Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army 259 Gatcha

"Oh lady luck, bless us through this husband of yours, and grant us a test subject for torture training, the sc.u.mmiest of them all would be so perfect but we can do with anything you can offer, oh lady luck we offer this …. Gift… of … eh..ah...grat.i.tude for the luck you will bestow on us, oh G.o.ddess of luck if you don't help your husband will forever remain pure and childish in his thoughts".

As Dustan finished uttering the last words the altar broke and the offering disintegrated into dust, it was an obvious warning from the lady herself, "leave my husband out of your trickery" as was interpreted by high priest Dustan. There was a round of bowing and praising the husband of luck and wis.h.i.+ng the duo some good long lovey dovey years together. Soon after Yunan vacated the throne in case of being evicted forcefully and by the time everyone was out of ritual mode a message arrived.

The genie had taken the liberty of keeping the company undisturbed and welcoming all incoming messages from the outside during the ritual, after they were done they got a call from the guy that usually buys the materials for the guild from Yunan, he seemed a bit unnerved, as if forced to make the call, therefore Yunan limited the video feed to himself alone while making the genie use the ring to scan around the man.

The man was with a mult.i.tude of others that were not the usual a.s.sistants, the took the precaution of hiding their weapons and masking their readied magic but what Hephaestus made was not a simple communication tool, it was much more than that, and with the genie using mana freely, Yunan could tell the situation immediately. Thus he made an inquisitive face as of he was not sure what was going on, on the background all of Debauchery was heading for the quarantine room while the genie was getting ready to teleport everyone on the other side inside the private dimension.

"The usual is about to be ready, is there something that I can do for you? This is very unusual". The man had to clear his throat and disengage his eyes away from his kidnappers and follow their script to survive. "Sir Yunan, we have a sudden shortage of materials and we are in need of high-quality goods as fast as possible, especially the enchanting pearls, it would be great if you can send us any that you have on hand, we will pay twice the usual price".

Yunan nodded his head as if in understanding and said "currently you guys have not yet returned the storage equipment from the last s.h.i.+pment, so I will need to bring here to make you sign on contract detailing that you borrowed storage equipment, so there will be a great teleportation triggered, of you have a.s.sistants that can help you do the counting please ask them to step closer, since this is not the usual s.h.i.+pment and protocol I have to make you count the items before it leaves this place, that will help keep my boss pacified".

The man felt relieved when he heard Yunan as if his worries were blown away, so he looked at his captors as if telling them what to do next, as expected they all got close to the man and they voiced out that they were ready. The only one who was standing in a bit far away did not join. Yunan did not care as he supplied the genie with enough mana to teleport everyone in the same room to his quarantine room where Debauchery was ready for them.

The criminals were 8 in total, a chief and his 7 followers, 2 magician girls and 2 healers, the rest were all men, one was an archer and the other two were fighters, they only realised what was wrong when their chief was in their midst and the guild employee was not in sight. What broke their hearts was that no matter how they tried to attack the room, break the walls or the door and even teleport, they failed miserably, despair hung over their heads and fear of whoever built such a fortification was starting to seep into their souls, first the ring being used as both teleport beacon and communication device, it could also be used to spy on the surroundings of the carrier as well as it was a very big beacon if it could also add the head criminal to the teleport list, not to mention that they deliberately left out the part of the teleport being able to send people in the same s.p.a.ce into different places and rearrange those transported in its effects.

While the bandits were getting slowly past terror and into the territory of despair, Yunan was watching Bai reading the memories of the guild employee, he seemed keen to know what is going on before deciding to spare or add the man into the lost of torture subjects. Luckily the man himself wasn't a traitor, he was going to meet some businessmen about some guild work and deals and these bandits turned out to be after him in hopes of reaching Yunan and get their hands on the method or even the production facilities of the pearls. He was threatened for his life, and like any man with power he chose to save his life, Yunan was not more precious than him and even if his treasure got stolen it only meant more materials for the guild.

Bai was rather inconsolable when he finished reading the man's memories, the guild was not treating Yunan any better than other providers, they ripped him off big in the process they agreed on, but the guild thought Yunan had some production cost, when in reality he had to stroll around and gather mana from the dungeon monsters to produce anything in this place, it was even self-sufficient lately due to Yunan finding a few mana beasts and letting them loose in the back garden, Bai felt that his own pockets were being stolen from because Debauchery could treat Yunan as a walking cash cow, thus his money was a bit more valuable than their own.
