"What?" Henry got nervous as he looked around and saw multiple S Rank hunters, but the biggest source of his fear was the SS Rank hunter.

Kayden was the only S+ Rank Hunter from the World Association, and Henry and Clara were still S- Rank Hunters. Apart from them, their whole team was filled with A+ Rank Hunters.

Coming here, they had thought that this team would have been enough to safely catch two A Rank criminals, but never in their wildest dreams had they imagined the outcome they were facing right now.

"Hassan Trevino," Kayden muttered as he recognized the old SS Rank Hunter, who was standing proudly in the air, looking down at him.

Hassan Trevino, an SS Rank Hunter, was known as the right-hand man of Nathaniel Von Greville, the sword god himself.

But inside the Greville family, he was famous as the leader of the Greyhound group.

Apart from Emmy, who was not part of the Greyhounds, all other hunters, including Garreth, were trained under Hassan's guidance.

"I am too old now to remember any rules, but surely you can tell me," Hassan came down, as did the other S Rank hunters.

Although they were calm right now, they just needed one order from Hassan to kill every World Association Hunter present. Even Kayden was not comfortable with fighting two S Rank hunters at the same time.

And in the presence of an SS Rank Hunter like Hassan, he was not foolish enough to do so.

Henry and Clara gritted their teeth as they felt humiliated by the Greville family since they were not from Somaria. They had come here from Desmar, and none of the Elite families that were present there behaved as oppressively as the Greville did.

"Sir Hassan, I respect you, but all we need are the two criminals that we came for," Kayden spoke out, making his team's expression brightened.

In all honesty, Kayden wanted to leave right now, but doing so would not only damage his reputation, but he would not be able to live with the shame of being called a coward by his own team.

He already knew that they would go back empty-handed, so it was a useless attempt to show that he was slightly unwilling to go back right now.

"But attacking our precious heir during his hotel stay, that's going a bit too far, right?" Hassan said with a gentle smile on his face.

He looked much older than Arthur, as he was closer to Nathan's age, and in his words and manners, he was more patient than other young high-rank hunters like Zach and Corey.

He had seen a lot in his life, and one thing he had learned during his lifetime was that the one who lost his calm first was the first one to lose in battle. According to him, if you were not the strongest, you were unqualified to be arrogant in front of others.

There were only a few men he respected in this world, and Nathan Greville was one of them.

"What do you mean we did?" Henry shouted, but Kayden raised his hand a bit to make him stop.

"We didn't do it, Sir Hassan," Kayden said, but Hassan could see the nervousness in his eyes.

Hassan turned to look at Asher to see what he wanted to do. Even though Hassan was an SS Rank Hunter capable of killing Kayden on the spot, he represented the Greville family, and without confirmation from someone from the Greville family, he would not move.Hassan internally smiled as he saw no nervousness in Asher's eyes. It was surprising that only the youngest person present here was the most fearless one.

"What does Young Master want?" Hassan spoke while looking at Asher.

Asher's indifferent gaze looked at Hassan.

"Wrap this up; we will go back to Soran," Asher said.

"And the emergency call was a mistake from Garreth," Asher said, looking at Hassan.

Asher made sure that Hassan would wrap this matter up as fast as possible without wasting any more time.

"You heard our Young Master; now it's your choice," Hassan looked at Kayden with a calm smile.

'What choice, you bastard,' Kayden cursed Hassan in his mind.

They had no choice but to fall back, as Kayden couldn't take such matters into his own hands. If there was an SS Rank Hunter from the World Association present here, there was a chance that Hassan would have given him some face, but even then, it likely resulted in a similar manner.

Apart from some people in the World Association and other influential names, no one could stand equally before the Greville family.

"Okay," Kayden turned.

But he looked back at two people on the ground, Dane and Kai, and remembered their faces.

"Let's go back," Kayden said while gritting his teeth as his whole team backed away to go back to Vernes.

Seeing the World Association members go back, everyone relaxed as they looked back at Asher, waiting for his order.

"Take these two to Emmy," Asher said to Tom as he turned back.

"Ah, me?" Tom pointed at himself as every single gaze fell on him.

"Ah, yes. These two are with us, haha," Tom scratched the back of his head, acting all silly.

But his nervous laugh wasn't helping with the acting. Even Dane looked up from the corner of his eyes and looked disappointed in Tom's poor acting skills.

But Kai was still cautious as to why the heir of the Greville family wanted them alive.

'Did he make a deal with Spyder?' Kai said to himself.But he removed the possibility because they would not have gone to Greville for it even if their organization wanted them dead.

There was a reason that Dane and Kai were running around in Somaria, and only the World Association team was on their tail. But organizations like Spyder and other criminal organizations needed approval from the Elite families from that continent.

But it was only in Somaria that, apart from organizations that ran the black market and a few smaller ones, no big organization dared to set their base in Somaria. It was a known fact that all three Elite families of Somaria were full of a bunch of crazy people.

"You help them; take these guys to Emmy," Asher told Garreth.

"Young Master, you need to follow us," Hassan said with a smile.

Asher looked at him with no emotions on his face. Whether the emergency call was fake or not, it was called, and it was Hassan's duty to take Asher back home.

It was something that Asher would not be able to avoid either way, and it was better to go back and explain the stuff himself.

Because if he didn't, that would result in Arthur asking Emmy about all of his activities. And it was something that Asher wanted to avoid for now. But now that he got the perfect people for the jobs, he could finally move and carry out his plans.

"Sure," Asher replied as all the S Rank Hunters stepped into the room.

Tom got out of his bed, and when he stepped on the floor, the tiles cracked as the damage inside the room was already significant, and all it needed was a little push to shatter completely.

*Crack*

"Shit," Tom immediately removed his feet, and below his feet was a brick that looked like it was made up of gold.

"Hoh," Hassan smiled as he could guess what that was.

"I guess we can pay for the damage done," Hassan laughed lightly.

Dane and Kai cursed their luck as they observed the scene before them. If only their timing had been different, all this money could have been theirs.

At the World Academy,

"So you wanted to talk about something?" Elena asked Eva, who had asked her to come down to the lobby.

"I heard that Asher Greville was gathering GP," Eva said as she looked at Elena.

Elena thought for a while before she finally spoke up.

"Does he want to enter the Auction?" Elena asked with a smile on her face.

"I think so, too," Eva replied with a nod.

"Whatever, he will not be able to buy anything good anyway," Elena said as she knew that all the better artifacts were in the hands of the Senior year students who had a large amount of GP with them.

"I am not sure, but I got the news that Leonard will give Asher Greville a loan for GP," Eva said, making Elena frown slightly.

"But why would he?" Elena asked.

"I am not sure, but he wants to keep Asher Greville in his faction," Eva replied, sharing what she had heard from her sources or, more clearly, her older brother's sources.

They were correct that Leonard wanted to loan a huge amount of GP to Asher, but it was not in good faith.
