Jeju Island

"Here we are, are you ready?" Henry asked 

"Sure" Steve replied as the man nodded and then opened the door.

As soon as he did, Steve felt a wave of silence rip through the room, as all eyes turned toward them, Henry entered the room as though no one was looking at him.

Mimicking the man's confidence, Steve did the same even if his heart was pounding. If he could hear it then surely some of the other powerful hunters within the room would too.

However, choosing to ignore it, Steve walked straight towards Gunhee who could be seen beckoning him from the other side of the meeting room.

As quietly as possible, Steve moved towards him while keeping a straight face.

"You're late" Gunhee said as soon as he sat down

As he did so, Judy simply stood back a short distance away from him, there was no other seat for her to use so she stood 

"Well I wasn't informed it would be this important" Steve replied 

"I am pretty sure they did"

"Okay, you've caught me, so what's going on?" 

"Out of control, S-rank dungeon break" Gunhee replied as he turned back to the front

"What's that supposed to mean?" Steve asked 

"...For those just joining us, this footage was captured by a dashcam of a car on one of the islands surrounding the S-rank Dungeon on Jeju Island" The presenter said interrupting their discussion

"Wait, Jeju Island, isn't that the one with the s-rank dungeon break" Steve asked 

[It is sir, it seems the ants on the island have been evolving and one of the flying ants just attacked an island besides Jeju] Judy replied telepathically 

"Thank you" Steve responded in kind.

"Excuse me, I just got the gist of it but is that ant still loose or has it been defeated?" Steve asked fearlessly

"Yes Sir, it has"

"I see, by your tone, I can tell that it came at a great cost so what were the losses?" Steve asked again

"An A-rank, six B-ranks and about 300 people dead before it was killed"

"Okay then, please go on," Steve said as he sat back.

He had gained all the information he needed. This was indeed a threat and one, he needed to take care of as quickly as possible. What was the use for a company if there was no consumer or customer to buy what he was selling?

Above all, it wasn't in his books to exactly stand by and let thousands die. From everything that Judy had shown him and what the presenter had said, this dungeon was definitely beyond S-rank.

It was closer to the National Level than the actual S-rank, this was the small flaw within the ranking system, there were levels to the S-rank. 

"10 of the 11 S-rank Hunters in my guild including myself plan to participate in the upcoming raid" one of the seated men said 

"Who's he?" Steve asked 

[Kyoto Ryuji, Guild master of the Japanese guild, Draw Sword, it is the second largest guild in the whole of Asia] Judy replied 

"So what does he gain from all this?"

[Nothing, the distance from Japan to Jeju Island is only slightly above 300 kilometres, that ant easily flew a distance of 150 kilometres]

"I see, so he is just a good man then" Steve replied
