Thomas Andre.
He was the master of America's representative large guild, the Scavenger Guild.
Despite being an old man in his 70s, he was a world-class star who was active as an S-class hunter.
The reason why he bothered to describe him as a 'star' was because he was a celebrity who had already achieved so much even before he awakened as a hunter.
'Devil in the ring'
Thomas Andre was the strongest UFC fighter that no one dared to match even before his awakening.
A time when there was no such thing as magical powers or monsters on Earth.
Since he was in his 20s, he had already been an MMA fighter who had won the title of 'humanity's strongest' with his pure force.
Numerous challengers challenged his stronghold, but none could surpass him.
In the end, he tried to retire without experiencing a single defeat….
God did not allow his retirement.
After Cataclysm.
Thomas Andre, who was spending his old age leisurely drinking coffee with a friend, woke up before anyone else.
As an S-class Hunter.
And, revealing his overwhelming force to the world, he began catching and killing the monsters that appeared in the United States like rats.
'Ha ha ha ha! This is real power! How weak I was before!'
From then on, he had his second heyday.
It was then that his nickname of 'The Devil in the Ring' was replaced by a new nickname, 'Goliath'.
He was able to perfectly control his highly developed body even before he had magical powers, so it was very easy for him to adapt to his awakened ability.
'That's easy! easy! Doesn't this feel like I've regained the power that originally belonged to me!'
He showed his strength to the fullest, like a fish in water.
In the meantime, he realized how narrow the square ring he was confined to was.
When fighting people, I couldn't bear to tear them to death, but I could tear the beasts apart as much as I wanted.
In addition, the former becomes a murderer and is criticized by everyone, but the latter receives praise and gratitude from people even if they commit as much as they like. What a wonderful world!
'Ha ha ha! Where is the magic beast again! Hahahaha!'
…Anyone who saw him brutally killing beasts with his bare hands, even through video media, would leave similar reviews.
-and. I don't know who the devil is.
– Rather, the beasts look pitiful?
-Please stop hating the beasts ㅠㅠ
-What if the beasts become extinct because of Thomas?
-Lㅇㅋ
-Isn't it necessary to create a beast protection group?
S-class hunters are quite rare, but there are still a lot of them worldwide.
And each of them possessed an overwhelming force no less than that of Thomas Andre.
However, it was impossible to compete for supremacy between S-class hunters because they did not have to fight each other.
However, when someone said that Thomas Andre was the strongest hunter, no one dared to disagree.
And the organization created around him was the 'Scavenger Guild'.
The only thing the Scavenger Guild revere is power.
As a result, most of the hunters who gathered in the scavenger guild were also radical, and these days, the United States was rather struggling because of their tyranny.
'…To think that the head of such a guild would suddenly visit Korea.'
After confirming the news, the head of the Hyeonmu Guild swallowed dryly.
It was not easy for a person who was usually an S-class hunter to visit a foreign country unless there was a special purpose.
The reason was simple.
because it's dangerous
They are literally walking combat weapons.
It was because they were dangerous people who could overthrow even one city in an instant if they wanted to.
Especially, Thomas Andre was by far the most dangerous person among them.
"What the hell is going on? Why did Thomas Andre come to Korea?"
"It seems like reporters are doing interviews in real time, but they are just saying things that I don't know what they mean."
"You don't know? What the hell are you talking about?"
The employee of the Hyunmu Guild, who was skimming through the interviews uploaded in real time at the urging of the headquarters, opened his mouth with his eyes fixed on his cell phone.
"…prophecy."
"huh?"
"You said you came because of the prophecy?"
"prophecy? Suddenly what…"
I flinched.
At that moment, Suho, who was listening to their conversation from the side, subtly hardened his expression.
'for a moment. Maybe it's the scavenger guild?'
There was a moment that flashed through my mind.
The Scavenger Guild and the Prophecy.
Just in time, Verdo popped out of the shadows and looked at Suho.
[Little lord, it seems that the guys I met at the pyramid last time also said something similar.]
"…I can't believe it?"
Ver did drive a wedge into Suho, who had a shy expression on his face.
[I'm sorry, but do you remember the proverb that you can't help but catch people? When I was young, when I was studying proverbs, I remember teaching me…]
"…"
It was then.
"Ah, I found it. Broadcast live!"
Coincidentally, Lim Do-gyun found and played the personal broadcasts of YouTubers at the airport.
Just in time, Thomas Andre was answering the reporters' questions in the video.
A white-haired old man.
The rugged, muscular old man lifted up the sunglasses he was wearing, stared straight at the approaching screen, and opened his mouth.
-Yes. I came because of the prophecy.
"what? Do you speak Korean?"
Curiously, as a native American, he was fluent in Korean.
– Hehe. what is the prophecy? Could I possibly tell you that with my bare mouth?
Even his pronunciation was very Korean-like.
As if you have been practicing for a long time.
Thomas Andre said with a sly grin.
-Anyway, the prophecy is over, and now I'm going to find the messenger of death who killed my guild members. messenger of death? Death Tiger? Is it correct to use this word in this case? Umm…
"…."
Suho was convinced the moment he heard his last words.
'It's me.'
[It's a small monarch.]
'….'
[….]
While everyone was watching Thomas Andre's video with interest, only Suho made eye contact with Ver and nodded with an awkward expression.
This was… no excuses.
Manager Lee Young-ho would rather have died at the hands of demons because it was certain that Suho had killed the hunters from the scavenger guild who fought in the Pyramid of Ammut.
'Of course, that side attacked me first, but.'
[It's okay to be like that. More than that, it seems that the evidence was destroyed, but this was discovered. ah! Could it be that the Asura Guild, who saved me then, opened its mouth? I should have killed him then…]
'Rather than that, I'm a bit concerned about the prophecy.'
If it had been Suho not too long ago, he would not have believed in a prophecy that catches floating clouds as superstition.
However, once he realized that his father was a divine being, he could not pass away even something shamanistic like a prophecy.
Not to mention, Thomas Andre, the strongest S-class hunter, couldn't have come to Korea after seeing today's horoscope.
'If that prophecy then…'
Suho recalled the 'prophecy' he had heard in Egypt.
-Sooner or later, life born from death will awaken from its seal. And that power will raise the dead.
'I think it was said to be a prophecy of some fortune teller, but now that I think about it again, it seems to be referring to me.'
At that time, it was the scavenger guild that came to the pyramid after hearing the prophecy, so there was a high probability that the prophecy mentioned by guild leader Thomas Andre was similar.
that means eventually.
'hmm. It's me too.'
[What are you going to do? If he really came to visit the little lord…]
Ver looked at Suho with a concerned expression.
However, Suho only shrugged his shoulders with a shameless expression.
"Ah what. What would he do without proof? I brought the entire pyramid."
[Kieek?]
"Let's just insist that we didn't do it."
Ber thought.
It seems that Sogunju-nim has matured a lot lately.
It was Ver who nodded happily, saying that he seems to be gradually becoming more like his father.
* * *
"Huh? How dare you block my way?"
As soon as Thomas Andre came out of the airport, he saw the Korean association hunters who stood in his way and smiled with interest.
His expression was like a bad boy contemplating how to disassemble this toy, and the association hunters who faced him shuddered.
"Thomas Andre's sudden visit is against international law."
Team leader Han Jae-hyeok, who had led the association's hunters, stepped forward, suppressing his fear.
"hmm. Are you the captain here?"
As the shadow of Thomas Andre was cast over Team Leader Han Jae-hyeok's face, Team Leader Han Jae-hyeok gritted his teeth with a determined expression.
'…My life ends here.'
Seeing Goliath, the worst S-class hunter in history, up close, the pressure was no joke.
As if on purpose, the suffocating energy that radiated from Thomas Andre's body was weighing heavily on team leader Han Jae-hyeok.
At that time, Thomas Andre's female secretary sighed lightly next to him and opened her mouth.
"Thomas, play around with that, and since you're tired, let's go find a place to stay."
As soon as the female secretary finished talking, the pressure that had been weighing down team leader Han Jae-hyeok disappeared like a lie.
'omg.'
Team leader Han Jae-hyeok, who almost collapsed on the spot when his legs gave out at the moment, kept his eyes on Thomas Andre, who was chatting with the female secretary out of breath.
"Ew? Aren't I tired yet?"
"I am tired. It seems like you keep forgetting, but I'm not an Awakener like you."
"aha! Yes, our Laura shouldn't be tired. Let's go to the hotel and adjust to the jet lag."
Thomas Andre burst into laughter at the bitter remarks of his female secretary, Laura, who had already been accompanying him for 30 years, and strode past the association hunters.
"Wait a minute! Thomas Andre! Stand there!"
Thomas Andre, who had been walking forward at the cry of team leader Han Jae-hyeok, who urgently called him from behind, looked back and smiled.
"You know what? No one has ever dared to stand in my way in my life."
Creepy.
A ferocious force that could only be felt from a giant monster began to radiate from his body again.
"Thomas."
At that moment, Laura's voice stopped him from behind again.
However, this time, Thomas Andre's runaway could not be stopped.
He warned the association hunters with the most ferocious momentum.
"Can you hear me? If I say go, I go. If you want to stop me, bring at least S-class hunters from your country, not yours."
"Thomas."
oh oh oh!
The airport was shaking as if it were about to collapse due to the terrible energy he emitted.
"Thomas."
"Stop it, Laura. No matter how you are…"
"I got a taxi."
"Oh already?"
At that moment, the air in the airport instantly became lighter, as if all the fears had been lies.
The people who were weighed down by the fear suddenly came to their senses and turned their eyes to Thomas Andre.
"Oh, it's narrow."
He was trying hard to cram his huge body into a taxi.
