Chapter 1422  Completing A Monthly Quest

Author's Note: Unedited Chapter

------------------

After what seemed like ages, he suddenly opened his eyes.

"I told you, I don't want to be bothered until he returns…" "He has returned," Another masculine voice travelled across the volcanic domain as a figure descended from the opening above.

"Aildris?" The figure voiced a tone of disbelief after identifying the newly arrived person.

"Hello, Ria. It's been too long," Aildris's silver hair fluttered enchantingly as he floated before Ria.

Both of them emitted an undaunting and overbearing presence that made the surroundings chime in reverence.

"Did I just hear you say he has returned?" Ria questioned with intrigue.

"Has my rival truly returned?!" He stood to his feet immediately. Aildris whose eyes were shut as usual suddenly opened them. His pupils gathered all the colour in the universe, sparkling with such beauty that defied human comprehension.

"Yes, Gustav has returned," He stated with a smile.

"Then, does this mean it is time to get Angy and Falco back?" Anticipation began to build within Ria as he questioned.

"Why don't we go ask him ourselves," Aildris began floating upwards.

Ria grinned excitedly before crouching and leaping upwards. Thwwwoossshh~

Both their figures blasted off into the sky and soon vanished from sight.

....

"Good thing daily tasks stop... I can't find myself doing stupid things like this all the time," Gustav stood at the top of a skyscraper with a slightly irritated look.

("Maybe I should bring them back,") The system teased.

"Maybe I should bend you over and spank you when you're in physical form," Gustav stated.

("That is inappropriate...")

"It is what you deserve."

Silence.

Gustav decided to ignore the system and stared at the notification before him.

[Monthly Quest]

< Infiltrate The MBO Tower And Sabotage The Sign >

< Status: Uncompleted >

< Time Elapsed : 3 Weeks >

"What even is the point of this?" Gustav peered into the distance where the MBO tower was located.

The glowing MBO sign could be spotted vividly from his angle. It was a beacon of power and authority and now the system wanted him to mess with it.

("Maybe to teach you how to have fun a little,") The system chimed in.

"Fun is the last thing I need right now. Angy and Falco are still out there. Who knows what they are currently going through?" Gustav's face darkened as he recalled Angy's mother's tears.

("Exactly why you need it. You've been on this for a year. At least celebrate the fact that you're getting closer,") The system voiced once more.

"Tch, I'm only doing this because I have a bit of time on my hands since I'm waiting for Endric and E.E's return. If not, I wouldn't even give this the thought of the day. I don't care about failing," Gustav blurted with a disinterested look.

("Yeah, yeah. Just do it already,") One could almost sense the system rolling its pretty eyes at Gustav.

Gustav sauntered forward and leapt off the ledge of the skyscraper.

....

 [MBO Tower]

Holographic monitors flickered to life throughout a control room, displaying a dizzying array of data and visuals.

Charts, graphs, and schematics floated in mid-air, updating in real-time as officers monitored the status of various systems and operations.

At the heart of the control room stood the central command station, a massive console adorned with an array of buttons, switches, and holographic displays that served as the nerve centre of the operation.

Officers manned the station with unwavering focus, their eyes glued to the screens as they monitored the status of critical systems and operations.

"Officer Chen, Gradier Hao has requested that the footage documentation of case 1729p be sent to his office," An officer in an MBO outfit approached from the entrance.

"Not Gradier Hao again," The officer before the largest holographic screen lamented.

"Alright, no problem. Tell him it will be sent by the end of today," Officer Chen responded while moving towards another corner of the control room.

About twenty-six different MBO officers were working in the control room but it seemed like Officer Chen was the leader there.

He began to give out some set of instructions while also tapping on some controls himself.

He suddenly sensed a presence behind him and turned around, "I already told you, it will be sent by the end of the day."

"Actually... Commander Xanatus asked for you," The young officer who initially came in reported.

"Oh? Commander Xanatus?" Officer Chen's face showed that he was wondering why Commander Xanatus would request his presence.

"Alright," Officer Chen understood that requests from higher-ranked MBO officers took priority.

He walked out with the officer after rushing out instructions to some officers on what to do while asking a few to hold on till returned.

About a minute later, Officer Chen returned.

"Now, where were we?" He questioned while moving towards the largest control panel area.

....

-"Can you see that?"

-"What the fuck? Haha, the MBO tower has a different sign."

-"Milf Busters Organisation?"

-"This is hilarious hahaha!"

-"What is up with that sign?"

-"Eww... Matteo close your eyes!"

The entirety of Plankton City was in uproar at the moment as everyone stared at the sign on the MBO tower.

Since the letters were so bold and glowing, every person in the city could read them clearly. Many were completely astonished, while some found it hilarious, and others, disgusting.

The MBO tower was getting a bunch of calls from all across the city at the moment and even many people had taken photographs to post on the Internet. The MBO became a laughing stock for the netizens as even news and media outlets decided to pass it across even further.

"What do you think you're doing, Officer Chen?" A high-ranking MBO officer approached the control room and spotted Officer Chen just standing in place.

"Uh hmm? What is..." Officer Chen shook his head repeatedly while looking around and wondering why he was standing in the middle of the corridor.

"What is this immature and incredibly foolish stunt you just pulled?" The officer yelled in annoyance.

"Huh? What are you talking about, Sir Dexter?" Officer Chen couldn't even remember how he got to the corridor. He only recalled coming to and finding himself there.

"This is what I am talking about you idiot!" The high-ranking officer pulled out a holographic tablet that was currently displaying pictures of the MBO tower on the Internet.

Officer Chen's eyes widened in disbelief. As he stared at the pictures his jaw nearly dropped to the floor.

"What the hell?!" ....

"The rewards are not bad but I'm never doing anything like this again," Gustav stood atop a skyscraper in the form of Officer Chen.

His body slowly morphed back to his original look and he proceeded to take his MBO uniform off.

("Tell me you don't get a little kick from seeing that sign and the MBO getting bashed all across the world...") "I don't," Gustav's face remained straight.

("Don't lie,") The system cajoled.

"Pfft. Alright, it's a little funny," Gustav chuckled a little before going back to his usual poker face.

The system kept teasing him internally but he decided to ignore it.

"Status window..." Gustav muttered.

"I reached level one hundred and ninety-nine... I wonder if there will be any surprises when I reach two hundred," Gustav wondered out loud.

("Want me to tell you?") The system inquired internally.

"You've been nice lately. I'm starting to think you're an imposter," Gustav replied to the system.

("Alright I won't tell you then.")

"Tell me."

("No, you lost your chance.")

"You'd better spill."

("Make me.")

"I will."

("You couldn't even make Angy spill")

Gustav remained silent for a few seconds before responding.

'Now that's the mean bitchy system I remember.'

....

Gustav arrived back at E.E.'s apartment but sensed a presence within. Upon better perception, he sensed it wasn't one but two presences...

And from what he could sense, they were very powerful. Gustav hid his presence and stepped into the apartment without so much as making a sound.

The two presences in the apartment were now clearly visible to him. His eyes widened slightly after identifying them.

"Aildris? Ria?" Gustav called out with a tone of surprise. "Gustav?!"

"Rival?!"

Both figures voiced simultaneously. 'How did he get to our front without us noticing?' They both came to the realisation with expressions of bewilderment. To them it seemed like Gustav had just appeared in place, meanwhile, he walked in but didn't reveal his presence until he identified them.

"Rival!" Ria yelled once more and lunged forward in joy.
