Number One Dungeon Supplier

Chapter 1982: Wrongful Detainment

"That is fine by me. We have a lot on our plate as well, " Rex noted and knew that even if they wished to have a functional city with modern facilities such as transportation, education, healthcare and other privileges, the Fox understood that the nature of this world was to build, destroy and build again.

Whether the chicken comes first or the egg comes first, it was a question that could never be answered and it would take an eternity for people to figure it out. That was why Rex could emphasise more on the defending portion until Jin felt that it was ready to go for an all out attack as Kraft had theorised.

Still, it was precisely because it was just a theory, that Rex also believed it was not worth the risk to send an offensive force until they were truly ready. Besides, raising Pandapolis's growth was a long term investment and being able to have enemies coming to their city might actually be better than going to theirs.

Sure, there would be a waste of resources but as Kraft had said, every effort made comes with the equal value of reward. Defeating the soldiers would still bring in some income because their death results in extra points from the city's Dungeon Core. At the end of the month, there would be reimbursements that could outweigh the expenses incurred as long as they manage it effectively.

That was where science came into play.

If one single artillery strike can kill a dozen soldiers, the price of making that mass produced artillery shell might be covered, and there would be profit. Not to mention, when science and magic combined together. Put enough volatile magic into an empty metal ball filled with scraps of iron pieces and hurl it to the enemies, the cost savings would be immense.

So, sometimes, having cheap despicable solutions could be the way of winning this kind of long war of attrition. At that time, when they were about to finish up the conversation, there was a knock on the door, and there came the agent along with his colleagues. Even with a small safe house, they tried to surround the room with the numbers that they had.

"I apologise, there is nothing much to buy considering how the place is still in a little havoc. But I managed to get some fresh bread. However, we will also be sending you to the airport." The agent said and some of the agents started to manhandle them a little with cuffs which incited the Foxes to be a little more resistive to such an act.

"What is with all the cuffs again?"

"I apologise, but this is really no longer my judication. These are part of the immigration authorities. I took some time to convince them to give you the bread too." The agent said regrettably and Jin reminded them not to resist. After all, they did break the law for coming in unattended.

From Jin's understanding, these authorities had no idea that Jin and the Foxes had saved their people and assumed that they were some sort of illegal immigrants who were meant to be deported back to the country. Considering how messy communications could be, they might not have known that the service the Foxes and Jin had done for their country.

Still, the Foxes were a little pissed that they were handled with some brute force and there was also some shouting as well from the immigration agents as well. They were soon brought from the safe house and to the closest possible airport…or so they thought until they found that they were brought to some sort of detention centre within the airport where there were even more closed doors and bars.

It was not the nicest of feeling but the rest begrudgingly followed them until to the point where they were ordered to do processing.

"Wait, processing? What are we criminals now?" It was at this point Ixel felt that a little more pissed off.

"We need to process you before we can deport all of you back." The immigration police agent said with a non caring face.

"You do know that I can break these chains and sever your neck from your body?" Ixel asked and that was where the surrounding agents went straight for their tasers. "Har? Do you think those tasers can do shit to me? To us?"

"Ixel. Enough." Rex commanded and Ixel immediately kept his mouth shut while staring at the immigration agents.

"My good Sirs, we will not proceed with the processing. I suggest that you ask your higher ups for proper instructions. Otherwise, there will be possible ramifications in mishandling this politically dedicated situation." Jin spoke out at the end of the room while chained to the chair.

"Har?! What the fuck are you talking? Do you think you are in a position to talk?" One of the agents said. "If you have not noticed, you are in a room where no chi or magic can be allowed. Not to mention, those cuffs you are all in are dampeners that will not allow even a Grade 18 to activate their chi."

"Oh really?" Kraft smiled and in an instant, all of the Foxes released their chi simultaneously that choking the immigration agents down to the ground. There was no mercy in their chi and surprisingly even Rex participated. "Oh really?"

The agents who were at least grade 10 and above could not believe the situation, their chi was overwhelming and all they could do was struggle to take a breath to continue living. It was impossible, how were these people were able to express this amount of chi despite the room and dampeners that they wore?

Even a certified grade 19 had difficulty trying to cope the situation and it had been certified to work.

Yet, these group of humans were able to overpower it so easily and not just that, the auras were enough to suffocate them. They were not even at the stage of displaying their techniques at all. When the security cameras saw the situation, a high alert was sounded out but as more people came to intervene in the situation, they were instantly in the same situation as the agents in the room.

If that was not a show of power, eventually, the entire group was able to force the aura to encase the entire detention centre. All agents and other retainees were all suffocating at the same pace and the Foxes were still sitting at their seats, not moving a single inch.

It was only a minute later they released the aura and the agents within the room were all coughing for air. "So, do you think I am in a position to talk now?" Kraft asked and the agents gritted their teeth as they tried to call their superiors. It did not take long for the superiors to reply and the chief immigration agent for the detention centre came down personally to the room they were in.

The moment he walked into the room, he immediately demanded the cuffs to be removed and subsequently knelt down and begged for the group's forgiveness. "Please excuse the ignorance my agents had displayed. Information was not disseminated properly. We not only wrong the saviours of Rome but also chained them."

That was when the agents who were in the room felt a little confused and the Chief immediately gave the TLDR. "They were the ones who created that huge dimensional instance and saved thousands of citizens and yet we treated them as downright criminals."

And Kraft being the asshole, as usual, asked the same question once more.

"So, do you think I -nah WE are in a position to talk now?"

The agents did not know how to apologise except to put their heads down. "More like, can we have our bread? You confiscated them, right? Don't tell me you already gave it to your people?" Pei questioned and a few of the agents panicked a little. It looked like Pei was spot on and she sighed.

"Fine, so? Do we still need to processing?" Pei questioned them and the Chief shook his head.

"My agents will escort you to the airport terminal proper. I will take responsibility and ask for the airport hotel to provide you all some form of accommodation while we settle your paperwork for all of you." The Chief said and Jin stood up.

"Do not bother. We have wasted enough time here. We will create a portal and leave from here. Is that fine with you?" Jin asked and the Chief knew that portals were considered illegal if there were no proper issuance of certification. But considering that they had come to Italy to save their country via a portal, there should be no problem if they left here.

Still, if the top government officials were to know about their conduct, even the Chief might have a problem answering… worst case scenario? He will lose his job."

"I… am sorry. I cannot allow you to do that. Please respect the proper immigration process. We will try to expedite as quickly as possible for you." Chief once again knelt and asked for forgiveness.
