Problems Arise
The interview with Nathan and Joseph was made public, but sections were omitted due to heavy filtering by the Officials of the World Association.
The only portion that was shared revealed that Nathan and Joseph had declined any involvement in other continents unless their presence was needed.
Nathan had only committed to dealing with one SSS Rank Monster, and just like Joseph, he had fulfilled his duty concerning the issues in Fashia.
Unlike Associations, the SSS Rank Hunters of elite families didn't need to inconvenience themselves with matters concerning other continents.
This time, Nathan wouldn't have budged if he hadn't been promised an SSS Rank Mana Gem.
The problem wasn't merely that an unidentified SSS Rank Monster had unknown abilities.
Throughout the fight, both Nathan and Joseph kept a wary eye on each other due to mutual distrust.
This sentiment of distrust was shared by most of the SSS Rank Hunters.
