"Have you heard the news that a gate exploded in Germany?"
Elias Green lost his focus when he heard his friend's question, so he missed a flop shot with his golf club. He looked at the golf ball that had landed incorrectly and let out a shaky breath.
With an irritated face, he glared at Asher, the person who suddenly spoke to him while he was playing golf. "At least wait for me to finish my shot," he said, his voice sounding angry at this point.
"But this is important news." Asher looked even more irritated to see Elias obsessed with golf. "I got the news that a gate exploded in Germany. Isn't that strange?"
Elias's annoyance slowly disappeared after hearing the information. He was a member of the Joint Committee of the International Guilds Council. The Joint Committee was a joint member of several councils at the IRO.
Asher was a member of the Joint Committee, too. He was from The Dungeons and Gates Security Council. When he checked his cell phone, he got the information that a gate had exploded in Germany. He found out the news faster than anyone else. Even the media had not covered the news since the gate explosion had happened ten minutes ago.
"What happened to that Italian boy? Why did his predictions get wrong twice?" Elias frowned in confusion as he remembered about Maido. They had met a few times, and he knew Maido was not someone who dared tell the IRO wrong predictions.
"That's also what I'm thinking right now. The gate explosion incident happened first in Australia, then now it's happening again in Germany. Even though I was confused about this, I realized something."
Before Elias asked anything, Asher immediately continued his explanation, "After that first incident, The Dungeons and Gates Security Council stated Maido was in a poor condition. That's why he didn't have time to predict the explosion of a gate that appeared in Germany. Then, a gate exploded there today."
"I see what you trying to say," Elias nodded, then signaled for a caddy, the one who carried the player's bag, to take his golf club. "Let's talk about this while we go to Cyril's house. I'm sure he wants to talk about this too with us."
He had no desire to play golf again after hearing the shocking news. Therefore, he and Asher decided to go to Cyril's house, a member of the Joint Committee of the Awakeners and Hunters Council.
"I heard that there is an evil organization that could become a serious threat in the future. If the gate explosion was their doing, then we must arrest them immediately," Elias said after getting into the car.
Asher, who had been sitting beside him, raised eyebrows and started to drive the car. "Which evil organization are you referring to? IRO spying on all the evil organizations in the world."
"The name of the organization is Kiss of Death, led by Enrique, the one who released monsters at the IRO center a few months ago."
"I remember now. That organization always wreaks a bigger mess than any other evil organization. Too bad we have not caught them yet. I heard the IRO is still spying on them to find their weaknesses."
The Awakeners and Hunters Council could always finish the rebel awakeners quickly. But still, evil organizations like the Kiss of Death always appeared, so they had to keep sending spies.
Kiss of Death was a troublesome organization because its members had great power. The spies that were sent were always dead, except for one person. The IRO protected the identity of the spy and no one knew except the important people.
However, they stated that the spy had infiltrated the Kiss of Death ever since the organization was created and was still alive today. Thus, within a few days, the IRO would find out whether Kiss of Death was involved in the gates incident or not.
"I know little about those evil organizations because they're not my responsibility," Asher spoke again and snapped Elias out of his thoughts. "But if they are involved, then they have a grudge against Maido."
Actually, Elias also had the same opinion as Asher. But the problem was that he knew Maido was not someone who dared to cause trouble with powerful people.
"What exactly did Maido do? I believe the gate explosion incident was caused by humans. They must hate Maido. People don't like him because he made a wrong prediction and rejected the request to predict a gate explosion in Germany."
"I agree. Of all the countries that exist, they're targeting Germany instead. They should not have to show their hatred for Maido so openly. That's really reckless."
"Did something happen at the meeting?" Cyril muttered, knowing that the Kiss of Death was having a meeting today. It was strange because the spy was never late in giving information about the meeting.
He stopped looking at his cell phone when he heard a knock on the door. When he opened the door, Asher and Elias immediately smiled at him. He said nothing, but they still followed him as he walked into the living room and sat there.
Cyril did not want to have a relationship with these two people. Unfortunately, his father forced him to build good relations with Asher and Elias. It was because they had good family backgrounds and great power.
The three of them were people who had awakened with 'Elemental Power'. It was a power that over two awakeners could have.
Asher awakened with the power to control the water. Since officially becoming a hunter, he had raided over a hundred times, making him earned the title of B-rank hunter. He joined Phantom, the strongest guild in the world.
Elias got the lightning element when he had an awakening. He was in the same guild and team as Asher. They even had the same rank.
Then the last one among them was Cyril. He was a hunter with the element of fire and got an A-Rank after making many contributions to the safety of the world. He joined Phantom, but did not team up with Asher and Elias.
Even though other people also had Elemental Power, not everyone could become strong. It depended on how they developed their power. Cyril and his two friends should be grateful because they were born into a rich and influential family.
Because of their family's influence, they could receive good training and join the IRO as the youngest committee member. Rich people like them always found convenience at all times, even when the world was in chaos.
