Requiem Of A Failed Hero



"He didn't help me."

"What? He didn't?!!" Mok Jae-Hwa was as shocked as everyone in the parlor.

He and his guild members had followed Mok Jun-Seo to show him how serious they were. They literally pressured him with pleas from Korea to China and even stayed in the same hotel with him, although in different rooms.

They couldn't believe that the old man refused to help. Especially Mok Jae-Hwa who knew very well that this man was his father's master and is like a grandfather to him. He would gladly help any time.

Mok Jun-Seo sank into his couch, touching his head.

"Even if he did agree to help. I doubt if there's anything he would have been able to do. It's not like the master himself can open a gate that is already closed." He said and sighed.

"Let's return to Korea. We will find a way to help hunter Raven and let us trust in the ability of our hunter. I for one don't think this will be the end."

Mok Jae-Hwa bowed his head, "Of course, I know. I just want to see him. I have a lot to say to him and I was too busy with Sung Min's burial that I didn't pay him any attention when he told me he wanted to go to Germany. Although I blame you for that part." Mok Jae-Hwa glared at his father.

"Why???"

"You could have told Kaiser to wait till the burial was done. Isn't that what was sensible to do?"

"Well, people were dying? You wanted me to wait for a dead person to be paid honor to, even if that waiting is causing the death of hundreds more? How selfish."

Mok Jae-Hwa frowned and looked away, "I'm sorry."

"It's fine. Let's just go home." The chairman said, grabbed his coat, and walked out of the room.

The rest followed suit, with Shin patting Jae-Hwa as they walked out.

On getting to the airport, Mok Jun-Seo encountered someone he was hoping he wouldn't even run into.

"Ho ho ho!! If it isn't my great rival! How did it feel being turned down by the great master."

Chairman Mok Jun-Seo frowned as he replied Alec Whitman. "More than that, I am worried about what you told Master, remember he is a man that you cannot fool and no matter the cards you are playing, he will always catch you."

"Fool? Why will I fool my master? I am only looking out for his best interest unlike someone else who is too self-conceited to care about what our master needs."

Chairman Mok Jun-Seo closed his eyes, taking in all the anger and hiding it behind his indifferent expression.

"I really do hope you are being sincere." He said and walked past.

"Heyyy, is that Mok Jae-Hwa? You should come to America sometime. I tell you there are nice babes there. Hell, you could even hook up with my daughter." He said tapping Mok Jae-Hwa but immediately jumped a step back as he felt a cold sinister touch on his wrist.

"Take your dirty hand off my man." Shin-Hye declared with a cold glare as they walked past the man.

Just then suddenly an agent ran and met the chairman giving him the phone, he was out of breath and his face was in a state of panic.

"What? What is it?" The panicking face the agent had caused Chairman Mok Jun-Seo to be very worried that he lost his composure.

"Hello, Chairman?"

"Yes, Hyun Shik? What is it?! What is going on?" Chairman Mok Jun-Seo responded aggravatedly upon collecting the phone.

"It's a black gate, sir."

ραndαsnοvεl.cοm "A black gate?" Chairman Mok Jun-Seo repeated.

"Yes, although nothing is coming out of it yet. But I suggest that we will need the strongest of strongest hunters to be here."

"Then send a message to all hunters starting from B rank, I don't care whatever the content will be or how you will make them gather, we cannot afford another lose at this point."

"Yes sir!!"

"I will be around soon!" He hung up.

"Father, what is the matter?" Mok Jae-Hwa asked, walking closer to his father.

"We have to go back as soon as we can. There's a black gate in front of the hunter's association building."

"What? A black gate. Isn't the video of the gate in India that we saw black?" Mok Jae-Hwa asked.

"That is the only time I have ever heard of a black gate. If it is the same rank as the gate. I can't fathom the amount of damage that South Korea will take, the least we can do is try to protect everyone and for that, we need all hands on deck."

"Shit. Why is this happening to us now of all times?! It's as though there's a force that just wants us to fall." Mok Jae-Hwa complained as they climbed into their plane.

"Hmmm... how come I have never heard of that young lady?" Alec Whitman said stroking his beard.

"She is a hunter well known for modeling for several brands." The young lady, behind him reported.

"Hmm, I see... she has a nice smell though."

"That is because she uses an artifact, because of the nature of her powers which makes her an undead, she gives off an offensive and irritating smell. God knows how her boyfriend is coping." She commented.

"Oh no, Susie that is rude."

"My apologies sir." The lady bowed her head, adjusting her small spectacles, she was dressed as a flight attendant but holding a file to her chest.

"By the way. Find out what is going on in South Korea for me."

"There seems to be a gate emergence and it's a black gate, almost like the one in India." She replied immediately to his command and gave him the phone to see for himself.

Alec Whitman was busy for the next few minutes checking the news, then the corner of his lips slowly curved up.

"So, they are going to be so dead uh?" He said and threw the phone as he walked away.

The young lady caught up to him quickly after catching the phone.

"This is quite uncomfortable, but since the association offered a billion won. I had to come since they seem to be in desperate need of help" Hunter Lee Se-Chul said, smiling at the female hunter next to him.

"I thought it was only me. I guess the hunter's association must be in desperate need of help." The lady responded, ignoring Lee Se-Chul's unchanging gestures to impress her.

Every hunter starting from B rank to S rank and even disaster rank was beginning to gather in front of the black gate as the association has called them.

After a few hours of waiting, the gate finally began to crack open and as it did, the hunters prepared themselves for what was about to come out of it.

"Huh?" Lee Se-Chul was confused.

"Aren't those humans?"
