Chapter 2200: Submitting The Report |
Tang Shaoyang didn’t really know about the procedure for the Executive Administrator. Whether it was the right procedure or not, he didn’t plan to narrate the whole fight to these people.
He was not a fool to tell them how he killed Alderman. These people could analyze his skills, which could later be used against him.
"That’s my complete report."
He stored the head back into his inventory after finishing the report, "I have shown the proof, and I have submitted my report. If there’s nothing else, then I will take my leave."
"Wait!"
He turned toward the voice. The same person who reprimanded him about using his energy to levitate. He knew it was going to be annoying, considering his first interaction with this man.
"A newbie is a newbie, after all. We demand a complete report, not a half-assed report like that!"
Tang Shaoyang shrugged, "That’s the complete report."
At this moment, he received a reply from Ira. Ira was usually the one who handled the report when he took a mission with his team. Of course, he was not asking about how to write a report. He was asking her about the identity and appearance of each Executive Administrator.
The one who reprimanded him was Harmond Ashby. He skipped the affiliation for now. The dark-skinned man was Douma Diarmata. He finally recognized Andre, too. He was two seats away from Clementine’s right. A man who looked to be in his late twenties with short black hair and red eyes.
"Do you know that we can put a hold on your reward credits until you submit a proper report?" Harmond smirked, thinking he could get Tang Shaoyang to write the complete report.
Tang Shaoyang shrugged, "Do whatever you want. Since I am not getting paid for completing my mission, don’t ever expect me to take any mission either."
He found it was laughable that Harmond threatened with his reward. He didn’t really need the credits in a hurry, so he let them hold it. There was something else he must focus on right now: his two new classes. Until he fully developed his two new classes, he didn’t think of getting another class.
"It includes the part where I have to visit the Hurakan Kingdom for that stupid issue they raised."
Arion almost laughed again, but he was holding it back. The seriousness about Alderman completely disappeared. He admired how Tang Shaoyang had a talent for escalating a problem to a bigger problem. He responded to a threat with a bigger threat. The Hurakan Kingdom’s issue was quite big. Even someone like Andre wanted it to be resolved quickly.
"And as I said. I am very busy. I don’t have much time to discuss this kind of stupid thing. If there’s nothing else, then I will go."
Tang Shaoyang turned toward Arion and Clementine. He felt like he would get even more annoyed if he continued to talk with the other Executive Administrators. It was better to settle it with Arion and Clementine.
Arion just shrugged in response, indicating there was nothing else to talk about. If Tang Shaoyang refused to submit the complete report, there was nothing they could do about it.
He agreed to this suggestion because he wanted to know how the battle went. He was curious how Tang Shaoyang killed Alderman. There was no intention of analyzing Tang Shaoyang’s skill and power. Since Tang Shaoyang refused, there was nothing he could do. They were equal in status; they could enforce their authority over the fellow Executive Administrator.
Clementine said nothing as well, meaning there was nothing else to talk about. There was something, but she decided not to say it here. She could tell that Tang Shaoyang was getting even more annoyed. If this continued, a simple meeting could turn into a conflict. She didn’t doubt that Tang Shaoyang was capable of doing it.
"You can leave after you leave the Alderman’s body!"
Arion was surprised when he heard the request. The same for Clementine. Everyone in this room should be aware that Alderman’s body was a precious material for a Spirit Contractor. Yet someone asked Tang Shaoyang for the body.
Tang Shaoyang frowned and looked toward the voice. Another man with blue eyes and white hair. The man was extremely good-looking with a striking jawline.
A name quickly came into his mind, Loke Ponteus. He was known as the Devil’s descendant and part of the Dreadmarch Alliance. He knew it was another big shot alliance, given how much Ira emphasized the alliance in the profile. It seemed the Dreadmarch Alliance was another big shot like the Ancient Kingdom, for Ira to be this cautious.
"You don’t have to leave the body. It’s never in the procedure," Arion quickly interfered.
This was an entirely different issue, more than just a drama. The issue could directly lead to a conflict.
"Loke has an ability to extract the dead body’s inventory. What he wants is Alderman’s inventory, not the body. You two could figure it out yourself, or maybe make a deal," He offered a solution for Loke.
Loke Ponteus glanced toward Arion for a moment, then he looked toward Tang Shaoyang again, "As he said. I can offer you one Ancient Dragon’s egg and ten Wyvern King’s eggs for Alderman’s inventory."
Tang Shaoyang just chuckled and turned around. They really took him as a pushover. There was no way he would agree to the offer with that much. He might actually agree to split Alderman’s inventory fifty-fifty, but he was beyond annoyed with how these people treated him.
Who knew Alderman might have something that could make these people more powerful? He must not let that happen. It was clear that they would not hesitate to kill him. In fact, they were clearly finding a way to kill him by asking for that full report. It was better that no one could get what was inside Alderman’s inventory.
Tang Shaoyang then turned his back to them. Since there was nothing else to talk about, he would like to go back and proceed with his Spirit Summoning. He was hopeful for what he could summon with Alderman’s body.
"I will add one fire dragon bloodline!"
Loke Ponteus’s offer went up, and he added two more rare bloodlines. Tang Shaoyang didn’t budge with the offer. He opened the door and remembered something important that he had forgotten to include in his report.
He turned his head back and directly looked toward Harmond, who kept pestering him about the report, "Ah, I forgot to mention something in my report. I met Redmond..." He paused, realizing they might now know who Redmond was, "It’s the Corrupted Immortal Emperor’s new name."
As he expected, the nine Executive Administrators puzzled when he mentioned Redmond. However, the atmosphere turned one hundred and eighty degrees the moment the Corrupted Immortal Emperor was mentioned.
"I met the Corrupted Immortal Emperor right before I killed Alderman. It was brief, but I met him. That’s my report."
The door closed as he stepped out of the room. The moment he was out of the room, he left the Administrator, going back right to the Sacred Realm. It was time to hunt the Heavenly Beast.
*** ***
The gripping atmosphere filled the meeting room. The Corrupted Immortal Emperor was the Administrator’s stain. It happened back then when Andre and Clementine were still very active.
"So he changed his name to Redmond, huh?" Arion broke the silence, but no one responded to his nonsense.
"Call him back!" Andre finally spoke. Of course, he wanted Tang Shaoyang back right away.
It was not mentioned why Redmond was in the Sacred Realm. With how things went, it seemed Tang Shaoyang also didn’t fight the Corrupted Immortal Emperor. Redmond’s visit to the Sacred Realm must be investigated.
Of course, everyone in the room had a guess at why Redmond came to the Sacred. He most likely wanted to recruit Alderman into the Void Cult. They needed Tang Shaoyang to confirm it.
"I have tried, and it is impossible. Don’t expect him to return after your obvious attempt on him," Arion tried to call Tang Shaoyang back. Not only did he get a response, but he was blocked as the call didn’t go through.
"He blocked me." Clementine was also blocked. Tang Shaoyang figured out that Clementine would contact him, so he blocked all communication from the Executive Administrator.
"What are we going to do with him? He clearly doesn’t respect us!"
Harmond quickly shifted the topic to another direction. He hoped for Tang Shaoyang to be punished or something for this issue. At least, he tried to direct the conversation that way.
Arion was amused and let out a chuckle, "Respect is earned, not demanded. And there’s nothing we can do to him."
He shook his head, "How long have you been the Executive Administrator, Harmond. We are equal, so how are you going to punish him? Unless you are stupid enough to submit a report to System Avatar."
The only one who could send a judgment and punishment to the Executive Administrator was the System Avatar. Just like how Palmas was executed after altering with the Administrator’s Helper, Adam.
However, even if they made a report about Tang Shaoyang. The System Avatar would not come down for a slight matter like an incomplete mission report. In fact, the System Avatar might give Tang Shaoyang even more reward for killing Alderman, who killed his fellow Executive Administrator.
Andre was aware of that as well. He turned toward Arion, "Make sure to get the information about that traitor from him, Arion. We need to know why that traitor visited the Sacred Realm."
Andre then disappeared after saying that.
