The rest looked towards Alex with a look of confusion, Gold walked up to him, "Even though Ryan said that You are not suspicious to him, You are still a suspect for me! Tell me, how did you see that invisible reaper the instant you got to that place? Are you telling me that your powers are that of recon and detection?" His eyes were dead set on Alex's face, watching every expression change.

Alex smiled and shook his head, He looked towards Gold and simply said, "I just don't know my powers yet. From what I've been able to do, I have physical strength, enhanced speed and I'm able to manifest this dagger. Other than that, I don't know…" Alex was telling the truth, he truly didn't know the system. Until now, he just took it as a game like UI that would make him stronger like in any RPG game. Do tasks, you level up, you become stronger. But Alex never thought about his powers properly.

Gold Put his hand on Alex's shoulders. Alex, worried about what God might do next, looked around but he was surprised to see that everyone was calm about this situation. It seemed like this was normal for them all.

"Then, tell me. You show signs of being a recon and a caster… Even though a few of us are similar in the way that some show recon powers while having physical powers or something similar, most of us are S-Ranks. But you, are a caster from the way you explain your powers. Yet have a better environmental sense than Sir Fire, someone who is known to be very good at sensing his surroundings. That is what bothers me. You, C-Rank possible caster could detect an invisible reaper faster than Sir Fire, a Pseudo S-Rank."

Alex looked towards Hana, He didn't know what to say. "I… Don't know... I just got these powers yesterday, I don't even know what's going on half of the time. You say that you're confused, Look at me. I was tricked into getting into a cave, I had to watch 9 others get ripped to shreds by reapers. I was lucky that another gate was nearby so I ran for it. And now, not even 24 hours later, I'm here. Being suspected of something that I don't even know." As Alex shared his experience, many within the room sympathize with him but some chucked.

Hana nodded when she heard Alex, "Gold, You should calm down a bit. I've been questioning Alex since he has been here and I can say for myself that he is not a liar. His powers are weird but the man doesn't have ill intents." Hearing Hana, Gold backed up. He looked towards Master Zhun, who also seemed to nod.

"Well, I'm still not giving up on you. I know that something is off about you and I will get to the bottom of this." Gold then looked towards Hana, "And you, I've never seen you be so close to someone. What is it that he has?"

Hana smiled and shook her head, "Alex, doesn't turn into a lion when he gets angry."

It was true, Alex turned towards Gold to see that his skin was slowly transforming into fur. His face was starting to look like that of a lion. 'So that's his powers…'

Gold looked even more furious, he walked to the side and looked at Sir Fire, "You can continue."

Sir fire laughed awkwardly and continued, "If the second case is true, we have a problem. Until now, the reapers have been the easiest beings to deal with. They're small and die easily, but imagine if they evolved to be as powerful as the initial beings that came. The incident of 20 years ago, the colossal beings that destroyed an entire city… We might have history repeat itself if we don't increase our powers. But we also need to confirm the fact that they are evolving, Let's just hope this was a mutated reaper. If not, we will have a huge problem at hand."

Hearing Sir Fire's words, everyone in the room nodded. Master Zhun also nodded, "Right now, As I am the oldest and most awakened, I have been voted as the temporary leader of this organization so I shall make an announcement as the current leader! Bring back the bodies of reapers, we need to do research. I will make a new team to collect the bodies but until it is officially created, the awakened have to bring the bodies themselves. Do you all understand?!"

Everyone in the room shouted, "Yes sir!"

Master Zhun then clapped his hands and looked at Ryan, "Ryan, You tell them my decision. I'm too old for this." He then walked out of the room.

Ryan nodded and walked over to the middle of the room. He clapped his hands, then. All of a sudden, everything felt dark. The next second, everyone was in a large garden full of flowers. "Okay, this peaceful scene is meant to relax all of you." Ryan chuckled as he looked toward Gold.

"Well, What Master Zhun wants is for us to officially vote for a new leader. He complains that due to his weakening powers as well as his age, He might not be the best suited for this job. Master Zhun has also told me that he no longer needs me as his protector and that he was fine on his own, from what I see… He probably thinks that his time is nearly over and he wants to pass his final years in silence. So, let's give him his silence and let him live a stress-free life. We shall vote on the new leader soon but not now. The situation is too much of a concern for us to focus on the politics of this so, at least for a few months or so. Master Zhun will still be our leader but after that, we will have to decide a new leader for this organization."

Everyone was surprised to hear Ryan's words. They didn't think he was going to talk about that.

The thought of Master Zhun dying due to his old age was something that they all felt saddened to hear, even Alex, who had just met Master Zhun, felt sad. He had only known him for a little while, but Alex could feel that Master Zhun was a real man.

Ryan then clapped his hands once more, as soon as he did, the room returned to normal.
