Chapter 48 - Team C (1/2)

The man was silent for a minute as he simply stared back at Hecathe in shock.

Hecathe had a proud smirk on his face as he waited for the man to properly answer his question this time.

”Look, boy, If you seriously manage to show us something we've never seen before and somehow get that permanent position, you can ask any question you want.”

”I hope you don't go back on your promise,” Hecathe responded with a dry chuckle.

The man scoffed as he nodded his head, ”And you better not come back as a corpse.”

This man seemed to have been really underestimating Hecathe and it wasn't shocking considering the fact that Hecathe didn't exactly look that powerful at this moment.

”Team C is going to have a fun time with you,” The man commented and it almost sounded as if the man was mocking Hecathe and his confidence.

”Do you want to bet?” Hecathe questioned as he felt a little amused after seeing the man underestimate him to this level.

”Bet? What type of bet?”

”I don't really like the fact that you mages look down so much on hunters,” Hecathe sighed as he spoke up, ”So let us make a bet. If I manage to capture more mutants than the other teams, you follow my command.”

The man clicked his tongue and responded, ”You sound quite confident. I'll agree to the bet, but if you don't win it, you clean the guildhall today, okay?”

”It's a deal,” Hecathe chuckled as he heard such a stupid condition, ”But don't expect me to go easy on you once I win.”

The man had a small smile on his face as he spoke, ”You better not disappoint me, young boy.”

Hecathe nodded his head but said nothing as he heard this since he found it a bit hard to understand if this man was underestimating him completely or just trying to push him to show his talent.

Well, it wasn't like he cared what this man was thinking either. To him, this guy was nothing more than an unimportant side character that would eventually be forgotten.

The guy led him towards a door, but instead of opening the door, he turned around and stepped aside as he instructed Hecathe, ”Team C is ready to leave so you better hurry up.”

Hecathe nodded his head as he understood the man's intention and walked forward to open the door right ahead.

”You're not even afraid?” The man muttered, sounding to be a bit amused.

”I would naturally not be,” Hecathe responded with a smile as he opened the door and walked right in.

He entered a room that was rather small and at the same time also gave the illusion of being big. The walls, the ceiling, the ground and everything in the room had the same dark metallic grey colour which almost made it impossible to understand the depth of the room.
