Chapter 743 - Infiltrating The Medical Center

Gustav realized he missed them more than he cared to admit, but with the state of things right now, if the disastrous situation wasn't handled, they might end up as enemies.

'I just gotta do my best, I guess,' Gustav thought as his face showed with determination.

-

Minutes later, Gustav arrived at the location where the battle between him and the three Mixedbloods, Ring Lord Vanisher hired, took place.

During his trip here, he had seen the state of the city from outside the hover bus windows.

Burning Sands city had slowly resumed its daily activities even though the city was still recovering from the incident.

There were thrice as many authorities patrolling the city than before and moving around with scanning devices.

He already knew that was because of him.

He got down from the public transport and looked around the place.

There were restrictions put in place to surround the entire environment. A massive crater could be seen where the buildings in the vicinity used to be located.

This one wasn't even Gustav's fault because the entire place got destroyed due to the power of the Mixedblood with the golden beam. This was how powerful Kilo ranks were and why they were considered a powerhouse wherever they visited on the earth.

Only a small percentage of Mixedbloods was Kilo ranks, so it costs a lot to hire just one of them, but the Ring Lords were able to hire three, which showed just how rich they were.

They had accumulated a lot of illegal money.

Gustav could see people on the scene beside the authorities.

Some people came to drop flowers here as it would seem they were family members with some of the deceased who were obliterated on the spot.

Some of the deceased were lucky enough to still have corpses, but some got completely obliterated.

Voices of sobbing could be occasionally heard in the background as some family members mused about how the person they lost was an awesome person and all that griefing statements.

Gustav was moving around without any look of remorse on his face, even though the environment gave off a sad vibe.

'They must have swept the scene clean,' Gustav was sure he wouldn't be able to find anything here even if he looked.

He moved towards one of the authorities and called their attention to ask a question.

"Sorry for the disturbance, officer. I would like to know where the corpse of the casualties were taken," Gustav inquired.

"Are you the family member of one of the deceased?" The female cop asked.

"Yes," Gustav answered.

"Sorry for your loss," She said with a look of pity.

"I appreciate it," Gustav responded.

"You'll have to head over to Saint Luther medical center and give proof of your relationship to the deceased. Tests have been run to determine the identity of corpses that can't be recognized with physical appearance," She explained while giving Gustav direction on how he was going to get there.

"Thank you," Gustav responded before turning around to leave.

"Don't worry, the culprit will be caught soon," The female cop voiced out loudly as Gustav walked away.

"The MBO is about to implement a plan in the coming week. Gustav Crimson days are numbered," She added.

Gustav paused his steps and turned around to bow slightly in appreciation.

"I'm sure he will... Thank you all for working hard," Gustav voiced out before turning around once more to leave.

The young female cop had a proud look on her face after receiving the thanks and went back to her duties.

If she ever found out that she just finished talking to the person she said would soon be caught, she would probably bash her head against the wall repeatedly in shame.

-

As Gustav travelled with public transit once more towards the hospital mentioned earlier, he was in deep thoughts.

'The MBO is about to implement a plan to catch me? For her to sound so confident, it must be something full proof,' Gustav was curious as to what the MBO was up to.

'I have to be really careful then... She said in the coming week. I have about five days to complete my plans, and then I should probably find a way to leave the city before then or go into deeper hiding,' Gustav thought.

The MBO was really capable when they wanted to be, so he didn't want to take any chances with them. If they caught him beforehand, chances were, all the blame would be put on him.

Those within the MBO that secretly hated him due to his relationship with Miss Aimee and his fast rise would use this as an opportunity to put him down even more.

He had no doubt that the MBO was probably about to revoke his title, that was if they hadn't.

A scapegoat was definitely needed for this incident, and Gustav had managed to destroy everyone that had a hand in it.

He was the only one left now, which meant everything would fall on his head. The whole debate about whether or not he was the cause of it all would mean nothing the instant he couldn't provide any proof of fighting against enemies.

Gustav could call Miss Aimee to help him out, but he had decided to man up and face this himself. He felt he couldn't keep relying on miss Aimee for everything, especially when he knew she was on a mission.

He preferred being an asset rather than a liability.

'Hey, system... Are you sure it's possible to do what you have said?' Gustav asked internally as he made his way to the hospital.

("Sure... Just make sure you find his corpse,") The system responded.

-

Gustav arrived at Saint Luther medical center after some time and instantly walked into the tall building once he got off the public transit.

The place was bustling, with lots of people going in and out. Not only was it a massive medical center where a lot of patients were brought in daily, but it was also the closest medical center to the first incident scene, so lots of corpses were brought over.

Family members came over to claim some of the bodies of their kin.
