The intelligence on the Thousand Tricks that Eigh and the rest of his party had gathered was unexpectedly ridiculous.

They said he was a man who could foresee the future.

They said he’d reached Level 8 without having made a single blunder.

They said he led an entire party of hunters with monikers, and that he’d defeated the legendary Rodin.

Everyone knew his name, but his true strength remained veiled in multiple layers of mystery. There were even members in his clan who’d said “Master is a god.”

With just a few casual inquiries, they’d already heard so much of his reputation—it was no wonder that he’d acted with such arrogance.

However, the more Arnold delved into the reports, the more he twisted his stern expression into a seemingly quizzical one.

Among the gathered intelligence, there was one particular aspect that felt off.

“So there are no rumors regarding his combat abilities, huh?”

“Yeah. Though there have been rumors of him sending a colossal golem flying with only his aura...”

“...That’s some stupid bullshit.”

While hunters each had their own fields of expertise, “combat prowess” was the most emphasized field of all. Even hunters of classes less suited for direct combat could fight better than an ordinary person; that was what being a hunter meant. So if this Thousand Tricks was a Level 8, his power must be beyond human capabilities. Clearly, something was off with this gap in information.

People would normally be skeptical of such a lack of intelligence. But given the Thousand Tricks’s reputation, they’d surely overlook such a minor anomaly. But Arnold was different—the Crashing Lightning hadn’t reached Level 7 through sheer physical strength. His ability to render proper judgments was contingent on him having gathered relevant information, and his intuition as a hunter was telling him that there was more than meets the eye.

He frowned as he mentally pieced together the data. Having arrived at a conclusion, he smirked with a crooked grin—without a doubt, the Thousand Tricks was weak. Or rather, to be more precise, while he wasn’t exactly weak, he probably didn’t possess the combat abilities befitting a Level 8. In terms of profession, he was likely a Thief or Cleric, both non-combat classes. In either case, he was no match for Arnold, who specialized in combat. The absolute lack of intelligence on his combat abilities was probably the work of the Thousand Tricks actively concealing it.

“The ability to foresee the future, huh? Interesting...”

The claim of being able to foresee the future was either a charlatan’s trick or something attributed to legendary heroes.

Perhaps his absurd request to deliver a Thunder Dragon was a ploy to make Arnold hesitate. The more Arnold considered it, the more he saw through this shallow tactic. Perhaps even the words of the branch manager and the receptionist were all part of a bluff.

What nonsense. So this is how they’ll be ensnared in their own plotting.

Though they might deceive the hunters of the capital, they couldn’t deceive the Crashing Lightning.

“Rumors have it that the Stifled Shadow is a childhood friend of the Thousand Tricks.
