“Grandmaster!!”

【𝐌𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞!!】

Benedict Ackerman opened his arms wide to embrace Pre, and Pre also spread his wings and hugged him.

Anyone who saw them would have thought they were a long-lost family reunited.

“I brought you the most famous German homemade sausages! I also brought you the German beer you often drank, Grandmaster!”

【𝐀𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞! 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐩 𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲!】

“Thank you! I will serve you diligently!”

So noisy.

Siwoo openly frowned.

The number of idiots had increased from one to two.

“Your name is Benedict, right? What brings you to Korea?”

Siwoo asked casually, as the other person looked young.

He would either fight or leave if things went wrong.

“Yes! You remember my name! I came here to learn from Master!”

“. . . Master?”

“Grandmaster and Master.”

Benedict pointed at Pre and Siwoo with a big smile.

Pre looked very pleased and flapped his wings, while Siwoo thought about calling Rolf Bangenheimer soon.

“I won’t stop you, but don’t expect to actually learn anything.”

“Yes! I will learn on my own!”

【𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐲, 𝐦𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞. 𝐇𝐞’𝐬 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐰𝐚𝐲. 𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲.】

“Wow~! Really?! Thank you, Grandmaster!”

Siwoo clicked his tongue inwardly and walked out of the tent.

‘𝘏𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘴 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘮 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘦’𝘴 𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘦𝘥 2𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘎𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺, 𝘴𝘰 𝘩𝘦’𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢 𝘵𝘰𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘴.’

He turned to the people who were waiting for him.

“Have you cleaned up the A+ rank Gate?”

“Yes, Master. Hunter Choi Sung-il, Hunter Lee Ye-ji, and Hunter Gi Il-lyeon are cleaning up the site.”

“No major casualties?”

“Hahaha! Even the guys who went into the S-rank Gate came out alive, so how could anyone get hurt in an A+ rank Gate!”

“That’s just your standard.”

Just then, a hunter from the Blue House urgently approached Siwoo.

“Hunter Min Siwoo, His Excellency is looking for you.”

“Why?”

“It seems to be about a Gate issue in another country.”

He handed Siwoo his cell phone politely.

“Hello.”

━Oh, you came out sooner than I thought. I expected you to stay inside for a few days.

“I got bored and came out early. What’s up?”

━An urgent request came in from Mongolia. They’re asking us to send someone.

“What kind of urgent request? Isn’t there an S-rank Gate there?”

━No, it’s been updated since you went into the Gate. An S-rank Gate appeared in both Mongolia and Afghanistan.

Choi Dae-soo clicked his tongue and continued.

━President Gantulga of Mongolia contacted me directly, asking me to help.

“So you want me to go?”

Choi Dae-soo chuckled at that.

━Kukuk. Do you think there’s anyone in the Republic of Korea who can order you around? But the Mongolian president mentioned your name, saying he received a recommendation from the President of China. I’m just passing on the message.

“I see.”

Choi Dae-soo added when Siwoo didn’t reply,

━Don’t worry, it’s not completely voluntary service. They said they would give you ample compensation.

“Is the compensation going to the government or to me?”

━The government will get a little bit, but the rest will go to you. Since you’re the one going and solving the problem in the first place, I’m just going to take a back seat.

“Of course, that’s like you.”

━So what’s your answer?

Siwoo hesitated for a moment.

He thought about refusing because it was annoying, but when he heard Mongolia, someone came to mind.

‘𝘐 𝘸𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘧 𝘩𝘦’𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦.’

Siwoo’s eyes lit up as he replied.

“Tell them I’ll do it.”

🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷

〈Pandemonium〉 4th Order meeting room.

“Ruslana is in charge of this event? Did she flirt with Tatar-nim or something? How did such a crazy woman get to be in charge?”

“Watch your mouth, Laban.”

Arumu quietly retorted to Laban without taking off her hoodie.

Laban spoke in a voice that matched his large size, like he was talking in a cave.

“Arumu, don’t you get mad? A dirty little b*tch with no skills other than her nasty temper is in charge of this big operation, damn it.”

“I’ll say it again. Watch your mouth.”

When Arumu activated her stigma, Laban raised both hands in a gesture of surrender.

Clang.

“Hey~ Sorry about that. The traffic is terrible.”

Just then, a short man opened the door and walked in.

“Kaise, you’re late.”

“Sorry~ Arumu. Laban, you’re here too.”

“Brother Kaise, you’re here.”

Laban hurriedly got up from his seat and greeted him politely.

“Oh~ Please don’t be so formal.”

“No, I should greet you properly.”

Arumu couldn’t help but feel strange as she watched them.

The two of them had met for the first time not long ago.

Laban was the most reckless and foolhardy of the 4th Order.

From the first moment they met, he looked down on Kaise and sneered at him.

Normally, any of the other 4th Order would have drawn their swords.

In fact, Ruslana and Jackal immediately rolled up their sleeves at Laban’s attitude, and Laban overwhelmed them with force.

But Kaise didn’t care about such contempt and remained polite and humble to Laban.

Then Laban, Kaise, and Arumu had to carry out a mission together, and that’s when things blew up.

Laban wanted to do things his way, ignoring the orders given by the superiors, while Kaise wanted to follow the instructions.

━You dog-like bastard! You just stay there and act like a cripple like you always do!

Arumu thought that Kaise, who had always been polite to Laban, would let this slide as well.

But suddenly, his attitude changed.

━Laban, are you saying that disobeying the superiors is worth dying for?

━What, you little bastard?!

Laban turned pale on the spot, and Kaise was put on house arrest for two months for assaulting a colleague.

Since then, Laban didn’t listen to the other 4th Order, but he followed Kaise’s every word.

“Everyone. . . You’re all here. . . .”

The hologram in the center of the table turned on, and Diakan of the 3rd Order appeared.

“Well~ It seems like you three are the only ones I called.”

“Yes. . . The others. . . weren’t called. . . .”

Diakan, whose dark circles seemed to cover half of his face, answered him in a tired voice.

“Diakan-nim, why did you give such a good mission to that b*tch, Ruslana? Laban or Brother Kaise could do it better.”

“Haha~ Laban, it’s not good to be so rude to Diakan-nim.”

“Sorry, Brother.”

Kaise pointed it out, and Laban bowed his head politely.

“Even so. . . I called you all here. . . because of that issue.”

When Diakan snapped his fingers, a large map appeared next to him.

The map was dotted with dozens of blue dots and five red dots.

“This is a map showing the. . . Gates that have opened. The red dots are. . . the S-rank Gates. . . .”

“There are some in Russia, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, and Afghanistan.”

“Yes. . . Arumu. . . .”

“But what’s the problem?”

“Ruslana is. . . dead. . . .”

The three of them reacted differently to Diakan’s words.

Kaise had the same calm expression as always, Arumu had a slightly surprised look in her eyes, and Laban smiled as if an opportunity had come.

“You see, idiots like Ruslana who only knows how to fight will mess things up. I’ll take care of it and do my best to kill people.”

“Watch your mouth, Laban.”

“Why? Arumu, will you join me? Let’s do it together, Brother Kaise!”

“Haha~ Let’s hear what Diakan has to say first.”

“I understand.”

Laban nodded and shut his mouth.

Arumu looked at the map carefully and asked Diakan a question.

“Diakan, where did Ruslana die?”

In her opinion, there was no country among the ones where the Gates had opened that was dangerous enough for Ruslana to die.

Because the S-rank Gates were opened in order to reduce the enemy’s forces by considering that ‘risk factor’.

“Arumu. . . where do you. . . think she died?”

“I think it’s Japan.”

If there was a place with the highest possibility, it would be Japan.

Because that’s where the 20 who had dealt with the S-rank Gate in the past were, and there were still decent high rankers stationed in Japan.

“Hey, don’t you know Ruslana’s personality? She must have gone to Russia, saying she would turn her birthplace upside down. I think it’s Russia. What do you think, Brother Kaise?”

“Well~. I think it might be Korea.”

Diakan’s eyes lit up at that answer.

“Why. . . do you. . . think that?”

“Well~ Isn’t the hunter who stopped Crowel’s plan and killed Jackal there?”

“Oh, that guy is in Korea? You know everything, Brother!”

In fact, it was stupid not to know, but Kai didn’t bother to point that out.

The higher the order, the more the members of the organization thought of each other as competitors and didn’t know how to work together or think for the organization.

Jackal and Ruslana were prime examples of this.

If they had paid attention to the hunter’s movements and even a little bit to the international news, they wouldn’t have acted so rashly.

Diakan nodded in satisfaction at Kai’s answer.

“That’s. . . right. The. . . two S-rank Gates. . . that happened in Korea. . . were both. . . stopped by him. The 3rd Order meeting. . . decided to. . . increase his. . . risk level.”

“Even I can beat someone like Ruslana, so why do you need to increase the risk level?”

Diakan remained silent for a moment at Laban’s question.

He hesitated for a moment whether to disclose this or not.

“Following. . . Lord Balok, Lord Orobas. . . has died. . . .”

“What?!”

Laban jumped up from his seat with his eyes wide open.

Not only Arumu, but even Kai’s expression hardened as if he was surprised.

“Isn’t Lord Orobas the one called the Hell’s Nobleman? Did he win a one-on-one fight against such a strong opponent. . .?”

Arumu asked with an incredulous face.

“For now. . . it. . . appears to be. . . one-on-one.”

“That’s ridiculous!!”

Kwaang!

The conference table shattered and Laban’s expression twisted like a ghost.

“They are devils, devils! Exalted beings who will rule over humans like us!”

There was intense resentment in his words, but there was also a rationalization of his own inability to accept the situation.

“It seems that even the Demon Realm will not sit idly by. . . . But I can’t believe that he has already defeated two devils.”

“Oh~ You guys haven’t investigated that hunter at all.”

Just then, Kaise joined the conversation.

He took off the thick glasses he was wearing, rubbed his eyes as if massaging them, and let out a self-deprecating laugh.

“Brother. . .?”

“Kaise. What do you mean?”

“I mean~ if you had taken even a little interest in that hunter, this situation would not have happened.”

“Is he that strong? Even if Lord Orobas is a weakling among the devils. . . .”

“He’s strong~ Very strong among ordinary humans.”

Kaise smiled faintly as he recalled the man he had investigated.

The one who dealt with the Nuremberg Ghoul attack and stopped the Berlin Auction Gate.

And. . . the monster who had brutally crushed even Xiaolong, China’s rank 2.

“Then shouldn’t we cut the weeds before they grow! Before other devils come out, let’s take care of it ourselves?!”

“Well~ Let’s hear Diakan-nim’s order.”

Diakan said, showing a picture on the hologram.

“The. . . mission that. . . I will. . . assign to you. . . is to. . . take care of. . . that man.”
