Step* Step* Step*
The sound of footsteps was heard as a man enters in the dimly lit hallway.
The man was wearing a long black cloak which was covering his entire body. The walls in the hallway were adorned with some strange paintings mostly showing destroyed cities littered with human corpses.
Four people were following behind the man without saying anything or making a sound.
Among the four people, one was female and the rest were male.
These four people were Jameson, Mason, Ryan, and Audrey. The Four A rank hunters who attacked on the Naphliam city during the monster tide.
The person walking in front of them was Kazil, the man who was with hell ape before the start of the monster tide.
After one minute of walking, they reached the end of the hallway and arrived before a room.
The door of the room was closed and two B rank hunters were standing guard outside of it.
Seeing Kazil and others the two guards immediately opened the door and stepped aside.
Kazil was an S rank hunter, even though he wasn't doing anything, just standing near him made the body of two B rank hunters tense.
Just as the door opened, Kazil and others heard the sound of some people talking.
Before entering the room, Kazil lifted his hand and removed the hood which was covering his face.
When Kazil removed his hood the guards were able to see his face.
Kazil looks to be in his mid-twenties, he had short red hair, and green eyes which were filled with coldness. There was a strange crimson-coloured mark at the centre of his forehead. The mark was looking like the face of a human with two horns on its head.
When Kazil entered the room, he saw a long table with three people sitting on its three sides. Behind each one of them stood four people like their faithful servants. Among the three people who were sitting two were men while one was a female.
When Kazil entered the room, all three people who were sitting looked at him.
Ignoring the gazes of three people Kazil walked forward with the same expression on his face and took the seat at the other end of the table.
Mason and the other three followed after Kaizl and stood behind him silently.
"So you failed?" one of the men who was sitting said after Kazil took his seat.
Kazil looked at the man who just spoke. The man was looking around forty years old, had messy yellow hair, blue eyes, a muscular body, and was wearing a loose Hawaiian shirt and short pants. Even though he was sitting, just by looking at him anyone could tell that he was more than 200CM tall.
"Our goal was to plant a seed of fear in the heart of people, and I don't think after what happened in the Naphliam city you can say I failed, Xavier" Kazil said In an indifferent voice looking at the man named Xavier who was also an S rank hunter like him.
"Yeah, yeah if you say so," Xavier said in a mocking tone and shrugged his shoulders.
Kazil ignored Xavier and looked at the other two people sitting on chairs.
"If you allowed me to help you we could have destroyed the entire city you know" the woman sitting on the chair spoke while leaning back. Just like Kazil, the woman was in her mid-twenties, had long silver hair, fair skin, and green eyes. She was looking at Kaizl with slight dissatisfaction because he didn't allow her to participate in the monster tide event.
"If you have a problem with this, you should complain to Nate, not to me, Sera." Kazil said with the same expression on his face, "He was the one who planned everything and told me not to bring any one of you with me. If not for him, I could have helped that hell ape when it was killed by Amanda."
Hearing Kazil, Sera just snorted and did not say anything else.
"Speaking of Nate where is that guy?" asked Kazil and looked at the last person who was sitting with them because he was the one who called them here saying he wanted to discuss something important with them.
When the man heard Kazil's question he shook his head with a helpless expression on his face, "I called him earlier but he did not pick up my call and just sent a message saying he is busy with something so he will call me later."
The man who just spoke was looking around fifty years old, he had dark brown hair and light blue eyes. His name was Elijah, and similar to Kazil, he also had a crimson-coloured mark at the centre of his forehead.
Hearing Elijah, Kazil sighed and did not ask anything else.
"That secretive bastard always acts like this, I think we should do something about him," Xavier said in a slightly irritated tone after hearing Elijah.
"Why don't you challenge him for the position of the leader? After all, he always says that if you are dissatisfied with him you can challenge him anytime you wanted" Sera said to Xavier with a smile on her face.
Hearing Sera, the memories of what happened when they challenged Nate last time appeared in Xavier's head.
Just remembering how Nate single-handedly beat down all four of them to claim the position of the leader made him shudder.
''You must be joking asking me to challenge that freak. Last time we were not even able to scratch him even though it was one versus four" Xavier said while glaring at Sera.
"If you don't have the guts to challenge him then just shut your mouth and don't say you want to do something about his behaviour," Sera said while showing him a mocking smile.
"You_" Black lines appeared on Xavier's forehead and he was on the verge of exploding after seeing Sera's mocking smile.
"Stop it guys," Elijah said while rubbing his temples, "I called all of you here to discuss something about 'Inferno Dungeon' not to fight against each other."
Hearing the words Inferno Dungeon the expressions of everyone including Kazil changed and they looked at Elijah with a serious face.
