"Thank you, general," said the duo.
'Now, Now. Hold your horses right now. Even though you both have been promoted. It's not official yet. Remember the next mission servers as an examination' said the general.
The excitement from both Alden and Shimo that filled the whole place with positive vibes was instantly shot down.
'Wait, does that mean we are the ones who are going to lead the investigation too?' asked Alden.
'Yes, you are… and good luck with it' replied the general with a smirk on his face.
'Ahh… Shit' exclaimed Alden.
Even though shimo realized that they were given a very tough mission with almost no major lead to investigate on. He didn't feel worried about those.With a Bold tone he said,
"It does matter whether it's tough or not, we will do it as always." Shimo gleamed with happiness.
'Whatever you say, The Strongest' said Alden with an annoyed face.
'Then, first let's gather all the information we have' said Alden in a stern voice.
Both Shimo and the general nodded their heads to Alden.
'Right now, We know they are manufacturing weapons, They are selling top quality machinery to militias. Which is either of these two things. One, They are trying to ignite the war between the militias.Two, They might be in need of a lot of money and want it as cold cash'
"Meaning?" asked Shimo
'That the weapons manufacturer might be wanted criminal and is on the run' Alden said this while organizing the information in an arranged manner.
Shimo added, "In must be only one of these, As funding a war cost a lot of money and if their motive is making money, they probably wouldn't have chosen the other way"
General added, 'They might be trying to gain trust using this opportunity and increasing their strength for other objectives'
Alden heard both the general and shimo, while he was analyzing the weapon's blueprints.The mechanism was quite complex for him to understand but he understood the main principle behind the weapons.
That is rather than blades or bullets being special the entire material as well as the source of their power was modified from a normal weapon.
The weapons holded a few resemblance to their normal weapon.
"The heads of the militias might know more about the weapons manufacturer, We must make sure to capture them alive and investigate them" said Shimo. While seeing the photos of heads of the militias.
'But, Still the motive of the manufacturer remains unknown' said the general.
Alden quickly grabbed the blueprints and pointed towards the general and said, 'Have a high level weapons specialist analyze this weapon'.
'The weapon blueprint might shed some light on the true motive of the manufacturer' exclaimed Alden
Shimo and the general were unsure about the statement made by Alden, as their thought was different from him.
The General asked Alden, 'And why might you think like that?' for those words alden smirked and replied, 'I don't know , Maybe a gut feeling'.
'I will have these analyzed as soon as possible but analyzing a special weapon might take more time than you think it will, as there are only a few special weapon analysts' said the general.
'Please do,' said alden.
'As of now , We are going to catch these bastards,' Alden said while pointing his hand towards the photos of the heads of the militias.
