They received the money to install the facilities on the northern side of Virginia. After a problem came up, they simply dealt it over with their money so that they would be able to buy some new equipment for hunting. Once they captured a few monsters, they went to the place where they could trade its corpse for cash.
On the northern side, there were a lot of complaints in that building and inside of it was filled with strange and unusual energy. Usually, when a civil complaint happens, all they had to do was to get a government official to handle it. However, they were all in a difficult situation and couldn't fully focus on that problem.
A twenty-year-old person stood quietly in an office with Jaehwang, Derek and Timothy. They went there to find a lawyer.
"I'll see what I can do. Can you show me your certification?"
"I don't have it, " Jaehwang replied. The lady then folded her arms and said,
"Sir, this would have been much easier if you had just called here first. Why would you just come here out of nowhere? It must have been a really big emergency. I don't want to make this problem bigger than it already is. There is nothing inside of these documents right now but I don't want to waste any more of my precious customer's time so I'll just give them to you." The lady then went to get the documents.
"I can't specifically find what you're looking for but you can take these and look through them."
So far, they were unsuccessful in finding that lawyer.
"As you can see there is nothing we can do. However, the code MH9 Bileon said that this was the place to get it from..."
"This is the Federal Burea of Investigation. Good. Here's my certification."
He found his certification in his bag and handed it to the lady.
"You can see the details on this situation yourself so please, tell me what you think, " Jaehwang said while they again waited patiently.
"Did you find their corpses? That's all I would need to see to believe you. Did you report the sighting? Where is it!?
Tak!
"What!!" The lady then stood up and walked away, causing her chair to fall down onto the floor. All of the soldiers felt very offended by her lack of respect.
A short lawyer then took a few steps back but they noticed him. He knew who they were. He was a part of a Korean clan.
The reason he left and came to America was that he was offered better pay. He was on illegal confinement and received a message, saying he was pushed out of the National Hunter Association. After that, all he wanted to do was find them.
At moment he began to say something...
'Huh?'
He then heard some footsteps.
Duek... deuk... deuk...
Suddenly his knees started to shake. The footsteps had stopped. It seems that they've wanted to keep going but couldn't go any further and it was as if he was being blocked. It wasn't like any legal force, he suddenly had a hunch that he should be quiet.
'I could die if I take another step. '
He felt as if he couldn't control his own body and soon, an angry feeling began to well up inside of him. He felt a numb feeling slowly making his way through his body starting from his feet and at the tip of his fingers.
It was something that he had experienced before and it happened every time he came close to a monster.
Tak...
He then felt something on his shoulder. His knees had gone completely week and when he looked back, he was surprised at what he saw.
"Sir."
"Step aside."
"But..."
"Looks like there could have been a big problem even if we were just a little late."
"Yeah... What's that..."
"I would alert the National Defense of the country but there's an important visitor there at the moment." One of them said as he took a few steps back while his commander walked forward.
He looked at his commander with a face full of anxiety. Obviously, he was very worried about what they could possibly encounter. Especially after all the of the news broadcasting about the monsters around them.
They came through the seventh gate to get to Virginia to complete their task. The military patrol there were very strong but his commander was even stronger. He could easily tear them in half as if they were just a piece of paper.
Monsters didn't even stand a chance against him. After looking around for a moment, Jaehwang reached out his hand. Derek then stepped back even more.
A lot of things have changed with the American army and those who were in charge. Just like the battle before, it wasn't exactly a war against monsters but it did contribute a lot to it.
Three people stood right before them and they immediately recognized one of them. If they had enemies in Virginia then they could not risk disobeying their leader. As long as they did what he said, everything should go well.
He then handed out his hand.
"I heard that the hunters in this neighborhood gave Alexander Hamilton their responsibilities. This could be some kind of trap."
A free-spirited looking guy then walked towards them. Jaehwang then recognized him and smiled.
—How's your head?
—It's fine, better than it used to be.
—Good.
Everything was going great at the time. The friendly atmosphere was a little suspicious so they decided to relax as they kept up their guards.
"My name is Jeon Jaehwang, " Jaehwang said as he reached out his hand. The guy looked at him with an expressionless face. Of course, he was very surprised on the inside but even so, he just calmly shook his hand.
"Nice to meet you. I've heard a lot about you, " he said.
Jaehwang was clearly a young hunter so he was too surprised by his strength.
"So, what brings you here?" He asked Jaehwang.
"Yesterday a group of defense hunters for the state harmed our friend Timothy so we're here for an apology from them and get them punished legally."
"Hm, I understand. The files." The guy replied as he handed over the files. He opened it up and read a paragraph of a page before he closed it once again.
"I want to say that it's because of my carelessness but it's clearly the fault of the tragedy of the American Hunter System."
He shook his head and commander then smirked.
"How strong is he?"
It was kind of obvious for him to see how strong he was just by looking at him. He seemed more powerful than he could even imagine.
Pong pong!
Suddenly, the ceiling started to break immediately after a loud explosion. The marble floor began to break into pieces as the commander stepped onto it.
He was quietly using a skill on Jaehwang.
'Strength Restriction'
His skill acted as if it was a spider web trapping him. It seemed as if it was far too strong for him to break, however, Jaehwang just placed his hood over his head.
"Just as I heard, you're very confident."
Whoosh...
Immediately, he became surrounded by energy. He began to use his legend skill that took a lot of his power, Jaehwang was only more powerful than him by about one percent. Everyone watching then turned pale in fright as they continued on and the first one to finally speak was the commander.
"Phew. Okay... That's enough..."
He said in a tired tone. The commander reached out both of his hands and made his floating energy disappear. A crowd of hunters then rushed through the door.
The hunter in the lead instantly stopped as soon as he recognized Jaehwang.
"He the reason for the accident."
Jaehwang wasn't completely sure about what was going on but all of the hunters that entered the room looked at him.
"Who are you, " the commander said with an angry look on his face.
"I am a hunter for the Virginia Defense team-"
Pong ponggg! Kwang Kwang!!!
Before he could even finish speaking, they attacked.
"Oh, sorry. My hand often speaks before I do..." He said as he took a small towel out of his pocket to wipe the blood off of his hands.
"Soldiers..."
"Yes, sir?"
"Let's get to work."
The Chase, The end.
