Meanwhile, somewhere in a busy airport, a tall and muscular man watched the sunset. "The atmosphere sure is different. I ended up visiting South Korea earlier than I expected."

"You're here." Woo Jinchul bowed to the man slightly.

Hwang Dongsu grinned. "Oh~ look who it is. Long time no see. What business does Korean's Hunter Guild, Woo Jinchul have here?"

"It's only natural that a Hunter from the Monitoring Division is here to receive and observe the S-rank Hunters arriving in Korea."

"Monitoring Division? You're still working as that old geezer chairman Go Gunhee's, right arm?" Dongsu taunted. "If it was me, I would've cut off his left arm, made sure he couldn't do anything without his right arm and taken over everything."

Jinchul was unbothered and ignored his words. "How long do you plan on staying?"

"I don't plan on staying in Korea for too long. I'll return after I finish some business. Don't worry."

"The business the man who had abandoned his home-land and moved to United States has... Does it involve E-rank Hunter Sung Jinwoo, D-rank Hunter Yoo Jinho and Han Seungeun?"

Think veins appeared on Dongsu's temples as he replied, "As expected from a member of a monitoring division. Asking something he already knows about. Will you stop me?" He sneered. "You, stopping me?"

"I'm just devoted to my job."

"I like you. How about you join the Scavenger Guild? We can treat you better than that old geezer."

'S-rank Hunter Hwang Dongsu. His brother, Hwang Dongsuk's has been in suspicion for murdering many Hunters as if he was cutting a lizard's tail.'

'The reason we couldn't start a proper investigation was due to his brother. They're truly brothers bound by blood. Even their lack of sentiment after cruel murders is the same.' Jin-Chul narrowed his eyes. 'Despicable trash.'

.....

After Seyoon hung up the phone call, he rushed to drag Seungeun to his car and returned back to their apartment. When they arrived, he ran around, collecting every single important documents and belongings.

Seungeun knew the reason his brother was in a hurry but still feigned ignorance. "Hyung, what's going on? Why are you in a hurry?"

His voice had a trace of panic and his expression look anxious. But inside his heart, he was as calm as a lake.

Seyoon stopped moving and with a voice full of grievance, said, "Hwang Dongsu is here."

Hwang Dongsu was an S-rank hunter and also the younger brother of the man Jinwoo killed when they joined the C-rank dungeon's private raid together.

"Hwang Dongsu? What is he doing here? Is he... trying to seek revenge on us?" His usual calm face look like it was at a loss and Seyoon couldn't bear to see it.

As an elder brother, he didn't want to let the burdens fell on his sibling's shoulders. So, he quickly assured him that he had planned things out.

"It's going to be okay, Seungeun. Just pack the important things quickly. Hurry."

They were hunters, one was D-rank while the other was a B-rank, no matter how people look at it, there was no way for them to win against the stronger enemy.
