Chapter 13: Chapter 13 Hunter License is Convenient
In order to make Wright stay and spar with him for ten days, Moses casually added two more requests. In his opinion, no normal person would agree so readily, and he was prepared for the subsequent negotiations.
However, he didn't expect Wright to agree without any hesitation.
"…"
Moses remained silent.
He never believed that good things would just fall from the sky. Seeing Wright agree so readily, Moses's immediate thought was that… 'Wright might have ulterior motives.'
"Are you sure you want to trade the achievement of capturing a wanted criminal worth a 20 million Jenny bounty for these three requests?"
Moses calmly reiterated the terms of the deal.
"Of course."
Wright nodded and took out a phone from his pocket, then said seriously, "Let's fulfill the first request. Give me your bank account, and I will transfer 30 million Jenny to you immediately."
"I don't have a bank account."
Having spent most of his life in the temple, Moses obviously doesn't have a bank account.
Seeing that Moses doesn't have a bank account, Wright suggested, "How about an ID card? I'll take a photo, and I can arrange a bank account for you within five minutes."
Whether it's real-time large-sum fund transfers or quickly opening a bank account late at night, as long as you have a Hunter License, it's not a problem.
This is also one of the reasons why most Amateur Hunters want to get a Hunter License… It's just too convenient.
"ID card?"
Moses recalled that his cheap old man probably never got him one, so he shook his head, "I don't have that either."
"This…"
Wright hesitated for a moment, he didn't ask for the reason, but instead making another suggestion:
"Then cash or gold. But we have to wait until daylight to arrange it. If you're okay with that, I'll start preparing right away."
"Okay."
Moses agreed.
30 million Jenny, when converted to Moses's previous world's currency, roughly equivalent to the purchasing power of nearly $250,000 in the 2000s.
However, compared to the 30 million Jenny, what Moses wants more is to improve his strength in a short period.
It's a simple truth…
In the world of Hunters, if you have strength, you don't have to worry about money.
For instance, for someone like Wright, as long as he successfully capture a wanted criminal, he can earn tens or even hundreds of millions. If the strength allows, they can also hunt wanted criminals with bounties exceeding a billion.
It's worth mentioning the claimed bounties must be taxed.
Wright didn't mention this to make sure Moses remembers his kindness after learning about it later. It's a small plot on Wright's part.
After confirming that Moses chose gold, as it's easier to store, Wright made a call. Using his status as a Pro Hunter, he easily solved the issue in a few words.
"All right, next is the matter about the body outside," Wright put away his phone, glanced at the courtyard, and smiled, "Leave it to me. I assure you there won't be a trace left."
Seeing Wright's thoroughness, Moses couldn't help but ask, "Just for the achievement of a criminal with a 20 million Jenny bounty, would you really go this far?"
"Indeed, but sometimes it depends on the situation,"
Wright nodded, but he naturally couldn't reveal his true thoughts. With a calm tone, he explained, "Right now, I'm on the verge of advancing to Single-Star rank. I'm just a step away, so my demand for achievements is very high. That's why I'm willing to pay this price. By the way, do you know what I mean by Single-Star rank?"
"It's the title for a Single-Star Hunter, isn't it?"
"Yes."
"I see. No wonder you're so generous," Moses remarked with a sudden realization.
Wright chuckled, pointed his thumb towards the courtyard, and said, "I'll handle the body outside first. A specialist will come later to take over."
"Okay," Moses nodded.
Wright turned around and walked towards the door, thinking in his heart, 'From our first interaction until now, he's shown remarkable prudence and insight, quite uncharacteristic for his apparent young age. Come to think of it… I've met another similar youngster before. Comparing them, Moses seems a bit more outstanding.'
'But, in the end, he's just a kid. So easy to deceive.'
After successfully concealing his true intentions in front of Moses by mentioning the pursuit of the title of a Single-Star Hunter, Wright felt an inexplicable sense of joy.
He walked out of the room, heading straight for Ian's body.
Little did Wright notice that behind him, Moses was drooping his eyelids, and he didn't realize…
'What a joke.'
Moses shook his head imperceptibly, thinking to himself.
In the face of the three requests Moses proposed, Wright's persuasive power when he said he urgently needs 'achievements', was obviously lacking.
Moreover, if he was indeed in a hurry for achievements, he wouldn't possibly agree to Moses's ten-day sparring request. A more reasonable response would have been to agree to "owe a favor" and increase the amount of Jenny exchanged for 'achievements'.
'Although I don't know what you want from me… considering the current situation, I can get more out of it.'
Moses thought to himself, keeping his head down.
Taking advantage of Wright's absence to clean up the courtyard, Moses discreetly makes his shadow return, restoring it to its normal state. When it comes to Nen abilities… it's best to keep them hidden.
"Moses…"
Monica's voice came from the bed.
Under the faint light projected from the window, Moses glanced at Monica and then walked to the wall, turning on the light switch.
With the wall lamp lighting up, the soft light filled the room again.
"It's all okay now."
Moses withdrew his hand, looked at Monica, and said, "You heard what Wright just said. When the specialist comes to handle the body, you can go down the mountain with them."
"Okay,"
Monica nodded without any hesitation.
Moses redirected his gaze, bent down to pick up the pencil and the small knife that fell on the ground, put them back on the table, and then softly reminded, "Before you leave, Wright will probably come to chat with you. You're a smart person… you know what to do."
During this transaction of 'achievements', Monica observed from the sidelines.
However, Wright didn't pay attention to Monica's presence from start to finish, so he must have a way to make Monica keep the secret obediently.
"Yes, I know what to do,"
Monica had no reason to provoke a Pro Hunter. She looked at Moses, hesitated for a moment, and then gathered the courage to say, "Moses, can I come back here in the future?"
"As long as it's within the temple's visiting hours, it's no problem,"
After saying this, Moses turned and left.
Just now, Wright guaranteed that there would be no traces left after handling the bodies. This made Moses quite curious, and maybe he could learn something by watching from the side.
Monica silently watched Moses's back as he left.
