Song Taewon was unfamiliar with the Foreign Hunter Association's laws. As he passed through airport security, his full attention was on the file he was reading intently. His hand carried three more thick files which he still had to go through.

As the security saw the mountain-tall S-class approaching, he gulped a little. Song Taewon remained unfazed and let the security do his checking. The A-class guard was embarrassed as everyone stared, and he competently checked the S-class hunter, saying, "Done, sir. You may proceed."

Song Taewon walked through the gates to his plane guided by a worker. After taking his seat, he quickly opened the documents, which contained the basics of foreign hunter law and provisions, and read as much as he could.

Nobody bothered the sole S class on the flight. Some passengers raised their phones and recorded him, but he paid no attention to them.

Such a sight was only possible in Korea; an S-class hunter travelling on the same plane was a normal sight to the public. Soon, the recordings went viral all over the country until the plane landed.

Director Song wore formal attire and didn't even have time to check his appearance. He sighed. Despite reading the material, he knew that the information he learned didn't even scratch the surface. It was different from the Korean Hunter Law. It couldn't be helped now.

He got off the flight, and a blond and tall S-class hunter stood looking bored. Taewon recognized the Eden Guild Leader, Mr Taylor, and approached him. Of course, an S-class was called to receive an S-class from another country. It was such an unfamiliar situation for Mr. Taylor as well as the citizens of the country.

Similar to Korea, the phones were raised for recording. It was hard to see high-level hunters in normal environments, and that too waiting for someone in the airport. But still, everyone kept their distance. It was still intimidating to approach them.

Two A-class hunters accompanied, one holding a board that read 'Director Song of Hunter Management Office.' They seemed like guild members, and it was clear that they weren't used to the current situation.

"Director Song?" Eden Guild Leader called, giving a polite smile.

"Thank you for cooperating, Eden Guild Leader."

The S-Class introduced his guild member, and all of them proceeded toward awaiting posh cars. There was silence in the car; there was no need to exchange warm greetings, and the introduction was enough. Song Taewon was calm when he was first told that he needed to go overseas to avoid an international conflict he was confused.

Then he understood the reason, as well as the person behind the huge mess. It didn't surprise him much.

The car stopped in front of a building similar to a skyscraper. They took the elevator and reached the 19th floor. He was led to a conference room where he recognized the familiar face of the Sesung Guild lawyer team who appeared a little drained.

Still, they genuinely smiled at the Director Song. The Eden guild members left. The lawyer team visibly relaxed and turned to Taewon.

"We are grateful to Director Song for coming all the way here," Mr Park said. " The thing is in such cases government officials are obligated to come and avoid incidents getting out of control. We are trying to bury the hatch."

"What about compensation? " Song Taewon asked, looking at the pictures of the destroyed Cruz ship and a yacht boat. He was genuinely confused as to why a minor fight between S-class was not getting solved by simple compensation.

It was normal for high-level hunters to destroy each other's property in the brawl and then pay the fine. Even though hard feelings remained they were taken out in the next fight.
