"OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"THIS IS SOMETHING OUTRAGEOUS!!! HOW DARE HE COVET THE ARMOR OF THE KNIGHTS OF THE ZODIAC??!!!!"
"HE DESERVES TO BE ARRESTED!!!!!!"
…
The Europeans screamed in anger and hatred when they saw this scene, but the feeling of humiliation and fear was also felt.
Liu Yang was robbing the Knights of the Zodiac, the most powerful Hunters in Europe as if they were just children.
This was something very shocking and frightening.
"Shut up. I still haven't let you talk." The old man intervened again during the screaming.
"..." The pressure made everyone shut up again.
"Listen to this. This is the recorded conversation between Mr. Callum Green and young Liu Yang."
The video volume was turned up so that everyone could hear.
The two were sitting at a table facing each other.
"Sir. Liu Yang, if you answer my questions sincerely. I will give you the golden armor."
"Why would you do this willingly?"
"I saw your power in dealing with the other zodiac knights. In the face of such power, there's no way I can resist, so it's better to surrender the armor and stay alive than to have a useless one between the two of us and die. My pride and dignity are worthless in the face of such power. If you were on the same level as me, I'd still have a chance of surviving, but that's not the case. So I can only make that choice."
"I see… What kind of question do you want to ask?"
"I want to know why you're after the zodiac armor. Why are you doing this?"
"I'm doing this because I want power"
"Power? Could Mr. Liu Yang explain further? Your power has surpassed any other Hunter in the world, why want more power? According to the information I know about you, you are not someone who has a greed for power"
"I need the power to defeat the Ten Titans"
"What's the point of you doing this? It's not because you want to save the world, right?"
"No. I'm doing this because I want an answer."
"An answer… I hope you find the answer you're looking for." After the conversation, Callum Green handed over the zodiac armor without hesitation. He thought Liu Yang's final answer was sincere enough.
"Defeat the ten Titans?!!!!!!"
"An answer?!!!"
"What is this Liu Yang looking for??!!!!"
"Isn't he just lying??"
"He only vaguely answered questions for Mr. Green to hand over the armor."
…
Nobody understood Liu Yang's answers because they were all vague. Only he knew why.
However, not everyone asked, some accepted Callum Green's judgment because they know his abilities.
In the end, everyone looked at the old man. No one kept yelling so as not to piss him off.
"I will meet this young man named Liu Yang and have a long talk with him"
"!!!!!" The words were too shocking to bear.
(Would the head of the World Hunters Association see Liu Yang in person? Will he deals with that young man?) That was the most obvious thought.
The old man was not only the head of the association, but he was also the bearer of the thirteenth armor of the knights of the zodiac, the serpent.
Thus, it was inevitable that Liu Yang would go to him.
During the meeting, Liu Yang broke into the main branch of the Hunters Association of Europe and stole the two unowned zodiac armors.
Afterward, he killed the other knights, leaving only the old man.
…
During his travels in Europe, Liu Yang entered all kinds of portals to other worlds to complete quests and gain attributes.
Thus, he received over two hundred stat points and some random rewards.
After a week, he completed all the missions and Zones in Europe.
While walking back to China, he was stopped while in Russia.
The person who appeared before him was the old man.
"..." Sensing the oppression from the other side, Liu Yang was not intimidated.
The power he gained after completing several hundred missions made him much more powerful.
"Young Liu Yang, you have the requirements to talk to me." Sensing that the other side was not intimidated or affected by his pressure, the old man returned to normal.
"What does the big boss of the World Hunters Association want to talk to me about?" Liu Yang knew who the old man before him was.
Or rather, anyone in the world knew who the old man named John Hunter was.
His ultimate goal was to find the old man, but he figured he'd see him in Russia.
"I only have a few questions to ask, no big deal. So, like Mr. Green, if you answer me honestly, I'll give it to you." The old man held up a small square of metal with the design of a sporting snake on all sides.
This was the serpent's armor box.
"What questions do I need to answer?" Liu Yang narrowed his eyes.
It was unusual for a person like the old man to show up to sort things out. Normally, an envoy from the World Hunters Association would do this.
"I want to know what Mr. Liu Yang will do after you get the answer you seek." The old man stared into his eyes to see what the answer would be.
If there was some kind of malice or something hidden, he would act.
"I will live my life normally. But those who dare to act against me, I will kill without mercy." Liu Yang didn't have many goals in his life.
The only one was being able to live peacefully with Katharin and Xinyue, but everything changed after he killed an awakened being.
After so long, he had another goal. Find out more about the system and the world. If this objective is completed, he will return to his only objective.
"I see… Sir Liu Yang, I have a request to make. If you can agree, I'll give you this box"
"If it's within my power, I'll try."
"My request is an easy thing to do. I'm old now and I can't run the World Hunters Association for long. A lot of arrogant and undisciplined idiots want to take my place, but if these people become the head of the association, a lot of bad things can happen."
"So you want me to become the next head of the association?"
"No. That's not something you can do because you don't have what is necessary to be a leader. You're like a lone wolf, so that can't happen. What I want is for you to become the Protector"
"Protector? What is it?" Liu Yang has never heard of this title before.
"The Protector is a position slightly above the head of the association. Only the boss can appoint someone as the protector. So this person needs to be very powerful to be able to deal with the boss if he causes a lot of trouble. Currently, the association doesn't have a Protector because there is no one stronger than me"
"I see… So you want me to be some kind of balance in the World Hunter Association"
"Yes. But it is not necessary to do anything."
