Chapter 83: Hunter 83: The Five-Person Squad in Action
"Isn't this asking for death?"
Lin Jiu thought to himself as he saw that the opponent had lost all ability to resist.
"Wait!"
Stroheim shouted immediately when he saw the vampire hunter raise his weapon and aim at the Pillar Man who had turned back into a statue.
"What's wrong?"
"Never mind!"
Stroheim gave up his thought when he saw Lin Jiu had already pierced through the statue's head like a needle through paper.
[You have killed Pillar Man - Four: Santana]
[Santana is a plot character. You have gained 5% of the World's Source, now totaling 5% of the World's Source.]
[You have obtained a (Green) treasure chest]
[Your talent Soul Condensation has activated... Your Soul Value has permanently increased by 10 points!]
...
...
[Main Quest (Two): Ultimate Warrior (Completed!)]
[Return qualification obtained!]
[Quest Reward: 2 attribute points, 10,000 Paradise Coins. Already issued, to be acquired upon settlement.]
Lin Jiu picked up the green treasure chest invisible to others. Seeing that he had obtained the return qualification, he revealed a satisfied smile.
This smile made Joseph's heart tremble, and the Hamon he had gathered couldn't be maintained and dispersed.
"This guy isn't some villain, is he? If so, then we'll have to run! He's even more terrifying than that Pillar Man just now!"
Joseph kept thinking to himself, his hand on the back of Speedwagon's chair, ready to flee at any moment.
"What are you trying to do?!"
Speedwagon was startled when he saw Lin Jiu, who had just killed Santana, suddenly turn around.
Lin Jiu: "???"
Damn, I just turned around, what's the big deal!
"This guy is taken care of. In the future, you can contact me for things like this."
Lin Jiu instructed. With today's battle results, when the Kars trio appears later, Joseph and the others will naturally seek his help.
This way, he wouldn't need to spend too much effort here and could focus on dealing with the contract breakers this time.
"How do we find you?"
Joseph asked. He felt that this matter wouldn't end so easily, a premonition from his bloodline instinct.
"A national army, a super foundation, it should be easy to find me, right?" Lin Jiu smiled lightly, looking at Speedwagon and Stroheim.
Lin Jiu borrowed a car and left the base. Stroheim didn't stop him. With the strength the other party had just demonstrated, if they couldn't kill him in one go, the price to pay would be enormous.
Just based on the aura he displayed, if there was a conflict between the two sides, Stroheim believed that the other party would assassinate their higher-ups.
Lin Jiu didn't know that after he left, everyone in the base had an unusually consistent thought: unless necessary, it's better not to find this unfriendly vampire hunter.
Lin Jiu: Is my Charm attribute of 8 points just for show? Who the hell looks like a big villain?
"Speedwagon, we should leave too. It's better not to deal with these things in the future. Everyone is very worried about you."
Joseph waved his hand, saying to Speedwagon.
"No. There was a mural in the cave where Santana was discovered. It had four faces carved on it, and Santana was the fourth one at the bottom. This means that what the vampire hunter said wasn't wrong."
Afterwards, Joseph took Speedwagon and left the place. Although Santana had died, his petrified body still existed. The body was gradually becoming inactive. Part of it was sent to the Speedwagon Foundation for research, and part was kept by Stroheim.

"Boss, is it useful for us to come to this place? Those people have all gone to find Joseph's mother's location. Shouldn't we also be going after the Red Stone of Aja?"
The speaker was called Gentle Glory, built like a bear but with such a scholarly codename. According to him, he just liked this kind of elegant codename
"Brother Gentle is right. Boss, do you want to complete other main quests?"
The little loli next to Gentle Glory thought of this possibility and immediately showed a terrified expression.
The contractor they called the boss was the leader of this small adventure group, named Gentle Youth.
Hearing his teammates' confusion, Gentle Youth smiled and said, "Do you think that place is easy to find? Even if they find it, do you think Lisa Lisa will be easy to deal with? Of course, we need to build a good relationship with the protagonist first."
"I see!"
This was a five-person squad. The one who responded was White Sand, the team's crowd control specialist.
"Boss, look, that's Joseph!"
The fifth person, Summer Flame, was the team's ranged attacker and scout, besides the little loli Linda.
The commotion in the small square where pigeons were being fed had already attracted some onlookers. They approached and saw Joseph fighting with a blonde man.
"This must be Caesar from the Zeppeli family!"
Summer Flame said, seeing this scene.
"But how are we supposed to get close to them?"
Little Loli Linda frowned and asked.
Gentle Youth smiled bitterly and said, "This is where the difficulty lies. Both Joseph and Caesar are meticulous people. Without a proper reason, we can't mix in to gain their favor. But since we're here, there will always be a chance."
Joseph and Caesar fought each other, and both ended up in a miserable state. Still very dissatisfied with each other, Speedwagon helplessly took them to a restaurant, sitting down hoping they could have a good talk.
"Speedwagon, I understand your intention. Now the German army has discovered the remains of another Pillar Man. I can go check it out, but he doesn't need to come along."
Caesar raised his hand, pointing at Joseph across the table.
"Haha, who do you think you are? Old man, don't bother with this guy. That vampire hunter Red from last time was pretty good, why don't we find him."
Joseph slammed the table and said. Regarding that vampire hunter Red, he was only wary of his aura, but compared to this annoying guy in front of him, Red was much more pleasing to the eye.
"I'm quite interested in this professional vampire hunter Red you're talking about. I wonder if he's as strong as you say."
Caesar lowered his head and smiled slightly.
Speedwagon saw this scene and felt a bit helpless. Caesar had always viewed his grandfather and father as his honor. On the other hand, he only told Joseph about these things after solving the problem of Straizo turning into a vampire. This made it completely impossible for the descendants of Jonathan and Will A. Zeppeli, who fought side by side, to resonate.
Suddenly, Joseph changed his attitude and said, "I think this guy's strength is still pretty good! I agree that we should all act together!"
"Hmph! Is this for you to agree? But since you admit you're not as good, I, Caesar, will agree to go with you."
Caesar saw Joseph's change in tone and thought he had softened, so he laughed.
"Oh~ It's great that you can think this way."
Speedwagon didn't expect the turning point to come so quickly and was overjoyed.
Joseph then suggested to Speedwagon, "Old man, there are three Pillar Men this time, just to be safe, we should contact Red. And also satisfy this blondie's curiosity!"
"Hmph!"
"That makes sense, I'll contact the Speedwagon Foundation members to get in touch with him."
Speedwagon felt Joseph's words made a lot of sense. The other party was a professional and more suitable for handling this kind of thing. They shouldn't subconsciously exclude others just because their aura makes people uneasy.
Seeing Speedwagon agree to this suggestion, Joseph revealed a satisfied smile. With Caesar A. Zeppeli's annoying personality, when he meets the vampire hunter Red, he'll get a good lesson!
That's right.
Joseph made this suggestion entirely to teach Caesar a lesson through Red's hands! Being a professional vampire hunter was only a small part of the reason.
"Hey, miss, have you heard enough? If you weren't a beautiful woman, I would have already taken action!"
Caesar suddenly said to a woman sitting at a nearby table.
He had noticed earlier that when they were talking, this beautiful woman's ears were moving, obviously listening to their conversation.
"Who are you people?"
Joseph immediately became alert. Although he disliked Caesar's personality now, he also knew that Caesar wouldn't act recklessly.
If it was a harmless beautiful woman, Caesar would have already started flirting.
"Don't misunderstand, we just know a little about vampire legends. We became interested when we heard you talking about these supernatural things."
Gentle Youth quickly stood up and apologetically said to the three of them.
"Yeah, we're not bad people!"
The burly Gentle Glory had a silly expression.
Joseph carefully examined each of them, which made Gentle Youth and the others a bit nervous. They originally came to build a relationship with the protagonist, but now it felt like they had outsmarted themselves.
