Chapter 1090 Origin Rune Essence (Part 1)
As Evan entered the room, he saw a total of eleven people seated around a long table. However, of the eleven, only five were present in person; the remaining six were holographic projections.
These high-level hunters had to guard dangerous locations on Earth and couldn't leave, so they joined the meeting virtually.
Evan didn't mind this arrangement. The reason he had threatened to murder them if they didn't attend was to prevent any future complications. He wanted to avoid a situation where the hunters might claim that decisions couldn't be made because some high-level hunters were missing or make other excuses. Now that most of them were present, whether in person or by projection, he was satisfied.
Among the eleven people in the room, four were female and seven were male. Valery had informed him that there were a total of eight S+ Rank hunters on Earth, and all eight were present in the room, including Valery.

Three of the S+ Rank hunters were female, and five were male. As Evan and Valery entered the room, the eyes of all eleven hunters turned toward him.
However, when the five hunters who were physically present, including Boris, saw Evan, their expressions changed because they sensed an unprecedented danger emanating from him.
This was because Evan had deliberately released some of his aura to prevent them from doing anything foolish in the future.
Boris's expression grew solemn as he felt Evan's aura, but he remained silent. Instead, it was Leon's projection that spoke first.
"See, even though you guys left without me, I still arrived here before you."
Since Leon was the only one who had interacted with Evan before, Boris and the others decided to let him take the lead during the meeting.
"Do you want me to come and bring the real you here? It would only take a few seconds, you know," Evan said in a light voice when he heard Leon as he sat down on the chair at the opposite end of the table.
"Forget it. What if you suddenly decide to blow up the entire building on a whim? I don't want to be there when that happens," Leon said with a shake of his head as if he was joking, but only he knew how serious he was.
Although Leon said this in a joking voice, Boris and the other four hunters, who were present in person tensed up at his words, feeling that perhaps they too should have joined the meeting via projection.
"Do you think I'm a terrorist?" Evan rolled his eyes and replied lightly. "The reason I asked to meet all of you is that I have one simple request. As long as you fulfill it, I won't do anything."
Boris's expression turned serious at Evan's words and he asked in a deep voice, "I wonder, what is your request?"
Evan looked at the brown-haired Boris and asked in a calm voice. "You are?"
Actually, because he used his spiritual senses earlier, Evan already knew the names and identities of all eleven hunters in the room.
The reason he politely asked for Boris' name was because when he had used his spiritual senses earlier, he had overheard Boris expressing his opinion to avoid conflict with him.
Since Boris wanted to avoid any conflict, Evan also decided to act more courteously, after all, he also didn't want to make trouble for Boris and others for no reason.
Boris was slightly surprised when Evan politely asked for his name, given that Evan had acted arrogantly since entering the room, even releasing some of his aura to intimidate them, he did not expect him to act like this.
But he was just a little surprised and soon returned to his senses.
"I am Boris Throns, the head of the Federation. As long as your request does not harm the people, we will do our best to fulfill it."
Evan nodded upon hearing Boris.
"My request is very simple..." He said in a deep voice, "I just want information."
"Information?" Anna, one of the S+ Rank hunters who had long green hair and was present via projection raised an eyebrow when she heard Evan. "What kind of information do you want?"
Evan looked at the green-haired woman and replied in a serious tone.
"Everything. I want information about everything that has happened since the world changed more than fifteen years ago. Whether it's about the first dungeon that appeared in Florida in Ray's apartment, or what happened to Ray's body after it exploded into energy waves—I want to know everything. Oh, and by the way, when I say 'everything,' I also mean the things you've never made public and are trying to hide, like…" Evan's gaze turned cold as he looked at all the hunters. "Whether there is anyone helping you all increase your power quickly and giving you information about powerful formations and weapons."
When Evan mentioned someone possibly helping them increase their power, the faces of some hunters changed slightly.
However, a few hunters, including the green-haired woman remained expressionless as if they had no idea what Evan was talking about.
Evan noticed the slight changes in expression on some of the hunters' faces but didn't say anything because as long as they gave him all the information he needed, he didn't care about their affairs.
"You said you want information about everything strange that has happened since the world changed. Suppose we accept your request, but what will we get in return?" Asked the projection of a man clad in black and gold armour as if he were in the middle of a war.
"What do you mean, 'what will you get in return?'" Evan looked at the man in confusion. "Didn't I save this entire planet yesterday when those powerful guys came here through the portals? What else do you want? "
The faces of all the hunters changed at Evan's words. Although they had already suspected that the black monsters who had taken away all the Glacifern people emerging from the portals were connected to Evan, it had only been a guess. Now that Evan had admitted it himself, they couldn't help but shudder, realizing that Evan wasn't alone and could even control powerful monsters.
But despite their shock, they still didn't want to accept his request without getting anything in return.
"Do you think we're fools? You said you saved the world by stopping those monsters, but anyone with even a little bit of brainpower can guess that those monsters were related to you…" A black-haired woman with fair skin spoke coldly. "The portals appeared on Earth right after your arrival, and the first portal opened in Antarctica where you were fighting. It's obvious those portals were related to you."
"Bit*cough* Miss, please! Do you think I'm some kind of wanted criminal?" Evan said in a flat voice. "I know who those people are, but believe it or not, they're not after me."
'He was about to call her a bit*h, right?' Valery's eyes twitched uncontrollably when she heard Evan and she almost laughed out loud.
"You mean those portals aren't related to you?" Boris asked while raising an eyebrow when he heard Evan.
"Yes, those portals have nothing to do with me. The reason I told you guys to stay away from them is because if anyone else comes out of those portals and you happen to be near them at that time, you wouldn't even get a chance to run away before being killed."
Leon's face changed when he heard Evan and he asked in a serious voice. "Are you telling the truth?"
"I have no reason to lie to you," Evan said with a shaking his head and was about to continue, but before he could speak further, he received a message from his shadow clone, and a notification flashed in front of his eyes, causing him to pause for a moment.
