Chapter 167 - Naive?

"T-Then Hunter Cinco will you help us," 

Matsumoto said as he stuttered a little upon seeing what he just witnessed. 

"I have some conditions first," 

Ryuu said, which caused Matsumoto to become serious again.

"Because of your little scheme. I will take 50% of the Final Amount and Tawata Kanae will join my guild after this Raid." 

Ryuu's words caused the Room to become quiet. It is quite a large amount of money when raiding an S Rank and the quantity of mana crystal mine would be extremely cast in addition to the monster corpse collected from the raid.

"Are you joking with us 50% and you want our S-Rank hunter do you think we are fools," 

Matsumoto shouted, feeling cheated from the offer. 

"That is because you wasted my time in your schemes so you will have to pay for it."

Ryuu's cold voice signified that there was no room for negotiations here. Matsumoto shook his head as he thought that Ryuu was Naïve.

"S-Rank Hunter Ryuu Cinco is not cooperating because he wants more compensation even after he was offered 30%. What do you think the public is going to say about this Hunter Ryuu?" 

He pulled this card as it will destroy Ryuu's public image and drag it through the mud. With this, he can lower the compensation as well.

This caused everyone in the room to frown but Ryuu wasn't affected.

Ryuu then pulled out his phone and tapped on it a few times and a sound rang out in the room. Goto and Matsumoto's voices were heard in the room.

-What do you think? Is the plan going to work?

-No sir, he changed the whole plan. We won't be able to trap the Korean hunter in the ant cave anymore.

-Is there no way around it?

-No sir, our plan isn't going to work as long as he is there.

The recording played out about the plan of killing the Korean S-rankers On Jeju island.

"So what do you think the people are going to say after these recordings are known?" 

Both Goto and Matsumoto turned pale as they heard this and Gun-hee was angered beyond belief as he heard this.

"This is fake, people aren't going to believe this." 

Matsumoto said as he tried to calm himself down. He thought as long as the documents are safe he won't be in any danger. 

"Is that so how about this then?" 

Ryuu laughed as he took some documents from his bag and showed them to them and Matsumoto's soul left his body when he saw this and Goto was sweating and his calm expression was thrown out of the window.

"Well, what do you have to say about this?" 

Gun-hee said as his aura leaked out of his body because his anger went through the roof. Matsumoto didn't say anything as he was scared shitless at the moment.

"Well it's whether you accept my deal or this gets released tomorrow. It's your choice."

He said while looking at them.

"We…. Accept." 

Matsumoto caved under the pressure and 

accepted the deal because if this got out no one will help them with the S-rank gate.

"It's good that you are a sensible person." 

Ryuu said with mockery clear in his voice as he stood up and went towards the door then turned around and said.

"There won't be a next time if you try to do something and tell that pig as well I will really butcher him like one next time." 

And then went away with Tawata following him. After that Gun-hee stood up and moved out of the room he was relieved that there were no damages done to Korea because of this scheme.

Ryuu and Tawata walk side by side as they arrive outside. It was an awkward silence between the two until he decided to ask something.

"So you are going to stay here for the time being and return with me?"

He asked Kanae as they stepped out of the Association building.

"Yes, so take care of me till then."

She said as she walked beside him. He smirked at her words and said.

"Well, this raid is going to be exciting so we will be going in 3 days. So did you book a room in a hotel?"

"No, I'll do it now." 

She said as she was about to call the

association but he stopped her.

"Live with me then I have an empty room in my house."

She looked at him and smirked while saying.

"You are inviting me to live with you, what about your woman going 

to think?"

"They're the one who told me to invite you since they do like to be around someone who is fellow japanese. Not to mention I told them I'm interested in you"

He answered her which left her a bit stunned then blush and tried to punch him but Ryuu caught it.

"Bastard, do you think I am an easy woman to flirt with?"

"Your blush tells otherwise."

He teased her while Tawata became flustered before his arms held her waist. 

"I don't take random women, the first time I met you I can see that you're strong and defendable but want something that you know is impossible as you are now."

Ryuu words were true as Tawata wanted one thing and that is to have someone to start a family with. Being a hunter made it impossible as the risk of dying is high and she can't find someone who is willing to love for who she is. Her body is off putting to some people but Ryuu loves her even more.

"Dammit, alright fine but we should date first since I hardly know you."

"Fair enough. Well, since you're going to be my guild member anyway there's things you need to know."

Tawata then was taken aback when they appeared in different places and looked at Ryuu for answers who use [ Hypnosis] to quicken the explanation.

She disturbs the information and learns about the dimension along with the status system that she gains by looking at the panel screen hovering before her. 

"That's why your guild is so powerful!? Doesn't that mean I can also level up and grow stronger?"

Tawata realizes that any guild is no match when they can help grow hunters from the ground up. This breaks the balance of the hunter guild because of the system and was lucky that Ryuu isn't one aiming for fame or money. 

"That's right, we'll also unlock your Aura and magic later. But that can wait, let's go meet with the others."

She nodded following Ryuu to find a large lake and villa that she sensed a lot of people. They arrive to find two people, one that she recognizes as Rias Gremory while the other feels familiar. Tawata watches as they create orbs made of energy and shoot into the lake where the unknown young girl attacks and causes a massive explosion that disintegrates the lake. 

"Holy hell!? Is that girl an S Rank hunter as well!!?"

Tawata couldn't help but exclaim in shock while Ryuu chuckled as they got closer where the young girls spotted them and quickly ran to hug him and introduce Tawata to the girls. The others also arrived where they looked at Tawata giving a nod.  

"Welcome to our guild that is more like Ryuu's harem if anything."

Justine said, shaking Tawata's hands seeing some sort of camaraderie to her since both had quite the toned body. 

'Does that mean he doesn't mind my muscles?' 

She thought to herself happy to feel included in their guild compared to her old ones. They all went inside the mansion where the girls chatted with Tawata while Ryuu felt left out and began to cook instead but then found someone waiting for him. 

"Ryuu, can I talk to you for a moment in my room?"

Cha Hae-in had already decided to move in to Ryuu and was told the truth about their situation giving her the final dilemma where she still remains with them because of how she feels about Ryuu. 

Ryuu looked at her and noticed something and understood what she wanted. It was clear in her eyes that she finally came to a decision to solidify their relationship despite having only a few months of getting to know each other. 

He made sure to strengthen their bonds in the future when he gets the chances for now. Ryuu went with Cha Hae-in to her room leaving the girls who understood what's going on.
