Number One Dungeon Supplier

Chapter 1590 Lord Of Mount Sunn -Part 3



"Lol. what? Now I have two Systems vying for me. Looks like my System has to buck up if it wants to retain the status of being my System." Jin said with a loud laugh which Lynn chuckled along to as well. The System remained absolutely silent not to fall into Jin's usual provocation and can only sigh that he learnt such an attitude from the worst fox in all history.

Other than that, the meeting had been adjourned as Jin finally had a short nap before waking up to deal with things at the Diamondz Corps Headquarters. Or rather, he had been awoken by the notification sent by Denise stating that the research facility members had already been rounded up before they could even flee from the city.

Only one of them managed to do so but according to Denise, he was not of much insignificance to the group since he was merely just an assistant who had been scared shitless. But the fact that he ran away gave him some plausibility of guilt that he was involved in something according to Jin. And now that the primary investigation team of Dyke's Pikes and a group of well trained security personnel had arrived via an airdrop, he decided to use this chance to exploit the workers he had. (After all, he was a commander and it would be better for him to use the men under him to the fullest.)

The investigation team had been ordered to take a look into the research staff and their internal dealings while the security personnel and a few trained investigators were being tasked to search for the missing assistant as minor as a role he could have done. While the Mechanoids and humans within the search team were a little annoyed that they had been ordered to do such a boring and challenging job, they had begrudgingly agreed to it because of the rank and title he currently holds.

Meanwhile, Archduke Dyke also gave Jin a call stating that for some reason, Jin's Lordship title had been officially approved despite the Imperial Family withholding the approval status. There was nothing the Imperial Family could do as well as the Dyke also noticed that the title had been given by the AI Administrators themselves, giving the Imperial Family no leverage in this situation.

"I guess you can say that with this fortuitous opportunity, you can continue plotting against the Imperial Family without much worry. There would be no need to backstab them at this current point in time."

"Indeed, I assume you have the Diamondz Corp under your control?" Dyke queried Jin who seemed to have taken a step further from what they were planning to do, making him feel that the schemes he made were somewhat inferior. He could have done much better and learned from his new master, thus understanding the fact why Jin told him to hold his horses before doing anything rash.

While it was true to grab opportunities whenever he should, there were also times when there was a need to take a step back. This was one of the rare moments where he appreciated he did not do anything rash.

"Yes, we will investigate the Diamondz Corp research team and if possible, get them to reveal the stuff that they were doing on. But I have a bad feeling that even if you do not start the backstab first, the Imperial Family will impose their will, status and probably power if there is anything truly significant within these labs."

"What do you mean? They will deploy their personal Royal Army to invade Daimon?" Dyke questioned the seriousness of Jin's random conjecture.

"Urgh, let's not get ahead of ourselves. I do not want to think of such possibilities. Can you imagine that- no never mind." Jin decided not to say it as if felt like it was bad luck and it might come true. Considering how things were right now, The situation is akin to having many predators under the calm surface of the lake.

"No way." Dyke finally got the hang of Jin's line of thought. "Do you mean-"

"No, don't say it." was something Jin wanted to speak out but Dyke was faster than him.

"-that the assistant that ran away had something to do with the Imperial Family?"

"He said it. He really did say it. What a bad red flag." Jin thought to himself while sighing. This could not have gone anymore better and here he thought this Archduke was someone who knew politics well enough and was able to scheme even more professionally. Guess being in a Virtual Simulation space and inheriting the title probably from their parents would make him like this too.

"Oh well, but I am probably the same as him when I first started out..." Jin thought to himself once more before revealing his slow nod of approval to whatever Dyke had said.

"Listen, if what you have thought to be true, then it's imperative that you catch him before he reached someone who can pass the news to the Imperial Family. Either that or you have to intercept him before he reaches the Imperial Family. Well, that is assuming he is personally bringing the message to them since long range communications are available to use." Jin remarked.

"Doubt it. If it is a secret transmission, it's all the more important to receive it in person. Any sort of communication will always leave some trace of evidence no matter how encrypted it is." Archduke Dyke replied and Jin somehow felt that this was way too coincidental in nature.

"Well, you are not wrong to put it that way." Jin thought of the System when Dyke said how everything could be monitored.

"I will send a few of my most trusted men to the surrounding cities immediately," Dyke said in a hurry while Jin was lost in thought.

"System, any chance to find him with our current group?"

"They are a combat squad, not a scout squad." The System replied noting that Jin wishes to take this into his own hands as well.

"The option of asking Syn is on the table," Jin commented but the System did not exactly want to owe favours that soon after they had implemented the contract for the AI Administration to sign.

"The other alternative would be to ask Mechanoid Click. Her options of summoning or creating a scouting mechanical beast or two may prove helpful. The System had determined that she is now more than capable of such features, especially with the power up cards. With her current repertoire of skills, she might possibly be one of the strongest Mechanoids within your roster of Grey Bears."

"So much for our standard combat engineer. But what the hell man, that Heli Cop she pulled out as well as the Gorillo is simply insane. At the rate she using her skills, Click is going to become a mechanical summoner, lol. Wait. she had been using parts from dead robots, so I guess...Mechanical Necromancer? Hahah, such a class itself might deserve a story of her own." Jin felt that Click had grown the most from this past incident and decided that this might be the only option forward.
