Number One Dungeon Supplier

Chapter 963 New Year, Let's move forward

"And you agreed to all of this without asking me?" Jin changed in the middle of the garden with all his minions surrounding him in a circle. The minions, especially the female ones, could not help but take peeks at Jin's body. 

They all saw the healed battle scars that he had gotten over the past few months. They were testimony to his actions of tirelessly saving and rescuing the various worlds despite his 'normal' life as an 'ordinary' dungeon supplier. Lynn was amongst those eyeing up his body. His physique caused her to skip a beat or two. "It seemed the cold did not bother him anyway." She thought to herself as she rubbed her hands when the winter winds blew through the garden.

Meanwhile, Yun continued her lecture incessantly. "Our coffers might be full for the moment but knowing your horrendous spending habits, it will be a wonder if anything will be left at the end of next month," Yun complained.

"That's the whole point of money. If you don't spend and invest in the business, we will be unable to gain better equipment or a better quality of life!" Jin justified his habits as he adjusted his belt and picked the black jacket up.

"Stop using that as an excuse. It's only true to a certain extent. Claire has advised us to branch out and find alternate sources of income as a quick fix for our leaking accounts. This is one of them."

"Look, I am not complaining about it. In fact, I was going to praise you for making that choice. Otherwise, I would not be changing my clothes right in the middle of this desolate garden." Jin argued back.

"I - Hmm. I apologise then. I always thought you would be adverse to me making choices for you." Yun said.

"Considering how your initiative has brought me down to my knees and eyes swell with tears more than once, I wonder why," Jin noted sarcastically but eventually changed his tune a little. "Look, I feel that things have been awkward between us for quite a while. I don't think it will be possible to simply return to the way it was when I just started out and it was only just the two of us. But I would be happy to work towards such a relationship. I want to take this opportunity to make things right with you."

"So, then what would you treat me as? A System's assistant?" Yun questioned.

"Probably? I mean to be fair, I treated the System quite cordially after we settled our differences. It's the new year, let's forget about our mistakes and move forward. That's all I'm saying." Jin adjusted his coat and added one more sentence.

"Just be yourself. Be that obsessive protective System Assistant that worries about me for not doing well in the eyes of the System." Jin clarified, and suddenly there was a bit of wooing from the minions even though most of them were facing outward.

"Way to go Jin!" Lynn teased him for trying his best to mend the rocky relationship between him and Yun. But suddenly she felt a pull from her right ear, and as she turned her head, it was Yun that was doing the act.

"And you know what you should do." The System Assistant lectured her as if she had already started to care for Jin in the capacity of the System.

"Ooowwooo. Yes, Mdm." Lynn quickly nodded her head. 

"Are the two of you not changing?" Jin asked as he finally had his black and white formal suit combination that was the same with his minions. 

"Well, the lead girls have to look different so they will be staring at us, right?" Lynn chuckled as she held onto Yun. 

"More of a power play. One might think that Master Jin is capable of having these two independent powerful yet beautiful looking girls beside him but in actual fact, those who really know him, it's actually showing that Master isn't exactly the boss and instead it's them." Ayse commented, and some of the minions couldn't help but snicker.

"Sad to say, I have to agree with Ayse on this. Even if you are our master, sometimes Lynn and Yun seem to hold more power than you." Weslie nodded her head as she held onto Gold's arm. The rest of the minions giggled, and Jin was speechless. It was arguing the truth of the matter.

"So, where are we actually?" He asked in an attempt to change the subject.

"All of this is actually part of the Royal Zodiac Tiger's property and we are at the distant edge of their district. We are actually early since we have asked to rendezvous with Yang Ling here. She says she will give us the official invitation personally to the meet." Lynn said.

"Don't worry. You will not be charged with public indecency. Despite our bodyguards circling you, we have also put up a barrier around the area so no one can come in. It's a bit bothersome, but it also shows people not to trifle with you." Yun said as she snapped her finger and Ayse immediately pulled the barrier down.

Suddenly, there were tons of annoyed people that glared in their direction. Jin's minion immediately took up position and just stared back at them behind their sunglasses.

"For once I would enjoy just going to a normal event," Jin mumbled and suddenly Lynn held on to his arm as if it was a given. Yun, on the other hand, stood a step behind them and started scanning around him as if she was his lead bodyguard. 

"What are you doing?!" Jin asked in a private System channel.

"We talked about it with Yun. For this event, it would be best if I pretend to be your girlfriend. That way, you should not get bothered by Yang Ling or others." Lynn shared her thoughts through the system channel were firm and decisive. The only thing she 'forgot' to mention was that it was in fact her idea.

"I… thank you. I am in your care." Jin nodded at her and straightened his posture before starting to observe his surroundings. He did not know why Yun and the others had decided to play and act as if they were a power group. The System usually preferred to not stand out, so this was way out of the norm, and he believed there was a reason for it.
