Chapter 1700 Who Will Know? -Part 22
The atmosphere was tense, everyone knew that the time was ticking and there was still no sign of Jin. This temporary peace was not a solution and even the Parry City Citizens understood. It was like a time out for the Parry City people to know that their citizen was definitely going to be invaded and this particular 15 minutes of truce was just to let the reality set in before Daimon troops were to go in.
All it needed was a word from the General and the military would risk their lives avenging their Interim Leader. And that timer was soon to hit zero… until a live public broadcast came about. The looks of the Parry City people were hopeful that their leader was alive but the one who came out of that screen was General Ost.
It could possibly be one of the worst outcomes for the people of Parry City.
"Ladies and Gentlemen. It is to my regret that I have found some discerning news about Parry City. Whether their people know or not is of another issue but the fact that their military had been performing some sinister plot had been made clear to us."
"As much as everyone is tired and wants to go home, and that includes me. It's disheartening to announce that Parry City had been engaging in the production of the disaster that had ruined their city and as we speak, we found out that they had been producing not just one but several of these mechanical dragons." General Ost said as pictures started to pop out and documents with redacted names were appearing.
"It seems that the Army Commander of Parry City, General Toba had been actively siphoning money from the military budget to fuel this. But that's not all. There was an unknown sum of money going in and out of bank accounts which needs to be investigated as soon as possible. And this cannot be done unless the Banks of Parry City decide to cooperate with us."
"However, it seemed obvious that General Toba would assume leadership now that he had accused us of creating this 'disaster' and Air Force General Inus remained to be contacted, which we assume may have been imprisoned or killed due to the mutiny of General Toba." Ost said with a regrettable tone. "Multiple attempts to communicate with them had been deemed impossible and so we have no choice but to-"
"Before we get to the word, 'invasion'. Can I have a say in this?" Another livestream came out and it was Jin who seemed to be injured and his mechanoids were still carrying him.
"Interim Leader?" General Ost's face finally showed signs of relief and every Daimon Citizen who was worried throughout that dreaded 15 minutes started to clap and cheer for their temporary lord.
"Yes, yes that's me. Do you need me to show you my ID Card in public? Oh shit, I did not bring it with me." Jin tried to touch his pockets. "Oh no… does that mean I am an illegal immigrant on foreign soil? AHHHHHHHH!"
"Stop your shouting already." Yinn smacked him on his head as he tried to relieve the people's worries. Some of them even laughed at this short comical relief that he was attempting to do.
"Anyways, sorry about that. It took me a while to regain consciousness from going through that blast. Did you guys see that? It was hella crazy that I could imagine how I could have overcome without the help of my Mechanoids. They are one bad ass customised group of bi…beauties! Courtesy of Master Mecha Smith Flammet for creating them. Ow! Why did you hit me again."
"Because you are not acting like an interim leader," Yinn said and more of the audience laughed. Even Grieves gave a short grin.
"Im destressing okay. That was one crazy blast. You have to admit that. In any case, yeah General Ost is right. Those facilities shit. It is right under your basement. One of my mechanoids was able to find it and we are going there as we speak." Jin said as he hobbled a little while streaming live.
"Oh and about that money thingy? We happened to see the bank on the way to the underground facility. There were no tellers so we helped ourselves to it. Sorry about that and it is sad to admit that It's a one man...well one faction show. They were taking money from the Royals to do this bullshit."
"CUT THE LIVESTREAM" General Toba shouted but the tactical officers were unable to do it. "HOW THE HELL DID HE KNOW?" However, what he did not expect was that Air Force General Inus was recording every single thing that was happening in the war room. It was extremely satisfying to see General Toba go bonkers.
"So, yeap. That Edmond guy? The one that I was supposed to be investigating? He was also related to the Royals and he flew off in that crystal dragon suit or whatever that is." Jin said nonchalantly but the next few lines were serious.
"And from our other investigations, it also suggests that the Royals might have instigated the monster outbreaks in Daimon. So, you know what Royals? I am going to destroy your precious dragons and if you are still pissed at me for disturbing your plans. I am going to find more of those and make sure that you drop your crown and bow to me for forgiveness. For all the souls that had sacrificed themselves because of the power play you are doing." Jin was mad saying it out loud.
"If you are not happy, come to Daimon. I am willing to entertain you. In fact, I think the entire city is willing to entertain you." Jin then shut the live broadcast.
"We did not go to the bank though," Diaz said. "Do you want me to go to the bank?"
"And what can you do? All you have in your brain are just more bullets." Click chuckled and Diaz rolled her eyes.
"Nah, it was a bluff mixed in with the truth. They probably destroyed the records at the bank to hide the stuff. But hey, let's see how they react." Jin smiled as he got out of his act and started to walk properly.
"You have too much fun." The Grey Bears said in unison.
