Maido bit his thumb again, feeling anxious about his future. Before becoming a hunter, he was just an ordinary man. He spent his time working from morning to night.
The reason he worked so hard was for the sake of his two brothers. They were very young and had to lose their parents. While still in high school, Maido had to accept the fact that he was the breadwinner.
Since the death of his parents, Maido had been trying to find money to support his life and his brothers. Then his fate changed drastically after experiencing an awakening. Now he just needed to use his power to make money.
However, Maido's comfortable life had been disturbed today. He could not let this problem happen any longer. If the gate explosion incident in Australia happened again, then he would lose everything he had achieved and his brothers might become targets of the bad people.
"Master, the delegations from the International Redemption Organization have arrived."
Maido lost his mind when he heard those words. His servant had just given him the news he did not want to hear right now. However, he had no right to ignore the government people.
"I have to get ready first. Please welcome the guests and tell them that I will be here soon," Maido spoke, getting up from his bed to turn on the room light.
Then the man walked over to the mirror over there and looked at his reflection. He took a deep breath when he realized he looked terrible. There was a lump on his forehead because he was banging his head against the wall in depression.
Maido did not want to meet his guests with such an appearance. However, he could only change his clothes since he could not cover the bump on his forehead. He immediately went to meet his guests after getting clothed.
"Sir Geovanni, how are you?" Maido immediately asked as soon as he arrived in the living room. He did not dare to sit down until he got permission.
An old man sat there sipping a cup of green tea, while several men in black were standing behind him. He was Geovanni Riolo, a representative from Italy who contributed to the world government. Since the gates explosion, the world government had created the International Redemption Organization, aka IRO.
The Awakeners and Hunters Council, the International Guild Council, and the Dungeons and Gates Security Council were the main bodies at the IRO. Italy was one of the key members of the Dungeons and Gates Security Council.
However, today Geovanni received news that Maido's prediction was wrong and caused chaos in Broken Hill, Australia. He was so angry at remembering the topic that his hand gripped the tea cup tightly and shattered it.
"Sir! Are you all right?" Maido, who saw the incident, rushed to Geovanni. Unfortunately, the old man gave him a signal not to move anymore.
Geovanni immediately cleaned up the mess he made. As he wiped his wet hands with a handkerchief, he said, "You must know what I'm here for. Don't make worthless conversation by asking how I'm doing."
Those words sent a chill to Maido. Even though Geovanni was only talking, he could feel the murderous aura from the old man. It was obvious that Geovanni would finish him if the old man discovered that his powers were imperfect.
Maido had no good choice but to lower his pride. Without hesitation, he dropped to the floor and kowtowed to Geovanni. "Please forgive me, Sir!" he cried hopefully.
