Chapter 449: Scouted (1/2)
...…
After settling at their new home, the trio immediately went to do their respective jobs.
Shin headed to the kitchen to prepare for their dinner since it was his main task.
On the other hand, Arthur contacted their family engineer as Shin tasked him to deal with the renovation of the other rooms.
They were also planning to build an underground gym, so he also needed to consult their engineer about that matter as well as the training equipment that they needed. He might be musclehead, but he was quite reliable when it came to these kinds of things.
Meanwhile, Leonard went outside to scout the whole place. Doing such a thing was actually unnecessary since the neighborhood that Shin chose had a high level of security.
But being a person trained in the military, such things became a protocol for Shin and Arthur. So, checking everything about the neighborhood and making sure that they didn't miss even a little thing became a regular routine for them whenever they arrived in a new place.
…
”How was it?” asked Shin at the two who just finished their respective task.
”Uncle Sam said that he is going to visit us tomorrow for personal inspection,” replied Arthur as he took a seat beside the table.
And after a slight pause, he suddenly added. ”He also said that he will personally choose the training equipment that we need. So, we don't have anything to worry about. Though, I will still check the quality of the equipment if they can meet our standards.”
Hearing that, Shin nodded his head before turning it towards Leonard. And when the latter saw that, he slightly pursed his lips before saying. ”The security is quite tight.”
”There are 5 security posts in total which are covering the entire neighborhood. And on top of that, there are also 3 batches of security personnel who are regularly patrolling the area whole every five or ten minutes.”
”The security cameras are also not that bad. I've checked every corner of the neighborhood and I didn't see any blind spots that can be taken advantage of. So, we shouldn't have any problem with that.”
”Though, I am not sure about their system security yet,” added Leonard as he took a seat on the chair across Arthur's.
”Don't worry about it. Uncle Sam will install our own security system when he arrives tomorrow anyway,” said Shin as he took his own seat.
After that, the three of them started eating their dinner before Arthur suddenly remembered something. ”Oh! So, how about you brief us on our upcoming opponents?”
Shin couldn't help but rolled his eyes at Arthur when he heard that. Then he turned his head towards Leonard who seemed to be waiting for his answer.
At that point, Shin could only shake his head helplessly before asking. ”Are the two of you really don't have any intention of doing your 'homework'?”
Hearing that, both Arthur and Leonard turned their heads towards his direction while wearing the same look they threw at him earlier.
Seeing that, Shin could only shake his head even further since he clearly understood the meaning of the look on their faces. ”You two sure are hopeless.”
Regardless, he still continued right after releasing a helpless sigh. ”There are a lot of talented individuals who are going to participate in the special selection exam. And most of them even came from other countries.”
”As for the main reason – I don't need to need to explain the details isn't it?” asked Shin to make sure that these two were at least not that clueless about the current situation.
Fortunately, the two nodded their heads the moment he asked about that.
Though, Leonard only knew that it was an international tournament that was being held once every 20 years. He asked his master about it before when it was mentioned accidentally. But his master never told him more than that no matter how much he inquired about it.
On the other hand, Arthur was fully aware of it. After all, he came from an Ancient Martial-Arts Family.
Moreover, how could Arthur miss such a 'wonderful' event? It was a great place where he could show his 'awesomeness' in front of the world after all. So, he would never overlook something like this.
Reading the different expressions that the two had. Shin could only shake his head even more and just continued. ”Alright, then let's start with those guys that you almost fought earlier.” Those three are called Three Kings around this area.”
