Chapter 1968: Finally, The Supposed Discussion -Part 3

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

"So, what's the agenda of the meeting?" Jin asked as he yawned a little knowing that this might not actually be the right time for him to conduct the meeting after what he had gone through. The fatigue was setting in faster than he had expected and he honestly wanted to lie on the bed and escape from this discussion.

However, duty calls and he was already using his chi to circulate through his body to keep himself awake.

"We have general city affairs which I can explain more about since I am the leader of Demopolis and also the Interim Leader for each of the seven cities that we had acquired through unorthodox means," Rex said and Jin tilted his head to the side with his brows furrowed.

"Then what about Pandapolis? From what I know, Qiu Yue had her hands into the city for a bit but she is not the leader."

"Unfortunately, User is still the leader." The System reported. "However, due to your consistent absence regardless of the Celestials' trick of teleporting you into the Synthesis World, the System had already relegated most of the responsibilities to Rex as well. He did not say out of courtesy of the actual lord that was reigning the area."

"Oh, Rex. We might not be best of buds but you have to sound out if you are overworked. Kraft will come and kill me if I make you work till you drop to the ground." Jin said in concern for Rex and the others laughed.

"Boss, you do not have to worry about Rex a single bit. This is nothing compared to what he had to coordinate in the past. In fact, this might feel like a warm up exercise to him." Pei commented and the others nodded their heads.

"Right now, we have consistent communication with the advances of technology but back then, the cultivators and households that were under the Fox's name were all handled by Rex.

If not for this guy single handedly push the collective group, our fight against the Royal Zodiacs would have already been over a long time ago." Itori said and added that there was a time when Rex had to handle a hundred over households to coordinate the resistance efforts.

"Alas, things happened." Rex smiled bitterly and Pei tapped his shoulders. "Let bygones be bygones, you had technically paid for your actions while being entrapped by the System. You see yourself, working well..not to the bone yet, but still working hard for your new master. I do not see any problem with that." Pei remarked and Rex thanked her for the compliments.

"Sorry, my lord. Looks like we have digressed a little. Yes, I am currently controlling and overseeing the affairs of Pandapolis as well." Rex said with a little pride in his voice and Jin nodded his head with satisfaction. It was not that Jin did not wish to handle the city but he did not have the capabilities, the knowledge to fully run a city.

Not to mention, the amount of management needed just to keep everything moving smoothly? That was something one person could not handle.

If not for the System and a few trustworthy demons at the helm like Moloch to handle the start, Jin would have already lost Pandapolis. But now, it was running albeit slower than clockwork but it was still functioning.

"As for the rest and if you have forgotten…"

"Not forgotten, just needed a bit of a reminder" Jin gave a cheeky smile knowing that he really could not remember what they were doing despite the so call 'photographic' memory that he had. (Well, he had the System to remind him of things.)

"Tsu and Kai handle the Internal Affairs department, so they will talk to you about that shortly. According to them, there were a lot of things to report as well as the need for additional manpower.

Pei as you have known, is in the Health Ministry, Ixa is performing rather well in the transportation side of things while Ixel coordinated with Tsu and Kai using whatever police forces he could muster." Rex gave a quick summary.

"It's funny how we do not have agriculture or labour lead," Jin asked and everyone pointed at Evon who was scolding furiously on the phone. "I thought he is considered the Science department?"

"He is, but then he realised that there were so many things lacking considering the advancement of technology in your world. As much as his attitude is extremely terrible, that monster of a fox is actually handling everything technical when he feels that it's a problem." Rex's body language finally relaxed despite the stiff start they had.

"You mean…" Jin could not follow.

"Yes, he is actually handling stuff that requires machines. And that is a heck of lot of things." Pei said that even the setting up of hospitals could not happen without Evon. "He has a knack for creating things and those 'things' do not come out from mid air. We have to make them or buy them.

He had been scouring through all the rubbish in the black market as well as your world's markets to get the cheapest possible route to technological advancement."

"Lol, his motto is 'Regardless it takes even if I got to work a few people to death. Oh wait, death is not an option in this world. Muahahahahah!;' " Ixel mimicked Evon and it was like despite there was a complete sound barrier surrounding Evon, it seemed like he was able to sense Ixel insulting him and turned to stare at him.

"I guess, I should keep quiet." Ixel had his head down and Evon returned to his phone call shouting at them.

"Still, I pity the workers under him though. They must have it rough." Jin commented and Rex stifled out a quick laugh.

"Master, you do not have to. Those people under Evon are probably one of the highest salary earners within the many cities we control. Not only that, they were guaranteed complete health benefits and even had overtime pay. Evon fought for these rights stating that if you want a city that is competent for living, then you got to pay competent wages.

If they cannot take the stress then let the System do a quick upload of all the information and we pass it to another who has a better handle on this.' That was what he said and so far, his group of hundred is one of the most hardworking and sad to say, produced the most results for this collation of cities."

"Yeah, they were the ones who assisted in building a freaking new sewer system and Qiu Yue was not even at the helm. All he requested were extremely hardworking beavers and he made sure that it worked."

"So…considering his nature, I assumed that freaking new sewer system had other features as well…?"

"Hahaha…yes. Defence systems were in place within the sewers and there were alternative hidden routes that required high level access to enter. Those parts of the sewers are currently like storage warehouses that keep food, oil supplies, and even weapons." Tsu sounded out as this was a part of his internal affairs job.

"So, am I right to say that Rex is like the administrator of all the cities combined while Evon is actually the one that sets everything down in motion? And that includes cross department stuff?" Jin questioned and almost everyone nodded their heads.

"The only exception is General Vual. He handles the military side of things. We find him extremely capable in coordinating troops and have high administrative knowledge that I believe there was no need for me to step out of my boundaries and take account of the military." Rex remarked.

"Ah…Vual. That is one name I have not heard for the longest time." Jin knew that this was the Demon who wanted the best for Demopolis after everything that had happened with Baal and Kiva.

"Yes, he had been rather happy that you had taken the Demopolis Army out for 'walks' once in a while so that he could see not only the results of his oversight as well as gather information on how to improve on things, especially like their formation or the need to improve on their training," Rex said.

"And not to mention, the humans from the Seven Cities serving the military were rather compliant to a Demon. It was totally unheard of in the Dungeon World, especially for those who had served the Church of the Afterlife."

"Ah, you reminded me of that. Please remember to discuss about the Church and its organisation after we clean our internal city issues." Jin said and he nodded his head.

"Don't worry about that. There are a lot of things happening for the Church of the Afterlife but we have to say, we need to have our hats off just for Kraft with regards to this.

If not for him consistently attacking the Money Tower, the Church of the Afterlife might actually be busy aiming their reticules towards us since we had technically stolen seven cities under their noses." Rex said and he started to bring out more documents that he wished to discuss.
