Chapter 15: Wright's Rapture (2)

Thinking of this, Wright was ecstatic, and did not care at all about what happened just now when Mo Yu tried to stab him in the butt with a pocket knife.

　　"Introduce yourself again."

　　Wright suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, put away his hunter's license, and said with a straight face.

　　"I'm Wright Bulwark, a professional bounty hunter, currently hunting for Ian Achille, the man outside whose neck you broke."

　　"Oh."

　　Mo Yu nodded.

　　Wright looked at Mo Yu, as if waiting for Mo Yu to follow up.

　　However Mo Yu was silent after answering.

　　The two looked at each other while Monica, who was shrunken in the corner of the bed, looked confused.

　　One second, two seconds, three seconds...

　　The room became especially quiet.

　　"?"

　　Slowly, a question mark slowly emerged from Wright's head, his voice almost squeezed out from his teeth, "Aren't you... going to say something?"

　　"Well."

　　Mo Yu mused, then raised his index finger and calmly said, "I have a question I want to ask you."

　　"Yes, but before asking, are you forgetting something? Like introducing yourself first?"

　　Wright stared straight at Mo Yu.

　　The information he had gathered before coming here had included the names of Mo Yu and Hawke.

　　But Wright thought it was a necessary step to introduce themselves to each other on this kind of occasion.

　　Because he wanted to make a deal with Mo Yu.

　　"My question is..."

　　Mo Yu ignored Wright's reminder and threw out the question directly, "Since you have already confirmed the death of Ian Achille, why do you need to make the situation more complicated?"

　　"..."

　　Wright silently looked at Mo Yu, and after a moment, he sighed and said, "You are such an unpleasant person. It's a bit complicated to explain this problem, but... well, I want to make a deal with you."

　　There were a few levels of hunters.

　　From low to high, they were rookie hunters, professional hunters, one star hunters, two star hunters, and three star hunters.

　　Only when you got a license from the Hunter Association could you officially become a professional hunter.

　　And after becoming a professional hunter, you could raise the star level through "merit".

　　In the Hunter Association, star level represented the status, power, and honor of a person.

　　So raising one's star level was one of the lifelong pursuits of most professional hunters.

　　Wright was one of them.

　　As a professional bounty hunter, a way to improve merit was, naturally, to chase criminals.

　　And currently, Wright was aiming to become a one-star hunter, which was his motive for proposing a deal to Mo Yu.

　　"Oh?"

　　Mo Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, and while being surprised by Wright's words, he asked smoothly, "What do you want to trade with me?"

　　"I need the credit for apprehending Ian Achille, for which I am willing to pay you 5 million Jenny, and of course, the full amount of Ian Achille's bounty will also be yours, how about that?"

　　Wright frankly stated his terms.

　　In order to obtain the merit for capturing Ian, he had been tracking him for almost half a month. In addition, now was a critical moment for him to advance to one-star. He really didn't want to give it up like this.

　　So he could only shamelessly ask for a "trade" to get the "merit" for killing Ian from Mo Yu.

　　As for Mo Yu, when he had heard the contents of the deal proposed by Wright, Mo Yu looked at Wright in a strange way.

　　He was willing to pay 5 million Jenny for the merit of killing Ian, which meant that Wright's need for this merit was very high.

　　But Wright could also take away Ian's corpse by virtue of his strength, and then claim that Ian was killed by himself, so that he could pocket the merit without spending a cent.

　　If his style was ruthless, he could even kill both Mo Yu and Monica, all so that this matter would become a secret that no one knew about.

　　But Wright didn't do that.

　　This guy-

　　He was a 'good guy'.

　　Mo Yu was silent for a few seconds and suddenly asked, "Wright, you're an enhancer, right?"

　　"Yes, why?"

　　Wright admitted it dryly.

　　The condition for promotion from one-star to two-star was to personally train a one-star professional hunter after all.

　　He already viewed Mo Yu as the key to his future goal of becoming a Two-Star Hunter, so he naturally wouldn't hide anything from him.

　　If not for his fear of Mo Yu's resentment, he really wanted to directly propose the idea of accepting Mo Yu as his apprentice.

　　"It's nothing."

　　Mo Yu shook his head and calmly said, "Back to the deal, I have no objection to the idea of obtaining Ian Achille's 20 million Jenny bounty, as for the matter of merit, I have different requirements."

　　"..."

　　Wright's eyes flickered slightly.

　　Him not mentioning the amount of Ian's bounty earlier was a deliberate move to make it easier for Mo Yu to agree to the deal of 5 million Jenny for the merit.

　　But he didn't expect that Mo Yu would know Ian's specific bounty amount ...

　　"Tell me about it."

　　Wright looked at Mo Yu.

　　Mo Yu raised three fingers and slowly said, "I have three demands, first, 5 million is too little, double it. Second, be my companion for a period of ten days, and third, you owe me a favor."

　　In one breath, Mo Yu made three requests, without blushing or panting.

　　Of course, he did not expect to get Wright to agree to these three demands just by Ian's accompanying merit, what he really wanted was for Wright to become his personal companion.

　　As for the first request of doubling the 5 million Jenny and the third request of owing him a favor, it was just to make it easier for Wright to agree to the second request to be a companion.

　　"These three requests of yours..."

　　Wright had a serious face, but his heart was already shouting in ecstasy.

　　The ten-day period of companionship, ah!

　　It would be so easy then, like falling asleep whilst laying on pillows!

　　He was already imagining a scenario where, during these ten days of training, he would demonstrate his teaching abilities causing Mo Yu to admire him, and then Mo Yu would voluntarily ask to become his disciple.

　　Mo Yu calmly looked at Wright, waiting for a response, while already readying himself to eliminate the other two requirements.

　　However -

　　He steadied himself only to hear Wright solemnly saying: "That's very reasonable, I agree."

　　From hearing the request to agreeing to it, the whole process that Wright had gone through did not carry a single bit of hesitation.

　　"???"

　　Mo Yu froze for a second.

　　This script didn't seem to be developing properly, right?
