'Taking over more stations to increase the rank of the flag and becoming a king, Huh,' Haru thought looking at the new sub scenario.
Just from this, the main point of the Fourth Scenario had become clear.
'The scenario is to find a leader or leaders that will command Seoul City,' Haru jumped down on the tracks and started to walk back towards Chung-muro, this could end in different ways depending on who the Scenario is played out later.
For now, he had done everything he came out to do, and things back at Chung-muro were also progressing how he wanted them to so there was no need to worry about it for now.
Half an hour later,
Haru was back in Chung-muro passing the group he sent there since he was running back, and as soon as he stepped on the platform, Haru found Queresha waiting for him.
"We found the ones who put the two groups on to us," Queresha got straight to the point.
While Haru was away she questioned Il-hun and that guy crumbled under pressure really quickly when Nam-woon got ready to cut him into pieces.
"Two groups?" Haru asked since he had only seen Dong-Daemun trying to attack them.
"Myeong-dong's group was also waiting to attack us as soon as the barrier went down, but they were killed en route," Queresha explained and Haru nodded since he understood who did that.
"Where are the others?" Haru asked since the main group wasn't down there.
"They are on the second floor near the flagpole," Queresha led the way as they two went up the stairs passing by the busy people that were working on moving things.
"Haru-ssi you came back, Thank god you're safe," Sang-ah was the first to notice them and the anxiousness on her face went away as she saw Haru.
When Haru left only Queresha knew about it and the group nearly panicked because of his sudden disappearance.
"I told you he'll be alright," Hee-won shook her head as if this was why she had been trying to calm down Sang-ah, Hyun-sung also looked relieved now that he saw Haru was fine.
"Why don't you learn a thing or two from Sang-ah," Haru said as Hee-won didn't look the least bit worried.
'Well, that would be impossible,' Dok-ja thought as he saw Sang-ah looking flustered, she was feeling like Haru was overpraising her for something really basic.
What she didn't understand was that this basic feeling of worry for fellow humans was really lacking in the current situation.
"As if something would happen to you," Hee-won blew over the topic as it sounded ridiculous.
Also, she had seen enough of Haru's skills to know that he can easily run away if he is outmatched in any situation. So, she thought that there was no point in wasting her brain cells over this.
"Well, Whatever, let's go over what we've found, I'll go first," Haru shook his head before telling them what he did.
'A Navy flag already, well, what can I say about this,' Dok-ja sighed as he heard that Haru had unlocked the King's road and only two hours have passed since the scenario started, this showed the difference in their combat powers.
"Yikes, This Scenario is a lot more brutal than the ones before, Haru you better do your best or we're toast," Hee-won shook her head as she heard about the details of the new sub scenario. But even if she said that, there wasn't any fear on Hee-won's face, And it was the same for everyone else here.
"It won't come to that," Haru said even though the others trusted him which is why they weren't fearful when they heard of the Scenario's details.
"We'll also do our best," Sang-ah said and Hyun-sung nodded quickly, they weren't going to let Haru do this alone, they also wanted to help so that he can focus on the really important matters.
"Okay, So, Dok-ja what did you find?" Haru turned to Dok-ja.
Dok-ja gave a brief report about what was found at Myeong-dong and Eul-jiro Sam-dang stations. Of course, he didn't tell anything about the flag, and to his surprise, he wasn't asked any questions on that after he said that the flagpole was missing from the station.
'Am I really that trusted?' Dok-ja wondered as Haru moved on to the next topic, which was discussing what was found about the people behind this coordinated attack.
"Prophets? Like the real thing?" Hee-won mused after hearing what Queresha found out.
From the information Queresha got from Il-hun, he was given the information by a group that called themselves the Prophets and they were based in Dong-myo Station, he didn't know anything more than that.
"Well, that is still unclear since the amount of information the Dong-Daemun group had was lacking in several ways, what we want to figure out is if this was intentional or not," The others nodded at Haru's words since it made sense after they heard what happened with Il-hun.
'It is most likely other readers, Prophets are really rare in the world of TWSA, but still, there is a possibility although really slim,' Dok-ja thought as he looked at Haru.
"I think it would be a good idea to go and check out Dong-Daemun Station, maybe we could find something about this group from their leader," Dok-ja made his suggestion carefully and Queresha turned to look at him, this made him a little uneasy on the inside but it didn't show on his face.
"That seems like the best course of action," Queresha nodded as Dok-ja was relieved that his suggestion wasn't shot down, though he was certain it wouldn't be.
"Hmm, I was about to go there anyway but I thought about checking a few things out before," Haru nodded as he had the same plan but he delayed it a little.
"Were you planning on going out alone again?" Hee-won raised an eyebrow.
"…No," Haru looked away as Hee-won narrowed her eyes, she wasn't believing any of it, it was easy to see that he was about to do just that.
"We'll make a team that'll go with you, can't take any chances with this one," Hee-won shook her head as much as she trusted Haru to be strong.
It is not like she'll just leave all of the work to him. And who knows how powerful this group called 'Prophets' were, Being over-prepared is better than being underprepared, and since there were many unknowns about this group currently, it would be better to be as careful as possible.
"That's unfair Ahjussi you are hogging all of the fun, I want to go out as well," Ji-hye just wanted to get out of Chung-muro as there was nothing else to do here now.
'She is not going to leave the station now,' Jin-ah thought looking at Ji-hye as Queresha glanced at her.
"Alright, let's form the team that'll go," Queresha said and everyone nodded.
A few minutes later, Haru, Dok-ja, Hyun-sung, Hee-won, and Alea left the station going towards Dong-Daemun station.
'I wanted to go as well,' Jin-ah thought but she got to work quickly after she saw Queresha coming back up to the floor, Ji-hye also accepted that she won't be able to go and decided to help in guarding the station, She could see that Jin-ah and Alea both didn't question Queresha's decision.
Ji-hye was a bit confused about it at first and knew that there should be something that made them behave that way, But…
'I don't want to find out about it the hard way,' But unlike Ji-hye there was another person that didn't seem to get this memo.
"How can they go without me the Vanguard? Saint explain this to me," Nam-woon wasn't having it and he asked Queresha a question.
"…" Queresha stared at him for a while before his pompous nature vanished in thin air.
"…Noonim, why wasn't I sent out?" Nam-woon asked again speaking respectfully.

'He talked normally?' Ji-hye was actually getting annoyed at Nam-woon's chunni speech, it was only funny for some time.
But Nam-woon didn't look like he was going to change it anytime soon and he wasn't one to listen to people anyway, but it seemed that she was wrong…
