The International Guild Conference. An important event where guilds representing each country are invited to discuss the current events and future prospects of the hunter world.
A few days ago, The american hunter bureau announced the list of invited guilds. Ahjin guild of korea, the participation became a hot topic worldwide. The only top ranked hunter registered to the ahjin guild was just Sung JinWoo, The guildmaster.
However, the american hunter bureau recognized the fact that this man alone possessed enough strength to rival a great number of guilds with many top ranked hunters.
China did not adopt the international standard for ranking hunters, instead used their own. The highest rank was the five star rank, however one person was given seven star rank. That was Liu Zhigeng.
USA, Sacevenger Guild
The scavenger guild in America is a building that consist 50 floors and giant billbiard atop of the building with Scavenger symbol. On the top floor is where the guildmaster office located, Thomas and his secretary laura is in the office.
"Hunter SungJinwoo is expected to arrive in the US tomorrow." Laura said.
"It's already the day before, huh?" Thomas said looking at the city through the office window.
"Did you call me, sir?" A hunter said comes to thomas office.
"Ah, perfect timing!" Thomas look back and turned around. "There's something i need to tell you."
"Yes?" The hunter said.
"I'll get straight to the point." Thomas walk straight to the front of the hunter. "Do not mess with Sung JinWoo, Mister Hwang!" He begin to warned and threaten the hunter with his mad grin.
The hunter name was Hwang Dongsu, he is now look nervous and cold sweat formed on his forehead.
"I know what happened to your brother and hunter Sung JinWoo." Thomas said. "I'm sure you have your suspicions and want to know what exactly happened."
"But..." Hwang Dongsu have a cold sweat and want to talk but suddenly there is a strong pressure and aura coming from thomas, he make a shut up sign to Hwang Dongsu making him startled.
"I don't recall giving you permission to speak!" Thomas grinning madly and his eyes glowing yellow.
Hwang Dongsu began to cold sweat and grit his teeth, he is scared shitless of thomas because of his power and what he is going to do to him if he disobey him.
'Just keep your mouth shut...' Laura stand on the far side looking at both of their confrontation. 'Not many people can give such a threatening warning to a top-Ranked hunter.'
'As expected of thomas.' Laura thought. 'But... this man, Hwang Dongsu, also has a strong obsession to his targets.'
"Don't ever lay your hand on Sung JinWoo." Thomas grip his shoulder. "Go take a break in one of the villas owned by the guild during the conference period."
"Well? will you accept my plead?" Thomas ask.
There is only silence and Hwang Dongsu didn't answer thomas question. "Mister Hwang?"
"... Alright." Hwang Dongsu said.
"Good. You may leave." Thomas said.
Hwang Donsu turned around and leave the room. "Is it taken care of, now?" Laura ask.
"Nah, no way he just over it from that." Thomas didn't believe Dongsu will just stay silent and didn't do anything to get his revenge against Sung JinWoo. "Laura, Keep mister hwang under strict surveillance until Sung JinWoo leaves the US."
"Will he... accept this?" Laura ask.
"Well... being a little frustrated is better than being dead, I'm sure." Thomas said.
Hwang Dongsu have veins all over his face and neck, he is fuming with anger and gritted his teeth. He will definetly going to disobey Thomas order and get his revenge on Sung JinWoo.
"Hey, Laura... is the asgard guild is invited?" Thomas ask, he wanted to know if adgard guild is going to be invited.
"Yes, although they are not representing America, they are still get invited to the conference to join or not." Laura said.
"Is that so?" Thomas said. "Well, since they accept the invitation, things going to be a lot more interesting." Yellow eyes began to glow.
Laura look at thomas, she know thomas has a close friendship to the Guildmaster especially Vice-Guildmaster of Asgard. When the Vice-Guildmaster of asgard take action on any raid, he knew that the Vice-Guildmaster will win.
A Few Days Later

The international Guild Conference was about to begin, the building where the conference will begin being mobbed by many cameras and reporters are taking pictures of the guildmasters and Vice-Guildmasters of different guilds from many different countries.
There are also many important people outside of the building. People inside the building are taking many pictures of guildmasters.
"Why there are so many reporters?" The man said, with blonde hair wearing a suit and long blue coat.
He is the representative of Germany, The Ricther Guild, Lennart Niermann.
"That korean hunter everyone's talking about is scheduled to arrive today." The man said beside Lennart.
"Oooh. He's coming? Lennart ask.
"Speak of the devil, he's right there." The man said.
"Should we go and exchange greetings?, No harm in getting acquaintainced with a strong hunter." Lennart said looking at Sung JinWoo.
Meanwhile, thor with ashley, amanda, and his family are on their way to the conference with a limousine. They are wearing business suits. "What do you think kind of guildmasters will be there?" Kate said.
"Maybe most the guildmasters will be warriors or mages, and also most of them will be man." Theo said.
"I figure that out too but I really wanted to see how strong the guildmasters are from differemt countries." Kate said.
"Yeah, we only meet strong hunters from america including our guild but not from another country." Theo said.
They are talking with happiness making thor, diana, ashley, and amanda smile at them. "So, what are we going to do after we arrive?" Diana ask.
"Of course, we are going to attend the conference but it's up to you and thor if you want to join." Ashley said.
"Wait... me and thor won't join the conference if we want to?" Diana ask, surprised.
"Of course, this conference only be joined by guildmasters only, Vice-Guildmasters can join or nor if they wanted to." Ashley said.
"So thor, is the reason you want to come because you want to join the conference?" Ashley ask.
"No, I will not join the conference." Thor said surprising the three of them. "What?!, But why, I thought the reason you come because you wanted to join the conference?" Ashley ask.
The three of them are confused of why thor wanted to join the conference with his family. "Because, there is a friend I want to met." Thor smirk.
The three of them look at each other still confused of thor's answer.
[I wanted to join this conference to meet my friend from china, Liu Zhigeng.]
Diana look at thor and knew who the man he talk about, she knew about Liu Zhigeng and already met him once when thor was about to make asgard guild. He is a seven star hunter from china and one of the national hunters, but she is suspicious because that must not be the only one thor was here for.
An hour later, they arrived at the conference building where there are many reporters and important people are in front of the building, there are also people in suits escorting and guarding different guildmasters that are attending the international conference.
They begin to walk out of the limousine one by one, a reporter suddenly notice their arrival. "Hey look! It's the asgard Guild!" A reporter shout attracting many reporters and people including the guildmasters from different country.
Many reporters began to take pictures of them while they walk to the building. "So that's asgard guildmaster and Vice-Guildmaster." Lennart said looking at ashley and donald.
"Yeah, I heard their grandmaster is an S-Ranker and have two more S-Rankers in their guild." The man beside Lennart said.
"I heard it too, kate prince and theodora prince, they are Vice-Guildmaster's daughters." Lennart said.
Thor meanwhile is looking at Sung JinWoo.
[Sung JinWoo will kill Hwang Dongsu, Hwang Dongseok' younger brother. Amd I agree he should kill them both. I didn't mind that because both of them are evil and greedy. Hwang Dongseok have trap and kill many hunters, stealing their rewards, and threaten them by using his brother name because Dongsu join the Scavengers guild.]
Diana look at thor and knew there must be anither reason he attend this conference, this must be why thor come to this conference, although diana agree with thor that Hwang Dongsu and Hwang Dongseok must die.
The next day, Hwang Dongsu is dead killed by Sung JinWoo and Thomas is hospitalized. Thor, diana, ashley, and amanda are joining the conference while his daughters are outside doing who knows what.
Thor see Liu Zhigeng at the far side, he will greet him after the conference is over. Many people are silent see Sung JinWoo enter the room including Liu Zhigeng.
At the conference talk about the number of gates being generated has shot up and stronger monsters have started to appear, Christopher reid death, Sung JinWoo' father who is suspected to kill christopher, and Sung JinWoo even threaten every single hunter guild in the world to protect his family.
The conference is over and people started to walk out of the room, he see ashley and amanda are chatting with other people while he and diana are just standing and silent.
Thor see Liu Zhigeng is walking towards JinWoo with many bodyguards around him, JinWoo and Zhigeng began to talk one another mostly about the recent events amd fighting the giants but on the end Zhigeng hoping a reason that "suspect s" isn't his family.
When Zhigeng was about to walk away, he heard a sound. "Hey, Zhigeng, long time no see." Zhigeng stop and see the one who called him.
He see thor, diana, and his entire family are coming. "Well, well, well, If isn't donald blake." He is grinning with his yellow eyes at them, Zhigeng knew about his real identity and his real family.
"I am surprise you come to the conference, you usually don't like this kind of event." Donald said.
"Hahaha, I don't have a choice, at first I don't want to come and want somebody else to represent china but they forced me to do it so in the end, I have do it." Liu Zhigeng said.
The people who see Zhigeng laugh become surprise including Sung JinWoo, they are surprise to see him talking with donald blake, they thought that Liu Zhigeng will ignore donald and go away but they are chatting to each other like a long time friend.
"Well, I just came here to see my friend who i haven't seen fir a long time and greet you." Donald said.
"Well, I am touched by your words." Zhigeng smirked.
"Oh, by the way, I come with the Guildmasters and her secretary also my wife and children." Thor said gesturing to them.

"Kate, theo, it looks like you two are also coming." Zhigeng smile at those two greets him, he met both of them about three times and call him uncle, he felt old and funny to see himself as an uncle.
The people didn't know what are they talking about because they don't understand chinese, but the chinese people knew what they said. They are surprise that kate and theo called him uncle, for they know Liu Zhigeng didn't have any family and what surprise them more he is smiling at them and greet them.
When Liu Zhigeng was about to talk suddenly a man approach him and whispered in his ear, Liu Zhigeng began to understand. "It's nice to meet all of you, but I still have important things I have to do in china." Liu Zhigeng said.
"It's okay, you are a strong hunter so you must be busy." Thor said.
"Alright, I will be going." Liu Zhigeng began to walk away and return to china.
"Goodbye, Uncle Liu Zhigeng." Kate and theo said.
Liu Zhigeng just waving his hand and look back smirking then walk away to return to china.
"We also should need to go home because we don't have anything to do here." Thor said.
They agree to what thor said and they began to go home, while Sung JinWoo who is standing away from them hearing and watching their conversation with Liu Zhigeng. 'When the hell Donald blake and Liu Zhigeng are familiar withe each other?' JinWoo thought.
