A lonely castle stood on a cliff somewhere near the Mediterranean Sea. It stood there for a hundred years without belonging to anybody before a man of wealth purchased it as his vacation home a year ago.
Its appearance preserved the style of the Middle Ages.
But in contrast to the fancy exterior, it was completely empty inside.
In a room without a single piece of furniture, a conference was currently taking place.
"...There was some resistance, but we achieved our goal."
The secretary in a neat suit bowed.
"That's good."
A low, solid voice filled the room in return.
"You did well."
"...Thank you, Chairman."
In the deepest part of the old castle was a single throne.
There sat an elderly man.
His name was Joochul, also known as Changdo, the owner of Daehyun which wielded great influence in all of South Korea, and the head of the Chae family, considered to be one of most prestigious families.
Chae Joochul sat, filling the empty room with only pressure and his presence.
"However, we are still unable to identify them. They are too human-like to be considered Djinns, but much too violent to be considered humans."
Today, the secretary's report was unusually long.
Something that was neither Djinn, monster, nor human.
Something stronger than Djinns possessing intelligence equal to humans.
Chae Joochul listened with his eyes closed and grabbed the cane beside his throne.
"...Strange beings."
Koong.
Chae Joochul's cane touched the floor.
Immediately, a shockwave pulsed out. The magic power in the atmosphere trembled, shaking the entire castle.
"The Association exists to deal with such things. Just leave it to them."
"Understood."
The secretary nodded with respect.
"There is also another matter that requires Chairman's attention."
This time, a strange hologram appeared.
Seeing this, Chae Joochul's face showed a faint change. Light flickered from his sharp, frowning eyes.
[Black Lotus]
It was a symbol Chae Joochul already knew.
It symbolized that the children who scattered long ago had resumed their activities. At the same time, it symbolized the roar of return of a pet he had once abandoned.
However, Chae Joochul didn't feel anything. His heartbeat was just as slow as always, and his emotionless skin was as cold as ice.
"We're currently in the process of contacting guilds and information agencies to gain information about him."
"...."
Chae Joochul put his hand out without a word, and the secretary put a stack of documents on his hand.
"The first page is our top choice."
[Truth Agency]
Chae Joochul had heard of the name of the information agency on the first page.
