"Young mas‐

"Ha, ha, ha, these flight attendants. They can just go ahead and call anyone young man." Min-ho retorted with a shy laugh after abruptly blocking one of the flight attendant's mouth.

It was a first-class flight, Raith was not expecting a first-class fight but oh well, there's no big deal.

But something was off between these two. Raith threw a last suspicious glance at Mok Jun-Seo and Min-Ho before climbing unto the plane.

"Ooou..."

Raith could almost feel the air of luxury gripping him by the neck, with the level of the extravaganza that filled the plane's interior, it was understandable that an unknowing person such as him would exclaim.

Even if one knew nothing about luxury, this couldn't just escape one's common sense not with its meticulously crafted design and lavish materials.

The walls were adorned with rich wood paneling, accented by soft, ambient lighting that cast a warm glow throughout the space.

The Plush, buttery leather seats were almost calling Raith, 'Hey bro, come sit on me. Yes! sink inside me', offering ample legroom and exquisite detailing.

Crystal clear windows that provide panoramic views of the sky outside, or should we talk about the carpets that muffled footsteps, the overhead compartments which were seamlessly integrated into the cabin's design, to provide discreet storage for personal belonging.

Contemporary entertainment systems were there to provide a variety of alternatives, from streaming music to high-definition movies, all to provide a pleasant travel experience.

From the plushest cashmere blankets to the meticulously chosen art that hangs on the walls, every last detail in this plane had been taken into account.

High-end fixtures, gorgeous finishes, and opulent products maintain the theme of luxury even in the bathroom.

"Wow..." Raith sank into the chair as if listening to its beckoning.

"I'm sure this plane must have been expensive." Raith nodded looking around.

He mistakenly hit the arm of the chair and from the arm came out an automated table that unfolded to the side of the chair where he could easily place a glass of wine.

"Wooohhh..." Raith blushed.

"I'm so glad you like it hyungnim. I can gif–

Mok Jun-Seo's glare kept him from finishing his statement.

"I know this plane belongs to your family Min-Ho."

"Huh?" Min-Ho was first startled but then he considered the possibility that Raith might be trying to play the investigative card on him.

"Ha ha..." he laughs a crack, "what do you mean hyungmim, my family can't even afford a plane like this... ha ha ha, hyungnim likes to joke too much,"

Even the way he denied was giving him away, he was a very bad actor, he probably shouldn't choose that career path at all.

"Then why does it have Minsung Groups on it."

"Huh?" Min-ho's eyes widened. He had never mentioned his father's group to Raith. If fact, he was damn sure that Raith didn't know the name of the hospital he was working in.

He had even assured Mok Jun-Seo that it was okay to take the private plane because Raith can never know that it belongs to his father and that way Mok Jun-Seo won't have to spend such a large amount on transport. He didn't want to waste the money and save it for the welfare of the people and maybe keep a little some for himself while at it.

Mok Jun-Seo was fuming from where he sat.

"Hunter Raven, you see it is not really..."

"It's fine... I don't care, I know you have your reasons but you can always ask me for more gold."

"Oh, really? If you insist then Hunter Raven, can we probably have li‐

"No" Raith interrupted him.

"But you said I can ask."

"I don't know something about you asking immediately after I said you can ask is annoying."

He leaned back into the chair, "I'm going to take a short nap." He said to them and closed his eyes as the plane took off.

–

"What the hell?"

Even Li Mingwu was met with a stern face and a lot of questions racing through his mind.

"Alex"

"Yes, master."

"Was this the monster you met when you came here?"

"No master, something is incredibly wrong. The gate seems different. Although I can tell that there are remnants of the monsters that were here before, but right now... it's as if another monster had taken over."

"Then you are not sure of the existence of the phoenix?"

'Bastard? Even in this situation, all he cares about is the Phoenix.'

Contrary to Alec's emotions, he wore a humble face, bowing with every sentence he uttered.

"It has to be here, even if the new monsters have killed it then that means it will be easier to secure the item."

Li Mingwu put his hands on his beard and began to stroke.

"So, fighting this thing is inevitable since it might know something..."

Alec Whitman did not utter a response and just stayed silent, he was being ultra-careful right now.

"Thank your surviving hunter and get out of here, check this entire gate for the item. I don't want to finish dealing with this pain in the ass and still have to start looking for some dead Phoenix."

"Yes, master." Alec Whitman bowed as he received Li Mingwu's words with gladness of heart.

The next place his eyes shot to was the now-monk, that was standing on the edge of a caved floor with a smile. The part he was standing on was the only part of the floor that stood right.historical

His hands were back together, both pointing upward like he was praying.

The way his eyes upended and moved over to Alec as he attempted to jump...

'What?!'

Alec ended up jumping back instead of the front.

"Indeed, its bloodlust is like nothing I have ever seen. I understand why even a professional like you will run back."

Alec drew his brows together, Li Mingwu's comments were very unpleasant but that was the truth of the matter right now

As he decided to go forward, after lifting one leg, it was as though he was about to plunge into a vast ocean of blood. His throat died immediately and he felt like he was going to die no doubt about it.

In such a situation, his sense of fear kicked in and his legs suddenly made the choice alone.

He hated it, to feel so weak before Li Mingwu, it was annoying.

The monk still stood unbothered with an auspicious grin on its face and Eric behind it, maintaining his silence while the monk focused on the two new entrants.

"Alright that's it..."

Li Mingwu sighed and pointed two fingers to his forehead.

"Open third eye."
