My Slayer System: Rise to Supremacy

Chapter 207 Hope

After the fight at the casino was over, Helen, Berg, Peter and Alex were currently trailing behind Steve to take them to a more quiet place so they could talk easily and discreetly.

On their way going, they were all walking in silence with everyone having something on their mind which was troubling them. While one person was bored out of their minds as they were fed up with the silence.

"Oh for f*ck sake! You guys are so quiet and it's killing me." Peter said and everybody's thoughts were interrupted.

Seeing nobody responding to him, Peter just decided to keep quiet and hold his armour tighter. He had yet to put it on because he was planning on cherishing it more.

"Alex, you never told us how you met Jake and decided to follow him." Helen said breaking the silence and Peter quickly heaved a sigh of relief since the silence was finally broken.

"Not much to talk about actually, we met during the tournament, then I saw him battle against Sebastian and his friends and I wanted to fight him so bad because I have a drive to fight against really strong opponents and I thought Jake was strong enough to satisfy my urge." Alex said.

"But before I could do that, the werewolves attacked and we were battling for our lives. Then he saved our lives by chasing the Beta werewolf away and I decided to follow him."

What Alex said managed to perk a particular individual's ears as he heard everything.

'Attacked by werewolves? The only place recently attacked was Aurora Academy and I heard that the one known as werewolf slayer was the one to go toe to toe with it and chase it away.' Steve thought.

'Could he be the same person this young man is talking about? Do they know the werewolf slayer? Is that the help Helen said she brought along with her? But why will a powerful figure like him agree to help her?' Steve thought.

'Could it be that she struck some sort of deal? If so, where even is the werewolf slayer?'

"I really appreciate you guys coming here to help me, when I had told Jake about our city being taken over, he said he will help but not now that he had a lot on his plate." Helen said.

"But I didn't know he would help so soon."

"Help you?" Peter asked then he chuckled. "We aren't here to help you all, we are here to help the Fang hunters that damned Blip is ruining our trade."

"It just happens that doing that will help your city in a way so yes, it's just a by-product of our own issues." Peter said which earned him a frown from Alex.

"What? I'm just saying the truth." Peter shrugged.

"We are here." Steve announced.

The team were staring at a cottage that was mostly made of wood in contrast to the advanced technology they had seen in the city earlier.

"Where's this place?" Alex asked.

"This? This is my hideout." Steve said as he walked forward. "Please do come in."

They all stepped through the cottage and they could see that the inside was quite well kept with chairs surrounding a table and a bottle was kept on the table.

"Please, come in and sit." Steve offered and they all sat around the table comfortably while Steve poured himself a drink.

"I'm sure most of you don't drink." Steve smiled as he took a sip of his drink and looked back towards them.

"So miss Helen, what do you want to know?"

"We want to know if it's possible we could set up a meeting with Blip." Helen said.

"It's actually possible but there's a problem." Steve said.

"And what's that?" Peter asked.

"He isn't around right now, I mean Blip is not in the city right now. And even though he was, he wouldn't accept a meeting like that because he is quite arrogant." Steve replied.

"So how are we going to talk to him?" Alex asked.

"I don't know where he went, but I do know that his second in command is here right now. The second highest in command to the Iron Fist Guild." Steve said.

"Can you help us strike a meeting with them?" Helen asked.

"Sure, I can talk to some people and set up the meeting but it will be quite difficult. When the meeting is set, I will inform you." Steve said and then Helen smiled.

"Okay, quick one." Alex said. "I'm curious, why did Blip take over this city all of a sudden? I heard that the city had just suffered an attack from werewolves then Blip came swooping in and taking over the city."

"I don't know why but I know he is planning something big which is not known to we low ranking warriors. But I do know one thing, this is not the only place he is taking over." Steve said as he took another sip of his drink.

"What do you mean?" Berg asked.

"Blip has been taking over smaller towns and cities that don't really have much of a backbone. Only heavens know why." Steve said.

Hearing this, everybody were now deep in thought as they wondered what Blip was planning.

"Can I ask my own questions?" Steve asked.

"Shoot." Peter said.

"Who are you guys?" Steve asked pointing towards Peter and Alex.

Peter then turned towards Alex who just sighed and then lifted his sleeve to reveal his shoulder and so did Peter revealing a marking on them.

Steve's eyes widened in shock as he stared at the markings and kept on pointing at them.

"You… you… you are from the Fang hunters!" Steve said in shock as he kept on stuttering.

After a few minutes of staring at them in surprise, Steve quickly regained his composure and took a sip of his drink while still staring at them.

'No wonder that one was so strong and skillful.' Steve thought as he looked at Alex.

That was when Helen remembered something as she looked towards Steve with hope in her eyes.

"Steve…" Helen called out and Steve was pulled out of his thoughts. "My father… do you know where he is being kept?"

Steve sighed as he took another sip of his drink then he looked at Helen with remorse on his face.

"Yes I do, I know where the Rave lord is being kept but it's not good." Steve said.
