Chapter 360: Retaliation
Right after the meeting, the alliance of the Oder family, the Arkhen Corporation, Versailles Group, Rajhan Khan and the Demolition Knights swooped into action. This was because they were running out of time as once the city lord’s position debate was over, more characters might enter the field.
"Publish the articles."
Some media publications rolled out details of the investigation from four months ago, the memory of the event, and other terrorist activities, trying to utilise public sentiments to press down on Lucas. Although this wouldn’t be as effective since the focus of the public was elsewhere, it would still cause some harm.
Although the final Cabinet meeting would begin today, there was no saying that it would end on the same day. In fact, it wouldn’t be a surprise if the debate lasted for a week before a decision was reached. However, due to the nature and importance of the discussion, many predicted it to last between two to three days.
During this time, it was normal for some of the citizens to have their attention elsewhere, even if it was only for a while. That was what the alliance targeted.
But this wasn’t all they had planned.
The alliance of five forces also went to the Baylands City Patrol Corps to request an investigation into the operation of the Seven Sparks Forge store. This was because the store was previously suspected to be connected to a terrorist activity. However, shortly after Lucas’ disappearances, all charges had been dropped and the investigation was closed. Now though, they intended to reopen those cases. If successful, the Seven Sparks Forge store would be temporarily shut down before it could even properly open again.
Apart from that, the alliance went over to the Eretrean Vestige-smith League’s branch to request that they confirm the validity of Lucas’ temporary licence. They were suspicious that the licence might be fake, after all, Lucas was a human; it just didn’t make sense for him to attract the interest of a Tier 1 Grandmaster and gain enough approval to have a temporary licence. The purpose of doing this, apart from their suspicion, was to make Lucas look bad to the public.
"We have a problem."
Altimo contacted Lucas via a call and spoke up.
