NovelEnglishChapter 212 – Historical Meaning and Promise (3)
Keriber was not embarrassed and answered honestly.
“Is there anyone stronger than Jace among the Imperial Hunters?” Becky was curious.
Hearing this, Keriber pondered for a while before slowly shaking his head.
“Other than me, there shouldn’t be any Imperial Hunters who are a match for Jace at the moment.”
“So Jace is already the de facto No.2 of the Imperial Hunters?”
Becky smiled and turned to look at the senior hunters who were also watching the battle.
The many Fourth Enhancement hunters looked at each other. Thinking of Zhou Jing’s strength just now, they realized that there was really no problem with his title.
Among the Empire’s hunters, Jace’s combat strength was basically enough to stabilize his position as the second strongest.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHunters respected the strong. Although Jace had just joined and had just become a fourth-time Enhancer, as long as he was strong enough, many hunters would acknowledge his position.
Seeing this, Becky nodded in satisfaction and smiled.
“Such a talent needs to be nurtured. Keriber, you’re not young anymore. It’s time for you to find a successor. Cultivate Jace as the next commander of the Imperial Hunters.”
“Alright, I’ll do my best.”
Keriber laughed heartily.
......
Due to the high death rate, hunters didn’t live very long. Keriber was already close to 60 years old, which was a rare age for hunters. It was also time for him to find a successor. All the Fourth Enhancement Imperial Hunters were possible candidates, but for now, Jace had the most potential.
Keriber did not have much desire for power. He already had high hopes for Jace, and after the battle just now, this thought was even firmly planted.
Only then did Becky look at Zhou Jing. He stopped smiling and solemnly spoke out,
“Jace, I think highly of you and trust you. The responsibility of the Commander of Imperial Hunters is huge. I hope you can bear it in the future. When you further prove your talent, I will personally bestow you the title of the next Chief Hunter of the Empire!”
Zhou Jing’s heart skipped a beat, but he did not refuse. He nodded calmly, “Alright.”
The benefits of displaying his strength this time seemed greater than expected.
He had thought that he would at most be further valued by the royal family and leave a deeper impression on Becky.
He did not expect Becky to directly appoint him as the successor of the Empire’s Chief Hunter!
Although it was a surprise… Zhou Jing felt that the King treated him differently not only because of his strength but also because of other factors.
He did not know if it was an illusion, but the way the King looked at him seemed to be a little scrutinizing and testing… Zhou Jing had seen extremely similar gazes on the lousy blind date shows in the main world.
“Does he plan to give me a marriage package like he did to Bill?
“However, with Jason’s physical fitness, ordinary people would be tortured to death.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Only a Mutant Blood Warrior could withstand the impact… Irene?
“I knew it! She was looking at me differently!
“If Bill and Jason both agreed to the marriages, in the future, they would pull their wife along for exercise every day and work hard to sow seeds and give birth to many children. In a few decades, would the royal family of the Terra Empire change their surname to Wood instead?
“Speaking of which, does the Astral Apostle have a fertility function? I haven’t tried it yet…”
Zhou Jing quickly stopped his imagination from running wild.
He would not consider sacrificing his reputation for the time being.
“Stop thinking about all this nonsense. In short, with the King’s promise, I’m closer to completing Jason’s new life objective.”
Becky encouraged him for a while, and Bill pretended to check Jason’s body again before everyone dispersed.
The hunters surrounded Zhou Jing and Keriber as they left the arena together.
In the stands, Irene stared at Zhou Jing in the crowd, her eyes shining.
“Let’s go back too,” Becky called to the guards.
“Ok.”
Hearing this, Irene looked away reluctantly. She pressed down on her sword hilt and escorted the King and Bill back to the palace.
