1046 Scumbag Boss!
Landon looked at the scene and didn't know whether to laugh at these idiots or give Josh an Oscar for best performance.
What bloody Eyes of Horus?
What Hamunaptra?
He only allowed them to read the manuscript for the mummy, and this guy had given the enemy the entire movie.
Please, the city of the dead didn't exist in this world.
Or... Did it?
Well, he didn't know all the cultures yet. So maybe it did?
Anyway, he just hoped that there wouldn't be some civilization out there that would get brutally murdered because of this scene.
Hopefully, he would release the movie before any tragic events, or the blood of the innocent would be on him.
That said, he did plan to release the mummy sometime next Summer or Fall.
After all, they were still building the set, and the actors had just been auditioned.
So it wasn't ready yet.
After listening to the conversation between Josh, and the others in the room, Landon realized he now had the name for the famous organization that Nopline was in.
How did he know it was the one? Because one of the men said that it was the most influential and powerful organization involving all the monarchs in Morgany.
To put it simply, they wanted to know whether their Order was stronger or weaker when compared to the Eyes of Horus.
Of course, they whispered these things in private, but with his monitors, he could hear everything they said.
The famous Painter guy said that Alec was an average member of the strongest organization in Morgany.
And again, they found evidence in Nopline's estates proving that he was a member of some organization in Morgany.
Maybe he was wrong, but all evidence pointed that this was the organization they were talking about.
Landon squinted his eyes calmly.
The Order of Extraordinary Power... Interesting.
.
Landon listened more until he felt like he had gathered enough material.
First, he knew whether they were heading and knew that these pirates had docked their ships.
Alright. He had just 4 and a half days to speedily get to the Coastal town and save Josh.
He was also curious about the 'Boy' they kept mentioning.
Who was he?
And why did an entire organization forget just to capture him?
~Ding.
[Side Mission: Rescue The Boy named Renkin, future Monarch of the Morg empire of Abian.
Reward: Keeping your life
Punishment: Death.
Oh, and the host should be fast and get back early so that he can sail towards Zalipnia fast.
The host has to get there within the safe-window guaranteed by fate.
Or else it would be too late, and the hiding Zalipnians would get discovered and killed.
And by then, the host will also join them in death.]
'_'
Landon looked at his new mission and truly wanted to shed tears.
Death! Death! Death!
That's all this bloody system ever talked about?
The number of times his life has been threatened was too many for him to count.
'System, this can't be a coincidence!
I'm leaving in a week and 5 days from now.
So why didn't you tell me sooner?
You're definitely doing it on purpose!!'
[Host. We've been through this a hundred times now.
Aren't you tired yet?
Host... Has anyone ever told you that you're a long-winded person?]
(>-_-)
Long-winded?
Him, long-winded?
Who wouldn't become long-winded when they had such a system by their sides?
Here he was, thinking that he would be able to spend his remaining days in peace with his lovely fiance and his family.
But as fate would have it, he could be out the entire remaining days.
And would only come back to Baymard the day or night before he left Pyno.
Dammit!
He should've seen it coming.
He thought he had already tied up all loose ends.
But now, it seemed like he underestimated the system's randomness.
Should he even call it randomness?
No! His system was shameless!
.
Landon gritted his teeth unwillingly: 'System, so you're saying that you didn't know about the bit named Renkin?'
[Host, this system knew of him.]
'Ah-hah! So you admit it!
You admit that you knew of him and stayed quiet!'
[Yes. But it wasn't this system's fault. There was an error somewhere in the heavenly matrix.]
'Error my foot! You did it on purpose!'
[Host, why are you so long-winded?
Don't they say that to err is human, to forgive is divine?]
Landon laughed angrily, trying to control his facial expressions as hard as he could.
'Yes. To err is human and to forgive is divine.
But YOU'RE NOT HUMAN, so this doesn't apply to you!'
[Host... Host...I seem to be breaking up.
Host... There seems to be a connectivity problem.]
'What are you now? The internet?' Landon felt like bashing his head to a wall and just dying.
Wasn't this the oldest trick in the book when you don't want to talk with someone?
To think that the system, an all-powerful being, would play this card against him.
Heheheheheh!
The muscles against Landon's jaws seized as it took all his restraint not to lash out on rage.
'System, don't you dare run away! You hear me?
Don't you dare run away!
Stay there and face me like a heavenly being!'
[Host... Host... Ho....Ho...
Goodbye bye Host.]
'Damn you! Damn You!!!!'
.
Lucia, who was seated by Landon, was surprised by his murderous aura seeping out.
"Brother Landon, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah!"
Landon calmed down and couldn't go cursing the damn system in his mind.
"No. I was just thinking of all the terrible things I've heard about those people from the Temple of Adonis."
Lucia looked at Landon and couldn't help feeling touched.
Coincidentally, one of the documents in his hands was about Adonis.
He, Lucia and the rest were on their way to meet up with a few military personnel to finalize their plan of action.
So this lie was very plausible.
Seeing him like this, Andrew and Javis also grew upset thinking of those bastards from Adonis after their people and their land.
"Brother Landon, it's okay. With your help, I'm sure our people will be safe."
They felt like Landon was more anxious than they were.
Which showed how kind, caring and selfless he was.
Landon coughed awkwardly and nodded in agreement after seeing the sincere gazes of gratitude from everyone.
Well, why did he now feel like a bastard?
Sigh... He could only blame his outburst earlier on the system.
What a scumbag!
Anyway, for this new side-mission, Landon had decided to use the big guns.
Yes.
He was talking about the Shaolin Sector.
