Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 172 Damn Rich Man

Gordon met Ancil's family at the dinner table.

Only now did he know that in addition to his parents who are still alive, Anxier also has a sister who is almost ten years older than him.

Different from the picture in Feng Ying's wild imagination, An Xil's family members were not arrogant, nor did they show any rejection or dissatisfaction with their arrival. Instead, they seemed quite enthusiastic.

Especially Anhil's mother, a beautiful lady who took very good care of herself.

When she saw her younger son, who had left home as a teenager and was now so mature that she dared not recognize him, come back, she almost went crazy with joy.

No longer caring about modesty and propriety, she ordered the maids to prepare the dinner in a shrill voice. She made everyone in Sterling Mansion jump up and down.

Anhil's father and sister also hurried back after receiving the message from the attendant.

Gordon originally thought that Ancil's father would be an elegant, handsome, mature gentleman with meticulous words and deeds, but he did not expect that he would be a chubby uncle.

His fat face was smiling, full of a friendly smile, his slightly funny mustache was raised up and down, and his words were humorous. He gave the impression that he was a kind uncle next door, and Feng Ying had a great time chatting with him.

Gordon didn't dare to underestimate this guy at all.

As the head of a local wealthy family in East Doruma, and the behind-the-scenes controller and investor of many chambers of commerce, Mr. Sterling cannot be a simple figure.

Sure enough, in a few words, the silly Feng Ying revealed a series of important information about Yanhuo Village's price level, special products, power structure, speakers, etc.

It wasn't until Mrs. Sterling gave him a dissatisfied look that she gave up with a smile.

However, among Ancil's family, the one who impressed Gordon the most was Ancil's sister, the next head of the Sterling family, a lady named Jessica Sterling.

When we first met, she was wearing a dark female formal dress and just followed Mr. Sterling, with a low sense of presence.

The same thing happened after she sat down. She had a formulaic light smile on her face, her eyes seemed unfocused, and she didn't speak much. She was almost exactly the same as Anxier when they first met.

However, as a hunter, Gordon's perception was far beyond ordinary people's, but he could feel that a vague afterglow always shrouded them.

There was neither malice nor goodwill in his eyes, only calm inspection and observation.

It's normal for you to look at me, and you can understand it when you look at Feng Ying, who is still a half-grown girl, so be cautious.

But it’s a bit too much to even leave out the pork chop that is holding the fresh fish and gnawing at it, and the amber that is burying its head in the bowl and slurping, isn’t it?

Gordon glanced at the lady speechlessly.

Noticing his gaze, the other party withdrew his peripheral vision from observing cats and dogs, looked back, and nodded in apology from a slightly invisible angle.

In Gordon and Jessica, you glance at me and I glare at you.

On the other side of the long dining table, Mrs. Sterling was looking at Ancil with worry.

"An Xi, do you really not want to change your clothes first? Your clothes and armor look so rigid, it will make you feel very uncomfortable."

Anhil put down the knife helplessly, "Mother, hunters wear armor every day, and I'm used to it."

"We are all at home, feel free to do whatever you want. I will ask someone to bring you some light clothes. Of course, I will also prepare them for your two friends."

Mrs. Sterling complained, raised her finger, and prepared to summon the attendant.

"No need to bother."

Anhil waved away the attendant, raised his chin and nodded at Gordon, "It's hard to find this guy's size, and we'll be leaving after dinner, so there's no need to prepare clothes."

"Eh? Don't you live at home?"

The disappointment on Mrs. Sterling's face was visible to the naked eye, "There are obviously many rooms, and I have asked the maids to arrange the guest rooms. Now that you are back in Dondoruma, you can definitely stay here."

"no."

Anhil refused decisively, "We are hunters. Our main activities are either at the hunter gathering place or in the wild. It is too inconvenient to live here."

"We can have a carriage pick you up. It's not like we don't have a driver at home." Mrs. Sterling proposed a plan that seemed very constructive.

Mr. Sterling added with a smile. "You have to prepare a more spacious car quickly, otherwise you are both armored and armed, and it may not be so comfortable to sit in."

"Even if you have a car, it's a waste of time to go back and forth on the road." An Xil continued to refuse with a dark face.

Jessica glanced at her younger brother, her face was calm, and her words were all matter-of-fact, "Or in the name of the Sterling Chamber of Commerce, set up an office near the Hunter Assembly Hall as your base."

Gordon & Feng Ying: "."

Suddenly, I understood why Anxier didn't want to stay at home.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Gordon and his entourage left the mansion amidst Mrs. Sterling's reluctant farewell.

To be honest, Gordon was not entirely happy with this dinner, or dinner.

It's not that the Sterling family wasn't well prepared, on the contrary, Mrs. Sterling was too well prepared.

Take the slow-braised dragon loin as the main course. It is soft and delicious, melts in your mouth, and has no shortcomings except the small portion.

Dongdoruma is close to the sea, so there are naturally no shortage of seafood ingredients that appear on the Sterling family's dinner table.

However, these seafood are not local products. Things like queen shrimp sashimi and secret barnacle abalone are all said to be treasures from the distant New World.

It's delicious. Gordon doesn't know how to describe it. In short, it's delicious, but it's a pity that it's only a small bite.

The dessert after the meal is also great. The ice cream made from emerald durian is rich and sweet, but does not have any peculiar smell that durian should have.

Gordon thought he could eat the whole bucket, but all he had before him was a small dollop in a passion fruit shell.

"I asked Anxil, the amount of food at your house is a little bit less."

Gordon patted his flat belly and complained, half jokingly and half seriously: "It's just my aunt and your sister. With my uncle's size, can he really eat enough?"

Feng Ying nodded wildly on the side, expressing her agreement.

An Xil rolled his eyes when he heard this, "If you just tell me that you haven't eaten enough, what's the point of talking about my father? Do you really think they are you two?"

A roasted herbivorous dragon leg can be stuffed in by one person.

Today’s amount is already given by the head chef, so he added more for the sake of your size.”

Gordon grinned and said nothing more.

The amount of exercise and food intake of a hunter are not comparable to ordinary people. Not to mention big-bellied guys like him and Feng Ying, even Anxier himself probably didn't have enough to eat.

"Okay, stop complaining. Go back to my house and put down your luggage. I will take you to the night market to taste the local delicacies of Dongdoruma."

"Yeah~!"

"Meow!"

Feng Ying Pork Chops raised her hands and cheered.

Gordon noticed something was wrong, "Why go back to your house? Didn't we just come out of your house? Are we going to the Hunter Assembly Hall to register for renting a house?"

Anhil glanced at him strangely, "Although that was my home just now, to be precise, it was the Sterling Mansion. What I'm talking about now is the house I bought myself, my personal home. Do you understand?

Also, what kind of house should I rent? Although my house is not very big, it is still enough for three people to live in.

By the way, Feng Ying, which floor do you want to live on? I suggest the third floor, where you can see the stars through the skylight."

"Look at the stars!" Feng Ying continued to respond mindlessly.

Gordon: "."

Damn rich people.
