Chapter 571 Capture The Summoner?
Naphliam City....
It has been thirty-five days since Evan lost consciousness after the fight against Noah.
The city already returned to normal during these thirty five days. With the help of high level hunters who could use earth element related skills, building the city once again was not a difficult task.
The most difficult task was to calm down the people who survived after the battle.
Because of the sudden attack of the Dark Guild, the number of people who lost their lives was more than five hundred thousand.
Although most of the things returned to normal in the city, many people were still scared and the atmosphere of the city was quite gloomy.
Furthermore, everyone in the city knew that something was wrong in the western part of the city.
Authorities had forbidden anyone from going near the city's western gate and people could sometimes feel strange energy waves coming from that direction.
Many people even started to suspect that the incident that occurred more than half a month ago, where the sky turned red and golden, is related to the incident occurring in the western part of the city.
The people of the city were already scared because of the Dark Guild. Their homes were destroyed and many people lost their loved ones because of the attack of monsters. At such a time, the fear of something dangerous happening in the western part of the city was making people restless.
The crime rate in the city reached all time high and the authorities were having difficulty controlling the people.
Currently, a meeting was being held in the administration building of Naphliam City to discuss the situation of the city and what they should do next.
There were a total of eight people inside the meeting room and the atmosphere was quite tense.
"Are you nuts?" Nathan said angrily. "You want to attack them. Have you thought about the consequences of your foolish idea?"
"You're the one being the fool here." Ronan, who had come to Naphliam City a few days ago said with a sneer on his face. "The people of the city are getting restless. If we don't resolve the situation quickly, who knows what will happen."
"I agree with sir Ronan." Charles who was sitting beside Ronan said. "I just received the reports from my team that it is getting harder to control the people because all of them are getting restless due to the situation on the Western Side of the city."
"You think you can solve the situation by attacking them?" Nathan objected. "What if the situation gets worse because of your foolish action? Those monsters are only staying in an area within two hundred kilometres of the Western Gate. They haven't tried to harm anyone during this time. What if_"
"So you're suggesting we leave those monsters alone?" Ronan said coldly. "What if those monsters go on a rampage tomorrow and start killing people? Can you take responsibility for them?"
"I think Ronan has a point" said Jared an S rank hunter who came from the city of Ravenhurst. "Although I understand what Nathan is trying to say, we can't ignore the possibility that those monsters could go on a rampage and start killing people."
"I also agree with him." Said Clark an A+ rank hunter of the Naphliam City.
"Suppose we attack those monsters but... are you guys confident of defeating them?" said Margaret, who came from Astrate City. "From the information we gathered these past few days, we know that there are at least five S rank monsters and about a hundred A+ rank monsters."
"And even if we somehow succeed in defeating them, have you thought about the consequences? We will certainly lose large numbers of hunters which we cannot afford in our present situation." Nathan added.
"Nathan is right. I don't think we need to take such an unnecessary risk." Ron also agreed with Nathan.
"Unnecessary risk?" Hearing Ron's words, Ronan shook his head. "Have you forgotten what happened more than half a month ago? More than ten thousand people lost their minds due to the killing intent released by someone... and you know very well who is responsible for that incident "
Everyone in the room fell silent after hearing Ronan. The bodies of Charles and a few other people shuddered when they remembered the cold killing intent that they felt more than half a month ago.
"I think those monsters are dangerous and we can't leave them alone otherwise we might face a similar incident as that time." Said Mio, a girl with a chubby face. She was an A+ ranked hunter and was from Naphliam City.
"Even if we decide to attack them we need a proper plan. We can't attack carelessly because those monsters are not weak." Clark said.
"Don't worry, for all you know those monsters are summoned beings from a student of Astarte Academy," Ronan said. "The easiest way to solve this problem is to subdue the summoner. Some of our top ranked hunters will face the monsters, while a team will head towards the western gate and look for that guy. In this way, we will be able to solve the problem without much effort."
"Are you planning to kill him?" Nathan asked with furrowed eyebrows when he heard Ronan.
"Of course not, that guy is the one who saved the city from the Dark Guild. There is no way we will kill him. We are simply going to capture him so we can open up the western part of the city and calm down the restless people." Ronan said with a serious look on his face.
Most of the people in the room agreed with Ronan.
"Is this alright?" Ron asked Nathan in a low voice.
Nathan shook his head when he heard Ron and stood up. "I don't know but I am not going to take part in this madness," he said to Ron and turned around to leave.
"Where are you going, Nathan?" Ronan asked when he saw Nathan was leaving the room. Other hunters who were present in the room also looked at him in confusion.
"I don't need to tell you where I am going," Nathan replied to Ronan without looking back.
"We are going to discuss the strategy for_"
"I don't care about your strategy because I am not going to take part in your stupid action" Nathan said and opened the door of the room.
Ronan face turned red from anger hearing Nathan. "You are an S rank hunter it is your responsibility to_"
"Fu*k your responsibility because I don't give a sh*t...." Nathan said coldly while looking at Ronan over his shoulder. "If you have any problem with that, then you are welcome to try me."
"You_" Ronan was furious hearing Nathan, but before he could say anything, Nathan left the room.
After leaving the room Nathan rubbed his eyebrows and sighed inwardly.
"Capture the summoner..." He muttered and looked in the direction of the western gate.
"Do these fools think that a person who can summon so many monsters can be captured so easily?"
Nathan thought about how Evan killed the Titan Elephant with just a single attack and sighed once again.
"These fools don't know but the real danger is not from the monsters, but from the man behind them."
