Chapter 157 Cook Up!

After entering the assigned office for submitting the assignments and the bounties, Bobby threw all the fourteen captives down on the ground.

Thud!

On hearing the thudding sound, the old man who was scribbling something on the booklet glanced up at Bobby.

"State your name, ranking, and mission code!" The old man said indifferently without beating around the bush.

"Loki Bradworth, Elite Level 9, and my mission code is," answered Bobby, as he continued, "Q99ty dash yy# dash wyy077"

Beep!

The machine installed on the desk beeped and a secret file of Loki Bradworth appeared on the 3D image also the password for his mission began to load.

And the next second, the detail of his latest assignment also appeared on the screen.

The old man read out loud. "An inspection mission. Entitled, to find the reason for the miscommunication from the 17th Battalion that are assigned to study the Human teleporter device in the Arid Archipelago Island. Huh!"

He stood up abruptly and said, "Mr. Loki, I need to call someone for this mission. Please, give me a few minutes. I'll be right back."

Then the old man stormed out of the room.

"Perhaps, things might play out more complicated than you thought," Cynthia's mellifluous voice chimed in his head.

Bobby replied telepathically in his mind. "That's to be expected. After the loss of a very special battalion, and then the other elites that I killed. Do you assume this can be resolved so handily?.... But there is nothing to worry about." Bobby replied with a devilish grin and continued looking at the fourteen captives who were still unconscious. "Those fourteen are my ticket to clear all of this mess."

Soon, the door of the room creaked, and an old man came in bringing along a middle-aged-looking man.

Bobby wondered in his head, 'Oh, Vice-Chancellor Kuppo!'

The Vice-Chancellor Kuppo glanced at Bobby, scanning his Angelic Grace Energy within his body.

Bobby felt a tingling sensation all over his body.

Snap!

The snapping sound of Cynthia's fingers chimed in Bobby's head and the next thing, the scanning technique of Vice-Chancellor Kuppo was canceled abruptly.

"Eh!" Kuppo exclaimed in surprise. Then he looked down and happened to see the fourteen youths lying unconscious on the floor. "The Truth of Vanishment Gang!" This time he was flabbergasted.

He then asked, looking at Bobby, "Soldier, do you apprehend them?"

"Greetings, Vice-Chancellor Kuppo!" Bobby saluted him, slapping his fist on his chest, and continued, "Responding to the earlier question. Yes, sir, I captured them from the Arid Archipelago Island."

The old man abruptly jumped into the conversation, saying politely,

"Sir, this is the lad. The sole Level 9 Elite who came back after accomplishing the mission in the Arid Archipelago Island."

"Good job, Gutcsko! I'll take it from here. Can you give us the room?" Vice-Chancellor Kuppo asked the old man to leave the office.

Gutcsko saluted at him and briskly walked out of the room, leaving the two alone.

"Soldier, state your name, family name, ranking, and the name of your mentor?" Vice-Chancellor Kuppo asked, according to the book.

Bobby replied, "Loki Bradworth, an illegitimate son of the current patriarch of the Bradworth family. Ranking, Level 9 Elite. And lastly, Captain Shiko is my Captain."

"Good, good, so that brat Shiko manages to scout an excellent pupil this time." Vice-Chancellor Kuppo whispered and he asked, "Alright, now you tell me all the details of the events that happened in the Arid Archipelago island?"

Bobby thought, 'Hmm, he's a good impression of me.'

Bobby began, recounting after a couple of minutes. "It was eight days from today, I accepted the mission and went to the Arid Archipelago to investigate the sudden loss of communication of the 17th Battalion from the headquarters. I left my flying vessel auto-piloted in the air near the island and flew stealthily there. When I reached there I feel this feeling of strangeness I have never felt before,"

Bobby halted his story as his face made a serious expression as if he wa telling the story while remembering the event of that moment.

"Oh, what strangeness?" The Vice-Chancellor Kuppo asked curiously.

"Sir, it's the surrounding of that place. Like any other island, I didn't even hear a single chirp of birds or insects. So, I hid for several days in the forest, and yesterday I saw fourteen people staying inside the palace."

He continued, "Even though they wore the military gown of the Black Lagoon Unit. I felt that something was amiss as they were in our jurisdiction and at the same time our people went missing. So, I went inside and asked about their purpose for coming there and also about our missing people. But they attacked me and therefore I overpowered them, and knocked them all out to be interrogated here in the headquarters. Sir, I believe they have something to do with the missing of our people."

Bobby finally ended his report. He chanted a spell in Old Posul and a white Angelic Grace Energy appeared on the tip of his index finger.

He then squatted and tapped on each of their foreheads waking them all up.

The moment they regained consciousness, they reacted quickly as they tried to attack Bobby.

"Humph!" snorted Vice-Chancellor Kuppo, and pressed his aura over them making them freeze.

"Mr. Loki Bradforth, that's a nice story. But, let me check whether you're telling the truth. It's the standard protocol." He said.

"Sure, I understand," Bobby replied calmly.

Kuppo began chanting a magic incantation as he made a series of hand seals and shouted, "Soul Searching Spell, activate!"

Then the white Angelic Grace energy expelled out from his hands during the incantation transformed and materialized into a spherical ball with various symbols on it.

Then he brushed the magical seal in his hand at Faf's forehead and closed his eyes.

He continued for over five minutes and finally opened his eyes and smacked Faf, making him fall to the floor.

"Loki, it turns out your guess is right after all. Alright, you go back to your quarter for now and have some rest. I'll inform you about your rewards." Kuppo said.

Bobby saluted him and came, rushing out of the building. And he went straight for his lodging quarter.
