I was given a special invitation from the Blacklist Hunters Club Unlimited. I knew when I joined that it was the only organization that could even begin to fill my special needs. You see I'm a hunter. Not your everyday garden variety who can be satisfied with a deer or a bear skin rug. Nope all that was childplay to me. My appetite had grown to monstrous proportions. Even the likes of White Tigers and Rhinos no longer satisfied my needs. There was one creature that I wanted to bag. It was so rare that no one had ever captured nor killed one. This is the reason I paid BHCU a cool $4 Million just to have one shot at bagging this creature. What creature could possibly be worth that much you ask? Why the Legendary Yeti of course!
