Chapter 1840 Dinner with the Demon Exorcists -Part 3

"So, I am guessing that if you all are here sulking about it, it's a failure then?" Jin said it so bluntly that it was kind of embarrassed the four Demon Exorcists who were supposed to be the rising stars of China's Demon Exorcist organisation.

"Yes. And we are shameless to return to ask for help." Rong pulled his chair back and bowed towards Jin. It was as if the group knew this 'scolding' would come and Rong had decided to be the first to take the brunt of it.

"Although I am technically a Demon Exorcist by title, I am not the correct helpline that you should ask for first. Get Grandma Yuan's opinion on this instead." Jin said and they all instinctively looked at Instructor Yuan.

"Let me have a talk with the old fellow Diego first before we decide anything else," Yuan said as she asked the System to give him a call.

"Are you sure you that you wish to call Demon Exorcist Diego?"The System asked as it needed to break into a few systems to get this particular phone number.

"It will be troublesome to go by the official route and it's a waste of time. Get to it." Grandma Yuan said and the System did just that. The phone number was found and it rang consistently for a long time before he picked up.

"Who is this?" Diego asked and Grandma Yuan spoke out first.

"I'm not sure if you remember. Corporal Yuan of the defunct 55th Demon Exorcist Brigade. Battle of the Donghai Bridge." Grandma Yuan said and Diego kept quiet for a moment.

"Give me a while, let me go to a more private place to talk," Diego said as they all heard footsteps and the locking of the door. "It's nice to hear your voice again, Yuan. Pray tell, the reason for this call?"

"I assume you have met my students?" Yuan asked and it took Diego some time to connect the dots.

"Those were your students? All of them?" Diego asked and Yuan's small sound of approval gave some joy to the group in front of her. "I hope they did not give you too much of a trouble being in Rome."

"No, never. In fact, I am grateful to them for protecting our Demon Exorcists from the encounter. I assumed they briefed you a little on the situation."

"I had the summary of it."

"Then, I do not have to say too much that felt impossible to write in the report."

"So, have you identified the demons? If it is in Rome and they transformed into beings wearing Roman armour, I am believed that it's a little more than meets the eye, correct?" Yuan asked and Diego sighed.

"Indeed. Truthfully, if your cultivators were not there to aid us, we would have suffered more casualties than we already had. We thought based on the report they were only Wang Liangs and the dimension tear. So, I had commandeered a few mid tier Mage Demon Exorcists for the fight, and brought a few Sword Magus as well."

"The standard team formation if those were the only kind of demon spirits that we were dealing with. I do not blame you and in fact, I am more surprised that you were part of the team as well." Yuan commented.

"I am just an old man now, a tutor for these new Demon Exorcists. Besides, I decided to go because of the dimensional tear. After all, we do not want a repeat of what happened in your National Expo Centre I also assumed that your students were also involved in that fight, correct?" Diego said and Yuan smirked.

"They were but they are not the ones who ultimately remove the threat. Do not give them too much credit." Yuan replied as she casually eyed at Jin when she talked about the removal of the threat.

"Indeed, too much praise is bad for their mental growth as well." Diego agreed before continuing. "In any case, those Wang Liangs that we tried to exterminate mutated into as your students had said, undead Roman soldiers. But upon closer inspection, I suspect that we are fighting a mutated variant of Y'm-Bhi. Not only taking it had those features but it took the form of the past Roman Soldiers and gladiators that had fought in the area."

"I supposed they are capable for I see there were still bruises and a few cut marks on my students despite their best attempts to hide it." Yuan said and the rest were indeed long sleeves despite the weather.

"Indeed. Our Sword Magus were killed almost instantly. Your students gave their all in order to protect the remaining who were still breathing even though they were supposed to be here as just scouters, pin pointing to us where the Wang Liangs were at. I am glad that they were the ones China had sent to aid us."

"But that does not solve the problem that they are still there, is it not?" Yuan asked.

"It has not, the tourist site had been sealed and a barrier had been erected. The Italian Demon Exorcist Organisation is preparing for a counterattack as we speak. I am afraid I cannot share much details to you other than this even though you were once a comrade of mine."

"No, I am more concerned of another thing. Any incidents with the Banned Emperor Terrorists recently? As well as Void Beings?" Yuan finally felt that there was enough courtesy talk between them and asked the real questions.

"No. So far, the Demon Exorcist Organisation had asked Italian intelligence as well as my contacts in the Gemini Clan. There are no sightings of the Banned Emperor Terrorists. As for Void Beings, I am unable to confirm its existence but precautions had been taken to ensure that if we were to encounter such beings, the place will be evacuated for a serious fight." Diego replied and said that he got to go.

But Yuan stopped him.
