The badge is related to the eligibility for royal selection, which means that the person who hired someone to steal the badge and the person who wanted to kill Emilia should be one of the royal chosen ones.
Hao Yun had only watched the first part of Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World-, and he didn't know the rest of the story.
Hao Yun doesn't know who hired the Bowel Hunter to kill Emilia yet, but that's not important to him. He came to this world only to plunder the origin of the Heavenly Dao.
A fight has broken out. Looks like I arrived just in time.
Inside the stolen goods warehouse, Emilia, who had come looking for the badge, was confronting Felt. The standoff lasted only a short while before the Bowel Hunter appeared.
"How useless! The owner actually found you here. In that case, I'll have no choice but to kill you all. I'm really curious about the color of your intestines!"
The bowel hunter smiled kindly and drew two short knives.
Hao Yun, who walked in from outside, looked at the hot-bodied, beautiful, and mature female assassin in front of him and really couldn't bear to make a move.
"Another one is here. Is he one of your helpers?"
Hearing footsteps, the Bowel Hunter turned to look at Hao Yun, a sickly smile on his face.
"What a handsome young man! I can't wait to see the color of your intestines!"
Upon hearing the words of the Bowel Hunter, Hao Yun couldn't help but complain, "What color? Besides red, what other colors are there?"
"It's good that you're here. I'm entrusting my daughter to you now!"
Parker was relieved to see Hao Yun, knowing that Hao Yun would fall into a deep sleep at night and be unable to participate in the battle.
"Hey! Is this really the right thing to do?"
Hao Yun was speechless. We've only known each other for a short time, haven't we?
"Please, my friend! See you tomorrow."
Chapter 246 Repelling the Gut Hunter
"You're really going to cause me trouble."
Hao Yun muttered something impatiently, but Parker couldn't hear him anymore because he had already fallen asleep.
"How interesting, that someone can actually become friends with a silver-haired half-elf."
The gut hunter squinted and smiled at Hao Yun, as if he were looking at some rare animal.
"To be honest, I hate the look in your eyes right now. I advise you to leave obediently, otherwise you'll probably have a hard time getting out of this room."
Hao Yun frowned, his mood not very good.
"Really? Well, that depends on whether you have the ability."
The gut hunter appeared in front of Hao Yun in an instant, and his short knife silently sliced across Hao Yun's stomach.
As the blade struck, the Gut Hunter sensed something was wrong; the feel was off.
"Did you notice? Your attacks are so weak that I don't even bother to make a move."
Hao Yun crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow.
"Hey! Who are you people? Stop chatting amongst yourselves, okay?"
Completely bewildered, Ferut couldn't help but shout to draw attention.
The shopkeeper, Mr. Rom, quickly covered Felt's mouth to stop her from talking nonsense.
None of the people in the room are easy to mess with. The owner of the lost item is a silver-haired half-elf, an elven sorcerer.
The employer is the Intestine Hunter, a notorious assassin.
As for the last guy to come in, he didn't look like someone to be trifled with either.
The only one who seemed easy to bully was Subaru Natsuki, who was standing next to Emilia.
Based on Rom's many years of experience, the best course of action for them now is to remain silent and observe the situation quietly.
"You brat, you're too noisy!"
The Bowel Hunter changed targets, preparing to kill Felt first to seize the badge, and then kill the mission objective Emilia.
As for Hao Yun, the troublemaker, she planned to save him for last. After all, good things are meant to be enjoyed last.
"You hit me, aren't you going to apologize?"
Hao Yun appeared in the path of the Intestine Hunters, forcing them to retreat.
"Apologize? You're quite an interesting person. I'm becoming more and more interested in you. It's a pity I have a mission today, otherwise I would definitely have some fun with you."
The Bowel Hunter licked her lips, her eyes even burning with desire. If it weren't for the knife in her hand, probably no man could resist her.
"Actually, it's fine now. I have plenty of time and can spend a lot of time playing with you."
Hao Yun shrugged, his smile growing even wider.
In fact, Hao Yun did not want to take action. He did not want to be discovered by the Heavenly Dao of this world. If he was discovered, he would be forced to leave.
Having finally encountered a relatively weak world, Hao Yun had no intention of letting go of this opportunity to plunder the world's origin.
"I also want to spend more time with you, but unfortunately I have a mission to complete, so I have to kill you first."
The gut hunter showed a hint of reluctance, but his hands were ruthless as his twin blades grazed Hao Yun's stomach.
Hao Yun looked at his tattered clothes and quickly grabbed the Bowel Hunter's hand.
"Are you helping me take off my clothes? You seem really impatient!"
The two men's suggestive remarks made Emilia and Felt blush with embarrassment.
Emilia spat lightly, cursing Hao Yun for being shameless.
As for 486, he was completely shocked. He realized how powerful Hao Yun was. If it were him, he would probably be dead by now.
Touching his belly, 486 stood still, afraid of being noticed.
"Oh dear? You're putting me in a difficult position."
The gut hunter chuckled and thrust the short knife in his left hand toward Hao Yun's eyes.
Hao Yun reached out, pinched the short knife between two fingers, and still had a smile on his face.
"I really can't bear to kill you like this. Why don't you just leave?"
The short sword shattered, and Hao Yun wrapped his arms around the waist of the Intestine Hunter, the two embracing each other.
"I'm getting more and more excited, but a mission is a mission, and I have no choice but to do my best to complete it."
Discarding the broken twin blades, the Bowel Hunter leaned forward to kiss Hao Yun's cheek, while simultaneously drawing his spare dagger and slashing at Hao Yun's throat.
"careful!"
Emilia, watching from afar, anxiously tried to stop the Bowel Hunter, but the distance was too great. By the time the magic was activated, the dagger had already slashed across Hao Yun's throat.
"You're really naughty!"
Hao Yun sighed, released the Intestine Hunter's waist, and punched him hard in the abdomen.
boom!
The gut hunter flew out and smashed the wall.
Emilia rushed anxiously to Hao Yun's side, clutching his throat to treat his wounds.
The healing magic activated, and Emilia exclaimed in surprise.
"You're not injured?"
"Thank you for your concern, but I don't think I need treatment."
Hao Yun smiled slightly and showed off his completely unharmed neck.
"Impossible! I clearly saw the knife cut across it."
Emilia carefully examined Hao Yun and found that there were no wounds, which relieved her.
"It's good that you're alright, but what you did just now was really dangerous!"
Recalling Hao Yun's actions just now, Emilia couldn't help but reprimand him.
"Sorry, I'll be more careful next time."
Hao Yun shrugged and looked at the area shrouded in smoke and dust.
Standing not far away, 486 watched Hao Yun and Emilia's intimate actions, feeling a surge of resentment.
Why, why does Emilia care about him? I'm the main character!
"What a cruel heart! To treat me so harshly, but... I'm starting to get excited."
Emerging from the ruins, the Bowel Hunter, his face flushed, looked at Hao Yun with eyes full of admiration.
"What a nuisance, wouldn't it be better to just leave quietly?"
Hao Yun scratched his head, thinking that the Intestine Hunter was a really difficult person to deal with.
If Hao Dong were to unleash his full power, he could kill the Intestine Hunter with a flick of his finger, but once he used his power, he would be discovered by the Heavenly Dao.
Hao Yun wasn't sure how much of his strength he could use without being detected, so he didn't want to make a move at all.
Sigh, wouldn't it be better to just stay quietly at the fruit stand? Anyway, Subaru can die and be reborn, bringing the timeline back to the beginning.
Now that I've come along and am being slaughtered by the Intestine Hunters, I feel a pang of reluctance.
"Have I put you in a difficult position? If you leave, I can pretend I didn't see it."
The Bowel Hunter did not want to fight Hao Yun. Her beast-like intuition told her that Hao Yun was dangerous and that she would definitely die if she angered her.
Why are you so determined to complete this mission? Why don't you come and join me?
Faced with Hao Yun's offer of recruitment, the Intestine Hunter smiled charmingly.
"I long to stay by your side, but there are some things I cannot control."
With a whoosh, the Bowel Hunter appeared behind Emilia, his twin blades aimed at her ribs.
Emilia, completely unprepared, had no time to retaliate.
"careful!"
