Demon hunter's Cooking Manual

So, the other party is likely a resident of 'District 31'.

The 'Collaborator' nearby had a flicker in his eyes.

Clearly, he was thinking the same thing as Jason.

Moreover, the 'Collaborator' thought even further.

'Freedom Army'!

The 'Freedom Army' is in 'District 31'!

This was personally said by the 'Trader'.

So the rumored 'District 31' is the lair of the 'Freedom Army'.

If that's the case...

The 'Collaborator' lowered his eyelids and began to plot.

"So that's how it is, then... where is the 'Freedom Army'?"

Jason stretched the tone.

The 'Collaborator' was stunned.

The 'Trader' was also stunned.

"The 'Freedom Army' is in 'District 31'!"

The 'Trader' said this.

"Stop lying, you're with the 'Freedom Army'. You just said the 'Freedom Army' is in 'District 31', but then you claimed you're not a resident of 'District 31'."

"One is the 'Freedom Army', the other is the 'Vanished District 31', both are renowned urban legends."

"I can't believe it's that simple!"

A look of pride surfaced on Jason's face.

Seeing the pride on Jason's face, the 'Collaborator's' expression changed.

He almost got deceived just now.

Previously, the 'Trader' only said the 'Freedom Army' was in 'District 31', and then he asked about 'District 31', not whether the 'Freedom Army' was truly there.

Such obvious wordplay shouldn't have fooled him.

Secret technique!

Extraordinary Power!

In an instant, the 'Collaborator' thought of something and glared at the 'Trader'.

The 'Trader' frowned.

"You didn't overlook this point?"

The 'Trader' asked in a deep voice.

"Overlook?"

"How could I overlook something so simple?"

"Let me tell you, I..."

Jason said smugly, but he only got halfway through before he seemed to think of something and turned around to run.

His face was full of fear.

His forehead was drenched with sweat.

Anyone who saw would believe Jason was terrified.

Or simply assume some terrifying thing was chasing Jason.

Especially as Jason shouted while running.

"It wasn't me! I know nothing! Don't kill me!"

The voice was woeful.

He looked like someone threatened with imminent demise.

"Oh!"

Suddenly, a sigh came.

A figure stepped out from the shadows beside.

Wearing worn work pants and a tattered denim jacket, of medium build, unshaven, with messy hair and half-closed eyes, looking like he hadn't woken up, but upon seeing this middle-aged man, the 'Trader' was overjoyed.

"Boss!"

The 'Trader' shouted.

The middle-aged man waved his hand without answering, his gaze fixed on the direction Jason was fleeing.

Jason kept running, looking back as he ran.

As if worried he'd be caught.

Seeing the middle-aged man not moving, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the narrowed eyes of the disheveled man, a malicious mockery appeared.

Just like his previous feigned sigh.

He didn't believe that Jason, the 'Tool Person', could survive.

In fact, it was just like that—

Thud!

A flash of cold light swept across Jason's throat.

Jason had no defense, staggered two steps forward, clutching his throat as he collapsed.

Blood sprayed out with a hiss.

Jason clutched his throat with both hands, turning his head to look behind him.

As if wanting to see who killed him even in his dying moments.

But in the instant he turned his head, his life ceased.

A shadow holding a long knife didn't even glance at the fallen Jason, his eyes sharply fixed on the scruffy middle-aged man, his voice slightly excited: "Xi!"

"Didn't expect it would be you!"

"Leader of the Freedom Army in District 26!"

"Didn't expect we'd catch a big fish!"

The shadow holding the long knife spoke as he walked over.

As for Jason?

He had confidence in his knife skills.

That slash was enough to utterly take Jason's life.

Moreover, there was poison on the knife.

So Jason must be a dead man.

A dead man doesn't need worrying.

Furthermore, compared to the dead behind him.

The fellow named 'Xi' in front is what should be paid attention to.

The leader of the 'Freedom Army' in District 26, who had thwarted the boss's plans multiple times, causing them heavy losses—this time, the boss had set such a large scene just to clean up these pests from the 'Freedom Army'.

But unexpectedly, they directly lured out the District 26 'Freedom Army' leader.

This...

It's truly wonderful!

"If I bring your head back, maybe the boss will give me a letter of introduction to the 'Upper' District!"

The shadow holding the long knife said and charged towards the scruffy middle-aged man.

And when the shadow holding the long knife approached, the middle-aged man had already raised his hand, gesturing a handgun.

Bang!

Despite it being a finger gesture of a gun, a gunshot echoed in the air.

A real gunshot!

Ding!

The shadow's long knife swung, sparks flew off the blade, but his form didn't hesitate, continuing forward.

The disheveled middle-aged man pointed at the shadow, making repeated 'bang bang' noises from his mouth.

Invisible bullets rushed towards the shadow.

But they couldn't stop the shadow.

Closer!

Closer!

The 'Collaborator' and 'Trader' even saw the shadow's fierce grin.

"Xi, I'll take your head!"

The shadow shouted, swinging the knife straight out.

However, such a surefire strike missed.

Not exactly missed.

The long knife swept past the neck of the scruffy middle-aged man.

But,

There was no feeling of striking flesh.
