The meeting went on for a while more before everyone left the building and either went to their various places of work which were only those who still had one and needed it to survive or where they've decided to spend their leisure time for the guild members who were retired. It was just a couple of minutes since this particular Saturday afternoon started and those at a certain bar as well as other leisure establishments were tuning their television sets to the highly anticipated broadcast of trial currently taking place inside the Metro City's High court. This particular bar was the one inside the apartment building where most of the Hunters guild members lived and although other people from different buildings and streets could come in to spend their time and were even presently inside and getting a few drinks too, those more prone to patronize and are seen to be more now were the tenants of this building.  Also, the Hunter's guild conference building

"""WHAT!!?""" Everyone everywhere which this broadcast was being watched by had a moment of unanimous exclamation as they all couldn't believe what they just heard with their own ears. "The truth about the Pyrex 9 virus? What the hell does that mean?" Paul mumbled, paying close attention so he doesn't miss anything being said. The masked individual continued "About two decades ago the president of the GHA, Gabriel Beldior Valestein, who is indeed a very terrifying man, stumbled upon a one of a kind gemstone, a boy who so happened to possess inhumanly abilities and that knowledge was shared only with those in power with those big names including your nation's former presidents, the military general directly under him as well as the rulers of your Three Kingdoms. Like all power hungry maniacs who aren't satisfied with the stolen resources your ancestors gave to them they still sought for a way to make more of this gemstone but tried to keep everything under wra

With the sound of two gun shots fired and their pitches that made it clear that they were both from two different guns the Upriser Lieutenant and the regular Upriser who had had Michelle pinned down were both hit and pushed backwards, both slamming a portion of their bodies on the van which they came here with. Surprised at what just happened but also happy and being able to see the opportunity that had just presented itself the Hunters who were in the bar and had first rushed but were forced to stop by the Upriser Lieutenant until this happened still had a little momentum in them which they instantly added more to and picked up their pace, dashing outside the bar and standing in an improvised support formation behind the others, Michelle and Kevin who had gone down and was helping her up. "Wait!" Laying on the ground and managing to rest his body on the tire of the van as he applied pressure on his shoulder which was where the bullet had hit, a few centimete

A couple of minutes, up to thirty minutes earlier, after the meeting at the Hunters guild conference Hall pertaining the shifting of their annual hunting festival had just concluded and most had started heading out to continue with the rest of their day, Xander and a few others were made to stay behind and tidy up the place before they leave as it was their time on the roster. "You're joining me later for a drink right Xander?" Asked Kevin as he, Michelle and Paul were just about to head out. "Of course Kevin, it's a shame that I have to arrange today or we would have watched the trail together but once I'm done here it'll only take me a moment to get to the bar" "Yeah, but what the real shame here is is that because we're leaving before you and since I can't wait cause I'm missing trail time right now, we can't get a ride in that Jeep of yours. Could have gotten to the bar a lot faster with that beauty instead of having to trek like everyone else

Because he had been streaming the trail broadcast as well as the news report given to everyone by the Upriser commander like a podcast he hadn't really seen much from the stream but during that time he had sat down in order to get a better listen which was when the others thought that he had gotten sick, Xander had seen a short few seconds of the broadcast and saw the uniforms that the three Uprisers on the screen had had on and it was uncanny from what these assailants had on now. "Drop it! Drop your weapons now!" Shouted the Uprisers as they stormed inside the building and with the force and pressure they were coming in with, a few of the Hunters in the conference Hall already, especially the lady who used to be a secretary before but now a hunter couldn't help but have her hand trembling with fear as this was a situation she has never been in before. However, because the others still had their weapons pointed and were willing to die to fight for themselves
