"What do you mean? I have a friend that went missing …" asked Mo Fan, glancing at Shorty.
"It's obvious that it's your first time at the Ancient Capital. Do you know the rules of the Hunters here? "Shorty's eyes flickered with a hint of disdain, yet at the same time, a hint of superiority as he had accumulated over the years.
"I really don't know," asked Mo Fan humbly.
"The Hunters here are still alive. Who hasn't abandoned their teammates before … the most common saying among them is: Don't look back, come back and collect the body during the day!" said Shorty.
"Shouldn't we go and save our teammates if they are in trouble?" asked Liu Ru with a confused look.
Although she was not a Hunter, she knew that any Hunter with a conscience had to abide by the rules of the team. They were not allowed to betray or abandon their teammates!
"I'm sorry, that doesn't apply here," said Shorty with a smile.
"Then what do you mean by the Corpse Recovery Alliance?" asked Liu Ru.
"Those who are stranded outside will surely die if they stay overnight. Sending someone to save them might sound nice, but it's actually to collect their bodies, to prevent their remains from turning into undead. Therefore, don't even think about saving them. It's already impressive enough if you can find one or two of your friends' remains and guarantee that they will come back alive," said Shorty with a smile as he fondled his beard.
"How is that possible?"
"I'm not trying to scare you, it's always been like this in the past, let alone now …" Shorty squinted and glanced at Liu Ru at the same level as he spoke. He happened to glance at Liu Ru's chest, which was not huge, but attractive and firm!
"If you're willing to talk to us, does that mean you have a plan?" said Mo Fan, looking at Shorty.
"Hehe … young man, you're pretty smart," said Shorty with a smile. His curling mustache made him look quite proud.
"Of course, of course," said Mo Fan with a smile.
"I know there are a lot of smart people out there, and not many of them will believe my words. You two can take a look around here. If anyone is willing to go with you, feel free to do so. Don't say I didn't warn you, even if you're willing to pay them, they won't necessarily go with you," said Shorty with a hoarse laugh as he placed his hands behind him and left.
Mo Fan and Liu Ru did not believe him at first. Shorty? He looked like a charlatan who cheated money and women.
The two walked around the village. Regardless of whether it was showing off their strength with magic, showing off their Advanced Hunter Plaque, or even paying to hire people, everyone's expression changed when they heard that they were going to Sunny Goat Village. No matter how much money they were offered, they would not go.
Later on, Mofan found out that a Dark Abyss had appeared near Sunny Goat Village. Although he did not know what a Dark Abyss was, it was obvious that all Hunters were afraid of it.
Left with no choice, the two of them could only look for Shorty. Shorty had expected the two of them to return. He was sitting with his legs crossed, smoking a cigar, and squinting his eyes at the round Liu Ru.
"How is it?" Shorty asked on purpose.
"Just as you said." Mofan smiled bitterly.
"Let's talk about the price then," said Shorty straightforwardly.
"My friend is more important. You can open it. I don't care about this small amount of money." Mofan didn't talk nonsense.
If someone was willing to lead the way and act as a guide, they would definitely charge a fee. Mofan was mentally prepared for this.
Shorty raised a finger.
"One million, deal!" Mofan agreed right away.
"Do you think I'm a beggar? Ten million!" Shorty immediately sat up.
Mofan was startled. He glanced at Liu Ru and said calmly, "Let's go on our own."
Liu Ru was left speechless. Didn't the guy just say that his friend was more important, and he didn't care about this small amount of money?
"If we go on our own, not only will we not know the way, we might even step into an undead tomb. It's expensive, but I don't think anyone in the Hunter Union is willing to go there apart from him … I still have some money here. I was planning to give it to you anyway, but I can't spend it on myself." Liu Ru grabbed Mofan's arm and handed him a bank card.
"Oh Liu Ru, that's not how you should spend your money … mm, where did you get the money from?" asked Mofan.
"Those little Blood Tribe members gave it to me. They are quite rich," said Liu Ru softly.
"Oh, if it's ill-gotten wealth, I'll accept it."
"…"
Liu Ru could not help but giggle when she saw Mofan accepting the card with a straight face.
She initially thought Mofan would not accept the card as a man, but it turned out that the guy was quite greedy for money, a bad guy.
Ten million, Mofan could not afford it.
He had no money at all. Little Flame Belle was the most expensive baby in the world. He had used up all his savings.
That being said, the returns were shocking too. Without Little Flame Belle, Mofan would not have been able to defeat Dongfang Lie, who possessed the fourth-tier Fiery Fist, with a single punch!
Liu Ru's bank card had solved his urgent problem. Mofan did not show any mercy to her.
Shorty glanced at Mofan disdainfully after receiving the card.
Shorty initially thought Mofan was quite capable, to have such an obedient beauty following him around. It turned out that he was just a freeloader.
Speaking of which, the beauty was quite rich, to be able to afford ten million without even blinking her eyes. Experienced Hunters in the Ancient Capital might not be able to earn that much even after working for a few years …
"Give me a twenty percent discount!" Mofan bargained.
"No way!" Shorty was firm.
Only he and his brothers were capable of doing this. There were definitely people who were interested in going to Sunny Goat Village. Shorty would not give them a discount!
"Does it include protection?" asked Mofan.
"No, my brothers and I are quite strong, but you must be able to protect yourself. We can guarantee that you won't be surrounded by the undead at night, but we can't guarantee that you won't be attacked by the wandering undead, "said Shorty.
"We won't have any problem protecting ourselves," said Liu Ru.
"I have another condition. You're not the only one I'm taking, so there will be other people in the team," said Shorty.
"Damn, you're even asking for conditions now, f * * k," cursed Mofan.
Black-Hearted, he had never seen such a black-hearted man, the most expensive guide in the world!
"Brother, we have a Hunter Master as our guarantor, and we're willing to put our lives on the line for you. The price is only if we're allowed to take other missions. You can rent the entire car too, twenty million," said Shorty.
"Go away, get your customers," Mofan did not want to waste his time arguing with Shorty.
Mofan had already verified Shorty's identity before he contacted him for the second time. He was an Advanced Hunter, without any dark history.
The Hunter Master that was acting as the guarantor for Shorty's team was not suspicious, either.
Once the mission was established, the Hunter would have to sign his name. It was unlikely that someone would try to scam him in the Intermediate and Advanced Hunter Halls. The most important thing for a Hunter to accept a mission was their reputation. Otherwise, they would be destroying their own livelihood. Mofan was well aware of that.
