After seeing off the neighbor's wife, who had come again with good intentions to offer warmth, Hunter lay lazily on his bed.
Over the past week or so, his life had been dull and simple.
Even though everything was going his way, Hunter inevitably felt a bit bored after living like this for too long.
"On Charlie the golden thief's side, it seems they haven't realized how difficult Steve is yet."
"With Charlie's calm personality, I'm afraid the preparation alone will take some time."
"I showed a decent ability to modify cars before."
"If he needs it later, he should contact me again."
"As for Slate's Lockpicking company, I can't find it for the time being!"
"Her company should have a high level of professionalism."
"The clients are probably the Los Angeles or even California police and similar agencies..."
"So that side can be put on hold for now."
"I haven't seen Leon yet, so the hitman's plot should still be some time away from starting..."
"Next, it seems I need to take the initiative and resolve the issues on Dominic's side first."
It had been over a week since Hunter had reported to the FBI that they should keep an eye on Dominic and his crew.
He had also long ago told Mia his current address.
But over the past week, Mia hadn't taken the initiative to call Hunter even once.
Let alone coming here to see him or even staying the night.
Hunter couldn't be sure of the situation on Dominic's side for the moment; he had been busy upgrading his skills for the past few days.
Seeing that things on Dominic's side weren't proceeding according to plan,
Hunter felt it was necessary for him to take the initiative.
Brian, who had already gone undercover near Dominic and was waiting for an opportunity to get close to him,
Should also fulfill his duty to Hunter.
As for any possible investigation or retaliation from the FBI afterward, he wasn't worried at all.
Just look at Hunter's rapidly rising attributes lately.

...Lately, Hunter had triggered many new skills in succession.
Some of the old skills he had triggered earlier had also leveled up again during this time.
So, even though Hunter didn't seem to have done much during this period,
In reality, he had gained sixteen more free attribute points than he had a week ago.
Similarly, these sixteen free attribute points,
Were all added evenly to the five major attributes by Hunter.
Now, not only had his various attributes greatly surpassed those of ordinary people,
But his private space had also increased to fifty-four cubic meters as a result.
Moreover, Hunter's strength would continue to grow as he triggered more skills and leveled them up.
So now, he didn't really care about being watched by the FBI anymore.
As long as he could get his hands on that batch of gold that Charlie the golden thief was investigating,
Hunter wouldn't have to worry about money for a long time to come.
By then, he would have more time, energy, and money to properly enhance his strength.
However, there was no news from Charlie's side for the time being.
So, while waiting,
Hunter decided to resolve the matter with Dominic first. He didn't care about Dominic's life or death, but he had to ensure Mia's safety.
The next day, after waking up,
Hunter quickly drove to the parts store he had visited before.
He purchased some more Repair tools, making the collection of tools in his private space more and more complete.
By the way, Hunter also looked around the shop, but to his surprise, he didn't see Brian.
He asked a clerk on duty that day a few questions.
Only then did he realize he had come at an inconvenient time, because today happened to be Brian's day off.
So today, Brian didn't come to work.
But even though he didn't see Brian, confirming that he was still working here was enough.
So, after leaving the parts store with the purchased tools,
Hunter found a secluded place and stuffed all the newly purchased tools into his private space.
After doing this, he immediately started the car and headed towards Dominic's house!
When he dropped Mia off last time, Hunter had already memorized Dominic's residence.
He wasn't sure if Brian was currently at Mia's coffee shop, looking for a chance to get close to Dominic.
So the safest move was to go directly to Dominic's residence to stake it out and wait.
Near Dominic's residence, Hunter found a relatively hidden spot and began to wait patiently.
Soon, it became dark...
