"You seem to pick the easy way out huh, Master?" Kraft mentioned as he grinned widely upon hearing that Jin wanted him for this raid.
"Information gathering is your expertise, and you can kill without prejudice. Or can you recommend someone better suited for such a job? Besides, don"t you think you can keep from me that you have secretly been training your "Night Foxes" for such an event?" Jin asked as he took his phone out and showed some pictures which he had snapped.
"How did you get that picture?" Kraft let out a stifled chuckle but continued to stare at his master.
"I asked Zhi Nu for permission to redecorate the tavern after their party. I just happened to see all those weapons and training plans within the System"s records."
"You do know that saying "curiosity kills the cat", right?" Kraft asked as he leaned forward.
"Last I heard there is no update of the phrasing that showed that the Panda will die from being curious." Jin countered, and Kraft raised his eyebrow and then started laughing.
"Hmph! I was actually preparing them for something more glorious but considering it"s Big Brother"s city, and if it"s at the request of the Panda Master then fine, I shall entertain you all with a performance of my Night Foxes. Show you guys that they are a force that will put all commando teams to shame." Kraft boasted as if he was bringing them for a live firing demonstration exercise rather than a mission.
"My gosh, Brother Kraft, if you had such a force ready under you, I would not have involved Boss Jin in such a simple task," Rex remarked shaking his head.
"Wasn"t it you who allowed me to probe at everyone"s stuff without any need to report to you? This is, unfortunately, your loss Brother Rex as you never asked me and his win to reveal a hand. You have to acknowledge that at least he played his cards decent enough. Like I said, I was keeping this a secret until Jin was seriously in need of a rescue. That way he could owe me one." Kraft replied with a shrug.
"Well, you can still make him owe you one." Rex wondered what was stopping Kraft to do that.
"Nah, I did technically left him out to die in the previous battle against the Loompa Ooofpa. Pei was seriously angry so I will let this request slide." Kraft spoke not for Jin"s sake, but rather to appease Pei who had diligently tried her best to save Jin with all her might. The Dungeon Supplier might not see it, but everyone else knew how worried she was to keep their master alive.
Jin could vaguely read the atmosphere and decided to close the issue on that by telling Kraft he had that three weeks to do any last minute preparations for his Night Foxes.
"Wow, three whole weeks. I honestly thought that you would want me to raid them right now. Even better. This way, I can a.s.sure you that the Night Foxes will perform the cleanest extermination of those vermins any of you have ever seen." Kraft added a thumbs up as Jin continued to the next issue.
"Thank you, so aside from the Mafia problem, how are the other stuff going forth?" Jin queried knowing the Foxes themselves had taken major positions of the city. Rex had made them do so because he wanted them to revise their leaders.h.i.+p before they gave it back to the demons.
"Once we clear the ones making trouble, we are ready to remove the slums and place those prefabricated buildings created by Qiu Yue. She has also promised to a.s.sist us in revamping the city blueprint." Tsu shared, and Qiu Yue nodded her head in agreement. Both the Red Panda Tactician and the Wolf Twin Bellators knowingly used this opportunity to utilise each other"s strengths. Qiu Yue would be trained by Tsu and Kai while the Wolf Bellators would take the chance to improve the Demopolis.
"Once that is done, we shall begin using the Orc Construction Crew to rebuild the roads and subsequently the infrastructure too. Although we have also considered the possibility of using the Pandapolis as a temporary shelter for them to stay until we fully revamp Demopolis for it to be like a second Pandapolis." Ixa said, and Jin thought that sounded like quite a refres.h.i.+ng idea.
"So, instead of opening Pandapolis, we use Pandapolis as a training centre? A temporary shelter and possibly a conversion camp or well in this case a conversion city while we capture other cities?" Jin joked but Ixa nodded her head.
"That was what Itori and I had been thinking. That way, we can monitor each and every one of them, and if there are any detractors like any spies hidden there which belonged to the criminal organisations or agents from the Church of the Afterlife, we are able to have an upper hand." Ixa added.
"Not to mention, taking control of those agents and feeding them with fake information while we procure theirs," Itori interjected her opinion.
"Obviously, conversion wise - for the lack of a better word right now, we can influence them the ways of how we work in Pandapolis. Influencing them with our current quality of life will undoubtedly make them automatic slaves under our systems." Rex explained.
"You mean, just one System." Ixel pointed out, and the rest chuckled a little.
"But in the long run, we will not be able to stop the infiltration of the Church Agents. They might haunt us even more. Are we going to create a secret police or something along those lines to stop them?" General Nubwort said and was waiting for the big wigs like Rex or Jin to comment but Ayse interrupted before any of those two could speak.
"Master! Master! You know, when I thought about this Church of the Afterlife. I had a rather radical idea in mind if you allow me to say it out."
"Shoot." Jin gave her the attention needed.
"Why don"t we create our own "religion" to counter theirs?" Just one line alone from Ayse had already enabled the entire group to start to think about the possibilities of such an idea.
They had the System which worked exactly in the same way as the Church of the Afterlife. Being the only company that had a monopoly on the resurrection business, its prices had become inflated, and its power could be overbearing for some. Sure, there might be some who might be trained in resurrection magic, but they could never do something large scale like the Church of the Afterlife.
The fact that Kraft and Kiyu had found out that they were wary about the new powers from Jin"s faction showed that the Church wanted to stay at the top by whatever means necessary. If a new rising power would come to contest such a superpower, it might also mean there was a large piece of the cake to take from the business and ultimately the consumers would momentarily benefit from the compet.i.tion.
"Hahahahahahah! How could I have not thought of this before!" Jin wondered to himself as he laughed till he lied down from his sitting position.
