Chapter 1141: Other Helpers
After a small test, Isaac accepted Su Xiao into the " Extermination Team».
Morel Mccarnasey didn't say anything about it, and oddly enough, Nov, who was always careful, didn't say anything either.
— Chairman, in this case, our team will expand to five people. Don't we have too many people? Su Xiao raised his eyebrows at Nov's words. There were more people than he thought. The five people that Nov was talking about were not the people who were handling this matter, but the people who would have to try to kill the Ant King.
According to the original story, Isaac and the Ant King will have to fight one-on-one, but now there will be five people fighting with him.
There were three other people besides Isaac and Su Xiao? Most surprisingly, the three of them were faster than Su Xiao.
— Don't worry, the more of us there are, the more likely we are to win, " Isaac replied and chuckled. Although Isaac was 110 years old, he was a fun-loving grandfather with a free outlook on the world. He wasn't a perpetually grumpy old man, but on the contrary, he was quite energetic and cheerful.
In terms of individual strength, even the V5 organization was a bit wary of Isaac, and it was also because of this that the Hunter Association had so many privileges.
— Morel Maccarnacie, Nov, first of all take some men and go on a reconnaissance mission near the capital. When the time comes, we will launch an attack on the capital. There will only be five people in my group, and I will be busy with other things right now.
— All right, Chairman.
— Leave it to us. If we don't wait for the signal, we'll determine the time of the attack ourselves.
— All right, " Isaac said, and watched Morel Mccarnasey and Nov leave..
Other members of the Hunter's Association are located not far from the capital.
— Did you come here specifically in search of helpers? Su Xiao asked, as he had a feeling that this meeting with Isaac and his assistants in this place was clearly not accidental.
— That's right, one of the members of the expedition suggested that we take a walk around the area. To my surprise, there are really a lot of 'like-minded people' gathered around the capital, " Isaac said and motioned for Su Xiao to follow him.
Su Xiao hesitated for a moment, but eventually followed him.
Soon after, Bubtni and Amu, who were waiting nearby, followed Su Xiao.
— Are these your assistants? Isaac asked, eyeing Bubtney and Ama with interest.
— You can count the three of us as one group.
— About? Well, that's not a problem, " Isaac said, stroking his beard.
Soon they came to a small town near the Eastern capital of Goruto.
When Su Xiao entered this small town, he suddenly felt as if he had gone back hundreds of years.
The roads in this city were paved with slate, and since it had not been repaired for a long time, the slate became uneven, causing mud holes to form in some places.
Most of the buildings in this city were two-storeyed and mostly made of wood or stone. There were no concrete buildings in this city at all. There were banners of the same color hanging on the doors of shops on the street, making it look more like memorial tombstones.
Sometimes carriages would pass through the streets. As for cars, everything modern was banned in East Goruto, and cars fell under this ban.
Because of this, Eastern Goruto was more like a country that revealed its pristine beauty. When someone came here, they immediately felt as if they had gone back hundreds of years.
— Such a miracle can only be seen in Eastern Goruto, " Isaac said. It was here in the past, about 30 years ago, and after all this time, almost nothing has changed here, except that the buildings have aged a little.
— By the way, I still haven't heard what I can call you, " Isaac said, looking around for a building.
— Byakuya, " Su Xiao replied, admiring the city's scenery. In fact, right now, he was a bit baffled by the fact that there were no chimera ants in this city.
— Byakuya... "That's a very good call sign for a killer," Isaac said. He obviously understood that it was an assumed name, but he didn't go into details.
After the two of them went deeper into the southern part of the city, they came to a hotel. It was the most "luxurious" hotel in the city and one of the few three-story buildings in the city.
As soon as Su Xiao entered the hotel, he saw a short and plump middle-aged man. He was the boss, chef, and receptionist of this hotel at the same time.
— Where did such lovely guests come from? The hotel boss asked and walked over. In such a city, tourists were the biggest source of income for this hotel.
— Chairman Isaac quickly exchanged a few words with the hotel owner.
Soon, the owner of the hotel led the group to the third floor with great enthusiasm.
Su Xiao walked on the wooden staircase, which creaked every time he stepped on the next step.
Thanks to this hotel, he realized how poor Eastern Goruto was. Considering that the Hunter Association was definitely not short of money, the fact that they were renting this hotel could only mean one thing — this hotel was indeed the most luxurious hotel in this city.
When the hotel owner led them to a room on the third floor, Su Xiao saw a rusted lock and door handle, and the door itself was peeling and the paint was literally peeling off.
Wisps of smoke billowed out of the slightly deformed door...
As soon as the hotel owner opened the door, he started coughing due to the thick smoke.
The room was covered in thick smoke, with three figures vaguely visible.
— Smoker, at this rate, you will never live to be sixty years old, " a girl's voice came from the thick smoke.
— What makes you think that?" a slightly husky but strong male voice answered.
— Sven, please tell the Smoker, he's getting more and more arrogant, " the female voice became quite provocative.
— You can leave if you don't want to wait here, no one is forcing you.
— Hey, aren't you being overconfident? the woman's voice was suddenly cold.
— I'm not being presumptuous. At least I don't provoke others or make other people uncomfortable.
— Your guild deserves what happened to it.
— You... Say it again... " it was said in a very calm tone. There was no excitement, no anger, no threat, no arrogance in it, only calmness, only deadly calm.
— You two can't live together peacefully? One likes to provoke, and the other is ready to kill a person for a few words. You know, a venomous tongue like yours might well be considered a talent. The Brotherhood has fallen on hard times, so don't push it, " the man with the call sign Sven said, and you could tell from his voice that he was quite old.
— I don't like to provoke. It's just that all people are hypocrites. As soon as someone tells the truth, others get angry. However, you are also a hypocrite, trying to sit on two chairs. In fact, your real idea is to get rid of all of us.
— Shut up, I'll really kill you if you keep talking nonsense.
— If you had the strength to do it, you would have done it long ago.
— Hahaha ... hahaha~, " The smoker took a drag on his cigarette and chuckled.
— You three, we're going to fight side by side, so don't intentionally create internal conflicts, " Isaac said as he paused in the doorway.
He didn't enter the room because it was completely covered in thick smoke.
— I think the third floor is on fire! Help!" A loud shout suddenly rang out in the street.
