The faces of a few Hunters turn dead serious when Sungjun opens his mouth again, "I can use this ability to acquire enough time to run away, Stryker. And if it is a human, I can atleast take away his/her life in case I had no way of escape. I will make sure to have a companion in the afterlife."
"You fuc*ing bas*ard, I will kill you." Jaden Wong was filled with rage, and the sparks of lightning started dancing all over his skin.
He was about to charge forward and catch Sungjun's throat, but suddenly, an enormous amount of invisible pressure descended onto everyone, followed by a deep, threatening voice from the head of the table, "Sit down, Stryker. We are not here to fight."
Jaden Wong's body instantly shivered from top to bottom, and he turned around to look at Cyro, who looked quite displeased.
The speedster suppressed his anger and sat down in his chair.
Sungjun, meanwhile, intently stared at the man who commanded great respect from these individuals. "So, this is the power of S-class Hunter, eh?" He appeared to be calm on the outside, and he wasn't intimidated mentally either, but his legs were uncontrollably shaking down the table due to the difference in physique.
Cyro then looked at Sungjun in displeasure, "What do you think you are doing, Mr. Han?" His earlier demeanor as a nice and easy-going person was gone.
"What do you think?" asked Sungjun in return as he leaned forward, placing his elbows on the table, trying to act tough. He added, "Words are useless to people like you because no matter what I say, you will dismiss it with your own logic. So, I think actions are better."
Meanwhile, Sun Xiao felt like she was looking at a different person. In her view, Han Sungjun was someone who might frustrate her with his sharp and witty replies, but he wasn't the type to act this violently.
Or maybe, she doesn't know him properly. After all, it hasn't been long since they know each other. However, there's still a part of her that believes that Han Sungjun was only trying to act hard so that he won't be bullied by others. But, at the moment, her position makes it hard for her to speak. So, she decided to stay as a spectator.
Lucas, codenamed Steel Guardian, became speechless by Sungjun's temperament and said, "Do you even know where you are at the moment?"
In response, Sungjun simply scoffed and said, "Of course, I know. I am in the presence of mighty individuals who not only know how to fight villains but also know how to bully a rookie."
For a moment, a brief amount of silence filled the room. Except for Xing Lin, the woman who supported him, and Sun Xiao, who looked confused, everyone just flared up in anger. They felt like this rookie is more audacious than they expected.
In reality, Sungjun never planned to butt heads with these Hunters for higher positions and the social ladder.
If they had simply ignored him, he would have been fine but as Jaden Wong had crossed the line by hurling such statements, followed by the support of other Hunters in the form of silence, Sungjun decided to showcase the ability of his mystic eyes once again, this time, with more power, so that these people with a high ego would listen to his words when he leads them into the temple.
In reality, this technique isn't as simple as an illusion.
Sungjun first unleashes an illusion and then turns it into a reality. It's called Absolute Reality and was developed only a day ago.
As a result, it wasn't mastered, consuming almost all of the Mana particles in his body. That means he can no longer use his mystic eyes until his cells regenerate the Mana particles, but he was willing to gamble for the sake of the mission.
Fortunately, no one recognized this flaw, and Sungjun managed to fool everyone successfully.
Of course, this wasn't his strongest attack either.
Each of the active abilities corresponded to the color of his pupils.
Heightened vision – glow (passive)
Eyes of Truth – glow (passive)
Telekinesis – Yellow
Illusionary world – White
Illusion – Scarlet
Absolute Reality – Black
Dream control – Pink
Hypnosis – Navy Blue
Time Manipulation – Bright Green

While all these abilities seemed so overpowered, the consumption and strain were so heavy that he couldn't even use half of those abilities properly without destroying his own body. However, he had to take the chance with Absolute Reality and applied to the enemy that showed animosity against him for no good reason.
And now, he waited for the result with his reserves hit almost to nil. Based on the reaction, Sungjun decided on the degree of cooperation he had in mind with this secret mission.
To his surprise, Cyro acted before the others. No one even got to speak a word after this rebellious act, and the captain spoke. "Ms. Kitty Ranger, continue. Everyone, sit down."
With the entire room filled with silence, Julia, aka Kitty Ranger, cleared her throat and continued to speak where she stopped earlier. "The main reason Mr. Han is joining this mission is that his mentor was the scout who sacrificed his life to find the secret entrance and get us the inside details. Lt. Commander Cheng gave him the task of leading this team to the heart of the temple."
Taking a brief pause, she then glanced at a silent Sungjun, "Mr. Han, can you give a brief explanation of how you were going to lead the team?"
"Certainly," Sungjun immediately rose to his feet and walked toward her.
The rough sketch of the temple's blueprint was already displayed on the projector screen. So, he wouldn't have to request a change of slide and directly started explaining after taking the laser pen from Kitty Ranger.
"As everyone can see, the Temple of Horus has four different official portals, one on each side, but we won't enter through any of them." Sungjun pointed to the north-western entrance of the temple and then slowly moved down and continued, "Right below this entrance, there was an underground tunnel, which leads to a crypt that was flooded. The only problem is that the entrance of this underground tunnel lies at a depth of 2060 meters, where there is a hole in the barrier, unnoticed by the werewolves. And it goes like this."
He drew the imaginary line at a 52-degree angle and connected it to the altar, which is at the center of the temple.
Some guys hooked onto the new piece of information revealed by Sungjun and listened to it seriously, while the others, like Jaden Wong and Lucas, who are still angry with him, half-heartedly nodded.
Cyro then said, "Mr. Han, the hydrostatic pressure at the bottom at such depth will be more than 20 million Pascal (Pa). And from there, we should swim upwards for 2 more kilometers in the tunnel. Not everyone could withstand the pressure and accomplish the task."
"Ah! That tunnel is actually big enough for a submarine to enter." Kitty Ranger suddenly commented, gaining the attention of everyone.
The Hunters gave a meaningful stare at her as if they were asking why she withheld the information, and embarrassed them in front of the rookie.
