ording to the guild''s investigations, the Low Deal branch of the organization was behind that mountain, and it was a huge vi that was arranged in a vige of poor people, or at least that''s what was believed.


    "From the investigations, it seems that all the people in the vige were killed... Tsk, the city was helping that vige develop properly; it''s unfortunate that they fell into the hands of those bastards without us noticing." Said one of the team leaders.


    They were all sitting by a campfire, spending the night to continue at dawn.


    In the meantime, they were exchanging information they knew.


    Another of the other Hunters nodded.


    "Low Deal is a troublesome organization. I''ve fought them several times before and they are too much trouble."


    "They are characterized by using their victims as undead, trying to turn them into vampires. Although they say they also fight vampires and what they want is to find a way to control them, after all, for all those tests, they need to murder countless humans, so they are unforgivable as an organization."


    "I don''t understand how the leaders let them continue to exist." In the end, the hunter who spoke sighed helplessly.


    Between them, a member of the other group frowned and looked at him, "Are youining about the leadership of our leaders? That''s an insult, Ray Jowler. They are the ones who have led the race to where they can catch up in strength with the vampire race; how could you me them? These Low Deal bastards are to me." He retorted fiercely.


    As a person who aspired to be a Hero, he was naturally going to defend the empire''s leaders.


    But the other hunter wasn''t nning on that, so he just sneered and didn''t respond further to avoid a fight.


    On the ground, perhaps only the Vampire Hunters Guild is fighting against Low Deal; despite the Empire knowing about the existence and practices of that organization, no one besides the Guild stood up to confront them.


    To this hunter, that was absurd. There is no way the Empire is busy fighting the Vampire Kingdoms becausetely, the Kingdoms do nothing but watch from the side.


    That''s why he was convinced that the leaders could do something if they wanted to.


    And Matt agreed with him, not because he thought they should do anything but because he knew humanity''s mindset so well.


    Matt smiled, "Hunter Ray is right not to understand what the leaders are doing. They are letting Low Deal exist because it suits them; Low Deal is like a hidden arm they have, which they use to maintain chaos within the empire and keep the rest of the things they do on the sly from being seen. The leaders are cunning, and they''re not as clean-minded as you think they are."


    When Matt said that, the hunter who had replied to Ray Jowler rose fiercely.


    "How dare you say something like that? Our leaders are respectable and powerful people; why would they let scum like Low Deal go free!?" The loud shout caused Matt to scowl.


    "Heh, if you defend them so much, why don''t you give me a viable reason why they haven''t sent one of their leaders to destroy an organization that is dedicated to exterminating their own race?" Although Matt didn''t care about this in the least, as he was bored and wanted to sow discord in the group, doing this was good for him.


    The man, who was angry and practically yelling, let out a snort. "Hmph, if it''s not the damn vampire race''s fault, whose else would it be? Those bastards are powerful, and it''s very likely that in therge border, we share with them, they''ll create trouble for them again and again; naturally, it would beplicated to do something against Low Deal then."


    ''Oh, it seems that the human race is more ignorant than I thought. They are not even aware that most of the attacks that are made between humans and vampires are sponsored by humans.'' Matt thought and sighed.


    "Wanting to me someone else for your irresponsibility and idiocies has beenmon in the human race forever, so there''s nothing I can tell you to convince you. That''s just how idiotic the human race is." After saying this, Matt went back to rxing where he was.


    This hunter frowned and took a deep breath. "Shit, are you insulting me? And you even dare to insult your own race; it seems you don''t understand Vampire Hunters'' etiquette!" Replied the hunter. Angry, he summoned his spear and aimed it at Matt''s neck.


    "You don''t sound very smart, Hunter. But since you say the human race is like that, why don''t we have a duel? A fight between you and me to confront both points of view. If you win, I''ll apologize and agree with you, and I''ll give up my share of the rewards for this mission. But if I win...


    The same will apply to you, and you will have to kneel to apologize to the human race." Although his words were quite far-fetched, and he was challenging a new A-Rank Hunter, his teammates and the other team said nothing.


    It was not in their best interest to get into this trouble.


    Matt frowned after seeing himself targeted by a spear so close to his neck. He looked up and red at this hunter.


    "Take your spear off my neck unless you want your head to roll on the ground." Matt spoke fiercely and didn''t keep his threat to himself.


    The fact that a human being was aiming for his neck again made his hatred bubble up like volcanicva.


    The hunter scowled and sneered. "Heh, you''re just trash." He retorted and, without hesitation, moved his spear a little more towards Matt, wanting to leave a warning on his neck.


    But just then, Matt''s eyes shed with ferocity, and his body flickered, moving at great speed towards the hunter.


    The movement was so sudden that no one expected it, and the next thing that happened was an explosion as the hunter''s body was mmed to the ground in front of Matt''s hand.


    "You''re just human scum; who do you think you are to point a weapon at me?" The anger in Matt''s voice was so palpable that it even scared those standing to the side.
