"Yes, I'm sure that everything feels connected." I said, and everyone in the room nodded.
I was with Frans in his room, while the screen showed the faces of the heads of the strongest Hunter organizations around the world and the SS Hunter rankers.
"Indeed, even during the Canadian Raid, when the Emperors showed their fangs, the Monsters felt more aggressive than usual." Yuuki said, "Yes, I feel like the same thing will happen again."
"What about your preparations, Tom?" asked Yen, and the one being asked seemed to sigh.
"Nothing, I'm still stuck at level 199, and to break through it would at least require hundreds of level 100 Monsters for me to reach level 200 and evolve again." replied Tom, "In the meantime, "In the meantime, hundreds of Monsters I've taken out, none of them have been able to make me reach level 200."
"It's rumored you killed an army of Monsters alone in the Grand Canyon, right? How'd it go?" I asked, and Tom's face was getting messy.
"I'm really having trouble thinking, am I able to keep the earth afloat like Grandfather Tang did in his time?" Tom looked down, before his head was hit by Leonard.
"Optimians! This pessimism is not your nature!" leonard exclaimed and he hit the table then stared at the screen deeply, in other words bringing his face closer to us, "Once again, we are now different from what we were before! I'm sure we can fight!"
I nodded, while the others nodded, before Marie said, "The Sky Theory may be discussed again..."
"Imagine it, the same thing has happened before, and the case of Monsters moving more or less aggressively is more or less like that" Marie said, "What do you think?"
"We must think again, what else has two years passed and no sign of Ice Emperor, Black Emperor, and Dragon Emperor appears again, so the slightest sign we have to take seriously." john said, "In addition, the number of Hunters has been drastically reduced in these two years, so our strength is increasingly drained just to overcome the Monsters who move more aggressively..."
"How's the academy doing?" yuuki asked, and Leonard cleared his throat and he replied.
"This 1st class student is only 15 students, and that may be due to the more aggressive Monster case than before" he replied, and I nodded.
"The conditions in RedWhite are more or less so, even more severe..." Frans looked down and his face was a little more sad.
Yeah, I read documents a lot about RedWhite's monthly condition, and RedWhite's condition is very sad.
Every day there is a Hunter who lost contact or briefly died in the mission, and every six months the number of applicants training Hunter reduced, even in July alone, there is not a single registrant, he said, be it at the headquarters or branch headquarters.
"They looked frightened because of the Monsters and were afraid that their families would die at the hands of the Monsters." Yen's face turned into an annoyed face, and I could only sigh.
"The point is, we must be prepared at any time, the Emperors are probably preparing at this time, and we must not let our guard down in the slightest, because attacks can come at any time without us noticing." I said, and this is the end.
"The battle against the Emperor is coming, and when it comes, I hope." I stopped, and I glanced at Frans who picked up the phone, as well as the other chairman of the Hunter organization.
Their faces looked tense, and I felt that something was amiss.
"What's up, chief?" I asked, and Frans glanced at me with his hand holding the phone constantly shaking.
"Your prediction is right... Emperor is again present on earth..."
Leonard put down his phone and he hit the table again, "Everything! Prepare for each position! The battle will happen!" after that, the video call was closed. The others closed the call.
I and Frans were left in the room, and Frans closed his eyes, and then he looked at me, "Corn, are you ready?"
Frans grabbed his suit and walked out of the room, I followed him from behind.
"Our main task is to tell the other branch headquarters chief to begin the Monster alert procedure!" frans exclaimed and he patted Andhika on the shoulder standing at the door, "Andhika, tell all the higher-ups of the organization to be on standby in their respective positions! Wait for Heaven's order to gather in the meeting room!"
"Good chief!" Andhika saluted her and she ran straight away, while I followed Frans to the garage, got in the car and went to the state palace.

"According to Monster's alert procedure, the president and all the leaders of the country will be secured first, but before that you have to calm down first, we the Hunters can definitely do it." frans said in a calm tone, but I am sure that he is actually in a tense condition.
How not, I just said that the battle against Emperor will start again and before long, the news of the purple Gate appearing in several parts of the world is heard in all of our ears.
"Sir Oka, I hope you can remain calm, the leader of the country cannot be in a state of panic, because it will affect other officials, can even make your people panic." frans again.
"What steps should I take?" ask men with white shirts, red ties, black suits, and white pants, in short formal wear. The man is Oka Danendra, the president somehow I do not know he occupied the position of president of Indonesia...
"Command us." replied Frans, and Mr. Oka cleared his throat.
"Frans Andreas, you have complete control over the navy, air, and land, you can command them at any time. But if you ask for it, then I will give it." said Mr. Oka, "Defend this Motherland with all your soul and body, Frans Andreas, with your flagship Hunter-Hunter..."
We stood up and saluted him, before Frans said, "I'll send some Hunters to look after you..."
We turned around and came out of the workspace, Mr. Oka.
***
The meeting room of RedWhite officials was tense, at least half of the people in this room had seen the purple Gate that appeared in the middle of Bandung.
Yes, the city of Bandung is only one of the few places in the world that became the location of the emergence of the purple Gate.
One advantage, the city of Bandung was destroyed long ago, and the city became a lair of the Monsters, the, and the chronology of how the Hunters were able to find the Gate was during an expedition led by a rank S Hunter named Jerry Zan and while fighting against the Monsters, suddenly a purple Gate appeared and made them retreat, especially according to the Dusk that followed earlier, he said he had seen the purple Gate and explained that the purple Gate was the most dangerous Gate, the most dangerous Gate, that's why the expedition team immediately retreated and notified the headquarters.
"Simplenya, we will fight." said Frans after hearing the report Jerry and Dusk, and the short sentence successfully made the atmosphere more tense.
"Okay, you calm down first, we already have the plan, three forces, the naval command will be held by Mr. Dito, the air force command is held by the Frans' own chairman, while the army was in my hands." I explained the plan I had with Frans earlier on the way back to base, "That's all, you guys don't panic."
"Two of you will stand guard at the state palace, precisely on the side of Mr. Oka directly..." Frans glanced at the two people sitting next to each other, "Ardika, Antonio, can I entrust this task to you?"
Ardika nodded and Antonio said, "Give us..."
While Frans divided the task to the Hunters in the room, I glanced at Rei who was the calmest in dealing with the matter this time.
I have a unique feeling about him...
