I'm the King Of Technology

In the wash of a new day, the empire of Baymard soon became hustling and bustling all over again.

The streets were filled with people... as well as vehicles, that were moving back and forth non-stop.

The diners and restaurants were also filled with people rushing in to get a quick breakfast meal..... and the schools and other learning institutions were busy with students moving back and forth the busy hallways hastily.

It was indeed another busy day within the empire of Baymard.

.

As for those who were enjoying their off day now..... some of them immediately tuned on the radio out of habit, while doing laundry or other menial chores about their homes.

But what they heard immediately shocked them off their sockets.

Heck!..... even those within the stores stopped buying their goods and stood rooted on the spot as well.

For a moment, it seemed like the entire Baymard had come to a standstill..... as all the people could think of, was about the news that they had just received.

When did this all happen?

.

"Good morning everyone... I'm Beth Raymond"

" And I'm Matt Mosely....."

"And this is the Baymard Broadcasting Channel (BBC) station 1."

"On our top story this morning... 7 armed masked men were caught trying to sneak into the Lower region." News reporter Beth Said.

"_"

Those listening immediately froze and gasped out loud in shock and terror.

What?????.

How? When? And Who?

.

Some of the citizens couldn't help but shiver a little, when they remembered that they too also worked overnights within the lower region as well.

Thank the heavens that his majesty and the overseers there had already arranged for safe Transportation for them during the night shifts.

Or else, what would've happened if these visitors suddenly attacked them while they were on their own on the road there?

.

Those were 7 ARMED masked men they were talking about!

So of course they would be frightened silly from such reports.

Goodness!!!

Were there other criminals that escaped as well?

And if some of them managed to escape, then what about their own safeties?

Several questions quickly popped into their heads, as they continued to listen to the news diligently.

.

"It really does feel so hard to believe, doesn't it Matt."

"It really does Beth!

But lucky for us, we have nothing to fear..... as our brave and loyal security man and dog task force had easily solved this issue in a matter of minutes.

We have BBC's Jillian Runion, Live at the Police Headquarters within District C.... with more information on the matter from the police officer who led the team in capturing these criminals.

Jillian....?"

"Thank you Matt..... it's quite chaotic around me now, as you can hear... but standing besides me, his Sergeant Winston Charles, from the police department.

Sergeant Winston..... can you shed some light of what really went down last night?"

"Certainly!

About 11 :30 P.M to 12 midnight..... these men had tried to jump over the fence in the lower region with several weapons on them.

Of course, we caught ALL of them as swiftly as we could... and locked them up in the cells last night."

"So you're saying that no one escaped from last night's attempted attack?"

"Yes.... for all the worried citizens out there, no one escaped from their bunch.

But that doesn't mean that one should lower their defences and become negligent.

To all the Baymardians and visitors out there, it's always important for one to stay alert at all times.

And if you ever feel like your life is in danger, please find the closest police station or police officer around you and report your matter to them.

We the police will always heed your calls or requests whenever you need us!"

.

Everyone listening immediately calmed their worried hearts.... as they truly felt relieved.

Fortunately, they had the proud Baymardian security team.... and their outstanding dog force to thank for this matter.

Or else who knew how many innocent citizens could've been injured by these intruders?

.

Even the innocent visitors and merchants, also felt relieved as well.

But they couldn't help but wonder which idiots had ruined the reputation of visitors here?

When coming into Baymard, one was asked to sign and agree to the rules here.

So why would one willingly disobey the authority here after that?

.

The merchants who came via ship, were more so worried about their partnership instead... as they too felt that these visitors were sabotaging their own opportunities as well.

What if Baymard now decided to drive all visitors away and refused to trade in the end?

For them, Baymard was such an unpredictable place.

So one really didn't know what decision they would reach at the end of it all.

So how could they not be worried as well?

Damm!.... What bad luck!

.

"I'm Jillian Runion, reporting live from the police headquarters within District C.... and now, back to you guys in the studio."

"Thank you Jillian!

We've just got more news on the matter... and from what was reported, these men will be kept there within the police Prison cells for the time being.

And after their court trial in 4 day's time... they will be charged and transferred to our maximum security prison in District B later on."

.

As the people listened on, they couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Typically, if a visitor committed any crime here... ..... they would have to stay within Baymard's prison for at least 5 days to at most 3 years, before they were sent out and banned from Baymard.

.

To put it simply, within their prison time..... Baymard and the empire's that they came from, would try to negotiate on their freedom.

And depending on the crimes that they had committed, as well as their statuses..... the amount for their ransom would definitely be paid by these empires, before they could be released.

.

Like was mentioned earlier, they could only be released after they finished their Baymard sentence first.

So if criminals were sentenced to 2 years in Baymard..... not until that time frame is over, will they be permitted to leave Baymard for good.

The thing to note was that they could only receive a maximum of 3 years imprisonment for now!

But once Landon got treaties with other empires, then the imprisonment time would also increase as well.

.

Nonetheless, even with 3 years max.... hehehehe.... Landon could make it feel like 100 years of imprisonment, or just a walk in the park for some... depending on their crimes and their mentalities.

Prison in a way was invented to reform people before letting them out into the society again..... so of course he planned to brainwash them morally and let them see the error of their ways while they stayed here.

Oh... he had a lot of methods and programs that would make most of them crack.

Let's just say that.... he could make these 3 years also feel like a thousand years for them if they weren't willing to change!

.

As for those who couldn't crack that easy, well.... their ransom had to be ridiculously high if anyone wanted them back.

Because releasing such people back into the society, was definitely a dangerous move to make.

So why not make it difficult for these empires to get them back?

.

Typically even back on earth.... if one was an immigrant and did a lot of crimes in another country, they would get deported and charged in their own countries instead.

So Landon had no right to hold anyone here forever.

But he had to give them prison time before they left no matter what!

That was were the 3 years maximum jail time came to play.

And he could make their stay here like hell, or like a walk in a park depending on their circumstances.

.

--The Kimberly 4 Star hotel, Baymard--

.

Seated around the dining hall, the Barn family had already had the hotel send their meal to their rooms instead... since they were staying at one of the most luxurious family sized suites there.

"Stick with us after the break for more news on these mysterious masked men.

I'm Beth Raymond"

" And I'm Matt Mosely....."

"And you're listening to the BBC station 1."

"_"

.

The family of 4 soon regained their shock, as to the fact that this sort of news was sent out to the citizens... without holding back any information at all.

But more importantly..... for Alec and Eli, their minds couldn't help but get to work swiftly.

.

For Eli, he knew that the men that were caught weren't his.... as tonight was the night that his own men had planned to infiltrate the lower region instead.

But even still, before he could make his own moves now..... he had to see what would happen to those 7 men at the end.

Hence he decided to abort tonight's mission altogether.

.

As for Alec..... Alec's entire body started trembling from rage, as he thought about the news report.

What a bunch of incompetent fools!!

After training them for so long, they still didn't know how to jump over a simple fence?

Wasn't this an insult the 'SPY' profession?

.

He quickly calmed himself down,as he didn't want his children to notice his rage.

Tomorrow morning, he would finally meet that unfilial son of his.

And since his first plan of action had failed, no matter what..... he had to make sure that tomorrow's plan would be a success!!

.

He ate his meal in anger, and spent his entire time secretly cursing those 7 buffoons.

Lousy good-for-nothing bastards!!!
