[Breaking News!]

"Recently, The number of Lizards are increasing not only around Korea but whole world-wide . While, there are many citizens of Korea who are mysteriously missing. While, This all is happening after the surprising death of a National Hunter, Siddharth Bachchan…"

"...What do you think about this coincidence? Is there any relation between the death of the National Hunter and sudden increase in Lizards?" News reporter asked, sitting in her couch. Chairman Gunhee in a video chat.

They currently were in a media talk show.

"Um.. I have nothing to say about this matter. We are currently interrogating all the Lizards we have captured recently. Though, we still haven't made any progress in the interrogation." Chairman Gunhee sadly said. He had dark circles around his eyes, showing his lack of sleep in the late days.

"Then, Do you have anything to say to our citizens? So that they could protect themselves from these weird events occurring in our country." News reporter asked.

"All I have to say is. Our Association and Government are doing our very best to stop this disappearance of our citizens. While sending many search teams for the missing citizens. Even the Crown Guild, Hunters Guild and White Tiger Guild are helping us, in this…"

"...So, all I can say now is. Please, stay alert and don't roam alone. Until we find the main culprits, who are causing this disturbance in our country." Chairman Gunhee said. Giving some quick answers, he cutted down his line.

He had many important things to do, then chat with a useless talk.

[Crown Guild]

Currently, In his office room. Alard was at his comfy desk. Many mails, popping on his computer screen.

He gathered around 169 S-rank Hunters mails. Applying for his Tournament.

'This worked more perfectly then. I thought.' Alard smirked, watching the mail. Liu Zhigang, Thomas Andre had mailed him to be a guest in this tournament.

While, in the participants list. He saw some familiar names like Baek Yoonho, Cha Hae-In, Choi Jong-In, Lennart Nierman, Jaw Mills, Goto Ryuji, Hwang Dongsoo, Kanae Tawata and Sung Jinwoo too!

While, in the list. He also saw Wang Chen in the list. The one he met in China.

[International Korean Airport]

"Ummm! So, this is Korea? How are you feeling, returning back?" The gothic, Thomas Andre asked stretching his arms. He looked toward Hwang Dongsoo, his guild member.

"I thought. That worm of Jinwoo died in that Red Gate. It seems like he was alive and even recently was got re-awakened as a S-rank." He said, killing intent flashing in his eyes. Thomas frowned looking at this.

"Mr. Hwang. I don't know who this Jinwoo is. But, I know what grievances you have with him. Still.. you better hold yourself here. You can later fight him in the tournament Mr. Alard is organising." Thomas said, with a demanding tone.

Hwang Dongsoo clicked his tongue, not trying to argue.

Thomas nodded for his disciple. When, Chief Jinchul also soon arrived at the scene. He was a little startled with the atmosphere.

"Welcome to Korea, Mr. Thomas and Mr. Hwang. I'm here—"

"We know, you are here to escort us. Quickly do it then." Thomas interrupted. Chief Jinchul was a little surprised with Thomas's height.

"Yes, please follow me."
