Luke was like a headless fly, still searching for his prey.

Suddenly!

In front of Luke, a towering building, as if pulled from the ground, was directly overturned.

Rumble... dust and smoke began to spread.

Luke exclaimed, "This? Is this my opponent, that B+ battle power Phantom Beast? This power is too terrifying..."

From the smoke, a figure slowly emerged, "That Phantom Beast with only B+ battle power has already been captured by me. It's none of your business, hurry up and leave."

Luke looked at the man, who appeared to be around thirty years old, with a sexy stubble, looking both wild and steady.

He was about 1.8 meters tall, slightly shorter than Luke. In his melancholic and slender eyes, an invisible killing intent emanated faintly.

Luke asked, "Uncle! I haven't seen you before. May I ask, are you also a Leaper?"

The uncle ignored Luke and turned to leave.

Luke thought, "That Phantom Beast with B+ battle power has already been captured by you. Doesn't that mean I came here for nothing?"

So, Luke walked forward and gently patted the uncle's shoulder.

In an instant, Luke heard the whistling of the wind rushing past his ears.

Bang!

Before Luke could react, the melancholic uncle executed a shoulder throw, pressing down on Luke's wrist with his left hand, twisting his waist, and exerting force with his right hand. In the blink of an eye, he had slammed Luke to the ground.

The melancholic uncle remained silent and continued to walk forward.

Luke sat up, rubbing the back of his head, wincing in pain, "Mommy, mommy... that hurts so much. Hey! Uncle, wait, you have to tell me where you took that B+ Phantom Beast. I am a Leaper, I have no malicious intent!"

At this moment, the melancholic uncle stopped, and said slowly in a phlegmy voice, "That B+ Phantom Beast has already been captured by me. So, don't bother me again. Otherwise... I will kill you!"

Luke stood up, clenched his fists, and looked at the uncle with a solemn expression.

"Uncle, what are you saying! What right do you have to decide the life and death of others at will?"

The melancholic uncle lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said disdainfully, "For me, the life and death of others depends entirely on whether I'm happy or not."

"Who to deny, or who to kill, depends on my mood. So, while I'm still in a relatively good mood, you, a Leaper with only Jiang Ling-level battle power, should leave quickly."

After hearing the uncle's remarks, Luke felt a little unhappy, "This guy is so arrogant and conceited."

So Luke retorted, "Uncle, in this world, every fresh life, every kind life, deserves to be respected."

"The meaning of life is not just reproduction or the killing you speak of. It is more about love and joy. We came into this world alone, without anything. Such courage and the beliefs we hold in our souls deserve our serious consideration of these lives."

"Instead of, as you said, deciding the life and death of others based solely on your mood!"

The melancholic uncle hesitated slightly, looking at Luke arrogantly and frivolously, and asked, "Boy... what's your name?"

"My name is Luke! May I ask yours!"

The uncle snorted, casually threw the cigarette in his hand, and stepped on it twice, "Luke, you really talk too much!"

Suddenly! Infinite killing intent appeared in the melancholic uncle's eyes.

Whoosh!

The melancholic uncle flashed forward and swept Luke away with a flying kick.

Luke's feet left the ground, and his body flew backward uncontrollably. Just as his back hit a wall, Luke finally stopped being knocked away.

Bang!

Luke sank deeply into the wall, "Damn it! This uncle is really暴戾 (bàolì - tyrannical)."

Before Luke could pull himself out, the melancholic uncle flashed forward again, aiming at Luke's chest with a front kick.

Bang!

An ordinary front kick actually penetrated Luke's chest.

The center of Luke's chest was actually kicked in a bit by this uncle.

At the same time, Luke was also kicked through the wall by this uncle's kick.

Luke fell to the ground, enduring the pain, groaning a few times, and was about to get up.

The melancholic uncle crossed the broken wall and came to Luke, who was kneeling on one knee.

Puff!

A wide swing punch swung down at Luke's cheek from above.

Bang!

Luke, hit by this heavy punch, was like a ball, knocked and rolled three or four meters away.

Ringing in his ears, "Damn... this guy's strength is at least Hero-level or above. Who is he?"

While Luke was lying on the ground, the melancholic uncle took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and stood there smoking nonchalantly.

About a minute later, Luke sat up.

He saw the uncle standing there, smoking the remaining half of his cigarette, looking nonchalant, thinking, "Is he waiting for me to recover? Or... is he not going to fight anymore?"

After the melancholic uncle flicked away the remaining half of his cigarette, he slowly said, "Your strength is at most Jiang Xing-level. The corresponding... Phantom Beast level is B+."

"Not bad! You're pretty durable! Someone like you, not to mention a Leaper, even a Phantom Beast at the peak of B+ battle power can only withstand three punches from me at most."

"I didn't expect... after fighting for so long, I only managed to break your defense."

Luke stood up, patted the dust off his body, and said confidently, "Uncle, may I ask, what is your honorable name?"

The melancholic man put his hands in his pockets, raised an eyebrow and said, "Hai Wan Organization, my surname is Quan, and my name is Ya. I... am not a Leaper, but a mercenary."

Luke continued to ask, "Why do you mercenaries hunt Phantom Beasts?"

The melancholic man, Quan Ya, told Luke, "You Leapers are also besieging Phantom Beasts, aren't you living for those meager points..."

"We mercenaries are the same. However, we only capture, not kill. We only catch them alive, because only in this way can we sell them for a good price."

"So, our goals are the same. You hunt Phantom Beasts for survival. We mercenaries hunt Phantom Beasts for survival."

Luke disagreed, telling Quan Ya with sonorous words, "We Leapers are completely different from you! We Leapers hunt Phantom Beasts to protect every life and love in this world."

"And you hunt Phantom Beasts as a bargaining chip, which brings greater disaster and merciless killing to this world! You... you are inhuman, even more hateful than Phantom Beasts!"

After hearing Luke's remarks, Quan Ya looked up to the sky and laughed, "Hahaha... fighting for life? Fighting for love?"

Luke answered powerfully, "That's right!"

Quan Ya slowly took his hand out of his pocket, "Luke... I wonder if the beliefs you uphold can withstand all my attacks?"
