Yuan and his two mothers, Anna and Grace, his elder sister Lily, and his two beloved Emma and Xi Meili walked out of Robert\'s office, their hearts filled with a mixture of contentment and anticipation.
As they made their way back to the reception hall to retrieve their hunter licenses from Mireya, they couldn\'t help but notice the absence of the receptionist. The desk stood empty, and Mireya was nowhere to be seen.
Anna, always perceptive, broke the silence, addressing the group. "It seems that Mireya is still working on our hunter licenses," she observed, her voice tinged with understanding. "We should expect her to take a bit longer, especially since she needs to create a new license for Xi Meili."
Emma nodded in agreement, her soft voice adding to the conversation. "Yes, Xi Meili\'s license will require some additional time and attention. It\'s no wonder Mireya is still occupied."
Grace, with her usual cold expression, glanced at each of them before suggesting a practical solution. "Since Mireya isn\'t here, how about we take a seat and wait for her arrival?" Her words carried a sense of logic, acknowledging the need for patience in such circumstances.
The family agreed with Grace\'s suggestion, understanding that waiting patiently was the best course of action. They found a nearby table and settled down, finding solace in each other\'s company. The hall hummed with anticipation, the air thick with a sense of unity and shared purpose.
As they settled down at the table, Lily couldn\'t contain her curiosity and directed her question towards Yuan. "Are we going to take a mission today?" she asked, her eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.
Yuan smiled at his sister\'s enthusiasm and shook his head. "No, not today," he replied, his voice carrying a sense of assurance. "Today, we\'re going shopping. We need to restock on supplies and purchase some necessary items."
Lily\'s face lit up with understanding. "Oh, I see," she exclaimed, nodding her head in agreement. The prospect of shopping seemed to pique her interest, and she eagerly awaited the journey that lay ahead.
Yuan then shifted his gaze towards his two mothers, Anna and Grace. "Moms," he began, his voice filled with a mix of determination and resolve, "how about we leave this town tomorrow and head towards the capital city of the kingdom? There are some matters I need to settle before we move forward."
The mention of "matters" caught Lily and Emma off guard, and they exchanged surprised glances. Yuan\'s words hinted at a deeper purpose, and they eagerly awaited his explanation.
Yuan\'s eyes narrowed slightly as he contemplated his revenge against the city lord\'s son, Jim, and his two accomplices, Paul and Tony. Their actions had led to the death of the original Yuan in this world, and he couldn\'t let them escape justice. "Before leaving this town," he thought to himself, determination seeping into his voice, "I will make sure they pay for their sins."
Lily and Emma\'s astonishment was evident in their voices as they exclaimed simultaneously, "Leaving this town?"
Yuan nodded firmly, his resolve unyielding. "Yes," he affirmed, "this town is too small for us to grow. Staying here will lead us nowhere, and it would be a waste of time. Outside of this town, there are endless opportunities for us to grow and face new challenges that will make us stronger in a faster and more efficient way."
His two mothers, Anna and Grace, shared a knowing glance before expressing their agreement. "Darling is right," Anna said, her voice filled with conviction. "Staying here would limit our potential. It\'s time for us to venture out into the world and seize the opportunities that await us."
Grace nodded in agreement, her usual cold expression softening slightly. "Leaving this town will allow us to spread our wings and reach new heights," she stated, her tone reflecting a sense of determination and ambition.
Xi Meili, who had been listening intently, couldn\'t contain her excitement. Her eyes sparkled with anticipation as she embraced the prospect of exploring this new world. The unknown held a sense of wonder and adventure, and she was eager to experience it alongside her hubby and her sisters.
A few minutes later, Mireya entered the reception hall, her footsteps light and her expression bright. She spotted Yuan and his wives sitting at a table, engaged in cheerful conversation. With a smile on her face, she approached them, her presence radiating warmth.
"Oh, you guys are here," Mireya greeted them warmly. "It seems like you\'ve finished your business with Robert. Did I make you wait long?"
Anna\'s gentle smile put Mireya at ease. "No, not at all," she reassured her. "We were just catching up with each other, and yes, we\'re done with Robert."
Mireya nodded, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction. She turned her attention to Yuan and addressed him directly. "I\'ve finished upgrading your licenses and created a new one for Xi Meili. Congratulations on becoming C-Rank Hunters," she informed him, reaching into her bag and producing the respective licenses for each of them.
Yuan\'s face lit up with gratitude as he accepted the licenses from Mireya. "Thank you, Mireya," he expressed sincerely. "We appreciate your efforts."
Mireya\'s smile widened, radiating pride in her work. "It was my pleasure," she responded warmly. "I\'m glad I could assist you."
With the matter of the licenses settled, Mireya shifted her focus to the question at hand. She looked at Yuan and inquired, "Are you planning to take up a mission now?"
Lily, always eager to contribute to the conversation, chimed in. "No, not today," she responded with a hint of excitement in her voice. "We\'re actually going shopping instead."
Mireya\'s smile remained, and she nodded understandingly. "Ah, I see," she acknowledged. "Sometimes, a break from missions is necessary. Enjoy your shopping trip."
She then leaned in slightly, her voice softening. "Oh, by the way, congratulations on making a fortune today," she said to Yuan, her eyes twinkling with a mix of admiration and amusement.
Yuan\'s eyebrows arched in surprise, and a hint of curiosity sparked in his eyes. "A fortune?" he repeated, a tinge of disbelief in his voice.
Mireya chuckled lightly. "Yes, a fortune," she confirmed. "You\'ve received a substantial reward for your heroic deeds. The pouches of gold coins that Robert gave you are worth quite a sum."
Yuan\'s lips curved into a grateful smile. "Thank you," he said sincerely, his voice filled with appreciation. "We\'re grateful for the reward and for the recognition of our efforts."
Mireya waved off his thanks with a dismissive gesture. "You deserve it," she insisted. "Your bravery and strength have brought safety and peace to this town. It\'s only right that you receive such rewards."
Yuan\'s smile widened as he listened to Mireya\'s words. He nodded in agreement, fully aware of the tasks that awaited them and the workload that burdened Mireya. "You\'re right," he acknowledged. "We shouldn\'t keep you from your work. Thank you again for everything, Mireya."
Mireya\'s smile remained radiant as she responded, her voice filled with warmth. "You\'re welcome, Yuan. It was my pleasure to assist you. Good luck with your shopping, and I\'ll see you again soon."
Anna, ever the caring presence, chimed in. "Take care of yourself, Mireya," she said gently. "Don\'t overwork yourself. We appreciate all that you do."
Mireya nodded gratefully at Anna\'s concern. "Thank you, Anna. I\'ll keep that in mind."
With their parting words exchanged, Yuan, Anna, Grace, Lily, Emma, and Xi Meili bid farewell to Mireya and exited the hunter association. They made their way through the bustling streets of the town, their footsteps echoing with purpose and anticipation.
The market area came into view, its vibrant stalls and enticing aromas captivating their senses. Yuan took the lead, his gaze scanning the various vendors, each offering a plethora of supplies and goods. The group walked together, their steps in sync as they ventured into the maze of market stalls.
Yuan\'s eyes flickered with determination as he guided them through the bustling market, his mind focused on the task at hand. They needed to replenish their supplies, ensuring they were well-prepared for the journey ahead. As they perused the various stalls, they selected items that were essential for their travel, carefully choosing provisions, equipment, and other useful cooking tools.
The atmosphere was lively, filled with the sounds of haggling merchants, chattering customers, and the tantalizing aromas of street food. Grace maintained her composed demeanor, diligently assessing the quality and functionality of the goods they encountered.
Emma, ever the free spirit, allowed her excitement to shine through as she marveled at the diverse array of goods. Her infectious enthusiasm spread to the rest of the group, creating an atmosphere of shared joy and anticipation.
Xi Meili, still relatively new to this world, observed everything with wide-eyed wonder. She clung to Yuan\'s arm, her trust and affection evident in her gaze, as she took in the sights and sounds of the bustling market. The energy of the place resonated with her own excitement for the journey ahead.
Hours passed in a joyful blur as they made their way through the market, ticking off items from their shopping list one by one. With their bags filled and their spirits lifted, they eventually decided it was time to call it a day. They had acquired all they needed, and the anticipation of their upcoming journey lingered in their hearts.
As Yuan and his wives were about to leave the bustling market, his eyes caught sight of three familiar individuals standing not far away. A smile crept across his lips, and he muttered under his breath, realizing that luck was on his side that day. He knew exactly who these individuals were, and he was not about to let them escape alive.
Yuan\'s voice carried a steely determination as he spoke, "Finally, the three bastards have appeared before me. It seems luck is on my side today. But don\'t think for a moment that you\'ll leave here alive."
