Seeing Ginta open his mouth, Ging waved his hand impatiently at him before he could say anything: "What else can you do by staying here, besides disturbing me?!"
Ginta: "..."
He looked around at the scorched marks left by the flames, falling momentarily speechless.
What Ging Freecss said seemed to be true. Since arriving, Ging has been constantly pondering the Two-headed Wolf's reproduction problem, even establishing boundaries to prevent them from roaming.
But he and Luke had been the ones making noise, throwing bombs, setting fires…
Though they have achieved some results, like giving Ging such valuable suggestions and cleaning up the invading poachers...
Ginta could still tell: Even if Luke had not taken any actions, Ging would have acted himself…
"Okay, I get it."
Ginta could only agree with his head hanging low.
There was nothing he could do. Both Ging Freecss and Luke had their own solutions to the Two-headed Wolf reproduction problem.
On the other hand, he couldn't do anything here and instead seemed to be a hindrance, a nuisance. Perhaps, he really wasn't fit to stay here any longer.
As this thought crossed his mind, he couldn't help but feel annoyed and wanted to kick the charred figure at his feet.
If it weren't for this guy's appearance, he and Luke might have been able to stay here a little longer.
He wouldn't have been chased away by Ging Freecss like this!!
But upon seeing the other party's miserable appearance, he knew that if he made any more moves, he would probably be crushed to pieces.
So he resisted the urge to attack.
Luke was also sizing up the charred figure before.
He should be a tall, blond poacher from the Kute Gang of Thieves, right?
Compared to that other dumb-looking short fat guy, this one was more experienced and clever.
So now, the other one was dead beyond dead, his body caught in the very center of the explosion, and there was not even probably a trace left.
Did this tall, lanky guy just barely survive?
"But sometimes, dying is better than living..."
Luke glanced at the guy's pitch-black head.
The tuft of yellow hair on top of his head had, of course, been completely burned.
At least 99% of his own body was charred.
Experiencing that kind of pain could only be described as worse than death.
If he were taken back to the Hunter Association, he would likely be subjected to new interrogations.
For example, about the source of their Two-headed Wolf intel, which they got from the Sengi Guild.
How did they know about the Sengi Guild in the first place, and so on.
Not to mention, they were all members of the Kute Gang of Thieves.
Anything related to the Kute Gang of Thieves was important intelligence, too.
Thinking of this, Luke glanced at Ging Freecss again.
If it hadn't been for his involvement, if fate had unfolded as it should, these two guys would probably have been able to successfully infiltrate here.
Then they would confront Ging Freecss, who was lost in thought.
Most likely, they would definitely disturb Ging's thinking.
And the result… Well, everyone knows.
Otherwise, Ging wouldn't have wiped out the Kute Gang of Thieves.
This would become one of his greatest achievements.
Either Ging, annoyed, casually sent them all to their graves, or the Kute Gang of Thieves, enraged by their comrades' downfall, came to seek revenge, only to be slaughtered by him in turn…
Either way, the moment these two decided to poach here, the Kute Gang of Thieves' fate was sealed.
"And now, Ginta might be involved."
Luke thought for a moment, then said directly to Ginta: "If the higher-ups in the Hunter Association ask, just say you know nothing and that it was all Ging Freecss's doing."
He patted Ginta's shoulder and said earnestly: "This way, the Kute Gang of Thieves will target Ging Freecss with hatred."
"You will be safe then..."
Ginta: "…"
Ging: "…"
"Uh, Luke..."
Ginta swallowed hard, gritted his teeth, and said: "Pushing this whole thing onto Ging... Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
"I'm accumulating achievements for him!"
Luke said with a frank and righteous conviction, looking utterly selfless: "Protecting the Two-headed Wolf, apprehending poachers, and those from the Kute Gang of Thieves, such achievements are enough to add a significant chapter to his resume!"
"And as the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility. Ging Freecss is clearly very powerful, and he's more than capable of handling a group like the Kute Gang of Thieves."
"Maybe next, he'll be able to wipe out the Kute Gang of Thieves."
"This will not only add to his achievements, but also benefit the country and the people, doing great good for the society!"
Ging Freecss originally wanted to hear how this dog, Luke, was going to explain himself.
Because he just realized that if he himself could barely be considered human, then Luke was truly a dog!!
But when he heard this part, Ging Freecss couldn't hold back anymore:
"I really should thank you so much!!"
He widened those signature dead-fish eyes again, his tone dripping with sarcasm.
"Then should I also include the credit for saving the entire forest from burning?!"
"No need to thank me! It's what I should do!"
Luke waved his hand selflessly, indicating that he didn't care: "This was your contribution to begin with. So, of course it counts!!"
He said seriously: "And if the subsequent Two-headed Wolf reproduction problem is solved, then you'll truly become a textbook-level figure!!"
Ging Freecss: "..."
Well, this bastard's skills at being sarcastic are just as good as his, and even more shameless.
After all, he saved this forest, no question about that.
But why did the forest burn...? Don't ask.
And why were the poachers of the Kute Gang of Thieves sent up dead and charred? Don't worry about that either.
In short, this bastard doesn't want anything to do with it, right?!!
You want to hide, but I won't let you!!!
