Flashback:

Jerry had managed to return to the office building where the Bounty Hunters all gathered, the Spider demon having left Arachnè’s beat up motorcycle outside on the curb. 

He would have to take it to a scrapyard when he got the chance, but for the time being, he’ll just keep it in his car’s parking spot at home.

Getting off the elevator, Jerry taking a slow puff from his cigar, the Spider demon walked over and saw the body of the Wolf Hound demon covered with what looked to be one of the curtains that had been taken down. 

“I take it he didn’t make it?” asked Jerry, the Spider gesturing down at the covered body. 

One of the Bounty Hunters nodded, his face grim. 

“Yeah, what about Widow?” asked the Bounty Hunter, his voice not filled with hate for the Black Widow demoness, but worry. 

Jerry sighed and shook his head, the Spider demon crossing his arms. 

“Managed to get away. Sprained my ankle since I had to take her motorcycle and she clipped the front tire with my car” muttered Jerry bitterly, the Spider demon clenching his fists in anger. 

The Bounty Hunter nodded in agreement before nodding in the direction of some Bounty Hunters who were angrily talking about something. 

“They aren’t too worried about her, in fact they’re making their own wanted poster for her. She killed one of us, despite that guy being a jerk. Only a small handful of us aren’t mad about what had happened” said the Bounty Hunter. 

Jerry nodded in understanding, the Spider demon patting his shoulder reassuringly. 

“Don’t worry, you’re always welcome to stick around if you choose to remain a Bounty Hunter if my request is granted” said Jerry. 

The Bounty Hunter smiled and nodded in understanding. 

Before anyone could say anything else, Jerry suddenly got a call, so he quickly answered it. 

Everyone glanced over to see what was going on, having realized that Jerry was now back after having ran off to chase after Arachnè. 

Jerry’s eyes widened when he heard what the denizen on the other end was saying to him, causing him to take a quick puff from his cigarette before nodding despite them not being able to see him. 

“Right, understood. I’ve got a lot of things that need changing, so I appreciate you granting my request. Thank you” said Jerry, the Spider demon now smirking. 

Hanging up, Jerry gave a light chuckle, causing some Bounty Hunters to exchange worried and feared glances. 

“Press is coming. Looks like we’ve got an Overlord of Bounty Hunting, and it’s me. There’s gonna be some changes around here, and if you don’t like it, then you can leave. But be warned, I despise rogue Bounty Hunters, so those of you who don’t want to join my new Bounty Hunter Agency and follow by my rules, then you’ve got something to worry about because I will not let it slide that easily” announced Jerry grimly with a smirk, his fangs glinting as his eyes glowed a bright green.

Flashback end: 

Venno had taken everyone back to the Bounty Hunter Agency, the two Spider demons now sitting in one of the interrogation rooms. 

Venno had decided to tell Dexx to head home, so the Anglerfish obliged and had her promise that she would return home safely, to which she couldn’t help but promise with a chuckle and smile.
