Even though it's been a few days since Evan turned the little cat into a shadow undead, he still wasn't able to see its skill using the second effect of the Growth Link skill.
Although Evan wasn't sure, if he had to guess, he'd say it had something to do with the strange way it died.
He asked Hana what happened that day when it tried to control his shadow undeads using its psychic skill, but even the little cat wasn't sure what happened.
According to it, just as its psychic waves went inside his shadow undeads bodies, it received a strong backlash and died as a result.
He even asked his other shadow undeads if they felt anything when Hana tried to control them, but they all shook their heads because they didn't feel anything.
When Evan landed on the terrace of the hotel, he saw a man with a bloodied face and broken teeth looking at Hana with a look of worship on his face.
Although he already knew that Hana's spiritual power was off the charts, it was still hard for him to believe how easily it was controlling an A+ rank hunter.
Meow!
After seeing Evan, Hana ran towards him like an excited kitten. Just looking at it, Evan could tell that it was asking him to praise it for capturing a suspicious person.
Evan rolled his eyes seeing Hana's excited expression but still picked it up in his arms and patted its head.
"So who is this guy now?" Evan muttered to himself and walked towards the man while carrying Hana.
The man was still Hana's control so he didn't react when Evan stopped in front of him.
Upon careful inspection, Evan noticed the man was wearing a mask, but it was completely broken because of some reason.
"It looks like he's just another dog of the Dark Guild since he was hiding his face," Evan said and looked at Hana. "Can you control him in such a way that he would answer all the questions I ask?"
He could have turned the man into a shadow undead to get all his answers, but he didn't because he wasn't 100% sure that the man in front of him is an enemy.
Hearing him, Hana nodded its head and its eyes flickered once again.
Meow!
After a few seconds Hana looked back at him and meowed out, telling him he can now ask his questions.
"You are the best," Evan said to the small cat in a genuine voice and looked back at the man.
"What is your name mister?" Evan asked as he sat down at the edge of the terrace.
"Nicole" the man answered immediately with his eyes fixed on Hana.
"So mister Nicole, who sent you here... And what was your motive?"
"President Natasha sent me here. She wanted me to me keep an eye on the hotel where the participants of the tournament are staying so that I can protect them."
"What?" Evan stood up and looked at the man with a shocked face. "You...you came here to protect the tournament participants?"
"Yes," the man nodded his head, still looking at Hana adoringly.
"Fu*k" Evan can't help but curse when he realized little Neko Chan beat down the wrong person.
He was thinking that this person might be someone from the Dark Guild or related to the person who used the Enfibbling Curse on him. But he never thought that he would be someone from the hunter association.
His mouth can't help but twitch seeing the broken teeth of the man.
"Well.... there is no point in crying over spilled milk," Evan said and summoned Elysia.
"Heal him"
Elysia extended her hand and a white energy enveloped Nicole. In just a few seconds, Nicole fully recovered, but he still stayed under Hana's control.
After healing Nicole, Evan thought about what he should do with him when suddenly a question came into his mind.
"Why did President Natasha send you here to protect the participants?... I mean, is there anyone who wants to harm them?"
Evan knew Sera is targeting students who possess a unique physique and are here to participate in the tournament, but he knew about this only because of the information he gathered in the past. According to him, it is very unlikely that Natasha knew about this matter so he was truly confused why she sent this guy here.
Hearing Evan's question the man shook his head, "I don't know, she just told me to keep an eye here and prevent any kind of mishaps."
"But if I have to guess, I would say she sent me here because of what happened yesterday."
"Is that so?" Evan said, feeling strange that she sent him to protect the students...Because currently there are many A+ rank teachers who are present in the hotel unless an S rank hunter tries to do something, Evan was sure that nothing can happen here.
Even though he felt it was strange, he did not think too much about it.
"Hana, he won't remember this conversation after you stop controlling his mind, right?" Evan asked because he remember how the monsters Hana was controlling in the wilderness were confused after it died and they regained their senses.
Hana nodded its head after hearing Evan.
Seeing it was nodding its head Evan once again looked at Elysia.
Without saying anything Elysia walked toward Nicole, after coming in front of him, Elysia lifted one of her hands and gave him a karate chop.
Nicole's eyes rolled inside his head and he immediately fainted after receiving the karate chop.
Evan was envious when he saw this because he also wanted to make people faint with just a single karate chop, but unfortunately, wherever he tried something like this in the past it never worked.
"Let's go and get some good sleep since the tournament will start tomorrow," Evan muttered to himself and decided to go back. Since Nicole came here to protect them, he had no intention of harming him.
But just as he was getting ready to go back, he looked in a certain direction, and his eyes flashed.
He tried to focus with his spiritual senses and soon a faint smile appeared on his face.
"I hope this guy will be useful," Evan muttered and sat down at the edge of the terrace once again.
