The Cold Blooded Hunter: Seeker of Peace
225. The chairmen's meeting
The incident in Surabaya was two days ago, and Jerry's body was buried this afternoon, minutes after we arrived in Jakarta.
I could see that Dusk still could not believe that I was taking out all the Titans that had ganged on me, and he returned to Kalimantan without much talk.
"Corn, explain everything." Rei put the coffee in front of me then sat down, "You might just be hiding something from the media..."
I took a cup of coffee in front of me and drank it a little, then put it again on the table, "As you say..."
I stomped my feet on the floor, and protectors were created around our table, "There's a traitor among the Hunters."
Rei's face deteriorated, "What does that mean?"
"Vein is a traitor, he's been working with the Dragon Emperor and plotting chaos in Canada two years ago." I raised my index, "You remember that, don't you, when the incident that happened to me that forced the Canadian Raid to be done, and mobilized all the SS rank Hunter available at that time to defeat the Ice Emperor?"
Rei nodded, "Yes, I still remember." he drank his coffee then asked again, "And was Vein the one who arranged the mess?"
"Surely so. Vein might have heard that we went to StarSam Hunter Academy, and Vein knew that it was possible that the academy would conduct a practice exam, instead, so he reported to the Dragon Emperor and made the Emperors fight in Canada." I tried to explain, and I think my theory is still gray.
Wh why? Because it doesn't make sense that Dragon Emperor and his flock came to Canada just to finish me off, but he already saw an opportunity to kill me when he met me in Jakarta, except...
"Vein is a graduate of StarSam Hunter Academy? Until he found out about the practice exam, he couldn't have known it unless he was a former student there." Rei closed his eyes, "The more thought, the more confused I became..."
The protector disappeared, and I finished my meal, after which I placed both my hands on the table, "Emperor the enemy has at least seen several times the chance to kill me."
"Hmm? Where the hell is that?" Rei raised his eyebrows after he finished his food and drinks, "One of them is the one that made the news, right?"
"Right." I raised my index finger, "First when I was a kid, I was ganged up by dozens of locust monsters. Second is in the forest, I was ganged up by the wolf monster. Third was in Jakarta, when I was attacked by the Dragon Lord the night after we became the official RedWhite Hunter. The fourth is in Canada. The fifth was in New Washington, which had made me disappear." I replied, "But unfortunately, their attempts to finish me off were unsuccessful, because I could fight them."
"Systems made me increase my strength by raising my level, and the stronger the Monsters I killed, the more EXP I gained and the faster I leveled up." I added, "The Ice Emperor and the Dragon Emperor sending the God-Lords to finish me off will only make me develop even stronger."
"In short, you're improving that fast because you're a container, right?" Rei asked, "And your strength is definitely not just the strength of the Flame Emperor alone, right?"
"Well, that's how it is." I stood up, "After coming home from New Washington, I'll explain it again. For a while you have to keep RedWhite and Indonesia from the Monster."
"I'm confident in your abilities and strength, so don't let me down." I pat Rei on the shoulder, "That's all my orders."

New Washington hasn't changed at all, it's still the same in my eyes. But this time, the airport situation felt even more tense.
The medium-sized planes, with the state flag on the part of the plane, made me believe that the other chairman of the Hunter organization had arrived before me.
In addition, the citywide cordon was also tightening, even as I saw Kyle, Jake, Floria, Carroline, Don, and the many Hunters I knew were patrolling.
"Just say that the pilot of the plane doesn't count. If it counts, yes I'm with the pilot of my plane." I replied briefly.
"Long "Oh" sounded, and I raised my shoulders, I then focused on staring at the streets again.
It did not take long, the taxi finally stopped in front of the StarSam headquarters, more precisely the headquarters that was previously destroyed, is now being built.
"A moment, I'll check the map again." The cab driver said, and I saw him slide the screen next to the steering wheel, before he ran the taxi again.
New Washington has almost recovered a little bit more, and I'm sure it's all thanks to instructions from Tom and Carroline.
I leaned my back against the back of the chair, was the view of the ruined city a regular thing at this time? Will in the future, the view of the ruined city be just a memory?
In wartime, the sight of the city being destroyed was common, and this time the same thing happened again...
It all feels like a cycle that will keep repeating, which means chaos is coming, for sure...

"Yoo, welcome to the chairman of the youngest Hunter organization in the world." William bowed in front of me, and I silently looked at him.
Hey, hey, hey! Why are you bowing so?!
"At the age of fifteen already in full command at RedWhite, the Hunter organization that controlled the entire southeast Asia, it was the greatest achievement one could make at such a young age." Mir drank something from his cup, "Your abilities are now more equal to all of us..."
Not only more equal, I might have been equivalent to one of the SS Hunter rank, even I might have been stronger than William who was said to be the strongest SS rank Hunter.
"There's a lot of things going on lately..." Tom put down his phone, and everyone in the room took their seats.
I saw everyone, and everyone I knew. There's Yuuki, Mir, William, John, Al, Marie, and lastly Tom.
I sighed, then I took my seat and sat behind the table.
"As planned, all the heads of the strongest Hunter organizations are gathered here." Tom turned off the light, remaining the light from the window alone, "So, this is the result of my journey in the world of the Monsters."

Huh huh? Tom went to another world?!
