Chapter 1669 Search for Crystal Dragon -Part 1
Once Jin was done with yet another useless meeting which he had to call the shots again with regards to Daimon City's development, he noticed that a lot of things were just being held on with sticks and stones. A nasty blow of the wind could potentially cause this castle of cards to be gone in a jiffy and he had no idea how Daimon City was able to stay as it was until now.
A stroke of luck? He was not sure about that.
But what he knew was that Yinn and the other Grey Bears had decided to look for him so that he could move to the hotel where they were residing for one good hearty dinner. Lynn was still finishing up the last portion of the meal while Commander Eggshells or Mr. Eggy had served the table alongside Diaz and Click.
"Join us Commander Eggshells," Jin said as he sat at the tip of the table. "You assisted with the cooking and therefore deserved the right to partake in the food with us."
Commander Eggshells was a little hesitant until he saw that Denise came in as well and greeted the Grey Bears. The final blow came when Lynn shouted from the kitchen. "Mr Eggy. You better join us or else you would not know the effort you put in your training." It was then he decided that he was not exactly intruding on the dinner and thanked them for allowing him to join.
Lynn finally served the last dish on the table which was Crispy Lizard Meat Karaage. It smelled totally like chicken to them and Jin did not even bat an eye when he picked up the Karaage. "Ehh, what are you guys waiting for?" Jin asked when everyone seemed to be quiet. "Come on, let's eat."
"Let's eat." Lynn who finally sat down repeated what Jin said and the rest started to move their plates and utensils.
"User, apparently the culture here is that the person who made the food is the one who is able to commence the devouring of food." The System stated and Jin felt that his choice of words 'devour' was overly strong and comical.
However, no one cared nor stopped Jin since they probably knew that he did not know about the culture here except for Mr Eggy who was slightly confused. Other than that, it was business as usual, talking over stuff during dinner and Yinn had decided to bring up the search for the Mechanical Crystal Dragon.
"You what? Why was this not in my brief? Page?" Jin asked and Page stated that it was a recent finding mere hours ago and it was not urgent that it should included in the evening summary briefs today.
"Because there were no exact sightings of the Mechanical Crystal Dragon, we could not ensure that this was it. That he had decided to appear on Parry City's grounds." Page stated.
"Well, thank goodness it's Parry City. We should be able to get through without much diplomatic problems." Jin said and Denise corrected him.
"You mean your squad. Not you and your squad." Denise stated.
"What? Why? Why can't I go with them?"
"Because you are the Interim Leader of Daimon?" Commander Eggy said and Denise nodded her head so fiercely, that Jin had nowhere to run."
"Damn, Page and Yinn. You could have offered when Denise is not here."
"We believed it was best to tell the both of you rather than just one of you."
"Commander Eggshells, I suggest you should follow them. Since your master Lynn is going, it will be an eye opener on how she operates and how she fights her opponents." Denise ignored Jin's pleas and asked Mr Eggy to go instead.
"But Mdm, I have other duties to attend to as well." Mr Eggy argued but Denise was not going to take no for an answer.
"And so is the search for the Mechanical Crystal Dragon is as important as your other duties. In fact even more important because it is with regards to the reputation of Diamondz Corp. If the Mechanical Crystal Dragon had been seen terrorising cities, especially an Allied one like Parry City, it would bring untold diplomatic consequences. Are you willing to take charge of those consequences?"
"No, Mdm." Mr Eggy now realised why he was sitting here. However, it really was a coincidence that the order had been given to Commander Eggshell at this current moment.
"Denise, I suggest not to pressure Mr Eggy if possible. The Grey Bears can handle it."
"You are not officially Daimon Military, nor are you Diamondz Corps Security. Over here, you are regarded as the Interim Leader's personal squad and that is prestige. However, if you go to Parry City, you will have no friends at all. By putting Commander Eggshells with you guys, you at least have the immunity of Diamondz Corps at your possession and if anything goes wrong, Diamondz on behalf of Daimon City can bail you out in a pinch."
"Not to mention, Commander can send a request to the Parry City's officials so that they can grant us some authority for the investigation." Page said and Jin unwillingly nodded his head although he had not been listening for the past few sentences due to the power of the Lizard Karaage.
"Then won't it be better if we have Daimon Military instead?" Click asked while her mouth is filled with food. "Since we are allied with Parry City politically, shouldn't military people be a better choice? We can act under Daimon Military as investigators."
"Don't be a fool. We may seem allied with Parry City but it's best to use the powers of the private corporation rather than a city state. For reasons not to smear Daimon's name." Page replied and Denise agreed with it.
"At most, Diamondz had to pay some compensation but if we go in as Daimon, the political backlash would be enormous if you know the Mechanical Crystal Dragon truly existed within Parry City's backyard."
"I will do as you command." Commander Eggshells was not hesitant any longer. "I will get it done and will start contacting Parry City's Diamond Corp units."
"Thank you," Denise replied and everyone continued with their dinner with some small talk.
