Chapter 36 (2/2)

Hika stared at him, pretending to lunge at him, and made threatening gestures.

“Your age doesn’t matter. I like mature women,” Austin said quickly.

“I’ll give you a chance to apologize. Treat me to dinner tonight!”

Austin wanted to say yes, but he remembered that he was penniless and did not have a single cent. How could he treat someone to a meal?

“Are you paying for me this time?”

Hika felt exasperated.

“You want me to pay?”

Austin threw up his hands and said, “I don’t have a choice because I don’t have any money now.”

Hika was speechless with anger.

Many young elites and rich second-generation men who wanted to treat her to a meal got rejected.

Yet, now that Hika had taken the initiative, Austin asked her to pay for him?

Hika was furious, of course.

However, to befriend Austin, a meal was nothing.

“I’ll see you at the Liboli Hotel at 7 PM tonight!”

Hika stomped off.

“The Liboli Hotel? It’s the most luxurious hotel in Faye City. Hmm…”

Austin thought with anticipation.

After Hika left, the Martian hunter, Ankti, came in.

Austin was a wanted man as representatives of the major powers in Faye scrambled to invite him.

After all, Austin’s performance in the official magister exam was too astonishing.

He could have killed one low-level vicious beast to pass the exam.

Yet, Austin had hunted down mid-level beasts and even high-level beasts.

A high-level vicious beast was comparable to a tier-three magister.

A tier-three magister could be considered an expert in a base city.

They would be treated as an honored guest in any factions they join.

No wonder Austin had become so popular.

They were not inviting an official magister but a tier-three magister!

The Martian hunter went straight to the point and invited Austin to join the famous hunting team in Faye City—the Stars Hunting Team.

In which, the vice-captains used Mars, Mercury, Saturn, and Venus as codenames.

And the captain was the Jupiter Hunter!

For a hunting team to have four tier-three magisters and a tier-four magister, it was no wonder they were famous in Faye city.

The Martian hunter promised numerous benefits, and Austin was rather tempted.

Unfortunately, Austin had never intended to join the hunting team.

Dividing the spoils was always a problem.

Austin only wanted to sell everything he hunted and earn profit without the need to argue with others.

As expected, Cass from the royal family arrived shortly after Ankti left.

Apart from promising all sorts of benefits, Cass even brought up social responsibility.

“Lord Cass, even if I don’t join the royal family, I will still do my best to protect my home.”

Austin refused without saying much.

Other major forces in Faye City had extended olive branches to Austin. However, Austin had rejected all of them.

Austin was ready to leave.

Before that, he received a metal box.
