"Yes, what's the problem here?"
Akagi inquired Juzou and Mike from the Helecters, one of the Fraternity's base located in TYZ, far from Brittonian's eyes reach. Rather in a colossal warehouse or a factory, buzzing sound of drilling and cutting metal sparkling surround the place, input and assembled something.
"You tell me Shinsuke?" Juzou asked Akagi in a sulky manner,
"Tell you what?"
"About the Imperial blockade around the Ninth Island-City? They will be deployed in few days. We haven't ready yet,"
"Don't worry, I got everything arranged. And for you two— order your Helecter men to boost the production,"
"They've been working for 5 hours straight."
"Make it 12 then, I want results, how will you do it doesn't concern me. Use the Gate to teleport if have to, make it work."
"Puff. Fine whatever Samesty."
Juzou, being Juzou, puffed tiredly went back to work overseas the construction, punished the workers with whip, being rude as ever.
As being exceptionally gifted, and brutal mutant individuals, also helped Akagi to retake the Maha Throne, as unpaid courtesy he assigned both Juzou and Mike Gustav to command their dissolved Helecter's Corp as Field commanders, ensure morale, oversee given assignments, boss over underling during pre-war time whatnot.
"Hey, is it true?" Mikoto inquired Akagi jadedly, "Misaki is really gone?"
"Afraid so Mikoto," Akagi nodded sadly confirmed his doubt, "Didn't she tell you?"
"No... I mean, yes, got her message yesterday, about leaving everything behind, wanted me to see her off, Aragh I was busying. Thought she's kidding at first, never imagine - how cold my sister had become, thought I'd make up for her, for the lost time. All hopes went into gutter."
"Hmm..."
"Anyway, what happened to Misaki's criminal empire? She couldn't just leave there."
"Split into amongst the underbosses I guess."
"Yeah. But if anyone demands a large share, makes a scuffle, those nasty impudent, hot-headed bastards: Bullet in the head before reason."
"Relax Mikoto. She's lot stronger than you think, smarter and tougher too. She'd think of something before leaving."
"If you say so..."
"Don't lose hope Mikoto." Akagi tenderly pat Mikoto's shoulder, "Who knows someday you will see her again, focus on your assignment, work hard, and I will make it will happen."
"You aren't as pure evil as Brittonia perceive to be Shinsuke."
"Oh no. I'm on a whim of good mood right now, but you don't wanna see my bad-side,"
Seeing his affable tenderness, Mikoto prise gone silent after Akagi's answer, despite he said in a jovial manner–
"Anyway, where is Nakajo Tomotaki? I want to talk to him."
"That psycho redhead." Mikoto scoffed in disdain, "Back in his nest. Across the road 15th avenue Rosy apartment."
As followed Akagi gone to the 15th avenue apartment where he holds a special guest.
"Vivian my friend, how's my friend treating you?"
With the humblest inquiry one's wellbeing Akagi inquired Vivian, the leader of the Scavenger. Sit on the couch along couple of main heads of the Fraternity's: Nakajo Tomotaki, and Akutsu Nobeshiba.
"Fair enough." Vivian replied gloomily, bowing his head,
"You remember what I said, when my guys dragged you to me, after your group decimated, being helpless, cowering in fear, who spared your life? Who gave you shelter when Imperium army sniffing dogs searching for you?"
"You did..."
"Mmm... Despite your betrayal, when I took you in remember what you said in return?"
"Hmm..."
"What?"
"You said 'I been for your debt. You may use us whenever you wish,'"
"Assembled your men, we'll gave you arms, money and your freedom in order to complete a certain task."
The word "freedom" sparkled Vivian's head like onslaught, out of his hopeless mind.
"To do what?"
"To deliver these—
While speaking, through the door Fumihiro brought a statue of IADS. A memorial memento on a trolley in front of everybody.
"What is that?"
"Can't you see? A memento clads in solid plaster a decorative piece I want you to deliver in the IADS tomorrow, simple as that. As for the reward I manage to find your Sokoyo Yin for you."
"W-What!? She's alive!?"
"Of course. After you finished the job, I will handle her over."
"S-sure... I will. Not by blood but she's only family I have."
Out of his depression in an instant, Vivian exclaimed with flicker of hope, asked Akagi.
However, the others were not much. Specially for those who executed for his behest. A blatant lie to motivate Vivian become zealous enough to execute the task with conviction.
"All due respect, that's two men job maybe three. What about rest of my lieutenants?"
"Well I can't let everything in chances, can't I? Take all your men, just make sure it is done correctly. Tomorrow you will head over there."
"And Nobeshiba!"
"Hm?"
"Let's put your mutant men to the test, are they competent enough? I have another job for you too."
"I obey your Samesty." Nobeshiba nodded, bowed in a vaguely contemptuous fashion, can be averted.
On edge of the door, Akagi halted, turned neck back on his shoulder, warning him--
"That's all for today and Nobeshiba. If I hear that tone again, I have my men, cut your tongue out."
"B-but!?"
"Don't waste time arguing, get back to work."
