Chapter 1967: Finally, The Supposed Discussion -Part 2
They knew that if they were to speak with chi telepathy or move their mouth muscles, the agents that were escorting them would know what the hell they were up to.
Of course, Kraft wished to test the limits of their agents but Jin told him not to bother them as they were innocent people listening to instructions. They should already be glad that they were not in chains. (Not like those chains could stop them at all.)
"I think this will just make Kraft even more disgusted and prone to havoc if we were just to talk and ignore him." Rex knowing his brother in arms well enough that this was not the best of ideas for the Original Bellator of the System.
"Its fine, all he needed to do is to make a copy good enough while he can sip some coffee at some Italian café down the streets." Pei shrugged her shoulders stating that this was possible for a master manipulator like Kraft.
"Yeah, I will probably do that once we reach the safehouse. I just wanted to try fighting a Void Being. Too bad the one we pit against was just some arrogant warrior. He should just be one of the beings at the lowest hierarchy.
Oh well, at least I get to feel and understand how Void energy felt like, so its not exactly a waste of time for me at all." Kraft said and at that moment, the police truck stopped and the agents opened the door which they see a small deserted back alley with one of the agents beckoning them to her location.
It was only when she saw the number of people coming in, she was a little shock as she knew that there was no way the agents ratio to one person could fit into the safehouse\'s room. Thus, she looked at her supervisor and all he did was to shake his head.
They had thought that if they were to use magical telepathy, these cultivators would not be able to listen a damn thing from them as they always inherently thought that the cultivators were inferior compared to magicians. Just like how Kraft felt that the warrior was of a lower level as compared to Farasha when it was not actually the case.
"Just keep them here for processing and get them some food. They will not run and even if they did…let them be. You are of no match to even a single one of them." The senior agent said so blatantly that the agent that was supposed to supervising them was stunned once more to receive such an order.
And the only time she broke out of that state was when the senior agent took out his wallet and handed her three hundred dollars in fifty euro bill notes.
"This is all I am carrying right now. If you need to add using your own money, just go ahead. I will get the HR department to reimburse you." The senior agent said and the female counterpart was extremely confused.
"Why are we not following protocol for holding these people?" The latter spoke in Italian to avoid being heard by the foxes.
"For one, they saved Italy in an extremely timely manner. They should be lauded as heroes and yet the entire force thinks that they are criminals. Just because they eliminated the threat quickly, and we do not see and feel the repercussions, we should take it as case closed?" The senior agent spoke and Kiyu could not help but to interject into the conversation.
"We do not need to be lauded as heroes. We are merely doing what humans should. To help. You scratch my back, I scratch yours" After which she followed the group up the stairs and into the safehouse.
Jin had not experienced a safehouse setting before and thought it would be well decorated like the movies. Sad for him and the group, the interior was extremely empty. There was a one room safehouse with only a chair and a bed but the curtains were of good quality. He believed that it was to keep the impression that the place was occupied.
"Guess we are sitting on the floor," Jin said as he sat down and felt a little tired. This was the first time he was able to experience fatigue. It was as if the use of void energy, or the creation of void energy had sapped his entire body\'s strength away despite the grade he was holding. But one thing was for sure. The words stress free was never in his mind before until now.
It was as if the creation of void energy was possible from all the pent up stress that he had been experiencing ever since he returned to his world from the simulated one in Synthesis World.
The amount of void energy spent had given him the feeling of tranquility just for a moment and he wondered if Farasha and Spartakus always feel that way until the ages passed and the pent up void energy had been stored for the longest time ever.
"Maybe they are just pent up fighters who knew that there was no way around the situation until they think that bullying little humans which they consistently saw above them might satisfy them. Only once that void energy had been expended, they will truly feel at peace." Jin thought to himself.
However, that feeling of tranquillity was undoubtedly fading away as the rest took their seats on the squeezy one room flat and started to pull their documents out of their storage rings. Thus, when the female agent who came up from the stairs to find all of them started to furiously type on their laptops, she was at a loss again.
She had to remember that she was not dealing with criminals that had allegedly caused dozens of agents and guards to fall unconscious but saviours of her nation from a disaster that may prove to be fatal without their intervention. She was struggling internally but orders were orders. Thus, with a quick sigh, she asked what they wished to eat.
"Just make it easy and get us something within that three hundred dollar budget. But don\'t spend it all, we do not know how long we are going to be erm…processed?" Jin spoke out for the group since he was the one tabling the meeting and not preparing the discussion.
"Ehh remember to get us lots of drinks as in to replenish fluids and quench thirst, not alcoholic ones." Jin said it in such a weird clumsy way as in his Italian accent that the female agent cracked a smile.
She understood what he was getting to and appreciated the conversation in Italian. However, what she did not know was that during that conversation, a certain somebody had already snuck out of the safehouse leaving a copy of himself in a corner, covering himself with the long coat that he always wears and also a blanket he stole from the bed to wrap around his head.
While his clone was able to talk and converse like a normal human being, Kraft had to handle that through telepathy. So, instead of wasting energy to do that, he makes the clone pretend that he had fallen asleep from all that fighting and ignores the rest.
Just as the female agent counted the number of people and closed the door, Rex had already begun the agenda of the meeting that they had been wanting to do so. "We actually wasted a lot of time in doing this particular endeavour. Have everyone settled their backlogs for the past two hours with your team members?"
"Its not that bad on my side. It was near clock out time when that Krafty bastard summoned me. I assumed everyone is the same?" Pei said and the rest nodded their heads except for Evon.
"I am not. Please give me some time to clear up a few issues between my team members first. You guys can go ahead with the meeting without me for now." Evon said as he went to another corner of the already cramped room and placed his earpiece on as well as a anti sound barrier. After which he was furiously scolding one of the team members based on his expression."
"Ahhh. Ahhh. I truly pity the team members under Evon." Kiyu said as she shook her head when she noticed that Evon never changed his ways from the past.
"Heh, that is why we ask Rex to get him the many stubborn people under him so that they could pit heads against each other and get them to recognise their flaws." Ixel said with a glee
"I don\'t think it works that way..." Itori replied.
"No, Ixel. I did not do that." Rex sound out to prove his innocence
"Let\'s just proceed without him first, okay? This respite of a joint meeting …We might never get again for the next few months" Pei reiterated to push everyone for the conversation.
