Chapter 1149 - Tension During Breakfast -Final -unedited

"While you are busy building your stuff, Dungeons and Pandas has never been this successful. In fact, the sales that the new raid had brought in by me was one of the most discussed topics in Webo." Despite Ke Loong's effort to divert the subject, Kraft had insisted on bringing it up again.

"What raid?" Jin looked at Kraft suspiciously since he did not authorise any new raids other than the Demopolis raid. The last he saw in the Pandamonium updates was also with regards to that particular instance.​​

"Duh, obviously the second part of the raid which you were not in. If not for my decision to bring in it, you would not have been able to sit here peacefully eating your breakfast." Kraft pointed the butterknife at Jin as if telling him that without the old Fox, nothing in the Dungeon Supplier store could be accomplished.

"Ya, I like to complain that-" Peppers wanted to say her terribly boring role of destroying the final boss in the Raid instance but Yun slapped a few bacon strips into her mouth and she kept quiet munching. (Although everyone on the table could sense that a telepathy link had been established between them, with Yun pressuring the Mage Bellator to make the matters on the table even worse.)

"Speaking of complaints, I do wish to bring up the point of making even more boss battles. We had been through quite a number of big boss fights, can't you just create more of that and dish them out to the public like hotcakes? We would be earning wads of cash in no time." Kraft suggested.

"In fact, if you need my help to improve the boss' mechanics, I would be willing to do so with a bat of my eye. However, my services aren't cheap considering the amount of attention I have brought to your shop. You should be paying me more than what I own right now. Perhaps, a small street named after me since you basically own Tiangong Shopping District." Kraft rumbled carelessly.

"What did you do during the Demopolis raid?" Jin started to feel a little ticked off but Kraft kept avoiding the issue by blowing his own trumpet. Although it was his natural behaviour, Jin did not want to hear any of this. He wanted to know what exactly happened.

"Blah! You want to know what happened, just read the report that the System generated. You should have done that before even coming to this breakfast table." Kraft waved off Jin's question and continued with his breakfast in delight. After all, he achieved what he wanted from this discussion.

Thus, instead of a slow and peaceful discussion over breakfast, it ended rather abruptly as Jin decided that he would like to read the report by the System in his room.

"Thanks, Lynn. The breakfast was awesome, something I did miss. Ke Loong, I will get the System to send you the necessary doc.u.ments. If there is anything that you need, just ask. You have the special Pandamonium App in your phone anyways." Jin reminded him as he brought the plates to the kitchen and took a bottle of water with him back to his room.

Lynn stared at Kraft and questioned why he would behave in such a passive aggressive manner.

"You have put in a lot of work to create all this food and I did not wish to sully the taste with our meaningless arguments." Kraft wiped his mouth and thanked Lynn as well for the food.

"You could have just postponed the issue to a later date. Did you really have to spite him this much?" Lynn cleared the remaining plates on the table and surprisingly, Kraft insisted on helping.

"This does not absolve you from the mistake you made. After all, you did push him into isolation against his will even though he did gain more than he should from those two weeks of hard work." Lynn added as she placed the dishes into the dishwasher while the System did its magic.

"If he cannot get over people pushing him around, he should not be our boss. Plain and simple." Kraft shrugged and Lynn shook her head.

"You and your weird antics," Lynn said and could only hope for the best.

"Sigh, if you want me to go apologise to him, I can." Kraft shrugged his shoulders, not understanding why there was a need to dig a mountain out of a molehill.

"Lynn, I'm going back to my office. Send my regards to Jin. And thanks for the hearty breakfast. I really hope I can partake in it again in the future." Ke Loong said as he bid goodbye.

"You're welcome!" Lynn shouted through the kitchen and when she wanted to send her guest out to the door, Yun insisted on doing so on her behalf.

"Do come back again. I apologise that you had to be part of such a tense situation earlier. I can assure you that this was not really something any of us had expected." Yun smiled and Ke Loong gleed right back at her.

"Don't worry about it. It's a small issue. If I were to be in the same shoes as Jin, I would have already erupted right at the table. Give him some credit for enduring the crazy workload and that fox's attitude." Ke Loong thanked Yun and a magic portal courtesy of the System emerged from right behind him, allowing the CEO to return to his office without the need to travel the busy roads.

Meanwhile, Jinn was in his room as he read the detailed report that the System had prepared and understood the System's rationale to not reveal the situation of the Dungeon world right away.

"Sigh, I knew something like this would happen." Jin's brows furrowed and his stress levels went up dramatically. While it made sense from a military point of view, since this was made to conquer upon weakening the troops, Jin felt that the civilians should not be involved in this at all.

What if the Seven City armies which he obtained knew what was happening outside, would they be happy serving for Jin?

Definitely not.

"Has the virus been activated?" Jin questioned and the System stated that the stomach virus nanobots had not yet invaded everyone, so the plan had yet to commence.

"Do not activate any of them without my direct permission. That is an absolute order." Jin instructed and Kraft happened to hear it when he was walking along the corridor.

"What are you doing?" Kraft questioned, his hands folded.

"I am doing something to stop you from creating havoc in the Dungeon World. We have enough trouble as it is. We do not need thousands of citizens' suffering under our regime." Jin replied with a stern voice.

Kraft sighed as he rubbed his temples. "See, this is EXACTLY why I did not want to get you involved. Anyway, you cannot stop me even if you are the System's user. Don't forget, the bond we entered puts us as equals!"

"So what? All I need to do is to let the army we obtained return home." Jin insisted, speaking slowly to keep his temper in check.

"Just to spite me, you are willing to abandon MY plan that will have us gain sufficient reinforcement for YOUR fight against the Farming World? Wasn't that YOUR agenda the entire time?"

"When did I ever agree to make the population of seven cities suffer for that? And only to heal them afterwards with Peppers and Milk? That is such a bad plan execution. I cannot believe nobody stopped you. Don't they have brains to think?"

"On the contrary, it is YOU right now, who is not using your brain! Do you have any idea how many people are suffering in your world alone on a daily basis? This will be no different! So what if some of them might die? Don't forget that resurrection is something natural in the Dungeon World, so ultimately they will simply blame the churchies for failing to help them!"

"Nobody needs to know that it was us who was responsible! This entire operation was done solely by my Night Foxes and they very well know how to keep their mouth shut. Like it or not, but this is the best way to gain support for our cause without any real sacrifices, in the shortest amount of time, as well as establish the religion that you so damn wanted!"

"Enough!!!" Jin nearly shouted as he demanded the System to execute the return order immediately. "I am returning the armies to where they belong. They are NOT needed for the Farming World!"

"So you want to do this the hard way?" Kraft questioned with a deadly stare. "System, Executive Order: Coup D'Etat!"

The System suddenly halted its order to send the armies back.

"Come and earn it," Kraft whispered each word right beside Jin's ear. In the next instant, both Kraft and Jin were teleported into a dimensional instance with nothing but empty space right around them.

The ceilings were covered with rows of lamps and the floor was made out of smooth concrete. No other minions or cultivators were there to stop them.

It was just Jin and Kraft right in the middle of it all.
