Chapter- 28

General Daka observes the mayor's sour expression from inside the mayor's office. General Daka patiently described what transpired at the base of the Bernett Group.

That's it; he appears ready to let go of your people and let you choose your destiny.

Understandably, he might be a little excessive in his use of language, but what about you? Now is not the time to argue with him, are you really that stupid?"

:I have no idea; I simply lack self-control.

But everything I told him was true.

The residents of the town need time to adjust to the current circumstances. You can't just go there and order them around. It will backfire. ".

Doyke exhaled slowly because he hadn't anticipated the severity of the situation. From his perspective, it's just a verbal argument.

Why are you unable to relax and resume negotiations?

General Daka briefly fixed Doyke with his gaze.

"First, let me clarify a few things for you. The world today is not the same. Old-school reasoning won't work today.

Second, I concur in part with Kai's points.

23 combatants, don't look at the small numbers, that's how many people we lost yesterday. They were all people of distinction.

We lost 23 combatants who were prepared for battle just from the minor skirmish. Emergency room patients are not included in our totals.

Combatants need to believe to risk their lives. What are they attempting to accomplish or who are they trying to protect?

For the time being, ignore my TCF members; they used to defend citizens. What about the combatants from the Bernett Group?"

"He claims that they will protect us, but wasn't that their obligation from the beginning? And now that you guys blame us?"

Doyke is perplexed as to why they were attempting to find false among the locals. Is feeling depressed in this situation not common for regular people?

"You are well aware of our meaning, Mr. Doyke. We need all the help as much as we can, the wall needs labor, and there are so many places the townsfolk can help.

If you want to survive, you have to fight for it; there is no point in simply escaping reality. You guys are not being coerced into combat with those monsters by us. Remember that a relationship can only work if both parties gain something from it. ".

" Ha. ".

His reputation isn't great just from the installation of chips, which is easier said than done.

Some may know how much he sacrificed for this town, but in the general populace, how many people with sane heads do you have?

Just one or two gaslighting here and there, some unfavorable decisions for them, the town people will become agitated again.

His reputation will go down to drain. And put his reputation aside, if the townsfolk and the organization truly become odd to each other, Bram's townsfolk have so much to lose.

" Do you think they will follow if we order?

They were not the kind of people who will do what you say.

You have to convince them first, even now there were so many complaints about food, farms and other kinds. We are not military or an organization. As I said before we need time. ".

" ha. ".

This time it's General Daka's turn to sigh.

it makes him so much frustrated. They can't force them just by one condition, that is if things go ugly, don't know how much will turn into the Cravers.

From a national security general point of view, he has the responsibility to protect civilians, but from an emotional point of view, it's not fair for TCF and the organization.

" Come to the meeting tomorrow, let's try to figure some out at the time. And try to persuade them as much as you can ".

※※※.

He heard some footsteps, moving trolleys, and voices.

" step.

step.

".

" percent percent~₩₩and&".

Kai's consciousness becomes clear gradually and opens his eyes.

What greeted him was a white ceiling and a brightly lit room. He remembers what happened before he was unconscious and thinks back about what went wrong.

Unknowingly his anger took control of him.

It felt like riding a wild horse without reins. You can't control your speed and guide the way. It felt bad and good at the same time.

The strength flows through his body, which he never felt before, but he had conscious and just doesn't have any thoughts to control his anger or impulse. It's hard to explain with words. It's so free and easy.

Just felt bad that he was trying to attack Ray.

" Guards!!!!".

He called out to the guards.

" Boss, are you awake? What can I help you?".

" Give me water, and call Dr. Ray ".

" Yes, Boss ".

After handing a glass of water, the guard hurriedly walked out of the room.

.

" Dok.

Dokk.

".

" Are you awake? How do you feel?".

With the knocking on the door, Ray's voice came before the person.

" I'm good, Maybe a little tired ? What happened to me?".

The corner of Ray's lips slightly raised and became normal.

" What do you think?".

Here comes. Kai raised his one eyebrow and looked at Ray who doesn't answer his question honestly. The guilt he felt from before evaporated like a vapor.

" You are not fun at all Kai" Ray crossed his hand before his chest looking at Kai with pitying eyes.

" Stop your bullshit. " Kai sit up on the bed, take off the sensors. Deep down he let out a sigh of relief. If this guy still has the time to bullshit, it's good news.

" Nothing serious, don't try to sort out all the problems in one go. Don't I tell you, don't think too much and stress yourself?

You just can't let go of your control, are you?".

" When things are out of your control, you become so mad. Luckily I'm nearby. ".

" Did I become an evolver?".

" Not even close, you are more leaning towards Craver now. ".

Hearing Ray's answer Kai frowned with frustration.

" Don't forget your dream, don't forget little Ark. It's not that bad. You just need to let go of some of your obsession.

Rest now. I have some research to be done, When I have free time we need to talk. ".

Ray walked out of the room, after three to four steps he turned back and peeked inside the room.

" Oh, I forget something, don't forget to meditate, it will help a lot. ".

Kai lay down on the bed and thought back to the conversation between him and Doyke.

As he thinks about it more, he becomes more angry. Closing his eyes and trying to calm his mind as much as he can.

After a few deep breaths, he sits back and meditates to clear his head. Only deep breathing can be heard from the room.
