What is a real man?

A real man was clearly injured, yet he didn't show it. Not only did he not need someone to take care of him, he even needed to take care of them. This was a real man.

For example, Xu Taiping.

He found food for her and also cleaned up the blood clot on her body. It was only after he had done this that Xu Taiping finally could not hold on any longer and returned to the cabin to rest. On the way back, he spat out a mouthful of blood because he was unable to suppress the injuries on his body.

Everyone could see all of this happen. In their eyes, Xu Taiping's figure had suddenly become extremely tall, and the reverence they felt for him was like an unending river that flowed out endlessly.

At this moment, in a certain cabin.

"Damn, forcing myself to spit out a mouthful of blood is really a bit difficult!" Xu Taiping wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth and sat on the bed. He spat it out in anger. He wasn't injured at all, he was just trying to make people think he was hurt.

The purpose of this was very simple. Firstly, you could find a reason to let Vanessa go, since he was injured, and if Vanessa wanted to go, he could not stop her, and secondly, you could add fuel to the fire for his efforts. In other words, the more perfect you are in anything you do, the smaller your contribution will be.

Xu Taiping knew the logic behind this, so he deliberately made himself spit out a mouthful of blood. This mouthful of blood was destined to travel through various mouths to the higher-ups of the Hunter Association.

"What a talent I am!" Xu Taiping couldn't help but sigh. He then took out his phone and sent a message to Vanessa.

Vanessa replied quickly, simply that they were on their way back to the New World.

Xu Taiping warned Vanessa to be careful, then threw his phone to the side and laid on the bed, thinking about what he should do next.

A few hours later, someone knocked on the cabin door.

Xu Taiping walked to the door and opened it. He found quite a few people standing outside, led by the SSS Class Hunter Lu Island.

"Flowerthorn, the boat is about to reach the shore. We have contacted the Hunter Association. They hope to invite you to the headquarters of the Association to pay tribute to your contributions to the Association!" Deer Island said.

"The headquarters of the association?" Xu Taiping raised an eyebrow. He had never been to the Hunter Association's headquarters before.

"Yes, the association has arranged for a private jet to wait at the airport in the nearby city." Deer Island said.

"Alright!" Xu Taiping nodded. He also wanted to go to the Hunter Association and take a look at the higher-ups. He wanted to ask them why they chose to stay out of this world.

To put it nicely, it was above and beyond things, and to put it harshly, it was like a turtle hiding its head. In this chaotic age, any act, any act, any act, would all be considered a turtle hiding its head in Xu Taiping's eyes.

When a husband is born, shouldn't he do something to become a nation and a people?

The boat finally docked at the dock.

Xu Taiping and Lu Dao? As for the rest of the people on the cruise ship, they were not qualified to go with Xu Taiping and the rest to the Hunter Association's headquarters. These people would be investigated together to confirm that there was no spy with the highest life among them, and as for Iron Bone and the Miracle Warrior, they had long been scared out of their wits by Xu Taiping. At the moment, Xu Taiping did not care about anything and directly left, which was already very rare for them.

Xu Taiping and Lu Dao first took a taxi to a nearby airport, then flew to Europe on a small plane.

The headquarters of the Hunter Association was on the continent of Europe.

The small plane easily flew through the air of each country before finally stopping above a lush forest.

The plane turned the engine and slowly descended from the sky. As it descended, the forest below automatically shifted to the left and right, revealing a huge entrance.

The plane landed on the tarmac at the entrance and sank down. As the plane descended, the trees moved again and the entrance was blocked by the dense forest in the blink of an eye.

"It's pretty high-tech!" Xu Taiping said.

"This is the headquarters that was opened 30 years ago. Only hunters of the [S] class or higher are qualified to know his location, but if you want to enter, you have to apply in advance. Only hunters of the [S] class or [Z] class are allowed to enter the headquarters!" Deer Island said.

Xu Taiping nodded. The headquarters of the Hunter Association had always been a mysterious place, so very few people knew where it was. Xu Taiping didn't know it before, but now that he was here, he realized it was hidden underground.

The lights went on around the plane.

Xu Taiping and Deer Island got off the plane together.

At this moment, Xu Taiping was on the same platform as the plane. The platform was rapidly descending, and only stopped after descending about 100 meters.

A door appeared in front of Xu Taiping.

Deer Island walked up to the front door and placed his hand on one of the touchscreens.

The door was opened.

What appeared before Xu Taiping was a very long passageway made of metal. It was entirely silver, giving off a very high-end feeling.

Xu Taiping and Deer Island walked forward. After walking for about a hundred meters, a huge hall appeared in front of them.

The hall was about the size of a football field, and it was filled with planes, tanks, and a bunch of modern weapons.

"The weapons here are enough for the Hunter Association to respond to any attack by the armed forces!" Deer Island explained as they walked towards a small door at the side.

Xu Taiping glanced at the tanks and airplanes, discovering that they had a technological feel to them. They seemed to be a lot more advanced than the outside world.

The two of them walked through the small door at the side and continued to walk forward.

After about five minutes, another door appeared in front of them.

"Why are all these tunnels so long?" Xu Taiping asked.

"The longer the tunnel, the safer it is. There are traps everywhere along the way. However, we have verified our identity so we won't trigger the traps. That's why we can get here so easily!" As Deer Island spoke, he placed his hand on a screen in front of the door.

A few seconds later, the door opened.

Lu Island was the first to enter, followed by Xu Taiping.

"Welcome to the Hunter Association's headquarters!" Deer Island stood by the door and said.

Xu Taiping stopped and looked ahead.

In front of him was a huge underground space.

Xu Taiping estimated that this space was at least a hundred meters high. As for its width, it should be the size of two sports stadiums. The castle-like structure in the middle was entirely made of steel, and its color was a little dark. It looked just like a huge steel beast.

"That's the Hunter Temple, the real headquarters of the Hunter Association. Major meetings will be held there, as well as some major events, such as the celebrations of the Hunter Association." Deer Island pointed at the enormous castle.

"What about these around us?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Each of them has a public utility, and that circular building is the computer control center of the entire Hunter Headquarters. At the same time, it could be counted as the strongest computer cluster in the world, with three SSS level computer hunters overseeing it on a daily basis. There are very few places in the world that our Hunter Association can't enter." There are many weapons specialists in there, all of them are SS-class. Just now, those aircraft and tanks you saw along the way, as well as the traps that didn't trigger all the way here, were all developed by those people. Over there, that cake like building is the headquarters of a gourmet hunter, the building with a fist is the headquarters of a fighting hunter … " Deer Island introduced Xu Taiping to the public use of each building in turn.

Xu Taiping discovered that every type of hunter had their own headquarters, and the battle hunter headquarters was the closest to the Hunter Temple.

At that moment, a car floated up to Xu Taiping.

The car did not have any wheels. It was flat underneath, but it was floating in the air. The car did not have any propellers either.

"This is a maglev car." Deer Island said.

"Maglev car?" Xu Taiping looked at the ground, and found that it wasn't dirt, but something metallic.

No wonder this kind of car was able to float here. It seemed like it had something to do with the ground.

"Mr. Deer Island, please follow me to the Hunter Temple!" The driver said with a smile.

"Flower Stinger, get in!" Deer Island said.

Xu Taiping nodded, and got into the car with the Thorny Flower Blade. Afterwards, the car immediately rose into the air, flying towards the Hunter Temple in the distance.

Looking down from the carriage, Xu Taiping found that there were quite a few people in the city. Some were walking on the roads, while others were in the buildings.

"How many SSS Class Hunters are there in the Hunter Association?" Xu Taiping asked.

"As there are so many kinds of Hunters, there are actually quite a few SSS level Hunters in the association and there are about 20 of them in each type." Deer Island said.

"Then there are at least a few hundred people!" Xu Taiping said.

Yes, the Hunter Association has gone through hundreds of years of development, and is the largest association in the world. Not only ordinary people, but even mercenaries, killers, and other gray professionals, many of them would choose to join the Hunter Association because the Hunter Association will not interfere with their actions. Moreover, many of the tasks of the Hunter Association overlap with those of other associations. Deer Island said.

Xu Taiping nodded. He knew this very well. After all, he had once been someone of the third level.

The maglev car quickly arrived at the front of the Hunter Temple, and then slowly descended onto an extended platform.

There were already quite a few people on the platform.

Xu Taiping and Lu Dao got off the car together. As soon as the two got off, the people on the platform walked over.
