Anonymous forum or not, my search history now contains "difference between kinds of murder"boi im happy that were on an anonymous forum because i can tell you that you cant judge peoples capability of killing like that.
im a pretty easygoing dude, once im warmed up to people almost everybody likes me and i probably wouldnt hurt a fly if not necessary. hell i dont even kill bugs or spiders i always carry them outside. but if somebody threatens me the way hunter threatens the mc, may god have mercy on his degenerate soul becaus i have been coming up with torture and murder plots for years for a scenario like that. and there are a lot of people out there perhaps youve even met some who absolutely have killed somebody for one or the other reason and you would never know.
people are hella complex, killing as dumb as it sounds is deeply integrated into human nature. weve been murdering our way across this planet for tens of thousands of years. and were damn good at it to boot.
Still though, I get what you're saying, but there's still a few steps before you get to murder in cold blood.
But the biggest point I'm trying to make is that it doesn't matter if MC could kill Hunter, it's rather that it doesn't matter cause it'd lead to consequences either way that can't be brushed under the rug.
At that point it'd probably be easier and more likely to be successful to just out Hunter as the disgusting menace that he is.
