I Am A Notorious Hidden Boss In The Alternate World

Outside Eastern Allure Casino. 

"Young Master Gavino, is it fine to leave like that? That person was so rude and disrespectful to you? We ought to teach that person a—"

"A what? A lesson? You can try if you want to die."

Gavino Vinci quickly retorted his subordinate before the subordinate bowed slightly and said, "I don't understand, Young Master Gavino. Please enlighten this subordinate."

"You only need to understand that we are no longer top family of Maple city, but one among many other established families that moved to Silvercove city. We need to tread lightly when staying in someone else's yard.

Gavino Vinci linked his hands behind his back before stating, "More friends are always better than more enemies."

Shortly after, a luxurious black car arrived before a subordinate opened the door for Gavino Vinci to enter.

"The established families within Draco county are all interested in a future Tier-1 city like Silvercove but don't forget that the underworld forces would also be interested."

Since Albion was not from a notable family, nor was he a disciple of an established ancient sect, he could only be someone from one of the underworld forces—that was the conclusion of Gavino Vinci.

"Remember; harmony is rewarding, trouble is punishing." Gavino Vinci imparted before he stated, "Just prepare for the evening auction."

"Yes, Young Master."

…

In another corner around Eastern Allure Casino, Young Master Godfrey of the Newman family sat inside his private ride home along with his subordinates.

"Pass me the tablet." Godfrey Newman ordered.

The electronic tablet was quickly handed over by a subordinate before Godfrey Newman before the young master began searching for information stored on the tablet.

"What are you looking for, Young Master Godfrey?" a curious subordinated asked.

"During the outbreak two days, the appearance of Second Wave Dimensional Rifts also came with a Behemoth-class interdimensional creature, of which, each was slain by the emperors and empress. Although it wasn't confirmed, it is suspected that a Behemoth-class interdimensional creature also appeared in Silvercove city."

"That's true. There is this sort of speculation going around." The subordinates nodded before asking with doubt, "But what about it, Young Master Godfrey?"

"You don't get it? If there was a Behemoth-class creature, then there had to be someone strong enough to kill it!" Godfrey Newman stated.

The subordinates were surprised by Young Master Godfrey bringing up this matter before they shortly asked with shock and disbelief, "Young Master Godfrey is suspecting that Young Master Albion is one the who killed the Behemoth-class creature?"

'Of course not! Don't be ridiculous," Godfrey Newman was quick to deny the possibility with a shake of his head.

"Young Master Albion is only around my age. No matter how talented he is, he cannot possibly be as strong as the emperors and empress who have lived for a few hundred years."

"Right? I was just about to say; the local news stated that Hero Wudi was the one who slew the giant interdimensional creature suspected to be a Behemoth-class," a subordinate patted his chest with relief.

It was too much of a shock for him if someone below thirty truly attained the same strength as the Four Emperors.

"Although the Silvercove Hunter Association Branch has kept a close wrap on the information regarding the classification of the giant carcass in their possession, there's a 90% chance of it being a Behemoth-class," Godfrey Newman stated.

"There was also the appearance of Emperor Polemos at the scene." Godfrey Newman added before he suddenly paused on a picture that was saved on the tablet, "As I thought, there was a picture of all three of them being together."

"Although it only a side profile, this third person in the picture definitely resembles that of the Young Master Albion we just met."

It was a picture of Albion, Cao Wudi, and Emperor Polemos before their departure for Damocles.

"Could it be that Young Master Albion is related to them in some way? If it's true, it will be in the Newman family's best interest to befriend this person… No wonder Young Master Godfrey was quite amicable…"

The subordinates began nodding with understanding looks. It all made sense to them as to why their young master wanted to befriend the person.

"Still, I'm quite curious about Young Master Albion's true identity. Could he be the bastard son of Emperor Polemos? Or Hero Wudi's son, perhaps?" a subordinate wondered.

…

Silvercove Hunter Association Branch.

"Achoo!" Cao Wudi suddenly sneezed.

"Are you alright, Mr. Wudi? Should I turn off the air-con?" Branch Leader Johnson inquired out of courtesy while they were chatting over coffee in his office.

"I'm fine." Cao Wudi quickly shook his head before stating, "Just a sudden itch."

If Cao Wudi knew that someone was suspecting his master to be his own son, he would have most likely had a heart attack due to shock.

"About what you wanted to talk to me about previously, Branch Leader Johnson…"

"Oh, right. I have almost forgotten the purpose of our meeting," Branch Leader Johnson gave himself a smack on the head as he recalled his purpose.

"With the alarming number of applications in the past two days, the Silvercove Hunter Association Branch has decided to hold its annual Hunter Exam early—in three days, to be exact," Branch Leader Johnson informed.

"Oh?" Cao Wudi was slightly surprised before asking, "What does this have to do with me, I wonder?" Branch Leader Johnson?"

"As Mr. Wudi knows, a Hunter is required to pass the Hunter Exam to become an Official Hunter. However, Mr. Wudi was recruited without having to undergo such an exam."

"You mean…"

"If it's not too much trouble, I would like Mr. Wudi to participate in the Hunter Exam to leave behind an official record for the sake of formality," Branch Leader Johnson smiled wryly.

"Due to the attention on Silvercove city, the Silvercove Hunter Association Branch had been under heavy scrutiny by the higher-ups. The other maggots—ahem, I mean the other Branch Leaders are trying to find fault to replace me in Silvercove."

"I see…" Cao Wudi nodded with understanding after listening to Branch Leader Johnson's explanation before he agreed, "It's no trouble at all. I owe you this much for helping me previously, Branch Leader Johnson."

"That's great!" Branch Leader Johnson was overjoyed.

However, his joy quickly changed to awkwardness before he sincerely requested, "I hope Mr. Wudi can bring Young Master Albion to participate as well…"

After all, Young Master Albion was also recorded as an Official Hunter of Silvercove Hunter Association Branch…
