Chapter 1716 Palmas
"Second condition, I can return anytime to my world. Let\'s say I am allowed to return once a month, and so I have twelve days off in a year." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Third condition, upon finishing my duty guarding the Void Gate. I want to be promoted to The Chief Administrator. In exchange, you can send me to the most frequently attacked gate."
"If you agree with those three conditions, I will take your special mission!"
If he thought about it, guarding the gate might not be as bad as he thought. It would be worth it if they agreed with those three conditions.
"Do you know that you just make yourself even more suspicious? Now you make us think you are part of the Void Cult."
Tang Shaoyang chuckled lightly, finding the accusation funny to him. They forced the theory that he was part of The Void Cult based on their assumption. The worst part, the accusation did not even make sense, illogical.
"Which part makes me even more suspicious? About me wanting a deserved reward for risking my life and staying away from my faction? If you are not going to reward me, why would I take the mission?"
"To prove your innocence!"
"Ah, yeah. We are back at it again. To prove my innocence? Am I guilty? Guilty of what? Just because I survived after meeting one of the Emperors from The Void Cult, and that makes me guilty? So that I need to prove my innocence now?
"It was supposed to be a feat, a heroic feat and yet you make it like it was the wrong thing to do. All administrators must die when they meet an Emperor from the Void Cult. Nice logic."
Tang Shaoyang was not mad, in fact, he was giggling, "I heard a theory from my world that as you get older, your brain also gets smaller. How long have you lived? You all are too old, maybe your brain has shrunk this small?"
He showed the tip of his pinky finger, telling these people their brains were this small.
"Insulting us will only make things worse for you."
Tang Shaoyang shrugged, "Oh really? Then let\'s call it off. You can\'t force me to take the mission anyway, or else you can just force me to take the mission instead of calling me here."
"Before coming here, someone reminded me that even you are all higher-ranked administrators. You are not my superior, and I never work for you. You can\'t force me to take the mission. You summon me to coerce me to do something stupid like guarding The Void Gate for ten years with no benefit. It will work if it\'s someone else, but not me."
That was what made Tang Shaoyang act casually in front of these people.
"I guess you are a newbie for a reason. Do you know that we have authority so you and your team can\'t take any missions. You can\'t take a mission, and you will lose your class. Not just you, but your team as well."
Tang Shaoyang shrugged at the threat, "Then do it. I also want to see how The System will react to it. It\'s not that I don\'t want to take the mission, but because I can\'t take the mission. I am curious about the outcome."
There was no response from the Executive Administrator. It seemed they were not expecting his reaction to the threat. Or maybe the threat worked all the time, but they were at a loss that the threat did not work this time.
He did not care if he lost his Administrator Class. To him, Administrator was one of many paths for him to get stronger. If he lost the class, then he would find another way to get stronger. However, it was a pity that he would lose such an easy path since the Administrator Class was more straightforward.
It was followed by silence for thirty seconds. Tang Shaoyang smiled, rubbing his chin. He guessed the Executive Administrators were discussing something behind him. That was possible. He suddenly thought of an idea, a brilliant idea. At least, it was brilliant to him.
He stood up from the chair, "I have a better idea to prove my innocence!"
There was movement in the shadow behind the curtain, at least five out of ten shadows moved.
"You all agreed that I am suspicious because I survived after meeting The Emperor, right?" A wide grin formed on his lip, and his crimson eyes shone in excitement, "Then fight me! Let\'s take the stage and fight, and you will find out if I can survive an Emperor or not."
Arion burst out in laughter as soon as he heard the challenge. He knew what his friends tried to do against Tang Shaoyang, but he could not stop the majority. But nothing worked on Tang Shaoyang, and the scheme backfired. The proposal made sense, they would find out if Tang Shaoyang was strong enough to survive an Emperor in a fight.
"I told you! Your threats will never work on him. He is a madman!"
Tang Shaoyang did not put Arion on his fighting list since Arion was on his side. He observed the remaining ten Executive Administrators, waiting for their response. He expected them to accept his challenge because it would be embarrassing for the Executive Administrator to dodge the challenge.
Ten seconds passed… thirty seconds passed… then a minute passed…
Tang Shaoyang was not mad, and it was not funny either. He did not know how to react to their devoid reaction. He was speechless, not only were these people illogical, but they were cowardly.
Tang Shaoyang could understand why Atilla insulted them as dogs. No, dogs were better than them. It would be an insult to a dog to call them dogs. A dog would fight anything, even a bear to protect its owner. That was what he saw in a video back then.
"Enough! This is enough! I can\'t watch this anymore! This is so embarrassing, Palmas!"
Even though the voice was flat and toneless, Tang Shaoyang could feel the anger this time. And he heard a name this time, Palmas. One of the Executive Administrators called Palmas, and most likely the one who tried to set him up for ten years to guard The Void Gate.
Then a curtain was pulled open. Arion was at the rightmost pillar, at the very end. The one who just opened the curtain was three pillars away from Arion. It was a woman in a violet dress. She had long, burgundy-colored hair.
She looked like someone in her early thirties, but he knew that her look was deceiving. With how she pulled her curtain, it showed that she was annoyed and mad. Unfortunately, she looked straight at him instead of looking at one of the shadows. If she looked at one of the shadows behind the curtain, he might guess who Palmas was, whether this person was a woman or a man.
"You want to dodge your duty call by sending him in your place, but you are also using this chance to help your friend, and you are trying to delay him from progressing. You want him dead, and I have enough of this stupid shit!"
"The Void Cult is getting aggressive with their movement these days. And yet, here we are, playing a little stupid politics. The worst part, is you are trying to drive away the highest prospect Administrator from us!"
There was a pause for a moment. It seemed like Palmas was communicating secretly with this woman.
"No! No! No! I will not stop, Palmas. You set up all this bullshit, and when he challenges you. You don\'t have the f*cking courage to take the challenge! You cower from his challenge. You are an embarrassment! You are a disgrace to the Executive Administrator. And that\'s what makes me mad!"
"I don\'t care about your little stupid politics, or even if you are doing a favor for your friend. You can do whatever you want, but I can\'t let you embarrass me! So shut the f*ck up and let me clean your stupid mess. I will not stop unless you accept his challenge!"
The woman let out a steam. She was clearly embarrassed by this Palmas, and instead of letting it go like the other Administrators. She embarrassed Palmas instead by coming out.
Even though the words were meant for Palmas. She never made a gesture or even looked at where Palmas was. She kept Palmas hidden from Tang Shaoyang. Then it was followed by a silence after the woman vented out her anger, no one dared to speak after her.
The person called Palmas also did not talk back to this woman. That showed the women\'s position even among the Executive Administrators.
"That\'s what I thought. Keep hiding like a coward and don\'t you dare to interrupt me. Let me clean your mess!"
Then the woman focused on Tang Shaoyang. Her anger had not subsided yet.
