As the Chairman and Jinchul observed Kade in the evaluation room, they couldn't help but be intrigued by his exceptional physical prowess. The Chairman's mind raced with possibilities of what this foreigner could bring to the Korean Hunter Association.

"Mr. Kade, it seems you possess quite a unique set of skills. Would you be willing to entertain this old man and demonstrate your physical prowess in the combat practice room with me" Chairman Go Gunhee inquired, his eyes gleaming with curiosity and excitement.

Kade, knowing exactly what he meant, flashed a confident smile and replied, "Of course, Chairman. I would be more than happy to, but please do be careful as I'm not exactly fond of injuring a veteran "

Jinchul and Gi-Soo immediately intervened as they tried to convince the Chairman to not proceed with what they thought might be a spar between Kade and The Chairman himself

"Please do think about this sir, there's no point in you fighting him yourself, let me fight him instead, let's see if he could back up what he says"

Jinchul said as he was not fond of what Kyle said about the Chairman, his respect for Go Gunhee was too much for him to ignore what Kade said

Go Gunshee hearing this just smiled and looked at Jinchul with his eyes close

"Are you implying that I will lose? Or have you forgotten just why I am the chairman of the Association?"

Jinchul shook his head and quietly stood behind the chairman again as he remembered just how strong the chairman is, not a lot of people can compete with Go Gunhee especially when it comes to close combat

Gi-Soo stood quietly on the side with sweat dripping down his whole body while sneaking a glance at the chairman

'Oh lord, it doesn't look like Kade will be walking out here without crutches'

In their mind Go Gunshee is unbeatable and they're not wrong for thinking that, Go Gunhee was considered to be the strongest S-ranker in Korea when he was in his prime, even now that matter is still debatable.

With that, Kade followed the Chairman and Jinchul to the combat practice room, where the floor and walls bore the scars of his previous antic. Kade immediately stepped into the middle of the training room and with a provocative gesture he looked at Chairman Go "Come"

And with that, Chairman Go made the first move, launching himself at Kade with blinding speed. His strikes were precise and calculated, each blow aimed to test Kade's defences. Kade, however, proved to be a formidable opponent, swiftly dodging the Chairman's attacks with minimum movements, as if he's dodging them at the last second.

As the fight escalated, the training arena became a whirlwind of movement and intensity. Chairman Go unleashed a barrage of powerful strikes and kicks, successfully landing a punch to Kade's guts which sent him flying to the other side of the training room, hitting the wall and making a crater

The whole crowd which consisted of just Gi-Soo, Jinchul and the two fighters themselves was stunned as they saw Kade come out of the crater unscathed and with the same smile on his face

"That was a good punch sir, but you seem tired already?" said Kade as he noticed the Chairman's rough breathing

"Haha you're correct, my body is not exactly at its prime for a prolonged battle like this" Go Gunshee openly admitted as he knew the limit of his old body, yet he felt so alive fighting the young man in front of him

"Well, the fight's not over yet so please do be careful now" The next scene left people bewildered as Kade with great speed vanished in his spot and appeared in front of Go Gunshee catching him off guard and kicking him in the stomach with great force, The Chairman skid back with both hands and feet on the floor barely stopping his body from flying across the room

With great will and determination, Go Gunhee tried to stand up, but also came great disappointment as his body failed him making him keel on the floor vomiting blood

The scene left the crowd stunned, but Jinchul quickly recovered and appeared beside Gunhee supporting him while he stood up

"Call the healers quickly Gi-so and tell them to get here as soon as possible!"

Jinchul sternly yelled at Gi-Soo as he looked at Gunhee worriedly, this was the first time he saw the Chairman in this state and it worried him, his gaze then landed on Kade while greeting his teeth

"It's alright Jinchul, I'm fine and don't blame the young man for fighting back, you can't expect someone to receive a blow and not fight back, do you?" Chairman roughly said as he struggled to even breathe from the hit he just received

"Yes sir…" Jinchul said as he retracted his gaze and accepted the fact that injuries cannot be avoided in sparring between two strong men

But as reality sunk in, they just now realised that someone beat the chairman, an S-rank hunter which means…

Chairman Go Gunshee exchanged a knowing glance with Jinchul before turning back to Kade with a smile.

"I officially welcome you to Korea Mr. Kade, I believe you will bring a new level of strength to our humble nation. Let us work together to face the challenges that lie ahead," the Chairman said, extending his hand in the hope of a handshake

Quickly grasping Chairman Gunhee's hand firmly "Thank you, Chairman, rest assured that you will not be disappointed with this decision" Kade said with a creepy smile giving the crowd a bad feeling

"Oh that's good to hear, but make no mistake, if I find anything about you having malicious intent against our peaceful country I will be the one to hunt you" Chairman Go grimly said to Kade as he increased the pressure of his grasp against Kade's hand, but this time Chairman Go didn't seem like an old retire man, he seem like the most alive person

Kade smiled at Chairman Go and just nodded his head, he felt some unknown energy coming out of the old man's body that seemed to be strengthening his grip against his hand

'This old man seems to be hiding some secret, I wonder of I would have still won if he used everything he had"

With that thought in Kade's mind, they both let go and Chairman Go started walking towards the exit and heading to the medic to heal his body, turning around just before he made an exit Chairman Go said"Oh and don't forget to show up to the conference, we'll be announcing our Tenth S-ranker to the country, this way we can hurt America's pride by showing them we snagged on of them too, hohoho"

And with that Chairman Go made his exit while laughing, leaving Gi-Soo by himself with the newest S ranker in the country

"Uhh would it be okay if I take a picture with you….?" Gi-Soo hesitantly asked as this could be an opportunity to show off to everyone that he's close to the newest S rank hunter

"No thanks" Quickly dismissing Gi-soo's request, Kade made his exit as well as he wanted to rest as he had yet to sleep since he came to this world.
