Isaac

Unexpected Clue (8)

- …… I need a detailed explanation.

When Isaac's expression is weak, and he can't find much response from the three of them, the man standing behind him approaches and whispers something in his ear, Duke Pendleton shouts ferociously.

What are you doing?

He sighed to see if Isaac was fed up with his daughter's untimely love, and Libya opened her distance and said.

“We have a suspect in connection with Calden's death. ”

“Really? Let's go, shall we? ”

- Where are you going?

“My territory is still in chaos. We need to go clean up the mess. It's not the same as not being able to protect the boss because he always takes his place. ”

I know you're right, but it's awkward for Isaac to say that.

- You haven't even started the meeting.

According to the emperor, Isaac smiles in relief.

“Am I qualified to decide the future of the Empire?" I just need you to let me know what's going on and what's been decided. ”

- Your sentence is also to be determined.

“I'll leave it all to you. Or do we leave a deputy director? ”

- Does that mean you'll take whatever punishment comes your way?

“Of course. I want a wise verdict. ”

Mixed with the emperor's warnings, Isaac looks down, angrier, and leaves the conference room for a moment, followed Isaac out of the conference room.

- Ta-da!

Duke Pendleton calls out earnestly towards Libria, but he bows his head in scowl at the sight of running away without even giving him a look.

As Isaac and Libria go out, they only take a sip of the car and say, as if reminding of the stunned queen.

- You said it was the agent that made you wait for this to end?

Well, you have to admit, that's a fair bit of information.

- My daughter ignored me…….

The expression of the emperor who looks and recognizes the queen as choosing the occasion, who doesn't conceal his frustration, or even the Duke of Pendleton who doesn't care about himself.

Along with Central's top decision-makers, Solande is left with a cold sweat in his nervous demeanor, as if by a predator's cage.

“Ah! I forgot to ask you why you can't see the warden. ”

Isaac mutters as he walks down the street. The Chief of Surveillance did not show up despite the critical and urgent decisions to make. There was a degree of mysticism, but now I can't wait to see the real face.

“By the way, I heard the warden was summoned to the Supreme Council. ”

“Hmm? Why all of a sudden? ”

Surprised by what she said, she regretted why I followed her.

“…… before you heard the reason. ”

“I'll ask you again later. ”

Isaac clears his throat and turns to look at Libria's pathetic gaze, and she glances at Isaac once and says,

“How's Leia doing? ”

“Kid? You haven't woken up. Maybe you should come visit me sometime later. ”

“I understand.”

“By the way, who's the suspect in the arrest? ”

“Ratra is the General Manager of Storage Management. ”

“Where have I heard that name before? ”

“Really? Anyway, they caught you trying to get out of the city. 500,000 gigawatts of bearer bonds underwater. ”

“500,000? You did the right thing. ”

“But the accusation is being denied. ”

“You'll see. ”

The garrison, the base of the mercenary army, was built in a vacancy provided by the city, and the training ground and other training facilities were well equipped to make use of it as a basic military academy for the territory's indispensable citizens.

A group of fully armed mercenaries appear at the training ground at such an encampment, raising their manners as Isaac shows up.

“Phew!"

“What? What the hell is this? ”

As Isaac approaches, looking at the mercenaries' uneasy manners with a grumpy look on his face, the mercenaries quickly bring a prepared chair, and Isaac naturally drags a man to scream as he sits down.

“Ah, Isaac, it's unfair! I didn't kill Mr. Calden! ”

As soon as he is dragged out and sees Isaac, Isaac looks away from the man who grabs his cowardly gear and legs and complains about his injustice.

“Where have you seen him so many times? ”

Rat desperately mutters, crossing his arms as if he couldn't remember.

“It's me! Rat! This is the rat who pledged his allegiance to Isaac and served with all his heart while serving as Deputy Minister of the Security under the former Dinozo! ”

“Ah! I remember. Didn't you die picking on Lacha? ”

“No! At that time... ”

“Never mind. Did you kill Calden? ”

“No! This is a trap! Somebody set me up! ”

I thought Isaac heard how desperate he was shouting.

“They say it's an alias?”

Isaac clears his feet to get rid of the rats and then suddenly approaches and asks for a blender emptying his palms, who confidently presents the evidence to Isaac.

“500,000 gigawatts worth of bearer bonds in his arms. ”

“No! That's... I mean... I was blinded by the money for a while and stole the gambling den's money. I never killed Mr. Calden! ”

When the mercenaries desperately shouted at Isaac's feet again, Isaac received a note and handed it over to Libya, who was looking at it, nodding her head.

“Obviously, these bonds were being kept as the gambling parcel's working capital. ”

Liberia says the rat noticeably recovers its complexion, sighing of relief, and rolling around after Isaac's kick. Isaac stares at the bent rat holding his face and lights a cigarette nervously.

“What talent did this bastard have to gamble with? ”

“Perhaps the gambling parlor was involved in the raids. ”

“Oh, my God. Sit up straight. ”

At Isaac's command, the mercenaries grabbed Isaac by the arms of a dying, breathing rat and made him look at Isaac.

“Lord, help me! I'm sorry.”

“Hmm? It's okay. It's okay, I get it. If you see big money in front of your eyes, everyone will be shaken. It could be. I'm not that petty. ”

“Thank you! Thank you! ”

Rats expressing their gratitude, stooping on their backs, Isaac said.

“The gambling booth was robbed anyway. I was trying to get rid of the loss. Take it. ”

“Huff! Really? ”

“So, do you think I'm lying? ”

“No! The lord is not like that. ”

“Right? But I mean, I have a question. If you untie it, I'll let you go right away.If you go to 500,000, you won't have to worry about living anywhere. ”

“I'll tell you everything I know. ”

Isaac nods with a satisfied look to see if you like the way the rat reacts.

“Why did you try to run away now? ”

“Yes?”

Isaac's question hardens the rat's expression.

“No matter how I think about it, it's weird. If you're good enough to watch the gambling den get robbed by the mob, you'll get your share. That's why you took the money, isn't it? Then why did he try to run away now? ”

“ ……. ”

“The mob won't be able to see who took the money anyway. So you could just die quietly and run away when things calm down. I don't care if you're missing or not, why were you caught trying to run away right now? You want to spend it right now because you got big money in your hands? Or were you the only one who had a chance to escape? ”

“... Hehe! ”

As Isaac speaks, Rat's gaze shifts as he looks at Isaac dazed. As the mercenaries' hands grip Isaac's horse for focus, he seizures and releases the pistol from his lap.

The rat who pulled the trigger on the mercenary's heart on the left with such a clever move that even Libria couldn't respond, said, "Bam! At the sound of 'the mercenary fell down, he pulled the mercenary on his right side, wrapped around his neck with one arm, and shouted with a gun to his temple.

“If you don't want to kill the hostages, don't move! ”

The mercenaries do not react as soon as their companions fall, along with the first blast they hear. Libya hardens from a position to draw her sword when the mercenaries are taken hostage.

“…… It's you. ”

Isaac stood up slowly, smiling brightly, and Rat stepped back and pointed a gun at Isaac.

“Don't come! I'll kill you!"

The rat threatens to pull the trigger with a gun pointed in every direction. Bang, bang! A bullet bounces off Livilla's sword, drawn like lightning with the 'Sword.'

“That's enough, right? I have so many questions for you. I think we should have an honest conversation for a long time. ”

Isaac smiles brightly as he approaches his friend, who seems to have met him for a long time. Rat's eyes blur.

“Myself, what am I……. ”

“Hmm?"

When Isaac felt a sense of camaraderie in his actions, his eyes returned to him and he smiled.

“You don't know anything. ”

“Stop!”

Libria shouts in haste, but she pushes the hostage she's holding, pulls the trigger with a gun to her chin. My head flew like a fountain with the sound of ‘bang!'

Isaac regards the fallen rat's corpse quietly and puts a new cigarette in his mouth and lights it on fire.

“Didn't you check your belongings? ”

“Surrender quietly when captured... This is my responsibility!" I can't believe you have such a dangerous weapon... Kill me! ”

The mercenaries stare at the rat, making an impression. He likes to build a big ball, but even the most basic weapons test reveals his bluntness, putting Isaac in danger, and the important killer commits suicide.

“I've done well in the past, so I'll pass. Don't let your guard down next time. ”

“I'll keep that in mind.”

Isaac kicks his tongue over once, and the mercenaries bow their heads in awe at Isaac. Meanwhile, Isaac bends over and picks up the loose ammunition. The hot shells were the same kind of shells that scattered the back of Calden's head.

“You don't understand. Something doesn't feel right...... ”

As Isaac writhes his bullets and mutters, Libya comes to finish fixing the dead mercenaries.

“How did Rat have a pistol? No, how else do you know how to use a pistol? ”

“I see... ”

Despite that, Isaac tilts his head to think of a more indescribable glamour. If you know how to use a gun, you have no reason to get caught by mercenaries.
