Chapter 1716 Who Will Know? -Part 38
"Urgh… Where am I again?" Jin said but this time, he was seemingly resting on a rather comfortable pillow but the entire body was on hard ground.
"Just rest easy, Commander. You are in safe hands." Page whispered softly but as she wanted to comfort him even further, the ruckus from the rest of the Grey Bear Squad was being extremely noisy.
"I told you not to put the explosives over there!" Diaz argued with Click.
"You don't have to be here in the first place, I just needed that small little space to put my explosives so I can calculate the amount needed for the safe!"
"Can you just hurry already? I am getting tired." Tellie yawned as she saw the commotion happening at the side.
"I concur with Tellie. If you are still not done, we will get out of here." Yinn looked at the time passed and shook her head.
"But the treasure!" Click and Diaz said in unison. Page on the other hand decided to shout out.
"Commander is awake right now! Could you guys keep it down? He is still resting!"
"See, you take so much time that the commander is awake!" Click complained.
"Oh, sleepy head is up," Tellie said to herself and she clapped softly, wanting to see the commander.
"You were the one who asked for my help and now you complained that I'm a nuisance?" Diaz was beginning to be frustrated.
"What are they fussing about?" Jin asked as he knew there was no way he could rest or even sleep.
"They wanted to open the safe but their explosives were not working and so were the combination of codes. Tellie offered to shoot down the safe door but the people who wanted the treasure inside were afraid that she would burn everything inside with her energy blast."
"Commander! Are you okay?" Tellie came and said hi to Jin which he smiled gently and waved back.
"I assumed you want me to take charge of the situation, Tellie?" Jin asked and she nodded her head with happiness that she did not need to communicate with her commander for him to know her intentions.
"Well, good news. I think I can do that." Jin said as he stood up slowly and saw that Yinn also approached and saluted him for a moment.
"Sorry, Commander. There was a basement floor left and we wanted to make sure that there were indeed no more Mecha Fire Dragons within this underground facility. And also hope that this is the only facility that Parry City has that created those dragons. In the event of clearing the last basement…"
"Yeah, I get the gist from that. Let me handle those two kids." Jin said as he staggered a little at the start which Page managed to catch him and held him steady. "Thanks, I think I was too tired."
"Couldn't blame you on that. Even we saw that was a brilliant battle from you. It's a pity that the Daimon Citizens were not able to see you in action. They will fall in love with you even further." Page said and Jin smiled a little.
"It's fine, all that matters is the end result. When they see those monsters dead, that's all that matters." Jin replied.
"Are you not going to give a reply to Daimon Military? They might be waiting for your answer, or lack of answer."
"Well, no Mecha Fire Dragons leak out of the city. So, they can still worry a little more for me. There's no harm in that, right?"
"Yes."
"Besides, how can I address the public when I HAVE THESE TWO KEEP SQUABBLING IN FRONT OF ME!" Jin let go of Page and ran towards Click and Diaz who got scared by the sudden shouting from Jin as he grabbed the both of them, each in his arms, and subsequently pulled both of their cheeks.
"Ah, commander. Welcome back. Did not see you back there." Click's speech was fumbled by Jin's actions.
"Lies," Jin said as he continued to squeeze their cheeks even harder.
"Commander. Sowwrry. We keep quietttt noww," Diaz was not able to talk right too.
"Good." Jin let go of them and they knelt now to beg for forgiveness. "Seriously, these two. If you want to open it, you could have wake me up." Jin said and the both of them looked up with their heads tilted towards Jin, initially confused, and later that confusion turned to delight.
"Commander, you have the codes??!!" The both of them cried out with joy and Jin knocked both of their heads so fast, they could not even block it.
"Don't give me that crying baby face. I am not falling for it." He told the two girls.
"On a serious note, you have the code?"
"Ehh… yea," Jin realised he should not have said it out loud and just opened it up. Then he could make up some excuse that it was 'Magic~! And fiddled with his fingers which the Grey Bear Squad would subsequently ignore him and divert their attention to look at the treasures instead. The fact was that Syn had left a message for him as he was staggering towards Diaz and Click.
The mail's title read as passcode to the safe and when he opened it, the number was there. Perhaps, Syn had done it to reward Jin and the Grey Bear Squad for the massive sacrifice and work they had done.
"Where did you get it?" Click asked and Jin lied and stated that the code came when he killed the Fira Dragon.
"Honestly, I do not know whether the code could work or not. But it seems like a code for the safe since it was just numbers." Jin explained and suddenly those delighted faces turned sour.
"Why did we even bother thinking that he really does have it." Click sulked and Diaz had refused to see eye to eye with Jin. It was pretty obvious that both of them thought that what Jin had was a lie and they felt like they wasted their time patronising him since there was no way a code could just go to Jin's head after defeating that Fira Dragon.
