Shawn, and the people at the conference table got shocked. Lucas being known for his spicy mouth, but this time, his curses were serious.
"You damn traitor. You took that monster's data from that jerk, that means you're submitting to him, and I really hate that."
The atmosphere became even hotter because of the conflict between two of the three leaders.
But Shawn had expected that and didn't want to take it too seriously.
"Well, it can't be helped. He saved us, and he alone conquered the Catastrophe. Without him, we definitely couldn't - "
"Yeah-yeah, I fking know that, I'm sick of hearing that fact."
Lucas got up from his chair, slowly grabbing people's attention.
"I don't hate the idea of that person's existence on this Floor. But, I hate him, and I hate those who are close to him. Because of that, fck you, Shawn. "
"Sorry, and thanks for your opinion," Shawn replied casually.
"Fck you too, people!"
Lucas's shouting made the atmosphere quieter, and questions regarding Lucas's statement began to appear.
"Fck you, to those of you who casually sit back while I face death to keep this Floor safe! The worst thing is, you guys don't look proud of what I did! Because of that, fck you! Fck you! Fck you! Fck y - "
Lucas stopped when he was going to aim for Ian. "Yeah, all of you, fck you!"
After cursing, Lucas walked away from the meeting.
"Where do you want to go?" asked Jordan.
"I don't know, maybe I'll go to Seven Color Stone Mountain, and start a new life as a stone farmer like Arknite players do."
As Lucas walked out, Jimmy came inside with two of his men.
"Hey, Lucas, where are you going?"
"Nothing to do with you, and fck you."
Jimmy didn't understand why Lucas was angry like that. At first glance at the situation, it seemed like there was an argument between that person and the meeting.
"Fine then, if you don't want your share."
"My share?"
Lucas stopped and turned around to see what Jimmy wanted to do.
"Sorry for being late, did I interrupt the session?"
"No, you even came at the right time," replied Shawn.
Jimmy's arrival made the atmosphere a little chaotic. Because everyone knows that Jimmy is Greedy Young Master's subordinate.
"We just finished a data logging meeting on [Floor 1 Catastrophe] and [Grandfather Tree]."
"Oh, okay, then, can I take over this meeting?"
"Yes, you can."
Everyone's attention is on Jimmy, and what he wanted to talk about. But before Jimmy could begin, Ian spoke up.
"What do you want?"
"That's why I'm taking over this meeting."
Well, that makes sense. After that, no one wanted to open a big voice.
Jimmy, who previously wanted to leave, then returned to his seat.
Jimmy asked for a paper from his men. Then start talking.
"Alright, first I want to say I'm sorry because my existence is not welcome here, actually. I came here with two Affairs for this floor."
Affair has 5 levels of importance brought by a person; Hunter, Party, Family, Territory, and Floor.
The higher the affairs, the higher the discussion, and usually only high-ranking people such as a family leader or an emperor could carry Floor-level Affairs.
"First, we from the Greedy Dragon Family would like to thank the Hunters who took part in the battle with Catastrophe before the Greedy Young Master came."
The news from Concern shocked everyone. Especially for Ian, who is a Platinum Hunter.
"We will provide compensation in the form of money for the participants. We will also pay for long care for Hunter, who is seriously injured."
At that statement, Lucas grabbed his right hand, then innocently said: "I thought I sprained my hand from yesterday's fight."
Jimmy continued. "Doesn't anyone want to ask anything regarding the previous statement?"
While everyone was just spouting questions, Ian raised his hand. "When was that family formed? I have heard no announcements regarding the formation of a new family in this past year."
Everyone thought the same thing as Ian.
There, Jimmy asked for something more from his men. Then he showed an object that looked strange, and only Ian realized what that is.
" [Proof Conquest of Woods of Giant Leaf Medal]! This is a medal that could only be obtained from Dungeon conquest. This medal is the main condition needed to form a family."
Everyone glared in surprise at once. A commotion over the topic of the medal broke out.
"So that is a medal!"
"I could only hear about it before!"
"Me too, this is the first time we can see that thing in person!"
Everyone wondered in admiration, except for the only Platinum Hunter on the spot.
"Where did you guys get that thing?" asked Ian sarcastically.
Jimmy just smiled arrogantly at Ian's statement, then continued talking.
"With all of your witnesses, we will form the Greedy Dragon Family in this West Station Guild Building."
Questions were once again popping up in everyone's mouth regarding this very sudden important statement.
Jimmy did not care about all that, then gave a medal to one of his men. The two men, holding a paper each, went to the reception desk.
Sometime after they went to the reception desk.
Ding ~ Tung ~ Ding ~ Tung ~
The sound of the announcement notification sounded for the third time. But that time it sounded twice, which meant that the announcement to be notified was being broadcast live to all the Guild Buildings that had been liberated, meaning all the Hunters on the 2nd and 3rd Floor will know about the announcement too.
[Family: Greedy Dragon. Leader: Greedy Young Master. Territory of Powers: 1st Floor. Today it has legally established with witnesses of the entire West Station's Abyssal Hunter]
That is so surprising. Even Shawn, who thought it would happen, couldn't escape the shock.
Ian, as the highest ranked Hunter on the spot, is very much against the incident.
"Floor 1 is a floor that is forbidden to be controlled by anyone. If you break it, it means you declare enmity against all Hunters."
The amendment has existed since the Saints passed it. Even though Ian was very much against it, he could not prevent it, because violence strictly prohibited where they were at that time, Guild Building.
But once again, Jimmy only responded with an arrogant smile.
Ding ~ Tung ~ Ding ~ Tung ~
"Again?"
Ian remembered that two of Jimmy's men each brought paper. That means they have two covenants to pass.
[The entire area of today's 1st floor being purchased under the name of Greedy Young Master]
"Nobody can forbid someone to control their own land, right?" asked Jimmy smugly.
Everyone gaped at the notice.
"What?" Become a statement spoken by everyone.
But not for the Platinum Hunter, "Buha, buhahahahaha!" Ian laughed so hard he burst into tears. "This shit is so funny!"
Ian's laughter became an additional shock for everyone.
"Ahh, it's been a long time since I laughed this hard. Thank you for the show."
"Ur welcome," Jimmy replied.
Ian got up from his chair. His men followed him.
"Let's get out of here, bois. At least because of this, I don't regret wasting my time going to the place of these weak people."
Before actually leaving, Ian had one last question.
"Tell me, Jimmy, where is your master now? Why didn't he come here himself? "
"For some reason, he doesn't want to attract attention. And now, maybe he is regretting his decision."

Bella felt sad, seeing her partner was silent for a long time by holding his head with both hands.
That can't be helped, because his best friend, Randi, got infected after fighting with Catastrophe yesterday.
Bella walked closer to Ars, then gently hugged her partner from behind. Trying to provide mental support.
"200k Cash just for this cheap Floor," murmured Ars.
'Ah, so you're regretting that.'
Apparently, his partner was regretting a decision that gave his wallet financial problems.
