"Any more questions?", Ruud Van Hasten asked. "Hmm.. So what you're saying is that we are being hunted by so weirdos but we can hunt them down as double weirdos. I love this idea". "Mr. Vanacken please, this isn't child's play so I expect the utmost seriousness from you [He glares at Clinton]. Mr. Vanacken gulped.

"Pardon me, Sir Hasten but can I clarify one thing. Will we be joining some secret agency of some sort?" "Of course Ms. Clara. All of you will be a part of the Alpha's. Clara sighed heavily in disappointment.

"[Sleinell yawns] Boring... Anything else? ", The 'S'-ranked player in an all black outfit and long hair said as he slumped down in his chair.

" I need all you to fully be prepared because you'll be heading to the headquarters of the Alphas'. It's located at Paris, France. [He turns to Ryan who had been silent throughout] Won't you ask any questions?"." No! I'm good",Ryan answered in a quick but shaky voice. "The conference at Paris will take place in a month's time to please be prepared",Van Hasten said. "I guess an upcoming vacation trip sounds good don't you think, Ryan?". "Yeah Ms.Emma" ."Ms? Since when did I turn a miss, just call me Emma" "Oka-y", Ryan answered now visibly shaking. Ryan tried to put on a straight face throughout the meeting but it wasn't working. Deep inside he was sweating buckets and wanted to leave the place as soon as possible(Just found out you can write this as ASAP). Ryan was choking on his own breathe. Ryan thought he was going to faint, the aura these S-ranked players produced was otherworldly. It made Ryan begin to doubt the authenticity of his S-rank. Discussion were ongoing when a loud sound was heard from where the entrance to the room was. They all quickly turned to see who it was. The person was dressed in a formal attire and was holding a bunch of documents in her hand with a pale face. It was the Chairman's secretariat.
"Chairman,[panting] our gate readers(machines) have detected a new dungeon. It appeared in front of a popular café on Main Street Block. It's a-a C-rank dungeon!". "What? A C-rank dungeon that's impossible. This is a national disaster!". "Mr.Chairman, I get that it's a new dungeon and all but we're here so there's no need to overreact"."Clinton, or whatever you're called quit your nusiance and take things seriously. Do you think the Chairman isn't aware of our presence". Emma finally spoke for the first time in the meeting and had a stern glare in her eyes towards Clinton.

"Yikes! I'm sorry ma'am", Clinton saluted. " On the normal C-ranked dungeons appear after the 20th Floor is conquered but this one appeared earlier. From the knowledge I gained from becoming an entrenched player, I know that the minimal requirements for such a dungeon is 8 LVL.45 regular players or 3 LVL.40 S-ranked players. Which none of you qualify. [Hasten's eyes glow silver] We have to minimize the deaths and destruction before other cities are touched. Ella what's the status report?".
Ella was reading something on her phone and her face had a shocked expression on it. Her jaw distended,"Sir the dun-dun-dungeon has been cleared". "WHAT? This isn't a joking matter Ella be serious". "Sir here take a look",Ella handed the phone over to Hasten and he saw the news. "That's impossible only two players? Hmm... I have to see for myself", Hasten said before leaving the room without any prior notice to the S-ranked players. "Please, I'm sorry but The chairman has some urgent matters to attend to so he has to take his leave now", Ella pleaded on behalf of Ruud. "Apparently only two players defeated the dungeon, one was in a red and black mask while the other was S-ranked player, Leon De Rünter", Ella gisted to the S-ranked players before following the chairman. After Ruud Van Hasten and Ella had left the room fell into silence. Ryan was shaking uncontrollably and wished he had left with his grandfather. Sleinell broke the silence with his piercing whistling which triggered Clinton immediately. "Stop that! You're still able to whistle after what you just heard. I'm a joker but even I am humbled by those two monsters feats. I'll take my leave, if the chairman comes back tell him I'm gone", Clinton walked out the room with a serious expression on his face for the first time and his eyes glowed cinder. He finally understood why he had to stay humble,"There are too many monsters amongst us", Clinton said to himself as he left. The others in the room also left one by one till it remained Ryan who was shaking vigorously and Emma. Ryan got up to take his leave but Emma prevented him from doing so with a question,"Ryan was it? Why are you soo tensed? Loosen up a bit. I'm I really that scary[she laughed]. I'm Emma Greene, the Lumiere Guild's Guildmistress. I'll be blunt with you here, that guy in the mask the Chairman's secretariat mentioned you know him right?", Emma said menacing as she turned her smartphone towards Ryan. "The one in the background of this picture that's him right". "How the... How did you know". Emma laughed ,"My Dear, I've got eyes everywhere and plus it was obvious from the expression you had on your face when the secretariat mentioned it. I won't delv into why he's keeping his identity hidden. But if he has any alterior motives,"I'LL STOP HIM", Emma said with a cold menacing stare.
"Mommy please save me",Ryan thought to himself as he gulped. Ryan was shocked about how precise her information was. It was as if she could read his mind. Not only was she smoking hot but she was insanely strong too. Ryan wondered what kind of ability Denzel was able to use to defeat a threat like the C-rank dungeon and he still could not make sense out of it. Emma left saying she had some important paperwork she had to file and Ryan fillowed her like an obedient puppy. Just as Emma got to the entrance of the building, Leon was also rsuhing into the building leading to the first encounter of the two strongest players in the Netherlands...
