"The situation is looking extremely dangerous right now." The commander looked at Mayor Revan with a solemn expression. "Since we already know who is the culprit, why don’t we capture them already?"
"It can’t be done." The mayor shook his head. "We don’t have enough proof to show that they’re the culprits. In addition, if we move right now, we will be notifying the enemies that we’re ready to intercept them. It’ll be troublesome if they suddenly change their plans at the last minute."
The commander gritted his teeth. "This is annoying. In the end, we’ll be at the mercy of those capitalists."
"What you should worry about is the incoming beast wave. The moment they’re coming, the police will sweep in and stop them from leaving the town." The mayor’s expression turned serious.
"I know. My force is already to lock down the city. However, are you sure we’ll be able to withstand this attack?"
"Who knows?" The mayor shook his head helplessly. "You should go back. We need to keep the casualties low."
"Tsk." The mayor clicked his tongue. No matter how hard he persuaded the mayor, it wouldn’t be possible.
As soon as he left the mayor’s office, the mayor’s expression turned solemn. "How many people will die because of this? I don’t know if this is the correct choice either."
Meanwhile, the commander was walking down the hallway, his face turning grim the more he thought about it. They had thought that the beast wave would come sooner or later, just like what happened to other cities near the province.
However, he never thought that the beast wave was controlled by people. He couldn’t imagine the cruelty of this person who orchestrated the entire thing.
"Sir…" His assistant greeted him.
"Where is the vice commander?"
"Standing by in the underground city in case the enemies also attack from there."
"Our troops?"
"We have been assigning people to their new posts, but they are starting to question the meaning of the new post. I’m afraid that rumors are going to spread soon."
"It can’t be helped. For now, focus on the preparation. Even if the rumor is going to appear, the beast wave will definitely come."

"Understood. What about our scout?"
"There is no report yet." He shook his head helplessly.
"Monitor the situation. Check on them. According to the prediction, the beast wave will be coming today or tomorrow."
"I understand." His assistant started calling a few people to check the situation, but the more people he called, the more his concern arose.
Even the commanders, who were beside him, couldn’t help but pay special attention to them.
"Sir." His assistant gulped down. "We have managed to contact most of our scouts, but there are areas where I’m unable to contact them."
"Where is it?"
"Northeast."
"Shit." The commander clicked his tongue. "Start mobilizing our soldiers. I’ll be talking with the mayor."
"Yes, sir." He nodded with a serious expression.
The commander hurriedly dashed back to the mayor’s office and shouted, "Sir!"
Before the mayor could react, they suddenly heard an alarm echoing across the city. The deafening alarm only meant one thing.
The mayor stood up. "Commander. Please go to your spot. I’ll be calming down the citizens."
"Understood." There was nothing the commander could say at this point. He had never thought that the enemies managed to get ahead of them right away.
As expected, the alarm made the people panic.
"What is going on?"
"This alarm… Is it another beast wave?"
"But we just experienced another beast wave not long ago."
"We have to run!"
"Run away!"
"We will need to run away!"
The roaring engines and sirens of the military and police were filling the street.
"Citizens. Keep calm and head back to your home. It’s only a small beast wave. We’ll neutralize it as quickly as possible." They kept announcing the same line over and over again.
Enraged, the citizens shouted, "What do you mean we need to stay at home?"
"We have to get away!"
"How many beasts are coming this time?"
The citizens were trying to find the information. Media set off, trying to find the information at the top of the tower.
Unfortunately for them, the gates had been shut down, the military had filled up the seat, and the walls were restricted.
People started getting anxious, wondering what was happening in the city. No one had access to the information.
And that was when the information started leaking out.
"The government is hiding a beast wave at the scale of more than a hundred thousand beasts?"
"We’re gonna die."
"We have to get out of the city before the beast completely surrounds us."
"Where do they come from?"
"We have to go to the south gate."
"No. We should go to the east gate!"
"Just get going!"
The city became chaotic in almost an instant. In the city, there was a man that suddenly destroyed a window of a convenience store while shouting, "This city is done for."
That action encouraged the others to start looting the store.
That one action influenced others to follow, which caused a riot inside the city.
The police were moving fast to secure the situation. At the same time, they had to handle the traitors of the city as well.
Several police cars appeared in front of the Drake group’s headquarters as well as the Rusth family.
"President Thomas. Come out! We have found proof of your involvement in creating this beast wave."
"Mr. Raymond Rusth. We have proof of your involvement in creating this beast wave."
The police announced it out loud to sway the opinions of the people around the area. However, both places had the same tactic. Even though they announced it out loud, they didn’t plan to wait until they came out.
They had sent teams to swipe the entire place, arresting all the people inside.
This was a trap to bait them out. If they resisted, it just proved their non-existent proof. If they didn’t resist, they knew that they would be in a dangerous situation.
In other words, they had no choice but to fight back.
President Thomas cracked his fingers while saying in a cold tone, "It seems that everyone has forgotten that even though I’m the youngest, I’m still one of the few Tier 6 humans in this city."
