“Well ... look, who's back. Our radar suddenly picked up a powerful seal magic that was destroyed. It turns out that a legend did it.” A woman in a vertically striped black suit and miniskirt said it coldly. With a faint smile on her red lips, she crossed her arms in front of her chest. Standing at a slight angle as if showing her power in front of Ethan. “It turns out you're still alive, Legendary Demon Hunter, Ethan Hunter.”

Ethan narrowed his eyes when he saw this woman. A woman who was too beautiful with very fair skin and long silver hair. At a glance, her tall body was a little full.  That body had perfect muscles. Ethan could tell that this woman was strong enough to fight. The fact that she was a General in the Hunters organization was proof that this woman was not a person who can be underestimated.

The woman stuck out her hand. “Cornellia Bridgit, General of the Hunters. It's nice to meet a legend like you, Mr. Ethan. I hope you came back not to disturb my position.”

Ethan smiled a little. He shook the hand. It turned out that this woman's hand grip was stronger than he expected. “I won't do that. There's no going back to being a Hunter. I'll just take my weapons and leave.”

Cornellia placed her hands on her waist. She looked a little disappointed with Ethan's words. “Too bad, Hunters must lose a legend once again. Even though the legend was just rediscovered.”

Ethan just raised his eyebrows without any objection. Then Cornellia gave a hand gesture to invite Ethan and Piers to follow her. They passed through a long hallway, until finally they were in front of a large steel door. Cornellia placed her hand on the scan screen. Instantly, the door opened. The three of them entered there.

The room was an armory. From sharp weapons to firearms. Corneliia walked in a very graceful way to a corner. Then she pointed to two weapons in the glass cubicle. “These are your weapons, Mr. Ethan. We deliberately kept them to conduct research in order to find out the secret of your power. However, it looks like this dagger and revolver are just ordinary silver weapons.”

Ethan's eyes were fixed on the two objects regardless of what the beautiful woman said. On a night when Ethan was heartbroken, he was instead reunited with a bloody past. Unconsciously, Ethan approached the two weapons, then opened the glass lid that confined them.

He quickly picked up the dagger. Ethan seemed to be stunned by the gleam of the silver blade. With his thumb, he touched the blade, accidentally cutting his finger.

Blood immediately dripped from his thumb. Ethan narrowed his eyes slightly. “Still as sharp as ever...”

Piers was about to give Ethan a handkerchief, but Cornellia stopped him with a hand gesture.

Cornellia immediately held Ethan's hand and looked at the wound. “The blood of a legend. According to the news I've heard, you are a very strong Demon Hunter. To the point where it's hard for your enemies to hurt you. Your blood is rarely seen on the battlefield.”

Without hesitation, Cornellia immediately put the thumb into her mouth. With her eyes closed, she sucked on the thumb to make the blood stop. Ethan was a little surprised by what Cornellia did. He felt a little pain in his finger.

Piers over there gulped his saliva. In his eyes, Cornellia Bridgit was too beautiful even when compared to a supermodel. However, what she was doing now made him a little envious of Ethan. Just having physical contact with Cornellia was already a stroke of luck, but what Ethan was experiencing now was more than that.

Cornellia opened her eyes slowly. She looked directly into Ethan's eyes deeply. Ethan was still transfixed. The man was dumbstruck by Cornellia's sudden gesture. Cornellia let go of Ethan's hand. Her blood-red lips began to rise, giving a charming, mysterious smile.

Cornellia raised one eyebrow. “Why you look at me like that? Do you like it?”

Ethan immediately shifted his gaze to her hand. He paid close attention to the still wet thumb. The blood had indeed stopped, and he saw two cuts there.

Cornellia let out her breath. “Take back everything you own, then you can leave. As long as you keep the existence of the Hunters organization a secret, then we won't bother you.”

The woman turned around while walking away. Unseen by Ethan and Piers, she let out a smile and held her own lips with her finger. Her face became slightly flushed with pleasure.

Piers immediately approached Ethan and whispered. “Mr. Ethan... I think Miss Cornellia is interested in you. I've never seen Miss Cornellia do that to anyone.”

Ethan immediately glanced sharply at Piers. Piers immediately swallowed his saliva due to the piercing fear. He immediately remembered that he had seen Ethan's moody face earlier. Maybe something happened at the Blake family residence that made him become angry like this. Piers felt that his remark was quite insolent.

Ethan picked up the revolver in front of him and opened the barrel. It was empty. He brought his mouth to Piers' ear. “Shut up and watch.”

Piers frowned. He might have made the former General angry. Wasn't this a serious situation? Ethan could have given Piers serious trouble.

Ethan turned to Cornellia. Even from behind her body was so beautiful. Ethan took a breath. “Miss Cornellia.”

Cornellia stopped. She immediately turned around while tilting her head. “Miss? Don't you see where you are? Call me General.”

Ethan walked over. He looked at Cornellia from toe to head. Very beautiful, that was all Ethan could conclude. No human had this kind of beauty. Even Thalia couldn't compare to her. No wonder Piers got out of character and said that to Ethan. Piers must have been tempted by her.

Ethan let out a small smile. He juggled the knife with one hand. “100 people died in this city because of your leadership. During my time as General, I only lost a few people and achieved many victories. With achievements that cannot be compared to mine, do you call yourself a General?”

Cornellia paused, but then she turned her waist while smiling sweetly. She looked directly into Ethan's eyes without fear or hesitation. “So, are you saying I should step down and you take your place as General again? Did you change your mind? Even your manner of speaking has become informal like this.”

Cornellia then approached and held Ethan's shoulder. Then she stroked that shoulder all the way down to the chest. The woman walked around Ethan. “With the growing abilities of the creatures of darkness and their increasing strength, are you sure you can lead all the Hunters with no casualties?”

Ethan glanced over and looked directly into Cornellia's sharp, seductive eyes. “Maybe ... at least, in my leadership, I will not let a creature of darkness into the Hunters organization.”

Cornellia's expression suddenly changed. Ethan immediately raised his dagger, then quickly thrust the knife towards Cornellia's chest, but Cornellia managed to hold back with her hand, so that her palm was pierced by the dagger.

Cornellia immediately pushed Erhan's body until it bounced and hit a gun cabinet until it fell. Cornellia screamed loudly while glaring at her hand.

The shocked Piers was confused by all this. He repeatedly turned to the two people, confused about which one to help first. They were suddenly trying to kill each other for no apparent reason.

Ethan immediately stood up and shouted. “Piers! Get a silver bullet and throw it at me! This woman is a vampire!”

A wound that only an object made of silver could produce on a vampire's body.Piers glared in disbelief. “Oh, God...”Ethan opened the barrel of his gun. “Piers! Bullets!”Piers shook his head. “I didn't bring any. I'll look for it right away!”When Piers was about to move to get the bullets, Cornellia chuckled. The woman immediately closed the door and locked it. “There will be no bullets in this room. The ammunition is in another one.”Suddenly Ethan and Piers dropped their plans. Ethan put his revolver back in his pocket. Piers slowly retreated to the edged weapons rack. He picked up a dagger there. Although short-range combat was not his forte, there was no other weapon he could use at the moment.Cornellia turned around. From behind her glasses, Ethan could see her eyeballs turning a red color. Her pupils turned cat-like. The atmosphere

Leaving Piers who was still glued there. Piers' hands became sweaty. He hissed while closing her eyes. “With just one magic he can defeat Miss Cornellia. I've never seen anything like that. Even my abilities are nothing compared to his.”Ethan approached the receptionist. A man with neatly combed hair and a big smile. The receptionist narrowed her eyes slightly. “Welcome, Mr. Ethan Hunter. Welcome back to the Gold Hotel.”Ethan didn't immediately answer the man's greeting. Instead, he took a black card from his wallet and gave it to the man. The receptionist accepted it immediately.The receptionist smiled back. “Ar you gonna use your usual room, Mr. Eth

    “Are you out of your mind?” Edward looked at Ethan while wincing at the pain. He immediately looked back. “Niko, Fernand, why are you guys so quiet?”Edward's two friends immediately stood in front of Ethan while glaring at Ethan. They acted like people with power. Unfortunately, such intimidating behavior had no effect on a former General like Ethan. So, Ethan looked at them casually while giving a faint smile.Niko held the collar of Ethan's shirt. “From your smile, you must have done it on purpose. You're looking to die, aren't you?”Ethan pointed at Edward. “He's the one who scared me. That make the thing fell.”Niko pushed Ethan's body until Ethan backed up and his back hit the wall. “Don't fuck around, damn it. Don't you know the Chulkin family?”Ethan didn't answer her. He glanced at Edward's foot. His big toe was very red and swollen. It had probably been fractured. For a person who had never experienced the battlefield, such a thing was already very painful. However, should E

In her opinion, Ethan was really too bold to say such a thing.Then a woman friend of the girl took her hand and pulled the girl. “Forgive her, just forget what she said.”The two turned around. However, Ethan heard a sentence come out of the woman in a whisper. “Don't interfere in his problem! He's already too crazy to deal with the Chulkin family. You’ll be damned!”Ethan just smiled a little. It turned out that after 3 years Ethan left the Hunter world, there were many things he didn't know. Including the influence of the Chulkin family in this town. Even everyone here seemed to be afraid of their existence.That incident must have made Edward very vengeful towards Ethan. It was likely that the man would take that revenge on Ethan sooner or later. If he could do it, Ethan wanted to see how much resistance he could put

    “Going for some fresh air, Mr. Ethan?” the man standing behind the reception display case smiled mysteriously at Ethan.Ethan glanced at the person. A young man in his twenties. He stood tall in white clothes and a black suit. A different person to the one Ethan met when he previously entered the Gold Hotel.With slow steps Ethan approached the person. His eyes narrowed slightly, wary of this person. “Do you know my name?”The receptionist nodded. “Mr. Jim told me about you.”Jim was the receptionist who had greeted Ethan earlier. He must have also told this young man that Ethan was a former Demon Hunter. Thus making him friendly to Ethan.Ethan glanced at the name tag on his chest. “Jason... Jim taught you well, Jason.”Jason gave a small smile. He bowed his head in respect. “Thank you. Maybe you haven't remembered, but I'm still alive thanks to Mr. Ethan. I almost fell prey to a Wendigo a few years ago, but Mr. Ethan came and killed the Wendigo.”Ethan gave a small nod. He really di

    “Arrest him, he's got a weapon. Don't let him get away!” the security guard pushed Ethan's body into a policeman.Ethan glanced at the security guard. A smile of satisfaction was painted on his face. Followers of the creatures of darkness did have a very annoying nature. As devil worshipers, they would be possessed by demons and have various abilities.To the Demon Hunter, they were still human beings. They are not allowed to be killed. However, they also always act as allies of the demons. Making it difficult for the Demon Hunters. Their suddenly blackened corneas were strong evidence that they had demons inside them.The policeman grabbed Ethan's shoulder. “Move! Get in the car. I'll confiscate all the weapons you're carrying.”Ethan walked into the police car, while the security guard smilingly waved his hand. Briefly, Ethan knew the security guard's plan. He wanted Ethan to be taken to the holding cell, so that the other dark beings there could gang up on Ethan. In short, the secu

    Rio frowned. “I don't understand. What were you thinking, Lieutenant? You're letting the man who injured Edward Chulkin get away with it.”The lieutenant glanced sharply at Rio. With a firm step he approached the deputy with anger. “Listen, damn it! If you still love your life, stay away from people with black cards. Even if they carry a sharp weapon or a gun.”Rio tilted his head. He realized that he wasn't a completely honest cop. However, letting a civilian carry a weapon was not something that could be justified. “So, Lieutenant is saying that cops like us shouldn't bother people like that even if they hurt others?”The lieutenant shouted loudly. “Yes! If they kill someone, you should never arrest them! Do you hear me?”Rio frowned. He really didn't understand the Lieutenant's train of thought. Karl immediately dragged him back. “Rio, never mind. Don't make the situation more precarious.”When Rio and Karl had moved away, Lieutenant Finn returned to his room. He lit a cigarette wi

    “Stealing? What do you mean steal? Are you going to accuse me of that again?” the thin man dodged.Ethan narrowed his eyes, paying attention to the details of the gestures made by this person. This thin man did not look Ethan directly in the eye. Tending to look towards the right.The eyes are a difficult organ to lie to. After all, Ethan had seen this man's evil actions from the beginning.Ethan asked back angrily. “You're still evasive?”The man immediately showed an angry face. “Do you have any proof, huh? You've been accusing me of nonsense ever since. You must really like making people look bad. Just stop what you're doing. You can get other people in trouble.”Ethan smirked slightly. Right now Ethan was witnessing how someone could strongly resist an accusation that was clearly very visible. Even if the evil of this person was only Ethan who realized it.The man then hit Ethan's hand grip. “Let go of me. I'm getting off here!”Ethan didn't budge. The blow felt quite weak to Etha

    “This is crazy, Mr. Ethan! You really want to kill yourself. What's worse, you invited me!” Ben protested loudly while trembling. The shotgun he was holding didn't make him feel safe at all. In fact, he was very violent with it before. “Mr. Ethan, going out at night like this is very dangerous.”The night wind blew cold, piercing the bones. Ben patted his chest several times, which felt tight despite the layers of clothing he was wearing. In fact, the problem wasn't the cold, but the fear that was too great at this time of night.Gulping, he turned to Ethan. He tilted his head and his eyebrows knitted together like threads. The man apparently calmly opened the barrel of his revolver and changed the bullet to a red bullet. Then he closed the barrel and brought it slightly closer to his ear.Closing his eyes, Ethan slowly twirled the barrel of his revolver. Listening to every sound that came out of it. Then he calmly placed it into the holster. “Preparations complete.”Ben gulped. He ap

    “Father, wake up.” A young girl's voice sounded faintly like a gentle stream of air.Slowly, the bearded man opened his eyes. His vision was still blurry as he had been unconscious for quite some time. He took a deep breath, then held his slightly dizzy head. “Freya... where am I?”Then Ethan's voice suddenly sounded. “You're finally awake, Ben.”Instantly the bearded man opened his eyes wide and woke up from his sleep. Immediately he glared at Ethan and set up a fighting stance. Breath rushed out of his mouth and nose. “Monster! Leave my son alone!”Ethan was standing in the doorway, his figure firmly established there. His gaze was cold and calm, as if the ice bars were ready to pierce the bones. Ben, the bearded man held his breath, immediately cautious of Ethan's figure. He could still clearly remember how terrifying Ethan had been when he had previously fought with him.Ben immediately stood in front of Freya, blocking Ethan's figure. “I won't let a demon like you touch my son!”

    “UAARGH!” The bearded man's shout echoed, breaking the silence. His eyes bulged wildly, his breath caught as if his heart was about to be ripped out of his chest. Panicking, he jumped backwards. However, his head slammed into a glass display case. The sparkle of shattered glass filled the air as her body staggered. The world seemed to shake in her eyes, spinning uncontrollably.Ethan took a step forward. Slowly, but each step felt like a rumble. The air vibrated as if his presence ruled the room. Those fiery red eyes stared straight, piercing, making the bearded man's blood freeze.His hand reached into his jacket pocket, searching for the remaining shotgun shells. His fingers trembled violently, like leaves shaken by a storm. A bullet fell out of his grasp, sliding to the floor because of his hands that he couldn't control in fear. “Damn it!”The bearded man cursed repeatedly, his face growing pale, almost as if there was no blood left in his body. With trembling hands, he cocked the

Her face was as pale as paper, her lips quivering silently, as if she had just seen death in human form.Ethan slowly raised both his hands, his palms open upwards in a sign of peace. His face remained flat, cold as a stone statue. There was not a hint of fear in his eyes, as if the shotgun blast was just a trivial matter.Stepping away from the table, Ethan tilted his head, his gaze fixed on the man. In a low, calm voice he tried not to provoke the man with the beard. “Calm down, sir. I think there's a misunderstanding here.”The man with the beard glared, his eyes burning like embers ready to burn. His breathing sounded heavy, filling the room with tension that hung in the air. Ethan's calmness seemed to be the spark that magnified the flames of

    Ethan stood at the edge of the gravel road, his boots touching the ground damp with morning dew. Fresh air slipped into his lungs, carrying the distinctive scent of wet leaves and a hint of clay. She took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. The cold air mixed with her hot exhale, forming a light mist in the morning.“How long have I been without air like this?” he murmured softly, his eyes gazing at the dense forest on the other side.A wooden signpost stood askew on the side of the road, the writing slightly faded, but still legible: Dogu. Ethan touched the board with a finger, the wood rough and mossy. The village felt unfamiliar to him, but his steps remained steady following the small road that led to it.Along the way, the sound of children's laughter echoed. Some ran around in bare feet, sending dust into the air. A small boy held a battered kite, its string tied tightly in his hand. Ethan glanced at them, the corners of his lips lifting slightly-a rare smile.However, the peace

    Ethan stared at his now no longer perfect silver knife, his gaze turning from shocked to cold. “No way...”Trevor, with a small smile playing at the corners of his lips, slowly raised his hands. “Perhaps you'd like to put the weapon away before my neck is completely ripped out?”Ethan narrowed his eyes, but finally lowered the knife and took a step back. Trevor calmly turned around, placing his gun on the dusty display case. His movements seemed confident, but there was a mystery lurking behind his smile.With one swift movement, Ethan slipped his dagger back into the holster, but his eyes remained fixed on Trevor. A shadow of suspicion crossed his mind. “How can you make something stronger than your grandfather's work?”Trevor tilted his head, as if savoring the moment. “That's why he retired. I've perfected his technique. He knew it was time to leave the shop to me.”He paused for a moment, staring intently at Ethan. “So, what are you looking for, legendary Mr. Demon Hunter?”Ethan

    The old wooden door creaked softly as Ethan pushed it with his fingertips. Cold air mixed with damp smells greeted him immediately, like the scent of a long-locked basement. His footsteps were barely audible as he entered the building, as if the dusty old floor didn't want to betray his presence. Sunlight only slipped through a few small cracks in the windows.Ethan scanned the room. Nearly collapsed wooden shelves stood along the walls, filled with dusty bottles and almost illegible labels. The traces of time were clearly imprinted on every corner of the store, from the shabby carpet to the cracked ceiling. He stepped up to the glass display case in the center of the room, looked at the soberly displayed goods, then pressed the small bell on the counter. The sharp clinking sound echoed in the silence, as if disturbing the sleeping souls in the place.A man appeared, wearing a neat black suit with a crimson bow tie. His appearance contrasted with the condition of the building, but the

Make sure they know their limits.”Hugo straightened his body, then quickly left the room, his shoes clicking softly on the shiny floor. The door closed softly, leaving Ethan back standing in front of the large window. He gazed at the city of Silverhaven, his eyes radiating a mixture of calmness and firmness.Hugo exited the room with quick, decisive steps. The door slammed shut, leaving Ethan sitting back in his cushioned chair. He leaned back, hands interlocked in his lap. A thin, meaningful smile graced his face. His eyes narrowed, as if he was weighing something. In almost a whisper, he said to himself, “You shouldn't play with fire, Thalia.”On the other side of the building, the Blake family boardroom was filled with enthusiastic energy. Jack sat at the end of the long table, his fingers tapping the wooden surface with an almost impatient rhythm. His face radiated confidence, with a smile raised in contentment. I

    Hugo stepped forward, turned the doorknob gracefully, then pushed it slowly. He smiled respectfully at Ethan. “Please, Mr. Ethan. This is your room.”The room behind the door exuded undeniable elegance. The crystal chandelier reflected warm light onto the walls decorated with classical ornaments. A large mahogany table stood firmly in the center, with leather swivel chairs that looked inviting to sit on. A relaxed but dignified atmosphere filled the air.Ethan stepped inside without hesitation. His leather shoes made a soft sound as they touched the shiny marble floor. He walked slowly towards the swivel chair behind the desk, then sat down in a relaxed yet authoritative manner. The backrest of the chair accepted his back comfortably, while both hands rested on the arms of the chair. He turned the chair slightly, looking at Hugo who stood with a proud smile.Hugo looked relieved, like a heavy burden had finally been lifted. The small smile on his face signaled undisguised happiness. H
