Synopsis
According to Sihyeon, Adoron's Laboratory is either an C or C-minus ranked dungeon based in Uijeongbu. It's a good place for new hunters to get stronger. Sihyeon inquire why there and Hyeonu says he has some business there. Sihyeon warns that he might not be able to enter as the Ares Guild is abusing their exclusive rights to dungeons such as Adoron's Laboratory. Hyeonu is shocked and complains about the lack of laws that prevent monopolies. Sihyeon says that the government has no times to worry about hunters and they have no voting power. Only and small number of people clear the tower to advance to become a hunter. Hyeonu reiterated that the Ares Guild kills people in dungeon. Sihyeon says that dungeons are too dangerous for law enforcement to launch investigations, so they mark their deaths as "accidents". Hyeonu was pissed to hear this. On the surface, the Ares Guild is the leader of a rising industry that pays a healthy amount of the taxes and perceive that hunter business is "too delicate" to involve outside powers. After hearing all this, Hyeonu still plans to enter that dungeon, but Sihyeon asks how he plans to get through the guards stationed there 24/7. Hyeonu states that he will face him head-on. Sihyeon warns him that his plan will make him an enemy of the Ares Guild, but with his actions earlier, Hyeonu think that it's too late for that.

In the Ares Guild's Korean branch office, a meeting discusses the difficulties with expanding in China due to the Pado Guild. Because of this, it will take at least five months longer. Seonu asks about the movements in Russia and Japan, and one answers eight months and seven months respectfully. Seonu states that's not bad as staying one step ahead is more important than timing. He compared this to farming monster kills, as it more important to be faster than the guy next to you than the boss. He then tells him to monitor the progress and end the presentation. Byeonguk Yu hands him a tablet displaying the predicted statistics for Hyeonu Kim based on his performance at the Grade Assessment Exam's tutorial zone. Seonu wonders if the device is working properly after seeing the results, but Byeonguk states that the margin of error should be at least one grade. Seonu asks if he attempted to recruit him. Byeonguk says that Kang attempted but then Seonu gets the idea that it failed. He then says to ignore him. Byeonguk seemed puzzled at first, but Seonu sas that he doesn't need to play dumb. While having Hyeonu Kim would be a great asset for the guild, since he could clear labyrinths and dungeons with ease, he might grow unsatisfied and attempt to overthrow him. He calls this being a "poison apple", looks appealing but can be fatal after one bite. Rather than recruitment, he then tells Mr. Yu to send someone to "teach him a lesson." Seonu says that he will inform the management division. As Byeonguk leaves the meeting, an employeee franctically runs to him to inform him about a situation at Adoron's Laboratory.

At Cheonbo Mountain of Uijeongbu, just outside of the gate surrounding Adoron's Laboratory, an archer hunters pleads to be granted access but one of the guards says that she needs a dungeon admission ticket. He tells her to go find a labyrinth since they're full of low-level monsters and are free. The other guard says that he should warn her about dying. The bigger guard starts to encroach her, making her fell uncomfortable, He asks for her number in exchange for entry, but at that moment, Hyeonu shows up. The large guard tells the "old man" to "do his business" in the woods. Hyeonu replies about his business needing to be done in the dungeon. The guard tells him that this a real dungeon with monsters inside, which Hyeonu states why he came as he mocks his intelligence.
