Number One Dungeon Supplier

Chapter 551 Body Bag

"Well done…I actually did not expect you to find him that fast." Jin praised his bellator with much respect for his abilities. After all, he had instructed Zeru only hours ago and to show up with the results by dinner was somewhat too efficient even for Jin. Unfortunately, Zeru didn't speak of visiting his wife's grave but instead focused on how he found the mangaka artist.

"Neither did I. The System was able to vaguely pinpoint the mangaka's favourite places via his Tweeter Account, and it was a huge coincidence that I found him exiting the animation company he was collaborating with."

"I wasn't sure at first, so I bumped into him when he had his phone out and helped him pick it up. The System was able to infiltrate his phone within an instant the moment I insert a USB drive in it." All the Sword Saint needed was less than a second to connect and disconnect it, which was more than enough time for the System to run interference.

"System managed to correlate the information on his Tweeter account and the one used on the target's phone, ensuring that the person was the correct target." The System stated.

"Yet, System was unable to find anything in his phone that had information pertaining to the Mecha World."

"Thus, I shadowed him for a while. He seemed to be in a hurry after getting his phone. I was sure that given time, there would be an opportunity to at least have a conversation with Rei." Zeru finished filling his plate with food and began eating.

"Kraft's here now." Qiu Yue pointed at an annoyed Kraft who disliked being called out.

"Oh, come on. You want me to work while eating's Lynn food? You must be crazy! I do not want to be beaten by her for not appreciating her food." Kraft gave a lame excuse, but it at least made Lynn pleased.

"Since when was the guy such a foodie?" Jin wondered to himself before Kraft's eyes turned to him.

"You try living in a shithole for who knows how many years without access to food, and we will see how you turn out. Especially if you have a star chef making it for you. Also, you really should keep up with your training, Pei has been complaining that you've been slacking and I see that she's right!"

"I don't think Zeru is done with his story. He said he stalked the guy, but that does not really explain how he ended up in a body bag. It should have been easy enough to knock him out and transport him without...you know that body bag. So, there must be more to it." Peppers deduced, and everyone looked at the Sword Saint.

"Indeed. I've rescued him from the Yakuzas." With his mouth empty, he made a comment and proceed to continue eating.

"Arggh!! Don't keep us hanging! It won't hurt to talk a little while eating!" Milk was slightly frustrated by the pausing Zeru did, and he chuckled a little while chewing his food.

"Did you manage to see which Yakuza group that did it?" Lynn, who had had her fair share of encountering the Yakuzas was curious to know more about the culprit. However, Zeru shook his head as he swallowed his food.

"I only saw a partial tattoo at the neck of their ring leader when I intervened. It was a Skull biting on a gold coin." Zeru replied, and Lynn pondered for a moment while Zeru began from the top on how Rei got into the body bag.

"Even though it was an open space, there was only him and me in the street after 'accidentally' bumping to him. So when the action ensued, the kidnappers seemed to make sure that I was somewhat out of sight before they rushed the van in and grabbed him." Zeru said as he took a sip of water.

"But hearing the ruckus and seeing how the incident unfolds, I quietly followed behind them, hoping to learn more about the situation. But instead of the gangster's hideout, they brought him to an abandoned garage. I believed it was a holding place for interrogations." Zeru shared and told them that was also the time when the System informed him that Jin decided to come for dinner.

"So I figured I get some local delicacy before assaulting the place since Rei would not be going anywhere else for some time." Zeru then picked a takoyaki ball from the table and began to chew. Everyone immediately inferred that the Sword Saint went to buy desserts and returned to bash the Yakuzas up before grabbing Rei.

"Ah~! It could be the Clan Fukurouju. Considering that particular Lucky God deals with wealth and necromancy. Plus, they love to put people into their debt for favours." Lynn suddenly remembered what those tattoos could mean, but Zeru shrugged his shoulders. He knew that he only intervene to save the artist's life, and it had to be done as quickly as possible to prevent them from calling reinforcements. (As well as keeping his identity secret.)

"We could ask him more when he wakes up. If it has to do with money, then I guess he must have been lucky that we intervened for him before the situation got worse." Jin said as he looked back for a moment and continued eating. The mangaka artist was soundly asleep after being knocked unconscious by Zeru.

"Nah, keep him asleep, that way I can do my stuff after my meal," Kraft added when the table incidentally shifted their attention to him.

"You talked about Drows. How are the Dark Elves aiding you there? And how's the Dungeon Cave going so far? Anyone finally defeated Dungeon Cave Level 10" The dungeon supplier asked even though the System could have provided the answer to him. Just as Kraft was about to speak, Yun entered the house via a portal right at the moment too.

"Ah! Yun!" Lynn suddenly stood up and went to the kitchen to pick a plate up. "I kept the best ones for you," Lynn said, and the dish was indeed filled with the juiciest of drumsticks that made Peppers envious.

Very envious.

The little Demonic Sage Queen was going to whine about it, but Milk immediately shafted a piece of meat into her mouth to keep her quiet.

"Sorry for coming in late, the shopfront had some meddlesome customers. Took care of them and I don't wish to talk about it. Continue with what you guys were saying. I am already up to date from the System's logs." Yun said in a slightly annoyed manner, and everyone understood that it would be best to let her eat and chill rather than ask about the incident.

"Alright, fine. My turn, right?" Kraft leaned forward, and his usual smirk face was showing.
