Jasonâs body was covered with a white cloth and placed in the middle of the house.
Barong gathered with many hunters. The village chief, Griff, and the others were listening from the side. There were even villagers surrounding the house, whispering to each other in shock.
After the hunters finished explaining, the room fell silent, leaving only the crackling of the fireplace.
â⊠Thatâs the lordâs version of events, and what we saw. By the time we arrived, heâd already killed the lordâs guards and was seriously injured on the verge of death. We still donât know why Jason did such a thing.â
Weiss sounded confused.
This was also what puzzled all the hunters.
Barong was heartbroken over Jasonâs death. Hearing this, he immediately thought of something. His face trembled as he said in a deep voice, âTwo days ago, Jason and I bumped into a shady deal. The grain collection team came to the village, but there was a person inside who was the manager of the potion shop. He had asked our village doctor to smuggle the potions back to White Plains Town and replace the stock of the potion shop with inferior potions⊠We captured these two people, and I asked Jason to bring them to the town and expose them to the lordâŠâ
Everyone was stunned when they heard this piece of news.
âCould it beâŠâ Weissâs eyes narrowed.

Pang!!
Barong pounded the table, anger on his face. âJasonâs death must have something to do with this!â
When he discovered that the potion was corrupt, his first reaction was to find the lord to expose it. He felt that only the lord could investigate this matter thoroughly and clean up the entire apothecary to ensure that the hunter potions supplied in the future would not be defective.
But he had not expected to send Jason into the fire pit!
Although he did not understand the deeper story behind the lordâs actions, he was certain that the lord was definitely involved in this!
Weiss, Weber, as well as the other huntersâ faces, darkened.
This was also the first time they had heard of this matter. The potions that were usually bought at high prices were actually mixed with inferior products. Although most people had never encountered such an issue before, there were indeed some people who occasionally encountered situations where the effects of the potions were very poor. They originally thought that it was a normal fluctuation in quality, but they did not expect it to be a corruption scheme.
Everyone could not help but be furious.
âSo, you think the lord tried to silence him? thatâs why Jason slaughtered everything up to the Lordâs house?â Weiss frowned.
âI canât think of any other possibility.â Barongâs tone was grim. âI know Jason well. He wouldnât attack the lord for no reason.â
Weber rubbed his chin and said in a low voice, âSo, when the lord explained that this was a private operation by his guards⊠Perhaps it was just an excuse to make a fussâŠâ
The group exchanged information and deduced the entire reason. Although they lacked a portion of the information, they roughly understood the cause and effect.
After understanding the situation, the trust of many hunters towards Lutt fell to rock bottom.
âI didnât expect Lutt to be such a person. To think that I used to think that he was a good lordâŠâ
âThese people in power are really dirty.â
Everyone had different expressions, but one thing in common was that they were furious.
If it wasnât for their desire to protect the ordinary people, they wouldnât listen to their lord.
But now, the lord dared to deal with one of them without any regard for his identity as a Mutant Beast Hunter.
Mutant Beast Hunters were originally the most respected group, but their lord dared to risk the worldâs condemnation and wanted to silence the hunters⊠If Lutt could attack Jason today, he could attack them tomorrow.
âWe canât let this go!â Barong slammed his hand on the table. âLutt has to pay for Jasonâs death!â
âBut what should we do? We canât possibly follow Jasonâs example and kill the lord, right? The empire has laws. What will it look like if a group of Mutant Beast Hunters suddenly teamed up to kill the town lord? What would the others think?â Someone could not help but interrupt.
They were angry at what had happened to Jason, but it was one thing to be willing to stand up for Jason. If they took the extreme route and killed the lord, they would also be wanted. There might be another way to resolve this.
Weber rubbed his knuckles and pondered for a moment before speaking.
âThereâs no need to confront the lord. He wonât admit it, but itâs not appropriate for us to take revenge for Jason directly⊠Perhaps we should expose the matter of the lord to the empire, expose the problem of the apothecary, and make a big deal out of it. Let the Empire investigate thoroughly and figure out all the inside information, so they will appoint a new lord.
â⊠Will this work?â
Weiss was skeptical.
Although the Mutant Beast Hunters were highly valued by the Terra Empire, he didnât know if the Empire would change the lord of an area because of a huntersâ report.
Weber spoke slowly,
âLetâs give it a try first⊠In short, if the lord doesnât change, I will definitely leave. I wonât work under such a person. Although Iâm willing to eliminate the threat of the Mutant Beasts for White Plains Town, I donât want to be attacked by the lordâs people one day and die without knowing why.â
âExactly.â âSo will I.â
Many of the hunters agreed.
Even if they had to start over somewhere else, many hunters did not want to continue operating near White Plains Town anymore.
âMust we use such a roundabout method? I just want to kill Lutt with my ax!â Barong gave off a fierce expression.
âI want to do so too⊠but weâre Mutant Beast Hunters, and we donât just represent ourselves. The impact of killing the lord is too great. Jasonâs actions were too extreme in a wayâitâs really⊠Anyway, when thereâs another way, donât wield a weapon directly at them. Our blade is facing the mutant beast, not humans.â
Weber tensed his facial muscles and pursed his lips as he spoke.
The veins on Barongâs bald head bulged. He did not like this method since he felt that it was difficult to vent the anger in his heart.
