My Last Hunt

Chapter 322: Where he is heading?

Where he is heading? 

The spy shuffled some of the weapons then wander aimlessly. When he was heading toward the clothing shop; someone stopped him. Another hunter of the first hunting school saw the particular hunter moving around in market and stooped. "You were on some mission? Did your return or still busy with?" the fellow hunter asked. The spy immediately gestured him to keep quite. He then dragged him toward silent corner looking around. Qiao noted those actions and understood the new hunter was familiar with him. He did not follow behind instead observed from afar. He was trying to understand the conclusion of their silent talk. 

His hearing has much improved and the present distance was not much. He could hear the rustle in the open forest from hundred feet detachment. Hearing them was not much difficult since he could also guess from the moving lips. The spy was asking him figure out whether he was being chased or not. To this the hunter nodded and walked away. Now it was slightly problematic. The spy could take advantage and skip from his follow up. Qiao thought to silence the second dude for the sake of the goodness. The best friend of the disloyal was also called disloyal and according to the senior; killing a disloyal was not considered a crime. 

Qiao covered his face with the hood of the fleece and kept the stone under his tongue. It was for the future. People should not blame him a mad killer. Qiao walked behind the second dude. In his eyes he was saving his friend from the chase while he himself was being chased now. Qiao needed one glance to confirm the direction of the spy and later he could reach the spy. The fellow seemed professional; he was very diligent in his job. 

It took sometime before Qiao decided right place for the deed. He held his weapon in his hand and closely followed. The fellow came out of the market area because his friend was also leaving the busy market. It was right there the first building away from the market; the fellow was moving through the corner. Qiao suddenly appeared in front and without giving time for further breathing his weapon cut the throat not making noise. The fellow fell right there. The spy after asking his friend got worry free. He was sure that his friend was securing his path. 

Qiao dragged the body aside and cleaned his weapon. He was level seven and killing another hunter cannot bring any damage to his position as well as his hunting. After all it was order of the Golden Arch. Level seven and up hunters were given random missions and when it says random the definitely random and unexpected. It can also be killing another higher level hunter involved in crude matters of the Hightown. The limits were for reason and letting loose that limit was also for a reason. In both norms the hunter was oblige to follow. 

The spy went toward the local lodges. These were hired by the guild-less hunters. The spy was aware that if he reached the master and told then he might kill him. There were strict instructions that no matter if he was forced to take his life; he should not disclose the identity of the master. Right after the incident going in the first hunting school was similar of disclosing who he was and what master he belonged. The temporary lodge was hired for all those hunters who were doing such type of spy jobs for the master. The spy looked around and entered in the lodge. 

Qiao remained at the outside of the lodge and counted how many hunters reached there by the end of the evening. Total five hunters were present in the lodge when the evening fell and Qiao remembered that he cannot stay in the open in the night despite the fact that it was territory of the Hightown. Qiao was about to go and rent the nearest lodge however he saw the spy entering the next lodge gladly. It was clear that the previous lodge was also rented by his fellows; else there was no reason for his good mood. 

His fellows were in trouble because they could not collect enough of information in the limited time while the spy collected all ten names from the third hunting school. Those ten hunters would be killed by the beasts as soon as the disloyal master exposed their names. It was chain of secret activities which the new Lord of the Hunting School started right after taking charge of the school. These activities were kept in the dark until now. It was first task to kill the aspiring hunters sooner. Later the beasts would destroy most of the Nests in the two continents where the Hightown was in power. 

The second part of hidden activities involved around the fact that the beasts wanted to weaken the control of the Hunters. After doing this they can openly glare toward the Towers of the Hightown where Rank Masters were always the rulers. Well the matters were not simple; Hightown was sending one after other missions in destroying the intentions and deeds of the beasts. It was constant cold war which was slowly fueling. Qiao was becoming part of this cold war unintentionally. No one knows where this would lead while his limited persistently decreasing in this mess. 

Qiao was thoughtful; he always kept clear calculations about the spent time and the remaining days. He also checked his progress. Just that the unfolding events were tempering his various aspects and the possible tricks which the hunters, disloyals or the evil beasts could come up with. All could go in his favor or otherwise; nothing was concrete. 

The master hired the criminal record holder hunters for this purpose; they no way resemble with the normal hunters with all those crude make over and the appearance. 

The spy left the lodge and Qiao entered only to meet the bunch of disloyals. They looked at the unknown hunter and asked, "Did the master appointed you as well?" Qiao closed the door behind and voiced, "Not for the same reason." His weapon shining in their eyes.
