Level Three (part 29)
It was nearly evening and the Middletown seed almost empty of people. Most of the chasers left this place for a day and those who had nowhere to go chose to hide early. Only a man was running around in a hope to find a free shelter but he could not find anywhere even after desperately pleading. It was the sa chaser who, after getting kicked by many cottage owners was sitting helplessly, ready to cry at any mont.
He had collected complete information about what was going to happen in the Middletown and he didn't want to see it happening with his own eyes. He was sitting in front of the last cottage which was locked and from the looks it was empty. Thinking that perhaps the owner or the one who rented has not returned, he chose to sit and wait.
He had decided to fall in the feet and beg for shelter from whoever that was going to co here, just for one day. The ominous signs were appearing and he had yet to beg soone unknown. There was almost a zero chance that he would succeed but he had no choice other than to try his luck one last. Qiao on the other hand was unaware of the situation and ca in front of his cottage to open the lock.
It was almost evening and the light of the day was almost dying and at its ends. Soone suddenly fell in his feet and started begging with all their heart.
"Please, rciful owner of this cottage, I beg for a shelter for one day. I promise to provide the rent as soon as I hunt a monster."
Qiao was speechless as he recognised the voice he heard. As he rembered and stepped back.
"You ca following again?" He admonished the chaser. Almost the whole day this chaser was tagging like a bug and whenever he thought that he would not see him again, he appeared out of nowhere.
"Ah, buddy my buddy...you are the only one buddy in this entire world for ." The chaser also recognized Qiao and started buttering desperately.
Qiao held his head. After reaching to this world this was the first ti he was feeling a headache and just because of this chaser.
"Go sowhere else and don't bother ." He waved his hand. He could no more tolerate him.
"Buddy, wherever I have gone and searched, there was a notice board telling that today was a destruction night and plight would fell on one of the trader and all his shops in the Middletown so I cannot dare to stay outside in the town." he explained.
This picked his interest, "Wait, did you say that you read a notice board?" Qiao asked with surprise. If so then he could think to let this chaser use this cottage as a shelter. He needed soone who could read the language of this world.
"Indeed buddy, I know how to read notice boards or any book." The chaser stood up and patted his chest. This was the only thing he could proudly claim as his quality. Out of thousands of chasers only one was probably literate so it was sothing to be proud of.
"What kind of plight is going to fall?" Qiao asked since he was living in Middletown hub he should be aware of any expected disturbance or unexpected plights.
"Buddy, it is too dangerous to stay out and co in sight of the plight. I would suggest to get inside the cottage then I will be able to better explain what I heard from others in the Middletown today." He sheepishly asked.
"Oh, then get in. But never forget that if you trouble or try to steal sothing then I would not kick you out but kill you right on the spot." Qiao glared him seriously.
"Buddy I have no such intentions." the chaser blinked his eyes innocently to make him believe his innocence. Qiao simply ignored that and entered the cottage.
"So, tell about this plight?" Qiao sat on the wooden plank and asked.
"Buddy, the famous Zura Traders have offended a high-level hunter by giving him only one pearl which was part of a three yet they took the full price in return from him. The hunter believed that they were trying to scam him and now he has sent a sign of destruction to the Zura Traders. He sent red-blooded soil which is considered as a sign of the death of the offender." He spoke in one breath.
"Why would they do it intentionally? What was that pearl by the way, which was actually split in three parts?"
This didn't make any sense in his mind. If the trader was aware of the power of the hunter, he would never have scamd him. From the na Zura, he rembered the sharp hunter nad Zura whom he t during a hunt and later he had snatched one of the pearls he got after hunt. Qiao has resolved to take revenge for this snatching but to know that they were already caught by a stronger hunter, he wanted to know the circumstances.
"You don't know about the rumoured water dragon? The young master of this traders group hunted it few days ago and sold to the level high hunter on a fair price but it turned out that the water dragon broke its treasure into three pieces before death. Now the single piece of pearl is useless without other two parts." The chaser humped after completely explaining situation. He didn't care about those greedy traders but pity who will be affected by this plight.
Qiao heard this and stood up with worry. This was bad no it was worst. If this was true then both his team mbers were in trouble sooner or later. They were traveling to reach ho towns what if the hunter sohow found about them? It would be more disasstrous.
