n'Vrrrrrrrrmmmmmm!'

nLandon and the rest drove in complete silence towards the barracks.

nAnd while they were heading over there, chief inspector Morgan.... went to the bank instead.

nFrom what Hemrew said, he had given the men close to 15,000 Bays each as payment for the information.

nOf course, they would receive more later on once they completed their job by giving out the manufacturing procedures of all weapons in Baymard.

nLandon thought that it was almost an impossible job to accomplish... because things like the pure chemicals needed, were extracted in percentages by the Alchemy industry, before being sent to the weapon manufacturing industry.

nHow could they properly separate compounds and chemicals like nitric acid, other nitrates and so on.... while making sure that the percentages of these chemicals are at least above 97% concentrated?

nEven making bombs and so on need the right composition and concentrated chemicals that were produced by the Alchemy industry.

nMore still, did these people know how many departments and industries worked together with the weapon manufacturing industry?

nEven synthetic rubber production that was gotten by oil distillation, and other components from the plastic manufacturing industry and so on..... also contribute to making these weapons.

nSo they were basically asking these 2 men to steal over 50 procedures from over 7 or 8 manufacturing industries.

nAfter all, Baymard had a ton of weapons available.... and each weapon was completed with chemicals and parts produced by both the weapon manufacturing industry and other industries too.

nSo when Landon first saw the amount that these traitors had received, he didn't know whether to feel bad for them or pity them.

nThese procedures were all worth over millions of Bays each... but these people only took that much?

nLooking at everything, since no one really knew the production process.... they probably didn't know how much work, procedures and companies work alongside the weapon manufacturing industry.

nIn their minds, what they might've envisioned could even be a single sheet with bullet points on it.

nHow silly!

n.

nAnyway, Morgan was going to the bank with written permission from the Chief of police Lucius.

nHe was sent there to check if those 2 traitors had deposited the amount in their bank accounts.

nBecause if so, then he could bring up their bank statements as proof as well.

nObviously, they wouldn't keep such a huge amount of money in their lockers within the barracks for fear of being caught.

nSo it would have it be either in their bank accounts, or their residential homes outside the barracks.

nHence Morgan had also planned to stop by their homes after leaving the bank.

nTime was of the essence and he had to make haste with his search.

n.

nAs for Landon and the rest, they went back to the barracks.... but secretly kept a lookout for those 2 traitors.

nIt was especially hard for the Captains, because whenever they saw them.... they felt like running over and beating them into a pulp.

nBut as leaders, they bottled up everything and pretended to be their regular selves.

nAs for Landon and Lucius, they quickly sent out a notice that 2 days from now on Thursday morning, all jobs and classes will come to stop at 12 Noon.

nOf course, only those operating public transport, working the ports, hotels and other jobs that needed to stay operational, would be exempt from this.

nThis also included those who would be guarding the empire, prisons, military buildings, Coastal relation and the walls in King's Landing.

nSo with all that said, Landon expected to see most of the police officers, military men and civilians on site.

nAnyway.... even though Landon had said that work should stop at 12 noon.... he still wanted to give everyone time to eat and relax.

n

n

nSo he requested that everyone assemble in District G around the place where they usually kept the empires Christmas tree at.

nIt used to be the city square when Baymard was still a city.

nNow, it was known as the 'Wishing ground', as people believed that making a wish here during Christmas....or even kissing your lover here during Valentine's day, meant good wishes or a long union together.

n.

nAs for what Landon called assembled them for, it was apparently to announce some new changes in Baymard.

nAs well as to appoint some new soldiers who will go out to Carona and help give a going hand to the doctors and nurses dealing with the Shinjep disease there.

nApparently, since his majesty felt that the talk might be somewhat boring to the children, he also requested for the children to stay at home with a guardian too.

nAnd so everyone made a mental note of the notice that was posted and announced everywhere.

nThey also made plans just as his majesty had said, and planned for someone to babysit their children.... be it their elder daughters, sons or even the nannies at the daycare centers.

nAs adults, they knew how serious things like this could get, especially when it concerned a disease like the Shinjep disease.

nEven others from other empires decided to come as well, as they too had been flowing up on how Baymard's attempt to cure the disease.

nOne should know that it was similar to major viruses like 'AIDS' and other illnesses that didn't have a cure yet.

nSo it would be a miracle if Baymard actually cured it.

nHealers from all over the world would flood to Baymard in attempts to know how they did it.

nEven kings and nobles had sent their spies into Baymard just to get info about the situation, as they were too scared to get Ngum city in Carona.... for the risk of getting infected.

nSo any Shinjep news, made people's ears stand up at attention..... not to talk about the fact that newspapers that published articles on Shinjep typically got sold out like hotcake.

n.

n

"Inspector Morgan..... I need everything on your end ready before then.

"

n

"Yes, your majesty!

"

n

"Captains.... in the meantime, keep an eye out on our targets.

nI want to know where they go, what they do and who they mingle with regularly.

"

n

"Yes, King-Father Army General Lucius!

nWe will do as you've instructed.

"

n

"Doctor Mitch...

nMake sure that Hemrew is alive and kicking... And watch him very closely.

nWe will also send some secret guards to watch over him as well.

nWe need him on that day as well.

nAnd get the fake injured man to prepare for that day too..

"

n

"Understood your majesty!

"

n

"Good!

"

nWith everything sorted out, Landon and Lucius decided to turn in for the day.

n.

nTwo days went by in a flash.... and soon it was already 2:50 P.M on Thursday afternoon.

nThe crowd quickly gathered while looking at their watches.

nAnd of course, trust the reporters with their news crew to already be there too.

nThey had their equipment set up, and were ready to get down all the juicy details from this assembly.

nFor sure, the soldiers, police officers, guards, marines and other officers were there too as well.

nThey looked very heroic and made many people look at their formation in awe.

nThere was also a white clean van parked at the back of the stage.

nThe van looked like a delivery van, so everyone just assumed that his majesty probably wanted to distribute things to everyone.

nTime passed by quickly, and soon..... Landon, Lucius, Inspector Morgan, Gary, Josh, Mark, Trey.... and the 2 Captains who helped them with the case, came up the stage just in time.

nLandon looked at his watch and smiled.

n3 P.M

nTime to close the case.

n.

n

"Today, I will call out 18 names of soldiers, who will later join the team of doctors and nurses that will be going to Carona after Christmas.

"

nWith that, Landon began calling out some of the soldiers' names... which included the names of the traitors too.

nOf course, he spaced their names apart when he called them out so that they wouldn't be suspicious about it all.

n

"Simon McBeal!..... ... Yoshi Hanoir!

"

nHearing their names, the traitors excitedly walked onto the stage with their heads held high.

nHehehehe.... after successfully managing to fool someone like his majesty Landon Barn, they still got picked for such an important mission.

n

n

nSo how could they not feel proud?

nIf they knew that it would be this easy to deceive a messenger from the heavens.... then wouldn't they have done it ages ago when they had first arrived in Baymard?

nAt this point, weren't they above the heavenly messenger then?

nHmph!

nForget it!

nAt this point, the saw themselves as immortal beings.
