Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?



Gone. 

Everyone stared at the sky, emotionally watching the private jet fly away. 

The onlookers who knew nothing of what they faced, pondered on what sort of celebrities Dorian's group were to make people stare into the skies for so long. 

"Come on! Let's go home." Officer Macy reminded, dipping the tip of her large hat with her fingers. 

Life must go on. But for her, she was hell-bent on taking the mysterious exams in 2 months' time. 

No matter what, she must become a Ghost catcher. 

Until then, she will do her best to keep order in check. 

This might be out of the books, but they need to make new rules that aren't exactly police rules to be enforced. 

The town's mayor was out of town, so only his family had experienced the seriousness of last night. 

With his family convincing him, they might be able to put order and keep everyone safe moving forth.

One of these days, they will host a big conference/meeting event, inviting at least one person from each household. 

They were a town and a family. Thus, they must come up with the rules together. 

For example, no child must be seen alone in the woods or forest regions as they usually did in the past. 

Now, you must be accompanied or be in groups. 

Well, it would suck to be a loner in these dark times, since you could die and no one would know. 

Again, Maxt thought it would be smart to set up warning bells and strategically place them across the entire town, especially around the battlefield. 

From what the grandmaster said, many months from now, creatures might appear again to investigate why the gates were closed.

This meant creatures would enter their lands and might invade them again. 

The moment many heard this, they thought of fleeing the town for good. But why did they hear that in every part of the world, creatures like these already lived out here with some taking office at several workstations?

Think about it.

If not for that big incident, how would they have known that the old cooks in their school cafeteria were monsters?

How would they have known that the most senior police Chief at the stations and his old buddies were also monsters?

Look around!

Monsters could hide in the shadows of objects and even make their bags run like horses. So how can they know what is safe and what isn't after leaving this place? 

In the end, many preferred to stay in this place that had been cleaned by the Grandmaster. 

Well, at least they knew for the time being, there were no dangers here. 

But who knows if one might stumble in on one tomorrow or even next week.

That's why they also bought protection talismans from Dorian. 

It was indeed pricey but so, so worth it!

The very rich man on the lone hill bought the highest number of protective talismans, keeping the rest like ancient family objects that must not be used unless necessary. 

Now, he and his family dared not go to sleep without wearing them.

It was amazing that Dorian could carve a few symbols on a small stone and it became a fortified object.

It was they who then wrapped the stone nicely and tied it around their necks. 

Some also got paper talismans too, which won't tear off in the water.

The only way it can destroy itself is if it loses its value after meeting monsters and protecting them severally.

Some talismans are only good for one use, others for 3 and some for 5.

All in all, everyone couldn't wait to fortify themselves. 

Some had Dorian carved symbols on wood, which was easier to carry around for them, as they drilled holes into the flat wood, tied around on them and wore them as chains and bracelets for protection. 

Say no more!

From now on, be it in the shower or even swimming out in the lake, they dared not take it off.

.

Just like that, things in town soon regained their precious calmness, though it was never the same again.

Meanwhile, in the air, the air hostess and pilot who stayed in other places during the long stay, now had helpless expressions after seeing the group once again close their eyes and play dead. 

Sigh~

The air hostess didn't even bother, taking out a book to pass the time.

From time to time, she would still check upon them but found they still loved the game of playing dead. 

Alas... 

What can she do?

The last time she arrived, the airline almost blew a fuse, thinking h she forgot to serve the many guests seeing as all the food and drinks were still intact.

If not for the pilot's words and the fact that none of the passengers laid any complaints, they would have blown her to bits with their dynamite words.

This time again, they felt they might not be in for a meal like the last time. 

And sure enough, she was right because soon, there were only 30 minutes left before the plane arrives and the many guests still hadn't taken a simple thing. 

Augh~... 

The air hostess rubbed the corners of her head stressfully. 

It was so hard for her to maintain her airline smile when she kept thinking of how to shake these people until they became dizzy. 

What sort of VIPs were these? Don't they know when taking a private jet, one must live lavishly and enjoy all its pleasures? 

What an odd bunch of weirdos. 

Ding!

"Please keep your seatbelts fastened and electrical devices away."

At this point she didn't even know why she was making such announcements when everyone was exactly as they were when she first checked them in at the start of the flight.

(:T^T:)

Landing safely, with everyone heading straight for the academy grounds.

Don't think just because they came back, they could rest as they pleased. 

After witnessing what an underworld doorway looked like, they felt anxious, wanting to quickly find them all and eliminate the entryways fast!

Tick-tock. Tick-tock.

They were truly running out of time!

Like so, another 15 days flew by in a blink of an eye, with the academy assignments continuing to pile, and the work only growing larger.

However, they weren't the only ones with a full plate.

.

--West Fuldland Brigade, Vardos Country.--

.

It's been weeks since many important military personnel, alongside a few influential police personnel around the country have been flying in on a steady.

Mind you, it's been 20 days since the last missing group incident and the country superiors and leaders were not thrilled about this one bit. 

Do you know how looked down they were dying at that time? 

Do you know how much they carried on their heads because of this global matter? What the hell?

Even they couldn't help cursing at their soldiers and police forces, wondering if these people hadn't been eating right of late to fuck up on a global scale.

Do you recall how they brought their specialists into the scene with fanfare but left with their tails between their legs instead? 

And those bloody media people also made them wish they could kill civilians for the first time in their careers.

Please!

Can you read a room? Can't you see you are only making matters a hundred times worse?

Do you enjoy torturing them so much? 

If not for their profession, they would have taken up wrestling with those bloody media people and beat them to a pulp.

This global matter made them know how lax their country's security was. 

That's why since then, they have been coming in harder than before concerning kidnapping, trafficking and organ selling.

Don't Think that just because this matter is over, the public will let them go.

Till today, many people still call them useless, saying without the help of those mysterious people from the East, they wouldn't have succeeded at all!

Of course, from Wiggins, Harry, and Berry's words, they knew it was true, but it was still too painful to rob it in their faces so hard. 

According to the trio and many others who accompanied them, they confirmed that at least 99.9% of the work was done by their mysterious guests from the East. 

F***!

Are you forgetting that they said <at least?> Then it meant that <at most> in this case would be 100% right? 

Wouldn't that mean their forces went in just for decoration to admire the scenery? 

The shame! The shame!

Many closed their eyes with both hands and bowed their heads in shame.

The shame here was just too great for them to swallow. And that's why this meeting was being held.

No! 

All major leaders, heroes, veterans, and very influential people from all barracks were here. 

The police chiefs and those with major positions also attended as per request.

Apart from this reason they also had another top-secret reason on their list.

That was because Wiggins, Berry and Harry had also requested all be here for a grand revelation of what truly went down during that nightly rescue. 

This was definitely classified information that must never reach the public's ears!
