Chapter 48: Fear and coldness
As soon as the fat man noticed the duo barge into his office, a sharp light appeared in his eyes. Mayor Clacius’ Wave Talent and fear of battle made it he barely reached Level 2, but that was also a testament to his sharp mind. Or else, there is no way he would have become the mayor of a city with almost a million people with such poor personal strength.
Cain and Levi’s mission consisted of hunting down a group of criminals that broke into the city’s armory, stole military goods, and killed a guard. All that took place two days ago, and the criminals had since vanished into the forest beyond the city’s walls.
Rouk City had soldiers and a well-structured police force, as one would expect. Still, while they were enough to keep order inside the walls, sending them after the criminals into the forest would result in significant casualties. Not to mention that it could provoke chaos among the city’s population.
The Imperial Military Force handled all problems beyond a city’s scope to avoid unnecessary losses. Those missions helped train their soldiers in other aspects beyond the battlefield, so it was a win-win situation.
The fact they were detected and forced to use violence made it clear that the criminals were beneath Level 4, which is why the higher-ups assigned the mission to cadets.
As the mayor, Clacius should have been doing everything in his power to assist the cadets so that they would resolve the crime in the shortest amount of time possible, but anyone could see by now that things were not so simple.
Although Cain and Levi looked imposing with their Wave Armors, there was no fear in Clacius’ eyes. The Godslayer Humankind Empire had rules, and even if not, there was still the Level 4 Astral Wave Warrior by his side.
.....
‘Damm brats, how dare they barge into my office like that.’ Clacius was furious but did not dare his emotions to show themselves and greeted the duo with a cordial smile.
