Chapter 1730 Aftermath of Parry City's Incident -Part 12

"What's the matter with you? What happened to the usually rational personality that you have?" Lynn questioned and Jin spoke out.

"I do not wish to lose you. You may want to do this in the long haul even after I got my body back. But no, after I held your slightly charred hands last night, something inside me triggered. It brought back something that I never thought I would experience again."

"The fear of losing someone," Jin said solemnly in the elevator.

"I thought I got away with that after Grandpa's funeral but no, it had always been there ever since I had you beside me," Jin said as the elevator reached the first floor and they found out that the entire Grey Bear Squad was waiting for him at the main lobby.

"Sister Lynn!" Tellie waved as she was the first to spot them. The rest immediately stood up and ran towards them to check on Lynn's condition.

"Lynn, I have to admit that what you did was cool despite it being extremely dangerous," Yinn said as she opened her hands up for a hug which Lynn reciprocated.

"Commander, we saw quite a number of officials going up to meet you. We can bring Lynn away for some R & R while you deal with your bureaucratic bullshit." Diaz said but Jin shook his head.

"I quit as of a few minutes ago," Jin replied and it made the Grey Bear Squad members speechless for the moment. "We are going to Daimon Airport and board the plane that goes closest to Mount Sunn. From there, we are going to power you guys up and we attack the Royals."

"There are not many planes that would travel there though." Page checked as Jin was talking.

"But there is one that could do that if the price is right." A familiar voice echoed from behind and they noticed it was 2LT Cloudie. "The Helicarrier had been repaired, refuelled. On the ex Interim Leader's orders, I can bring you there."

"You sure? I am not kidding when I said I had stepped down from being the Interim Leader of Daimon."

"I guess you have your reasons." 2LT Cloudie said and told them that he also had a jeep rented so they could all sit in it. Jin agreed to it readily and they set to move out before the government officials caught up with what was happening and decided to chase after Jin.

And that scene actually happened as Jin was able to get onto the rental jeep, the officials came down, asking for an explanation as he could see Denise was not able to hold them away. It was only when they were in the car, the squad started talking to each other despite having 2LT Cloudie inside.

"What?! Do you want to take down the Royals because you had enough? What kind of reasoning is that?" Diaz asked as she did not understand Jin's excuse a single bit.? "Isn't it more like because you had enough of them, that's why you are doing all these preparations at the back end? And when you truly step down from being an Interim Leader, you will lose all access to Daimon's military power and the connections it brings to you as well."

"Besides, Jin. What makes you think that removing the Royal is the end goal?" Yinn asked and Jin sighed.

"Kill the Royal through official combat and take over the crown. That was what General Grieves proposed." Jin said.

"The old duelling method?" Page asked as it seemed she was well versed with it. "However, that method is so flawed that it would be impossible to challenge them. You need lots of money and the odds are stacked against you."

"That I know. Which is why we are going to do the Three Winged Angel Dungeon in the Empire's capital, Bearling once we reequipped you guys at Old Flammet's place." Jin said and he explained that there was actually a secret dungeon that the Archduke had mentioned (obviously, he lied here, but there is no way he could reveal to the Grey Bears that Syn was the one who told them that.)

"So, you want us to fight the hell out of this Dungeon King and get something that will be supposedly useful against the Royals?"

"Yes, and while the Archduke does not know, what it is. I can assume it is of significant power that could turn the tide. Using whatever that was obtained, we will challenge the Royals to the official duel."

"You still got to build the fortress of whatever crap the Royals wanted, you know that, correct?" Click answered and Jin nodded his head as if he had that covered too. "That would be done in a jiffy so, you don't have to worry about that."

"Then all this subterfuge to get the Pandarens to get those dungeon materials is for?" Tellie asked since he told them that he initially wanted Monster Infused Mechanoids to be created.

"Those were initially to be used as backup but from what I learned, the ability to put all these various monster parts and enhance them into an ability for the Mechanoids was something that had not been physically possible. They can recreate Monster Mechanoids but for some reason could not do the same for Humanoid Mechanoids. Denise told me separately that they are close to a breakthrough but it takes some time."

"And time is something you are unable to spare." 2LT Cloudie who had been listening commented.

"Something like that. The more time I waste here, it is not beneficial. I know you do not understand where I am coming from but I have other better places to be." Jin replied to 2LT Cloudie and he took it as 'Do not ask anymore, I can't comment on it."

"In short, you are setting up yourself for a hell of a path to walk just to topple the King of this Empire just because of personal vendetta and not for the good of the Empire."

"Hey, no one says I cannot be selfish." Jin shrugged his shoulders and the Grey Bears knew they were in for a hell of a ride.
