Chapter 1698 Who Will Know? -Part 20
"Egoistic…Dumb Trios around Jin… Can it be?" General Ost suddenly felt confident of the answer so he went to his holographic console despite the chaos that was happening within the war room. At that instant, he typed the word E G O into the password form and suddenly the encryption lock came undone which made him laugh.
"Ha.. haha…HhahhahahahahHAHAA!!"General Ost laughed so hysterically that he felt like a fool thinking so hard of the answer. Page was literally talking about the trio who had been meeting Jin up for military issues.
Eggshells, Grieves, Ost = E G O.
"What an egoistic way of seeing things. To think that she does not put Denise as part of the trio." Ost said to himself as he now had all the data in front of him despite it being scrambled and not making sense.
"Analysts! This is of top priority! Crack this and make bloody sense of it and perhaps we can get out of this stupid mess." General Ost stated while he took charge of the War Room and called the Central Defence Officer to perform mass surveillance to ensure that no trooper of theirs would disobey his orders.
"General Grieves." The Commanders did not say a single word but the General himself could see that they were dying to take revenge.
"No. Hang in there. We had seen how Jin had made miracles. You people who were monitoring the Eastern Region would know it best. You saw how he disappeared and reappeared again as if nothing had happened. He had not used that trick yet in this battlefield so there is still hope that he is alive." Grieves said and those commanders could only hold onto his words.
Eventually, that information of Jin using a particular trick by General Grieves had been slowly spreading around the military men to calm them down. They all eventually remembered what had happened at the Eastern Front and continued to have hope in their hearts.
As for the Parry City Citizens, some pleaded if they could now return to their city since the incident had been done while some stated that they were firefighters and wished to return to aid with the fire fighting efforts that the city had suffered.
But even as the Daimon military had their anger temporarily placated by Jin's possible special tricks, they were not going to let those citizens return. "If you really want to die. Be my guest but be warned. The moment we were given the order to go in, we would take anybody and EVERYBODY in the city as a threat. We will spare no one if we had confirmed that our Lord Jin had died." The immigration officer shouted at those who were asking to return.
That threat itself was more than enough to keep the crowd at bay and they quietly returned to their spots knowing when to not incite any more trouble at this volatile period.

"Fuck… I thought we were dead." Jin said as he lay down on the floor filled with debris in broken down mansion.
"Looks like my upgrade card works…" Yinn said as she picked up the plate on the ground, now defunct after it had been used to save Jin and the rest of the Grey Bear Squad.
"What kind of upgrade is that? It feels super duper overpowered to be able to get us away from the blast." Tellie asked as she felt her logic systems were in a mess.
"Restore Point. That's the upgrade card that I received the day I got into Parry City. The System stated that this upgrade card can only be used once per week and I think the System had already chosen a class for me." Yinn sighed as she finally relaxed her entire body after that intense bout of running, covering and shaking enemies away.
"What is it?" Everyone asked since they already knew what they were.
"Manipulator…?" Yinn said and all of them gave each other the look as if the System had finally chosen the right class for their vice leader of the Grey Bear Squad.
"That sounds about right. Always manipulating our feelings so that we can work for you." Click replied nodding her head.
"Yes Yes. Like that time she threatened me to not give me any pudding." Tellie nodded her head too.
"And the -ow! Why do I get hit?" Diaz said and Yinn smiled.
"Because you are the nearest to me." She eventually stood up and saw the massive smoke that the explosion had made. Her skill restore point had enabled her as well as any other people within a radius of 10 metres to be teleported to a certain location. However, that particular location had to be marked beforehand otherwise she would be unable to use the skill at all.
"That reminds me of the System's Teleport. Oh, I miss that way of travelling…" Jin said and the rest were curious how it worked so he explained to them.
"Holy shit. Isn't that similar to being the master of time and space?"
"Yeah, to be able to travel whenever and wherever you want as long as the System has the coordinates."
"Hey, it does not work in here. So, having that restore point skill is more than just a boon. It's a benefit and skill that is very useful. Nice to have you Manipulator Yinn." Jin grinned widely and Yinn smirked back.
"Are you guys okay?" Page's chatter was registered on the System's communication channel. "There was this big sudden explosion which rocked the entire underground facility."
"Yeah, we nearly caught it in and for now, we killed off our signals. Radio silent since the baiting was unexpectedly successful." Jin said and Page was happy to know Commander was still alive.
"Since you are still alive and kicking, then I guess I can start sharing what I learned before I got caught. I had sent documents to General Ost and hopefully, he is able to decipher the password so they can analyse it but the gist is that Mecha Fire Dragon is not the only one." Page stated.
