Mo Fan had already gone inside the building. He could not care less about the conversation between Anzark and the middle-aged man.

“The Lu Clan is in charge of receiving the guests on behalf of the client,” Lingling told him quietly.

A buffet was already set up in the hall. It mainly consisted of some tea-time snacks, but there were main meals being served, too. A few chefs in gray outfits were bringing out plates of hot delicacies.

“The Lu Clan is doing a great job so far.” Mo Fan turned around and looked at Anzark’s clothes after he saw the chefs’ gray outfits.

Lingling looked around the hall and told Mo Fan softly, “The people from other Hunter Agencies are all here.”

The middle-aged man and Lu Qingyao came into the hall a little later. He told Lu Qingyao to entertain Mo Fan to resolve the awkward atmosphere between them.

Lu Qingyao reacted with a cold and unwilling expression.

“Enough with your Miss High and Mighty act. You should know that even your father has to treat these guests with utter respect!” the middle-aged man stated.

“Him too? Humph!” Lu Qingyao finally put away her professional face.

The Lu Clan had already had a conflict with Mo Fan in the past. It had started between Mo Fan and Lu Yilin, but they ended up losing Lu Zhantian, who had been an Enforcer of the Beiyu Enforcement Union.

In Lu Qingyao’s opinion, Mo Fan should be tucking his tail between his legs in their territory, but he was still being arrogant!

“The past is the past, I don’t want anyone to mention a word about it again,” the middle-aged man warned her.

“He was your nephew. The murderer is right in front of you, but you are being so polite to him!” Lu Qingyao snarled.

PA!?The middle-aged man slapped Lu Qingyao on the face without any mercy.

He did go easy on Lu Qingyao, but her face went entirely red because of the slap.

“What else can you young people do, except for cause me trouble?! A Councilman was almost involved because of that little farce! Do you have any idea how much damage our clan suffered from it? If you dare stir up any trouble again this time, I won’t show any mercy again!

“Humph, I, Lu Kun, have done everything I could to establish our clan and provide you all with the best resources and connections that other people could never earn for the rest of their lives, but not only did you fail to earn a spot on the national team, none of you have ever done anything impressive so far!” Lu Kun hissed with burning eyes.

Lu Qingyao was so terrified that she was struggling to stand properly.

She had only mentioned the incident related to Lu Yilin and Lu Zhantian because she felt she was mistreated. She did not expect Lu Kun to be so angry!

Lu Qingyao lowered her head and apologized, “I’m sorry.”

“Go take care of him. If I see the slightest hesitation in you, don’t ever come back here,” Lu Kun warned her.

Lu Qingyao knew Lu Kun meant he would arrange for her to marry a wealthy man in Africa if she dared disobey his words. She did not want to live in Africa, even if the man was crazily rich!

Mo Fan was surprised to stumble into someone he was familiar with in a place like this.

He was not referring to Lu Qingyao or Lu Zhengxin, but a beautiful Japanese woman he knew, Mochizuki Chihaya. She was wearing a black dress and incarnadine stockings, but her outfit did not alter her gentle temperament.

“I didn’t expect us to meet here,” Mochizuki Chihaya smiled. She was a lot more sincere toward Mo Fan than the others.

“Did you come with your grandfather? Since when did you become a Hunter?” Mo Fan glanced at the old man with perfectly-combed hair.

Mochizuki Chihaya and Mochizuki Ken!

Mochizuki Ken was reminiscing with a few other Senior Hunters. He lifted his glass at Mo Fan, signaling he would be there in a moment.

“The Moonhunter Agency is a property of the Mochizuki Clan. My grandfather was the one they invited, but he said I should visit other countries more often, so I decided to come with him,” Mochizuki Chihaya replied simply.

“That old man is a Senior Hunter too?” Mo Fan asked.

“Yeah, a Third-Generation Senior Hunter.”

“Third-Generation Senior Hunter?” Mo Fan scratched his head. He had no idea what that meant.

Lingling, as expected of a moving encyclopedia, explained, “The grading of Senior Hunters happens every ten years. The first Senior Hunters are referred to as the first generation.”

“I see. So how many generations are there?” Mo Fan asked.

“The latest batch was the Seventh Generation. The Hunter Competition you missed out on recently was the preliminary to select candidates for the title of the next Senior Hunters. The tournament to compete for the title of Senior Hunter is normally held four years after the Hunter Competition. Every Seven Star Hunter can sign up for it,” Lingling told him.

“They will be choosing the Eighth-Generation Senior Hunters. It’s my goal to become one,” Mochizuki Chihaya stated.

“Likewise!” Lingling agreed.

“Wait, what?” Mo Fan failed to react in time. Since when did he say he was competing for the title?

Lingling took out her phone and showed Mo Fan a selfie when she saw his confused look.

Mo Fan was stunned.

She really took the selfie and saved it!

His reputation would be ruined if someone saw the photo. His whole life would be done for!

“Right, we are participating in the tournament too. I’ve been too busy lately, so I only learned about the tournament now,” Mo Fan laughed awkwardly.

“Every country with a branch of the Hunter Union only has two slots,” Mochizuki Chihaya said.

“Only two?” Mo Fan was shocked.

“Do you think Senior Hunters are that common?” Lingling rolled her eyes.

The title of Senior Hunter came with utmost glory, since the selection only took place every ten years. Those who did not participate in the selection but were granted the title of Senior Hunter had been given it because they had accomplished certain jobs that were deemed impossible!

“Does that mean your father was very impressive?” Mo Fan asked her.

Lingling was too lazy to answer the question. China only gained two new Senior Hunters every ten years!

“Your father was a Senior Hunter?” Mochizuki Chihaya asked in surprise. She even countered with her fingers adorably, “Could it be Senior Hunter Leng or Senior Hunter Xiao in the Seventh Generation?”

Mo Fan knew Senior Hunter Xiao, the guy with a huge blue-copper beast who had almost died during Operation Guillotine in the Ancient Capital. His assistant Yao Nan had left Mo Fan with a strong impression.

It had been a long time since Mo Fan had seen Senior Hunter Xiao. He wondered how strong the Senior Hunter had become. Old Bao mentioned he had stumbled into Senior Hunter Xiao once. The guy had trained hard after the Calamity of the Ancient Capital and had grown a lot stronger.

Senior Hunter Xiao was very young. In other words, he was chosen as a Senior Hunter in China during the previous generation.

As for Senior Hunter Leng....
