The two shook hands and separated at the same time.

The two sides exchanged polite words, Pather stood there, and Liu Dao walked away in silence.

The guards on the periphery silently opened a path for Liu Dao, staring at this powerful but hard-working man with awe and strange eyes.

Pather, who was standing there, whispered softly: "Control and be controlled, resist and be resisted, the war between the puppeteer and the puppet will never end."

The next few days were very peaceful. These peaceful days were the most abnormal place. The noble district had just experienced an explosion. There was no staff transfer in the Demon Hunting Guild. The newspapers that usually got wind of the news didn't mention it at all. The abnormal calmness is the most frightening.

Liu Dao had negotiated the terms with James for several days, but the elite corpse promised to him had never arrived. Liu Dao could endure it for one day, two days, or three days, but it was already a week.

Will this old man see through me? Liu Dao, who was fishing in the guild hall, thought to himself, "It's impossible. The conditions I proposed are quite satisfactory. There shouldn't be any problems."

"Gaia, come on." A familiar female voice came from Liu Dao's left.

Liu Dao looked up and saw that it was Wayne, the current deputy director of patrol.

Is there really something wrong with James? Liu Dao frowned as he thought of what Kate and Wayne had threatened him not long ago.

This time, the three-party meeting was still in the familiar secret meeting room. Kate's expression was very calm, but Liu Dao still noticed a hint of sadness hidden in her.

"Gaia, in order to reward your recent heroic performance, the guild has a special gift for you."

Kate's tone was very official, but Liu Dao glanced at the secret meeting room where the soundproof barrier was arranged, and silently stared at Kate with dead fish eyes.

There is a need for commendation here, and the two of you are specifically chosen to talk about it. Just think about it and you know there is something fishy about it.

After Kate read out the official document, she took out a rune and handed it to Liu Dao. Liu Dao looked slightly stunned. Is it that simple?

The rune stone Kate handed him was gray in color. The runes carved on the rune stone were cold and mechanical, and the corners were all at the most standard right angles.

Death runes? The appearance is gray, the bends are at right angles, and the touch is slightly lower than body temperature. This is the standard configuration of death runes.

"Well, this rune."

Liu Dao took the rune stone, looked left and right, and began to pretend to check the runes, although he knew nothing about death runes.

"These are the corpse storage runes stored in the guild. I advise you not to have any wishful thinking about this technology. The runes given to you have already been set up for confidentiality. If there is a problem, the guild will not return or replace them."

Kate warned Liu Dao in a cold tone, and then Liu Dao put away the rune.

"If there's nothing else, you can go, Demon Hunter Gaia."

Liu Dao looked at Kate and Wayne in surprise. These two women handed out the rewards to him so simply, as if the sun was rising in the west.

Forget it, why do you think so much?

Liu Dao curled his lips casually, turned around and left the secret discussion room.

At this time, Kate's steady voice came from behind him: "Gaia, remember, you are a demon hunter."

Liu Dao looked confused when he went out. Kate wouldn't repeat it twice for no reason. Why did she mention the Witcher repeatedly? Does this have any meaning?

However, Liu Dao, who had just left the secret meeting room, was immediately pulled away by Tucci. At this moment, the plague messenger was full of jealousy, but on the surface he had to show a gentle smile.

"Gaia, this is your reward from your last mission. Keep your things and remember the organization's recognition of you."

Tuqi said and handed over a familiar rune. Liu Dao took it and looked at it, and was stunned for a moment.

This rune is gray in appearance and cold to the touch. The symbols of the rune are not curved in any way. It turns out to be another undead rune.

Tucci left in a hurry after handing the runes to Liu Dao. Regarding Liu Dao's reward this time, Tucci was really afraid that if he continued to stay, he would be unable to control himself and snatch it away.

‘Damn it, why is this stupid demon hunter so lucky? It was clearly a death mission passed down from above, but he was allowed to live to receive the reward. ’

Liu Dao, who was hated by Tu Qi because of the high mission reward, did not feel any surprise at this moment, only deep thoughts and subtle fear.

He had just compared the runes that Kate gave him with those that Tucci gave him. The reason why he felt that the second rune was familiar was simple because he had just seen the exact same one in Kate's hand.

James Pather is truly a legendary executor.

Liu Dao secretly sighed that he could almost predict the trajectory of today's life.

Just as Liu Dao thought, after leaving the Demon Hunting Guild, he met Dame Kelly who appeared by chance, Detective Yu who had been waiting for a long time, Hayes who was about to work, and finally Smith who was waiting at home.

Just like the day before, the four senders of invitations repeated the steps that Kate and Tucci had already done and handed a rune that had been prepared long ago to Liu Dao.

After sending away the nervous Smith, Liu Dao rubbed his temples and slumped down on the sofa. This sudden incident completely disrupted his mind.

If the previous invitation letter can still be explained as a transaction between the major forces and Lord Hui Guang, then this time he actually allowed major organizations to prepare an elite-level corpse for him, which is far from being explained by a transaction.

"Little demon hunter, I didn't expect you to be so capable of causing trouble." A frivolous voice came from the darkness, and Liu Dao knew who it was without even having to distinguish it.

"Miss Assassin, long time no see."

The assassin, or specifically the elite assassin of the Jiying Group, the mysterious person who once dressed as a maid in Blue Shield Town, walked over with an enchanting step, and her curvaceous body sank deeply into the sofa.

"Long time no see, little Gaia."

"Have you brought the things? You can leave after putting them on the coffee table." Liu Dao, who was racing with thoughts, closed his eyes tightly. Only today's events made him truly feel what grand momentum is.

"Thing, what is it?" Miss Assassin asked in a flirtatious tone. Liu Dao opened his eyes instantly, his eyes flashing with light.

It had been half a month since Liu Dao last met with James. At this moment, the executor and the puppet met again, and the attitudes of both parties were different.

The last time we parted, although Liu Dao left alone, the expression on his face was cheerful.

This time the two met again. Although Liu Dao was followed by six professionals in black robes, his face was full of sorrow.

The place where James and Liu Dao met was in the Noble District. From their right side, less than 100 meters away was Lord Landun's mansion.

"Mr. Necromancer, we meet again." Today, James behaved like a standard butler, and the arrogance in his expression was clearly visible.

He silently looked at the six men in black robes behind Liu Dao. After a careful inspection, he patted Liu Dao on the shoulder with an admiring tone.

"As expected of the legendary death hunter, the secret techniques of the ancient sect will not disappoint."

Liu Dao, who was tapped on the shoulder, looked lifeless, like a middle-aged man crushed by the pressure of reality, with only helpless surrender in his expression.

"What do you need me to do? Sneak in through the back door?"

Liu Dao's tone was cold and he did not cooperate with James' greetings. James did not take it seriously. He led Liu Dao through the aristocratic area and soon arrived at the final destination.

Facing the huge door of Blue Shield Manor, James carefully arranged his clothes, as if he were a butler who came to pay a formal visit, and he was meticulous.

"As righteous people, we don't need to sneak in. This is an aboveboard visit."
