After copying the abilities of both of them and receiving his rewards, Yun sets out to find the Dragon King.

50 years later

Yun does not know the whereabouts of the Dragon King. He has also acquired the treasures of all the THGs marked on THM. Yun has not left a single corner of the earth where he has not tried to find the Dragon King. He has searched every inch of the land, sky and sea. But he does not give up and tries once again.

10 years later

I give up. I can't do it anymore. What should I do? I also took help from all my network. But no one could give me a single clue.

[ You have really asked everyone and some even told you the truth. But aren't you forgetting something? ]

What?

[ It is your job to think. Use your brain a little. Is there any link that you have not yet connected? Even if some people know the truth, why would they tell you? Sometimes we need to try other methods to get the truth out. ]

....

I've asked all my friends and I don't have any enemies. I've looked at every organization, old or new... wait a minute, new organization, I get it. SSO. Why didn't I think of this before? Why did SSO build a basement and headquarters where Kurodos and Zephyr were imprisoned?

Now that I think about it, why is their basement exactly 100 feet below where they were locked in the dimension door?

[ Only they can tell you that. ]

Yun heads straight to SSO headquarters and enters the SSO chairman's office.

"Who are you? How did you get in? Guards. Guards...."

There's no need to call the guards. They won't come.

"What did you do to my guards?"

Nothing, they're fast asleep. Leave all that aside and answer my questions truthfully.

Tell me, what do you know about the Dragon King Kaelos?

"What are you saying? Dragon? What Dragon? That's just a myth. I don't know anything about it."

It seems you won't tell the truth like this.

Pow! Pow!

Bam!

Smack! Smack! Thud!

...A While Later

Are you ready to tell the truth now?

"Y-Yes."

Then tell me.

" ...."

Looks like I'll have to explain a little more.

"N-No. If I tell you the truth, they'll kill me."

Who are they?

"The Real Owners Of This Organization."

Owners? How many such owners are there in this organization?

"Yes, every Ancient Hidden Families of the world is the real owner and investor of this organization."

Don't worry about that. You must be recognizing this mask.

"0-07. Y-You are the mysterious person behind this mask. You are the one about whom it is rumored that you are immortal and have been living on earth for thousands of years. Even Ancient Hidden Families have not been able to find out anything about your background."

What? For thousands of years? What rumors have people spread.

"So are you not immortal?"

You don't need to know all that stuff. Tell me more.

"If you are that mysterious hidden figure, then I am ready to tell you everything. But you have to protect me from them."

Don't worry about that. Take my mask. As long as you have this mask, no one will dare to touch you.

"T-Thank you. This organization was not formed a few decades ago but has been in existence for thousands of years. Many thousands of years ago, some people found many ancient diaries.

Which were completely intact and whatever was written inside them was also completely intact as if this diary was written recently. But it was not so. After research, it was found that these diaries are thousands of years old.

The text written in the diary is magical because no matter what language you speak, you can easily understand that text in your own language.

Ancient Hidden Families came into existence from that diary. Using the information they got from that diary, they acquired powerful hidden ancient treasures, herbs and knowledge scattered around the world and gradually became powerful. But they could not find anything about the ancient beasts mentioned in the diary.

Which also includes mythical beasts like dragon, phoenix, black tortoise and white tiger. The families who found these diaries were finally stuck at one place. Because all of them had found the locations where those beasts were imprisoned But they did not understand how to open the dimensional doors. Due to which everyone gave up and united and formed this organization.

But we have found some clues a few centuries ago in the research of opening the dimensional door of Black Tortoise and White Tiger. Due to which we are very close to our success and in the coming few decades we will open this door which is under this headquarters.

That is why we brought ourselves in front of the world. The thefts that we had committed were proof to the world that no matter what we do, no one will be able to harm us.

They were not happy with the treasures and herbs that they had acquired. Because according to that diary, whoever will acquire the treasures of these four mythical beasts will rule not only this earth but the entire universe."

And?

"And that's it. This is the truth which has been hidden from the world."

About the location?

"Location? Whose Location."

...💢 You mothe*fuc*ker.

Bam! Pow!

Smack!

"Argh! S-Stop beating me. S- Sorry I forgot. The Dragon King's location is in the ocean."

He's not there. I've searched the entire ocean.

"The Dragon King is neither on the earth, nor in the sky, nor is he imprisoned in the ocean. But..."

But?

"He's under the ocean."

You.

"I-I mean he's under the seabed. To be specific, go to the middle of the Pacific Ocean and 10K feet below the seabed, the location of the Dragon King's dimensional door is there. Because no human can reach there, so we first focused on these three mythical beasts."

Do you know the location of Phoenix Empress too.?

"Yes, but since we are working on this project, no one has been deployed at Phoenix's location. Anyway, what can anyone do if their location is unguarded?"

"Do you want to ask anything else?"

No, I'll leave now.

"Where?"

Smirk!

"Don't tell me... no human can reach there."

But I can. Afterall I am the SO-CALLED immortal. Before leaving, as a reward, I also want to give you some information. There is no use of working so hard. Because I have already met Kurodos, Zephyr and Ardentia and one more thing, do not tell this to anyone and always keep this mask with you. It will save you.

"Kurodos, Zephyr, Ardentia...? D-Don't tell me.. But how is this possible? How can he open those doors?

Ha ha ha ha ha

If all this is true then this organization has no meaning. What will you all do now Ancient Hidden Families.

Ha ha ha..... "
