Chapter 118: Chapter 118 - A MAN
[ Tudor Kingdom ]
In the city of Kaoline.
Right at the place where there was an explosion and a small but increasingly valuable battle had gone on.
Right now that place was filled with many people who had the same uniforms on them. They were in a navy blue dress and dark gray pants which all of them wore. There also was a symbol attached there on the right side of the dress which consisted of a 'T' letter in a beautifully intricate design. They also had some people who had black hats on them with different designs on them.
These people were the royal working under the Royal Tudor Family and they were initially called the royal forces.
The ones that mostly consisted of these dresses but without the hats were officers who did all the handy work and many other things as well.
But the ones with the hats were the real deal.
They are the ones who give orders to these rag tag groups of officers that have to listen to whatever their officers tell them to do, sometimes things that should be questioned but generally are not.
These are the people who are Sergeant, Lieutenant, Captain, Major and other ranks that only go above. These are the people who subjects believe in to give order and justice to the common folk and these are also the people who the people in high places believe to be their personal lap dogs.
They are the people who give justice and are generally also the ones who take them away as well.
And right now these great people of justice had gathered to this place in search of answers that they would not get and even if they did then they wouldn't know what to do with it.
Two people who are a Lieutenant and a Captain were now looking at the burned place with a grim expression on their faces. The Captain had a bigger one than the Lieutenant. He asked his junior officer which was the man standing next to him.
"Aleho, What… what can you tell me about this?" He asked with slight fear etched on his face.
"...Sir. Truth be told, not much." The lieutenant answered as he looked at the place that was filled with many mysteries about them.
Hearing that the Captain gave a long sigh before he said, "At least tell me the boys were able to find out something, right."
"Well you wouldn't like what you're about to hear, Sir."
"Just give it to me straight, Aloha."
"Yes sir." The lieutenant said and started to tell his story.
"If what we can decipher is true then it is a huge problem."
"First we have found out that there were many people who had come over here around somewhere between 5 PM to 11 PM and those people who came over here were particularly looking for someone in this place."
"And that someone being 'Daniel Docks' I presume." The Captain interrupted with his own thoughts.
"Well, we don't know that but yes. It's most likely him." The Captain then motioned for him to continue his story.
"Those people who were looking for Docks were heavily equipped and most likely would have been some kind of high end squad who had a profession doing assassinations or close to that."
"And how did this-" The captain pointed with his boots at the ashes and the burned parts of the assassination group and said "Happen?"
"I was getting to that, These people might have gotten too close to Docks or he decided to take care of them before he started something that… couldn't be described quite clearly by our forensics."
"But what they could figure out was that it was an explosion."
"Yeah that is clearly evident but what else?"
"They had used their expertise and found that this was done by projecting a small amount of gas that had huge amounts of vapor density for it to light up so quickly and spread out the flames everywhere."
"And not only that but the gas is actually so dangerous that the Kingdom has already put it under a list of things that has been banned for a long time."
"And still the guy was able to find it and take care of a high end assassination squad so quickly. If it were us, we would have been skewered."
"Well we would hav-" The lieutenant tried to disagree with his boss but was immediately interrupted.
"There is no 'We would have' ALOHA, look at this peoples equipment."
Aloha did as he was told and saw the equipment that was damaged a lot by the large caliber bullets and explosions but still held on.
"They had armor of such high qualities which still is holding on even though they had been penetrated by many large caliber bullets and great explosions but they were still massacred like sheeps to a slaughter house."
"So tell me, How the F*ck would we have made any difference to this matter."
The lieutenant thought for a long time but he could not find anything to say back so he tried to apologize to his clearly angry boss. But as luck would have it, he was stopped by a shout from a junior officer who came running towards them with an important message.
The officer came straight from the main gate as he ran as fast he could towards them and started to say.
"Si- Sir the- theres has bee- been."
The Captain stopped him and said "Take your time, Kid and then you can tell me about it."
"Th-THank yo-you sir."
The officer took some breaths before he said clearly to them.
"There are some people who have arrived here and are telling us to let them in."
"Who the hell do they think they are to try to tell us directly to let them in." The Captain said angrily.
"Si- Sir, it's just one man." The officer replied in stutters.
"And who is this man?"
"It's Apollo… Apollo Degenetic."
Hearing the name both the Captain and the Lieutenant became agitated as the Captain said "And You couldn't tell me this before!"
"Bu-But sir you told me to."
"2 months suspension, Officer. Now get the f*ck out of my face."
The officer gave a salute as he ran away thinking he was unfairly judged.
"What could be the reason for him to come here?" The Captain asked himself.
"I think it's because of Docks si-"
"I KNOW THAT LIEUTENANT! What I meant was why did HE come here."
The captain said and left that place with a quick stride with the lieutenant following him and as they came upon the main gate they saw him.
The man was clearly majestic with his blond hair and his 7 foot height. He wore designer clothes that were only made for a limited time and his aura was also heaven defying.
The officers looked at him from afar but none came close to him in fear.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU IMBECILES DOING! LET HIM IN" The Captain barked at them as they opened the gate as the MAN walked in.
The MAN walked quite slowly like he didn't give a shit because he didn't give a shit and both the duo royal force members came close to him and asked "Is there anything that you would like for us to do, Mr. Apollo."
The MAN said only one word to them and they did it immediately without any question or defiance.
"LEAVE"
