"Why not? Look at them, they can kill people for money. What a world..." Xia Yuanfang sighed, his heart aching when he thought of his hometown.
Xia Chujian said stubbornly, "Aunt, in our Beichen Empire, the only people who can be called 'killers' are bounty hunters."
"Bounty hunters are registered with the Imperial Law Department and are permitted by law."
Xia Yuanfang came back to his senses and remembered that the Dark Night Hunters organization that Xia Chujian belonged to was a civilian organization for bounty hunters. No wonder she would speak for the "killer".
But in Xia Yuanfang's concept, being a killer is wrong, so he subconsciously wants to correct Xia Chujian's point of view.
She frowned and said, "What do you mean? Are organized killers superior to unorganized killers?"
Xia Chujian was amused. He propped himself up on the quartz countertop with one hand and sat down directly on it, swinging his long legs and saying, "It's not that I'm superior to others, but registered bounty hunters are the real killers."
"There's no bounty hunter with a case on record; that's a murderer."
"Also, the bounty hunters we have on file only kill those on the hunting list. And although anyone on the hunting list can issue a mission, they all need to be confirmed as killable by the Department of Justice."
Xia Yuanfang disagreed: "The Department of Justice has confirmed it? Then has the court confirmed it?"
Xia Chujian's face fell. "Aunt, you're just being argumentative. Of course the court hasn't found him guilty. If the court had already found him guilty, why would they need us bounty hunters? They could just put him in jail or execute him."
"Since the court hasn't ruled on it, even if it's on the hunting list, the other party can still seek justice in court, right? After all, the Correctional Service doesn't have the final say."
"Of course. However, those on the hunting list are doomed to die if a bounty hunter takes them on. Their families, if dissatisfied, can sue them in court."
"After filing a complaint, the local correctional department must work with the family to re-investigate the case. Whether the verdict can be overturned depends on whether the person truly deserves the punishment."
"Even if the person is found to be innocent after investigation, the bounty hunter who accepted the task will not be held legally responsible. Instead, the person who issued the task will be held legally responsible."
Xia Yuanfang's brows were still furrowed. "What if no family members file a lawsuit?"
"The court won't care."
The field of bounty hunting is really a blind spot for Xia Yuanfang.
