In a secret place in C City.
Chris Meyers looked at the masked man before him with a feeling of fear.
Not only Chris, but there was one more middle-aged man sitting next to him who also had a fearful look at the masked man.
How not, after the two had done a bit of chaos on their work, the masked man thought the secret plan they had carefully planned might be severely hampered or even be sniffed by the Hunter Association.
Chris Meyers, assigned to spy on Hunter's activities in City C through the Academy, has voluntarily made his cover almost exposed if their secret group does not immediately save him from the pursuit of Jo Fizer and his Hunter Association.
While the man next to him, Wang Xu Chan, who was the chairman of the Gold Dragon guild of C city, would probably be in trouble not long after his son, Wang Chu Gong, was in trouble, caught by the Hunter Association.
What makes the masked man even more angry is when he finds out that one of his confidants, Joana Nankins, is already under investigation by the Association for problems that occur in his family.
The masked man was worried that the matter would instead be related to the secret organization he led.
Brak!!!
The masked man kicked down the table in front of him. He then stood up from the chair and spoke while pointing his index finger at the two middle-aged men sitting with their heads bowed before him.
"You fucked it all up in one day! You guys think you guys will easily escape the Association examination?! I told you to be careful and never to stand out until all my preparations are done!"
Brak!!!
The masked man kicked at the poor table which then flew off and was smashed to pieces after clashing with the wall.
"Damn! It's all because of Joana's spoiled daughter who makes trouble just because a man is useless!"
Chris Meyers also stood up from his chair. While lowering his head, he spoke slowly. "Sir, there's actually something else I'd like to say."
The masked man looked at Chris angrily.
Chris only dared to take a quick glance at the leader of his secret organization and could see the anger of the two red eyes of the masked man.
"Quick say!" The masked man.
"S-actually, there was a hacker who managed to penetrate the network system that we had created." Chris said with a trembling voice.
"What?! Who's she?"
Chris Meyers hastily picked up his bag and took out a tablet. He immediately turned on his screen and showed a video to the masked man.
"He also made a strange object that could mimic what he was doing remotely." Chris Meyers showed a video of the exam that the hunter avatar was taking and also showed a video of a female pilot controlling it.
Without Chris expecting, the masked man seemed very interested in the video. The masked man even sat back in his place and watched the video over and over again.
Chris Meyers and Wang Xu Chan glanced at each other as they realized their leader seemed very interested in the video.
"What video is that?" xu Chan asked in a slightly whispered voice.
"I'll show you later" said Chris, also in a half-whispering voice.
After watching the video for a while, the masked man returns the tablet to Chris and asks, "Who is he?"
Chris who had no answer to the question immediately bowed his head. He has been trying to find information about the woman who became the avatar pilot he knew was actually the creator of the avatar itself.
However, Chris did not manage to get into the system of the woman's security network which he said was new and very high-tech.
Usually, the masked man will immediately get angry if the information he wants is not obtained. Surprisingly, this time he did not do that.
"If you haven't found out yet, find out from now on. You can use the computer in the room next to my lab so that your location is not known." The masked man's orders.
The masked man finally turned to Wang Xu Chan who directly lowered his head as their gazes met each other.
"Tsk... Your stupid son and stupid Joana's daughter should be married off. I wonder how stupid their offspring will be," the masked man quipped.
Just because he still needed financial support for his research alone then the masked man did not directly get rid of Wang Xu Chan.
During this time, the masked man runs his secret organization with the funding support of two wealthy Hunter families to finance all his research which costs him immensely.
Joana Nankins and Wang Xu Chan who each had high standing in their guild provided full support with the exchange of secret pills that the masked man made.
Meanwhile for the information that the masked man needs, he has Chris Meyers.
"Xu Chan's. If your son were to be investigated for the pills he took, what would you do?" ask the masked man. His eyes looked at Wang Xu Chan intently as if he wanted to see the reaction on the middle-aged man's face.
Wang Xu Chan lowered his head even more. The question was not a question he had to answer with his own thoughts or ideas. Indirectly, it was an order that he had to do.
If Wang Chu Gong were to divulge their secrets, then the Association would definitely be aware of the existence of a secret organization that had been running in silence for these 15 years. Of course the Hunter Association would definitely search for a secret organization and hunt it down.
"I will get rid of Chu Gong, sir." Wang Xu Chan said in a soft voice. He was forced to have to kill his own son if until the Association realized that his son had used the forbidden pill to augment the bad Mana energy that was strictly forbidden to use.
The deviant Mana energy was actually the first finding of the Sato Corp. discover when researching how a Hunter that has a natural awakening can increase mana experience by utilizing the Mana energy left over from the monster corpses.
However, because the Mana energy is evil because it affects the human brain by disrupting nerve cells, the results of the study were finally destroyed.
Sato Corp. had finally found a good system to supply the Mana energy that had been taken from the Dungeon monsters for use on the Hunter.
The results of that finding are finally used until now to add the experience point of each Hunter.
Although it still has side effects, but the effect will only appear in high-ranking Hunter-hunters.
High ranked Hunters who had gained many experience points naturally indirectly housed a lot of Mana energy in their bodies, to cause the nervous system is sometimes slightly disturbed by magic power that is too accumulated in the body.
Mana energy is also heat for the human body. Therefore, the more Mana energy one's body has, the more uncomfortable one becomes. It is not just the owner of Mana energy. In fact, the Mana energy in that person would also affect the people around them if they were to stay nearby for too long.
That is why normal humans are not advised to be near a Hunter for a long time, and vice versa.
°°°
The masked man tightly gripped Wang Xu Chan's shoulder.
Wang Xu Chan felt the heat on his shoulders.
Wang Xu Chan himself was actually a Warrior-type Hunter with an A rank. Ranked rare in City C. But, he could do absolutely nothing, not even his magic energy could protect him at all when the masked man gripped his shoulder, even if he only did it lightly.
The cloth under the palm of the masked man was charred to the point that the skin of Wang Xu Chan's body was clearly visible starting to burn with the heat coming from the palm of the hand.
"If you don't keep your word, I'll burn you and the whole useless Hunter in your guild." Said the masked man with a firm voice and a threatening tone.
Wang Xu Chan simply nodded his head obediently. Although he did not like it, he did not dare to oppose it either.
"Ronald Stewart and Wang Zhu Ming? Just because Hunters are lowly like them you can't do anything about it. One day I'll kill them for you!"
Wang Xu Chan did not respond to the support happily as usual when the masked man always helped her if she was in trouble. Surprisingly, Xu Chan looked uneasy.
The masked man could see the uneasiness in Wang Xu Chan's eyes and gestures. The sight made him a little disturbed.
"Is there anything you want to say?"
Although hesitant to say it Wang Xi Chan finally spoke, "Actually... There's a teenage girl who has strange powers..."
"Weird power? What can he do?"
"He's... He could disappear..."
"..."
The masked man paused for a moment before finally laughing out loud.
"Don't brag to save yourself from my wrath." Threaten the masked man. He gripped onto Xu Chan's collar and looked at the middle-aged man's two eyes furiously.
The masked man threw Wang Xu Chan's body and left the two men without saying anything more and entered his laboratory.
Chirs Meyers let out a sigh of relief after the masked man finally left them.
"You're nuts. How do you brag like that to save yourself?" chris taunts Xu Chan.
Wang Xu Chan only returned the ridicule with an angry look before he left the place.
'Well, it's a nonsensical thing not to look at yourself.'
