Chapter 1804 King Of Bearling -Part 42



"Gosh, this seemed like it had gone full circle, huh?" Yinn said to the original Grey Bear Squad and they sighed, especially Jin.

"Tell me about it, what's with them and holding children with hostages? Is this some kind of cruel joke played by your Almighty?" Jin asked and the rest had no idea how to answer that particular question.

"If you really want to know, a majority of kidnappings do involve kids, especially in the Empire. Since they are the only ones who are not allowed to hold guns until they are 16 years and above." Tellie said and added that there would be a major electrical shock coming from the guns if those below the age limit were to try even holding it.

"Does that mean they cannot even pass it to their parents?" Jin questioned once more and they nodded their heads. "What a weird way to enforce such law of nature, old almighty..." It was pretty obvious that the last remark was to Syn and its Synthesis World's AI Administration.

"So that's why kidnapping kids is one thing but using them as human shields is a brand new low," Diaz said and the rest agreed.

"And like the Duke's kid, we don't have the luxury of using Tellie for the fight." The blueprint showed that it is cut off into a corner, and there's no good line of sight for her to utilise.

"You, are we expecting any Royal assassins or whatnot?" Jin poked his head out from the meeting and asked Puzzle that particular question.

"If I am not wrong, yes. But I believe there is nothing you cannot handle." Puzzle bowed and replied as honestly as possible.

"Welp, another factor to take note. If the assassins tried to do the very same thing as what the Queen would do, it would be a very depressing turn of events." Jin sighed.

"You are assuming the Queen would not be ruthless enough to kill any kid when we gunned down her assassins," Yinn commented and another bout of headache came in.

"Well...I did perform a trick to ignore the Royal Assassins when I was clashing swords with them. I melted the floors and dropped all the way down to the first basement. The only problem is that they would probably know that I am coming down from it since the ceiling of the second basement will corrode."

"Nah, I do not think that's a good idea, it might hurt the kids in the process as well," Lynn said before looking at Jin once more. "Then what about your lightning flash step? Can you make it less flashy and more stealthy?"

"If you want stealthy, why don't you ask Yinn to go instead?" Jin side eyed Yinn. "She can turn invisible, move through them easily, and later use reality manipulation to change the surroundings so she could take the Queen down."n-)o.-V(.e--l(.b--I/)n

"And do not give you the chance to do so?" Yinn asked as she thought that Jin would like to smack the Queen first.

"Eh, but the Authorisation letter stated me and the Grey Bears. So, if Yinn defeats the Queen, I do not think there is any issue with that, right Page?" Jin turned to check on Puzzle as well.

"No problems at all. In fact, I find that having Yinn do that would be the best course of action. Of course, if there were any problems, Jin could use that flashy step technique to save the day too, correct?" Page asked and everyone looked at him.

"The ceilings in the basement are rather high, you can utilise them if you need." Puzzle pointed it out to the holographic blueprint that they had.

"But won't that be where those assassins be waiting? Or are you telling me there's a mix of Royal Guards and Assassins in there?" Jin looked annoyed and Puzzle shook his head.

"All the Royal Guards even the ones on duty to protect the Queen had been called to the frontlines by Royal Guard Leader Steele. It is not possible for the Royal Guards to be within the compound at all. If any, it's only the Royal Assassins."

"Then why do you still ask us to go by the ceiling? That's kinda stupid isn't it?"

"Because there might be a chance the Queen would get the assassins to use those laser webs as deterrence. Surely if you want to use some flashy step thing, I assume you wish not to be cut by those laser webs as well." Puzzle said and Jin placed his hands on his face.

"How can I forget those? Urgh."

"We still have the Hovering Mindjacker modules, but they might be a little noisy for infiltration." Page said but Click came forth and said she could potentially fix that problem.

"Give me a while, if you are in stealth mode, you might not need too much power flying anyways, so if I reduce the power output, there should not be any noise at all." Click said as she took out her own hovering module and started tinkering it.

"But that only gives the part where Yinn could infiltrate in. Leaving with the kids would be a problem by itself, especially with those laser webs." Lynn asked and Jin tapped on Tellie's shoulders.

"Ah, about that. I honestly think we do not have to worry about such an issue once we know that the Queen has been neutralised. Given the layout of the basement, Tellie should be able to clear that in one good quick shot. Then the rest can come in blazing guns." Jin said and Tellie gave a thumbs up, indicating that she had no qualms with that arrangement.

"Then if that's the case, let's do it quick before the Queen goes mad with ideas again," Jin said as he raised his hand out and Lynn placed it on top of his. Soon, the rest did the same and did a quick team cheer with a 'let's go.'

It's finally the end of the long stretch. Get it done well and everyone can focus on the future.
