47 47 Negotiations? Schemes?

Meeting Room, Korean Hunters Association.

In the meeting room, 4 figures were sitting down at the table.

They are Go Gun-hee, Matsumoto Shigeo, Ryuuji Goto, and Tawata Kanae. The atmosphere In the room was a bit cold as Go Gun-hee's voice rang out.

"Hunter Tsugikuni will be coming in a bit. Do you care to explain the mess you have caused?" his voice was cold he was like a lion as long as you don't step on his tail it will be alright. But the people in question this time trampled all over it.

Matsumoto was sweating as he can feel the anger coming from Gun-hee. Kanae was fine as she didn't say anything because she knew what their country did was wrong. After some time Goto spoke.

"It was necessary to calm down the people."

Gun-hee scoffed at this.

'Do you think I'm a kid it is clear what you guys are trying to do here?' He thought and waited for Haru to come as he was the focus of the meeting. Both Matsumoto and Goto knew that Gun-hee isn't going to believe their reason. But they just needed Haru to believe in this. They will be able to get his help and the track record of participating in clearance of two S-rank gate will help Goto become a National level hunter as well. They can't let such a perfect opportunity pass by.

After 5 minutes the door opened with Haru walking in with an office bag in his hand and Jin-Chul following behind him. Haru sat down and Jin-Chul stood behind Gun-hee and said something in his ears that caused his anger to flare up but he held it down. If it was someone else they would've torn Matsumoto and Goto into pieces but he kept his cool as he wanted to know what they are planning to do.

"So what do you guys want to talk about?" Haru said after giving Kanae a friendly smile. She smiled back and this caused Matsumoto to smirk in his mind.

"We have to wait for another guest that will be coming here," Matsumoto said, and then the door opened, and an obese middle-aged man with green eyes, messy brown hair, a beer belly, and a thick beard. Everyone in the room knew who he was the Barrier Specialist Yuri Orloff.

The man came in and sat down with a bottle of vodka in his hands. His arrogant gaze looked across the room as he studied the people in the room and scoffed in his mind as he gulped vodka from the bottle.

"We will get straight to the point as we don't have much time," Matsumoto said as he presented the file to all of them present in the room about what they will get if the gate is cleared. The main prize was 30% of the final amount. The amount caused Yuri Orloff's eyes to shine. The national-level hunter gets 40% of the final amount. To get 30% showed how much importance the Japanese Association had put on this topic.

"So why did you call two of us here." Yuri knew exactly why because he was the one who proposed to have a meeting together. He then looked at Haru and thought.

'You will be my stepping stone this time.' He smirked and said.

Haru showed no emotion to the profit which caused both Kanae and Gun-hee to smile as they knew money was the last thing he will be interested in.

"Well, we want to be as safe as possible while dealing with an S-rank gate so we decided to talk with both of you. If you both accept it the rewards will be split between you two." Matsumoto said with a smirk.

This caused Yuri Orloff to frown as this wasn't something he knew then he looked at Haru and saw he didn't react as he sat with his legs crossed while leaning on the back rest of the chair.

"Can he even do something about an S-rank gate? The Jeju island monsters weren't even that powerful it was the hunters that were weak. " Yuri said smirking and the air around the room dropped as Gun-hee and Kanae looked at him with anger apparent on their face but Gun-hee controlled himself as he looked at Matsumoto. Goto was frowning but didn't say anything.

"What do you know about it you weren't even there," Kanae shouted as her eyes glowed red.

"You are weak that is the truth. And he isn't anything special as well." Yuri laughed as he said.

"YOU LET ME SH-" Kanae was about to attack him but Yuri's eyes glowed teal and the room was covered in a barrier and immobilized everyone.

No one was able to move as the barrier activated. He looked at the fear in their eyes he smirked and said.

"See this is all you amount to. I'll do this and I'll throw her life in the deal as well." He said as he drank from the bottle again but when he heard no answer. He saw them looking behind him.

"So what did you say pig?" Yuri heard a cold voice behind him and his body stiffened he wasn't able to breathe as he turned his head around with difficulty and saw Haru and his eyes had a pattern similar to an eight-pointed star.

He wasn't able to talk for a while but he was angry at being called a pig.

"Y-You Bastard. I'll kill you." Yuri was about to attack Haru but then everyone saw Yuri's body dismembered as it was cut into pieces. The Barrier set by Yuri was disabled and everyone was able to move. They were shocked to see Haru kill An S-rank this will cause massive consequences.

But then they heard a voice.

"What are you guys looking so worried about?" they heard Haru's voice from the place where he was sitting before and then they looked at the one standing near Yuri fade away and Yuri was sitting in his chair spasming as he passed out.

They didn't know what happen was that an illusion. He didn't even move from his place and he defeated Yuri Orloff.

'Gulp' Matsumoto gulped his saliva as he looked at this.

"Let's change rooms this one reeks." Haru's voice brought them out of their thoughts as they changed the room and sent Yuri to the hospital.

"T-Then Hunter Tsugikuni will you help us," Matsumoto said as he stuttered a little.

"I have some conditions first," Haru said which caused Matsumoto to become serious again.

"Because of your little scheme. I will take 50% of the Final Amount and Tawata Kanae will join my guild after this Raid." Haru's words caused the Room to become quiet.

"Are you joking with us 50% and you want our S-Rank hunter do you think we are fools," Matsumoto shouted.

"That is because you wasted my time in your schemes so you will have to pay for it." Haru's cold voice signified that there was no room for negotiations here. Matsumoto shook his head as he thought that Haru was Naïve.

"S-Rank Hunter Tsugikuni Haru not cooperating because he wants more compensation even after he was offered 30%. What do you think the public is going to say about this Hunter Tsugukuni?" he pulled this card as it will destroy Haru's public image and drag it through the mud. With this, he can lower the compensation as well.

This caused everyone in the room to frown but Haru wasn't affected.

Haru then pulled out his phone and tapped on it a few times and a sound rang out in the room. Goto and Matsumoto's voice was heard in the room.

-What do you think? Is the plan going to work?

-No sir he changed the whole plan we won't be able to trap the Korean hunter in the ant cave anymore.

-Is there no way around it?

-No sir our plan isn't going to work as long as he is there.

The recording played out about the plan of killing the Korean S-rankers On Jeju island.

"So what do you think the people are going to say after these recordings are known?" Both Goto and Matsumoto turned pale as they heard this and Gun-hee was angered beyond belief as he heard this.

"This is fake people aren't going to believe this," Matsumoto said as he tried to calm himself down. He thought as long as the documents are safe he won't be in any danger.

"Is that so how about this then?" Haru laughed as he took some documents from his bag and showed it to them and Matsumoto's soul left his body when he saw this and Goto was sweating his calm expression was thrown out of the window.

"Well, what you have to say about this?" Gun-hee said as his aura leaked out of his body because his anger went through the roof.

Matsumoto didn't say anything as he was scared shitless at the moment.

"Well it's whether you accept my deal or this gets released tomorrow. It's your choice." I said while looking at them.

"We…. Accept." Matsumoto caved under the pressure and accepted the deal because if this got out no one will help them with the S-rank gate.

"It's good that you are a sensible person," Haru said with mockery clear in his voice as he stood up and went towards the door then turned around and said.

"There won't be a next time if you try to do something and tell it to that pig as well I will really kill him next time." And then went away with Kanae following him. After that Gun-hee stood up and moved out of the room he was relieved that there were no damages done to Korea because of this scheme.
