The examiner was greatly taken by surprise.

"This…. Is this your summoned creature? You can control a summon?"

The examiner's voice was trembling noticeably.

"….Well, something like that."

"I-in that case, h-how many summoned creatures can you control?"

'Well, it will be useless to lie, so….'

Indeed, the number of eyewitnesses who saw his Shadow Soldiers yesterday was nearly twenty.

"It's around 100 or so…."

The examiner's eyes went the extra round at the number 100.

"An h-hundred?!"

"Yes."

On the other hand, Jin-Woo remained nonplussed.

At the same time…

As he stared at the Shadow Soldier, Go Gunhee's eyes were glittering brightly.

'A hundred of those….'

Jin-Woo could feel Go Gun-Hee's passionate gaze burning upon his skin.

"In that case…. Sung Jin-Woo Hunter-nim, you're a mage type."

The examiner studiously jotted down something on the recording document and raised his head up, while looking rather satisfied.

Jason was observing the process with his observation haki and grinned, satisfied with their expressions.

Jason and Jin-Woo escaped from the back door when they learned that the reporters were waiting to see Jin-Woo and click his pictures.

Jason and Jin-Woo returned home when out of nowhere, Jin-Woo's phone vibrated. Taking it out, he cast a glance at the called ID before picking it up.

"Hello,"

- "Hyunnng-nim…."

Jason could hear him sniffling. 'Eh? Is he crying...?'

"….."

Jin-Woo was so dumbstruck that he stood there in a total daze, prompting Yoo Jin-Ho to tearfully speak up.

- "Hyung-nim. I got kicked out of the house. Dad kicked me out."

"…"

Jason controlled his laughter as he knew something like that would happen.

"…..Wait, didn't you live alone already?"

- "Well, that…."

Sniff.

- "The villa I was living in was under my father's name, and he took it away. He even blocked all my bank accounts."

Pfft!

"Hahaha..." Jin-Woo and Jason stared at each other before laughing out loud.

It caused the little guy to turn even sadder.

Jason signaled Jin-Woo to pass his phone as he said. "Jin-Ho, bring your stuff to the Paradise Guild, I'll ask Xiao Yu to arrange a place for you, okay?"

- "Y-Yes, Hyung-nim..." Jin-Ho became emotional and said tearfully. 

"Go and settle down, okay? We'll talk later after you calm down a little." Jason said and cut off the call, calling Xiao Yu to inform her of the task.

...

"Relax your stiff body! Let's focus on finishing our goal and quickly come back..."

Jin-Woo took a deep breath and nodded his head, "You're right, Hyung. Let's do it."

They reached the entrance of the villa area and found Jin-Ho waiting for them there, just as promised.

"Hyungs-nim!"

Jin-Ho greeted them with a bright face.

"Was it okay sleeping in that place?"

"Yes, it was fine, hyung-nim."

"Okay, well, let's go."

"Yes, hyung-nim."

The three of them entered the van. And the van containing three people drove towards the Daesung Tower.

Screech...

By the time their van came to a stop in front of the Daesung Tower, though, he managed to work up some courage.

"By the way, Hyung-nim. What about this Daesung Towe…."

"We're off."

"We'll be back soon."

"Eh?"

Yu Jin-Ho hurriedly turned his head back. However, the door was already wide open, and they were nowhere to be seen.

Jin-Ho scratched the side of his head.

On the other hand, Jason and Jin-Woo entered the Demon's Castle.

Just as they set foot inside, Jin-Woo received his new quest.

Jin-Woo opened the message window.

Tti-ring.

[Normal Quest: Collect the Souls of Demons! (2)]

The sovereign of the demons, 'Baran', can be found residing on the top floor of the Demon's Castle. Defeat Baran and collect his soul.

If you succeed in sealing the soul of the Demon King, you will be rewarded handsomely.

"Are you ready for it?"

"I can't wait anymore," Jin-Woo said excitedly like a child who had come to the park to play.

"But Hyung-nim, are you sure you don't need any equipment?"

"I'm fine." Jason smiled. "Once you reach my level. You also don't need such things."

The idea of dividing the shadows into six units to handing the 'Orb of Avarice' to Tusk caused them to climb the tower at a fast pace.

And in only a span of four days, they climbed to the 80th floor.

'If my memory is correct, we'll meet that certain character on this floor.'

Jason thought about the plot and nodded with satisfaction.

"Alright, I'm going sightseeing. When you're ready to go meet me at the teleportation portal."

"Uh, okay Hyung-nim." Jin-Woo didn't stop his brother. He knew Jason could take care of himself.

Jason activated the stealth to avoid demons and walked around.

In just a few hours, he reached his destination.

'It's really interesting to see a Castle inside a Castle.'

Jason observed the huge building and infiltrated it.

'Let's see if there is something to rob!'

Jason spent his few days observing the behavior of the demons. If he ignored their destructive and arrogant nature, then they were mostly like humans.

'At least this Radir Clan looks peaceful.'

Suddenly, he felt the presence of someone he was waiting for.

'The brat really enjoys his time.'

He quickly reached the main hall and saw Jin-Woo holding Esil by her shoulder and her father glaring at Jin-Woo.

'Hah? Why is he so slow on the uptake?! Does he really not understand anything or

is there a problem with his head?!'

On the other hand, Esil's explanation and Jin-Woo saying the exact same thing finally managed to calm down the boss's agitation. He settled back down on his throne to think.

'The floor entry permit, and a guide? Are they truly everything he wants from us?'

The boss asked again with a nervous expression.

"Truly… is that all you want?"

Jin-Woo nodded his head.

"You will not bring harm upon my daughter?"

Suddenly, Jin-Woo felt Esil's glance.

'A monster worrying about his daughter is it…..'

Jin-Woo was inwardly surprised but didn't forget to nod his head regardless.

The boss pondered for a short while, before a smile formed on his face.

"We'll do that, then."
