Dammit, what is this man thinking? pondered Arnold as he effortfully suppressed his boiling anger and watched the unsuspecting young man’s back.

This encounter had been unexpected. According to the intelligence they’d gathered, the Thousand Tricks almost never left his clan house, and so Arnold had thought he’d need to come up with a plan to encounter him. He’d intended this trip as a reconnaissance only and wasn’t expecting to actually meet him in person.

Of course, if they actually crossed paths, that wouldn’t be a problem for Arnold. He was a hunter, and hunters never neglected their equipment.

On the contrary, it’d been the Thousand Tricks’s appearance that had seemed suspicious: not only had his casual attire appeared far from suitable for combat, but he also had no visible weapons on him. Of course, he could’ve concealed his weapons in various ways, so caution was warranted, but his every single move just seemed overly vulnerable.

Is he aiming to counter my attack? Is that why he’s intentionally showing his vulnerabilities? But his actions seem so blatant...

Even worse, this encounter probably didn’t happen by chance. Arnold would’ve thought otherwise had they met on the main street, but considering that this was a secluded byway where they’d met, it was more natural to consider this as the result of the Thousand Tricks’s foresight, as rumored.

Arnold didn’t know what to make of this. The Thousand Tricks had come taunting them in an ostentatious outfit, then begun claiming to not want a fight. And now, brushing that aside, he was recklessly suggesting that they continue at a more crowded main street. His intentions were alarmingly impossible to fathom—truly befitting the name “Thousand Tricks.”

We have the benefit of numbers.

Although the young lady accompanying the Thousand Tricks was fairly capable (or rather, she looked stronger than the Thousand Tricks himself no matter how he sliced it), she still couldn’t compare to Arnold or Eigh. A wider street would be more beneficial to Arnold’s side with their superiority in numbers.

Is this meant to be a handicap on himself? But why...?

Arnold was already almost certain of his victory.

The Thousand Tricks was such a weakling that had Eigh not learned of his appearances beforehand, they would surely have passed him by without noticing. His movements were the very definition of “amateur.” Since he was a Level 8, It was hard to imagine that what they could see on the surface was all there was to his strength, yet Arnold couldn’t envision losing to him.

This was a first for Arnold. He would’ve understood if his strength was so inconceivable that he couldn’t see the end of it—but there was simply too little to his strength.

“Arnold, let’s not let our guards down. That dude is trusted by the Association branch manager.”

“Yeah, I know.”

He clenched his teeth and glared fiercely at the back of his opponent’s head, but the Thousand Tricks’s behaviors remained unchanged.

This was a strange situation indeed.

According to Arnold’s estimation, the Thousand Tricks’s strength was only comparable to a random person they could
