"The mule." Jay squinted his eyes.
"I’m glad that you know me." The mule smiled. "If you are searching for the banned machine, it is hidden in the basement. With your current strength, you might be able to bring it here by yourself."
"You are not going to help me?"
"Ahahaha. The moment I show myself, I’ll be screwed. However, there are things I can help with." The mule smiled while taking out a piece of paper. "This is the instruction on how to operate that machine. Its battery has been recharged as well. The machine is very durable, so you can be a bit rough."
Jay clenched his fists. Although he wanted to capture this mule who was involved in this mess, he had no time because of the west wall’s condition.
Ultimately, he chose to enter the building, finding the basement where the machine was located.
It took him five minutes to go around, but he finally saw the machine that matched the picture on the guide that the mule gave him.
The machine wasn’t big, but it needed an antenna, so Jay had to make two trips to bring it out by himself.
After getting what he wanted, Jay returned to the group. They hadn’t fought with the Panorama Group, but the tension was still in the air. They had to ensure that the Panorama Group didn’t do anything.
"Jay?!" Melody was surprised that Jay returned alone. Her face went pale, thinking of the worse.
Fortunately, Jay immediately clarified, "Clovis is fine. He is doing something else."
"I see." Melody let out a sigh of relief.
Jay turned to the Panorama Group and said, "If you are really making your stance clear, it means that you don’t mind fighting for the city, right?"
The middle-aged man squinted his eyes. He didn’t know why Jay was asking this question, but he confirmed it with a nod. "Yeah."
"In that case, there is a perfect role for your group."
"Who are you to order us?" One of them raised his voice, not liking how Jay was ordering their leader.
"I think I have the right to order you guys right now. Besides, this is an order from my captain." Jay’s expression turned cold.
He was indirectly implying that the Havenson and the Renvolt families would be the rulers of this city once they drove out the Drake Group and the Rusth family.
The Panorama Group could do something, but as long as Clovis was alive and continued rising through the ranks, there was no way the Panorama Group could do anything against them.
If they displeased them right now, Clovis might hold a grudge and remove them from this city.
The middle-aged man understood the hidden message, so he had no choice but to ask, "What do you want us to do?"
"I want you to bring around the banned machine to distract those beasts. If we can somehow distract those beasts and guide them around to the place where the defenses are the strongest, the walls won’t be destroyed," Jay explained.
"A banned machine? Are you going to put us into trouble?" The middle-aged man frowned. If they were found to be bringing the banned goods, people could use it to destroy their reputation.
Jay had thought about this and found one solution. "No. We’ll also cooperate with the military, specifically the commander.
"However, the commander will be having his hand full against those beasts, so no one is strong enough to protect the machine."
"!!!" The middle-aged man finally understood Jay’s plan. "So you want us to protect that machine?"
"Yes."
"That’s suicidal. If we get the attention of thousands of beasts, five of us won’t be enough."
"As I said earlier, we’ll bring it around. Of course, we’ll use a truck. We’ll have the commander as the witness and claim that the military has seized the banned goods. You are to drive around while protecting the machine.
"The machine is quite sturdy, so if we use big foams, it should be able to withstand some impacts." Jay explained the plan.
The people from Libation Fiesta were quite shocked by the proposal. This was indeed a Clovis-like plan. They didn’t know what Clovis was doing, but it was clear that he must be doing something big. They had no choice but to trust Clovis.
After thinking about the proposal, the middle-aged man said, "Alright. I shall agree to it."
"Sir…"
"I have made my decision." The middle-aged man knew their worries, but they had no choice.
If they rejected this proposal, they would be seen as a threat. If they accepted it, while it was quite dangerous, Jay had told them to just drive around.
In other words, Clovis’ plan was to give them an opportunity that was hard but not impossible. This way, they had proven their sincerity if they succeeded.

Jay nodded. "In that case, everyone except for Erwin is to go to the west wall. The machine is right in front of the entrance of the Drake Group’s headquarters. We’ll discuss this matter with the commander after reaching the west wall."
The group agreed. Erwin was baffled by the decision to leave him here, but he shouldn’t ask it out loud with the Panorama Group here.
He quietly approached Jay and asked, "Why am I left alone here?"
"You should watch over the fight between two Tier 6 humans. If something happens, you need to help or inform us. Of course, this also means that you might have to go outside the jamming range to inform us something.
"In addition, this place is not that far from Clovis’ house. Clovis is unable to fight anymore, so he is resting in his house. If something happens, at least you’re close enough to reach him."
"!!!" Erwin didn’t expect that Jay was lying about Clovis’ situation. Then again, it would just hit their morale.
Seeing how Jay came back so quickly, it seemed that Clovis either had defeated the Tier 5 assassin alone or he had injured him enough for Jay to swiftly cut him down.
After considering the situation, Erwin nodded. "I understand. I’ll take care of this area."
