Yasha and Maris stood outside the practice room of the Clover Branch, waiting for Levi.
She didn't know why she had to see Levi once.
Perhaps it was because Li Wei saved her life twice when she was at her most helpless; perhaps it was because of that very profound conversation she had with him on the day they first arrived at the Four-Leaf Clover branch, a conversation that was deeply meaningful to Yasha herself.
As she waited, her gaze looked out the window at the lush greenery. Although the scenery she could see was only a small part within her line of sight, she felt as if she were overlooking the entire city of Westudum.
She gradually realized that perhaps she wanted to see Li Wei one last time, just to say goodbye to the city.
In this city that belonged to her, among the people she could see now, only Li Wei could leave a deep impression in her heart.
Leaving this city has to have a goodbye ceremony.
Lost in thought, the door in front of her was pushed open and Li Wei appeared before her.
Li Wei was wearing loose sports pants and stood barefoot in front of Ya Sha, wiping the sweat from his face with a towel while looking at the young girl in confusion. The tight black tank top he wore on his upper body perfectly outlined his physique. His chest muscles were not exaggerated but definitely well-developed, and his well-defined abdominal muscles both represented Li Wei's excellent core strength.
What a charming person.
She didn't speak, just gazing at him in a daze.
Li Wei felt very uncomfortable being stared at by her. He said, "Ya Sha, is there something you need?"
Ya Sha took a deep breath, smiled, and said, "I have to leave."
Li Wei paused for a moment and said, "Are you going to Wa Hu Town?"
"Yes."
Li Wei also smiled and said, "Have a safe trip."
Ya Sha nodded, "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Ya Sha turned and left.
Mars, who was standing next to Yasha, nodded at Levi and followed along.
...
Looking out the window and watching Yasha's car disappear at the corner, Levi suddenly lost interest in exercising.
Yasha, this girl, how should he describe her? He felt she was quite special.
"Mars, such a strong person, personally accompanied her to meet me..." He didn't forget that detail.
But he thought she was special, not just because of her status. Yasha's personal temperament made Levi feel a bit of pity inside.
She seemed to be carrying a weight of tens of thousands of tons, always with a touch of sadness between her eyebrows and eyes.
But Levi could still feel a taste of strength on her body.
Don't misunderstand, he is not interested in young girls of fourteen or fifteen. He just thinks Yasha is a very special girl, that's all.
He didn't know who Yasha really was, nor what kind of stories were hidden within her. At first, he could only be described as somewhat curious about it, but now, he genuinely wished to delve into the depths of it.
But soon, he suppressed this thought back into the depths of his heart.
One must have self-awareness in life, and he knew he couldn't get involved in this matter.
After reflecting for a moment and adjusting his mindset, Li Wei decided to go back and rest for a while.
Just as he was walking downstairs, he suddenly heard a violent explosion.
"This direction... Yasha?"
With a jolt in his heart, Li Wei hurriedly ran outside.
Outside the Four-leaf Clover lobby, a large crowd had already gathered. Everyone was looking towards the south of the branch, where they could see large amounts of black smoke rising.
Judging by the distance, it was probably no more than two kilometers away from the Four-leaf Clover branch.
"We're under attack!"
Mars's voice came from the second-floor escalator area. Looking up, the middle-aged man who was always wearing a gray suit and had a kind face in Levi's impression was now fully armed.
He changed into a silver combat suit, alloy armor blocking several key parts of his body. The blue energy core on his chest provided energy for his combat suit, and several bulging packages hung on the weapon belt around his waist, among which Levi saw two handguns.
These were the "Silver Glint" and the "Heavenly Messenger." These were the origins of Mars's nickname and were two very famous weapons.
With a stern expression, Mars continued, "The convoy that just set out from the branch was attacked by unknown enemies. It is undoubtedly a declaration of war to attack our convoy in the Clover Community! I announce the start of a full-area bounty hunt order! Eliminate all threatening targets! All hunters, go!"
"Yes!" the crowd cheered.
Li Wei looked around and saw that every hunter beside him wore an expression of great excitement on their face.
He understood the excitement of these people, because of the "Full Region Hunting Commission."
This is an extremely rare type of commission, and what it signifies is that all hostile targets within the designated area can be regarded as game. Based on the level of the hunted game, the hunter can directly receive corresponding rewards from the guild that posts the commission, as if they have completed a single mission commission.
Full Region Hunting Commissions are generally posted in places where the Hunter's Guild hopes to massively develop. The mission site is usually outside the city, such as in some location where a meeting point or outpost is planned to be established. If it is necessary for a large number of hunters to go and clear a certain area of demons, then it is possible that such a Full Region Hunting Commission may be posted.
One can imagine how dangerous a place must be for the Hunter's Guild to issue such a commission. Although the rewards are tempting, not many hunters dare to go, and even fewer can survive and claim the generous bounties.
Thus, when Clover Community, the den of hunters, posted an "all-territory hunting commission," all hunters belonging to Clover Community were in an uproar, regarding it as a grand feast.
Obviously, few people have considered the word "failure."
It is indeed so, Clover Guild, one of the top hunter branches in the entire Westrum City, has home-field advantage in its own den, how could they possibly fail?
But Li Wei disagrees.
It seems that the car that was attacked must have been the one Yasha was riding in. How long has her car been driving out of the Clover Branch's front gate? Only five minutes, right? At most, it could have only traveled one or two kilometers, still completely within the territory of the Clover hunters.
Just as Mars announced, this is a war, an unknown force is declaring war on the Clover Branch.
So, who made the move? Dare to make such a big move right next to Clover's stronghold? Do they not have any confidence at all?
Whether victorious or not, Li Wei doesn't know, he hasn't even seen the real enemies with his own eyes yet. But he believes that those who have the courage to do this are definitely not easy to deal with.
However, even though he thought clearly in his heart, he couldn't possibly calm everyone down. He could only watch helplessly as numerous hunters excitedly followed Mars and rushed out of the guild gates.
Li Wei did not follow the crowd out the door; instead, he took a step back and turned to go upstairs.
It's not that he intended to stay out of it - it was also impossible to stay out of it. He just had an instinctive feeling that something was off about this matter and needed to be fully prepared.
Currently, he only had a dagger with him and nothing else.
Upon returning to his room, he changed clothes, pulled out his SN97 police pistol, and holstered it. He counted and found six magazines of secondary armor-piercing rounds, which he placed in the pockets on his thighs, waist, and chest.
With these preparations made, Li Wei's mouth twitched slightly as he began to quietly chant a spell. Soon, the excellent defensive spell "Mage Armor" was cast upon him.
After making these preparations, Li Wei planned to head downstairs. He intended to follow behind the crowd and assess the situation first.
As he approached the door and his hand just touched the doorknob, he suddenly sensed a darkness behind him.
An ominous feeling rose in his heart, and he suddenly turned his head. He saw a dark shadow blocking the light outside the window.
What kind of monster was that!
