After the train incident Hector was with Ozpin and his inner circle along with Amber discussing over the mission.

"So now that the threat is passed I'll be taking the rest of my payment now."
Hector said knowing that the threat was definitely NOT passed. Traya knew that Ozpin knew that Traya had told Hector that Ozpin would hire him again... indefinitely.

Hector then saw Ozpin calmly take a sip of his coffee and he said,

"Perhaps but who are we to know for certain. Like you said, Adam and Torchwick were just pawns."

"True but it'll be a while before they strike again. Anyway it's time to pay Oz, I don't exactly do charity work." Hector rebutted.

Ozpin engaged in what Hector would describe as a minute long analytical stare since Ozpin watched him intently. Before he knew it Ozpin asked,

"Tell me Bounty Hunter, what do you make of Amber?"

"Amber? Just some girl who's very important. What exactly I couldn't give two fucks except that she's my ticket to a good sum of lien." Hector replied which Ironwood said,

"Is that all you see in her? Just a girl for you to make money off of?" 

"Your not one to talk Mr. I-let-terrorists-steal-my-mechs. But hey... who hired me in the first place?"

Hector replied which Glynda responded.
"Your methods and actions have now reached the Vale Council since you and team RWBY blew up a entire service tunnel that was packed with Grimm."

"Hey better outside the kingdom that in the middle of the city. Or do you want me to open the tunnel again?" Hector said sarcastically.

Ozpin then chuckled a little before he said,
"That won't be necessary however how did you manage to get Roman and Neo to work for you?"

Hector then in turn said,
"I've got my ways."

Ozpin then took another sip of his cup and said,
"So now that this is over what do you plan on doing now?"

"Oh just a little bit of this and little bit of that." Hector replied not wanting to say what his plan was which was clear as day.

Then Qrow finally decided to talk.

"Seeing your hands bandaged up I'm guessing the White Fang out up a good fight?"

Hector then looked down at his hands. There were a bandage here and a bandage there but on the palm of his left hand was wrapped up.

"Just the lieutenant. The rest were easy pickings." Hector replied before reaching into his coat to show them the lieutenant's mask that had bits of metal melted on it.

"You really need to get your head checked." Qrow said before taking a swig of his flask.

"How many do you even have at this point??" Ironwood said in somewhat confusion/shock.

Qrow then said,
"I've seen his little collection and trust me. It's like seeing a hunter put his game up on the fireplace."

Hector then put the mask back into his coat before saying,
"So if you would be so kind as to deliver the lien to the account I'll be on my very way."

Ozpin then hummed in response before asking,
"You know I find your injuries interesting."

"Excuse me?" Hector said wondering if Ozpin had a thing for THAT type of thing.

"Those types of injuries are usually healed relatively quickly and between the time of your fight and now... it should've already healed by now."

"Weak aura." Hector lied which Ozpin raised an eyebrow and said,
