They had been receiving a lot of support from the other clans ever since that announcement has been aired. The only problem was that they now had to worry about attacks since they're plan has been let out.
The thing with the Daehyon clan was also a different one. They were much more vicious than the others.
"Is everything going okay?"
"The winter is over but it's still cold and our clothing is too light."
"Yes, the seasons are changing indeed"
The Daehyeon clan leader checked in on everything. He took the private elevator and went to the lowest floor of the building to check their protection system after he had a talk with an employee.
There were two men sitting on a sofa. Sitting on its right was a man with messy white hair and on the opposite side of him was a tall, young and a handsome guy with piercing eyes.
"Soungjae, how can the Daehyeon group stop this territory reclaim project that has been going on?"
He walked into the room and the bald-headed man began to speak first. The handsome one then answered, "It'll be difficult. We have a lot of strong people but, all of them are not strong enough."
"Haha, you guys work too hard. Our group doesn't follow such stupid logic..." A young man asked in a mocking tone.
Lee Soungjae... He was the oldest in the group... He always showed great leadership since he was young, leading him to get the most praise out of all the group's past leaders.
When Soungjae went into middle school, his grandfather set him on the path of being a hunter. At the time he wasn't sure if it was the right path for him but, now he couldn't imagine doing anything else.
His skills weren't very good at the time but he trained with his dad every day and improved quickly over time. His skills were good as an athlete and from that point on, he got better and better until he became the leader of a well-known organization.
The road wasn't easy to create this legacy...
He was the grandson of a world famous hunter but he wanted to make a name for himself. Although he admired them, he didn't like to be compared to his predecessors. His father fully supported him and with his coming of age ceremony, he was given the honor of becoming the clan master of the Daehyeon group.
Soungjae then said, "They'll move over here once they're done fixing up Pyeongan. It seems that land has that much value."
Even if they gained new land, they wouldn't be able to move into it right away. They would have to think of a way to keep the monsters out if they chose to retaliate and if not, they would need to find a new place to go. With that being said, that project could turn out to be a bad idea.
"Hm. Looks like we still need to be careful for now. I haven't said anything about this to the president yet. If they managed to fix it up, then..."
The Daehyeon clan had land on the North Korean side so they were happy that it wasn't too close to their new territory project. But the entire situation didn't matter to Soungjae anyway.
"Well, we have still have a lot to do. I started a new job myself, I'll be helping with the gathering of the materials for our weapons and battles, " Soungjae said.
"What? A new job?... Was that your decision?" The old man replied with a surprised tone. His decision would also help those who were in the group. With a job like that, they would always be equipped with the best of what they need.
"It wasn't me. I just suddenly received the job offer."
It made more sense that he wasn't the one who went looking for it but, it was still some good news.
The handsome guy then spoke after a slight moment of silence."We do need materials at the moment so that's great."
"Yeah, but we still need to sort out this issue. When will you tell your dad? We're getting our hands full here."
Everyone then became silent as they thought of what to do. The Daehyeon group had a lot of monster artifacts manufactured for their team. The old guy then said in a quiet voice, "Well, with all the remodeling, they be able to resell it for over 20 percent more than the price they purchased it for. You really should talk to your father about this."
He mentioned talking to Soungjae's father who was the chairman but unfortunately, Soungjae still didn't agree with that decision. Soungjae then quickly made another suggestion, "Maybe we can find out some more information on this first before worrying about anything."
"Sigh..." The old guy just sighed at Soungjae's suggestion.
That attack on their secret laboratory. They actually expected it to happen so much so that they had saved up some funds for that very reason. They were still debating if it's still worth rebuilding.
After a while, their greed has been exposed. That's all the reason why it was built on the first place, money. It was first located in an underground airfield. The facility had contained monsters possessing a variety of skills along with some humans. They also had a mechanism that helped them develop their weapons and improve what they had. They just had their problem when they started bringing the hunters onto the table.
The recruitment was smooth at first but soon, they kicked them out and abandoned them since they had fulfilled their purpose. The humans that they pushed out made the decision to join forces with the Bileons.
Things went well at first for the lab but they knew that it would all be gone soon. Although they were underground, they knew that they still had some problems that they would face. It was actually Soungjae's responsibility to watch over the lab and do his best to keep it safe but he failed and that's the reason why he didn't want to tell it to his father.
"Do we have any leads about the person who broke in and destroyed the lab?" The vice president said as he walked in.
"Not yet. Someone broke in and destroyed it during the closing protocol. I think we would still need at least a month to figure something out." The old guy replied nervously. He looked over to Soungjae make him talk, knowing they wouldn't be angry with him because he was related to the chairman.
"Okay. I can see that neither of you knows pretty much nothing on this matter... Anyway, come on out here. It's time for lunch."
"I'll go, " The old guy replied as he stood up from his seat before he left the room.
"Hey, sir!" Soungjae said walking next to him. The vice president was wearing a neat dark navy blue suit and round glasses.
"What are we you guys doing?"
"We just finished all of the follow-up surveys. His name is Jeon Jaehwang. Apparently, he had dated Han Sooji in the past. He went to an academy to earn his hunter license and that's where Gwanjae met him."
"Hm, he doesn't have any severe injuries?"
"We're not completely sure but it doesn't seem so."
"I see... He must be very powerful. I didn't understand how this could happen at first... What type of hunter is he?"
"The investigation team is currently looking for that information. We're very sorry for the delay." Soungjae replied. They could determine that he's very skilled. A lot of them had witnessed what he could do during that attack in Justin Point.
They tried to check the surveillance but they couldn't find anything on there.
"Are you sure he's the one that broke into the laboratory?"
"We're positive. We checked all of the cameras and we found something." Soungjae said.
"Really? Maybe you guys are onto something. Let me know when you find him."
"Yes, sir."
"Great. Now we have a lead."
"Should we give up on the Pyeongan plan?"
Until then they were focusing on finding a way to thwart their plans.
"No, let's keep up with that as well.."
"But we have to be careful with that one, they had him on their side, " He said in a nervous tone.
Gwanjae... He was one of the most powerful hunters in the world. He is a symbol of Korea and his history wasn't anything to be ignored.
"They are powerful. We're going to have to think this through. However, even the most powerful person can be killed with just a little poison."
"What do you mean?" Songjae asked in confusion.
"I'll explain it more clearly but in the meantime, prepare a chair for the Japanese clan master."
"Yes, sir?"
The vice president left and Soungjae sank down onto his seat. He then walked over to a desk and opened one of its drawers. He took out a box and pried inside for its contents. Inside of it was an old black pill. Soungjae picked it up out of the box and spoke to himself,
"Something exciting will happen. He will meet his wife's ex..."
After saying that, he placed the pill into his mouth and closed his eyes as he swallowed it.
***
Deuk deuk...
He heard a noise inside the forest as he enjoyed their party's celebration. He turned his head towards it and then, he saw a trail of blood.
He only looked for a moment but then, something devoured. his leg and moved on to finish him off.
It looked like a lizard but it was 15 meters long and it had a head with multiple horns. It was a vicious monster with a poisonous bite. He saw its face with its reptilian eyes piercing at him as he blacked out.
It then lifted its head up into the air and came down like lighting onto its next victim.
"Ahhhh!"
Territory Reclaiment 2, The end.
