The Strange Adventure of a Broke Mercenary Chapter 1547

Chapter 1278: Kraft's Report

It was indeed a quick visit to the Ministry of Defence Office as He Fei had been bombarded with schedules and meeting agendas the moment he arrived at its front door. In fact, he almost had forgotten about the two visitors he brought along with him and told them that even though they had decided to ask for recommendation letters, it would take some time for him to call upon those favours and to produce said letters.

However, he was not willing to let them go empty handed and told his secretary to get the letter that was initially prepared for them. But as much as he wished to personally present them the letter of appreciation (with a cheque included), He Fei had already wasted too much time on the initial Royal Zodiac Meeting and the Panda Clan had no choice but to miss such an opportunity. (Kraft would surely want another handshake.)

As they were led out of the office, the secretary queried whether they would like to have a taxi booked on their behalf for them to return to the hotel. However, Jin politely declined and said that they would like to have a quick bite at the surrounding area before returning back. The secretary acknowledged their reply and returned to aid He Fei with his list of never ending tasks.

As they walked away from the office, Jin sent a telepathic message via the System Channel since their most secured channel despite being near one of the few safest places in the country. There were guards posted around the ‘office’ (Which is technically a building by itself) with a multilayer security system watching movements through high definition CCTV cameras and even had them scanned so that their identities would pop right out on their own system.

Fortunately, the System had already registered Kraft under the alias of Ke La Fu, and created an entire history full of fake data so that their systems could not detect anything abnormal with regards to Kraft unless they had decided to personally investigate his past. Else, the Devil Fox had an extremely clean record with a high amount of social points which would allow him to let him do whatever he wanted. (Almost everything…)

Jin was also afraid there were listening devices or hidden inscription charms which could listen in to their conversation and thus the communication through the System Channel without any worries that they could be found out.

“What did you learn about that guy that you had to shake his hand multiple times?”

“To confirm my fears.” Kraft looked around to take in the sights and learn more about the office’s surroundings. “Unfortunately for you, he is part of the Banned Emperor group. A high ranking undercover agent within their own organisation. We do not need any Flower City shit, the guy is right under our noses.” 

“You are kidding, right? You usually would go one big round around the bush before telling me the answer. And now, Kraft is giving me straight in the face?” Jin said as he tried to keep calm. Perhaps he should take the taxi ride instead of looking for food.

“Hmm? I thought you had your suspicions, that’s why you decided to look around the Ministry of Defence Office so you might have a better idea in case we would like to infiltrate it.” Kraft turned to Jin for a moment before looking back straight ahead to an outdoor cafeteria.

“Let me gather my thoughts for a moment,” Kraft said in a serious tone as Jin ordered a Vanilla Milkshake for Kraft and a plain coffee for himself. They sat near the streets and quietly consumed their beverages.

“Any of the Zodiac Heads are in cahoots with him?” Jin asked and Kraft let out a rather quiet chuckle while sipping his milkshake. 

“Have you forgotten that the eradication of the Royal Zodiac Clans is one of the few reasons why the Banned Emperor still exists up till now?” Kraft said in the System Channel as he happily enjoyed the thick vanilla cream in his drink. “And you too know that all high ranking official government posts must have not any affiliations with the Royal Zodiac Clans to remain partial to all. If one wants to join, they have to renounce all ties before doing so.” 

“I doubt that vow will stop them from having connections with the Royal Zodiac Clans,” Jin said as he looked around, staring aimlessly at the public streets. “Anyways, System are you able to pull up some ‘official’ details on him? To see whether his data had been doctored like how you did for Kraft.” 

“Oh yea, This guy might not look like it but he is actually a fucking sadist. He had plans to pull this entire country into the ground and burn it to kingdom come. This retaliation plan which they talked about is just the preparation to sacrifice a few regions to bring more Void Beings into this world. You have trouble with one, imagine a dozen more.” Kraft interrupted Jin’s request. “But what you have now is time…although I wonder how Zeru would be to know that there would be more terrorists trying to find him since you mentioned about the Lost Flower City to everyone in the meeting. Perhaps that would be a more pertinent issue than the destruction of the entire country.”

“And here we thought, the conspiracy lies with the Royal Zodiac Heads instead. Damn it…all I wanted is to open a fucking shop and subsequently be rich enough to have an easy retirement. Not play some hero bullshit.” Jin sighed as he gulped the hot coffee right through to ease his stress headaches.

“You are already playing one in many other worlds, time to be a proper one in your own world,” Kraft said but Jin returned his remarks with dagger eyes and a subtle middle finger while drinking his cup of coffee. 

“Regardless, the System recommends User to clear his PandaVerse Festival and use that platform to gain a few more allies. As Original Bellator Kraft had said, User has time to thwart the Banned Emperor’s plans.” The System said and Jin could quietly nod his head while the both of them continued to exchange information as they walked away from the perimeter of the Defence Minister’s office into somewhere more secluded before teleporting away.
