chapter 5: Misdirection

"Ahh.. Hello kind sir, are you.. Pe- Perry's father ? Are you a freaking mech pilot? Do you have gundams here?... Ah sorry."

Wan immediately went back to his own senses.

"I mean, hello I'm Wan Congming, your son's friend. It seems like you really have what I need."

Wan asked curtly.

"My son told me everything but, as you can see, I'm a businessman. I negotiate with profits, even if you're his friend I wont give you anything for free."

"I already know that, that is why I decided to come here, before I depart."

"Depart? Do you think i would believe that? World transfer thing. Stop wasting my time, tell me your backer and who needs my weapons"

obviously, Perry's father doubted all of this.

"It's really me. If you don't believe me, you just need to wait a few hours more."

"Hah kid, for my Son's sake I would wait. How much time more?"

"More than 7 hrs left"

"Haaa, okay, so what do you plan to do the remaining 7 hrs?"

"Let me pack the guns"

"Fine"

Perry's father went back to the command chamber after that.

"Give him the guns, alert the base to code Red. Open all bugs 100km around the base. Unroot lvl1 blue missiles. ETA 7hrs. Move." Perry's father said calmly.

"Umm.. Sir. Do we give him everything on the list? Even this?"

a man pointed something on the list and it seems that he is quite afraid.

"Let him, he cant hurt the base with a just lvl 3 weapon"

"But sir,.."

"We have plenty of those, just give him 1 bunk and a full dozen of rounds. It would be fine. Don't forget to give him the automatic one."

-

As the weapons were being delivered to him. Wan was busy inspecting the knife and blade section. Trying to put the machete's on where he found those things comfortable, eventually he placed 2 machetes on his left waist strap.

"Maybe this would do"

"Those could be better on your back"

Wan was startled again, almost drawing the machete out.

"What is wrong with you and your father? You both have powers to sneak up without anyone knowing?. Ah, if I remember correctly, there's only two types of events where you come to me. Its either you shout my name from afar or just appear instantly after I mumble something."

Wan then remembered how he and Perry always meet.

"Hahaha, my father taught me. Its just a simple misdirection."

"Well anyway, I've checked up these goods and everything contained ammunition and disassembled heavy weapons. Speaking of heavy, where are the light ones?"

"It's here"

2 handguns appeared from Perry's back to his hand magically.

"Whoa, you can really make things appear without warnings huh"

"Misdirection my friend"

Wan inspected the 2 handguns meticulously.

"The barrel of the handgun was a long--- forget about it, both handguns were the same model that you can see on Angelina Jolie on tomb raider, as you specified it on the list"

"I just wrote what came to mind."

"Here's a smaller one"

Wan was not shocked to see a revolver appear on Perry's hand.

"Only one? You see, I've 2 machetes, 2 handguns and only one revolver."

"You can just equip it as a main weapon. I mean, you look cooler when those weapons are balanced on your body. You see here. 2 on your back, 2 on your legs and revolver on your hand. Now here's my favorite."

Perry again magically produced a body belt containing almost 25 small throwing knives.

"You can use this as a hidden weapon. Ill give you a military suit appropriate for your get up."

This time, Perry didn't produce a suit from his hands but a man came from behind and handed him a suit case.

Perry then opened the suit case to show wan a full black hooded cape attire and a seemingly fit Kevlar vest for the chest part. A pair of combat boots with retractable spikes and a belt with a tight cable mechanism able to pull things up to 300kgs of weight.

"This is an assassin type B class 2 suit. Its typically low level but it can do according to your requirements of agile military suits."

"I just wrote light military uniform, but seriously. Who the heck are you and your father? You're not normal to be able to produce this much."

"You are the one not normal to ask an artillery weapon to you're college classmate. "

"Hmm, that's reasonable. Anyway I can't give your father anything in exchange for all of these. Maybe I'll just take them away for free for now. Do you mind?"

"Are you really serious about that transfer thingy?"

"Yes, you know what. Maybe I can sell your father information in exchange for all of these."

"What information? My father have all sorts of networks he can find an--"

"Shhh, I know, but information about the other world is not something your father has connections to, am I right?"

"That really is the case, but how can you provide that?"

"After I got transferred right in front of you, I'm sure there would be a second one. That's always the case, I cant think of any other reason why they gave me so much time to prepare. Maybe its to tell me that I could be the first or the second already. Meaning that there would always be someone next. This information can save your life and your father. This could be a good bargain already."

"If that is the case then it really is."

Perry said while stroking his chin.

"I've got something I need to give to you."

Wan handed him an envelope and a key

"Its the key to my room and a letter for my parents"

"Why the key?"

"If I really got transferred. The information I can exchange to you would be my novels. And also check out your email. I gave you a copy of the guide I made. Tell my parents that I'm going somewhere far. Take care of them."

"I will, but are you really serious about this transfer thingy? You said its only about few hours from now but i still cant believe this."

Perry asked again and again that it became irritating to Wan's ears.

"It's fine, it can also and illusion or something I made up. But I can't get rid of this system announcement or what you so call this is. I don't even know what should I feel right now."
