Gyu Pol.

He was an exceptional Hunter with so much skill and talent that everyone in South Korea knew him to be one of the strongest S Class Hunters.

After the death of Sung Han Soo's father, the strongest Hunter in Korea, the rise of Gyu Pol brought hope to the people.

He was strong, but also incredibly kind to the people.

Chairman Sung noticed all of these and even thought Gyu Pol would one day succeed him and become the next Chairman of the Hunter Association.

However... the facade was soon dropped when the Zenith offered Gyu Pol an offer he couldn't resist.

Chairman Sung had thought he would reject it, considering all the actions he had depicted as a Hunter of virtue.

His teammates and colleagues all thought he would choose South Korea and fight for their country.

"This was all to climb the ladder. Do you think I'll remain stuck here when a bigger opportunity awaits? What am I, an idiot?"

In the end, Gyu Pol had only been putting up an act to rise to the very top. Once a different, more prospective, path opened up, he chose it without hesitation.

It was all for the power; nothing more, nothing less.

"W-what are you doing here?" Chairman Sung was soon able to move his body, and while he would have glared at his interlocutor for treating him in such a way, the dared not.

"What? I can't visit you anymore, old man?"

Gyo Pol sat on the chair opposite Chairman Sung, an air of disrespect and conceit flowing around him.





"Y-you..."

"Aren't you forgetting something? I'm a member of Zenith's Seven Pillars. As a representative of the world order, am I not allowed to visit your office?"

The Chairman realized there was no way he could wiggle out of the trap he had put himself in.

"I-I apologize. You are right." In the end, he could only bow his head and beg for forgiveness.

"That's much better." The satisfied grin Gyo Pol made brought him so much internal agony, but he endured it

Even this humiliation was for the sake of his country.

"The Grand Symposium is in a few weeks' time. I came to remind you of that."

"Y-yes, we are preparing our best to atte—"

"We hope your Hunter Association would have found our item before then. Inability to do so will lead to some... undesirable consequences."

Once more, Chairman Sung gulped despite gritting his teeth.

'They're already calling it their item. We were only supposed to lend it to them, and yet...'

The investigation concerning the stolen SS Class Core had gotten nowhere.

They had reached a dead end, and while Chairman Sung would have thought of it as officially the ruin of their Hunter Association, Jared told him to have trust in the plan.

That was the only reason he hadn't despaired yet. However, with the situation already reaching this point, the only other alternative presented itself to the Chairman.

"We will return the payment Zenith made for the item." Those were heavy words he uttered, but this was the only compromise he could make at this point.

'Raising the funds won't be easy. No, it will be downright difficult, but it's not impossible.'

"Oh? You do realize that the loss of the item incurs further damages for breaching our contract."

"I understand that." Chairman Sung said, his eyes glowing with resolve. "We will refund the money to y—"
