Chapter 1973: A Plea -Part 1
Rex looks a little perplexed when he was finally given the chance but even as he is about to open his mouth, there was an accidental knock on the door and suddenly the turning of keys. When the doors were opened, the female agent asked if they could assist her in picking up the food.ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Jin stood up to aid her and so did Kai for they were the closest to the door.
"Lol. Pizza." Jin said as he saw the huge boxes within the plastic bags that she was holding onto. It was no wonder she needed help to get it through the entrance of the house. Everyone also stood up to aid with it with the exception of the fake Kraft who was at the corner and pretended to be asleep and Evon who had cast a spell around himself to have an anti sound barrier.
But the barrier only stops sound from coming through, not sight or smell. The fragrance of the Italian Pizza was already permeating the boxes and filling the entire house with its aroma. This undoubtedly made Evon a little irritated because he too was hungry after the fight against Spartakus.
It seemed like they had to stop the discussion for a moment or continue to proceed through the System Channel as they ate in silence. However, that was not the case for Jin who wanted to know the current situation that was happening outside. Like what was the aftermath of the victims who had gone to the hospital?
He knew there were a few unfortunate deaths and people were already grieving such losses.
The female agent thought for a moment and decided that there was no harm in sharing information with them. The senior agent had already stated that they should have already been crowned as heroes for the prompt actions taken to stop that obscene monster displaying such a powerful aura from descending.
She might not have been at the scene but the people who had gone to the hospitals were not just the only victims within the Colosseum.
"A 10 kilometre radius around the Colosseum had been affected but we had managed to evacuate most of the citizens out as soon as possible regardless of the tourist crowd…" The agent said but the sentences from Pei stopped the female agent from speaking further.
"Stop lying to us. We might be your captives but we are not idiots." Pei said and the female agent bit her lips for a moment.
"The effects of the powerful aura that had been emitted finally showed some effects to the population around that 10 kilometre radius. We thought that the people who needed medical attention were only the tourists and staff within the Colosseum. But we were wrong." The female agent said as she picked up her phone and showed the news article to Jin.
"People started to fall to the ground, seemingly lifeless but they were still breathing. If those citizens did not have some minimum level of magical powers within them, they would not be able to resist it. Some were already killed because of accidents that were happening from the loss of…consciousness."
"So, I assume like your senior who had a magical grade of 10 and above was able to survive that powerful aura even up to now?" Jin asked and the female agent nodded her head. "However, it seems like there were signs of him severely weakened by the aura. I have no idea how none of you are still fit as a fiddle when your cultivation auras seem rather weak…"
It was like a provocation by the female agent to see how strong they truly were but the rest were not so stupid to fall for such a low level trick. Even Ixel did not entertain such a request and merely opened the pizza box and started to eat shamelessly out of the box.
"Then are you telling us this because you are implying that we are not able to return back to our country that soon because of the situation that is unfolding?" Pei asked and the female agent was somewhat speechless from that quick snap back at her provocation.
"We will try our best to expedite it but the fact that there's chaos right now, we would not be able to process that request for you so soon. You all would have to stay here for a while longer." The female agent said as if she had the power to stop them.
"Do you guys really want to stay here for another 24 hours?" Jin asked and the majority of the foxes merely gave a sneer. They might have been heroes now but that does not mean they cannot be the bad guys as well. Of course, all the female agent would incur would be a hit at her nape causing her to fall into a deep slumber.
But as evil thoughts to overpower her in a second were creeping into their heads, Jin's phone rang and it was Sir Diego.
"Yes, Sir Diego?"
"Have you been processed?" Diego asked straight to the point.
"No, Sir. The agent in charge of us told us to wait in this pathetic room for maybe another 24 hours though we believed it is longer than that."
"I see." Diego paused for a moment. "Then I assumed you had been updated with the current situation?"
"Yes, Sir. We had already done our best to not allow him to emerge out of the crack. Any residue of void energy aura is not within our means to contain it. Nor were we aware of such a side effect on people with cultivation or magic training." Jin said and Diego understood.
"I am not blaming you at all. It could have been worse if that Void Being you killed had come in earlier to wreak more havoc. I sincerely apologise for the hospitality given to you."
"Nah, it's fine. The pizza that the agent bought was not bad. We like it." Jin replied as he saw the rest were eating like they had never seen food before. Even Evon came out from his barrier to take a box with three pieces left into his barrier and continued cursing at his workers.
"Then, would it be alright if the nation employs you to assist with the major accident that we have?" Diego asked and the Female Agent who had been using her magic spell to listen was rather shocked by the proposal.
"I am sorry but we are expensive. That slaying of the Void Being for free was a one time offer." Jin replied and Diego nodded his head. "Besides, according to that agent, we are not allowed to even step out of the house." Jin at that point, made a rather coarse comment towards Diego.
"I will get that sorted out. If you can help them. I am under the impression that you are able to perform some sort of miracles with those… foxes of yours. A dimensional instance of an unprecedented scale so that you are able to encompass everyone within that 10 kilometre radius.
And so that all of them within the dimensional instance can exit at various specific points such as hospitals and emergency field camps by the military?"
"Wow. Looks like someone had been spilling my secrets out." Jin commented and Diego let out a quick yes.
"Kong Rong had talked about how you create dimensional instances to keep things in. So I assume that you can not only keep things in but also bring people to places since the dimensional instance is some sort of time space manipulation." Diego said and Jin sighed.
"10 kilometres. That will be 10 million euros. No discount. Staggered Payment in half a year." Jin let out his terms and Diego was quiet for a moment as if he was doing the calculations. It seems like there was some talking in the background indicating that his conversation with Jin was being broadcast to other people as well.
"Any discounts?" Diego asked and yet Jin warned him.
"Discounts? Do you want to talk about discounts while people's lives are on the line? I did not expect that from you ministers who were supposed to solve the situation for the sake of the people." Jin said and Diego was once again silent.
"Then, you are charging this kind of obscene price!" One of the listeners echoed through and Jin could assume that Diego was on a voice call or video call with several people of high position.
"Mr Jin, we do not have the funds nor the budget to facilitate such a high cost. Can you save the people first and we talk about the pricing later?" Another guy was a little calmer and replied to the Dungeon Supplier with such a plea.
"Otherwise, we will just put you in the slammers! Don't forget that you came into this country without any proper permit! Be glad that you are not behind bars right now! Help us now or- " The very same irritated person was talking and suddenly he was cut off. It was pretty obvious that he was not helping with the situation and the rest were already hasty in order to appeal for the better part of Jin.
"The government had already ensured the people that help was coming and asked any Italians who were able to assist with the incident to aid to the best of their abilities. That was what they had written on your social media channels. So, let's just believe in your people." Jin said as he ended the call before Diego could say anything else.
"Let's return to our discussion shall we?"
