Chapter 15 (1/2)

Of Course

The ’s topic was sianization’s research facility Securing the facility would provide theh Tech Armor “Harrison”

Beatle was a anization, one of the defenders of Justice Beatle was different fro the population

Beatle’s Ary to enhance his battle capabilities, using thrusters and boosters This made his movements faster and much more deadly

Normally, Metallica would have also dispatched some power armor to match Beatle, but this time, it was impossible Beatle’s “Harrison” was too advanced for the Company’s standard armor

A while back, when Beatle’s faerous to fall into eneanization then ordered the research to be classified so the project went underground

If you think about it, the n and Execute

Neito expected the er than expected

[With that, we’ll be sending C rank employee and 10 combatants froh to infiltrate and capture the facility]

Ikeno, who headed the , was too focused on details It was just… a waste of time

[We only need 1 person to secure the files and armor After the infiltration, he will head to west japan and deliver the data and ar as Beatle is not there, there should be no problem]

Ikeno’s nerves were already twitching fro

It’s true… if Beatle won’t be there, that force should be enough But…

Neito disagreed with the idea

[Lets not waste unnecessary resource on destroying structures, instead, lets keep our attack force small We will have the element of surprise on our side e capture the facility

That concludes my plan Any objections?]

AsIkeno looked for reaffir were already agreeing a as there’s a unit to capture the facility, then they would just approve since they had no part in it The plan was simple and was rather “too peaceful”

But Neito was against the plan

It’s true that it was the first ti, and He s But…

Neito voiced out

[I’ainst the plan]

Everybody at once looked at Neito One of thely tone

[Hahaha…Hey Komori, nobody asked for your opinion]

Metallica’s planning co were no amateurs, they were professional in their specialized field, but most of all, they were evil people The pressure they are facing is huge but, Neito couldn’t let them cut corners on this plan

[Actually, let us hear your opinion Komori]

It was the Sales Department’s Chief, Izumi, who came to his aid

Neito then continued

[… We should destroy the facility completely Not only will this create panic within the facility, but we can use this as a diversion to secure the data]

[What!?]

The rooot it It was the direct opposite of the plan The plan was just to stealthily infiltrate the facility and secure the data, avoiding unnecessary fights Not only did the infiltration unit lack the force to fight, but the eneainst the infiltrators

[Would youKomori?]

Izumi then spoke out amid chaos

[I believe that this is the necessary action to take Maybe, as Ikeno suggested, if Beatle wasn’t there, then we could capture the facility But what about Harrison’s researchers?]

Ikeno got triggered by Neito words

[What heck are you trying to say?! Since ould have captured the facility, they have no other choice but to obey us!]

[I think you’re mistaken They may yield to us physically, but not mentally]

As Neito continued, He once again felt that feeling The feeling when he confronted shi+geta, and that time he decided to shoot down Dylan

A Cold and Dark feeling enveloped hi words then came out

[Won’t they be waiting for Beatle to recue them?]

[A hero of justice always arrives late We can’t let them have their hopes up Everybody knows that]

[We must entirely crush those hopes up and break their hearts5 will infiltrate the facility Eliminate anyone who stands in the way, and then destroy the whole facility entirely We will rob the they have and take them as prisoners]

[…You…]

Neito became the center of attention in the room

[You know… not all opinions are appreciated in Metallica…]

Ikeno then started thinking of objections to Neito’s Idea

[In the current public’s view, Metallica holds a lot of influence in society, but in the long run, is that influence going to last? You don’t have to be on the side of justice in order for you to have control over the world But, defeating that Justice would hold a lot ofpublic opinion will ultimately lead to world doet the public’s approval ]

[… and then?] /Note: Not sure who said this, but it is either Neito or Izumi/

[In other words, an Evil Organization can not be always an Evil Organization We need to achieve our goals in the following years to gain public approval Then ould be able convince the public that we are on their side The case lays the same here Harrison’s research facility is not known in public and I doubt its whereabouts are not well known If we go in quietly and peacefully, retrieve the data and materials, the matter would just be hushed up in secret It would be passed down in the shadows and the matter would just slip away quietly I believe it is iood reputation in the eyes of the public]

/Note: This was Ikeno’s speech/

Ikeno had the spotlight again in the room, the room became quiet at the persuasiveness of the speech

[Who said that we need to go in a “quiet and peaceful” manner? In anization, should abide by that… And that “Long run” you said, how many years would that take? 10 years? 100 years?](Note: Neito speaking)

[Why you…!]

Neito had no plans of backing down He wasn’t planning waiting Much less go by “quiet and peaceful” methods

[Instead of going for the uncertain method, I think we should crush every enemy one by one It is the fastest and most effective way]

He had no plans of containing the evil within him
