The entrance of the two hunters into the tavern created an atmosphere of tension that tore away the cheerful air of before.
Whispers and mutterings spread sporadically around the place, and the wary glances of the regulars followed the pair of newcomers until they sat down at a table at the back of the tavern.
The presence of hunters on this island could only mean that they were there as bounty hunters, which basically meant working as assassins for hire.
In the Athina Kingdom, Hunters, who were those who hunted monsters, were a profession, but Bounty Hunters, those who made a living from hunting wanted criminals, were more like a derivative of Hunters. They were similar businesses that bore the same name, so it was normal that many Hunters also hunted criminals for bounties.
