The Only Cultivator in a World of Hunters

Naturally, getting information from Willis required paying a price. Willis was not a robber either, so Bell had no choice but to buy something from him.

Don’t look at Willis’s money-starved appearance and assume that he was actually poor. He was the founder of the world’s leading air conditioner manufacturing corporation, Freezer Group. Besides air conditioners, the corporation also manufactured other cooling and freezing devices.

Now that he was old and didn’t need to manage the corporation too much, he came to the front gate of the American Hunter Academy to work as a security guard and enjoy his retirement. Being a security guard here wasn’t dangerous at all because no idiot would dare attack this academy.

After some negotiation, the number of the highest-quality air conditioners ordered reached dozens. Bell obviously couldn’t use that many himself, but the Wolf guild had a huge amount of property, so naturally there was no shortage of places to install air conditioners.

Of course, Willis would not accept empty words. He called an employee to prepare the contract and then had it printed right in the security room.

Retiring did not mean Willis would stop doing business. Taking advantage of his position as a security guard and being able to meet many students, Willis had already gotten quite a few orders from here.

It wasn’t until Bell put down the pen and signed his name that everything was truly finished. Willis revealed a smile full of capitalist spirit.

"Thank you for trusting us. If you need to buy any other products right now, just say so. I guarantee you’ll get an extremely great discount, better than buying from anywhere else."

Even after the contract was signed, Willis still clung on without letting go, making the corner of Bell’s mouth twitch. Sure enough, as long as there was money involved, capitalists wouldn’t mind doing anything.

"Stop talking nonsense. Tell me where Nexus is right now."

Bell wasn’t free enough to buy a bunch of air conditioners just for fun. What he wanted to buy was information, not air conditioners, which he didn’t lack.

"Young people really are too impatient. Is there anything more important than buying air conditioners?"

Willis shook his head. He looked just like a sage teaching young people how to spend money ’smartly’.

Bell’s expression immediately darkened. The money he had just spent wasn’t meant to hire an old man to lecture him with nonsense like this.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I’m really going to hit you. I’m not buying anything else."

"Alright. Earlier, he was also traveling with a platinum-haired brat. Since it’s not enrollment time yet, I only guided them to the small city over there."

Bell looked in the direction Willis’s finger was pointing. Almost immediately, Bell’s eyelids twitched because he knew exactly what city that was.

That city was where the headquarters of Freezer Group was located. A corporation couldn’t possibly cover the entire city, but there were many businesses related to Willis there. Willis was obviously trying to turn Nexus into a potential customer.

"Platinum hair, so that must be Mark. Having such a powerful master really is convenient."

Although he wasn’t one hundred percent certain, Bell immediately thought of Mark as the person traveling with Nexus. Not long ago, he had seen Mark lying in the hospital like a vegetable, yet now Mark was back to normal.

Bell could easily guess Mark’s physical condition because of Willis’s completely unsurprised attitude, as if he were talking about an ordinary young man.

"Thanks, Willis."

"No need to thank me. Whenever you need to buy more essential supplies from Freezer Group, just contact me. Buying in large quantities from me always comes with the best price on the market. Your girlfriend looks rather weak, doesn’t she? So I think you need to buy more things so she can live more comfortably."

Seeing Willis constantly advertising, Bell really wanted to leave immediately, but first he had to correct him. Other things could be misunderstood, but not this.

"Lailah is not my girlfriend."

Bell’s rebuttal came too quickly, making Willis immediately suspicious. He didn’t give Bell any face at all and curled his lips, deliberately provoking him.

"That’s right. She’s not your girlfriend. We’re both men, so I understand you. So you kidnapped a woman in the middle of the night like this because you’re planning to take her to a hotel?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not judging you. I’ve seen plenty of A-rank hunters who really know how to have fun. You’re an S-rank, so it’s not too hard to understand if you want to have a little fun too."

The fact that Lailah was unconscious was obvious to anyone who wasn’t blind. Furthermore, Bell seemed to be quite familiar with Lailah, proving that this wasn’t a situation where he happened to find an unconscious woman and decided to save her.

You understand shit! I’m making a long-term investment. An investment!

Bell’s expression darkened immediately after hearing that. If Lailah heard this disgusting nonsense and misunderstood Bell, it would be a huge loss for him.

Bell suddenly had the feeling that he should have a hurricane blow in and destroy the Freezer Group headquarters.

"Don’t badmouth Bell. He’s a good person. He has helped me a lot."

Lailah suddenly woke up, startling Willis. But now that he could observe the way the two of them looked at each other at the same time, Willis finally realized that something was very strange.

"You damn old man. Be careful, the headquarters of Freezer Group might get blown down by the wind."

Even though Lailah had said that, Bell still gritted his teeth and glared at Willis. He only refrained from fighting Willis because he respected Lailah.

"So scary~"

Willis deliberately dragged out his voice and raised both hands as if he wanted to surrender. But his mocking tone, combined with the sharp eyes of a businessman, showed the exact opposite.

"You’d better be careful too. The air conditioners in the Wolf guild might suddenly get too cold and cause all the hunters to freeze to death."

"Hmph, I’m not wasting any more time with you."

Feeling that arguing with Willis would only make him more annoyed, Bell carried Lailah and disappeared right in front of Willis.

The moment Bell left, Willis suddenly changed his attitude. He frowned and carefully recalled Lailah’s gaze.

"How strange... She is clearly so weak, but why does she give me this feeling?"
