Chapter 115: Chapter 115 - 115 Ch. 115 Stanley Is Hunter

115 Ch. 115 Stanley Is Hunter

Richard led his wife to sit on a bench, settling Anxia on his lap. Anxia wasn’t rebellious and didn’t mind being treated like a child who couldn’t sit on her own.

Ever since she lost her parents, Anxia had been thirsty for affection deep down in her heart. Even though she was under Wong’s wing, she couldn’t get the familial love she needed.

Every time Anxia was about to enjoy a family trip with the family, master Yu would send his right-hand man to pick her up so she could be given rigorous training to turn her into a killing machine.

Therefore, receiving this affection made her feel strange yet comfortable feeling. She enjoyed the peaceful, serene moment while listening to Richard’s explanation regarding their marriage registration.

He didn’t reveal who had concealed their marriage status in an encrypted code, but Anxia could make it a guess.

“Your father doesn’t like me.”

“…”

“I wouldn’t be surprised if your father did it. I can understand him.”

“Why do you think like that?” Richard found it strange that his wife gave the impression that she was certain that Stanley had hacked into the government’s cyber system and changed their marital status data.

.....

Anxia raised her head to look at her husband in astonishment. “Are you your father’s son? You didn’t even know your father was a Hunter?”

Richard couldn’t hide his surprise, and Anxia pursed her lips tightly, realizing her mistake.

She should have pretended not to know her father-in-law’s identity! Stanley’s old vocation should be a secret. Not to mention, the older man had erased all traces connecting Hunter with him since he retired as a Hunter. Anxia shouldn’t know this secret, and she foolishly let it out to her husband.

“Ah, that…” Anxia tried to correct her mistake, but she didn’t know how.

“Anxia, ??how did you know that my father was Hunter?” there was neither humor nor tenderness in Richard’s voice. But the man also showed no sign of anger.

Richard wasn’t angry but couldn’t help but be on guard. To his knowledge, there was no longer any evidence proving that his father was the legendary Hunter. Stanley decided to quit his career and build a robotics company because he no longer wanted to put his family in danger.

In contrast to Cerberus, who never hurt people, Hunter ruined people’s lives regardless of whether the target was someone he knew or not.

Hunter accepted any mission, thus making him the most well-informed person in the world. When he decided to retire, many people wanted Hunter’s head, and he would be dead if Stanley weren’t so genius at erasing his tracks.

On the contrary, Cerberus took matters into his own hands and didn’t take people’s orders. The elite team had enemies out there, but many also supported this team. Because what Cerberus was doing was totally against Hunter. Cerberus defended the ‘scapegoat’ victim and provided evidence to put the real culprits in jail.

Unfortunately, Cerberus was not around when someone used Anxia’s father as a scapegoat and died in prison. No one like the Cerberus team was willing to help Anxia. It wouldn’t be a surprise if Anxia never thought about the possibility that Richard was a Cerberus because the characters of Cerberus and Hunter were contrasting.

Anxia wasn’t planning to reveal herself, knowing Stanley’s real identity, but somehow, she couldn’t control her tongue.

“Are you mad?” Anxia only realized there were significant changes in her. She was fearless, but she was afraid that Richard would hate her. And now, she was worried that Richard would be angry with her and started to avoid her.

“I’m not angry. How did you find out? Who else knows about my dad?”

“Meng Meng found it accidentally. At that time, she accidentally found a classified document saying that Stanley Calvin was a Hunter. Out of curiosity, she tried to dig deeper and….”

“And?” Richard persuaded his wife to continue her answer in a patient tone.

His expression was very calm, as if he had not been affected by this shocking truth. But actually, his heart was pounding like a hurricane.

There were still many enemies out there who had a grudge against Hunter. If his father’s identity as a Hunter were to be leaked out, not only his father, his mother, and even his two younger siblings would be in danger.

Not only that, they would involve the Alvianc family in states because Katleen Avianc would never let her twin sister in danger.

“And we found a home address. That house is where the late Calvins lived.”

That meant the house where Stanley’s adoptive parents lived.

“Did you tell anyone else about this?”

Anxia shook her head. “I urged her to delete it and remove it from the system of the organization we hacked. That way, no one would accidentally find evidence that your father was a Hunter.”

Richard’s gaze softened at this. “Why did you do it? You don’t know Hunter, so why are you protecting him?”

“It’s precise because I don’t know him that I don’t want to make enemies with someone I don’t know. But… is it true that your father is him? When I came to your house, your father didn’t look like someone who could destroy others.”

Richard pinched his wife’s nose fondly. “You’re talking about yourself, huh?”

“Tsk.” Anxia clucked in annoyance as she shook off the hand, pinching her nose. “I haven’t taken anyone’s life since I was pregnant with Lori.”

“So you’re going to quit your job?” there was a hopeful tone from Richard when he said his question.

“I’m still considering it.” Anxia tapped her chin with her index finger as if she was trying to think of something dire. Anxia’s attitude at this time made Richard feel exasperated. “Maybe I’ll quit if you answer my question.”

“Anything.” Richard is happy to answer any questions she may have.

“What is your relationship with Lady Q?”

“…”

Richard secretly glanced the other way while crying inside. Of the many questions that could be asked, why did his wife have to bring up Quinn??
