Chapter 1886 Kong Rong's Approval

?

"Grandma Yuan. I know that we share the responsibility but…"

"It's okay, Jin. I will take over from here. We know you did your part," Claire knew that Jin was conflicted by Grandma Yuan's sighing and decided to intervene to take over the workload. After all, it was really not Jin's job to all of those when they wanted the school to be up.

"Alright, if Claire is taking up that workload, there is nothing much to talk about." Grandma Yuan said and ended the conversation there and then.

"Wow, rude." Jin said and figured it must be her passive aggressiveness on overdrive since Jin had disappointed her twice in a row for not allowing her 'favourite' Demon Exorcists to shine in an overseas operation and rather gave it to a lesser known student instead. "Hey, at least it's still her student. What's so bad about Lian? Maybe I should spite her and bring Rong too. He did pretty decent for the Dark Days Dungeon." Jin smirked as he proceeded to ask Ryuli if she was done with her trial techniques.

"Yeah. I managed to get three Water Dragons before I got tired. And you seemed rather serious over the phone just now. Anything important?"

"Mmhmm. There is a Joint Demon Exorcist operation between Italy and China. I was being requested by the Head of Italy's Demon Exorcists Organisation so I do not really have much choice but to oblige. Want to come?"

"Demon Exorcism? Not my area of expertise even though I know had been known to kill Demons on a regular basis as part of my job when the Demon Exorcists are late." Ryuli seemed to have a grudge against them.

"It might be related to the Banned Emperor Terrorists. If I am not wrong, Kong Rong had some hand in making this joint operation possible."

"Okay, sure. When is it? I currently do not have any extermination requests assigned to me nor any major case." Ryuli asked and Jin was laughing on the inside. He never knew that she hated the Banned Emperor Terrorists so much.

"Question, you do hate those Banned Emperor peeps a lot, eh?"

"Their numbers are growing for some reason and the more we subdued, the more we found out there are so many things that were hidden so carefully that if we did not thwart them in time, the public security might be at high risk."

"Devotion to the job is one thing, do not make it an obsession," Jin remarked and Ryuli snickered. "Tomorrow's the flight. Want to have a group call with Kong Rong and see if he has any information about it?"

"I do not see a problem with it and I like to know how this System Chat works." Ryuli had decided to take the initiative to try out the System Chat and it was like moving using her thoughts when there was nothing to guide.

Soon, Kong Rong emerged in their heads as voiceover only and Ryuli asked for permission as a sort of courtesy even though she believed her boss did not require it. "Yeah, I am fine with it you can bring Agent L, I erm mean Ryuli to Italy. They have done a favour for me so it will be wise if we join and return the favour for them before the debt gets worse." Kong Rong replied positively.

"Anything we should take note of?" Jin asked citing that he only knew they were going to be there in case Wang Liangs had been used to distract or cover the suspects' tracks.

"Not really. And with that said, most of these are high probability suspects. The police are merely going there armed in case of emergencies but if things go smoothly there should not be any action." Kong Rong said. "Besides, the Italian Intelligence had been monitoring them for some time too though their resources were recently stretched thin for some reason and could not keep a watchful eye on all of them for that long."

"Since when do things go smoothly, especially during large joint raids like this?" Ryuli asked and Kong Rong was speechless because the dragon girl was absolutely right.

"I should have a safe house in Rome and will give you the coordinates to that in case any of you need to restock or things or have a break."

"You mean when shit hits the fan."

"C'mon, Ryuli. You don't have to make it so obvious that I am merely preparing for alternate situations." Kong Rong said and Ryuli shook her head. For some reason, Jin could see a difference when she was talking to her work boss as compared to her 'store' boss.

"Regardless, stay safe and give me a call if things really went awfully awry that you need assistance from abroad. Now that one of our internal security agents is participating this as a 'Demon Exorcist', the Agency has every right to support you in this operation." Kong Rong said and the two thanked the Dragon Leader.

"Alright, I shall continue my training properly in the …Panda Muscles Instance, right? Probably work on my techniques a little while longer since for some reason, my chi regeneration got better after trying out new stuff. Give me the details once it has been sorted out." Ryuli said and Jin thanked her.

In the meantime, Jin notified Lian about the joint operation and surprisingly she did not reject it at all. Instead, she only asked when's the departure date. "Claire will sort out the tickets and we will be flying by tomorrow. The Joint operation details have not been released to us either and we will should know more once we get there."

"Then I will do a bit of training as well before we depart for tomorrow." Lian thanked Jin and the Dungeon Supplier felt a little left out.

"Should I go for training as well?" He asked the System and yet all the System said was to finish up the rest of the dungeon instances he had left hanging instead.
