Number One Dungeon Supplier

The night could not have come any sooner as a fairly large group of people were amassed in Jin's house that the System had subtly enlarged the dining area and expanded the table to accommodate the bellators, and the humans which Jin had employed under the Panda Inc.

"Wow, it's rare to see such a huge crowd right here." Peppers said as she was sitting on the sofa waiting with Milk for the food to arrive.

"And everyone is on time too." Milk said as she saw the penguins coming out of the kitchen bringing all the food to the table. Jin, who was the last to arrive, quickly sat at the side of the table, with the rest to follow suit.

They did not hesitate to partake in the dinner which Lynn had prepared in advance and everyone ate while exchanging pleasantries. It was not long until Jin had decided to start the serious conversation which everyone kept quiet and listened to. He explained to the group what they had found and made the two parties noticeably agitated.

Royal Zodiac Snake General Hou Fei and the upcoming Royal Zodiac Dragon Head Kong Rong. Both of them repeatedly asked where the information came from which Kraft eventually used the System to show what it had found so far.

"That means there has always been a security breach all this time and we are totally unaware of it. Is that how the terrorists are able to infiltrate into the highest level of the echelon? Because the people at the top are allowing them to enter without us knowing?" Kong Rong suddenly felt his back aching from the burden he was about to carry.

"The only advantage we have right now is that we finally know a piece of the underlying puzzle. If the enemy does go up to the Prime Minister's Office, it would not be a wonder why they had been rather elusive." Hou Fei deduced.

"Honestly, at this rate, there is no one we can trust. Even though Kraft had assured us that the target had always been the Royal Zodiac Clans, we have no idea how closely knitted or manipulated the rest of the other clans are." Qiu Yue voiced her opinion. "They might have been doing the Banned Emperor's dirty work without knowing fully what they had gotten into."

"There are surface cracks among the Clans and even with this morning's meeting, people did not see eye to eye on most issues with the exception of the arrival of Jin. Most of them reluctantly acknowledged Jin's presence but they knew that if Jin were to grow, the clans would suffer in some way or another. The current delicate balance achieved by the twelve clans would eventually be interrupted with Jin's debut." Kong Rong said which Peppers surprisingly followed up with an astute observation.

"Why use their own people to do the job of destroying the Royal Zodiac Clans when there is already one which they could utilise as a distraction?" Kraft chuckled and everyone could see the rationale behind that.

"While doing a wild goose chase to catch a few Banned Emperor Terrorist, the damage would be done by making the clans jealous at Jin's success. They eventually might band up together to deal with Jin instead of accepting him as part of them." Peppers blurted out and everyone could see how the Panda Clan might eventually be the incidental bait. "Take the upcoming PandaVerse Festival. It will be a huge slap to the dungeon suppliers that had participated in the Symposium and surely there might be a few people who would be jealous of the possible success of the festival and might end up sabotaging it."

"I believe she meant the Rats." Milk chimed in and a few of them chuckled at that theoretical situation.

"Lol, imagine fighting the rats in the Farming World and deal with that shit in our world too." Qiu Yue remarked. "Rather than calling it the PandaVerse Festival, we might as well call it Rat Catching Festival."

"To be honest, the odds are low for that. The Royal Zodiac Heads could have done that if Jin did not participate in this morning's meeting but after getting some approval and recognition from the Defence Minister, it is unlikely they will have the guts to do such a dirty tactic. Still, do you want me to get some people to look into buffing your security?" Kong Rong asked and Hou Fei also said he could do the same though the latter would be more into participating in the festival as the soldiers had thoroughly enjoyed the previous time when they were around.

"You could not deny that the Banned Emperor Terrorist could send their very own people to disrupt the place. Having Hou Fei's troops might also be a boon since dealing with the Demon Rats could be a hassle and it would be great to have a company of trained soldiers accomplishing certain objectives."

"Yea, I see if I could rile up my Dragon Company to join the fun as well." Kong Rong said while he looked towards Ke Loong. "It's rare for you to keep quiet. Usually, you have lots of ideas."

"I am more concerned about the part where Jin said Kraft had made a verbal deal to manufacture 20 portal devices for the Defence Ministry. Like we had said, if used correctly, it would be a wonderful tool, but fall into the wrong hands…"

"Heh, for that. Perhaps allow me to bestow you a few…ideas of mine that could be incorporated into the portal device design." Kraft looked at Ke Loong and he shivered from his devilish smile.

"By the way, Jin. I know that it's a bit off topic but it's also kind of urgent. Well for me that is if you are willing to listen." Rei raised his hand in the heated discussion and Jin allowed him to say a few words.

"Erm…my family has been found according to Sebastia. But they are in a place where getting them out of the Mecha World would be kind of a sticky situation," Rei said and the rest could feel that this particular discussion they were having would be sidetracked a lot.
