Chapter 266: Episode 24.7 Ominous Pattern
The atmosphere is almost boiling in the Hunter Association’s headquarters.
"Ten dungeons are reportedly showing abnormal spikes in their mana energy level! The specialists from the Dungeon Management Department said that a dungeon break would be possible if the figures continue to rise!"
"Send all of our combat teams on standby. They are to provide support to the hunters from the guilds!"
"I’m in contact with Crimson Guild in S City, and they said they are moving up their dungeon dive schedules to today to minimize the risk of dungeon break. They are asking for marshals to accompany them! Do we have a combat team ready in S City?"
"Damn! Why are the permanent dungeons acting up now? And at the same time?! It’s killing us!"
Commands are flying around, people are walking as if their heels are on fire, and the Hunter Association is in battle mode. Handling dungeons is always a matter of life and death. This is why ten dungeons are only a tiny number in Country C’s dungeon, but their actions have a strong sense of urgency.
In this bustling scene, Chairman Mao entered the headquarter’s communication and control center.
With his long white coat hanging on his shoulders, Chairman Mao strutted confidently towards the agent in charge.
"How is the response of the offices in different cities?" He asked.
"Everyone is quick to assemble their agents, Chairman Mao," the male beta in charge responded quickly. "The guilds who owned the affected dungeons are also responsive to our call, and they are moving up their dive schedules one by one."
Chairman Mao nodded to the great news.
"However," The officer in charge started carefully. "Some neighboring cities are asking assistance from the headquarters since they don’t have enough available agents to back up the guilds. We are currently choosing which teams to send as backup, but we are afraid we will have no one to support City B."
Three of the ten misbehaving dungeons are in City B, so the headquarters are also pressed to provide enough workforce. The three dungeons are too spread out, so each must have enough officers on standby.
"Send as many back-ups as needed. We have powerful agents guarding City B. There’s no need to sweat over the numbers. We have a promising team on standby."
Chairman Mao smiled smugly, which caused his subordinate to jump, startled.
"Chairman Mao, are you talking about the combat team of the S-class omega, Master Shen?" asked the officer carefully. Even in the Hunter Association, only a few officers know the specialization of Shen Yuan’s team. They didn’t know that the team was the one in the vanguard of the fight against the Cardinals and the one in-charge in monitoring and preventing the terrorists from catching the people they needed to summon the "Tailed Guardian."
"Yeah," Chairman Mao automatically answered.
"But..." The officer trailed off, full of hesitation. "Can he oversee three dungeons at the same time?"
What are they going to do if the guilds fail to lower the mana level of the dungeons and they break? It will be a catastrophe! It is too much for one team to handle!
"Of course, he can! I know he can!" Chairman Mao said. "This is a good exercise for him. He’s too cooped up in the comforts of his own home. It’s time for him to have a good stretch."
’Chairman Mao, I think he will hate you for it,’ The officer murmured. But thinking deeply, he also believes in the capabilities of the S-class omega. "Understood, Chairman Mao. I will communicate with Master Shen and send them the coordinates of the three dungeons."
"Great," Chairman Mao replied before turning his heel and leaving the room. Once in the empty hallway, he silently fished his phone and opened a national map.
He circled the coordinates of the erratic dungeons and stared hard at the seemingly random marks at the cities outside City B and the three dungeons in City B.
He murmured under his breath. "This distribution looks ominous. I just hope nothing happens."
~~~
"So, I am supposed to be the backup for three dungeons?" Shen Yuan commented. Contrary to the sunny smile painted on his face earlier, his expression looked flat, as though he had already expected everything to happen.
The celestial fox spirit is just standing before the car waiting for him, not moving a step like a little schoolboy reluctant to go to class on a dreary Monday morning.
"He’s getting all his money’s worth from me," Shen Yuan deadpanned. "I’m gonna kill him one of these days."
Shen Yuan’s little drama scene abruptly stopped by a teasing snort. "You’re gonna kill him, but you’ll still do it?"
It was Bai Tingfeng walking towards him. The alpha is now in his black business suit, the usual work outfit. "You seem too eager to do the job for someone who complains a lot. You sent your subordinates ahead to assist the Dungeon Management Department in their inspection. Not only that, but you also finished bathing and dressing up in under five minutes. That’s a world record."
"Hmmp!" Shen Yuan acted meanly by rolling his eyes, but his sneaky lip bite gave away his true feelings. His heart is melting at the teasing of this handsome man in a suit.
"That’s because people’s lives are at stake. That’s why I’m willing to do it," Shen Yuan ran his fingers through his hair and added while looking away from his husband. "Besides, I thought maybe we’ll meet in the field. You know, this will be the first time we are working together. I want to impress you."
Bai Tingfeng couldn’t hold back the smile and laughed. "We look like fools, acting like we’re lovesick high schoolers."
"Lovesick high schoolers?!" The celestial fox spirit also laughed loudly.
"Let’s go. Our son is waiting for us in the car!" He pushed his husband’s body inside the car, and Bai Tingfeng only let the omega do his way.
"Papa! Daddy!" Yanyan brightly greeted them. He’s dressed smartly like his parents.
Rong Suyin and Bai Weisheng are on an out-of-town business trip, and Yanyan doesn’t have a babysitter, so he has to go with his parents. The situation around the dungeons may be tense, but with his S-class parents, Yanyan’s safety is a hundred percent.
Their car ran at full speed. They drop Bai Tingfeng in front of the Baihu Guild first before coming to the dungeons, so their vehicle almost flies on the road. It is estimated that they will arrive at their destination in no time.
Meanwhile, Shen Yuan used the travel time to brief his son about their day.
"You will be staying with me later, Yanyan," Shen Yuan told the little boy. "I will mostly be on standby, but I need you to be on your best behavior, okay? No running around. No straying away from my sight."
The instructions were strict, but the little boy didn’t have qualms about it. He’s happy to watch his Papa and Daddy as they do their work. "Okay!"
Shen Yuan summoned two foxfire beasts and pushed the little cheeky foxes to his son. "Since Yanyan seems to cooperate well with his Daddy. Here’s your living doll. You can do whatever you want with them."
"Hi!"
"Hiik!"
Don’t look at the cute and pathetic look they are selling. These two are as good as B-class awakeners in their fighting abilities. If the Cardinals dare to show up and target their son, these two could easily barbecue the terrorists into medium-rare steak.
"Yehey!" The little boy celebrated for having the fire foxes as cuddle buddies. He happily settled in his seat.
He doesn’t know that his parents look at him fondly.
Shen Yuan was thankful for this charming baby boy because if it weren’t for Yanyan, he doubted he would have the relationships he cherishes now.
"So precious," He heard Bai Tingfeng murmur in a doting tone.
The handsome alpha got his complete attention, so he asked, "Are guild masters required to enter the dungeon during emergency scenarios? Like, are they supposed to personally lead their squads to clear the dungeons that are showing signs of dungeon break?"
Bai Tingfeng turned to his husband. From the tone of voice to the delivery, one wouldn’t think that Shen Yuan asked that out of concern. However, one look is enough for Bai Tingfeng to know that his omega cares for him. Those bright, smiling eyes that are looking ahead scream love.
"Not really," He answered, a small smile on his lips. "It depends on the sense of responsibility of the guild master if he is willing to lead his hunters in clearing the dungeon."
Then, he said the answer that Shen Yuan wanted to hear, "If you’re wondering if I will be leading our guild’s dungeon dive for today, then the answer is probably. Assistant Su said that the dungeon that was showing abnormalities was a B-rank dungeon. Only 30 percent of our hunters can enter that due to its difficulty, so as an assurance, I might need to step forward to lead them personally."
"Okay," Shen Yuan answered casually. Just in time, their car came to a complete stop. They arrived at the Baihu Guild. It’s time for them to part ways temporarily.
"Don’t mind about the Blood Curse in the meantime." The celestial fox spirit added. "Work safely and come back to us."
Yanyan chirped to his Papa, "See you, Papa! I love you!"
Bai Tingfeng’s eyes glowed. "I love you, too."
