Citizens across the world were in a panic. 0

Black portals had appeared simultaneously across the world, causing fear that the Demon Force was launching an all-out assault. 0

However, the chaos did not last long.0

“To all citizens: the Heroes Association and UD Group are conducting a joint operation. Please evacuate to a safe location to prepare for potential clashes…”0

Semi-transparent ghosts roamed the cities, declaring the announcement to all upon emerging from the portals. 0

And just as they said, a mass of undead began raiding the locations where the suspects were believed to be hiding soon after.0

However, despite all the resulting turmoil, Gregory had received the news of the operation taking place slightly late. 0

“…You’re saying the UD Group launched a large-scale assault?” Hanging up the phone, Gregory looked at the investigator with a bewildered expression.0

“Yes, sir! We’ve confirmed over 198 cases so far!”0

The count didn’t seem too significant, but when factoring in the fact that more than half of the incidents were occurring in major cities worldwide, it was nothing short of a global operation.0

He said he’d act in a week, so why now?0

Gregory recalled the conversation he had the previous night with Seon-Woo about Se-Hoon.0

Was Wurgen acting on his own then? Or was the Heroes Association so untrustworthy in Se-Hoon’s eyes that he took action...0
