"Scum, I hope you can forget what you just saw."
Saying that, he punched the doorman in the face and, before his accomplices could react, knocked down two others with consecutive blows.
The underlings were instantly terrified. This young man in a suit looked elegant and refined, but he turned out to be a—
Suit-clad thug!
In that case, his Hunter Guild license wasn't fake either...
But guild agents were forbidden from attacking ordinary people!
Why did he attack them so readily!
Duan Chen kicked him towards the wall, and the dark muzzle of his gun was already pressed against the forehead of the last underling.
"M-master... spare me, please don't kill me!"
"Grandpa! Grandpa! You're my grandpa, spare me! I, I didn't see your license..."
"Pah, pah, pah, what license, manufacturing, planting soap... I, I didn't see anything, I don't know anything!"
"I'm not a spirit hunter, I, I'm just an ordinary person..."
The underling, terrified, his snot and tears streaming down his face, trembled and begged for mercy.
"Get lost."
The four of them scrambled out of the exit, not daring to look back.
Duan Chen flicked his cigarette butt.
The situation inside the room was different; it would definitely involve an attack by spirit hunters, and he could capture a few more.
Heh, looks like he could issue three warrants today, Duan Chen thought with joy.
He kicked open the private room door and shouted while raising his gun:
"Freeze, Hunter Guild!"
Brother Ao and his underlings' pupils contracted, their fists raised to strike stopped mid-air.
At this moment, Wu Suowei and the student girl were cornered, their situation desperate.
Seeing Duan Chen appear, both of them's eyes lit up.
Mi Xueer had also heard rumors about the Hunter Guild, that it housed the nation's chosen top-tier men.
But only the agents were muscular, talented, and eccentric individuals.
How come this agent in front of her was not only not eccentric but also remarkably handsome.
She wiped away her tears, but her heart still ached. After all, they were facing fifteen burly men; could one agent handle them?
Duan Chen flicked the tip of his gun, and the underlings wisely retreated.
"Damn it, can't even guard the door, what a bunch of losers," Brother Ao spat, glaring fiercely at Duan Chen.
"Police? Even the police have to follow my rules on my turf."
A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he waved his hand, roaring, "Attack! You bunch of people, aren't you afraid of him alone?"
However, not a single underling dared to charge forward.
The atmosphere became subtly awkward.
"B-big brother, he's a Hunter Guild agent. Attacking him is equivalent to assaulting an officer; you'll go to jail."
"That's right, big brother, and he has a gun..."
The underlings said meekly, which infuriated Brother Ao, his face contorting.
"Useless, useless! All of you are useless!"
Brother Ao kicked an underling beside him, sending him rolling far away.
As if that wasn't enough to vent his frustration, he slapped another underling on the back of the head with a loud bang.
Mi Xueer cowered even more, covering her mouth, not daring to breathe. She stared at Duan Chen with tear-filled eyes, his face deeply etched in her pupils.
"You're smitten?" Wu Suowei suddenly turned his head and whispered.
"Huh? What! You, you, you, don't talk nonsense!" Mi Xueer's cheeks flushed, and she stammered a small denial.
"...You're just giving yourself away." Wu Suowei shook his head.
Duan Chen pointed his gun at Brother Ao, "I'll count to three. Either you get out, or I'll help you get out."
"You, so what if you have a gun?!"
Brother Ao was about to retaliate when the first few underlings actually slipped out the door.
"Three," Duan Chen said coldly, looking at Brother Ao.
A few more underlings ran off. The loyal few gathered around, anxiously asking, "Brother Ao, what do we do? Shall we let them go today??"
"Two."
"Damn it, these losers, I've never had to run with my tail between my legs on my own turf!"
Brother Ao's anger surged. He fiercely pushed away the beauty in his arms, a fierce glint in his eyes.
"You're asking for death!"
"Close the door!"
"Unleash the dogs!"
"Damn it, no one is leaving!"
*Stomp!*
Boiling spiritual energy surged from Brother Ao's body, and a massive Hellhound materialized under his summoning.
Its crimson eyes, sharp claws, and foul breath poured from its mouth, dripping onto the floor tiles and creating bubbling poisonous gas.
"Roar—!"
"!!!"
Mi Xueer's small hands tightly covered her mouth, terrified. What she was seeing completely shattered the worldview she had built over her seventeen years.
Legendary creatures, how could they appear in the real world?
Could humans possibly fight such monsters!
"Quick, run..." Mi Xueer summoned her courage and shouted at Duan Chen.
She rushed towards the door, straining with all her might, but could not open it.
"Don't bother, they've locked it from the outside, you won't be able to open it," Wu Suowei said leisurely as he walked over, remarkably relaxed.
"Then what? Are we just going to wait and die... I'm only seventeen, I've never been in love, I don't want to be dog food," Mi Xueer collapsed on the ground, sobbing softly.
"Hmph, let you all witness my power! Turn into a feast for my beloved canine!"
"Roar—!"
The Hellhound let out a long howl towards the sky, and a torrent of wind assaulted them.
Duan Chen couldn't help but frown, but his eyes gleamed with excitement.
"Hey, hey, you chose the path to hell when heaven's gate was open. If you use your powers, you'll have to come back with me to the precinct."
"Pah, you'll die here, what precinct will I go to!" Brother Ao cackled and waved his hand.
A thick tail swept towards him. Duan Chen immediately defended with his arm, and the immense force swept him away.
He agilely adjusted his posture in mid-air and landed with a flip.
Wu Suowei silently stood in front of Mi Xueer, blocking a barrage of air slashes that could have injured ordinary skin.
Mi Xueer's heart tightened. She couldn't imagine how a human could defeat such a monster.
Even if he wasn't an ordinary person, but a spirit hunter with abilities, in front of the terrifying Hellhound, he was insignificant.
"Agent brother, fight hard..." Mi Xueer whispered a prayer.
Duan Chen shook his neck and smiled, "You, a burly man, are a beast tamer? What's with all that muscle? Come and duel me honorably."
"Hehehehe! You think I'm an idiot? I'm a beast tamer! Go! Eat him for me!"
The Hellhound raised its sharp claws and smashed them fiercely towards Duan Chen's face!
At the critical moment, a strange faint light suddenly flared in Duan Chen's pupils.
His right eye turned into a black roulette wheel, spinning at an extremely fast speed.
