Chapter 281

【If I really were a Sea Patrol Ranger, doing this would never put you at a disadvantage.】

Botio answered with confidence.

【......】

【Tell me, what kind of organization is the Sea Patrol Rangers?】

Dan Heng fell silent for a moment,

then began to ask.

【Ha, brother, that's a tough question to answer.】

【I can hardly even say we're an organization.】

【We're just all walking the Path of the Hunt, each with our own sense of justice, none of us particularly... welcome under so-called universal values.】

Botio's tone was somewhat dismissive.

【Such an answer won't earn trust—it'll only make your situation more dangerous.】

Dan Heng wasn't convinced by Botio's reply.

【I guess you're asking about some shared belief?】

【But the Sea Patrol Rangers don't need that. We come together based on a shared bottom line.】

【Don't bully the weak. Don't slaughter the innocent...】

【These aren't lofty ideals—they're absolute boundaries one must never cross.】

【As Sea Patrol Rangers, we care only about the bottom line. Whenever someone tramples it, the Hunt's retribution comes knocking.】

【And at that moment, the other meaning of the bottom line emerges—if you don't cross it, you can do anything you want. Understand?】

Diluc: "No oaths, only a shared bottom line?"

Diluc: "That's true heroism!"

Funa: "The Sea Patrol Rangers—this organization gives me the real sense of the strong aiding the weak!"

Funa: "By contrast, my family... I can't seem to see any trace of the strong aiding the weak?"

Hu Tao: "Yes, I feel the same."

Hu Tao: "Is it that this isn't truly the Harmony ideal—or has the family twisted Harmony?"

Himeko: "It should be... not everyone in the family practices the true Harmony ideal..."

Miss Qingque: "Tsk. To uphold justice, we Hunt are truly the ones who must step forward!"

Stelle: "Well said!"

Stelle: "So when will His Majesty the Divine Bow grant me some Hunt power?"

Stelle: "I don't need a godlike figure like General Jing Yuan—just give me a minor deity-level power!"

General Jing Yuan: "Hahaha, that'll only happen when His Majesty the Divine Bow recognizes you."
