Un-Solo Leveling

39. Discussion

On Sunday, some high-rank officers from The Central Hunter Bureau came to the hotel to meet Indra & Dewi. They got the best rooms in a 5 star hotel, so they can't refuse the meeting. Besides, Indra also wants to know what they want to talk about.

The ones who meet them are the Hunter Bureau's Director, Deputy Director, and their secretaries. The Director isn't an awakener, but the Deputy Director is an A-Rank while their secretaries are C-Ranks. Also, while the Director is a middle-aged man, the Deputy Director & the secretaries still look young.

"How's your stay, Young Master and Young Lady Smith?"

"It was great, I never slept in a 5 star hotel. The bed was so comfy."

"Same here. Thanks for all you've done for us."

"I am glad then. We should at least do something as small as this for our country's future top protectors."

"Right. Well, I don't like going around the bush. Let's just hear your true purpose of coming here."

"Haha, I will cut to the chase then. Young Master and Young Lady, do any of you interested in leading the Hunter Bureau?"

Indra & Dewi are quite surprised by this offer because they never thought the Director would ask them to replace him.

"You want one of us to replace you?"

"Yes, that's basically it. I am actually a Major General of the Army that was tasked by the President, the Minister of Defense and the General to lead the Hunter Bureau. But then we had a problem when S-Rank Hunters appeared."

"You can't control them."

"Control is too harsh. It's more of making us have at least the same or preferably a higher position than their Guilds. You might not know, but the 2 official S-Rank Hunters are really doing whatever they want. One of them even tried to make connections with you when you shouldn't be disturbed."

Indra looks at the Director with a rather surprised expression.

"I apologize for the inconvenience. The people from our side that were involved in this have been fired. We don't want this kind of thing to happen again."

"I like your decisiveness. But I don't see that as he does anything as he pleases."

"Well, he threatens those who wanted to refuse and forced them to sign the contracts. Their Guild members were also reported for bad behaviors like pressuring small Guilds to not bid for Gates so they could pay less and get more profit. But the Guild Master, the 2nd S-Rank, Mr. Doni uses his power to stop us from taking actions. It's difficult to punish them because they have the backing of many conglomerates & politicians."

"So you want to recruit an S-Rank to the Hunter Bureau to stop them?"

"Yes. If we have an S-Rank, then our position will be a lot higher. We think that they don't want to listen to us because they have more power than us. So they aren't afraid of us and even underestimate us. But it will be different if the one ordering them is also an S-Rank hunter."

That actually makes sense and it will really be bad if the Hunter Bureau can't even discipline a bad Guild. They will lose people's trust and the hunters will do whatever they want without anyone overseeing them.

"Sorry, but we don't want to do it. That position will only give us headaches as it will be full of political stuff. However, we can help you."

"You will help us, how?"

"We will try our abilities after testing our magic power again, right? I want you to invite him to supervise that. Just tell him you want him to oversee it in case we can't control our power."
