World 7: Please Put Down The Gun (9)

"General, they didn't catch the attackers, and no one had gotten a glimpse of the attacker's appearance since all those who saw them had died."

Yating reported in front of the car where the General had been remaining silent with a heavy atmosphere around him.

After a few moments of silence, Yating finally knew the reason his General was acting odd with an air of unease around him despite feeling at ease after the attack occurred during the celebration.

The little chef and his adopted son had disappeared in the Cui Manor, only leaving a letter in the General study, which should be impossible since the study room have been well-protected and guarded by two guards the entire time.

This means, no one else should have been able to enter it.

And yet, the little chef had left a message alerting no one. Be it from the two guards standing at the study door or the guards standing outside for the young man to even use the window to enter it.

"General…"

Cui Fen remains quiet while holding the open letter in his hand in the study room, his peach blossom eyes narrowed the entire time with the heavy atmosphere around him. Even the Old General gently caressing his beards had remained quiet while staring at his grandson with an unknown look in his eyes.

Although there seemed to be a bit of gloating within it, which made Yating sweat because of the old man's attitude.

"Go cause a disturbance."

Even without evidence, Cui Fen instinctively felt that the naughty little chef he had picked up had a hand in the attack that had occurred with the Bai family. And with how the young man had disappeared along with the boy, then the possibility of his guess had just turned stronger.

Even if he was wrong with his assumption, there is nothing wrong with causing trouble to the Bai family along with the others who had been getting so daring after getting powerful with their alliances in the family with powers in the grey area.

"Also, try to locate Wu in secret. Don't let anyone know about it."

It's better to not give the young man trouble for whatever agenda he had in mind regarding the Bai family.

Yating open his mouth, wanting to remind his General about the young man's suspicious identity and the danger he might have for him, especially after staying in the Cui Manor, however, he could only choose to shut up.

He knows for a fact that there is no changing the decision the General had once he had decided on something. Unfortunately, the little chef had already become undeniably important in the General's heart despite only knowing him for a few days.

Is this really what I usually heard about, 'Love at first sight?' and 'Love is blind'?

"Yes, General."

…

"Tell me what you want now."

Sitting under a bridge and hidden in the dark, Snow leans on the wall while Flake quickly takes care of the gunshot on his stomach while curiously glancing at the slender figure standing a few distances away from them.

Although Flake was far more curious and interested in the glowing ball of light floating near the slender figure.

It was really a surprise when the young man suddenly appeared during their escape.

"As a tasker, I'm sure you wouldn't randomly come and help us out."

Yes, during the time Snow and Flake were escaping, there was always an unexpected accident and sudden situation getting in their way whenever they almost escape. The two of them knew that whatever golden finger the chosen person have is powerful enough to affect them.

If it weren't for Flake able to freely use his skills, and having 50% resistance to being able to use Snow's skills because of being able to share it, then the entire situation would have been more trouble than it's worth.

There is also a high possibility that the two of them would be captured, or shot to death.

And when this young man with a system on his own appeared, whatever power was getting in their way suddenly disappeared.

So, Snow and Flake quietly let the young man follow them even though they didn't have a good impression of a tasker after what they experienced in the ancient fourth world with the Granter named Lily.

Even with his emotion cleared up, Snow is still angry at the mere thought of that woman eyeing his lovely Emperor with the attitude of 'All men would fall for my charm'.

Of course, Snow had also quickly detected the tasker difference, especially when Flake had mentioned in their mind link about feeling that the other system is lower in rank and extremely weaker than him.

"Hello, Granter. My name is Jake and I am a tasker working for the Karma Core."

The slender young man's appearance is delicate and exquisite with certain elegance and fragility in his movement, with white teeth and a red lip, a perfect appearance of a small white face.

Especially when he was wearing loose robes and long sleeves that gently flutter with his every movement, containing an allure.

"Although we worked in the same Karma Core, but, I have low privilege and a lower rank compared with being a Granter. If it wasn't for my special skill of avoiding danger, taking less risk, and taking advantage of luck when a chance is given then I wouldn't even dare to meet a Granter because of my previous experience."

Jake gently gazes at the two people, a tasker and a system, with a complicated look on his eyes before showing a wry smile.

"After all, Granter is a special existence. Unlike the different taskers working with the Karma Core. You have freedom, and choices and don't have to worry about being punished."

When the ball of light went closer, Jake reach over to gently pat his flustered system. After countless mission worlds, although meeting a Granter is supposedly rare, somehow, he has the misfortune of always meeting a Granter once in a while.

Fortunately, there is a certain notification in their System that inform a tasker whenever a Granter is in the same world they arrive from, allowing them to have certain preparation with their appearance.

Especially when dealing with their mission.

Fortunately, Jake seemed to have finally met a decent one at least, and a new Granter too.

Although, the entire situation changes nothing about a Granter being new since it just depends on the person's personality and nature if they suddenly decide to cause a tasker to fail their missions.

"Unfortunately, I met a quite unsavory Granter during my task time but I seemed to have a stroke of luck this time since my special skill is telling me you could be trusted. At least, you won't suddenly play around and wanted to impede my mission."

Snow couldn't help but nodded his head in understanding, after all, he also met that unreasonable and crazy Granter. Although it was quite nice to know that there are also crazy Granters out there he didn't meet yet, since it's always better to be prepared.

Of course, if this young man's words could be trusted.

"Because of my understanding of this world and my client identity, my special skill led me to believe you will need my help. Especially when we seemed to have the same enemy relating to our mission."

Jake gently spoke with a calm voice, not fast and not slow, just the right rhythm. Of course, despite his special skill, he didn't lower his guard down when facing a Granter that wouldn't impede his mission.

After all, his special skill wasn't invincible and perfect, there is still a lower chance that this Granter would suddenly change his mind and decided that it's better to just simply kill him.

Jake had met those kinds of people, especially when those Granters sometimes appeared in one of the Karma Core special dimensions where the countless living being working in the karma Core could visit and stay for a break from their task.

All those Granters so far are dangerous in their own way, particularly eccentric, and have different mentalities and thought processes.

Of course, there is also the fact that they are at the top of the rank and extremely special, so, some are excessively proud and have a domineering attitude.

"Basically, you want us to work together?"

"Yes, that would be great. I'm sure you already receive a warning from the World Rule Will when you arrive. Aside from my special skill since it's my own and the golden finger because of my client identity. I only have my experiences and my system detection to help me out, anything else isn't allowed."

Snow's mind flashes with various thought, especially after the young man had mentioned the client having a golden finger, which have countless possibilities of what it meant. Particularly when a client might be noteworthy because of their uniqueness, not anyone could have the chance to correct a mistake or fulfill their wish.

I wonder what kind of tasker this young man is? And what identity is his client?

After a few moments of silence, Snow calmly asked what he wanted to know from the start.

"Our enemy, do you know what golden finger the person has?"

Because of how the young man is acting, and how he had spoken with a hidden meaning behind his words, then he should also know what their enemy's golden finger is.

Jake's smile widen and became more sincere knowing the Granter had accepted his offer of teaming up with each other.

"Just making sure, do you read novels? All various genres?"

Snow couldn't help but raise his eyebrows while patting Flake's head, who had been listening in silence.2

"Yes."

"Then, I'm sure you have read about the golden finger of having a koi physic, right?"

Oh? Meaning, the symbol of luck?

Usually, the person who has it will have endless fortunes and good luck, while the one who goes against the person, treated as enemies would face countless misfortunes.

The corner of Snow's lip couldn't help but raise up while his calm eyes gleamed with a certain light. 

He finally knows the entire reason there had been countless accidents during their planned attack and escape routes, especially when he should have been able to dodge the bullet shot his way.

Even when he was running away after being shot, he also keeps a thin line of injury from barely dodging the bullet shot in his way once there are people that followed their trail of escape.

"Interesting."

So, Koi luck physic, huh?
