Chapter 609: 609
On a red-colored wooden table, an oil lamp emitted a bright glow .
Although it was much better than candles, Fang Yuan still couldn't get used to it .
He bent over the table to write something . After a long time, he put down his fountain pen and rubbed the space between his brows .
Beneath his hands was a yellow goat-skinned book . Although it's much more expensive than a book made from paper, it can be preserved for a much longer time after being specially processed . Furthermore, it won't be infested by bugs .
The words written in black ink could still be seen vaguely . It was written in the Da Qian language that had additional codes to ensure that no one could understand it even if it was leaked .
"In a Master clan, it's usually the female that's the leader… Its power distribution is similar to that of the Ancient Maternal clan, this makes it so people can't help but think of the Mother of Reproduction .
"In actual truth… based on my observations, this also has a connection to the purity of their blood and the power they wield!
"Let's not talk about children with both parents who are extraordinary beings . If we consider only mixed-bloods, it would be totally different if the blood was from the paternal than if it was from the maternal side . A fetus that stays in the pregnant mother's body for 10 months has an advantage as it's able to produce purer blood… Hence, within a Master clan, the position of the females are very influential, and they would usually get the rights to lead…
"The Black Scale Club in John Town should be part of the 'Night Demon People' in the Night Family Clan . They have high-class blood and also have human forms, as well as scales all over their body . "
…
Fang Yuan didn't lie to Florina earlier .
He was indeed a zoologist specialized in wild animals . However, his research subjects were of another species .
Back then, he had also designated Florina as one of his observation targets .
He was almost done taking notes; he still had a theory and proposition to write . To extend his notes, Fang Yuan wrote a large bulk of words about the nature of an average human's domesticated blood!
Masters got power from their blood . Although there was a risk of changing into a demon, people could overcome the various flaws after many generations . Their ability to make use of their blood was extreme . An outstanding person could be compared to the source, and this was naturally very valuable to study .
Moreover, there was also the example of Peter .
As a normal person, he could actually accept the Voodoo Corpse inhabiting him and even win against the chaotic will . It was very unbelievable .
"Next… My research focus should be on how a normal person can safely attain the blood of the Night Family Clan and produce batches of Masters!" Fang Yuan recited in a low voice .

In actual truth, this was also a practice for the Creation pathway . Needless to say, the concept and technical operations from within the practice could inspire him to absorb and harness original energy .
"With just the Black Scale Club, there isn't enough samples… I need a large amount of information on the Masters and their blood, as well as their direct descendant line for my research…"
He shook his head as he felt that his thinking was a little insane .
To achieve that, he wouldn't be able to resist the bites of so many Master clans . It was better if it was the Demon Hunter Union instead .
"Blood transplant… there must be someone researching about this amongst the Master clans…" Fang Yuan was pondering this when he heard a sudden knock at the door . "Mr . Hulk, it's time for dinner . "
"Alright, thank you!"
He happily put away the notes and went to the dining room .
Mayor Beetho's wooden villa wasn't bad . It was just as he said, there were only three people living in the huge house, which made it seem empty .
"Come, taste the horse sausage that I made!" Beetho wore an apron and served a few serving trays . After opening a silver cover, a fragrance wafted into his nose…
Fang Yuan took out his utensils and tried a piece of it and immediately felt that it was remarkably delicious . "Not bad!"
"Haha… I knew it!" Beetho drank mouthfuls of black oat beer .
"In those days… Florina's mom loved my cooking, sigh…" He sighed once . Seeing how his daughter, who was usually very active and talkative, became silent, he turned his eyes away suddenly . "Scholar Hulk, look at my daughter, Florina, what do you think about her?"
"Father!" The teenaged girl didn't think that she would receive a surprise attack, and she almost spat out the milk in her mouth . "What are you planning?"
"Florina's a happy, active girl!" Fang Yuan laughed, with a teasing look .
And under his gaze, Florina's face became even redder . This made Beetho's heart skip as hope bloomed .
He grew white hair from worrying about his daughter's marriage . Unfortunately, Florina was ambitious and had a slight problem of being unable to see anyone eye to eye .
Although he knew that his daughter's uniqueness was the same as her mother, and she even had a high position within a secret organization, Beetho was used to considering this problem from the perspective of a human father .

"She always wasn't interested in males of the same age . It's rare for her to be shy, I must make Mr . Hulk stay for a few more days . Even if nothing happens, it can change Florina's beliefs . That would be good enough . " Beetho thought about it, his expression became more dubious .
Bang!
Finally, Florina couldn't take it anymore and slapped the dining table violently, causing the cutlery to jump .
"My apologies…" Looking at the gaze from her father and Fang Yuan, she flushed for some unknown reason again . She felt warm and almost thought about fleeing due to her panicked state .
She pointed at Fang Yuan . "You… remember to come out at night . Our club director wants to see you!"
"It would be my honor!" Fany Yuan slowly said after he slowly savored the taste of the sausages and used a napkin to wipe his mouth as he listened to her .
"I'm dead, I'm dead, how can a man look so good when he's eating…" Florina silently scolded herself for being smitten and ran into her room so quickly that she left a trail of smoke . She then went to the front of her cupboard due to a devilish impulse to look for a dress with a dense flower pattern, one that had been missing long ago .
In the end, she was still absent-minded when she was going out, muttering words, "That d*mn dress…"
"What did you say?"
Fang Yuan was wearing his hunter uniform and was carrying Starry Night that was wrapped in a strip of cloth . He looked like he was carrying a piece of wood .
"Nothing, I'm just thinking about how to tell you some things regarding the Black Scale Club…" Florina said, a little flustered .
"Oh? Then, I'm all ears!" Fang Yuan smiled .
"We, the Black Scale Club have a few factions within it . My mom used to be the chief of a faction, a position that has the qualification to compete with the club director… Under each and every faction, there are also 'Scales Servants,' I'm one of them… Wait a minute, why am I telling you all of this?"
The teenage Master conditioned reflexes made her say that, and she promptly quivered . "Unless… you cast a spell on me? I heard that there's a 'pink book' going around amongst the Demon Hunters, with many specialized ways to confuse females…"
"I didn't…" Fang Yuan almost laughed out loud . His impression of the female horseman changed thrice in a single day . From being resolute and daring; to becoming an innocent dumb blonde .
"If all Masters are like this, maybe the world will become much more peaceful…"
In the midst of talking and laughing, he followed Florina and reached the front of a remote estate outside the center of John Town .
Aside from being located on a hill, it had a large area and even had a wall around it . If a trench was dug and fortifying works were performed on the building, it would look just like a small castle .

"Here we are!"
Florina went forward to the door and called out . As for Fang Yuan, he looked at the small castle, revealing a smile on his face .
The spiritual mind that he was chasing and investigating was inside this castle!
"Tsktsk… it's a Demon Hunter!"
The two people walked through the main door . There were no torches or lamps . It was dark everywhere .
However, in the darkness, a large bunch of shadows surrounded them .
"Be careful… He's very powerful!"
"I want to try the taste of a Demon Hunter…"
"Haha… All you do is talk, did you not see how Florina brought him in? He's a person the Club Director wants to see!"
Night Demon People had the ability to see in the dark, even though it was dark at the moment, they could see everything .
The night was their best protection .
No matter who they were in the day, no one could discover them at night .
However, this was only the case for a normal person!
"Hmph! Is this how the Black Scale Club treats their guest?" A golden glow flashed from Fang Yuan's eyes, and a powerful presence was suddenly emitted, like a typhoon, sweeping from side to side .
"Ah!"
Among the screams, many Night Demon People collapsed as if they were cut wheat .
Whoosh!
At this moment, Fang Yuan lit up a few Molotov cocktails and threw them into the stone lamp at the side .
The light from the fire instantly shone brightly, lighting up a disorganized square .
Many Night Demon People screamed and retreated back into the dark shadows as if they could only feel safe there .
Fang Yuan looked around and saw a few familiar faces . They were all people he saw from the town once .
Of course, they were mutated then, with scales and black horns .
"Demon Hunter… You've broken the taboo here!"
"There cannot be any flames here!"
A Night Demon Person walked out, "You're going to be punished…"
"You dare?" Florina took a few steps forward and glared . "This is someone who the director wants to meet!"
"Alright, all of you stand down!" Just when the atmosphere was so tense that they were going to start a fight, a middle-aged man's voice traveled over .
Florina froze and stopped immediately . She then made a hand gesture to Fang Yuan .
"This time, it's really us that neglected attending to you . "
A middle-aged man walked over from within a cluster of powerful presences, his face apologetic, "I apologize on their behalf, Daybreak Sword's disciple!"
He spoke with conviction . He was wearing a luxury silk gown and had fair skin . Many blood descendants surrounded him as if he was from a noble .
"That Legendary Demon Hunter?"
"The protector of the Hurin area?"
All of the Night Demon People retreated, even the one who wanted to punish Fang Yuan was silent .
"Oh… Was it because he felt the Dawn state in my presence from before?"
Fang Yuan laughed in his heart, "This truly is a wonderful understanding!"
After meeting the Black Scale Club's Director, he could confirm that he was Black Jack's master!
