Chapter 91: Day 215 (4) – Superman

We left the Assembly Chamber and made our technique to the place Tyrese had the crystal reserves beneath guard always. Even when there was an try and steal the crystals, it might be not possible for 2 causes. First, they had been in chests, every chest was heavy even with Physique upgrades and usually required two folks.

The second challenge, was the place to cover them or use them? The one place they might be used was a retailer. So, to steal the crystals required an individual to entry the shop with the guards controlling it. That meant to get our reserves, the guards must be defeated. If that occurred town could be on fireplace and lots of people lifeless.

“I do know we talked about taking over factors, however there have been some emergency bills, that I wished to carry onto the reserve for,” Tyrese defined as we walked to the reserves. I believed we agreed to retailer crystals, however I wasn’t about to argue maintaining the uncooked crystals.

“Like what?” I requested out of curiosity.

“Medical care. I’ve paid town reserves again, however I don’t hold any of my crystals free. An excessive amount of danger and demand from my folks.” Or plots you needed to repay and investments to create minions. Ruth didn’t was getting her crystals from someplace. “Truthfully it was Ben who confirmed me why we would have liked liquid reserves, simply in case.”

“The safety is respectable. And what’s somebody going to do? Perform all these heavy chests?” Ken requested with a chuckle.

“Nonetheless, we have to improve safety sooner or later. Who is aware of what expertise are on the market? We may also must create grasp stranger protocols. What a headache.”

“Grasp, stranger?” Tyrese requested.

“Individuals with expertise who can management others or sneak by. Regardless, we want protocols of some variety to stop such a state of affairs. Like double verification, set instances to open the vault, and questioning of anybody making an attempt to take away crystals.”

“I’ll discover somebody to look into making a system like that. You actually like giving different folks work, don’t you?” Tyrese requested.

“Properly, we will at all times change jobs. You may examine and struggle unknown monsters, and I can keep right here and sleep on a snug mattress and get prompt cheap issues to do,” I replied.

“Hmm, suggestion,” Tyrese set free a hum.

“Ack! ACK!” Ken set free some clearly suspicious coughs. I rolled my eyes.

“Should you don’t like my concepts say so. But when we lose the crystals and also you didn’t do every part potential, they’re popping out of your pocket.”

“It’s fantastic, there may be nothing to fret about. On the second flooring. Come on,” Tyrese led us previous the guards and to a room on a second flooring. I famous the door was open and Tyrese paused. After all. Why wouldn’t the complete crystal reserve be stolen proper now?

“The place are all of the chests?” Tyrese was barely restraining himself from shouting as he seemed on the guard.

“Accountant Ben mentioned you wanted all of them on the pillars to improve town since Champion Michael has returned and it was an emergency.”

I walked again and picked up my sword as Tyrese and his guards came to visit. He checked out me after which at Ben screaming on the bottom along with his melted flesh. “Why?” Tyrese requested.

Ben simply saved screaming in ache as blood got here out and combined along with his melted flesh. Tyrese checked out me and I lastly spoke up. “Ready till he’s weak first. A cornered rat is probably the most harmful. Most likely higher to let him bleed out.” I wasn’t about to get shut and provides him the possibility to show the tables on me by grabbing me along with his excessive Physique stat. Let’s not get our head popped.

Tyrese gave me a glance. Oh, I additionally didn’t need to reveal I used to be brief on power proper now and he in all probability suspected one thing since I hadn’t completed Ben off at vary. The upper price of Acid Shot meant that I used to be restricted within the variety of makes use of I had.

“Shoot him.” Tyrese mentioned and a few guards with bows shot their arrows. They barely sunk into Ben in any respect. Attention-grabbing. All of this was one thing I suspected would occur at excessive Physique, but it surely was good to have affirmation.

Extra arrows had been shot into the dying man, and he lastly expired on the bottom, a bloody mess and stuffed stuffed with arrows like a porcupine. “What a multitude,” Tyrese mentioned, and I used to be positive he wasn’t simply referring to the corpse.

“That was 750,000 factors,” I mentioned, and I may inform Tyrese winced at that. Even for me that was a large sum. That was when Ken lastly confirmed up guards in tow.

“Its over?” Tyrese simply sighed and Ken checked out me.

“The offender is lifeless, however he used up 750,000 factors from the final fund that had been meant for metropolis upgrades,” I mentioned.

“It was Ben,” Tyrese mentioned.

“I see,” Ken glanced on the melted and bloody corpse. Some folks trying in, rapidly walked away as guards secured a fringe. This was a well-recognized sufficient sight that none of us felt queasy. It made me mirror on how far I had come. “This, properly this isn’t good. Individuals will demand solutions,” Ken checked out Tyrese who was nonetheless attempting to recover from every part that had simply occurred.

“I…ought to I step down?” Tyrese muttered. Ken checked out me. Nice, why did I’ve to determine? I knew why, since I had killed my technique to the highest.

“Ken, you understand how folks will react, and the Union?” I checked out him.

“There might be a riot. That many factors and the demand for extra social spending. It isn’t good.” There was no discuss of attempting to cowl up what had simply occurred. The plaza was many issues, however discrete wasn’t certainly one of them.

It was tempting to dump the blame on Tyrese and get upset with him, but it surely simply wasn’t sensible. He saved issues operating easily with the guards so far as I may inform.

“Tyrese stays in cost. However the crystal storage should have not less than two of us current to take something out of there. Additionally grasp stranger protocols, determine them out and rapidly. We’ll make purchases for town once I come again,” I mentioned.

“Will he must refund the crystals?” Ken requested. Tyrese checked out me, I seemed up on the sky. A small white cloud was drifting by.

“I…” Tyrese simply trailed off. I understood the place he was coming from. This was on him, and it was enormous. However throwing him beneath the bus for a short lived profit, even a big non permanent profit like 750,000 factors, simply wasn’t value it.

Alternatively, not doing something would see stress fall onto Ken and folks could be upset. I needed to give you a 3rd choice. Assume. A minute handed by, however the close by guards saved anybody from bothering us. I used to be actually tempted simply to kill everybody, however that wasn’t an actual answer, and would solely result in extra issues.
