Chapter 1137 A Covert Plan



Lory glanced at Lydia from the corner of her eye.

'A healer'

Thinking back, the reason the S.A.I.N.T organization gathered healers was never clear, Uncle Stephan and the others tried to find out what the organization was planning because not even for a second Uncle Stephan that the S.A.I.N.T organization gathered healers from all over the world simply to help them share their power with the people in need.

'Yeah right, and I'm an angel that came down to earth to bless people with my gentle heart' that's what Uncle Stephan used to say.

Actually, everyone agreed with Uncle Stevie 'not about his gentle heart though' but about S.A.I.N.T's organizational motives, unfortunately, all clues lead to a dead end cause all people who might know what happened died from accidents, sickness, or suddenly just disappeared which of course very suspicious but then Nazareth suddenly awakened and destroy the world so all investigations about it postponed or forgotten.

But now, out of nowhere a Saintess with more power than her healing gift suddenly appeared, heck, she would be an idiot if she didn't feel something very fishy going on here.

There's not much to know about the saintess other than her birthplace, and age even that can be fabricated. Lory is interested in finding out more about the holy man, who is close to him, who is his close friend, does he have a lover?

Lory's mind drifted away thinking of all the possibilities then she glanced at Lydia, maybe she could find out more about the Saintess from Lydia although she wasn't sure Lydia knew important things but at least she could find out what S.A.I.N.T organization thought about the Saintess, how important she is for them.

Finally, the battle ended needless to say it was won by Garrof and the others, Lydia cheered happily while running towards them then she check their condition to make sure they were okay.

Behind her, Lory walked at a slow pace toward the happy bunch who look a bit tired after the fierce battle well at least for the young hunter Dan and Owen.

"Thank Goodness, I thought this would never end!" Owen dropped his butt to the ground completely drained out.

Dan leaned on his double swords while catching his breath on the other hand Lyod and Garrof looked much better compared to the young hunters but they still got a few scratches on their bodies which Lydia quickly healed and now she look tired as well.

Lory walked over to the Zhyger carcass and examined the beast and confirmed it was smaller than the ones she had faced in the past.

"Hey, stay away from our prey!" Owen, who was prejudiced against weak hunters, suddenly snapped at Lory.

Owen hurriedly ran towards the carcass as if he was afraid that Lory would steal the huge carcass right in front of their face, as if that was possible.

"Hey, Owen!" Garrof rebuked his rude behavior but fell on deft ear.

Lory stood up and took a step back while Owen took out his knife and began to slice open the beast's body.

"Be careful, Zhyger's heart is like hot steel but very fragile!" Lydia said worriedly, it seemed she didn't really trust the boy.

However, instead of being angry, Owen's face lit up with a bright smile, "Don't worry, Miss Boyd, I'm a professional!" still, he never forgets to show off in front of his crush.

Lydia smiled dryly while Dan and Lyod pretended not to know him.

On the other hand, Lory give an approving nod, she admired Owen's thick skin.

eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ As soon as Owen opened the beast's body, a familiar pungent smell emanated from the beast's blood, Lory covered her nose while taking a step back she didn't like being reminded of the time when she traveled alone during the Dark age time.

Owen snorted scornfully at Lory's reaction, even though Zhyger's blood is indeed more stink than normal Beast's blood but, anyone who wants to become a hunter must be prepared to face things that are even more disgusting than this, yet this rookie backs out just because little things like this.

Owen already thought she wasn't cut out to be a hunter and he couldn't even find this red hair woman's husband maybe he was scared and hiding somewhere since he look weak.

"Useless!" Owen grumbles.

Lory didn't take it personally, he didn't care what the hot-tempered young man thought after all this wasn't the first time he had met a hunter like Owen, and definitely not the last either.

What's more concerning is why these people need Zhyger Liver.

According to Uncle Dorian, Zhyger's liver is very deadly to be consumed by humans, but there are certain conditions that were allowed to consume Zhyger's liver even though the side effects cannot be taken lightly, and that condition is when the person got 'the ice queen's heart' cursed.

Lory concluded that the person who hired the Great Saber Group was the one who got this curse and not only was he rich enough to hire a group of class A hunters like Garrof and Lyod he also had the power to request healer assistance from the S.A.I.N.T organization.

"Looks like your job in here is done" Lory looked at Garrof with a meaningful look.

Garrof stifled a chuckle, it was no use hiding it anymore, "Yeah, luckily things went well..."

Lory remembered Garrof from the Ultima infantry so she understood where the relief was coming from "Yeah, thanks to you I supposed..." she said with a fleeting smile.

Her eyes stared at him for a moment before she casually looked away, Garrof was stunned for a moment he felt mixed emotions coming from those green eyes as if she knew more than she was letting on but maybe he was just imagining it.

"Oh, where is your husband Miss Jane" Only now Lyod realized Zhao Li Xin wasn't around.

"He taking a rest to gather his strength" Lory laughs so everyone thought she was kidding.

"You sure he's not hiding somewhere" Owen chides.

"Owen enough!" Dan felt his words had crossed the line.

Lory looked at Owen with a hint of amusement in his eyes, she found it funny to imagine someone like Zhao Li Xin would hide because she never connected the word hide and Zhao Li Xin in the same sentence even if he lost all his strength Zhao Li Xin would face his enemy head on without the slightest bit of hesitation, cause he is that crazy.
