Number One Dungeon Supplier
chapter-1852

"You looked like shit," Jin said as he saw Lian lying on the floor after the entire fiasco was over for now. "Any more dimensional tears around?"

"Do not seem like it. Unless you are expecting me to turn my sensor for the entire of Rome." Lian said sarcastically as Jin gave her a hand to get up.

"You managed to close the tear?" Diego asked and Jin nodded his head.

"If you want, you get to return to where I was and give it a check. After all, this is your country, won't expect you to trust any foreigners to take care of your backyard." Jin said as Lian was a little wobbly and accidentally fell into his chest.

"Gah, so tired." Lian could barely stand and Diego chuckled.

"Do you wish to stay a little longer before heading back? I can prepare accommodations for both of you… Where are the rest? I assumed there was a larger group that came with you. Erm ..Su Zhen was it and Lein."

"Not enough flight tickets," Jin said as he looked at the time. "It's okay, we have a flight to catch back."

"Are you sure you are not staying for the investigation or any subsequent tears?"

"Seeing how you fight already proved to me that you knew what to do if there were subsequent tears. But I doubt there are that many Wang Liangs flying about. When I fought at my location, there were none left emerging out from tear."

"Same here," Lian said and Diego nodded his head.

"Looks like I worried for nothing but as you said, I will start an investigation and see if they are as you had suspected." Diego thanked Jin and Lian once more and told them he would handle with the police that Lian was dealing previously.

And thus, the duo walked into an alley, ensuring that no one else was looking to take a portal back to the System's embrace. They returned to the entrance of Amber Arbour where an otter greeted them. "Urgh, what time is it right now?" Lian asked and Jin looked at his watch.

"About 12 noon?"

"Why do I have the feeling of jet lag when there's no jet involved."

"It's probably the mixture of your saviour's chi and my Maqi inside you. There might be residues still circulating within you which you probably need to A) digest them all, or B) excrete them all."

"Does that mean I can have a fight with you?"

"Why does everyone want a fight with me? How about I treat you to some lunch and you go back home to have some proper sleep?"

"It's rare to see you and challenging you would push us to the limits since you are obviously the stronger one among us four despite your claim that you are a Grade 4 cultivator. Like who will believe you are a Grade 4 cultivator." Lian complained.

"Oh, you guys are back. How did it go?" Lynn asked and realised to see Lian was being supported by Jin, already half dead.

"Do you mind reserving two seats for us? This lady here despite her state wants to challenge me for a fight. She had some bloated chi and needed to expel all of it to feel better."

"Ah. Symptoms of excessive chi. I can prepare soup and food that could help quench the aftereffects so she does not feel terrible the next day."

"I would like that very much, thank you, Lynn. You are a saint compared to this diabolical boss that I am working for."

"I know right? He expects too many things from people." Lynn asked the otter to get their own concoction of anti fatigue potion from the kitchen to let Lian feel better. Upon drinking the potion, she could already feel the effects of the potion working, making it stronger than any coffee she had ever drank before.

"I am guessing you still want the fight?" Jin asked and Lian nodded her head as they both pretended to use their phones and teleported into an empty training instance.

"Would you prefer unarmed combat or I can use my weapons."

"By all means use them. If it is a lethal blow predicted by the System, it would create a barrier instantly in front of us to prevent us from killing each other. So, you can go all out. Besides, if anything really major comes about, you will be resurrected by the System since you and the other Exorcists are considered our full time employees."

"Yeah, about that. Ever consider a raise for me?" Lian asked as she did some stretching.

"For? I don't see anything that you had done that deserved a raise. If it is about last night's task, all I can give you is probably some overtime pay."

"Damn, and here I thought I can try to put up a bet that if I can last like 10 seconds against you, I might be able to get a raise or something."

"Lol. You are many years too early for that. Besides, if I really allow that. All of my monsters would want to fight with me again. So nope, I cannot set precedence."

"Then how about if I last 10 seconds against you, you give me one month's worth of bonus?" Lian teased as she was ready to get into her stance.

"More like if you can withstand one blow from me, I will give you one month's worth of bonus." Jin joked and Lian stood there for a moment to consider it.

"No. No. my strength is too much even for you." I was merely joking.

"Please." Lian suddenly bowed. "I need to know the power gap between you and the others. If I keep chasing after Su Zhen or Lein, I will never improve as much."

"Why the sudden change in attitude when it comes to me?"

"Because after sparring with you months ago, I felt that you are an entity that deserved to stand at the very top. How can you have an employee that is not competent to be under the top person in the world?" Lian asked.
