This wait lasted for several hours.
Hunter kept his eyes fixed on Dominic's residence!
He didn't know if it was because the FBI hadn't yet confirmed that the California highway robbers were Dominic and his crew.
Hunter cautiously stood guard near Dominic's residence until nightfall,
And didn't find anyone else watching the place.
It was worth mentioning that Hunter hadn't expected his actions this afternoon to inadvertently trigger a new skill: Reconnaissance.
This was undoubtedly a very practical skill.
After more than a month of exploration, Hunter had actually discovered it long ago.
Although he initially had to figure out these skills on his own...
As soon as these skills leveled up, even by just one level, professional information and usage techniques related to that skill would flood into Hunter's mind.
This included a wealth of professional data and practical tips associated with the skill.
For example, Hunter's highest-level skills were currently Driving and Repair.
When his Driving Skill broke through to Level 3, he felt a sense of easy mastery over the old motorcycle he was riding.
Hunter could even accurately grasp the motorcycle's condition just by the sound it made.
Then, not long ago, after breaking through to Level 4...
Hunter didn't just feel a sense of effortless control when riding the motorcycle.
He even felt that even if he started Driving a car now...
He could handle it with ease and even push its performance to the limit.
So, every skill not only brought a direct increase in attributes and expanded his private space for Hunter...
It was also subtly transforming him into a truly versatile superhuman.
Because of this, Hunter was now very diligent about every skill he triggered.
Waiting time was the most tedious and boring.
Fortunately, Hunter had his private space, where he had stored plenty of drinks and snacks.
He also had some books, allowing him to eat, drink, and read at the same time.
A few hours of waiting didn't make him feel very bored at all.
Finally, as the sky gradually darkened...
Hunter finally heard the sound of a car approaching. He poked his head out from his hiding place to look.
He quickly noticed an old-model dodge charger speeding in from the other side of the road.
The car expertly parked near Dominic's villa and disappeared from Hunter's field of vision.
His heart tightened, immediately realizing that Dominic must have returned.
However, Hunter was in no hurry to appear.
He was worried that there might be FBI agents, especially a vigilant Brian, following behind Dominic to this place.
He waited a bit longer until he was certain no one was tailing Dominic.
Only then did Hunter step out from his hiding spot and walk toward Dominic's villa.
As for his old motorcycle, he had already stored it in his private space beforehand.
Hunter's private space was now large enough.
Let alone an old motorcycle, even two or three cars could fit inside.
In terms of concealment, it was practically maxed out.
Walking quickly to the outside of Dominic's villa, Hunter reached out and knocked heavily on the door.
Dominic's villa, like most American residences, was a two-story wooden house.
The space in front wasn't large, with a lawn divided by a stone path.
However, there was a separate garage on one side that could fit two cars simultaneously.
Because it was a wooden structure, the villa's soundproofing wasn't very good.
Shortly after the knocking, Hunter heard a heavy set of footsteps approaching.
Before long, the villa's front door was pulled open.
Immediately, a burly man with a shaved head appeared before Hunter.
"You!"
Dominic recognized Hunter at a single glance.
Instantly, his expression soured.
After all, this was the punk who had tricked his sister, and an asian at that.
It would be difficult for Dominic not to remember Hunter.
While Dominic's unfriendly gaze fell upon him...
Hunter was actually carefully sizing up Dominic as well.
Strictly speaking, the two were about the same height.
In fact, Hunter might even be slightly taller than Dominic.
However, Dominic's physique looked a good size or two larger than his.
"Dominic, I know you don't want to see me right now."
"If it weren't for something very urgent, I wouldn't have risked coming to see you."
"Let's go inside and talk; it's not safe out here."
"I can't be sure if your place is already being watched by them."
Hearing this, Dominic's expression changed instantly.
He scrutinized Hunter with a cold gaze for a moment before letting out a cold snort and stepping aside.
Hunter turned to look around, Acting very cautiously.
It was as if he were worried about being followed.
Then, Hunter quickly walked into the house.
And the moment he entered...
The cold mechanical voice rang out in Hunter's mind once again.
"Ding! Detected host is performing to conceal true intentions. Automatically generating Acting skill."
His footsteps faltered slightly, but Hunter quickly covered it up.
After letting him in, Dominic cautiously poked his head out to look around.
After confirming no one was nearby, he closed the door.
Then, taking a few quick steps to catch up with Hunter...
He led him into the living room and asked, "Speak, kid. What's your purpose for seeing me?"
Hunter didn't see Mia, and he couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.
Seeing that Dominic still had considerable suspicion toward him, he knew it wouldn't be cleared up anytime soon.
He spoke up: "For Mia's sake, I already gave you the warning I should have last time."
"This time, I've come to make a deal with you, Dominic."
On Dominic's grim, stoic face, his brow could clearly be seen furrowing.
He stared coldly at Hunter, silent for a good while before asking, "What deal?"
"A few days ago, when I wanted to see Mia, I noticed a suspicious person around you guys."
"I noticed he seemed to be secretly investigating and tailing you."
"So, I followed that person for a few days as well."
"By now, I'm basically certain that he's an FBI agent or a police officer."
"I want to trade his information for a favor from you, Dominic."
"Don't worry, this matter shouldn't be difficult for someone like you."
