Although that night, with the woman who called herself 'Jane'...
...who was suspected to be the Killer Wife from [mr. & mrs. smith], he said the matter was settled.
However, Hunter also knew that things wouldn't end that simply.
Because, although Jane was the ace of an Assassin Company...
...in the plot of [mr. & mrs. smith], she was later betrayed by her own Assassin Company.
She was even hunted down by assassins sent by her own Assassin Company.
So this matter wasn't over yet; there would definitely be other troubles later.
Realizing this, Hunter left Los Angeles with great fanfare and headed to the farm he had purchased.
He was in no hurry to bring the mother and daughter, Tali and Maggie, over, planning to consider that after the matter was resolved.
Spending over 47,000 us dollars, Hunter bought a top-of-the-line Ford F150 pickup truck.
He planned to use it for hauling goods when purchasing supplies for the farm in the future.
The Ford F150 pickup truck is definitely considered a legendary vehicle in America.
In the nearly half-century since its birth, this pickup has consistently remained in the top three of the American pickup truck sales charts.
It even once held a super record of being the best-selling pickup truck in the entire U.S. for 27 consecutive years.

There are naturally reasons why this pickup truck sells so well in America.
With abundant power, near all-terrain capability, and full equipment, it is the ultimate vehicle in the hearts of American suburban residents and farmers.
Hunter also liked this truck very much; although its power was far inferior to the ford mustang gifted to him by Dominic, it was still quite impressive.
He bought the top-of-the-line American domestic version, not the watered-down version exported abroad.
It has the capability to tow four or five tons, carry nearly two tons of cargo empty, have a modified extended bed, and even run around with three or four tons of goods.
With such a pickup truck, there was naturally no pressure commuting between the farm and nearby cities to purchase supplies.
"Country roads, take me home. To the place I belong."
Humming a well-known American country song, Hunter drove his newly purchased Ford F150 pickup truck straight toward the farm.
The bed of the pickup was piled high with construction materials like wooden planks and nails.
Over the past week or so, Hunter had been constantly traveling back and forth between the farm and Pomona City to purchase various construction materials.
(ccbh) Of course, he hadn't forgotten that he was still being watched.
Every two days, Hunter would drive back to Los Angeles once.
During this period, the Los Angeles Police Department summoned him for questioning again.
However, although some powerful figures showed up this time and seemed to have increased their suspicion of Hunter...
...unfortunately, he was too cautious.
He didn't leave many clues for the Los Angeles Police Department to continue their investigation.
The Los Angeles Police Department did actually find some things.
The identities of Charlie, Rob, Left Ear, and Lyle as international thieves seemed to have been exposed.
The top hacker's whereabouts were now unknown.
It was unclear whether he had hidden in another city or had already fled the U.S.
Although Lyle was just an otaku, he was a top hacker after all.
It wouldn't be difficult for him to create a new identity for himself.
Incidentally, the Los Angeles Police Department also obtained a lot of surveillance footage.
They noticed that on that night, surveillance on the streets near the private hospital had captured a late-night motorcyclist.
And a few streets away from where Playboy Rob died, another surveillance camera captured a similar figure.
Because that motorcyclist's build appeared similar to Hunter's...
...combined with the fact that he also owned a similar model of motorcycle...
...the Los Angeles Police Department suspected Hunter once again.
During their interrogation of Hunter, they even pulled up those video records, attempting to bluff some "evidence" out of him.
Unfortunately, they underestimated Hunter too much.
The end result was that he called in that shyster lawyer he had worked with once before.
Since the other party had absolutely no evidence to prove that Hunter was the killer who caused the three deaths that night...
...he didn't even need to pay any bail to leave the Los Angeles Police Department.
However, Hunter was still restricted by the Los Angeles Police Department, temporarily prohibited from leaving California.
Although he knew this ban was essentially a scrap of paper...
...Hunter just happened to need to deal with the Killer Wife and the retaliation from the Assassin Company behind her recently.
Therefore, he really didn't plan on leaving California for the time being.
The farm was reached soon!
Hunter's farm was in a very remote location in a corner of Pomona City, mostly situated at the foot of the mountains.
Nearby, adjacent to the farm he bought, were three other similarly small farms.
Hunter actually wanted to take the initiative to visit, but he unexpectedly found that the three farms were covered in poorly growing pasture grass.
There were no livestock or people tending the farms; it seemed they were bought solely as land investments and were currently lying fallow.
Land investment has always been regarded as one of the safest and most stable investments in America.
Generally, the overall value of a farm increases by at least two to three percent annually.
Thus, in America, many wealthy people invest in forest lands and farms and then simply plant some pasture grass or crops that don't deplete soil fertility while letting the land lie fallow.
Some wealthy people don't even harvest during the pasture and crop harvest seasons.
They let them wither and die, eventually turning into fertilizer to be absorbed by the soil.
The temporary absence of other farmers nearby was convenient for Hunter.
This was one of the reasons why he dared to enter and exit the farm so boldly.
Recently, with his keen senses, Hunter could still feel someone monitoring him.
Among them were people from the Los Angeles Police Department, whom he had spotted many times.
There were also those better at hiding, whose positions even Hunter couldn't determine.
He suspected that even if it wasn't the Killer Wife...
...it must be a new assassin sent by the Assassin Company behind her to deal with him.
Hunter planned to use himself as bait to see if he could lure out Jane and the Assassin Company behind her to give them a lesson called "A Painful Lesson."
For this purpose, he chose the farm he had purchased.
And he had been quietly preparing here while taking the opportunity to renovate the farm.
Now, Hunter was almost ready.
He was just waiting for the prey to take the bait and jump into the trap he had designed...
