Time skip:

A week have passed since the korea announced his two S-rank hunter, while the hot news still was about madara and Sung jinwoo other than that there were news about ants flying over to the nearby seas port villages and kidnapping humans, but they don't know what happen after that, it was basically said that they were dead unless they were training the humans.

As two S-rank hunter were announced on the same day, whereas madara rudely talking to the reporters and Sung Jinwoo saving, Lee Minsung Bodyguard when madara was about to attack him and the the way he humbly responded to the reporters and everyone, reporters made Sung Jinwoo a total angel while madara a devil because of attacking a normal citizen (Lee Minsung Bodyguard) they are like hoarding all years rating and TRP all at once like they going to die tomorrow.

During this one week, Madara had cleared many A and B rank dungeons and accumulated enough money to buy a house and some equipment. In the case of equipment he was just curious and nothing else, he at least wanted a Katana or something for himself or a gunbai, or a reaper as he is proficient in those weapons.

He had already told about this to Park min-young (his secretary), he told her to look for an average house not too big or too small, but an average house where he can live.

He didn't regret taking the secretary even though it was forced, as now he didn't have to deal with anything like calls from association and media for interview and guild recruitment.

Yesterday he gotten a message from the association, seeing that Min-young told him about this was already enough to tell that it was not the message or call to be ignored, but it wasn't a forced message or meeting too that he just had to attend no matter what, but he decided to attend it, as the boring cycle of clearing dungeon then again clearing dungeon and then again and again was boring to say the least.

"Is the car ready?" Madara asked as he wore his black suit, he was looking like a badass character no matter how you looked.

"Yes Sir!" Answered Park Min-young, in her secretary dress.

"Well! Let's go, the guests may already be waiting in the association, I hope it will be fun."

Madara with a smile exited the room he was staying in, followed by Min-young.

~~~~~

Madara reached association considerably faster as the hotel he was temporarily staying in was closer to the association

Min-young with her driving skills parked the car in front of the association parking lot.

Madara exited the car as so his secretary, madara began to walk towards the entrance, but this time there were no reporters here, but Woo jinchul was waiting for him with two men each side of him probably waiting for madara or someone else.

"Don't just lead the way to where the meeting is!"

Madara straight up told Woo jinchul to just lead the way and forget about pleasantries as it would just waste time.

After entering the association Madara woo jinchul led the way for him to the meeting that was supposed to happen or was happening.

Madara was now walking towards some other floor where the meeting lounge was and upon arriving Woo jinchul opened the door for madara, and upon entering he was met with yet another many unfamiliar faces of hunters.

But also two familiar faces when he came here for the evaluation, Madara really forgot about two of them about the thing he said about the proposal but it wasn't time yet so there wasn't any need to worry not like he was to begin with.

Madara looked at the side where there were hunters from japan, he had already researched about many things from the internet and it didn't took him that much time, and from those thing he learned he instantly recognised them to be S-rank hunters of japan, as there were many articles about the hunters present here on the internet.

And supposedly the strongest one name Goto Ryuji, Madara, remembers about him being on the line taking a title of national level hunter for Japan.

'Is he supposed to be the Japan strongest hunter, there is nothing special about him other than his stiff and overconfident face and his murderous intent that he isn't even trying to hide.'

Madara thought as he went towards the korean S-rank hunter where he sat beside the two who he knew.

"What is this atmosphere? Planning to kill someone." Madara chuckled at Goto Ryuji as he directed his killing intent on Madara.

Madara didn't get a response as he just sat there and said suddenly, "if it is me, I hope you had a 'will' prepared in case you don't return."

"You sure talk rudely as the internet says." Goto Ryuji, with his killing intent now subsided said as to mocking madara.

Just as someone from Japan was about to say something, the door to the room suddenly opened as Go Gunhee Entered.

"I hope I didn't make you wait too long. I think my age is getting to me now."

Go Gunhee walked after entering and sit upon the chair that was meant to him.

"I'm happy that you decided to come here Madara even though I thought you wouldn't."

"I was just bored to be honest so no worries." Madara said honestly, he wouldn't even come here if it was for hoping for something interesting.

"Hahahaha.. your way of answering everything is just too unique Madara. But anyway I'm happy that you decided to come here."

Go Gunhee internally happy sigh, it was all for it, Go Gunhee was Counting on Madara on this supposed Jeju Island raid. He also tried to contact Sung Jinwoo but in the past week his all method of contacting him failed.

So, all his bets were on Madara now.

~~~~~~~~

The ten S-rank hunters of japan were sitting one side on the chair while on the opposite were korea S-rank hunters total of 4 including Madara.

Go Gunhee was about to start his briefing on why he summoned madara here in this meeting and what was this meeting about.

"So, what is this gathering about?" Madara asks as he puts his hand on the table in front of him and his head on his hand.

Instead of getting answered from Go Gunhee, someone from the Japanese side answered, but they weren't the one that were sitting but a petite and thin lady who spoke up, "My name is Hanakawa and I will be in charge of translating. I will relay Goto-san words from here on out."

"Due to the disaster that occurred a few days ago, we have decided that we can no longer neglect Jeju Island anymore. Thus from here on out we propose a joint raid of Korean and Japanese hunters, and hence we promise our full-fledged support to South korea."

Hanakawa briefs the situation in a simpler way so that the matter can be called out immediately and no waste talks.

'Full-fledged support! How interesting, I don't know who will believe this nonsense other than someone stupid, their intentions are showing on their faces…. But still it will be interesting to see them fighting.'

"In short, the reason I came here is…. How about we unite and create an allied force composed of elite hunters?"

Goto spoke up with a calm face, and directly called out why he came here.

'If it was a week ago, i wouldn't even have known what they were talking about, but I already read about Jeju island and the ant colony.'

The gate spawned on Jeju Island about four years ago. Due to how weak the Korean S-Rank Hunters were at the time, they failed to close the gate and it eventually underwent a dungeon break, resulting in the deaths of thousands of Korean civilians and turning the island into a wasteland no longer fit for human habitation.

Over the next three years, the Korean government launched three search-and-destroy missions on the island to no success. When the third raid resulted in the death of Eunseok, one of their prized S-Rank Hunters, the Korean government formally abandoned their efforts to reclaim Jeju and decided to leave the island alone in hopes that the ants would eventually perish on their own by starving to death when their food supply eventually ran out.

'To think they just decided to leave that dungeon as it is just so that it can be solved on its own, and to do that just because they lost one S-rank hunter, no wonder he was that happy when I signed the citizenship contract.'

Madara as getting the full picture of this meeting here, no wonder Go Gunhee was actually thinking about this joint raid and wasn't rejecting it.

'And Japan is helping Korea, don't make me laugh, they have a motive here, they should have waited and let Korea reach them in a favourable condition.'

Madara was already deducing japan intention from just this small talks and what he read online about Jeju island and the ant colony.

'The way japan approached korea on its own, they definitely have some intention here, like…. killing the remaining S-rank hunter of korea or most of them, weakening them to the lowest point, ao they won't stand and no one would even think that japan was in it, as they were the one approached to help. Like saying if they wanted to kill korean hunters they wouldn't have helped korea in this raid and it would have resulted in korea hunters getting killed in that raid.'

Madara was deducing everything he can or what their motive is even if it was a little, and if it was not true it can be just a thought from the countless one he thought until now.

'They probably would have felt threatened a little bit after two S-rank hunters emerged in just one day. And maybe they are here to take me in this raid, seeing how he acted towards me, it will not be a pleasant persuasion but a forceful 'come with us or die', they sure have thought way ahead to come up with something like this.'

Madara was mostly right or fully right about this but what he didn't anticipate was that they also wanted to hoard all the magic crystal from the Jeju island for themselves.

They talked about it and Madara just listened about this and nothing more. Hanakawa explain how could they clear this raid with most efficient way, they also told about the roles they will be taking and the other side, and how they will be fighting the ant from outside and they will attract all the ant by taking the lead first and then keeping them distract enough for the korean hunters to go to the inside lair where the queen of the ants is and killing it.

Then they can just retreat from it and all the ants will just die in the period of 1 year, as they have only a life span of 1 year only.

'This plan is effective and most efficient without losing too much, if they can just kill the queen they can just kill the remaining ant over time, with many raids or just wait for a year to reclaim the island again and claim magic crystal raids from the island.'

Madara was slowly getting all the points from the talks, while certain hunters of japan were assessing madara, they were looking at him with disdainful eyes, for them he was someone who abandoned his country and was a traitor to them.

Of course Go Gunhee has already think about it as he got a brief report early on, and why he called other S-rank hunters here was for this and to hear their opinion.

'The plan could be more perfect, but still it is a good plan…. But still didn't they think of the worst possible outcome, the Japanese association is taking this one too lightly here, as it is a child's play, maybe they have been living in glory for a while.'

Go Gunhee turned towards the hunters of Korea to hear their opinion, "so, what do you think?"

Choi Jong-In was the first to answer, "I don't think we will lose something from this, all we have to do is take the queen fast, I think this is a good plan. And I think you have already thought about it, So I don't think there will be any problem if you have already reviewed it, Mr. Chairman."

"I agree too." Baek Yoonho also agreed and just answered swiftly as Choi jong-in already said pretty much everything he was thinking.

"Me too. I agree." Ma Dongsook said with enthusiasm in his voice.

"Madara, what do you think?" Go Gunhee glanced towards madara and asked him, hoping for his input too in this.

"I don't see a problem…. As to why we shouldn't accept this proposal. They pretty much explained all of it. So, if you want to hear my opinion too, then I agree too."

Madara answered, he didn't see much of a problem in this, he doesn't need help and he can clear it alone if he wanted to, but if he does that, 'then it will not be that much interesting and fun.'

How was it? Review!
