76. International Expansion

Indra arrives in the 1st country where Jin Woo's shadow soldiers find a good S-Rank potential. With his Lightning Spiritual Body, Indra can reach Africa just in 10 minutes from Indonesia.

The problem is finding the target. He needs to keep communicating with Jin Woo to find the target through the Shadow Soldier that is attached to the target.

Their first target is a man from South Sudan. They choose someone from South Sudan because it will be easier to persuade him. After all, Indra is the country's savior, so the man will look up to him, and it really works.

The man is a construction worker. He recognizes Indra and is really happy to meet him, so their talk becomes easier. Indra takes him to a restaurant and puts a barrier around them so they can talk privately.

"Sorry about this, but I really need to talk to you in private. By the way, what is your name?"

"A-Ajawin, sir."

Luckily, South Sudan's official language is english, so Indra can talk with Ajawin without much problem except for understanding the accent.

"Alright, Ajawin, here's the deal. Do you want to be a hunter?"

"H-huh? A hunter? Me?"

"You don't wanna?"

"O-of course, I want to. I can earn money even though the job is dangerous."

"Are you in great need of money?"

"Who doesn't? But yes, I really need money. My family has a lot of debt and my father is sick. Me, my mother, and younger sister barely make ends meet with our jobs, so we get into debt for my father's treatment."

Indra already knows about this because Jin Woo's shadow soldiers have investigated all their targets' backgrounds. He just wants to see if Ajawin will be honest with it.

"Then, what if I say I can help you to be a great hunter? Not only that, I will even cure your sick father."

"Eh? B-but I'm not awakening my power yet, so I can't be a hunter."

"I know. What I mean is I can awaken your power and you can be an S-Rank."

Ajawin is obviously surprised, so surprised that he doesn't know what to say.

"You don't believe me?"

"T-that's, I just didn't know that such an ability exists, sir! Of course, I won't doubt you."

"Hahaha, you can doubt me. You shouldn't just believe everything that others say. But well, I am saying the truth. I can awaken you into an S-Rank instantly and if you agree, I want you to work for me. You will receive a lot of money as an S-Rank, I can guarantee that at least."

"I-if you really can do that, then I will gladly accept it. No! Please let me take that opportunity."

Indra smiles seeing Ajawin's firm expression.

"Good, then let's sign the contract first. I have a skill called Soul Contract. It will bound our souls so we can die if we breach the contract."

Indra gives the contract document to Ajawin. He almost just signs it without checking, but Indra stops him and tells him to read it carefully then asks whatever he doesn't understand.

"But I trust you won't harm me."

"Even if you trust someone more than anything, you still need to always check. Contracts on papers will bind you for a very long time and in this case, forever. So never ignore them and always read them carefully."

Indra is very stern, so Ajawin can only agree and start reading the contract. Luckily, Ajawin can read even though his educational background is low. That's why he has a lot of questions about the contract and Indra explains them all clearly.

Only after he understands and agrees with everything does Ajawin sign the contract using his blood.

The contract only has a few simple terms like being loyal to Indra, keeping it a secret that Indra awakens his power, and will never reveal it unless it's the only choice like if their loved ones' lives are threatened.

Indra isn't afraid that his ability to awaken people is known. But it will be very troublesome, so he rather avoid revealing it. It will also keep the ones he awakens or upgrades to be careful about his abilities.

"Alright, now that you have signed the contract, I will tell you the plan."

Indra tells Ajawin that he wants Ajawin to build a Guild here. The name is up to Ajawin as the Guild Master and Indra will help with the management so that Ajawin can focus on hunting monsters.

"I will invest in the Guild, so it will grow faster. But as the Guild Master, you also need to have some business skills. So the ones I send will also teach you things about business. It will be challenging, but you need to do your best for it."

"Yes, sir! I will make the Guild to be the best in the country."

"Well, you don't have any S-Rank here, so that will be the case."

They talk more about the plan. Ajawin is very enthusiastic and has a lot of questions that Indra gladly answers.

After they finish their talk, they go to Ajawin's house. When awakening or upgrading someone's power, the target will fall asleep immediately. That's why they go to Ajawin's house.

Indra is using stealth so no one can see him. Ajawin pretends to be very tired and needs to rest when he meets his family. He goes to his room with the invisible Indra then pretends to sleep.

"Remember to contact me through the Hunter Association. I have talked with their president about investing in a Guild if there is an S-Rank awakener that appears here."

Indra whispers and Ajawin nods in response. Then Indra uses his Awakener skill on Ajawin that quickly makes the man fall asleep.

After he finishes using the skill and Ajawin falls asleep, Indra leaves the house. He takes a look at Ajawin's shadow and nods to the shadow soldier hiding there before leaving.

The shadow soldier will keep observing Ajawin and reports the situation to Jin Woo who will relay it to Indra if anything happens.

Indra goes home to rest and recover his magic power because awakening someone needs a lot of magic power. Besides, it's already night in Indonesia, so he needs to go home anyway.

He also needs to prepare a team to be sent to South Sudan to help Ajawin manage the Guild. There are just a lot of things to do.

The next day, he goes to meet another target as Jin Woo's shadow soldiers have found quite a lot. But he is only one person, so he needs to do it in turn.

Indra leaves the matter about the people who will be sent to Ajawin's Guild and the next people's Guilds to his super competent Secretary General, so he can focus on persuading the targets.

All the talks after that go very smoothly. The main reasons are his fame, the wealth he can promise them if they agree, and the power they can wield.

They all know they need power to at least protect themselves and their loved ones from the dangerous monsters that can suddenly come out of the dungeons.

All the current targets are from poor countries that don't have many high-ranking Hunters because they've been poached by wealthy countries.

So sometimes, dungeon breaks happen and threaten their lives. They who didn't have power could only run away and hoped to be saved. That's why they really want to have power to protect themselves and their loved ones.

Thanks to those things, Indra's talks with them become a lot easier. He keeps awakening and upgrading people's power almost every day.

While Indra does all that, his trusted people are preparing for the transportation of the materials. They negotiate with transportation companies to carry the materials from Africa to Indonesia.

This is a crucial matter, so they need to do it carefully and choose a trustworthy partner. There are just too many things to do at once.

It's a good thing that Indra didn't try to do everything alone because it was impossible to do all of these alone even if he has unimaginable power.

3 months after the S-Rank dungeon is cleared, Indra suddenly gets an unexpected visit. Ragnar, the National Level Hunter from Norway comes to meet him without any prior notice.

"Why didn't you call me, man? What would you do if I'm not home?"

"Then I'll just wait."

"Sigh, what do you want? I told you I can't give you the materials from the S-Rank boss."

"Don't worry about that, this is a different matter."

Ragnar is a middle-aged man with a thick beard and mustache. His body is also big, 2nd only to Thomas among the National Level Hunters.

But Indra can't feel anything special from him except that he has a lot more magic power than S-Rank Hunters.

That's why Indra is very surprised when Ragnar's whole aura suddenly changes in front of him. It suddenly feels like he changes into a different person in front of his eyes and it makes Indra frown deeply.

Then, he suddenly hears a familiar voice he hasn't heard for a very long time from Ragnar's mouth.

"Long time no see, boy."

"No way! Odin!"
