiful. He couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you help her?"
It didn't matter if the woman's husband was a demon in disguise, or if the husband was suspected of murder. Judging from the woman's description, she was in danger. Since the other party was willing to pay, why didn't the old man accept the request?
"Young man, you can't just look at the surface," the old man knocked on his pipe.
"What is it? Is there more to it than meets the eye?" Mo Fan rubbed his chin and began to think like a detective.
"Look at this request," the old man took out an agreement from under the counter and casually tossed it to Mo Fan.
Mo Fan felt it was strange, and opened the agreement.
The agreement was very short. It was a request for overnight protection from the client, because the client suspected that there was a huge danger nearby that would endanger his child and himself.
The date he requested for overnight protection was tonight, and the agreement seemed to be signed today, around seven in the morning.
"What's going on? Is something similar to the woman's situation in this person's family?" Mo Fan asked in surprise.
The old man smiled, then used his yellowed finger to knock on the address written on the agreement.
Mo Fan took a look and immediately felt it was unbelievable!!
"It's actually the same address as that woman … What's going on?!" Mofan was dumbfounded.
The address was in a private garden in the south of the university town. It was a place where the rich lived. Mofan and his roommates had passed by it when they went out for a stroll. It wasn't too far from Pearl Institute, so Mofan had an impression of the address.
Originally, when the woman had left in despair, Mofan had planned to go and take a look with the intention of rescuing the young woman. After all, he would most likely pass by that place on his way back to school. What Mofan did not expect was that there was another situation inside.
"This commission was actually signed by that woman's husband. The situation he described is roughly similar to that woman's," the old man said with a smile.
When Mo Fan heard this, he felt goosebumps all over his body!
"So you're saying … her husband came earlier, and said that the woman went to commit murder in the middle of the night?" Mofan really did not expect something like this to happen.
"Yeah, it's been a bunch of boring commissions lately. Today's matter is quite strange. Young man, since you want to join our Clearsky Hunter Agency, I'll leave this commission to you," the old man looked at Mofan with a cunning smile.
"It's good that there's work to do as soon as I arrive, but I also feel that this matter is quite troublesome. I don't even know which one of them is telling the truth," Mofan was completely confused.
"That's why we only accepted one commission. Didn't you read it clearly? This commission states that if something happens to the client, they won't hold us responsible. They only hope that we can protect their child. As for which one of them has a problem, it's naturally a good thing if we can solve it. However, the most important thing is to protect their child, "the old man said.
"I understand," Mofan nodded, then looked around the empty store and said, "Where are my teammates? They can't just leave this matter to me alone, right? "
"Of course not. Hey, your teammates are right beside you," the old man said.
Mo Fan glanced around, but he still didn't see any of his teammates.
When Mofan returned his doubtful gaze to the old man, the old man signaled him to lower his head. The person on the other end signaled Mo Fan to lower his gaze slightly. At this moment, Mo Fan finally saw a cute little head with two ponytails, as well as a very childish little face.
"This little girl??" Mofan was dumbfounded.
"That's right. Most of the commissions in our Clearsky Hunter Agency are completed by a single person, or a two-person team. Ling Ling's previous partner died while investigating a matter for the Magic Court. So we had to recruit another one, "the old man said.
"You want me to bring a little girl to hunt demons? What kind of joke is this!" Mofan shouted.
"I'm the one bringing a rookie like you to hunt demons. Thank you." Ling Ling looked at Mofan with disdain, then took out something that looked like a police badge from her pocket and placed it in front of Mofan.
Mofan looked at the badge in confusion. When he saw the pattern clearly, he almost fell off the high chair.
"A … a Hunter Master!" Mo Fan felt like he was about to go blind.
This little loli that he could pick up with two fingers was actually a Hunter Master!!
The Hunter Badge issued by the Hunter's Union could not be faked. It was also tied to the person's identity. The Hunter Badge that the little girl took out was indeed real. The problem was, how could Mofan believe that a ten-year-old little girl was a Hunter Master who had hunted countless demons?
As a university freshman, having the title of an Intermediate Hunter was something worth bragging about!
"Grandpa, I don't want this guy. He looks stupid and will ruin things easily," Ling Ling said to the old man.
"Let's take him. Our Clearsky Hunter Agency has always had a hard time recruiting people. It's not easy to have someone who isn't afraid of death. I think this kid's strength is not weak. If we slowly train him, he can still do great things," the old man advised kindly.
The little loli Ling Ling snorted coldly. She closed the thick book in her hands and walked into the room in the shop with a little bit of emotion.
Mofan looked at the little loli's exquisite back. The ten thousand mythical beasts in his heart had not finished galloping, and he did not know what to say.
To be honest, in the morning, Mo Fan had fantasized about what kind of outstanding Beast Hunting Team he would welcome, so that he could grow even more. However, all of a sudden, his fantasies were shattered, and he turned into a delicate little figure.
