Chapter 114 - Let There Be Carnage
For a couple of minutes, Emma did not blink. His brain was trying to process the information. CommandIntel… Close….. Amanda….Arrested. He shook his head and rubbed his temple. "What do you say?"
[[CommandIntel has been closed down. Miss Amanda has been arrested.]] Zeus repeated.
"Why didn't you notify me of the arrival of the PAR!" his voice raised an octave.
[[I tried to notify you, but you won't allow me to complete my report. You told me you will handle it after your mission.]]
Emma took a deep breath, but the dark glint in his eyes failed to disappear. The fast pace of his heartbeat continued to rise. With a gritted tooth, he muttered. "Who the hell touch what is mine." His voice dropped a degree.
[[The three powerful organizations.]]
At once, the enormous screen displayed the video feed. Emma watched the video with veins protruding on his forehead. After an hour of watching the feeds, the video came to an end. He exhaled with a forced smile. 'I tried to bury my past. But…'
"What about district 13?" he asked with no emotion on his face.
[[It had been under strict monitoring. The PAR and the three organizations tried to confiscate facilities as well. But with Terra Links. I'm able to preserve it for now. To stop the PAR from investigating the facilities. I stop all activities. Only the med facilities are working under close watch. I suspend the ammo facilities and the UAV facilities.]]
"What of the stores."
[[They have all been confiscated.]]
"Why"
[[Dangerous serums were discovered around the stores with false testimony from people against the stores.]]
"Why didn't you detect all these dangerous things"
[[Everything thing had been done before the deployment of the Eagles Eyes. While they use the black spot on the surveillance camera for their deeds.]]
Listening to Zeus, Emma kept quiet for a couple of seconds before muttering. "I guess I underestimated them."
"Why did you allow all this to happen?"
[[I can't make any decision when it regards the people's government. PAR. You set the protocol for the normal citizen, not against the government. Besides, since you're not in danger. I can't invoke the first protocol.]]
"Forget, where is Amanda?" his calm voice echoed in the room. Though he was furious. He needs to understand and plan everything accordingly.
At once, the enormous screen displays a magnificent villa with classic scenery. Seeing this, Emma snickered. "What do I expect?" his lip curled up a bit. "It is time for them to realize what they did wrong. The last time I went there was for business. Now…." A sharp glint escaped from his eyes, killing intent spreading in the room.
After a few seconds, he recovered from his thirst for revenge. His face recovered the tranquility while the killing disappeared into thin air. "What façade did they use to arrest Amanda?"
[[Miss Amanda and CommandIntel were accused of being related to the brutal killing in District 18. Miss Amanda and I tried to use the law. But the PAR ignored the law, demanding to check out every activity of CommandIntel and backend of God's App.]]
Zeus displayed the video feed on the screen. Emma watched as Amanda was fighting the PAR and the 3 greedy organization's heads. When he saw Amanda's eyes full of tears, defending his company with insensible accusation. Her face moved from one person to another, trying to let them realize her stand.
However, these people have a motive and they are not taking a step without achieving it. His heartache and feeling an invincible sword pierce his heart into two. He clenched his feet, staring at Amanda's face. He knew Amanda. This was too much for her to handle. He continued to blame himself as he continued the video, while also the fury in his heart can't be contained until he sees blood.
>>Don't blame yourself. You can shield everyone related to you from the storm. If you want them to stand by you, they must undergo their personal test of life. And this was her own.
The quiet Lily announced when she noticed Emma's turbulent emotions. When Emma heard Lily's voice, his raging emotion froze for a couple of seconds, blinking. Thinking about it, he realized there was a sense in what Lily said. He exhaled. 'You word made sense.'
>>Of course, my word would surely make sense. Don't compare with you. I'm not some ignorant kid, thinking everything would go their way. Besides, I'm your Mama. I must be there to put you on the right path. And I believe I'd make a good job in that.
'Seriously….'
>>What! Cat got your tongue… Tsk. Tsk. I know you worship me. But I never realized it had reached such an extent. Anyway, it's good to know.
'Worship your head. 99% of what came from your mouth is you been a narcissist. The 1% is reasonably fluctuating. I thought you're dependable… I guess not.'
>>Your father! You this ingrate. If you worship me, I won't have chosen to praise myself. For your mouth, I'm not dependable, don't worry, your ass will be kicked and you will come crying to Mama. Then, I will show you how reasonable I am.
'Forget you won.' Emma rolled his eyes. Now was not the time to argue with the shameless Lily. The clear image of Amanda's teary eyes was painted in his heart. And every second, he saw those eyes. His rage flare-up.
'It may be her test. But those people have already dug their graves. Don't' you agree'
>>Don't ask me a stupid question. Of course, you must put them in their grave. Nobody messes with this Mama's child live to tell the tale. Deadman tells no tale. Don't you agree?
Emma wanted to puke out blood. When did she become this? I need to step up my shameless act. Lily is getting the hang of it. 'I'm no Mama's child. But I agree. Deadman tells no tale.'
>>Hahhaahaha….. I got you. Since you agree. You're must worship this mama diligently.
'Have your way. When this Grandpa deals with these maggots. I will show you how it's been done.' He couldn't argue with Lily anymore, so he accept defeat in their banter. Since everything was obvious to him. He needed not to wait anymore.
'PAR. You cross the line.'
"Zeus, place Vulture on lockdown," Emma commanded. He straightened his back and looked at the enormous.
[[on it.]
"Preparation."
[[All done.]]
"Let there be carnage"
