“You know, being fashionably late is quite a last century kind of thing.” Kong Rong said when he met Jin at the front gates as the security officers who heard the Defence Minister’s orders already called off the warning.
“I did not expect the guards to not recognise me. I thought you know at least they know who their guests were considering this is supposed to be a place for Zodiac Heads to confer,” Jin shrugged his shoulders as if he had nothing to do with this. “Besides, if they had not stopped me, I would have arrived on time.”
“He is just purely irritated that he had to waste time in this stupid meeting.” Kraft yawned too as he took great pains to restrain himself from killing all these guards. “Perhaps you can include me too. I cannot believe I have to join this awfully boring situation. But hey, seeing you panic a little seems like there will be some fun.” Kraft added as he eyed the Dragon State Agent. “Is that Dragon Girl with you too?”
“No, Ryuli had some other business to attend to. Not all State Agents are as free as you thought.” Kong Rong said as someone passed ID tags to both Jin and Kraft. They looked like empty blank white cards but they had the necessary access needed to take the elevator.
“Meh, I thought she follows you almost everywhere you go when it comes to official business. You know, your little protege or something. Anyways, I have more things to complain about. Why do we have such boring plain cards while yours had your picture imprinted and looked so stylish? Kraft grumbled in the lift and Kong Rong could feel that this particular lift ride might take an eternity.
“Because you two are supposed to be booked in last night and not waltz through the defensive perimeter early in the morning when it was supposed to be swept clean of threats.”
“The PandaVerse Festival is proving to be more troublesome than I had expected. By the way, have you gotten my request about that Dungeon Supplier guy you guys caught? Would like to have a word with him if it’s not possible to release him.” Jin asked and Kraft smirked which caused Kong Rong to feel a bad chill running down his spine.o
“Kraft, no funny ideas of trying to get him to Jin like some prison break action movie.” Kong Rong commented and Kraft already started replying defensively with a laugh.
“I would never dare!” Kraft said and suddenly Kong Rong felt this might possibly be one of the few longest meetings in his life.
“I will see what I can do but currently, I have no excuses to allow you to even have access looking at him. Also, before you say anything, I know your abilities to turn enemies into allies but it would be best if you use that ability in that meeting because potentially everyone in there is all about to be very ‘friendly’ with you the moment you step in.” Kong Rong sighed as he side eyed Jin to see his reaction and yet the little Panda Lord was partially asleep just from standing in the lift.
“Unbelievable…” Kong Rong said to himself wondering if he made the right choice forcing Jin to come for this meeting. The lift door finally opened and as he was about to walk out of it, he suddenly clicked something was wrong. A quick turn of his head and he realised what was bugging him all this time.
“Wait a minute. Why are the two of you -wait never mind about you Kraft, your fashion sense is too edgy- cough. Jin, why are you in such casual wear?!” Kong Rong quickly pressed the ‘close’ button despite ushers waiting to receive them so they could escort the group to the conference hall. One of them even tried to press the lift button, thinking they had accidentally closed the lift doors but he immediately retracted his hand when he felt a ferocious aura emanating within the lift.
“Huh, What? I already wore a polo shirt and long pants. Not enough?” Jin replied to Kong Rong as he involuntarily yawned.
“Are you fucking kidding me right now?” Kong Rong said before using his thoughts to connect to the System. “System, I’m disappointed that you-“
“The suits are in their storage devices but they refused to wear them, citing the need to reach the place on time.” The System stated and Kong Rong felt like he is a father trying to take care of two kindergarten school kids. He instantly pressed the one level down and he sternly told them to follow him to the nearest corridor leading to a series of hotel rooms. Thankfully, one of the rooms was currently being cleaned and Kong Rong barged in, showing his conference badge that he needed to use the washroom for a moment with the other two with him.
The cleaner was stunned by their sudden forced entry and could only nod her head as Kong Rong kept shouting expletives at the both of them while they reluctantly changed to their suits. Both were wearing nothing significantly special, just a black suit and white shirt with matching leather shoes with a black tie. There was nothing screaming Panda Clan from the two of them but Kong Rong was already satisfied they were in their correct set of clothes.
He then dragged the two of them out unwillingly and back to the lift where Kraft had decided to bring out his long trusty coat… only to be confiscated by Kong Rong. Obviously, that reaction annoyed the Fox and he started to emit his aura, only to be met with the very same resistance from Kong Rong.
It was an understatement to say that their clashing aura could be felt by the entire Pinnacle Hotel as people on the ground floor in their defensive perimeter positions could also feel that menacing aura. If not for the Royal Zodiac Heads familiar with Kong Rong’s aura, they might have thought that there was an attack pending within the Hotel itself.
Still, the aura that was clashing against Kong Rong was something that perked up all the Heads, as they knew it was no ordinary high level cultivator that could produce such a chi aura.
“Just knock it off already…” Jin yawned as he went into the lift and now told the two to hurry up. “I have other things to settle after this.”
