arrived on the clean, tidy streets of the Upper District.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning back to glance at the Interstellar Hunter branch building, he shook his head inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never expected that someone had already paid hush money in advance, sealing off all information related to this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then again, with something as extreme as smuggled mecha appearing, Loren thought as he stood on the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people behind this naturally wanted to prevent trouble before it happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seems I'll have to use my own methods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing on the street, Loren raised his left hand and snapped his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fortune.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Loren broke off a branch from a roadside tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He casually tossed the branch into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The branch spun several times in the air before falling to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smaller end of the branch pointed in a specific direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile appeared at the corner of Loren's mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bent down to pick up the branch, then walked in the direction it had indicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd need to use this branch again later, so he couldn't lose it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren followed the branch's direction until he reached a crossroads, where he stopped and snapped his fingers again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he threw the branch for directions once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although in the past, Loren hadn't been keen on using this method because it was troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, with no information available, he had no choice but to use this approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortune often gave Loren pleasant surprises when he found himself in difficult situations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, fortune never let people down and never deceived anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially for Loren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>------------\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two hours later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several rounds of fortunate \"direction-finding\" with the branch, Loren quietly arrived at a dark alley in the Upper District.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An expectant smile appeared at the corner of Loren's mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a feeling he was close to his destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Places filled with such darkness were rare in the Upper District.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, such places always gave Loren some surprises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because anything could happen here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under fortune's guidance, after the branch pointed the way once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smaller end of the branch eerily pointed toward Loren himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Loren's expectant smile became even more apparent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seems we've arrived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren didn't bend down to pick up the branch this time, instead scanning his surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was finally about to uncover this secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Loren stood in a dark alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This alley was far removed from the Upper District's main streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Few people ever came here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because this was where garbage was stored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After looking around, Loren only found one relatively large trash bin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the only trash bin here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trash bin was about the same size as Tyrone's armored pickup truck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by its volume, it could hide many secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pungent odor filled the alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming from the slums, Loren wasn't too bothered by the smell of the trash bin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he looked at the trash bin with keen interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unconscious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will you crawl out on your own, or should I use my revolver to invite you out?\" Loren asked, staring at the trash bin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through his psychic ability, Loren had detected someone hiding in the trash bin—a severely injured person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The misfortune emanating from garbage was quite different from the misfortune clinging to a person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure struggled to climb out of the trash bin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His movements were very slow, each one pulling at his wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, the slow-moving figure finally climbed out of the trash bin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly leaned against the trash bin and looked at Loren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled bitterly at this unexpected guest who had discovered him and slowly spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I never thought you'd still find me. I admit defeat, just kill me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure's tone carried some resignation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And a hint of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren calmly looked at the figure, whose entire body emitted the foul stench of garbage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by the smell, the other person had been in this trash bin for at least half a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The filthy water in the trash bin had also soaked the wounds on his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren suspected that if he had arrived a few hours later, he would have found a corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other would have died from infected wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Choosing to hide in a trash bin while severely injured.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think you must be guarding quite a significant secret.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren smiled as he looked at the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, I wonder if I might have the honor of sharing this secret of yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Loren's words, the figure leaning against the trash bin brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face, covered in stains, also showed a hint of surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, his expression changed, becoming resolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completely different from the death-seeking look he had moments before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a gaze filled with infinite hope and conviction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're not one of the people sent to capture me?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not bad, Loren evaluated inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm just an interstellar hunter with decent luck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I happened to come across you while completing a commission.\" Loren stated calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure leaning against the trash bin pushed against the ground with his hands, shifted slightly, then leaned back again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This movement tugged at his wounds, making his facial expression contort painfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He can still grimace like that, so his injuries must be lighter than I imagined, Loren assessed the other's condition once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After adjusting his position, the figure slowly began to speak:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm an investigator from the Federation Energy Department...\" His words suddenly stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you can still stay alive, then we'll talk...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the figure was about to begin his account, he abruptly changed his tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real unexpected guests had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Found you. So you used the garbage smell to cover your tracks.\" A cold voice came from the alley entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Six shadowy figures appeared at the dark alley entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that he was about to obtain the information he wanted, only to be interrupted, put Loren in a very bad mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren calmly turned around and set down the case in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoever you are, you should die.\" Loren said softly as he looked at the figures at the alley entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The six shadowy figures at the alley entrance didn't stop their advance because of Loren's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they charged toward Loren's position even faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they got closer, Loren could clearly see the composition of their team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not six people, but five people plus a dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A very large dog covered with developed muscles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many strange aspects about this dog, beyond just being covered in numerous muscles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, it had two heads growing from its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On both heads, the canine teeth were huge and sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While running, both heads' large mouths continuously drooled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving two very noticeable trails in the alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They're the people coming to capture me. Be careful of that dog. It's a product of Federation genetic experiments, a war weapon codenamed Hellhound.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A warning came from behind Loren.\u003C\u002Fp>",1174,"2026-06-03T08:20:30.964Z","2026-06-03T08:20:39.668Z",1,"novelbin.me","239f3d87f7f74e32b1aa6d113752f23d8ea2647b3a4faff88abb15b0f41f8926","i-just-wanted-to-be-a-galactic-hunter-why-am-i-o-chapter-20","i-just-wanted-to-be-a-galactic-hunter-why-am-i-o-chapter-18",388,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-just-wanted-to-be-a-galactic-hunter-why-am-i-o-cover.jpg"]
