Chapter 1766 King Of Bearling -Part 4
"I heard," Denise said as she made a call to Jin the following day after Jin gave a video call to Dyke.
"Sorry about that, to leave the Interim Leader seat so quickly."
"No, there's nothing wrong about that. We had always been working behind the scenes because we knew that the Interim Leader knew nothing much about governing Daimon. But at least when it comes to certain decisions, we did not regret consulting you on those. Not to mention, you were useful when you were really needed. Like the outbreak and the Parry City's incident." Denise said and then realised he did something stupid through his tenure as the Interim Leader.
"But all of us hated that tariff policy you implemented. It did cause some rifts but ever since you cleared the Parry City's incident rather well, some of the businesses came back to Daimon. And as the new interim Leader, I did tell them that the Tariffs would drop if more business from certain cities were willing to return to us for trade."
"Ooops."
"Never mind about that. It was good too as your blatant accusation of certain cities who wanted to take the chance to invade us had put them in the bad books for the neighbouring cities who wished to be neutral in this matter. After all, we are technically part of the central district of the Empire. It is bad for publicity if people and other lords know how divided we are in this current situation."
"That's good to hear." Jin continued to let Denise rumble on.
"Then how's the underground facility that you guys had taken? Managed to get any clues that point closer to the fact that Rocketeer was indeed the people who created those Mechanoids?"
"As for now, no. The designs had so far been rather far fetched to be the work of Rocketeers but Rafeal deemed to have found some indirect connections with their work and the creation of the Mecha Fire Dragons. In fact, it's the leftover items that allowed us to look into Monster Infused Mechanoids."
"But if I do an early Armageddon…"
"Do not have to worry about that, our servers have been Armageddon proofed. The Almighty had blessed them and we got a few more of those to keep those data as well. The early warning that you are causing Armageddon is of help."
"Honestly, I have no idea how this Armageddon works. Like is it worth building new buildings when we know Armageddon is about to happen?"
"Oh right, you are an outsider. So basically, the Armageddon is a compulsory memory wipe and that includes money and points. Only a certain portion would be returned when we start again. That is why the more points people get, the more they can do when the mandatory restarts happen. Progress of buildings would not be affected and usually, the call for Armageddon would allow a two day warning for people to settle their backups."
"So they have to purchase those hardware blessed by the Almighty?"
"Yes, and they are extremely cheap now because no one expects Armageddon this early. This allowed Diamondz and Daimon to buy them early in bulk and keep most of our information intact. When the warning is sounded, the fastest finger wins and when the Almighty restock, it would be twice as expensive as the previous stock. It will keep going on and on until nobody is able to buy them at such absurd prices."
"Also, talking about Rocketeers and other collaborators, the fact that the gangs had been proving to be of help was a boon. They had identified even more traitors within the Parry City defence departments. Even police names had been leaked to Air Force General Inus and he did a proper audit check before commencing mass cleansing to make sure these traitors were firmly rooted out. In return, those gangs had been rewarded with hush money which they accepted well. One of their leaders even got one of their worst records erased for the help they gave. This was how much Inus was dying to remove the traitors within them."
"I hope Sir Peru Peru would not be too depressed to find out that nearly half of his defence department had to be rooted out."
"He is fine. The last I heard from him, he had readily allowed Daimon to create the very same outpost that we had been doing for our dungeons. Pandarens have also been now allowed to travel to Parry City to find short term work through their quest as well as trying out the quest to fight against the Mind Jackers."
"So, even if you guys could not get monster infused Mechanoids right this round, you all will try it next round?" Jin asked and Denise nodded her head. "We might come out as the strongest next round if we play our cards right. And if you keep your promise as how you offered Archduke Dyke with regards to our position."
"Aye. And in return, for the proposal to be the lead manufacturer for the Empire, you know what I want, right?"
"You want Diamondz to provide you with the autonomous AI Planes, correct?"
"Yes, and building the weaponry for the train that will be carrying the Enhanced Mechanoid Armours. This way, we can use it as a mobile artillery bombardment unit to distract the Royal Guards and Assassins even more."
"This will be tough but I think we can be on time…wait Jin what are you doing?"
"Just passing you some points. This way, you can push your employees to work overtime, correct?" Jin said as he saw that 50 million points had already been transferred to Denise, the current Interim Leader of Daimon. "Treat this as a donation for the city's future development." Jin smiled and she was speechless.
"Fine. We will make sure these upgrades and planes will be worth your extra budget." Denise said as she quietly also sent a mail to Jin. "For your eyes only." After which, she logged off, stating that she was busy.
"Why is she being so secretive?" Jin asked as he opened the mail only to find a prompt asking for the password for the mail to be decrypted.
