"Remember what you said. Otherwise, we will find you no matter where you are."

The two girls weren't interested in the magic crystals on the ground; they only picked out a few pretty ones as souvenirs to take with them, while Liu Chenhao carried the rest.

After the group walked out of the teleportation portal, seeing the shocked expressions on the faces of the association staff when they saw the number of people had decreased, Nuoyin immediately contacted Gao Jianli's secretary and Che Huiyi to explain the situation.

Liu Chenhao also called his relatives and asked them to come and pick him up.

After doing all this, Nuoyin noticed that Liu Chenhao's expression was somewhat subtle.

"Don't overthink it. As long as you don't talk nonsense, we won't do anything to you."

Liu Chenhao shook his head.

"I believe that Brother Rhodes and you are not bad people."

Noin's lips twitched slightly.

(Thinking about killing your whole family at the drop of a hat... isn't that being a bad person...?)

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the two cars stopped in front of them almost simultaneously.

Two tall and beautiful women stepped out of the car at the same time, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present.

Che Huiyi is tall and slender, and elegantly brushes aside the golden strands of hair that have been ruffled by the wind.

The other woman who got out of the car was dressed in a fashionable and expensive outfit, with long, straight legs and a powerful aura.

The two exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised.

"Huh? Che Huiyi the hunter?"

"You are... Liu Suxian, the hunter?"

The woman, known as Liu Suxian, showed a somewhat troubled expression, but then smiled brightly.

"I'm no longer a hunter. I plan to work as an entertainer, but my dad has always objected. Right now, I'm basically unemployed."

Che Huiyi knew something about her.

She debuted as an A-class hunter, and her elders in her family are directors of a famous pharmaceutical company. She is a well-educated heiress with no bad habits.

A sudden thought struck Che Huiyi.

She is highly qualified, has outstanding looks, and possesses special talents...

Isn't Liu Suxian a perfect fit for Rod's standards?!

"I'm helping someone set up a company, but we lack reliable management talent. Would you... like to consider it?"

Liu Suxian's beautiful eyes widened.

"Eh?"

-

Washington, late at night.

At the top of a skyscraper that overlooks the entire city that never sleeps.

Rhodes' figure appeared out of thin air, as if blending into the night.

He put his hands in his pockets, gazing indifferently at the bustling scene below.

Behind him, six shadowy soldiers in black knelt silently on one knee.

Rhodes did not turn around; his cold voice was devoid of any emotion.

"You are not qualified to be my soldier. I will send you two brothers on your way."

Even after his ultimate fate was declared, the leader of the shadow soldiers (Hwang Dong-seok) felt no anger, only sorrow at being unable to serve his king any longer.

Rod spoke calmly.

"Now, find him."

The moment the words fell.

The leader of the shadows shared with his companions all the locations in his memory where his younger brother, Huang Dongshu, might appear.

Whoosh-!

Six dark figures instantly merged into the shadows on the ground, rushing off in six different directions in the city like ghosts.

Rhodes narrowed his eyes slightly.

The Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan granted him unparalleled vision that surpassed the limits of physics.

He could clearly see the license plates on every road below the building, and even see through the glass of buildings far away to know what was happening inside.

At the same time, countless sounds flooded into the shadow soldier's mind like a tidal wave, passing through his hearing.

Hey Smith! How have you been lately?

"Customer, our store's policy for returns due to simple dislike is..."

"Why didn't you come to the party yesterday, you bastard!"

Countless idle chatter, car horns, the clamor of television, the hissing of stray cats, the sound of water from the bathroom...

The cacophony of the entire city seemed to converge here, attempting to drown out his consciousness.

But Rod's expression remained calm and indifferent throughout.

Until, a shadow delivered definite news.

"found it."

Rod's lips curled into a slight smile.

Cleaner Guild Headquarters

Huang Dongshu, an S-rank hunter who is usually arrogant and domineering in the guild and whom no one dares to mess with.

At this moment, however, she appeared extremely reserved in front of that man, like a primary school student meeting a teacher for the first time.

Thomas Andrei.

A national-level hunter of Country M, one of the men standing at the pinnacle of the world.

He possesses godlike power, an unfathomable and bizarre personality, and... an extremely intense and morbid possessiveness towards "his own things."

Whenever Huang Dongshu stood in front of this person, he would unconsciously restrain all his violence and temper.

"You're looking for me?"

Inside the office, Thomas's massive, bear-like body almost completely filled the sofa.

He had long, flamboyant blond hair, blood-red eyes, and a smile that carried a chilling, intimidating power.

A thick, golden goatee, muscular arms covered in black tattoos, and... feet bigger than sandbags, casually draped over the desk.

"Mr. Huang, I heard you're still in contact with your brother from H country?"

"....yes."

He casually toyed with a Zippo lighter, a disdainful smile on his face.

“Your brother, taking advantage of your reputation, has coincidentally killed quite a few low-level hunters in H country. The families of the victims have already filed complaints with the Hunter Management Bureau of H country several times.”

Thomas's tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable sense of pressure.

Huang Dongshu scoffed at this.

"Those low-level consumables, they're no big deal if they die. My brother, he..."

"Ok?"

Thomas extended his index finger and gently shook it.

His lips, hidden behind his sunglasses, curved into a cruel smile as he spoke.

"I don't recall ever giving you the right to speak, Mr. Huang?"

Just listen.

This is a clear warning.

Knowing full well that he was worlds apart from the man in front of him, Huang Dongshu immediately shut his mouth.

Thomas spoke again, his voice filled with warning.

"I don't care what trouble your brother gets into. But we absolutely cannot let his words and actions affect the development of my guild... Do you understand?"

Huang Dongshu's face stiffened, and he remained silent for a long time, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

"Can I apply to return to H country for a month to resolve these issues?"

Thomas's captivating, blood-red eyes seemed to see right through Huang Dongshu's innermost thoughts.

"...Make it cleaner."

Huang Dongshu's lips curled into a ferocious smile.

"I see."

Ultimately, Thomas didn't care about the so-called victims. He only cared about not affecting his "kingdom".

Huang Dongshu bowed his head respectfully, then turned around to leave.

But the moment he opened the door, he found a strange, smiling young Asian man quietly blocking his way.

"Huang Dongshu?"

Huang Dongshu frowned slightly, his irritability and violence instantly ignited.

Too lazy to say another word, he raised his leg and delivered a powerful whip kick, viciously sweeping towards the opponent's knee!

"I'm really annoyed right now! Whoever you are, get out of here!"

However, facing a kick powerful enough to break steel bars, Rod suddenly laughed.

"Looks like we didn't choose the wrong person."

Click——! ! !

Rod casually raised his foot, intercepting Huang Dongshu's attack with incredible speed, and then—stomped down hard!

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!!!"

The cracking sound of bones breaking, accompanied by a piercing scream, echoed throughout the entire floor!

Huang Dongshu's eyes widened instantly. His right leg bent upwards at an odd angle, and the intense pain made his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Rod in disbelief.

"Damn it! I'm going to kill you!!!"

Huang Dongshu was absolutely furious!

He let out a beastly roar and slammed his other leg into the ground.

The iron fist, enveloped in dazzling light, slammed towards Rhodes' face with a whistling sound, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky!

This was an attack from an S-rank hunter, delivered with all his might! Its power was earth-shattering!

however--

Snapped! ! !

Rod simply waved his right hand casually.

After a dull, soft sound, like swatting a fly.

Huang Dongshu's unstoppable fist, along with his entire arm, was instantly slapped so hard that it twisted and deformed, and hung limply down!

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

Another painful roar!

A mind clouded by rage is finally brought back to reality by fear in the face of overwhelming power.

Who...who is this guy?!

Why...why am I, an S-rank hunter, completely powerless against him?

It's like a baby facing a strong, adult man! That's impossible!
