Jason was waiting at the entrance of the gate when he saw Jin-Woo walking out covered in wounds from the intense battle.

But for some reason, his mood was very heavy, looking grave.

"Uh?... What's going on?" Jason asked carefully. "Did you perhaps..."

"Hyung-nim!!" Jin-Woo scared Jason as he jumped and hugged him, sulking.

"Why? Why, Hyung-nim?... It's not fair!... I want it! Why I failed to extract the shadow of that Ant bastard?!"

Jason's face twitched, seeing him acting spoiled.

He sighed and slapped him on the bed. "Stop, acting like a little brat! Tell me how many levels did you gain?"

"F-Four... Hyung-nim, please don't hit me so hard. You're too strong!" Jin-Woo complained.

Jason face-palmed and said, trying to divert his attention over the ant king.

"Hey Jin-Woo, now that you have crossed Level 100. Do you feel any particular change?"

Jin-Woo's ear perked up when he mentioned it. He knew his Hyung would never talk about it if not necessary.

"What do you mean?"

"I let you find it yourself," Jason said mysteriously.

Sure enough, he forgot about the previous matter and opened the system panel

to check everything.

'My stats have risen up considerably but it's not something to talk about. What else could it be?... Hmm, everything looks exactly the same as before. Is he fooling me or something?... No, it doesn't seem like. Wait a minute... this is...'

While he was busy with that, Jason sneaked into the gate to convert the Ant King into a Shadow Soldier.

Jin-Woo's eyes landed on something shining inside his inventory and he summoned it out. It was the black key that he got from the cursed random box.

He was unable to access its information before but now he could read the information.

[Item: Key to the Karutenon Temple] 1

Rarity: ??

Type: Key

'You have met the required condition.'

A key allows you entry into the Karutenon Temple. It can be used at the designated Gate.

The location of the designated Gate will be revealed after the predetermined time has been reached.

'….Karutenon Temple?'

Jin-Woo began tilting his head in confusion.

What was going on here? He was pretty certain that he had never heard of that name before.

So how come it sounded so familiar to him?

'No, hold on. I…. have heard of it before.'

He carefully combed through the maze of his memories until he finally recalled what he was searching for, and his brows shot up in response.

'The dual dungeon!!'

"Hyung-nim, this is..."

"Yep." Jason turned serious and said to him. "It's time."

......

Jason and Jin-Woo took the next few days a little easy and spent it at home. Jason paid a few visit to Jin-Woo's house.

Surprisingly, Cha Hae-In also paid a visit in that frame which let Sung Il-Hwan and others to learn about their relationship.

Park Kyung-Hye was very pleased to see her and teased Jin-Woo for not having a girlfriend. So, Jason opened his mouth and spilled the beans, telling her about Lee Joohee.

Immediately, his mother ordered her son to bring her home. She wanted to meet her daughter-in-law.

Even Sung Il-Hwan was excited to learn that news!

Jin-Woo couldn't refuse his mother and agreed.

Jason asked Mingyue Wushuang to make preparations as he was going to open a branch of the Guild in another area. And he was planning to let Jin-Woo manage it.

He also asked her to take the very motivated little guy, Yoo Jin-Ho, with her so he could learn the ropes.

Jin-Ho was very grateful for Jason for giving him such a chance.

Jin-Woo wanted to name the Guild, The Solo Play, but rather than praises, he received a good beating from Jason.

'How the hell could he even use that name for the guild that will become renowned in the world'

"Hyung-nim,"

Jason was browsing through the internet when Jin-Woo approached him with a cautious expression. In these few days, he got beaten a few times for suggesting some idiotic names.

In the end, Jason had to take things into his own hands and suggested 'Ahjin' as the guild name. Jin-Ho liked that name and agreed while as for Jin-Woo, Jason didn't even ask for his opinion.

"What happened?" Jason raised his head and turned to him.

Jin-Woo flinched and carefully said. "Actually I want to ask you something."

"Go ahead," Jason signaled him to go ahead.

"Hyung-nim, is it necessary to recruit more people for the guild? I mean aren't me and Jin-Ho are enough!" He said cautiously.

"Tell that to your mother. She had given me strict instructions to let your girlfriend join the guild. Anyway, what is the problem with having more members?"

"Hyung-nim, you know..." Jin-Woo sighed in defeat since he knew all answers were meaningless.

Oh yeah Jin-Ho, don't you have someone you wanted to recommend to us?!"

He ignored Jin-Woo and turned to Jin-Ho at his side who was busy dealing with some documents.

"Ah!" The little guy was surprised by the mention of his name and turned towards him. "N-N-No, Hyung-nim. I'm fine."

"Then what about your cousin Yoo Soohyun? She asked for my help so I'm planning to leave her name on this guild. Is it fine with you?"

"Y-Yes, Hyung-nim." He nodded his head.

Jason smiled and advised him. "And don't tire yourself from work too much and take rest from time to time, okay?"

Jinho always remained in the office for a long time and sorted out everything.

'He's really a hard-working kid.'

"Well, let's go," Jason said to Jin-Woo.

They walked out of the office and were just about to grab the handle of the van but a voice interrupted them.

"Are you Mister Sung Jin-Woo?"

Jason and Jin-Woo turned towards the source of that voice. But they were momentarily taken aback after confirming the face of that person.

'He's a foreigner?'

'Huh? What is he doing here...?'

Jason was a little surprised to see the young man here.

The foreigner was a young man with blue eyes and slick orange hair. He was wearing a blue business coat over a white dress shirt and a black tie.

The man pulled out a business card and presented it to Jin-Woo as he said.

"This is who I am."

Jin-Woo gazed at the card and read.

[Senior Agent Adam White, Hunter Bureau, the United States of America] 1

'Hunter Bureau? USA??'

Jason smiled and patted Jin-Woo's shoulder, speaking. "I'll leave you both alone to talk."

The man bowed slightly and turned to Jin-Woo with no idea that he was going to deal with him later.

Jin-Woo was also looking straight at him, prompting the American to introduce himself.

"It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Sung Jin-Woo Hunter-nim. Please call me Adam from now on."
