Chapter 190: Recruitnt (1)
Zhou Jing did not answer imdiately. Instead, he asked, “Are you a wandering hunter from White Plains Town?”
“You know ?” Weber was puzzled.
Zhou Jing smiled, “I’ve never seen you before, but when we first t, I noticed that you were staring at my face in surprise, as if you had seen soone who looked like . Now that you’ve called Jason’s na, it’s not difficult to tell that you were once a hunter from White Plains Town. If I’m not wrong, you and Jason were once partners in hunting together.”
Weber was certain of his guess, but he still asked, “And you are?”
Zhou Jing stopped smiling and deliberately lowered his voice, pretending to be cautious.
“Jason is my biological brother, but I don’t have a surna now. My na is only Jace.”
They were indeed related by blood. Weber knew that he had guessed correctly!
Weber imdiately believed him. He didn’t know Jason that well, so he imdiately accepted this excuse that suited his common sense.
After all, it was hard evidence that the two of them looked similar… The previous guess that Jason had co back from the dead was indeed too ridiculous.
—they definitely couldn’t be the sa person. Putting aside the fact that the dead couldn’t be revived, just the difference in their conversation performance was huge. Jace smiled, unlike Jason, and his brain was much better than Jason’s.
He was not surprised that Jace hid his surna. As the assassination of the lord had fernted to this day, too many people knew the na “Jason·Wood.” This surna was eye-catching, and hiding his identity could avoid a lot of trouble.
At this mont, Weber suddenly fell silent. Although Jace was Jason’s brother, he was still a stranger to him. Even after recognizing his identity, he didn’t know what to say.
After a few seconds of hesitation, Weber thought of a question and asked in a doubtful tone.
“You’re Jason’s brother and a third enhancent hunter. Why didn’t Jason follow you, and instead go to White Plains Town to be a hunter? If he was with you, maybe Jason wouldn’t have to die…”
Zhou Jing waved his hand and said seriously, “I know what you’re thinking, but my family has never relied on others. Even if we’re biological brothers, we have to separate when we reach a certain age and live our own lives. This is Wood’s family motto!”
Surprise appeared on Weber’s muscular face.
Ever since the tribal era, the concept of survival as a group had been ingrained in the blood of the humans in this world. He found it difficult to understand this family tradition.
However, as an experienced hunter, Weber suddenly rembered that there were many mutated beasts in the natural world that had similar habits. They would let the mbers of their race hunt alone and train before returning to their racial tribe.
Often, mbers of the tribe would die during this process, but the mutated beasts that survived would be stronger. It was a cold and cruel habit of survival.
“The Wood Family… seems like a cruel tribe.”?Weber thought.
He did not doubt the truth of Zhou Jing’s words, nor did he doubt the strong tenacity brought about by this family discipline. He just did not understand why they would uphold such a tradition.
“But it’s your brother who has died. Will you really just sit by… Oh!”
Weber subconsciously started, but he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and his eyes widened in realization.
Yes, the Lord of White Plains Town, Lutt, had been kidnapped and killed. The murderer was suspected to be a Mutant Blood Warrior with three enhancents!
The strength matched, the motive matched… The case was solved!
The murderer must have been Jace—six months after Jason’s death, his brother had personally gone to White Plains Town and taken Lutt’s life for revenge!
Weber was suddenly enlightened. Everything felt in place.
A cruel family tribe; they were cruel to their own people, but they were rciless to their enemies! They usually did not rely on each other, but once a relative died, the Wood family would definitely take revenge!
Weber felt a chill.
Seeing this, Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows and said aningfully, “There are so things that you shouldn’t say even if you’ve guessed it. I believe in your relationship with Jason.”
Weber snapped out of his reverie, his face serious, “I’ll keep your secret.”
He had no intention of exposing him in the first place. He only asked to clear his doubts. Now that he had obtained the answer, he was satisfied and did not have any other thoughts.
Although Weber did not approve of the cri of killing a lord, he was not pedantic. Since the dead would reveal no evidence and no one had discovered it, he would not betray Jason’s family. After all, he had been Jason’s comrade for a while.
Furthermore, Lutt was already regarded as an enemy by the hunters of White Plains Town. If not for his status as a lord, he would have long been killed. Jace had only done what they wanted to do but did not… When he heard about Lutt’s death, he was so happy that he had three bowls of at.
Zhou Jing nodded. He trusted in the integrity of hunters.
If he was ruthless, he might have thought of silencing him at this mont. However, Zhou Jing did not have such thoughts at all. After all, they were forr comrades. Moreover, it was not a big deal for him to be recognized.
Do you know what an Eternal Apostle is? What’s there to be afraid of!
After chatting for a while and telling Weber the “truth,” Zhou Jing walked out of the tent and exhaled softly.
This acquaintance would not reveal anything, but the side effect was that Weber really thought that there was soone in the “Wood Family” in this world that had hidden their identity…
“Small problem, a small problem.”
Zhou Jing muttered to himself before putting this matter down. He opened the interface and took a look.
At this mont, there were several notifications on the interface.
