Demon hunter's Cooking Manual

In the golden radiance, the owner of that malicious gaze had completely vanished without a trace.

Aras stood at the edge of the Fragment world and the void, not stepping forward, but taking a step back instead.

She returned to the Fragment world, her nostrils flaring.

She hoped to determine Jason's location by smell.

But she was immediately disappointed.

The entire Fragment world had long been battered into chaos by meteorites, and the subsequent flames had burned everything away.

Aras returned disappointed.

With a punch, she shattered the void of the Fragment world and made her way back the way she came.

Ang City, headquarters of the Night Owl Court.

Fifteen years ago, it had been a temporary base for the 'Sanctuary' in Ang City, but now, it served as the headquarters for the 'Night Owl Court.'

The Night Owl Court, a power that had suddenly risen 30 years into the new century, had toppled the previously supreme 'Sanctuary,' completely seizing control of Ang City.

While it was on par with top organizations such as the 'Sanctuary,' 'Holy Serpent Society,' 'Deep Dive Council,' 'Forest Path,' and 'Patrician Sisters Alliance,' unlike these organizations, it did not spread across the entire explorable range of the new century.

The Night Owl Court was rooted only in Ang City.

Of course, the Night Owl Court's subsidiaries 'Hydra' and 'Brotherhood' were different.

Under the leadership of the new Leader Kuituo and Luogen, these two subordinate organizations had already reached the entire explorable range of the new century.

"Leader!"

"Chairman!"

Kuituo and Luogen walked side by side.

Both men were tall and robust, with Kuituo being slightly more muscular, while Luogen was leaner. Their mere stride carried an air of command, an imposing aura enveloping the surroundings, prompting those already full of respect to bow and pay homage.

Kuituo's face was cold, showing no expression, but everyone passing by could hear what sounded like the tumult of battle, sending shivers down their spine.

Luogen, with his shoulders held, a cigar in his mouth, appeared somewhat casual, but to others, he was a wolf on a leisurely walk, signaling that it was best not to provoke him unless one wished to die.

"Will Aunt Aras find Uncle Jason?"

As they were about to cross the passage, Luogen couldn't help but ask.

"She will."

"Even if she doesn't find him there, she will surely find him afterward!"

Kuituo said with certainty.

Fifteen years of camaraderie had made him trust the elder.

Luogen did not argue.

He also trusted the elder.

As for his recent question?

Sometimes, even when one knows the answer is affirmative, one still cannot help but ask.

Clack!

Kuituo and Luogen passed through the passage and pushed open the door.

The room behind the door was one of the few heavily guarded places in the Night Owl Court, accessible only to those who were recognized.

An intruder?

They would face the relentless attacks of the three Guardians.

Aio. Kite, Dibala, and the former 'Claws' of Siba, now the Guardians, showed smiles on their faces when they saw Kuituo and Luogen enter.

"Come in quickly."

"Everyone's waiting for you."

As the eldest, Aio. Kite looked at Kuituo and Luogen with an elder's tender affection.

"Well done."

Dibala laughed heartily.

He was referring to a previous organization that had claimed to be 'Snake Charmers.'

The organization had appeared six months ago, attacking the 'Holy Serpent Society' branches multiple times, causing significant losses for the 'Holy Serpent Society,' much to the female Leader's aggravation,

however, the Night Owl Court was indifferent.

Although allies with the 'Holy Serpent Society,' they believed the female Leader would rather handle the matter herself.

However, a week ago, that organization suddenly attacked a base of the 'Brotherhood.'

This prompted the Night Owl Court to no longer remain indifferent.

Kuituo and Luogen took action directly, cleanly, and thoroughly erased the organization from the map.

Dibala liked this decisive approach.

"You still have some techniques to learn."

Siba commented in a faint voice.

As a former 'King of Assassins' in Ang City, he had once mentored Kuituo and Luogen for a time and held high hopes for them, especially Luogen.

He believed that Luogen could fully inherit his mantle.

"Hmm."

Kuituo nodded coldly and moved inside.

"Got it, Teacher Siba."

"See you later, Dibala, Aio."

Luogen greeted the three with a smile.

The originally narrow corridor had been rebuilt several times in the past fifteen years, not only becoming wider but also more functional. Aside from the original Guardian's room, there were now training rooms, storage rooms, and more.

The storage room contained some 'abnormal' items.

When necessary, one could apply to the newly appointed 'Claws' Edmund and Esther for access.

At this moment, Esther, who had taken Aio. Kite's place as NO.2, was sitting in the small reception room.

Originally, he should have succeeded his father Avent as NO.1.

However, Esther adamantly believed that Edmund was more suited for NO.1.

Equally stubborn, Edmund didn't think he could accept NO.1, so he simply chose NO.14.

'This way, I feel as if Jason is right in front of me!'

Edmund used this rationale to earn the agreement of most.

As a result, NO.1 remained Avent.

However, Avent was not present at the time.

Compared to the semi-retired Aio. Kite, Dibala, and Siba, Avent was busy teaching his seven grandchildren, the children of Esther and the lady Jennifer.

"You should spend more time with the children and Jennifer."

As Jennifer's good friend, Danfoss couldn't help but say.
