The Supreme Satanic System

Before you deny it, why don't know visit and see for it yourself? I bet you'll change your mind." Vice-chancellor Kuppo insisted.

Bobby thought in his head: 'Why would I need to go? Whatever the case, I cannot cultivate Angelic Grace Energy.'

"You're wrong there." Cynthia's melodious voice echoed in his head.

"What do you mean when you say I'm wrong?" Bobby asked telepathically to her in her mind, making a sterner face.

Seeing his appearance, Vice-chancellor Kuppo misunderstood him and he said, "I know what's weighing your mind. You don't need to fret over that…. Anyway, you're an Elite agent. So, you have the freedom to leave this place anytime you like."

"Okay, I'll give it a shot." Bobby then suddenly realized something, and he said courteously. "Sir, I don't like to sound over my head. But can I have a suggestion about the Arid Archipelago?"

"Well, I'm listening," Kuppo replied.

"What about the alien technology over there? I mean the human teleporter machine." Bobby asked.

"You don't need to fret about that. I have already sent a team from our Elite Group yesterday. And I'll join the fun today…. Is this all you want to say?" Vice-Chancellor Kuppo replied.

"I want to put in a suggestion.;... Sir, I think it's better to bring that device here to the headquarters instead." Bobby suggested.

"And why is it?"

"First‌, it's a very important piece of human technology. We don't want it to fall into someone else's hands. Second, considering the geopolitical fixture, the position of the Arid Archipelago Island is very near to the territories of the Black Lagoon Unit. There is even the case of those Truth Of Banishment gang entering the Blue Lagoon's territory and first, they looted and massacred everyone in our territory's city first, and then they even went even bolder and killed our soldiers on the Island." Bobby explained patiently.

After seeing Kuppo was all convinced, Bobby further added, saying: "If the Black Lagoon Unit gets the wind regarding ‌Alien's device on the island, a tension is highly probable, as we have apprehended their rogue agents, too. I think we should bring our soldier and that device as soon as possible to the headquarters."

"You're right," Kuppo replied, contemplating deeply.

After pondering for a while, he even had a change of scene of Bobby as he thought in his head: 'Mmm-hmm, earlier I thought that this kid is just good at assassinations and missions. Now I have changed my heart! He's smart and his foresight is also recommendable. Good-good, we need someone exactly like him, who has both the strength and the wit to be our Chief.'

"That's a brilliant idea. I'll put that in today's meeting. Alright, Agent Loki Bradworth, thanks for your time. You're dismissed!" Kuppo said.

Bobby saluted at him for the last time and hurried out of the room. Just after he left the room, a sly grimace of delight appeared on his face. If Kuppo were to see that, there would be a chance that he would be skeptical about Bobby's words.

Back in the office, Kuppo looked at the back of Bobby and muttered softly after he was gone. "What a bright lad? Hopefully, he would succeed in this trial."

"He will!" A husky male voice chimed.

It did not surprise Kuppo when he heard him, as he had expected this already.

As the space in front of Kuppo fluctuated, a black circular portal materialized, and a handsome youth emerged from it. After that black circular portal closed, and the space returned to normal. It was none other than Bruno, the Assistant Chief.

Kuppo thumped his fist on his chest and greeted, "Greetings, Assistant Chief!"

"Hey, it's just us now. Enough with the courtesy. It felt awkward every time you did that when we were alone. Just enough. We're friends after all." Bruno said, waving his hands in a carefree manner.

"But the rule is the rule, sir."

"Fuck the rule! Only an uptight person like you just follows it blindly…. Hey, don't give me that look. You'll know how I felt too if I were to salute my best friends every time we meet."

"So, you're the one who sponsors the Tempest's kid, yeah?" Vice-Chancellor Kuppo asked.

"What can I do, my friend? In light of Loki's achievements and the recent growth, you have already given up on Juno Tempest. And it would be a shame if we were to abandon such a fine rare genius, one in a thousand years. You can thank me later for that," Bruno, the Vice-Chief, responded cheekily as if they were still kids.

"Yes, it would be a shame." Kuppo agreed.

Suddenly, his demeanor changed as he spoke: "That old geezer is so adamant to pick trash this time, too. And on top of that, he even dared to object to my choice. Dant it….. If it weren't for you, I would probably have kicked him out of my building."

"Eh! Don't you even think that? Even though he is a biased and a hardcore supporter of those four noble families. He's still our senior‌," Bruno replied with a warm smile. "And you should be thankful; as since he picked a Junior Master from the Bradworth family, you have another reason for you to pick a bastard from the same family."

He then added, chuckling. "Hee-hee-hee, whatever. I'm sure your choice will be the Chief—so why worry about such trivial matters?"

"You mean it? What about Juno tempest?" Kuppo asked with a jovial smile.

"At first I thought Juno had the chance to complete this upcoming trial but… earlier, hearing Loki's idea about the Geo-Political issues and his meticulous plan changed my mind." Bruno, the Assistant Chief, said, "Juno has the strength, but he lacks empathy and his judgment is just crude and I believe Loki has both of them. And in addition, ‌from my personal experience of this trial, one needed both wits and strength to complete this trial set by our founders."

He asked, "Oh, I overheard that you're going to that island. Can I join too?"

"Why are you asking me that? You're the current head of the Blue Lagoon Unit." Kuppo responded, giving a weird look.

"I changed my mind! Kuppo doesn't use that tone in Superior anymore,"  demanded Bruno, faking a serious face.

"Too late," …..(stay tuned!)
