1761  Meet Cloud Again

Tang Shaoyang did not care even if he lost his Administrator Class. He was not deep yet into the Administrator Class, finishing a few missions here and there. It didnʼt hurt to lose the class now. He was ready for what came after canceling the special mission.

”What!? Is it not enough?”

Clementine raised her tone, getting angrier. Still could not believe that Tang Shaoyang would refuse the reward. Seven of the God Rank equipment or Primordial Bloodlines were big rewards for the new God Rank.

”Itʼs not about the reward, itʼs about my family. If you canʼt keep a watch on your people, then why would I do a mission for you? I am doing a mission for people who want to hurt my family? I am not that greedy for the reward of sacrificing my family for it. If I cancel the mission, Palmas has to go and my family will be safe at least from him.”

If he did not take the mission, then Palmas would. Palmas would spend more than four years, and he would be safe from this time.

Clementine was angry at Tang Shaoyang and Palmas. For the first time in a while, they found someone strong enough to sit alongside her. A help that would help their fight against the Void Cult. But someone from her side always had a way to mess it up.

”I can guarantee your familyʼs safety if you take the mission.”

A soothing and gentle voice rang in the room. Clementine and Arion were startled as they were not able to sense the fourth person in the room.

The two Executive Administrators looked toward the voice, and they were startled to find who just spoke. Both stood up, stiff then they bowed their heads.

”Welcome to Administrator Space, Sir!”

This figure was behind Tang Shaoyang. He turned around to see and was surprised as well. The figure was Cloud, one of Systemʼs Avatar. He met Cloud at the end of the Trial of God.

”Are you going to protect my family?”

If Cloud protected his family, then he could leave at ease. However, Cloud shook its head.

”I am not, but Earth will be given protection. The protection means no one could sneak into your world, and no one could issue a challenge for War of Worlds for the entire duration of your Special Mission.”

”Of course, thereʼs a drawback in this protection. It means your world will be isolated. Earth canʼt be connected to the other worlds. And the protection applies to the world that is connected to Earth as well.”

Going to the other worlds was another shortcut for Tang Shaoyang. Just like his journey to Aqura and the Ortis Continent. But it was not that bad since he was not going anywhere anyway. The condition clearly favored in any way.

Cloud waved his hand at the two Executive Administrators, ”Take it easy. I am here to perform a task given to me.”

The System Avatar sat across Tang Shaoyang while the two executives sat back. All eyes were on Tang Shaoyang.

”If such a protection exists, then I will take the special mission!

There was no need to think. Since Cloud was part of the System, directly connected to it. There was no reason for him not to trust Cloud.

”Then the meeting is done. You can leave and prepare for your mission. I need to talk with them privately.”

Even though Cloud had no face, just a humanoid figure covered in cloud, somehow, Tang Shaoyang could picture a man in a uniform, smiling politely at him while telling him to leave.

”I still have one more question! Why do you help me again?”

Before he heard the answer, he was teleported out of the room back to the lounge.

*** ***

Arionʼs heart was beating hard, very hard, and very fast. This was not the first time the System Avatar visited the Administrator Space. However, each time the avatar came, it meant bad news or even maybe a disaster.

Clementine remained composed and stared at Cloud. There was a lot in her mind, and one of them was the same with Tang Shaoyang. She wondered why the System Avatar helped Tang Shaoyang. It went far to the point of granting protection for the world.

”Are you curious?”

Cloud asked as if Cloud could read what was in Clementineʼs mind.

”I have checked all the lists, and he is the right candidate to take the draft call to guard the Void Gate. If he refuses to take the mission, you will not have the replacement to take the draft call.”

Clementine frowned. While guardian the Void Gate was one of the most dangerous missions. They had many Administrators who could take on such a mission. Even if there was no Chief Administrator available for the mission, the Executive Administrator could take the mission.

”The Executive Administrator is not allowed to leave until the purging is over. All the Executive Administrators must perform their duty to help me with the purge. We will get rid of the parasites in the Administrator. Thatʼs my duty this time.”

Cloud raised his hand and all the remaining nine Executive Administrators were teleported into the room. Regardless of where they were, they appeared in the meeting room, confused.

They found their two colleagues and were about to vent their anger for forcefully teleporting them without prior notice. It was until Arion motioned toward the other side of the table with his head, telling them someone else was in the room.

Following Clementine and Arionʼs gazes, they found the System Avatar, Cloud. Among the five avatars, Cloud and Divine were merciful and amiable. Chaos, Void, and Death were the scariest in the five avatars, but all five were equally strong. Even though Cloud and Divine were amiable, their presence meant still bad news.

”Welcome to the Administrator Space, Sir!”

Cloud did not respond to the greeting and continued, ”In other words, Master has lost trust in you all, and I am here to fix your mess!”
