The Hunter Association arrived only a minute later.
After seeing the devastated battlefield around them, the leading Platinum Core couldn't help but stare at the five students in shock.
''What happened here?'' he asked, glancing at Theo.
Theo introduced himself and his friends, alongside their affiliations.
Finally, he explained how they'd been attacked a day after purchasing resources from the auction house.
As he spoke, the captain's expression gradually darkened.
''We'll investigate the auction house,'' he said solemnly. ''If one of their employees leaked customer information, they'll be held responsible.''
Theo nodded once.
"That'd be nice," Theo replied. "Will we be compensated if that's the case?"
The association captain nodded without hesitation.
''I'll personally make sure of that,'' he replied firmly.
A smile flashed across Theo's face.
