Chapter 115 S.Korea's First Catastrophe Rank Hunter
"Mr. President, word just came in!" The President\'s chief of staff walked in with a tensed shoulder.
"What is it? Have they finally found him?" The president asked, keeping his eyes on the newspaper he was reading in the enormous living room that was no different from an empire\'s extravagant palace.
"Yes, your excellency."
"Then have them bring him here if they want their guild president."
"Your Excellency sir... his license came in." The Chief of staff said, his voice low and shaky.
The president finally dropped his papers, "What is it?"
"That man is a catastrophe rank hunter. He is our country\'s first catastrophe rank hunter" The chief of staff\'s voice shook as he reported to the president.
Even though they were all against Raith at first, it was a different matter now that he was confirmed to be South Korea\'s first catastrophe rank.
"What?! Impossible!" The president was immediately shown a tablet that contained Raith\'s information, down to citizenship proof and birth date.
Even though Raith clearly had nothing to do with Korea before a few months ago.
Someone definitely messed with his information, but it was a good thing, seeing that there was no way anything could be held against him. Even if they had a complaint, they\'d be foolish to hold him for it– this is a catastrophe rank hunter and South Korea was about to enter the top five strongest countries.
"Ah..." The president leaned back in his chair as he saw it. He was rendered speechless.
\'A catastrophe rank hunter\' The president frowned at the last moment and relaxed his expression, \'...I will put on with this nonsense for now... but I will do something about these hunters and their dishonor to my office\' He clenched his fist.
"Your Excellency, should we release Mok Jae-Hwa."
"Release him, the catastrophe rank hunter might break into the blue house... one can never tell with this hunter."
The chief of staff threw a worried look at the president before leaving.

The next day, the citizens were immediately greeted in their houses with the breaking news of South Korea\'s first catastrophe rank hunter. They yelled in happiness, people jubilated in their homes.
"Yes! We have finally done it!!"
"Our country won\'t be considered insignificant anymore."
"Fuck this is so good!"
The citizens were filled with immense joy and it felt like everyone had forgotten the damage he did to the city.
"Ah, no wonder, thanks to him Turner was able to back off from our city."
"Awww men... this is so good!!"
Even old women and young boys alike were all happy and Raith\'s face was all over the TV billboards displayed on the streets, even on international news.
Lee Se-Chul clenched his fist on the wheel as he drove home that morning and was listening to the news. He had been briefed about it this morning before leaving the blue house since he was one of the guild presidents that were to hold down hunter Mok Jae-Hwa. He particularly had a grudge.
"Shit! This is so wrong! I discovered him first, this guy should have been mine! How the hell did that sly Jae-Hwa get his hands on him."
He clenched his teeth and put more force on the accelerator clutch, driving faster than he should.
....
"You really don\'t have to drive me home you know that right...?"
Beside Mok Jae-Hwa was seated a blue-haired lady, her unique appearance set her apart from several other females, it was almost as if she was a character straight out of a fantasy world.
Even as she sat and focused her gaze on the road, the shapes of her womanly features were carved out nicely and it was impressive considering that she had a lithe body.
Her most striking feature was her eyes, bright blue color that seemed almost surreal against her fair skin as if they were a result of some magical spell. They were large and expressive, with a glint of mischief that hinted at the fiery spirit within.
"Ha ha... you say that but you have a catastrophe ranked hunter in your guild. I am just trying to build a friendly relationship with you... well, we might have actually been friends if not for your scary ass girlfriend."
"Shin-Hye is a very beautiful woman at heart... and on the face too, she just happens to have a very very nasty personality and is a jealous kind."
"Well, I would surely have busted her ass if it wasn\'t for you."
"Ha ha ha..." Mok Jae-Hwa chuckled, "...I would never have let you and besides, it would have been very difficult for you."
"There you go again... vouching for her strength. You really love her huh."
"Nara-ssi please can we change the conversation? It is weird having this sought of conversation with you."
"Well then... since you want to change the conversation. I\'d like to ask you, what is your plan moving forward."
"What do you mean?" Mok Jae-Hwa looked at her with inquisitive eyes. What the hell was she talking about?!
"You have a catastrophe rank hunter, your guild is now the strongest guild in South Korea and even the second strongest cannot compare to your guild who now has two special ranks. Not just in South Korea, but in the entire world, I\'m sure you will enter the top five too. Hunters, powerful hunters will begin to reach out to you and you will also start taking on international gate raids for massive amounts of money. What is your plan then?"
Mok Jae-Hwa closed his eyes and chuckled, "Why should I plan... firstly, I am not the one that became a catastrophe rank. Hunter Raith is free to do whatever he likes. But you are right, international hunters will start having their eyes on us, maybe it\'s time to start making the guys stay more at home and stop them from excessive traveling."
"Hmmm...whatever..." She shrugged even though she was the one that asked the question. The car sped off the next moment as the air was dominated by silence.
