"It's been five hours already."
Agent Jong-Su looked at his wristwatch and looked at the space where the gate was supposed to be.
He looked back at Min-ho who was seated under the tent, waiting for Raith to come out.
"Hunter Min-ho, I think you should..."
"No, I can't leave until Hyungnim comes."
He replied brazenly, with a focused gaze toward where the gate should be.
"Agent Jong-Su sighed and sat down.
Moments later, Lee Se-Chul who had left earlier, his attack squads were still around and were chilling in their black sedan bus.
As he got out of his car to approach Agent Jong-Su.
The air began to swirl, and the gate from a small point in that swirl began to grow bigger, starting with a black color that slowly reverted to a blue color.
Raith dauntlessly walked out of the gate, with his trousers ripped, his shirt gone but his magnificent body in full display to the entire surrounding, the perfect alignment of his muscles, his chiseled chest, broad shoulders, thickened neck, and an overall slight increase in height, his gaze had also changed as if he was staring cold death into everyone that looked at him.
"Hyungnim!"
"Merchant Raven..."
Raith looked at the little crowd that gathered around.
"What happened? Why are there so many people?"
Raith asked as agent Jong-Su reached him with a blanket.
"It is good to have you back, Merchant Raven"
He said, covering Raith's body with the blanket, but having to overstretch himself a bit for that to be possible.
'Was he always this tall?'
The agent wondered briefly as Raith entered the tent and bowed his head for a moment, not responding to the chaos of questions Min-ho kept showering on him.
"Shut up"
His voice struck fear into the heart of everyone that was around, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense such that everyone was silent for the next few moments.
Raith gritted his teeth as he recalled the embarrassment in the gaze. Even after that long speech that made him feel like a God. The bastard Ogre did not respond to his call.
'Why? was it because it is a named monster? Is it more powerful than Fenrir?... I got Fenrir as an ego, maybe if I had tried to extract its soul that time it might not have been possible'
Raith looked at the tab in front of him.
[Number Of Shadow Summons: 50/50]
'At least it worked out with the Orc Chief and the other Orcs I killed'
He sighed and freed himself from the anger and frustration that had formed a tension all around him.
Everywhere suddenly became cool.
"Hunter Raith, please we would like you to hide your identity from those people."
Agent Jong-Su leaned toward Raith and whispered to him, causing Raith's vision to switch to the coming Lee Se-Chul and his guild's main attack squad.
"Are you the hunter that cleared the gate?"
Lee Se-Chul asked, forcing himself not to cower before the domineering presence that Raith emanated.
"Hunter Lee Se-Chul. You have no business here."
As agent Jong-Su spoke, two other agents blocked his path. Lee Se-Chul looked at the two of them and looked at Agent Jong-Su.
"You never learn do you?"
He said emitting a blue aura from his glowing eyes and tightening his fist.
"What are you doing?"
Raith's shadow energy countered his immediately– trapping the atmosphere within the penitentiary of fear. Lee Se-Chul's hand began to shake as he looked into Raith's slitted eyes which were subtly exuding purple and black smoke as a faint show of his cosmic energy and shadow energy.
He turned back instantly and walked away, gritting his teeth.
Agent Jong-Su looked back at Raith with widened eyes.
'He made the arrogant Lee Se-Chul turn back with just a release of his energy. No doubt about it. This guy is S rank!'
Agent Jong-Su stiffened his expression and bowed.
"Thank you for clearing the gate. As agreed the association will credit you with your quota"
He belted with a ninety degrees bow, ignoring the desire for his questions to be answered.
"It's good. Min-ho..."
Raith looked to his side which was suddenly silent.
"Hyungnim."
"Let's go home."
"Yes, hyungnim!!"
Min-ho replied, happier than he was when he graduated the medical school.
"Guild master... what happened?"
Behind Lee Se-Chul was a big guy cladded in silver armor and was looking at the white Mercedes that drove away.
"I don't know who that guy is... but I think we have to bring him to our guild."
"Bring him to our guild? Why?"
"If that guy is a special rank. And he is with the association, we guilds are fucked."
He said to the face of the tall guy and turned to Lee Seung-gi who silently standing beside him.
"Manager Lee."
"Yes, guild master."
"I'll put you in charge of recruiting that guy. And I want you to spread rumors that the associations have a special rank as a Merchant."
"I can understand the recruiting, but why should we spread a rumor."
The timid manager asked with a cautious tone.
"Isn't it obvious? If we can't get him, then the associations can't have him too. If rumors go around and reach Park Shi-Won. I'm sure that guy will begin to pull all his strings to recruit him. All is fine as long as the association doesn't have him."
"I see..."
'The guild master's selfish side.'
Lee Se-Chul looked at the association as they packed up their equipments and left the scene slowly.

"How annoying. I haven't even begun to use him and he has died."
Deep and dark red skin glistened in the dim light from the red moon. Piercing yellow eyes glinted with a predatory gaze as he spoke looking at his hands.
At his feet was a lady that was shrouded in transparent linen that was clearly displaying her womanly features.
"Your highness, you. an use me as much as you like."
She said with her tongue stuck out and with a nasty face that told the story of where they've been coming from. Certainly, this was not the first time she was being used as much as he likes.
Even though she had a bright skin complexion like every other human, her sclera was black with a red eyeball. It was none other than the particular that set apart a succubus.
"He was quite strong though, I wonder what human killed him."
She frowned as the demon spoke of humans.
"Your highness, are you toying with the humans again."
She inquired sensitively.
"Ba'al used to love them so much. It gives me so much joy to destroy them slowly. I should look for another monster."
He mumbled before standing up and leaving the succubus at the feet of his seat.
