The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL] novel Chapter 179

Chapter 179: Buffet

It was one hell of an afternoon for everyone in the know.

On the one hand, the newbie guild leader was all smiles as they completed their first-ever mission, but inwardly, Luca had wanted to bolt back into the space after a series of alarming prompts from D-29.

And alarming was actually just a nice way to put it.

But he had to see off their first client and would just have to hope that Jax was still alive.

He was.

But he was battling with one determined tortoise to save his children’s next-door neighbors.

So, Luca had to trust in him as they figured out how to deal with the family before them, who were partially mortified yet wholly grateful.

Theo was generally thankful and ready to prostrate in veneration for the people who helped him when no one else could.

Aside from that, he would offer to work in Noah’s family store for free as a thank-you for recommending this guild. And for being brave enough to walk through those doors that screamed potential crime scene.

The budding pharmacist was never going to forget this grace.

So, when the guild leader said, "Thank you for choosing DG. We’re glad to have you as our first customer," Theo could only promise to recommend them!

But because he was too blinded and elated at how everything had gone way smoother than expected, the young lad couldn’t see his father and brother flinching over to the side.

Flinching.

Fiddling.

And low-key hyperventilating.

Don’t get them wrong, they were extremely thankful and would be willing to etch the names of these people in their family history.

It was just that both the retired and active soldiers saw things—things that now had to be attributed to these young adults.

Kael tried looking at the younger men before him, apparently just freshmen at his brother’s Academy.

They were neat, good-looking, and honest—well, honest-looking, and that’s if he could just forget how the guardian tortoise disappeared at the hands of these younger boys.

But they weren’t one to bite the hand that just fed them, and his father especially promised to not speak of things until he died, or until they all died.

It was to respect the people who helped them and, hopefully, allow them to leave the ship in one piece.

However, they were surprised to hear an explanation from the young man who had earlier introduced himself as Xavier.

"It’s a project being worked on by the Duchy of Kyros, and we’d be thankful if you could keep the details a secret until all necessary developments have been dealt with."

Talen’s eyes widened at the explanation.

It was the Duchy of Kyros.

And before them stood Luca Kyros, the heir to the said House.

Then, it was no wonder they’d never seen such technology and style of fighting.

Was this the fruit of secluding for all those years?

It seemed so.

"I see, no wonder..." Talen trailed off before realizing he had to thank them even more.

"We sincerely thank all of you for even using such technology to aid us. And we look forward to hearing more good things."

Praying for it, in fact.

Because what they saw back there looked so much like the future they thought would never come.

"We’re hoping for the same thing, and while we’d be thankful if you could recommend our services when applicable, we’d prefer if you kept the other things a secret," Kyle smiled as he clapped on the fat wads of documents, which he even printed out on hard copy as a stark reminder.

The father and eldest son understood and nodded in complete understanding.

It wouldn’t be good to call attention to developing technology.

What if the federation got any ideas? Thought a retired soldier who knew that beasts weren’t the only enemies around here.

However, Talen wasn’t the only one thinking up worst-case scenarios.

Probably not.

Definitely not.
