A white light could be seen from the eighth floor of the building. Jaehwang stood on the outside of the building for a moment. The window looked very old. It looked like it was once a Red Cross hospital. However, it was clear that it has been destroyed and abandoned after the generation mashup. The building was in a terrible condition but because America still really needed the hospital, it was still in use.
People were inside, receiving treatment by the employees that could be found anywhere. It was just as busy as it once was despite its current circumstance. Jaehwang, Derek and his soldiers lined up outside of the building.
“I feel kind of terrible after seeing this place like this.” It was like a scene out of a movie. He felt a bit uneasy even though he was the leader.
“It’s strange but we’ll get used to it.”
“I can’t do this.”
They walked onwards as if they’re there to capture the ones inside but then, they felt a strong force acting as a barrier for the people inside the building. All they had to do was to walk through the door but, of course, even that simple thing was not easy for them to do.
“Hm, it feels as if we’re in Gwanjae’s presence.”
“Y-You’re right…” One of the clan members said in reply to Jaehwang. The moment he called Gwanjae his grandfather, Derek faced his head to the ground. Jaehwang didn’t know this, but at that moment, he was thinking of all the things Jaehwang and Gwanjae had in common.
“Well, let’s get going,”
“Yes, sir!” The other clan members said in reply to Jaehwang. Today, Jaehwang was leading him because of the great power that everyone knew he had.
“Wait.”
Deuk
Derek said before he slightly opened the window so that he could see what’s inside it.
Jikk Jikk Jikk…
The floor would make a creaking sound every time Jaehwang would take a step forward. The rest of the clan members followed right behind him.
“How are we supposed to get to the office in here?”
“Give me a moment to think about it. Ah, also, can you guys do me a favor?”
“Sure.” One of the clan members waved their hands, directing Jaehwang into the right direction while Derek went a different way with the other clan members. Later, they reached the third floor and arrived in front of a hospital room. Jaehwang slightly knocked on the door before he went inside it.
There were four people inside the hospital room. Ally was sitting in one of the chairs and behind her was an injured person. It was Timothy and he was lying on the bed injured.
“Who…” She said as she heard the door being opened, she looked back to see a person standing at the door who was still wearing a hood over his face.
“It’s me. Timothy…”
“Huh?” Timothy replied, tilting his head at the strange voice that he just heard. Jaehwang took the hood off of his head and Timothy then immediately recognized his face.
“Ah, it’s you…” Timothy said with a shocked face. A lot of thoughts began to run through his head at that moment. They were all currently in a very difficult situation and he thought Jaehwang was dead.
“It’s you!” He said happily. Timothy then placed his hand on Jaehwang’s shoulder and his face then turned red.
“I’m sorry. This is all happening right now because of me…” Timothy said to Jaehwang regarding the incident that happened the previous day. He didn’t know that Jaehwang already knew everything.
“I know, I heard about it. Don’t worry, I’m not gonna hate you for it.” Jaehwang said and Timothy nodded his head. He took a deep breath of relief and asked,
“How did you get here? Isn’t it dangerous?”
Timothy asked in a low tone as he looked around. He didn’t want any of the nurses to come in and see that Jaehwang was there.
“At first we… I was strongly against the Bileons but now we have to work with them,” Jaehwang said with a shrug.
“Really? Wow”, Timothy replied. Ally, who was sitting next to him then stood up and greeted Jaehwang.
“Sorry. You can’t see him right now-”
“It’s okay, I understand. I was just on my way out.” Jaehwang then followed, “Is he doing okay?”
“The bus exploded and he got badly injured. Although the nurse said that he will be okay in time…”
She couldn’t say any more as tears started to form in her eyes. Jaehwang began to feel terrible once he saw how hard things were for them. Maybe if he could have done it better, this wouldn’t have happened. Jaehwang was an orphan and even if he had Mr. Song, he felt alone after losing his parents in a car accident.
Although he was healed, that didn’t really make him feel any better. He no longer wanted to hide behind that sad little child anymore.
“I’m sorry,” Jaehwang said.
“No no, this is all because of my stupid son,” she said and Timothy’s face turned red in shame once again. Just then, they heard a knock on the door and Derek walked into the room.
“Jaehwang, everyone’s ready.”
“Already?”
“Yes. First, we’ll finish up everything we have to do here then we’ll move to a bigger hospital with a better service. Also, we’ve already talked about splitting the hospital fees amongst everyone.”
“Good work.” Timothy listened as Derek and Jaehwang talked.
“What’s going on?”He asked.
“It’s the reason we came.”
“Really…”
“We didn’t want to just leave you here. We had to do something.”
“It’s okay, you don’t have to do this…” Timothy said.
“Don’t worry, we can do this,” Jaehwang assured him. The biggest problem would be taking the entire family home without the help of a military bus. The country did owe them some compensation but it would be difficult to deal with that at the moment.
It would take at least a month of waiting and they definitely did not have the time to wait although things would be a lot easier if they had it. They didn’t have any money at all because all of it was on the bus.
They were in a difficult situation.
“You and your son will be moved to the same hospital so you two will be able to stick together.”
“Where are we going?”
“First we’re going to get what was taken from us,” Jaehwang said with a smile and after a little bit of thinking, Timothy nodded his head and said to Ally,
“Mom, Can I leave for a moment?”
Ally then nodded her head. She trusted Jaehwang. Timothy followed Jaehwang outside of the hospital room and down the hallway. He was surprised to see the other clan members standing there. Jaehwang and Timothy then continued to walk with the other clan members following right behind them.
“Who are you?”
“I’m a hunter.”
#2
They arrived at their destination in Virginia and went through a dimension gate.
The first gate was close by but it was very crowded. Although the one that they went to was still crowded, it had fewer people there compared to the other gate. A lot of dead monsters were scattered around the area.
More and more hunters then began to gather around the area.
“Wow, there’s a lot here,” one of the hunters said as he looked at his phone.
“Yeah. With all of the other hunters here as well, this should be easy.”
“That’s right. Should we go somewhere else?”
“No, we should stay. There’s still a lot we can do here. It’s what the boss ordered.”
“Of course.”
The assistant then left and checked his secret bank account on his phone.
[20,000.00$]
“Great, everything’s going well.”
He had been saving up as much as possible from his raids and his other jobs.
Since he was in his early twenties until now in his mid-forties, he only had a third level hunter license. With such a low rank, it wasn’t easy for him to make much to save.

“Sir!” His assistant shouted as he ran into the room.
“What is it!”
“Well… T-there’s..”
“Breath, talk to me slowly!” The boss then stood up from his seat as something like this was unusual for his assistant.
“They’re here.”
“What?”
“You have to go!”
“What are you talking about?!” As the boss didn’t realize what he was saying, his assistant quickly rushed to get his things and quickly went out of the door.
“What is he talking about?!”
“You know that kid’s old parents, right?”
“Yes, I know them.”
“They seem different than usual. It’s like they have some kind of power on their side. It has to be someone new.” The boss then took a moment to think about what his assistant said and then, he seemed to have realized something.
“We have to go!”
Invincible, The end.
