Requiem Of A Failed Hero

"We cannot accept that."

"What do you mean you cannot accept that laws must be adhered to whether or not the nations are comfortable with them? The Laws that bind a hunter and also make sure that they are able to enjoy their privileges to the best is one that not even America can ignore. And so we demand a compensation of three hundred and fifty billion dollars or else we will be taking ourselves to the international court." Chairman Mok Jun-Seo leaned forward as he spoke to the ambassadors of the U.S. that were seated before him.

"And I don't need to remind you the things that will follow through if we go to court. Turner might not serve his time in jail but I am damn sure that this will affect him a lot."

"Hmmm..." The two of them looked away and whispered to each other for a few moments.

"We cannot accept this because that rule is only passive to a special rank hunter and as far as our intel can tell, the hunter in question is not even an S rank. He's F rank."

"Where do you even get that information..."

"Ha ha... don't you know that your country is like an opened thigh... anybody can fuck it anytime." The both of them chuckled at each other.

"Insult my country one more time and I am sure that your head will roll on the floor... with ease."

"Hm..." They looked away immediately.

"Don't worry, there is no stress in this, all we just have to do is show you that our hunter is a special rank right?"

"Yes," They answered with their voices shaking.

"Alright then..." The Chairman got up and adjusted his black suit jacket, then he walked out of the conference room, even though it was the association's general conference room.

"Sir, what is the progress." Director Hyun-shik asked as he respectfully bowed his head as Chairman Mok Jun-Seo walked out of the room.

"Get the guild president of the Rain guild on the phone for me. Where is that darn hunter?"

"Chairman, there seems to be a situation." Director Hyun-shik reluctantly spoke.

"What situation?"

"About an hour ago, the top ten guild presidents were summoned to the blue house... The Rain Guild president was summoned lastly. We don't know the situat– Director Hyun-Shik came to an abrupt stop as he saw the frown on the Chairman's face.

"Those bastards."

...

"So what is it going to be Hunter Mok Jae-Hwa? If you resist, subduing you will not be the only thing that is happening. We will also take away your guild rights. The Rain Guild will be disbanded. Whatever your response will be think about it well before speaking."

Hunter Mok Jae-Hwa sighed and smiled, they really planned this thoroughly.

He was willing to put everything on the line for Raith but not his guild. The Rain Guild meant family to him, everybody in that guild he would stand for over and over again, especially the high rankers who were early guys that stood by him.

He can't because of Raith, throw his family away.

"Even if I wanted to hand him over to you. Hunter Raith is missing."

"What do you mean?" The minister at the left side of the president yelled.

"He is missing... No one has seen him since his fight with Turner."

"Hunter Mok Jae-Hwa, lying is not an act that suits your noble self." The man yelled again.

"Why will I lie?" Mok Jae-Hwa replied to him with a stern glare. A glare that caused him to shamelessly look away.

"Fine, then it is not any problem to hold you in our custody until this man appears."

"Sure, I want you to know what you are doing. The hunter laws do not permit special ranks to be messed with. You will compensate me."

"The only case that we will compensate you for the stress and will be unable to touch this hunter is if he is a special rank like you have mentioned." The president replied.

Mok Jae-Hwa nodded with a smile.

It was amazing that someone who does not know Raith's origin was standing for him with all his life. Even though Raith had displayed a mighty battle prowess, it was reckless to stand for him like that because if Raith happens to not be a special rank as he had intended, he could lose everything.

But one of the reasons why Mok Jae-Hwa was very special in the heart of many people is that trust and loyalty he has. This wasn't just about Raith and his strength.

Hunter Mok Jae-Hwa would have taken the same stand for a rank F hunter as long as the person is a member of his guild.

WHIOOM!

A massive gate suddenly appeared in Min-Ho's living room, and the wind of the gate immediately blew a lot of things away, the small shelves, center table, and even the big LedTV sustained a massive amount of crack damage.

The most hilarious scenario was that of Min-ho who was currently watching TV drama and eating popcorn in order to stop himself from thinking about Raith, he was blasted away from the three-seat sofa as the gate appeared.

He belatedly stood up and peeked from behind the sofa, he was scared. If this was what he truly thought it was then that meant that there was a gate emergence right in his parlor.

'But the association said everything in a residential area has an anti-magical effect. And so it is impossible for gate to emerge in a residential area... damned association..." Min-ho gritted his teeth as he looked at the swirling gate. He immediately reached for his phone to report the gate emergence.

As the association agent picked up the phone, his eyes widened.

The next thing he saw was someone staggering out of the gate, tattered and bruised, he was blood washed from up to down and as he stepped outside of the gate, he collapsed on the ground.

Immediately the gate disappeared as if it was never there.

"Excuse me? This is the association line? Is there a gate to report?"

"Hello?"

"Hello?"

The agent on the receiving end of the call kept disturbing him.

"Hyung...?"
