Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Dorian narrowed his eyes. "Over there... Land."

"_"

Ajin's like twitched, while now understood the operation of this guy. Sure enough. This guy fitted in the category of people who didn't like wasting saliva, saying so many words in one sentence.

"Killnoff, over there."

The pilot was shocked.

​ "There? Are you sure?" You must know that this island is still ridden with wild bears, snakes, and all sorts of deadly beasts. That's why landing there, so close to a water source, is definitely not a good thing!"

Ajin thinned his lips. "I know. Why did you think that we brought tranquillizers?"

"But..."

"No buts... The big guy ordered it. And as ordered by the Marshal, we are to obey his orders... Though I do agree that they seem unreasonable."

Ajin tapped the pilot's shoulders to relieve the poor guy's tension and frustration.

"I, too, find it weird. And that's why I prefer you stay in the chopper, ready to take us out of here if the going gets tough."

Now, the lead pilot, Killnoff, was already slightly angered with Dorian's decision. But he didn't dare say anything, swallowing it all up, secretly curing him in his mind.

'Bloody son of a b**ch! You better pray that no one gets injured, or else I'll be the first to beat you black, blue, orange and even purple! Hmph!'

Killnoff gritted teeth before communicating with the rest of his pilot team, flying the other choppers.

"What? Is he crazy?"

"Terrible! Terrible! Who the hell would make such a decision?"

Killnoff felt the rage of the others but knew that there was nothing they could do about it.

"No quibbling. Take these babies down now!"

"Roger that!"

.

~Whoop. Whoop. Whoop. Whoop.~

Very slowly and vigilantly, the choppers began descending onto what seemed like an open hole close to the island's center.

From above, the entire design was like a key.

The spot they were descending onto, had an enormous circular gathering of water there.

This giant circular gathering of water could be considered the top part of the 'key.' The long bottom half would have to be the massive, deadly flow of water that left the gathering and rushed out of the island, being sandwiched between those 2 cliff sides on the North.

Of course, no doubt about it, all the little streams of water around the island were probably somehow connected to this spot.

One shouldn't forget the massive waterfall around the gathering too.

That is, one could say that this water spit should be the 'cradle of life' for a majority of water sources on the island, no?

In that case, understanding why the pilots and everyone else were so freaked out was easy to guess.

However, it was undeniable that to Ajin and a few others, their interest had once again been piqued by Dorian's move.

The boy didn't seem like a foolish person. And for his men to still remain calm and support his actions, further convinced him that the boy probably had a plan up his sleeves.

Then, what was he about to do?

.

~Whoop. Whoop. Whoop.~

With great focus and precision, the pilots all landed on the open region between the thick forest facing one side of their choppers, and the massive water surface facing the other side.

They ensured that they could fully see both sides, lest something creeps out of the water to attack them.

"Grandmaster... What's the plan?"

Dorian raised his brow lazily: "Come if you want to, stay if you don't." He shrugged before steadily out coolly. Of course, following him were Butler Sheng and Chan-ki.

(-_-)

Once again, Ajin was dumbfounded by this guy's speaking ability.

Bro... Are we fighting or something?

~Pff!

Mina glanced at her leader, trying not to burst out in laughter.

Aiyoo~~...

This was the first time she saw the leader meet his match.

You know, the Captain could also be in the category of the 'domineering president' in terms of his attitude. In a way, he was a little bit like the youngster, though more outspoken.

No! It could be seen that before today, they thought they knew what 'domineering President meant.' But now, they understood.

The youngster's entire demeanor made them want to bow before him. It was hard to explain, but even a simple act of crossing his legs looked so elegant, as though they were watching some ancient monarch.

Tsk. The boy was definitely an eye-opener for them.

Well, this wasn't surprising, given his identity and his upbringing.

Who knows... Maybe this was how all wealthy kids were trained.

.

Ajin glanced at the subordinate in the chopped with him with a cold stare, choking her with her swallowed laughter.

"I see you've been too free of late"

"No. No. No, sir... I, I.."

"Save it! When we get back, triple training for you!" He said, taking out his walkie-talkie. "All ground units move out! Sanchu, your unit will stay back and protect the choppers and pilots. The rest of you, protect the Grandmaster!"

"Right!" They replied, stepping out of the choppers hastily.

Ajin glanced at his second in command, Mina, with his face still cold as ice.

"Let's go."

The duo also jumped out of the Chopper, keeping a close distance from Dorian and his gang.

All this time, Dorian had been standing on the open brown sandy path, starting at the ground deeply.

Eh?

Everyone stared at the ground in confusion but still kept their vigilance up.

Look up, down, around...

Sure enough, they could see several black images hidden between the forest trees.

Island's primary Water source equalled a large gathering of beasts.

Bubuum. Bubuum.

Their hearts went chaotic.

And amidst the heavy air, they quickly reached for their tranquillizers, ready to take action.

Soon, it wasn't just their front that seemed to be the issue, as something was also swishing vigorously in the waters.

Dammit!

These beats had got them surrounded!

"Everyone, get back into the Choppers! Grandmaster, we have to go... We... Grandmaster?"

(×_×)

Amidst the anxious and heavily tensed group, Dorian began walking ahead as though he was blind to the dangers around him.

Ajin swiftly glanced at Butler Sheng, seeing him as calm as the river.

"_"

Who am I? What am I? Where am I?

Could it be that they had been escorting a bunch of crazy people all this time?
