Oh, They're Teachers I Hired

"Ahem... Seriously, we're talking about something that concerns your lives, so be serious!"

Ian's face flushed slightly, but he quickly composed himself, his face tense and serious.

However, because of what Eluna had just said, my gaze involuntarily lingered on her chest for... half a second.

Wow... that splash of snow-white is a bit dazzling.

Ian took a deep breath, not bothering to look any further!

His gaze quickly shifted away, landing again on Aimina's graceful waistline, and he looked up to see her pale cheeks flushed slightly.

His breath hitched, and a thought arose in his mind.

Eluna's suggestion... does have some merit...

However, he quickly shook his head vigorously.

Bah! A mere Alien Witch dares to disturb my Dao Heart!

Are you trying to test me with this!?

No way!!

Ian's face turned cold, expressionless, and he held up one finger.

"One year..."

"This is a deal. If you agree, I can guarantee you will be able to remain in this world in the future."

"However, for the next year, I need you to unconditionally pass on all the knowledge and secrets in your minds to me and my team, and incidentally, act as our team's Think Tank at some key junctures."

"If you agree, then the contract is established."

"It's okay if you disagree, anyway... you'll disappear in two days..."

Ian wasn't worried that the other party would refuse.

Sure enough, upon hearing Ian's words, Eluna and Aimina exchanged a glance.

The two women were somewhat surprised by the conditions Ian offered, not because his requirements were harsh, but quite the opposite—they were too easy.

It's almost fair to say that they gained the right to continue living in the world without paying anything in return.

"Of course we'd like to, but isn't this kind of deal a bit too unfair to you?"

Aimina hesitated for a moment, then spoke softly.

To this, Ian shook his head calmly.

"As long as you are willing to impart all your knowledge, this deal will be beneficial to both of us. You don't need to worry about the rest."

A year is more than enough time for him.

Let's not even talk about the props we have right now!

Even... within just one month, Ian felt he could acquire even more revolutionary gadgets.

By then, the intellectual heritage of the Gandor Dynasty may no longer be important to him.

Of course... just because he doesn't need it doesn't mean Chrollo and the others don't need it.

The two women were unaware of Ian's thoughts.

After listening to Ian's words, the two seemed to be deep in thought.

From any perspective, the other party's proposal couldn't have led to a better outcome for them.

Thus, the three of them finalized their agreement.

Soon, the three of them landed on the ground together.

Ian stood in front, positioned behind.

Standing to one side Aimina, who was about the same height as him, with her hands clasped in front of her elaborately dressed skirt. Her face was calm and her demeanor dignified, clearly having calmed down from Eluna's ravings.

On the other side stood the tall, voluptuous Eluna, whose dress was even more revealing.

Despite her more mature physique, her personality differs from the composed Eluna; she is more playful.

As soon as she landed on the ground, she ran to Elina.

He acted as if they were old friends, showing no sense of distance at all, and immediately pulled the petite Elina into his arms.

"Eh..." Elina exclaimed in surprise.

"So cute! It's actually my offspring! Hehehe, as expected of me! Hey, sister, look!"

Eluna's face lit up with joy. She turned around, blinked, and proudly showed off to Aimina.

Elina couldn't understand the other person's language.

Being held tightly in the other person's arms, although I didn't quite understand their sudden behavior, I felt a great sense of security and warmth.

It's like... when you were a child, nestled in your mother's arms.

Ian hadn't paid any attention at first, but when he noticed that Elina wasn't reacting, he rushed over and forcefully pulled her out of her arms!

"Hey, what are you doing? Let go of Elina! She can barely breathe!"

Seeing Elina's dazed expression and the trembling of Eluna snow-white skin, he gritted his teeth and said.

Eluna grinned, raised an eyebrow at Ian, and laughed.

"Hey, I just wanted to hug my adorable offspring. Young man who saved our lives, do you have some ulterior motives towards my offspring?"

Ian frowned and remained silent.

At this moment, Aimina walked over, raised her small, white fist, and a phantom fist appeared above Eluna's head, striking her hard.

"Quiet down, Eluna, no pranks!"

"This is no Gandor Dynasty. Even if they are your descendants, they are still Ian's comrades. Don't be presumptuous."

Eluna covered her head, looking helpless, and shrugged.

"Okay, okay, I know. My sister's starting to nag again, just like always. Honestly, we're in a different era now, don't be so tense~"

Aimina remained silent, but turned to look at Ian and whispered.

"Sorry, this guy's personality has always been so awful, I hope you don't find it embarrassing."

Ian didn't say anything. Elina was awake, but her cheeks were flushed. She gently tugged at Ian's sleeve, but her gaze kept drifting towards Eluna.

She really wanted to say that she liked this older sister very much.

I'm just too shy to speak up.

Noticing the little one's gaze, Eluna grinned at her, making Elina's heart flutter.

Ian naturally noticed this scene.

In terms of bloodline, the other person was Elina's ancestor, and the two were close, perhaps even naturally so, so he couldn't stop it.

Meanwhile...

The Hunters had already gathered around, including King and Netero.

They all stared curiously at the two people beside Ian...

Their descriptions may be incorrect; it should be a soul entity, a solidified phantom.

"Ian... them?"

Jin scratched his forehead, unsure how to begin the question.

He didn't understand what Ian had just done either.

It's just speculation that Ian used some method to stop it from dissipating just as the other party was about to vanish.

So... these two guys are stuck in the Mortal World now?

If it were just a few of them, even if this happened, it wouldn't be a big deal.

But now, so many people have witnessed this.

V5 cannot possibly abandon its investigation into these two entities from thousands of years ago...

Given Ian's personality, he probably wouldn't agree.

This could very well cause some major trouble between the two sides...

At this point, both Kim and Netero had already anticipated a certain outcome that could be considered inevitable.

Ian had naturally anticipated this, but he didn't care. Hearing Kim's words, he nodded and explained seriously.

"They are considered instructors hired by our Dawn Organization..."

"The... Dawn Organization!?"

Jin Weiwei was surprised.

When was it established?

Ian glanced at him sideways and pursed his lips.

"What, do I need to report to you about establishing a private organization...?"

Jin wore a complicated expression, thinking to himself.

I don't care about your organization's affairs...

The problem is... your reasoning is so lame... it's completely untenable...

Netero, standing to the side, looked at the two women thoughtfully, and then slowly spoke.

"Ian, what are your plans next?"

Upon hearing Netero's words, the Hunters and Exorcism Team all observed Ian and the two behind him. Even Kannari Rin held her breath.

After all, they had all witnessed the amazing power of those two women, one tall and one short.

Ian stretched and said calmly.

"It's nothing, things here are all settled, it's time to go back and rest..."

"Thanks to you and that guy Jin, I didn't get a good night's sleep at all. Now that things are settled, I can finally go back!"

He was behind him.

Eluna stared at everyone curiously, then spoke to Aimina beside her.

"Sister, what is this guy doing?"

"He's probably explaining things to his companions..."

"Huh? Why does he need to explain to mortals? Strange... Are people in this era so peaceful?"

"Quiet down, just watch. Also, this isn't him. From now on, call him Ian, understand?"

Eluna wrinkled her nose, then waved her hand casually.

"Got it, got it. Seriously, if you like her, I advise you to take the initiative..."

"What nonsense are you spouting, you idiot!"

Aimina's forehead creased with annoyance, and her pale fists clenched involuntarily.

This younger sister always speaks without thinking, and she's never changed her ways, even after being beaten since she was little!
