Chapter 651: Chapter 492: The Abnormality of the Town (Two in One)_2
And Eva’s parents, too, had died one after another in the monster’s attacks.
Now, the members of Wildfire Team finally understood why every household in the village kept their doors shut tight, not willing to open them even when they heard someone knocking outside.
However, the information they got was limited to that, since Eva was just a little girl and knew only so much, even the specific appearance of the monster was not very clear to her.
"The situation here is indeed not as simple as it seemed, it looks like we’ll be pretty busy with our trial this time," said Weiss with a somber face.
The other team members also looked serious, having not expected that what was supposed to be a simple search for Sizar would turn into such a troublesome affair.
Ciro, glancing at Eva who was eating cookies beside them, and then at his companions, whispered:
"Why don’t we just forget about this monster thing and go straight to find Sizar..."
Anna, sitting beside him, smacked him on the back of his head, angrily exclaiming:
"Ciro! What kind of rotten idea is that! How could you even say something like that! Have you forgotten what our identity is now? Have you forgotten the promise we made to the Star Lord!?"
Ciro, having been hit by her, didn’t dare to fight back and just held his head, saying innocently:
"Big sis, big sis, stop hitting me, I was just saying it, I didn’t really mean to leave them alone."
Weiss stepped in to mediate:
"Alright, alright, I believe Ciro was just talking. Anna, don’t get angry."
After saying that, he looked back at Ciro and continued:
"Ciro, but there are still some things I need to remind you of, and don’t blame me for nagging."
"The status we have today is all thanks to the organization’s support. Wildfire Tavern is about to spread worldwide. Do you think you could have achieved this on your own?"
"And let’s set aside ten thousand steps, we’ve finally got the chance to become Transcendents, if the Star Lord learns that we ignored the Alien Species, do you think everything you have now will still exist?"
"Therefore, I don’t want to hear those words from you again. I hope you understand what the Star Lord wants us to do. I can tolerate your antics in small matters, but when it comes to organizational principles, I absolutely won’t allow you to be reckless!"
These words made Ciro’s face look even worse, as he wore a tearful expression and said:
"Weiss, I really didn’t mean it that way, I was just talking casually, don’t you know me? Even in the past, I would never stand by and watch! I only said that to provide a Plan B for everyone..."
"There is no Plan B!"
"Alright, alright, I get it, there’s no Plan B."
"..."
While eating, Eva curiously watched the adults arguing beside her, not understanding what was happening.
Finally, when their conversation ended, Anna walked back over, touched her head affectionately, and asked:
"Eva, do you still have any family at home?"
The little girl shook her head, her expression downcast.
"No more..."
Seeing her on the verge of tears again, Anna quickly took out a piece of chocolate and handed it to her, saying:
"Eva, it must be tough living here all by yourself. How about this? After uncle and auntie defeat that monster, would you like to come with me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ciro suddenly widened his eyes.
"Anna, you’re not thinking of taking her with us, are you? Where are you planning to keep her? Are you going to raise a child on your own? And why are we all uncles while only you’re the auntie!?"
"Shut up!"
Anna turned her head and glared at him.
"As for Eva’s living arrangements, I will naturally find a solution. Once we return, I will seek the Star Lord and ask the organization to take her in. If all else fails, I will just buy a house myself and arrange for a nanny to take care of her!"
"In any case, I cannot let her stay here alone. Such a small child, all by herself in this kind of environment, simply could not survive."
Ciro spread his hands helplessly.
"All right, as long as you’re happy."
With bright, clear eyes, Eva blinked and asked Anna:
"Sister, did you really say just now that you would help us kill that monster? Is that true?"
"Yes, when Sister says she’ll do something, she means it. I will definitely avenge Eva’s parents."
"Thank you, Sister! As long as Sister can avenge my parents, Eva will do anything Sister says!"
"..."
And so, the Wildfire Team’s mission this time unexpectedly included an additional task, which was to find the monster near Hachitu Tuur Village and eliminate it.
Guided by Eva, they arrived at another house in the village to gather intelligence. The person they were looking for was a survivor from the last monster hunt, Nenetiyeer.
"Eva? How come it’s you? How did you get out? Damn, who are you people? Let Eva go!"
From behind the door, a sallow-skinned man poked his head out. Upon seeing the members of the Wildfire Team, his expression immediately changed.
"Don’t be nervous, we’re Bounty Hunters. We’re here to help you kill that monster. Please open the door and let us in. We have some questions we’d like to ask you."
As Weiss spoke, he braced the door with his hand to prevent the other party from closing it.
He thought his words would at least make the man before him relax his guard a little, considering they had come to help them slay the monster, and wouldn’t still be hiding from them.
However, no sooner had he mentioned they were Bounty Hunters than Nenetiyeer’s facial expression instantly changed from tense to angry.
"Damn you! Not the Bounty Hunters again! We don’t need your help! Haven’t you caused us enough trouble already!"
The team exchanged glances with each other, this guy was not following the script.
"Sir, please tell us what exactly is going on here. There must be some misunderstanding."
"Damn it! Let go of little Eva! The monster in our village was brought here by you Bounty Hunters, and now you speak of a misunderstanding!"
Ciro immediately rolled up his sleeves.
"Fuck! Don’t push your luck, we came to help you kill the monster with good intentions, and this is the attitude you give us!?"
Weiss held him back with a hand and asked:
"Sir, who are the Bounty Hunters you say brought the monster here?"
Nenetiyeer, clearly startled by Ciro’s demeanor, wanted to close the door and go back inside, but Weiss was preventing the door from being closed with his body, and he simply did not have the strength to close it. He could only say:
"Sizar! That bastard’s name is Sizar! I used to treat him to meals often, and this is how he repays us! I’ll never forget him!"
The members of the Wildfire Team exchanged glances upon hearing this, not expecting that the sudden appearance of the monster was related to Sizar.
With this, whether it was their duty to combat Alien Species or the trial at hand, they all had to get involved in this affair.
Weiss put more force into his push and the door swung open, leaving Nenetiyeer behind it unable to resist.
They disregarded the Dagger in his hand and walked straight into the house.
"Sorry, I know this may seem abrupt, but for the safety of the village and so that we can complete our mission, I had no choice but to do this."
Nenetiyeer’s face was a mix of anger and fear. Although he held a weapon in his hand, he dared not strike at these fully armed Professional Hunters.
Weiss sighed and said to the man before him:
"Sir, I know you might have some misunderstanding about us, but whether you believe it or not, we’re really here to eliminate the monster. If that asshole Sizar really has something to do with this, we definitely won’t let him off either."
