Chapter 106: Mr. Wolf
When a dungeon gate disappears, a team of hunters carrying loot will come out. They may or may not be injured, but all of them are alive, while the dead are left trapped inside the dungeon forever.
It may sound bad, but many people think that an entire huge dungeon being used as a grave for a few people would be a wonderful tomb. Outside, if someone wanted to buy a massive plot of land like that as a grave, it would be extremely difficult.
This time, the people monitoring the gate saw corpses instead of living people, so naturally, they were extremely panicked.
Since they had no idea what was going on, many people were even worried that they were about to end up like one of those mutilated corpses.
"Red alert! Red alert!"
"Quickly call you here as fast as possible."
"For now, everyone stay away from there. We don’t know if there is any hidden danger inside."
Everyone immediately went into a frenzy. It was clearly just a pile of harmless corpses, but no one here dared to recklessly approach.
They thought there was some danger hidden inside that had never been recorded before. After all, everyone only had one life, and there was no need to lose it stupidly just because of curiosity.
Now, suddenly wanting to get an S-rank hunter here was extremely difficult, but only an S-rank hunter had enough ability to deal with matters like this.
Even if they were A-rank hunters, they would still be very cautious when there was a possibility of encountering a major problem that could affect all of humanity.
Normally, this place was under White’s management, so she would definitely come here quickly to investigate, but White definitely couldn’t go now.
Chairman Peter couldn’t come immediately either because, compared to this matter, he was more concerned about making sure White wouldn’t be disturbed so that she would have a higher chance of successfully breaking through to the Qi Refinement realm.
It was just a dungeon, so what big deal could there be? Even if the investigation went smoothly, they would only learn a few more useful pieces of information. But if she successfully broke through, humanity would have another SS-rank capable of protecting an entire country.
For an experienced old man like Peter, he didn’t need much time to think to know which matter was more important.
About twenty minutes later, a tall and slender middle-aged man appeared. Behind him was a group of hunters, including several A-rank hunters.
They weren’t from the same guild, but Mr. Wolf was the only S-rank here, so everyone naturally took a step back behind him.
Mr. Wolf was naturally the guildmaster of the Wolf guild, as well as Bell’s father. The Wolf guild now had two S-rank hunters, the father and son.
Just by looking at their identical faces, anyone could tell they were father and son. The biggest difference between them was probably their body size. Even though he had muscles, Mr. Wolf was slender rather than bulky like Bell.
"You guys got lucky that I was on a business trip nearby. Now, anyone who doesn’t have the ability, get farther away. I don’t even understand what’s going on right now."
Mr. Wolf waved his hand to send all these useless people away before moving forward by himself. He didn’t want a bunch of weak people to die pointlessly for no reason because of something beyond their abilities.
"Yes, sir."
Everyone nodded and moved aside to make way for Mr. Wolf. They were very happy to hear this rather than something completely opposite.
After all, although the bloody mess of flesh hadn’t decomposed yet, it was still very horrifying to look at. No one had anything better to do than stare at them for fun.
Mr. Wolf glanced around once and saw someone still barely alive. Although Mark’s body was covered in blood and looked extremely battered, his breathing was still fairly steady.
Nexus had told the system not to recover certain parts, so naturally, the system followed the request. Everything else had been completely restored, including Mark’s heart, lungs, blood vessels, and many other things.
Nexus wanted the system to only restore the spiritual root, but the system used the loophole in the wording to help Mark a little more.
Although the system was terrible at talking, it was an existence created by the archangel Michael. The kindness hidden behind that arrogance wasn’t easy to notice.
"It’s my first time seeing human corpses being transported outside like this..."
"Hm? This face looks familiar. Ah, I remember now, this is that kid I was too lazy to pay attention to before. Didn’t he awaken an F-rank ability not long ago? Why would someone like him be in a B-rank dungeon?"
An S-rank hunter had an extremely good memory, and even if he had only seen someone a few times many years ago, he wouldn’t forget their face. Not to mention whenever Bell happened to run into Mark, he would trample all over Mark’s dignity, so Mr. Wolf remembered him quite clearly.
Precisely because he remembered him clearly, Mr. Wolf had to frown. Unless Mark had been kidnapped by a hunter much higher ranked than him and secretly thrown into the dungeon when the dungeon gate had just appeared, and there weren’t any monitors yet, Mr. Wolf couldn’t think of any other reasonable possibility.
"Bring me the list of everyone who entered this dungeon over the past few days."
This sudden order from Mr. Wolf left the monitors stunned, but they reacted quite quickly and immediately nodded.
They didn’t have to take much responsibility in this matter, so they just needed to follow Mr. Wolf’s request and didn’t need to be too curious.
"Y... yes, sir."
Although they were weak and some of them were even quite timid, the monitors worked extremely quickly. The records containing information about everyone who had entered this dungeon recently reached Mr. Wolf’s hands within three minutes.
"As expected, he’s not there."
After quickly glancing through it once, Mr. Wolf immediately noticed that Mark’s name wasn’t there. The situation became even stranger when he read the information about Kael’s hunter team.
"Three B-ranks, fifteen C-ranks. They’re all dead. These kinds of wounds should be caused by a monster using a slashing attack. But the only F-rank suffered internal damage... And he’s the only survivor."
The more Mr. Wolf thought about it, the tighter his brows knitted. To him, Mark wasn’t a threat, but it seemed that Mark was involved in something big enough that he had to be cautious.
