Chapter 1783 King Of Bearling -Part 21

"Well? Why am I not able to control the Mecha Dragons?" The Queen asked once more and this frustrated and at the same time made the technician panic. He could not figure it out at all especially when he was being called at the very last minute to assist in this project. It was only now that he realised his project leads were lying to him.

"Oh it will be easy, there would not be any problems since we just mash all the controls into one interface. How about you go and introduce yourself to the Queen? Perhaps you could make a good impression on her and when things die down, she might even recognise you and promotion would be the only thing you could not stop thinking about!" Those flashbacks continued through the technician's head as he checked that everything was within working parameters.

The interface was working and there was nothing wrong with the programming at all. Yet, it showed a different story outside of the palace's windows. The technician then did the simplest of fixes, turn off the device and turn it back on again.

However, he unknowingly made a fatal mistake. As he turned the device and interface off, the AI logic circuits for the Mecha Dragons took over aggressively and one of the largest dragons that they had ever built immediately took reign of the situation, causing all of the other Mecha dragons to be league with this particularly huge Mecha dragon instead.

The Technician then realised those devices when turned on could not be connected to any of the Mecha Dragons instead. It was at that moment he knew he fucked up. "There are some connection problems possibly due to the interference or maybe damage to the cables in the area." The technician had decided to lie his way through. "Let me go get a few tools quickly that I had left in the maintenance vehicle."

The Queen felt irritated and told him to go quickly while asking the Royal Guards to accompany him in case Jin suddenly pops out of nowhere. "Your Highness, it is okay...its alright. You do not need to bother about me. I know my way around for I had been to Bearling Palace to deal with the Mechanoids. Besides, taking your Royal Guards away from your protection…if anything happens to you because of the need to protect me, Rocketeers Corp would definitely kill me."

"I do not need your sweet talk right now. Hurry now to your vehicle and get this blasted device sorted out." The Queen said but in reality, the technician was going back to the vehicle because that was where he left his side arm. He knew that there would be death or imprisonment and with the Mecha Dragons roaming outside, there was no way out of this situation.

He was not some super powered individual like Jin. All he could do was to at least die on his own terms. Besides, realising that he had been the scapegoat for this entire project, it was unlikely that he would make it out alive in the following weeks once the Queen had survived or Jin turned as the winner. All he knew was it was better to be dead than to be alive.

Thus, without an armed escort, he returned to the vehicle, opened his glove compartments, and took out a pistol. He transferred all his money and points to his next of kin and subsequently made sure that he had loaded his bullets.

"Alright. Let's not waste any time." the Rocketeer Technician said as he cocked the gun and placed it under his chin. Tears involuntarily flowed out of him but that was inevitable since who would like to have their own life away just like that? It was not as if he had done something wrong. He was just at the wrong place, at the wrong time, and wrong circumstances.

But apparently, it was the wrong decision to take as seemingly devised by the Almighty when there was a loud explosion that rocked the back of the van, causing the vehicle to flip and the Technician missed his shot to the chin.

Being upside down and semi unconscious, he could hear two people clashing their swords together in a fast moving sword duel. It was not long before he could assimilate the information that it was Jin who had been battling someone due to his signature (or Byakko's signature) lightning attacks scattering around the area.

At that point, the Technician unknowingly slipped into temporary darkness and narrowingly escaped the potential choice of death for a little while longer than he expected. Just not for Jin as he realised that this particular female assassin was not just good with dirty tricks but she had the strength to back it up as well.

Her choice of weapons was simply daggers but they were deadly enough that if Jin did not dodge far away or did not parry, he would be cut. And when he got cut, he noticed that there were actually poisons imbued into the daggers. If not for his Maqi, he would have already been knocked out a long time ago.

This was why Shai was annoyed that Jin could last this long. Even a small prick from her dagger, Jin should already be receiving a mixture of over 69 toxins running through his body. Even monsters have difficulty handling them unless they are known to have poison resistance or immunity. Still, those with supposed poison immunity would also show some sort of effect like slowing down of reflexes as such. But such tricks did not work on the Three Winged Angel Dungeon's mini bosses as they shrugged off the poison as if it was part of their daily meal.

Yet those were for monsters, and so far in her career, no human could ever tolerate this kind of toxin mixture. Even Mechanoids who received damage from this would at least be paralysed since there were toxins that had been synthesised to break the electrical discharge within their body.

And here she had Jin.
