Number One Dungeon Supplier

"Blah blah blah. Does explaining to you make any difference right now? You are not going to be out of this place for some time and even if we tell you what is happening, what are you going to do about it?" Kraft suddenly questioned why Jin needs to know everything. It was probably that Kraft got bored of all the questions even though Narris had been doing all the talking.

"Even if you learn what is happening right now, in a few weeks or maybe in a few months' time, things will change again. Why don't we just give you a summary once you are done?" He yawned and felt that this was a waste of time talking about things of the past and issues he had no power over. Sure, he might ask the System to enforce certain problems but that would not change the fact that Qiu Yue was the one holding the reins.

"And speaking of Qiu Yue, I tried to tell her that I am meeting you right now. She continued to babble the same stuff. 'Bring more money to me'. Are we really that low in terms of funding? Should I get the Night Foxes to attack the Money Tower once more?"

"Keep to the schedule created by Sub System User Qiu Yue. There was a reason why she had made such a schedule to prevent fatigue as well as apply enough pressure on the Church of the Afterlife. If Original Bellator Kraft were to interfere with the schedule, it will mess up the monster rotation." The System reported.

"Bah! Then what if the Churchies are going to throw a curveball at us? Are we still going to be on rotation?" Kraft complained.

"If you are that bored, what about you go get my body right here and now?"

"Heh. If you are not coming out so soon, why should I do that? Besides, Qiu Yue said that an invasion of the Heavenly Plane is costing her a lot of money. Just to keep your human world scent away from the Gods, we need to do these many diversions." Kraft rolled Narris' eyes as his voice now overlaps with hers. "Why don't you ask what the System had planned for you instead? And that is assuming you survived this massive assault on the mountains." Kraft redirected his responsibility to the System and Jin took the opportunity to ask.

"Any luck in getting Duke Dyke to get the Lord title up and running?" Jin asked and there was no answer from the System with regards to that.

"See, if you are going to waste your time turtling in this mountain and in this Synthesis World, why should I spend so much effort in getting your body? Your business is still surviving since it had that boost of popularity from all your events. Not to mention, you are still churning out a few dungeon instances. I doubt anyone is complaining… well except for Kong Rong, your best pal from the Royal Zodiac Dragon Clan"

"Why, what's wrong?"

"Urgh, do I really have to be the messenger?" Kraft tilted his head upwards as if to stare at the System looking down on them, even though he knew that all he could see was an arbitrary ceiling consumed by the very darkness he exudes.

"The System believed it would be best for you to explain."

"GAH! TLDR. Do you know how Kong Rong decided to keep you under his care for some sort of protection? Well, since you disappeared into 'training', people are asking whether you are some sort of scammer."

"What…"

"Yeah, and Kong Rong even went under record to ask where the hell you had been hiding to perform your 'cultivation' from Qiu Yue. Obviously, she feinted ignorance and the System made sure to make her truth the universal truth. Lie detection magic was unable to catch anything." Kraft clapped his hands as if to congratulate the System for finally doing something useful.

"He is connected to the System, why can't you tell the truth?"

"Stupid, the System decided that it was vital he did not know anything. And so, after some big hoo-haa situation, they were able to turn their heads away from you since the Banned Emperor terrorists are doing naughty stuff again."

"What did they do?'

"They assassinated several parliament members in the European Union. They did not have direct ties to our main country but their racial background was more than enough to treat it as a major concern to the public."

"In any case, Kong Rong wanted you to be part of the Banned Emperor subjugation team but since you are gone, he had to put that project on hold and strengthen internal security instead."

"Why can't you help him? Aren't you two like great friends?"

"Too rigid, Not to my liking." Kraft dismissed his question almost instantaneously.

"However, I do think that we have not seen the last of those Banned Emperor terrorists. Even though there was a massive internal security sweep by Kong Rong and his Internal Security Department, they are merely picking up small fries. Still, it was without a doubt that your actions to protect our Motherland had indeed reduced their operation capabilities here, allowing Kong Rong to work less."

"But if what you say is true, then their overseas network might bring people into the country and create trouble," Jin commented and Kraft nodded his head slowly as if without care.

"So hurry back and we can pass judgment on those rascals. I do not want Kong Rong to pick up all the glory. Just go hit the Imperial Family or stop the private company by attacking their head. You were the one who previously proposed a strike to cut down Demopolis by sending the Foxes, why are you not doing the same thing?"

"I only have a squad of Mechanoids with me…" Jin thought for a while and then realised what Kraft was saying. He can hole up here for only so long and if Duke Dyke was not able to produce a satisfactory result for Jin, does that mean he has to keep defending Mount Sunn?"

"Either get that quack of the System to blurt what it wants to do or you decide for yourself. Otherwise, I am totally telling Qiu Yue to just ignore your physical body problem and continue life as usual without you." Kraft jabbed Jin at his shoulder but it was more than enough to cause the abyssal darkness to ripple around.

(Needless to say, Jin had been kicked out of that particular room as well. from that jab)
