[Thats right! He won against the monster that destroyed the entirety of Japan too!]
[South Korea will be safe as long as we have Lee Han-Yeol Hunter-nim!]
[What are the government and association doing right now?!]
[They should pressure Lee Han-Yeol to guarantee our safety right now!]
[Yes, he should guarantee our safety!]
They said heroes were born during difficult times, and that proved true as the entire nation clamored for Han-Yeol.
The people were afraid that Han-Yeol might abandon them when a monster like Craspio appeared in South Korea. They knew very well, from witnessing Japan burn to the ground, that the same fate could befall South Korea if no one stepped up to defeat a monster of the same caliber.
Japan, being susceptible to numerous earthquakes and other natural disasters, had already purchased vast areas of land in both Australia and Canada as a contingency plan to evacuate the entire country. Thanks to this foresight, they were able to start anew by relocating their entire nation to Australia and Canada.
However, the same could not be said for South Korea. They neither possessed lands overseas nor had any evacuation plan in place. Well, technically, they did have some land in Chile, but it was deemed a useless wasteland.
South Koreans feared they would fare worse than the Japanese in the event of a disaster, potentially ending up aimlessly wandering without a place to call home.
Thus, fear and anxiety among the general populace grew day by day, with all eyes now focused on Han-Yeol alone.

In the basement of the Hunters Association building.
Knock Knock Knock
The Hunters Association building officially did not have a basement floor, and even the official website of the Hunters Association showed that the building started from the first floor up. However, it was not unusual for an organization like the Hunters Association, which raked in tons of money every single second and was almost as powerful as the government itself, to hack a few secret rooms in their building.
"Heavy" was the best word to describe the atmosphere within the meeting room located in the secretive basement floor of the associations building.
The man seated at the head of the meeting table looked quite disturbed as he asked the man sitting beside him, Have we received a response yet?
No, we are yet to receive a response and neither have we received any signal from them, the man replied.
The man couldn't help but inwardly cuss, Damn it! Why are you asking that of me?!
It was the other side that was not calling, so what was he supposed to do about it? Unfortunately, an office worker like him did not have the liberty to express how he felt. He knew very well how things were going to end for him if he spoke up, so he decided to keep his mouth shut.
Damn it What is our organization doing right now?
The man seated at the head of the table was none other than the current chairman of the Hunters Association, Woo Jin-Cheon.
Tap Tap Tap Tap Tap
He anxiously tapped his finger on the table. This was a habit he displayed whenever he was in a bad mood.
Beep! Beep!
Hmm?
Oh! We have finally received a signal, chairman-nim!New novel chapters are published on
Alright! Lets go, baby!
Chairman Woo Jin-Cheon was the head of the most powerful organization in the country, which indirectly meant he was one of the most influential figures in the country too. However, the way he acted like a kid whenever he was happy was truly unbefitting of someone of such status.
A lot of people went missing in Mexico every year, but that was never an issue over there. The reason was that Mexico had one of the highest birth rates in the world at 4.25 babies per capita, and the government was in cahoots with the cartels, which were mostly responsible for these disappearances.
In the first place, the country was already infamous for kidnappings and disappearances, so nobody really cared if a few people went missing or not. This was the reason Dr. Santinora could not bring himself to leave Mexico and built three major drug cartels to help fund and supply his research with test subjects.
[Enough, Dr. Santinora. Show us the reason why I have called you today.]
[Woohee! Alright!]
Clap! Clap!
Dr. Santinora clapped twice, and a large door located in the meeting room opened.
Whiiiing!
This place might be created through Yulias hologram ability, but this place actually existed in real life. As a matter of fact, this was one of the hidden bases of the Freemasons, and it was also the place where Dr. Santinoras creations were safely stored.
The door opened, and a group of creatures walked in.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
T-That is!
The meeting room grew rowdy once again, but this time, it was much rowdier than a while ago. It was possible to judge from their reactions alone just how shocking the creatures that emerged from the door were.
M-Mister Freemason! W-What in the world is going on here?! Chairman Woo Jin-Cheon asked while trying his best to stop his voice from quavering.
However, Mister Freemason was not affected by Chairman Woo Jin-Cheons reaction. Instead, Mister Freemason nonchalantly asked in response.
[Why? Is there a problem?]
Bam!
These are our Purple Rose raid party members who got ambushed last time! Chairman Woo Jin-Cheon slammed his fist on the table and shouted in anger.
He might act aloof and childish at times, but he knew his boundaries in the Freemason. However, what he saw this time was so shocking that even he ended up slamming his fist on the table out of anger. What was going to happen if the people found out about this? It was not going to end with his life alone, and he was certain the aftermath was going to be extremely difficult to control.
Chairman Woo Jin-Cheon was not particularly talented or anything, but his ability to slip out of tricky situations was probably second to none. However, even he was not confident of getting himself out of this mess if this barbaric act came to light.
Master Hee-Yun is going to kill me if this gets discovered
The fact that he was a member of an organization that abducted and ran experiments on Hunters was more than enough reason to be hunted down by Hunters. Such barbaric acts were a direct challenge to the Hunters and could be considered as treason.
On top of that, the fact that he was the chairman of the Hunters Association only made it worse! That was the reason Chairman Woo Jin-Cheon, who did not act up during the meeting, suddenly slammed his fist on the table and raised his voice.
[Pathetic.]
W-What?!
Chairman Woo Jin-Cheons outburst was silenced by a single word, and he was immediately reminded of what kind of problem he just caused.
[Who told you to speak without my permission?]
Keuk!
Chairman Woo Jin-Cheon might be Woo Han-Jongs grandson, but that did not mean he was the First Hunter, Woo Han-Jong. Woo Jin-Cheon was an A Rank Hunter at best, and he was just one of the many A Rank Hunters within the Freemason. It did not matter that he was the chairman of South Koreas Hunters Association, as South Korea was not very influential on the international stage, which was another reason why his status within the Freemason was so low, to begin with.
In the end, the A Rank Hunter, Woo Jin-Cheon, ended up shrieking in horror them oment Mister Freemason unleashed his aura.
