Chapter 1662 Daimon Aftermath -Part 11

"What do you mean?"

"We need to cut away things that bite the hand that feeds. Or else the hand will continue to rot and subsequently corrupt the body that moves the hand." Jin replied with a sigh. "If all of those City Lords are able to coordinate together and prevented from giving any help to Daimon all at the same time, it shows the power of Empire but it also shows how weak they are to the influence of the Empire."

"If other cities were like Parry City and decided to take in our ill, injured or maybe even send just a platoon of reinforcements while upholding the Empire's 'advice' I would have say that they were doing it to prevent themselves from being marked by the Empire and also helping their friends. That I would have understood."

"However, if our own intelligence service later retroactively concluded that those cities were not just barricading themselves, wanting to protect their people from the monster outbreak but were also dying to get a piece of Daimon after it had fallen, can you see how fragile and thin the alliance was?"

"They were preparing forces not to help Daimon, but they were preparing forces in order to take Daimon as part of their territory once Daimon had been overrun." Jin reiterated and Denise could not fault the loss of partners if those City Lords were really of this attitude.

"Meanwhile, spies had shown that Parry City was preparing beds and medical supplies for Daimon even when their barriers were up. They were willing to enter with a small escort force to aid Daimon should the fighting get extremely bad. However, they had no idea that Daimon Forces were able to kill off not one but two monster outbreaks in just one night."

"Reports had also shown that Parry City was the first to open their barrier when they saw the operation end flare but they were hesitant to go into our borders since they had no rights to in the first place now that the operation was over. Instead, they left countless medical supplies at the edge of their borders that when our immigration officers returned to the scene, were shocked by the amount they provided."

"Oh… no wonder the System said not to focus on making extra medical supplies but focus on reconstructing. I thought you and the System would rather just let the injured expire since that would be an easier fate for some of them."

"Heh, I was already dead on the bed during the cleanup, it was only later the System told me about it. Anyways, that is why even though I placed tariffs for Parry City, it was just a courtesy when the messenger went to meet their lord, I also gave them some compensation for their troubles."

"But I did not see any reduction of national coffers," Denise remembered no such entry when she was dealing with the City's finances.

"Because I used assets from those stupid old men from the military council," Jin replied with a slightly irritated tone when he talked about them.

"What happened to them, are they being jailed or something?"

"No, they were being let off once the operation was done and once I took their assets as part of the national coffers. General Grieves initially wanted to beg me into pardoning them but I told him that I had looked the other way just this once."

"Again, is that a right move? Personally, I feel that they will lead an internal rebellion or they would make ties with the Empire to bring you down further. You already said it yourself, why let the thing that bites the hand live? You will only be corrupting yourself."

"Oh no. I want them to lead me to the Empire. Sometimes you got to let go of a small bugger and they will lead you to bigger prey. Besides, Page had already deduced something that could frame them as long as managed to catch them to be in contact with the Empire." Jin said with a sinister smile. "But it will take some time. I do not think they will be that fast in contact with the Empire unless they feel threatened again. There are spies watching them 24/7 so we do not have to worry about it for the time being."

"They are military men, I do not think a few spies would be enough to faze them." Denise seemed to talk with experience and Jin laughed. She does not know that when it comes to certain spies, he actually meant the System. After all, when they were released, they were given a tracer on them. But that tracer was not the real tracing mechanism as it was the food they ate during their confinement that contained nanobots.

Most bodies especially military soldiers would have anti nanobots systems as part of their modules but this nanobot was made from the System. Once inside the human body, they will immediately go for the brain, giving them some headache initially but later ledged on them and never to come off while providing information to the System until his purpose is done.

It was scary that the System could create something like this but in reality, they could not. It's just that the manipulation of the codes were able to allow them to make this possible in a Virtual Simulation.

"So… suck on it, grumpy old men, there is no way for you to ever find peace when the System is forever tracing after you, listening and seeing whatever you do," Jin said and Denise laughed.

"Even while they are using the toilet?" And suddenly Jin covered his eyes as if it had been contaminated by Denise's suggestion and his own imagination.
