Chapter 22: Chapter 22

For Ms. Thia's welcome, Loren gave a slight nod.

When she saw Loren returning with a serious expression, Ms. Thia felt somewhat desperate.

If even Mr. Loren couldn't bring back her husband, then she had no other options left.

However, she hid her negative emotions quite well.

Only half a day had passed, there was still hope for everything, Ms. Thia comforted herself in her heart.

Loren entered the agency and sat back down behind his desk.

Only then did Ms. Thia anxiously ask:

"Mr. Loren, how did it go?"

Looking at the not-so-calm Ms. Thia, Loren spoke comfortingly with great consideration:

"The good news is, the Wild Dog Gang has been dealt with by me, and I've found clues about your husband Evan."

"Of course, there's also bad news."

"Your husband, due to circumstances of luck, has gotten involved in a massive trouble."

Loren paused here, organizing his words before continuing:

"A trouble big enough to sweep through the entire Dusk Star Domain."

Ms. Thia's expression turned somewhat grim.

She didn't quite understand - she and Evan were just an ordinary couple from the slums, how could they get involved in such major trouble?

Why was fate being so harsh to them as a couple?

Seeing that Ms. Thia didn't lose emotional control, didn't make a scene, but was just somewhat saddened, Loren nodded with satisfaction.

Then, Loren began telling his client about what happened this morning and shared his speculations.

Loren told her everything in meticulous detail, leaving nothing out.

Informing his client about the progress of the commission and comforting their emotions - this was a basic requirement for an interstellar hunter.

Loren executed this requirement perfectly.

He loved this profession, just as he loved the decaying, stale air of the crime-ridden streets.

As for Ms. Thia, when she heard it involved the Federation Energy Department, despair showed on her face again.

In her heart, she couldn't help but ask herself that question.

Could the "payment" she offered really make Mr. Loren continue investigating further?!

In essence, she had given almost nothing, and even gained a supernatural weapon for free.

Seeing Ms. Thia's silence, Loren seemed to know what she was thinking.

Loren spoke comfortingly again with profound meaning:

"Don't underestimate yourself, madam."

"You've already proven that you have talent."

"Your value lies in the future."

"Use that revolver to your heart's content."

"That is the best payment you can give me."

After hearing Loren's words, Ms. Thia bowed deeply to him.

"Mr. Loren, I will always remember your help."

"I swear that as long as my life hasn't ended, I will definitely use that revolver with all my heart."

Loren didn't speak, but instead took a coin from his pocket and tossed it into the air.

He snapped his fingers, silently chanting "Fortune" in his heart.

The coin landed, heads up!

Loren put the coin back in his pocket with satisfaction.

"Ms. Thia, there's no need for that."

"This is a fair transaction."

"You'll understand in time."

"Fate's gifts often come with hefty price tags hidden in the shadows."

Loren looked at the pink revolver holstered at Ms. Thia's waist and spoke calmly.

Ms. Thia stood up, her tone complex.

"Respected Mr. Loren, for someone like me who has nothing, you are the only one willing to extend a helping hand."

Loren raised his hand, interrupting her thanks.

After signaling for her to sit down, Loren asked with great anticipation:

"That revolver - you should have figured out how to use it by now, right?"

Ms. Thia nodded, indicating that she had familiarized herself with the revolver's usage during the morning.

"After we finish our discussion, I need you to go to the Hunter Association and become an interstellar hunter."

"I'll write you a recommendation letter to qualify you for the assessment."

"After passing the assessment."

"You need to stay at the Interstellar Hunter Association and learn there how to become an interstellar hunter - this will help your future path."

"The agency here won't be too safe anymore, the Hunter Association is temporarily safe for you."

"If your husband hasn't died yet, after I rescue your husband."

"I'll have him meet you at the Interstellar Hunter Association."

"Then, for your safety, you need to leave the Dusk Star Domain."

"Go wherever you want, just don't stay in the Dusk Star Domain."

After hearing Loren's arrangements, Ms. Thia raised her question:

"Even with your recommendation letter, Mr. Loren, can I pass the interstellar hunter assessment?"

"As long as you sufficiently trust the revolver at your waist, passing the assessment won't be difficult for you. The combat power it can give you is not inferior to a first-tier supernatural being."

"Alright, I understand, Mr. Loren." Ms. Thia nodded.

Loren took paper and pen from his desk drawer and began writing the recommendation letter.

The recommendation letter had only one sentence:

"This lady has the talent to become an interstellar hunter. — Las Loren."

After writing it, Loren sealed the letter and handed it to Ms. Thia.

"Go now, good luck, resilient lady."

After receiving the letter, Ms. Thia bowed deeply to Loren again.

Taking a deep breath, Ms. Thia gripped the recommendation letter in her hand and turned to leave.

When she reached the agency's main door, Ms. Thia turned back with complex emotions in her eyes to look at Loren.

"Mr. Loren, if my husband has died, what should I do?"

Loren remained silent, thought for a moment, then spoke calmly:

"Then, only revenge remains for the rest of your life."

Ms. Thia nodded calmly, pushed open the shabby door of Raven Agency, and disappeared from Loren's sight.

Inside Raven Agency, only Loren remained, along with the raven on his shoulder.

Loren closed his eyes and thought for a while, confirming that his arrangements had no omissions.

After sensing that Ms. Thia had already left the Gray Zone.

Loren opened his eyes, raised his left hand, and gently snapped his fingers.

This time when the psychic ability activated, Fortune wasn't applied to Loren himself.

Instead, using the revolver at Ms. Thia's waist as a medium, this Fortune was applied to Ms. Thia herself.

Ensuring she could safely reach the Interstellar Hunter Association in the Upper District.

"Next, it's time for my advancement." Loren muttered to himself.

He took out the box filled with spirit stones that he brought back from the interstellar hunter and placed it on the desk.

Opening the box, the blue glow emanating from the spirit stones illuminated the somewhat dim Raven Agency.

The raven on Loren's shoulder couldn't wait to jump down from his shoulder either.

It came before the box, opened its small eyes, and looked back at Loren. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novelFirｅ.net

"Eat." Loren softly spoke two words.

The little creature, having received permission, opened its beak toward the box......
