Nero, The Legendary Hunter

It was 2 pm when Nero and Choko finally left the household.

On the way from Choko\'s home to the Hunters\' Pavilion, Nero and Choko strolled around laughing and talking. Many things and preferences that the two girls did not know about each other were gradually discovered while talking.

"I didn\'t expect you to be afraid of cockroaches, Nero." Choko laughed so hard that her shoulders were shaking. She covered her mouth, trying to contain her laughter, but was unable.

"It\'s not really fear. I\'m just really disgusted," Nero admitted, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I also feel that. After all, cockroaches are very ugly and disgusting," Choko, having calmed down after laughing so much, said.

"We are here." Nero stopped and saw the Hunters Pavilion.

"Come, let\'s go in." Choko took Nero\'s hand naturally and entered the Hunters\' Pavilion.

The two girls went to the item counter and were met by a woman full of smiles who said, "Welcome, how can I help you?"

Choko said, "We want to sell some items."

"Okay, you can put it up here." She indicated for them to place their items on the counter.

Choko nodded and removed the items. The woman evaluated the items and then paid for them.

"Everything comes to a total of 2,495 [Essence Coin]." She was slightly surprised by the amount of items Choko had to sell. She already knew how much Choko could normally acquire and it was not long ago that Choko had sold other items, which meant she got it all in a short time. With a smile, she said, "Miss Choko, here\'s your money."

"Thanks." Choko was happy with the amount of coins she got and kept them in her Hunter Card.

"Miss, you also have items to sell, right?" The woman behind the counter looked at Nero.

"Yes." Nero had already transferred her items into her Hunter Card, which she took out and placed many items that she accumulated all this time.

The attendant took a scare due to the quantity of items and after testing the quality, she discovered that it was of a higher quality than most Rank F Hunters could collect. As for what ranking Nero might be, she did not know, since this city was too small to attract Hunters higher than Level 9.

"Your name is Nero, right?" Seeing her nod, the attendant smiled brightly and treated Nero even more politely. "Your items sold for a total of 25,626 [Essence Coin]."

Choko, beside Nero, felt her heart beat very quickly. That amount of money was very high; it was no surprise that the attendant became more polite when talking to Nero. Nero also couldn\'t help but be happy. Now that she was rich, she didn\'t have to worry about money for a long time.

Taking the [Essence Coin], Nero saved it to her Hunter Card. Now she had a total of 29,287 [Essence Coin].

Leaving the Hunters\' Pavilion, Choko bumped into someone.

"Look where you are going!" A haughty voice was heard, but suddenly that same person said, "Oh? Well, if it is not my dear little sister, Choko."

"Maia?!" Choko felt her heart go sour when she saw who it was.

Maia looked at Choko innocently and gave a beautiful smile while looking at her.

At that moment, Choko, like all three girls who were with Maia, was stunned. In the blink of an eye, Nero stepped in front of Maia with a frightening speed that left everyone else in shock.

"Who are you?" Maia was startled by Nero\'s arrival.

Before Maia could react, she felt a tight grip on her neck, almost strangling her.

"Eliane, die!" From Nero\'s body, a murderous intent exploded, leaving Maia suffocated, almost fainting under the pressure and tightness in her neck.

"Nero, why are you doing this?" Choko was startled, she broke free from her stupor and tried to keep Nero from killing her sister. Although she did not like Maia, Choko could not let Nero kill her, otherwise her father would have Nero killed.

Nero came to, and was confused by her actions. \'Why did I do that?\' she wondered when letting go of Maia\'s neck.

*Cough...! Cough, cough!*

Maia coughed non-stop and pulled in some fresh air while her friends helped her.

Getting a breath, Maia said, "I\'m fine now, thanks."

"Girl, are you crazy!?" Seeing that Maia was fine, one of the girls said as she pointed her finger at Nero\'s face.

"If you don\'t want me to break your finger, you better get out of my sight..." Nero said without any patience. She was already confused by what happened, and seeing someone talking to her like that and putting her finger on her face, made her angry.

"I..." The girl was afraid to hear this from Nero, but she forced herself to remain calm, and with a "Humph!", She walked away. She dared not provoke Nero, who had the courage to do what she did to the eldest daughter of the Qin Clan.

"Nero, why did you do that?" Choko asked. She was worried about what might happen now that she had harmed the eldest daughter of the Qin Clan. Although she was also from the same clan and was a daughter of the Patriarch, the values ​​in the clan and because Maia was the daughter of the Patriarch\'s wife made Maia the favorite daughter of the Patriarch of the Qin Clan.

Maia, who was always treated like a princess and never suffered so much that she thought she was going to die, now looked at Nero with fear. She thought this white-haired girl was going to kill her...

"Her eyes look like the eyes of someone I hate, and that\'s why I ended up confusing her." Nero made up an excuse which was not entirely a lie. She saw some of the sister of the former owner of this body when looking into Maia\'s eyes, so she said that.

"I don\'t know what that person did to make you hate them so much that you want to kill her, but I think you should apologize to my sister," Choko said, softly. She knew how venomous Maia was, and now that Nero had done what she did, it was almost impossible for Maia to do anything, but at least she advised Nero to apologize in order to calm Maia\'s fury.

"You are right, Choko." Nero agreed since she knew she was wrong. She looked at Maia, and even though she was still angry when looking at her, Nero apologized. "I\'m sorry about that. I got a little out of control."

"Do you think everything is fine just because you apologized? You sinister girl! For no reason, you took my friend by the neck and almost killed her, suffocated her!" Emily, Maia\'s friend, and Breno\'s ex-fiancee said. Her face was full of anger as she spoke, "If you really want to apologize, kneel in front of Maia and ask her for forgiveness!"
