468 Commencement of city projects.
“They can’t see or hear us.” Darius explained to him.
“Is it the effect of an artifact?” Blake couldn’t help but ask because even how they got here was still a mystery.
“Not at all. At my level, I can control all components of nature to a certain extent. So all I did was manipulate the light rays hitting us and the wind that carried the sounds we make.” Colonel Darius explained with a smile on his face.
“Thanks for the explanation.” Blake gave a bow as the explanation had given him a form of insight into his year-long bottleneck.
“You are welcome.” Darius said.
Once again the area in front of them began coming closer and in an instant they found themselves in the main depot located at the heart of the region.
The area was littered with workers in masks packaging drugs and conveyor belts carrying packaged drugs to all resupply points in the area.
“This was way larger than I thought.” Blake said as they saw the large containers that released the different substances that the workers packaged.
“What do we have here?” Darius said causing Blake to turn to see someone looking in their direction.
.....
“From the look on his face, I don’t think he can see or hear us, but he can sense something.
The system quickly ran a scan on him and he turned out to be in the mid-tier person of the Demigod realm.
Although it was nothing compared to that of Angels, Demigods had a connection to nature which was why he felt something was out of place even though he wasn’t too sure.
“What is your next move, sir?” Blake asked.
“Arresting everyone, except you have any other thing in mind?” Darius asked.
“No sir!” Blake replied.
“Alright then.” Darius said before stretching forth his hand in a gun position.
Water bullet!
A droplet of water left his index finger instantly going through the skull of the demigod staring in their direction.
Thud!
The demigod’s body dropped to the floor causing everyone to turn in his direction to see a pool of blood. Immediately, everyone in the large room turned to Blake and Colonel Darius who were floating in the air.
Some of them wasted no time releasing their spells at the duo, while those who recognized the Colonel began moving toward the escape routes.
“God says kneel!”
With a single angelic pronouncement everyone in the room, including the few demigods dropped to their knees.
“I planned on arresting everyone, but it seems the demigod had an alarm in his heart. Now the entire depot has been alerted and everyone is fleeing.”
“Why have they decided to make life hard for all of us?” Darius shook his head as he let out a helpless sigh.
“I will be back.” Darius said before vanishing from the spot.
‘So he thinks like me, but just aloud.’ Blake thought but that was when he realized something.
‘Why would he leave me with all these people here?!’ Blake screamed in his head as he was now alone with hundreds of heroes and demigods.
[Relax they are unable to move.] The system said after scanning everyone in the room.
‘Not as if I am complaining, but how is that possible, he didn’t make a pronouncement apart from commanding them to kneel?’ Blake said.
[It is more complicated than it is, but all I can say is that pronouncements deal with will of the user, and not necessarily the words.] The system said causing Blake to ponder on its words while still keeping an eye on everyone just in case something was to happen.
“Sorry I wasted so much time, they were all hell-bent on escaping.” Darius said when he returned just a minute later.
‘What the fuck!’ Blake had seen the power of the colonel but it was still shocking to have killed hundreds of people in different areas all in under 1 minute.
“This would be a massive cleanup and arrest, so send in everyone you can to my coordinates.” Darius said to Ashley who in turn sent the message to everyone else.
“What do you think would be the way to go from here?” Colonel Darius asked as he turned back to Blake.
“…” Blake was confused by the question.
“I mean, how would you handle the cleanup, arrests and everything to reduce the power and reach of drug gangs in the city.” Darius asked. Blake was the smartest person he knew for his age, so he wanted to see things from his perspective.
“Firstly, I will interrogate those captured and they would provide info about others.”
“Second, I will improve health care because eliminating such a large depot will mean a shortage of drugs, thus a lot of withdrawal symptoms from addicts.”
“Third, I will still be on the lookout for other drug gangs because such a large power vacuum means resources and customers to expand their range of activities.”
“Finally, I will buff up the security at the walls because from there we can eliminate more than half of the city’s supply.” Blake said.
“That was more than brilliant!” Colonel Darius was so impressed that he had no clue when he began clapping.
“Thank you sir.” Blake said.
“I am not sure all of them can be implemented but I will surely inform His Highness prince Bryon about this. He would definitely make them part of his plans for the city.” Colonel Darius said.
In less than 10 minutes, the ash corps had arrived at the scene and began making arrests and seizing every ounce of drug in the depot.
After 4 days of thorough cleanup, all that was left now was deciding what the depot would be converted into.
This also meant the 80% wipeout of the cobra mob and the go-ahead for the projects for the city to begin.
