Chapter 19 : Changes

Inside the building where Claire, Chairman Reyes and the others, held their meeting, regarding the upcoming Hunters Tournament, which will be held 3 months from now. The tournament takes a lot of time to be prepared. They changed the tournaments location every year, they build the spectator's seats, the fighting stage, they invites all of the hunters all over the Philippines and other tournament necessities. The tournament will last for about four days, one for the elimination round, one for the quarterfinals, one for the semi-finals and one for the finals.

"That's all of it for today"

Chairman Reyes wrapped up everything and called it a day. Everyone stood up from their seats, picking up their valuables.

"Uh, Chairman! About the thing that you said, the latter, umm"

Claire called out to chairman, the chairman took a hint of what she wanted to say. He pats her shoulder,

"About that it's final, I'm excluding all of the S-rank hunters in this upcoming tournament. As I said earlier, The ten S-rank hunters will not be participating in the upcoming tournament but~"

Chairman cut himself halfway as he looked at Claire's face hearing that they won't be participating but as soon as she heard the word 'but', her face brimming with curiosity.

"But... I will add a little twist when it comes a special event for the spectators"

He said as he stretched his hands sidewards. What chairman said didn't satisfied her, but instead, she became more curious than before trying to know what he meant and will do. She kept pestering the chairman, it didn't took too long for the chairman to give in. He loves Claire, she's like a daughter to him and Claire sees him as a father figure. Her stubborn personality shifts every time she's with the chairman. His own father's always busy about work and got no time to spend with her so she's always spending her time alone.

"Okay, okay," He came closer for her to hear what he'll say, "..."

She nodded and nodded, then after that her curious face changed into a satisfied ones. It seems that chairman said something good to her, that will make her and the others excited.

"I've only told you this because you kept bugging me"

Claire smiled and hugged Chairman Reyes and he patted her head.

His secretary, Cristina, strode in the room. Everyone had already leaved the room except the two of them. Chairman saw her and she flashed the car keys.

"Ah, Cristina, did you finish it?"

She knew what he meant by 'it'.

"Inside the car chairman"

After hearing that the chairman will be going now, Claire bids her farewell to him. For the last time, he patted her again and she smiled.

Chairman Reyes and his secretary came out first, leaving Claire inside the room.

The two of them silently walked down the stairs to the outside. The driver opened the door and the two of them slid inside the backseat. And soon drove off.

"This is all of the information you asked me to search"

Cristina, gave the long brown envelope to chairman. He opened it to take a look at the papers and closed it again.

"Where is he right now?" Chairman asked.

"His location is currently unknown" She replied.

"I guess it can't be helped"
