Chapter 38: The Bounty Hunter's Circle (Part 2)

  Linda's mouth had become an "O" shape. If the initial kick of Zhou Jian flying a white foreigner was just unbelievable, then Linda's expression at this moment could only be described as having seen a ghost. This kind of expression would only appear in one situation in America - when the NBA dream team composed of American superstars lost to Japan by over 100 points in the World Championships.

  She just personally fought with that black man, his strength is absolutely enough to be a D-level bounty hunter.

  The two other black men who had narrowly escaped were thoroughly stunned, the two seemed to have seen Satan descend upon the earth, where on earth did this monster come from?

  Two people wanted to run, but in a flash, Zhou Jian had already appeared before them.

  One of the big white men was quite agile and, wiping away his virtual sweat, laughed dryly: "The martial arts of China are indeed formidable!"

  "If you don't try, won't you be at a great loss?"

  "Bang!" One punch sent one of the white men flying, and then Zhou Jian's knee struck another white man in the abdomen. That white man let out a miserable cry, his body bent like a shrimp, and everything in his stomach was vomited out.

  Zhou Jian stepped on the back of the white man who was kneeling down, "Foreign devil, what were you saying just now? I didn't hear clearly, say it again."

  That white guy was beaten to a pulp, his stomach churned like a dye workshop, and he wanted to say something, but all that came out of his mouth were unclear murmurs.

  At this time, the black man who was kicked flying by Zhou Jian earlier actually stood up again. He wiped the blood from his mouth and shouted angrily in English with a very heavy accent: "What's the big deal about sneak attacks? I'm not ready yet!" He didn't accept it, he had 100% confidence in his own strength, but just now he was kicked flying without even reacting.

  Zhou Jian didn't understand what he was yelling about, but that wasn't important. He kicked away the white man who was wailing on the ground and slowly walked towards the black man who was shouting.

  "Ah!" The black man let out a loud cry and threw a punch at Zhou Jian's head.

  Zhou Jian sneered, in his opinion the speed of this punch was really slow, compared to Bayu's attack it wasn't even on the same level. He didn't dodge or evade, he raised his right fist and directly punched the black man.

  "Bang!" Zhou Jian's fist landed on the black man's face, and the black man's brain went blank on the spot. However, Zhou Jian didn't stop, continuing to pummel the black man with a flurry of punches, causing him to cry out in agony.

  The onlookers were completely stunned, while Linda was already numb. From the moment she saw this young man, who she thought was usually indifferent to "fitness", kick a black person flying, she wouldn't be surprised by anything else again.

  Just then someone in the hall shouted: "Stop!"

  Zhou Jian looked up and saw a Western man, over 1.85 meters tall, standing not far away, wearing a crisp suit, and the crowd automatically made way for him. The man was a standard Western handsome man, with a perfect face like marble sculpture, and a noble gentleman's temperament, enough to make countless girls fascinated.

  "I'm Andy Martin of the Bounty Hunter Association, these four are my members. Can we consider this matter settled today? Although they insulted that guest from afar earlier, you've beaten them up like this, so it's even, right?" Andy had been on the scene for a while and witnessed the whole thing, but he didn't intervene. He was curious about the young man's strength and background. This person might be a direct descendant of one of the seven major ancient martial arts families in China, if that's the case, it would be worth befriending him.

  Although Andy had an innate sense of pride as a white person, he had to admit that the seven major ancient martial arts families of Huaxia were very powerful. Since the catastrophe of last century, they have been controlling secrets unknown to others.

  Zhou Jian took a look at this Andy Martin, the head of the Bounty Hunters Association? He seemed to be a character.

  Andy's polite opening also won Zhou Jian's favor, and his purpose for coming here today was to sell diamonds. It would be best if this storm could be resolved.

  Just then, Linda leaned over and whispered, "This man is one of the association's managers and was once an A-level bounty hunter."

  "A-level bounty hunter? Zhou Jian had never heard of bounty hunters being graded before, but it wasn't a good time to ask Linda now. He said, 'It's nothing, just a misunderstanding.'"

  Zhou Jian used Chinese, his English is really poor, so I won't bring it out to embarrass him. Moreover, using Chinese at this time and place is more suitable. It's like when national leaders visit the US, even if they can speak English, they will never use English to communicate with foreigners, but instead bring an interpreter, which is due to political reasons.

  Zhou Jian's translation was naturally done by Linda, and because of her previous experience, Linda was very willing to do Zhou Jian's translation.

  "Is this gentleman also one of the bounty hunters?"

  "Yes."

  "So that's how it is, you're all from the same family. I wonder what level of bounty hunter Mr. Zhang is?" Asking someone about their level wasn't considered polite, but Andy was extremely curious about Zhou Jian's abilities and couldn't help himself.

  "I have never registered, no level."

  "Haven't registered yet? Oh, sir, are you interested in registering now? There are only five places worldwide where one can register as a bounty hunter, the other three being in Europe, Africa, Brazil and Southeast Asia. However, the place with the highest gold content is right here. Once registered as a bounty hunter, there will be many benefits, such as receiving tasks from the Bounty Hunter Association, enjoying discounts at exclusive entertainment venues for bounty hunters, and even hiring professional guarantors to boost your reputation."

  Professional bounty hunter? Zhou Jian's heart skipped a beat, he indeed had to join the Bounty Hunter Association, otherwise there was no way to accept tasks. At that time, if he hadn't proven his ability to Chu Qingyun through action, he wouldn't have been able to gain her trust either. He asked: "What are the procedures for joining the Bounty Hunter Association?"

  "You'll need your national ID and proof of ability. If you don't have proof of ability, that's okay. After joining the Bounty Hunter Association, we'll conduct a systematic test of your abilities and give you a corresponding ranking. If your rank is high, your permissions will also be greatly increased."

  It's said that when it comes to using his ID, Zhou Jian furrowed his brow. In Huaxia, there are many people with the name Zhou Jian, but his ID number is unique and can easily lead to finding him in person. Although Zhou Jian thinks that Sun Deguang doesn't have the ability to extend his reach into the Bounty Hunter Association, he still doesn't want to leave behind this clue.

  Andy saw Zhou Jian's concern and said, "If you don't want to register with your real name, you can register as an anonymous bounty hunter. You only need to enter your fingerprint and retinal data, but for this type of bounty hunter, we only provide proof of strength, not credit guarantee."

  －－－－－－－－－－－－－－

  Here are some clarifications.

  So far, the protagonist has a ghost killer incarnation, but he is just an ordinary otaku. If he is found by his enemies, he will be dead for sure. However, this is just a fantasy, and the story unfolds step by step. The protagonist can't be invincible from the very beginning. As the plot progresses slowly, the protagonist will gradually transform. As for what kind of transformation it is, it's meaningless to say now. I've already thought about it when writing the outline, and I guarantee that everyone will be satisfied.

  There are also book friends who think, the protagonist's ability comes from the game, what if the game goes bankrupt? What if the server crashes? As for these, Xiaoxue has already set them up, as the plot of this book unfolds, it will slowly explain all this. Xiaoxue always believes that the setting of YY can be absurd and illogical, but the plot needs to be rigorous and logical, everything follows the rules previously established.
