Chapter 1721 Aftermath of Parry City's Incident -Part 3

It didn't take long for Daimon City Soldiers to get to Jin and the Grey Bear Squad members. The collapse of the stairway that had been damaged by the fight was fixable with a few extra temporary pillar supports and the debris was cleared systematically with the help of Mechanoids.

Food was initially passed through the openings that they managed to get so that Jin was at least still able to get a decent meal rather than that pitiful packet of biscuits he called rations which the Grey Bears had.

Otherwise, all Jin did was hang out with the Grey Bears until they were done. It was to the point that he even went to the lowest basement to sleep for a while as the other Mechanoids took stock of the inventory that was in the place. The source of this ᴄontent is ɴovel(F)ɪre

In the meantime, Click became slightly curious about the designs of the Mecha Fire Dragon and went around checking if there were any databases or manuals that were available to give her a better idea of what makes them tick.

After some intense clearing of the collapsed stairway, General Grieves was the first to go in and greet Jin who was bored and munched some biscuits. He waved at the General and called the rest to return with him.

When they got out of the underground facility and into the open, Jin could see that more Mechanoids and soldiers were already on standby with Parry City's police clearing the way. "I thought you said fifty including the workers? This felt like it was more than fifty." Jin asked Grieves as the General opened the door of the luxurious car for Jin to sit and the rest of the Grey Bear Squad took another ride behind him.

"The Parry City Military, Air Force General Inus had stated that the area you were in was gang territory. He told me to be extra careful so I brought in additional muscle and also allowed the Parry City Police to help control the scene before the rest returned."

"Oh, I see…" Jin yawned and saw that the sun was already setting when he was in the car.

"But interestingly, the gang leaders came together when Daimon and Parry City resumed border transits, and we nearly shot them for coming too close."

"Are they there to give you trouble?" Jin asked.

"No, they offered to stay out of it for the entire duration but requested not to touch their gang members as well. Of course, I said, I could not guarantee until one of them gave me a black ledger that contained all the transitions between them and General Toba. So, it was a situation that demanded an exchange of favours. They later thanked us for helping Parry City and asked us to consider."

"Mind if I take a look at this black ledger?" Jin asked and General Grieves was already ahead of him and sent copies of the scanned black ledger into his holographic console for viewing. Jin might not be the best accountant to audit this but he could see that it was written rather clearly and neatly.

"There's quite a lot of money flowing in and out of this book," Jin commented and Grieves stated that they were smuggling in parts from various cities into Parry City. They thought it was for Mechanoids or even Enhanced Armoured Mechanoids. They never believe it was used to create Monster Mechanoids at all."

"Well, that's one part of the mystery solved since the gang leaders had graciously given one of the most vital information. Looks like the Empire Military main manufacturer was really involved."

"Rocketeers." General Grieves spoke with a deep tone. "If they are embroiled in the same shit as Edmond did, we might be in trouble. Dragon Mechanoids already posed a huge problem to this current society but if they create something even more sinister, I assume the rest of the Empire Military could not do anything about it."

"Hmmm, on the other hand. If a coup fails, the existence of Monster Mechanoids within the Empire could potentially further enhance the will of the Royals and it's an excuse for increased military expansion. There is no doubt that would make a perfect target for other countries to target it and later the Empire can justify its use of Monster Mechanoids to push for either an invasion or an excuse for a counter invasion."

"This is troubling. As much as the borders around various nations had already been tense enough, this is just making things worse." General Grieves stated.

"So, it's either we take down the head early or proceed with an all out coup."

"Assassinating the King and Queen? I would not presume that is a very easy job to do. You should know that they have the Royal Assassin Guild and Royal Guards. All of which are powerful entities on their own. You might have your own squad but they are definitely not enough to fight against those."? General Grieves stated.

"There's enough evidence to fabricate that they are in this. Although the mass media would probably say otherwise. In any case, it's easier to go rogue and kill them, rather than an all out coup which involved tens of thousands of people in it."

"Hmm… There might be one way to do it. But whether the laws and old rules still allowed it or not." General Grieves stated as he asked to give him a moment while he searched for it. The searching took some time as Jin enjoyed the scenery of Parry City as he saw that the citizens were already returning to their homes and attempting to restart their lives once more.

Those who saw the armed escort waved at Jin while some got to their knees and thanked him as he drove by. It was a rare sight which Jin had never experienced before even though he assumed that what he had done was like 'just another day's worth of job' to him.

"Here. This is it." Grieves stated and gave Jin a look at the possible way to end this.
