Chapter 75 - Hunters

At the Hunter Associaton's base, inside the monitor room, everyone had their eyes on the huge monitor. They were too stunned to react, as what they could see in the monitor was a glitch that had no sure results. And with such an event, everyone realized that they had work to do.

Staff members moved quickly to complete menial tasks and write reports on what happened that day. And one of the report's staff members exited the monitor room, leaving a large warning on the monitor.

[Warning: A Glitch in the recording of an Awaken happened in the Line City, District Wish. Until Record is A-Rank.]

The staff member rushed into the office of their superior. And as he had a piece of paper in his hands, containing the report, he immediately put it on their superior's table with his head lowered in respect.

The superior was an old man with a white beard. He had a symbol on his uniform that indicated his high rank in the Huner Association. And as he picked up the report, he read it thoroughly. 

After a couple of seconds, his eyes widened with interest. His blood started jumping in excitement as he discovered what the Hunter Association had discovered. Then, he faced the staff member and uttered his order.

"Redirect this report to the lower office. I will start a meeting and be sure that everyone will attend." With a serious but excited face, the superior spoke.

"Yes, sir."

The superior then stood up and fixed his uniform. He took a coat hanging just near his side and wore it, leaving his room seconds later. Written all over his face were excitement and greed. He walked down the lobby, as if daydreaming, all the way to the meeting room.

This was his chance to raise his achievement level, as a good plan was all that was on his mind. 

An hour had passed, the superior and other members had arrived and gathered inside the meeting hall. Holding the paper of the report, he raised it and smiled.

"Good news! We found a subject. Coming from the District Wish, and also just a new Awaken from that district." The superior said.

But, even with how excited he was, other members begged to differ with his emotion. They were not smiling; instead, their eyes were just dead serious, looking at him with disgust.

Some of them were ridiculed for his actions. Inside of their heads were sneers. They were not even slightly moved by his actions, with their eyes rolling around in disdain. 

"Here you are again, credit grabber." One of the members stated, which made the superior irritated and react aggressively. He then looked for that person who talked and then pointed his fingers at this person.

It was a pretty lady who spoke to him that way. She had a slim body and ample breasts, visible through her tightened uniform. This lady stood up and swayed her blonde hair and darted her blue eyes.

"What did you just say?" The superior asked in a low tone, hinting that he was insulted by the lady's remark.

"Nothing. I was just stating what was happening, credit grabber. Don't act like you are excited about our unit. It doesn't work like that for you." The lady said with a flat tone.

And, as the superior just listened to her, his fist clenched, crumpling the papers into a ball.

"I apologize if I didn't hear you well, but can you say it again?"

"Are you deaf or has your thick brain just blocked your ears? Don't even start with me." The lady responded with a fierce tone.

Everyone else was quiet with their static faces, didn't even react to the argument that was rising in their surroundings.

The superior just had a frowning face and started to pace near the lady. The lady just stood straight and watched her superior approach her with an annoyed face. However, it was obvious that he was just calming himself not to explode at the same time.

The lady stood straight in front of her superior and lifted her chin confidently.

Her superior gave her a discerning look, then went down to see the name of the lady.

"Oh..." The superior raised an eyebrow and then commented, "You were the newbie. I see... So you still didn't know me that well."

The lady smirked and scoffed, then moved back to put some distance between them. She shook her head with a serious face.

"No... I already know you, Poland. However, what I know about you is kind of different from what you think you know."

Poland's eyes narrowed and then asked, "What was it?"

"Hmmm... Poland Oligario Sr. You have three counts of falsification of documents and five counts of fake achievements. That's all I know about you."

Poland just went blank and stepped backward. He shook his head and scoffed.

"Another accusation without solid proof. Did you come here and act like that in front of me, your superior, because you are confident in the rumor you heard about?" Poland uttered it with a ridiculed tone.

"Don't act smart in front of me, bitch. We are here for a meeting, not for your ego, which couldn't remain respectful towards me." He added, but he was not done after that.

"How about it? Will you listen to me and have your job still in your hands and work, or will you leave with a resignation paper?"

Poland, this time was calmer. He eventually ignored all of the lady's provocation and acted righteously. He wasn't taken in by what she said, which was why he pretended to be confident in front of her.

However, the lady ignored what he said and continued scoffing. She even darted him another dead serious eye that could be considered a glare.

"Wow... you are acting as if you were my superior." The lady uttered, which made Poland tilt his head in confusion.

"What are you saying, bitch?"

"Have you heard about the Supreme Council?"

"What?"

"You didn't know? The Supreme Council was the agency above all of the agencies in the government. Which means that even a normal agent can have more power than a chairman of an agency."

"What are you talking about? I know about it, so what is it?"

After she finished speaking, the lady simply smiled viciously, which caused Poland's hair to stand up.

"What do you think about it? Why am I acting like this?" The lady asked, but then Poland froze and didn't move.

"I am from the Supreme Council, the one you are calling, bitch."

Because of the information about Roger's appearing as an A-Ranker in the District Wish, some of the officials in the District OVerdrive were infuriated. They initially kept a record of it and had a thorough understanding of who Roger was and how he ended up in the District Overdrive when it was impossible for a district that weak to have an Awaken higher than C.

Records and present theories say that a C-ranker or lower has less chance of having an A-ranked as their child. That was why the highest rank that was allowed to live in the District Wish was C.

However, with this event, the officials of the District Overdrive were unable to fix it. As a result, they dispatched some of their men to bring Roger to the District Overdrive.

But, they immediately paused to move as more information about Roger emerged before their eyes. 

Roger had already made plans to move to the District Overdrive. 

This report came from investigators from the Information Agency who took a mission a few months ago to investigate the rise of Awakens in Line City. However, they declared that it was an error in the system, but they included Roger's existence instead.

In their report, which was sent from a specific route on the internet, they told the agency that there was an A-Ranker in the District Wish, controlling a city.

However, it was a bizarre one, as what they included in their report was that he was still a kid, a high schooler to be specific.

Everyone was surprised to learn of it, but since the investigators were reputable in their jobs, their report was not doubted.

And then, a decision from the officials was finalized: it was to bring Roger to the District Overdrive calmly. They wanted to investigate Roger more. That was why they were being vigilant about his actions or personality that were not included in the report.

It was obvious that there were flaws or missing parts in the report. However, it was understandable as the route was difficult to pass by and also that the investigators were hiding something.

But, because of their contribution to this, they were not questioned further. The officials just concluded the decision to carry out their order to bring Roger calmly to the District Overdrive.

Meanwhile, in Roger's house, he was facing his family with his saddened face, bidding his farewell to them before he left.

They were sad about it. Their bodies were making hesitating movements as they couldn't accept or even register that Roger would leave their sides.

However, Roger had already made up his mind as he didn't want to cause more problems for his family if he didn't abide by the law. It was also crucial for his family's safety, and he also trusted his men to protect them on his behalf.

He already had a plan to bring his family to the District Overdrive after becoming famous and raising his privilege.
