Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 141 "Kurapika's Doubts"

That night, Germain and others sat around a long table to enjoy dinner, and the dazzling array of dishes on the table were naturally cooked by gourmet hunters Men Qi and Buhara.

Many of them were "trophies" looted from the Dark Continent. With better cooking conditions in the mansion, Menqi and Buhara made them better and more delicious.

Kurapika and Zhixi also saw Sambika at this time. When they heard Yun Gu say that she had been at the research institute behind the mansion, they both looked surprised.

They didn't notice Sambika's existence at all. They didn't know whether to say that she hid it too well, or that her sense of existence was too weak.

This time Sambika did not hide in the room as before. She mustered up the courage to sit on the seat next to Bisji, took off her mask, and revealed a small and delicate face.

She ate her dinner in small bites and quietly, keeping her head lowered, as if she was worried about meeting other people's eyes, as if she would be infected with some incurable disease.

Sambika mostly responded to other people's concerns and questions by nodding and shaking her head. When she couldn't get over it, she just said a soft "hmm" and "yes".

Several people, including Germain, heard her voice for the first time at this moment, and immediately felt that today's dinner was off to a good start.

Everyone began to talk, most of them talking about interesting things when completing certain commissions, as well as their views on V5 and the Cajin Empire.

Taking this opportunity, Kurapika also gained a deeper understanding of professional hunters while listening carefully.

Beast hunters, gem hunters, food hunters, virus hunters... There are many categories of professional hunters, and the biggest feature that distinguishes them is the prey they hunt.

Kurapika couldn't help but think about the future. In the past, he would not have been so "confused" because he was sure of what he was going to do.

He wants to take back the Red Eye and take revenge on the "Phantom Troupe". His future is certain and he will live for it for the rest of his life.

After becoming the teacher's disciple, he changed a little. He had to change. If he didn't change, the teacher would not have accepted him as a disciple and taught him how to enter another world.

Now, Kurapika has to admit that he is becoming more and more immersed in the fun of telekinesis, and he cannot regard regaining the flaming eyes and revenge as the end of his life.

The teacher and others are always mysterious. Just like today, the teacher, Bisiki, Menqi and Buhara disappeared for almost half a day. They said they went nearby, but they could not convince Kurapika.

Chiki believed it, but Kurapika had an intuition that it was the potential that only those who could become elites in Nen ability would have. Teacher and the others must be hiding some secret.

Kurapika quickly understood the reason why the teacher didn't tell him, because he wasn't strong enough.

Maybe one day, the teacher will take the initiative to tell him all the truth, just like the teacher promised.

At the same time, Kurapika believed that under the influence of his teacher, he would sooner or later become a professional hunter, which was inevitable.

However, if you want to destroy the Phantom Troupe and regain the flaming eyes of your tribe, what kind of professional hunter should you become?

With this question in mind, Kurapika asked Germain this question during the "Tang Jue Lian" training session the next day.

"Bounty hunter, crime hunter."

Germain answered while closing his eyes and letting his breath flow through his body easily.

"The prey you are hunting determines that you must come into contact with the dark side of human society, especially gangs."

Gangsters...Kurapika had traveled around the world after the Kuluta tribe massacre and before meeting his teacher. Naturally, he was no stranger to the "Ten Old Men" and the "Three Giants of the Kajin Empire".

"Do you think that through those gangs, I can get more information about the Red Eyes and the Phantom Troupe?"

Germain nodded.

"Of course. I told you before that the core members of the Phantom Troupe are all from Meteor Street, and Meteor Street has close cooperation with the gangs."

"As for the red eyes, most of them are probably through the black market. In this case, the involvement of gangsters is inevitable."

Kurapika listened quietly for a while, thought for a while, and then asked with some confusion:

"Teacher, wouldn't you be angry if I contacted gangs and achieved my goals? Or would you support my cooperation with gangs?"

Germain slowly opened his eyes.

The beak hunter's black robe was changed today. He was wearing an ordinary hunter's black robe. The gaze under the triangular hat brim looked at Kurapika, which made Kurapika feel slightly uneasy.

"Someone once told me that 'Hunter' is a neutral word that has nothing to do with good or evil, right or wrong. Not to mention, before I became a hunter, I was a killer."

Germain pointed to Bisji in the distance.

Bisji really kept his promise and went to a nearby town early in the morning to customize a set of clothes for Buhara that fit his figure. Now he is showing the design to Buhara.

The clothing on the design drawing was too fashionable and ran counter to Buhara's simple character. However, it was the wish of the senior hunter. Buhara couldn't refuse and rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment.

Men Qi knew what his partner was thinking and spoke to him from the side, seeming to want to put off this suit of clothes.

But Bisiji was very stubborn and insisted that Buhara try on the custom-made outfit in the design. It must look good.

It makes sense that people depend on their clothes. Even a tall and fat man can portray a domineering look as long as he wears the right clothes that suit his temperament.

Kurapika has been observing Bisiki for some time and knows that she is far from being as unreliable as she seems. Even the teacher often follows her advice.

Germain pursed his thin lips and continued to say to Kurapika:

"Like 'hunter,' 'gangster,' 'killer,' 'police,' 'doctor,' 'lawyer,' 'teacher,' etc., are all neutral words for me."

"I will not trust the other party absolutely because he is a hunter, nor will I fight with him to the end just because he is a gangster. This is not in line with my principles of dealing with things."

"Principles and bottom lines." Germain stretched out two fingers towards Kurapika.

"They are a magic weapon for you to always maintain yourself in this world, instead of becoming a labeled appendage of a certain group."

"You should try your best to base yourself on the situation that is beneficial to you, but do not violate your principles and bottom line."

"Otherwise, you will either become a monster group that is paranoid and twisted to this point for the sake of revenge and protection like the Phantom Troupe, or you will burn yourself out like the 'Fire Fist' and fall into nothingness."

After hearing this, Kurapika nodded thoughtfully and replied: "Teacher, I understand what you mean."

Germain didn't say much. He didn't like long speeches, so the point was enough.

If Kurapika still goes down the path of the original timeline, he will be very sorry, but he respects Kurapika's choice, just as he respects Xiaodi's persistence in Meteor Street.
