Three weeks had passed since that day, and the Awakener Management Bureau finally held a confidential meeting with Prometheus. The details of the discussions remained unknown, but all the hunters who had been kidnapped were transferred to the Seowon Guild. The use of the term "transferred" was simple to explain.

Thud! A fist hit the desk.

"They’re completely violent. They’re practically animals, biting at everything. They can’t even tell what’s what anymore. Every one of them!"  

Although they were removed from the research facility, they still had to remain confined.

Nam Woo-jin sat in his chair, clearly displeased. His disheveled hair and the scorched, wrinkled lab coat he wore made it clear that he had barely made it through the ordeal. Marionette, standing behind him, started to tidy up his tangled hair as soon as he sat down. Nam Woo-jin took off his glasses, examining them in the light. Across from him, Jung-bin sighed quietly.

"Is that so... Is treatment impossible?"

"We were researching it. We gathered some information, but... we were interrupted, thanks to someone."
