"I can't believe I'm reading the newspaper, but this is the only way to find a substantial reward quickly."the hunter said in his mind,There, he found a news article that caught his attention . The article spoke about the abduction of girls from a small village on a nearby island, and everyone believed it was due to monsters as that area was full of them . But the hunter had a defrent opinion,His experience allowed him to distinguish between the actions of monsters and the actions of human monsters. "
He went straight to the port to look for a ship that could take him to the island. However, as expected, it's difficult to find a voyage to such a frightening island. Whenever he asked someone, the answer was always the same: "No." One of them tried to take him to another island, ""I can take you to another island where you will find beautiful women instead of monsters."He said with his mouth full of food.
After getting tired, he bought a wine bottle. He asked all the captains but couldn't find what he wanted. He took the first sip from the bottle.
"Are you a monster hunter ?"A short, stout man asked the hunter. He was sharpening the hunter's sword.
"Yeah you can say that" the hunter knew that all the monster hunters went to that island.
"I can take you with me if you want,"
"How much?"
"Nothing I need companions for the journey."
"Okay,then can we go now"
"Yeah of course, I will go after an hour "the man said with whit a smile.
Many questions occupied the hunter's mind, but he refrained from asking them because he knew it wasn't the right time. He was happy to have found a journey to his destination, especially since it was free, and the man didn't pose any threat to him.
The men took the hunter to the boat, where he found his wife and infant in her arms. He made sure that the men only needed a companion for his journey. It seemed like a good deal for the hunter.
"I am Harry and this my wife Megan and this our baby"
"I am (Jon),nice to meet you,i hope not to cause any inconvenience during the journey."
"No don't worry, we are happy to take you with us "the men said with a smile.
The hunter noticed that there was a sadness behind the smile, clearly visible on the wife's face.
""The island is close; our journey won't take much longer." Harry said.Jon realized that Harry was the kind of person who hides their sadness by speaking a lot.
"You can rest ,I will take care of journey " Jon said.
"No don't worry "
"It's visible on your face that you are sad,you can Tell me your story if you want"
"All of us have a bad stories,and you don't need to know another sad story " Harry always used to end his words with a smile.
"Yeah ,but I don't mind to hear yours" Jon was always the kind of person who didn't like to speak a lot, and then his feelings were different.
"My daughter was with the girls who have been taken." That time he didn't smile.
"By the monsters?"Jon asked
"They say that ,but I don't think so,the monsters have never come to the village,they live in the forest."
"Yeah the monsters don't take only the girls ,the young Girls "It's as if John was expecting this response from Harry.
"I don't think you're a monster hunter."
"No,I deal with the human monsters "
"What means?do you kill people "He said, fear evident on his face.
"Don't worry I only kill bad people "
"You are killer "
"You can say that if it makes you feel better"
"You didn't tell me about that "
"I said don't worry, I am going to your island to kill the people who have taken your daughter "
"I haven't spent much time with my daughter.Her mother passed away when she was born. I abandoned her, leaving her with my mother, and I never inquired about her before or made her feel she had a father like other children. I deeply regret that."Harry had started to cry like a child.
"The regret won't help you or help her,just try to make your relationship better and closer,"jhon looked at the Sea " you have to stop crying, and take me to island faster you can "
"Yeah yeah I will, just safe her " He appeared like a child when promised something to make him stop crying."I will be your guide on the island."
"Yeah that will be helpful "jhon said "now can you let me get sleep for a moment"
"Yeah don't worry, I will wake you up when we arrive."
"I have to get rest before I start killing these Slave traders "
"Slave traders?"He said as if he didn't believe it.
"They are often the ones who kidnap women from remote islands."
"I heard they have a lot of money, manpower, and significant power, making it difficult to stand against them."Harry said, his hands trembling.
"But their only weakness is that they chose the wrong enemy, which is me."
Blacksmith Island is a remote island, and traveling to it is very expensive. Only merchants go there to buy weapons or naval soldiers. Entering it without paying a lot of gold is difficult, so John had no choice but to look for rewards to be able to pay for the trip.
"Damn it, I should have taken the ticket price from that old man. He fooled me, what a fool I am," John said to himself.
