Nero, The Legendary Hunter

Chapter 124 - 123: Breaking Some Noses

Since she had arrived in town, Maia (Choko's sister) had only been angry. All over town, she heard praises about a certain group of people. It was so disgusting to hear that she vomited.

"Hunters of the Goddess of Love... Disgraceful! How could that bitch Choko have gotten so strong?" Maia broke up almost the entire room she was staying in and held her hands tightly in fists, digging her fingers into her palms with a deep look in her eyes.

Emily, who was closest and heard Maia's words, felt happy in her heart. Yes, she once despised Choko, but that was because she was tricked by Maia, and now, all she wanted most was for Maia to get screwed. Because of Maia, her life had turned to hell, having a wrinkled old man on top of her was the most disgusting thing she had ever felt.

Remembering Breno, knowing he was so strong these days, even in a city in the Nan Empire he was protected and treated like a hero. It made her feel a strong pain in her heart. Before she had been his girlfriend, but now... She was submissive to a wrinkled old man.

After showering and eating, Elsa said, "There's going to be a theater in town. Would you like to go see it?"

Everyone looked at her. It had been a while since they had had such entertainment; most of their time had been spent training, especially when they started doing dungeons with Nero.

Nero saw everyone's eyes, realizing they were looking at her. A smile curved her beautiful lips. "Alright, why not?"

"Hehe, hope it's good~" Honda covered her mouth and laughed.

Elsa squinted her eyes and spoke slowly. "There are many people from noble families in this town right now. Be careful not to offend them, but if you don't have a choice, come to me. I'll sort it out if that happens."

"Mm, I'll behave, of course, but I won't let anyone step on me or my friends." Nero glanced sideways at her. Her attitude was balanced and graceful as always.

"Good." Elsa didn't disagree. She didn't mind offending anyone, even if it was the Emperor himself, however, the fewer enemies the better.

Yui's face was fresh and adorable as always. She looked at Nero and said in her cool, soft voice, "Nero, I love you so much."

"I love you too, but why this all of a sudden?" Nero smiled at her.

"Nothing big, just felt like saying~" she hissed. Her voice was always mild with a touch of coldness.

"Oh, well, thank you~" Nero smiled.

Choko felt excluded, so she grabbed Nero's arm. Kissing her face, she said, "I love you more, Nero!"

"Mm, I love you too." Nero kissed her back, kissing her face.

"Get a room!" Jair couldn't take it anymore.

"Jealous?" Choko laughed, mocking him.

"Yes I am, so stop it!" Jair admitted, without the slightest bit of shame.

"..." Choko didn't answer right away; she just looked at Nero. Nero was wearing a snow-white shirt. She rolled up her sleeves halfway, revealing slender forearms on which she lazily rested her chin. Her sparkling eyes moved Choko's heart.

"No." Nero chuckled a little, "I can't do that~"

"..." This time, it was Jair's turn to be mute. He sighed afterward while remaining silent. Yui chuckled, still possessing her usual air of cold malice. Her face was exceptionally beautiful under the street and moonlight. 

They had already left the house. The theater was in a place like an ancient coliseum in the form of a closed dome. The bleachers were crescent-shaped, with backs, just like movie chairs. Elsa was a VIP wherever she went in the city, so she joined Nero's group. Their rooms were in the front row. When they arrived, there were some B and C Rank Hunters.

Everyone greeted Elsa respectfully. She was an amazing A+ Rank Hunter. It was common for her to be respected by other hunters. Sitting down, the play hadn't started yet; it had 10 minutes to go. They were seated like this: Jair on the lower left side, beside him was Breno, then Jana, then Honda and Jingu. Beside Jingu was Yui, beside Choko, and with Nero beside her. Last was Elsa next to Nero's side.

Nero reached out and cupped her chin. Under the lights, her eyes looked exceptionally clear. The audience lights began getting dim, and the audience was silenced.

A scene in the theater caught Yui's attention. When she whispered something to Nero, she felt a kick in the back of her chair. Yui frowned and turned away. In the dark, she couldn't see the person's face, but judging by the silhouette and figure, it was probably a man. She pursed her lips and warned, "Don't kick my chair again."

"Mm." The guy nodded without much sincerity; his attitude was cold.

Yui turned her head back to continue watching the play, but within two minutes, she felt another kick against her chair. And it didn't stop at one. She clenched her fists and took a deep breath. When she was about to get up, she found that someone had moved her forward. Choko got up from her seat, and a very powerful punch landed on the man's nose.

"Urghhh!" The man moaned. He didn't even have time to scream. His mind spun, then he passed out.

Choko looked at those who were apparently subordinates of the man and asked coldly, "Is there a problem?"

"Not at all..."

The group with the man trembled from head to toe, fearful. They dared not even look into Choko's eyes when they saw the man who had his nose broken and was passed out, looking like a drunk sprawled in his chair.

"Well, do it again, and I promise it won't just be a punch." Choko said in a cold, menacing voice. After that, she went back to sitting in a natural way, as if nothing had happened.

Yui looked at Choko with her eyes shining in the darkness of the theater. She didn't expect this; she was completely surprised by what Choko had done.. Nero, who saw all this, smiled.
