Duan Jia Xu pursed his lips and shook his head. He said to Luo Huian, "You might have misunderstood sothing, Miss Huian. I went to the Hunter Association a few months ago and they told that I will awaken as an F-rank hunter."
"I cannot even dream of awakening as a high-class hunter."
Luo Huian wanted to explain that this matter was more and less related to the Aura of Gloom but as soon as she opened her mouth, she found that she could not speak anything.
She closed her eyes and threw her head back. Seriously? They wanted her to keep this matter a secret.
But at the sa ti, Luo Huian understood why the heavens wanted her to keep this matter a secret. If the humans were to find out that the more Aura of Gloom they collected the more their chances of awakening as a high-class hunter would increase would they not try to find trouble for themselves?
If that happened how many lives would be lost?
However, with this barrier, how was she supposed to explain the matter to Duan Jia Xu?
Luo Huian felt that her life was too difficult. If she had known that she would be punished in this manner, she would have saved that boy’s life no matter what even if she had to break an arm she would have protected that boy’s limbs.
However, it was too late to regret it.
She sighed again and again before saying to Duan Jia Xu, "If you trust , then I can assure you that you will awaken as an A-rank hunter."
"And I also have my sister as my backer. If you give it a chance then I can help you beco an established hunter. Would that not help you and your brother?"
Duan Jia Xu was a bit tempted but he didn’t recklessly agree. He had been taken advantage of by so many people that he was wary of everyone around him, even though Luo Huian said that she would help him. What if she was lying?
He had heard about Luo Huian being buried in debt many tis. What if she was just buttering him up such that she could make him work for her?
Duan Jia Xu couldn’t be blad for thinking like that, ever since his parents died Duan Wen had cursed at him and told him that he was useless and he needed to earn his keep.
There were many tis she suggested to him that serve a few of her clients or go to unauthorized dungeons to hunt for cores and monsters.
Every ti Duan Jia Xu sohow managed to escape but he knew that Duan Wen had not given up. It was just that the board of directors were eyeing her and she never did sothing too ruthless and out of the line.
But now that she was given the green light by the board of directions, Duan Jia Xu lived in fear every day. This was why he would serve the father and daughter pair every day even though they treated him like a servant.
What could he do? Rather than serving won like so lowly pompadour, lowering his head was better.
Duan Jia Xu knew that he could not even trust his own family when it ca to the matter of benefits, so how could he trust Luo Huian, a woman whom he didn’t even know?
"Can you give so ti?" Duan Jia Xu asked politely. He hid all his thoughts and did not let others know what was going on in his head. He simply asked for ti which was not suspicious.
Luo Huian was in a hurry because if this r did not agree and didn’t co with her to awaken his powers, Luo Qingling would drag her back to the penthouse where she would beco a prisoner.
However, she could not force Duan Jia Xu so she nodded her head in understanding.
"Alright, take the ti that you need but I can only give you a day and a half," Luo Huian told him with a stern voice. "If you do not give an answer then I will have no choice but to send you back because then I will have no reason to keep you."
"You do know that the unawakened cannot be taken away without the permission of their guardians right?"
Duan Jia Xu nodded, of course, he did know these things.
When Luo Huian saw that he was aware of everything, she nodded and took her leave.
Kang Jing was dissatisfied with her how she just casually recruited soone in the guild but he was silenced by Luo Huian when she told him that she had the permission of Luo Qingling.
As much as Kang Jing loved and admired Luo Qingling, he could not get over the fact that she liked Luo Huian so much that she was letting her act so lawless.
Why let her recruit soone in their guild?
This won’t do. He needed to talk with Luo Qingling seriously.
If that woman kept doting on Luo Huian like this, their guild would be ruined.
How could Luo Huian’s judgnt be trusted?
Once the two of them left the ward, Duan Jia Xu waited for them to walk far away and turned to look at his brother and said to him, "Jingli, we need to run away from here."
Duan Jingli was stunned upon hearing the words of his brother. He blinked his eyes and then said to his brother, "But brother…sister Huian helped us so much. It is not right for us to leave right?"
Luo Huian saved them and even baked a cake for him and his brother. She was really a good woman, at least she was better than Duan Wen albeit a bit weird. She said one thing but still did what was right even if she complained long and hard.
"You don’t understand," Duan Jia Xu shook his head and sighed at the naivety of his brother. "People are heartless and they would do anything to gain power. Do you think that Miss Huian who does not know us will save our lives for no reason?"
