Ten hours after Jacob left the Lion Forest,
A small regiment of soldiers appeared in the area where an enormous crater was located, and some soldiers were completely blocking the vicinity, closing it for civilians.
A tall middle-aged man in leather clothes with a sword scabbard on his back was standing in front of the mutant body with another middle-aged man in a lavish outfit with long hair.
Two beauties were standing beside this long-haired man. One of them wore a tight hunter outfit while the other was wearing white loose robes and a veil to cover her face, but her intelligent eyes were looking at the mutant with great interest.
The long hair middle-aged man suddenly spoke with indignation, "You discovered this facility and didn't even bother to tell me about you? Are you rebelling, Rose!"
The tall heroic beauty was none other than Rosalia, or Rose, who managed to escape with her life last night because the mutant mysteriously decided to return. She didn't dare to stay here and directly found her father, the overseer of the City Lord, Ville Lionheart, and told him everything.
Ville was naturally shocked when he heard about that monster that couldn't be hurt with bullets and can eat C-rank mercenaries like carrots.
Although he was furious at Rose for keeping it a secret from him, he had no time to scold her because he knew his arrogant and proud daughter won't seek him unless she can't handle anything herself. And if she can't handle something, this means it was really serious.
So, he quickly contacted the Vice Leader Kite of the Star Mercenary Agency to come with him and investigate.
Kite quickly agreed when he heard there was a facility in this place, which means huge profit if they get anything valuable.
However, when they reached this place, not only the facility was destroyed by someone, but the monster was also slain!
Truth be told, when Kite saw the mutant, even he felt his heart jump and thanked the person who killed it, or this thing might really flatter the entire fief of the lionheart family, his agency included.
Rose pursed her lips, and she said, "I told you I was wrong. We have a more important matter to deal with. Can we talk about it after we found out who killed it and destroyed the facility?"
Rose had first-handedly experienced the might of this mutant and she never felt so much despair in her life as she felt last night.
Ville's expression turned livid. "You dare to talk back?! You are grounded for a year!"
He was really furious not because the facility was destroyed or Rose hide the truth, but because Rose nearly get herself killed because of some fame and wealth.
He loved his daughter far more than anything, and Rose was the apple of his eyes as the eldest daughter and most talented of his children. But he had spoiled her so much, she now didn't even listen to him.
That's why I was now regretting his way of raising her.
Rose merely pouted but didn't retort anymore. She knew her dad meant well and care about her and it was her fault, to begin with, so she remained silent this time.
Ville finally looked at the veiled woman, who had a gorgeous figure even more seductive than Rose. He sighed and asked bitterly, "Guild Master, please forgive my manner. Did you discover what this thing is?"
This vale woman was none other than the Guild Master of Apothecary Guild, Paula.
Normally, Paula never bothered herself with anyone, as she was obsessed with her research. But today she approached Ville and requested to tag alone when she found out about the incident last night from her sources.
Ville was more than happy to have her on board since she was an expert when it came to biological things like this.
Paula said with uncertainty, "First, it would be better if we don't touch it with our hands. Do you see the conditions of the trees and group beneath this monster? It is probably some poisonous substance.
"Second, whoever killed it. They killed it with an extremely powerful projectile weapon, like a gun, and then take its heart and left.
"Lastly, I want your men to send this carcass to the guild lab. I can only answer your other question after I examined it more thoroughly."
Kite's eyes narrowed when he heard the second point. 'A weapon that could kill this thing? Just who was it? I never heard gunsmith guild inventing such weapons or the agency will do anything to get their hands on it.
'I have to report it to the capital, if those gunsmiths were hiding such weapon we have to force them in handing it over. Even the King might get involved to get such a weapon, and those Gunsmiths won't be able to hide it once that happened.'
Despite he was shaken by this surreal event, his heart raced and a greedy glint flash past his eyes when he thought of getting such a weapon.
Ville and Rose had the same thought as Kite.
Suddenly, a soldier approached them.
"My lord, we found this stab in a tree bark in the rubble."
They looked at the dark, short sword, which was extremely sharp.
Kite couldn't help but take it from the soldier and then slashed it on a tree.
Everyone was astonished when the tree was cut like it was jelly.
"T-this, could it be the Titan Iron?!" Ville had seen titan iron once, and he heard just how deadly a weapon made with it can be.
Furthermore, this sword was probably purely made with titan iron, which was even more shocking.
"Just who were these people?" Kite couldn't help but exclaim out loud.
He turned around and said, "I want this sword. I hope the City Lord won't have any problem with it. In return, I owe you three C-rank missions."
He was also a sword user, and this sword was just too sharp, and he was planning to have it recast. He will be as strong as the Agency Leader with the new weapon.
Ville saw through Kite's intentions, while Rose frowned because even she wanted that sword of titan iron.
"Alright, I have no issue. This sword will only shine in the vice leader's hand, anyway." Ville agreed, in the end, three free C rank missions were quite a good deal for him.
"But…" Rose wanted to fight for the sword.
"You have no say in it." Ville glared at her and shut her down.
Rose resentfully looked at Ville before storming away.
Kite was quite content and chuckled, "She's just a child. Don't worry, she'll come around."
Ville sighed bitterly, "I hope so."

While the upper echelon was busy in the lion forest and curious about who was the killer of the gigantic monster, the man himself was busy in a close smithy room in the gunsmith guild.
Jacob didn't sleep or rest after he returned and directly come to the gunsmith guild to make more titan bullets and also service his titan sniper.
Lastly, he was making new titan swords. Since he lost one, they weren't as sharp as the hob troll's spear. He decided to recast the old one and make a new one with it.
This time, he made one side of the short swords into a full chisel and forged the swords into crescent blades. He used an ancient method to reforge these blades, which he learned in his old world.
He also put metal bearings in the center of two hits, so he could rotate them on his fingers to confuse his opponent.
Now, whoever was stabbed by these blades will know the true meaning of pain, and he was quite confident that Titan Spear will be chipped if it clashed with these two blades.
After spending twenty hours in the guild, he left silently as he appeared before taking one last glance at the building.
Then he returned to this house and the first thing he did was to start the distillation process with the gnome heart and left to take a bath and pack his things.
His only belonging was the titan iron bricks expect them, all the things he needed were in his pendant, which was already packed.
He also had to store his blood boxes in the big black bag with the bricks because he needed to store the bullets. The space was just too small, the whole titan sniper can't fit if he didn't separate it into two small components.
After he was done packing, he collected the gnome heart essence in injection and store it away before he put the mutant heart for distillation.
He wasn't planning to inject these heart essences here and do it in the wildness where he could hunt the rare beasts.
Jacob also studied the large map he got from the hideout, and it was surprisingly the map of entire rainy mountain ranges in the uncommon region, which was just the thing he needed the most.
When the mutant crystal red heart essence was ready. He put it in a flask, and stored it away, and packed the distillation equipment in another bag.
Under the shade of night, Jacob left the lionheart city without anyone noticing and started this trek toward the Rare Races Region!
