The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker

Chapter 56: Raiding an E+ Rank Dungeon Part 3

Kayn didn't wait long for Victor to arrive inside the tent.

"What's up?" Victor asked.

"I heard just now that you're having trouble on how to clear this dungeon," Kayn didn't bother with any useless pleasantries.

"Do you perhaps have any idea that can help us?" It seems like Diana was correct.

"I do," Kayn smiled. He pulled a chair beside him and sat down while simultaneously inviting Victor to take a seat as well. "But what would I get if I told you about it?"

Obviously, there's no free lunch in this world. Not to mention, what he is offering is not just any ordinary free lunch, but something else that will allow the Black Panda team to save themselves the trouble of going back and making another preparation. Not to mention, it will prevent the other guilds from taking advantage of thier unfortunate situation.

"As long as we can clear this dungeon today, I will allow you to pick at least two items from the boss loot,"

"Hmmm..." Kayn thought for a bit. Albeit he already has a clear idea of what he wanted from Victor. "How about you let me pick two items from all the loots that we gather from this dungeon?"

"Are you sure?" The loot from the boss is the best loot that can be found inside the dungeon. Yet, Kayn actually wants something else. Is it because he doesn't want to take advantage of him?

"I think you're forgetting something. I am still a Superhuman, so there's no certainty if I can really find something I need from the loot that the boss has dropped,"

Indeed. Victor finally understood the reason behind Kayn's decision. It wasn't that he doesn't want to take advantage of him, it's just that he is being practical, that's all.

Unbeknownst to Victor, Kayn simply wanted to expand the scope of his choices. What if the item he needed is not one of those that dropped from the boss? In that case, he would have no other choice but to pick something that he doesn't like.

"It's great that you are clearly aware of the extent of what you need," Victor can't help complimenting Kayn.

"I merely know my place,"

"Are you talking about Frank?" Victor chuckled.

"Who else?" As if there was somebody else who acts like they are entitled for something just because their father is an executive of the White Panda team.

"Just don't mind that guy,"

"If you keep on doing that, Frank would believe that he possess a certain level of authority over the Black Panda team,"

"Rest assured, we have our own plans on how to deal with Frank. One of these days, he would be kicked out,"

"That's good to hear,"

"Anyways, what's your plan?"

"It's honestly quite simple," Kayn started sharing to Victor his plan.

.....

By the time Victor left the tent, he is carrying in his mind a plan that can completely turn around their situation for the better.

Upon returning to where the Black Panda team was gathered, Victor immediately called out to Diana and the others to share the plan that Kayn enlightened him about.

Even though Frank wasn't called out, as soon as he saw Diana and the others being gathered by Victor, he

"Change of plan. We will no longer return to make another preparation," Victor announced.

"But, how do you plan to solve our problem with the lack of enough necessary equipment and weapon?" Alex truly wondered.

"Indeed. It's not like we can just magically summon those items," Rys added.

"How about you let Captain Victor continue talking about his plan?" Frank expressed his displeasure. Since Victor is thinking of continuing with the raid, he of course has to give his utmost support as his hidden agenda is inline with it.

Meanwhile, Diana, Alice, Joshua, and James decided to stay silent and wait for Victor to finish speaking.

"The plan is honestly very simple. Me and Alex will find Echo who is currently scouting for the location of the boss. Once we find him, we will make preparations to lure the boss to this location,"

"That..." Alex was amazed. Victor's plan seems to be the best solution to solve their problem.

"Was this Kayn's plan?" Diana whispered to Victor.

"Yes," Honestly, until now he still can't believe that a young man like Kayn is actually capable of thinking of this genius and outside of the box kind of plan.

"Marlon already gave him the thing. But I don't think that would be enough to pull that young man to our guild,"

"What you are doing is useless. That young man is clearly already a part of Mayor Sebastian's force," He wasn't stupid enough to believe that a young man with the talent like what Kayn posseses is not yet part of a big force. Not to mention, there's no way on Earth that the Ying Yang Dynasty guild could hope to contend with what Mayor Sebastian could offer to Kayn, especially considering that he is his son-in-law.

"Thought so," Diana was also thinking the same. And since Victor has confirm her thoughts, she didn't hesitate to abandon her ideas about recruiting Kayn to their guild.

"Anyways," Victor continued briefing everyone with his plan. "While we are luring the boss to this place, the rest of you would start making preparations to increase our chances of defeating the boss as quickly as possible,"

After all, the plan that he proposed can't change the fact that they are surrounded by a cold environment that can affect them negatively if they are exposed for a long period of time.

Even though they are surrounded by a barrier that brought warmth to their bodies and prevents the cold from getting inside their base of operation. However, once the boss arrives, that barrier would instantly be destroyed. Hence, they only have a limited amount of time to kill the boss. Otherwise, they would be defeated.

Without needing to confirm, Victor could see that everyone present understood his point.

"Everyone that agrees with my plan, please raise your hand," Nevertheless, Victor still gave a chance for everyone to vote. But as he expected, everyone raised their hands, except for Frank.

It's quite obvious that Victor's plan isn't inline with Frank's goal despite the fact that they both intend to continue with the dungeon raid. Even a fool would be able to see through what Frank is feeling at this moment.

"This is bad! I thought that Victor planned to continue moving until we find the boss' location," Frank thought inwardly. He seriously never expected that they would just be staying here while waiting for the boss to come to them. "I won't be able to get the item I want in this case,"

Victor completely ignored Frank as he turns to look at Alex, "Quickly switch your equipment to cold resistance so that we can proceed with our plan,"

"Understood, Captain Victor!" Alex didn't hesitate to comply.

Without wasting any time, Alex went into a somewhat secluded corner and hastily started changing his equipment.

It didn't take long for Alex to return to the group with a new set of equipment covering his entire body.

Victor had also just finished informing Diana and the rest on what to do while they are away. So, as soon as Alex returned, he immediately left with him to find Echo.

"Let's go!"

As soon as Victor and Alex left, Kayn finally revealed himself. He pretended like he just arrived so that Frank won't be suspicious of him.

"Hello, everyone!" Kayn greeted Diana and the others.

"What are you doing here? And where are the Porters?" Frank called out to Kayn the moment he saw him approaching them.

"I decided to go on ahead,"

"You're the Head Porter. You're supposed to be with your men!" Frank scolded Kayn.

"Rest assured. I got it covered," Kayn didn't mind Frank's tone of voice. The latter is clearly just trying to find someone to release his anger, and it just so happens that he arrived. Hence, he because his target.

"Just make sure that's the case!" Frank coldly harrumph before deciding to make his way toward his group from the reserve team.

"How childish!" Alice rolled her eyes at Frank. "Don't worry about that guy, Kayn. If ever he tries to harm you, I'll make sure that he'll get a piece of my mind,"

"Thank you," Kayn expressed his appreciation.

Seeing that Frank is far enough, Diana excitedly approached Kayn. She grabbed both the latter's hand and said, "How on Earth did you think of that plan?"

"It wasn't a big deal," Kayn pretended like it was nothing so serious so that Diana won't continue asking him about it. "It was just something I learned from Mayor Sebastian," To make it even more convincing, he used Mayor Sebastian as a shield.

"As expected from the Mayor's son-in-law," Rys jokingly muttered.

"Jokes aside," Kayn turned solemn. "I am guessing that it won't be long for Victor to return," After all, Echo has probably found the boss by now considering how long he has been searching. "So before that, let's start making preparations,"
