My Space-Time System

509 Promotion.

After checking Duststar’s record, and confirming his suspicions Blake had to return to the Serene Angel hotel to digest the massive discovery he had just made.

“I can’t believe that millions of people die every beast just so that the royal for the royal family to profit.” Blake said as he opened the door to his room and crashed on the bed.

[What do you plan on doing next?] The system asked.

“To be honest, I have no clue.” Blake let out a helpless sigh. “My original plan was to uncover the mystery, share it with the rest of the world, and make a name for myself or get a reward.”

“Also, I thought that by uncovering the cause of the beast tide I would get a clue of my purpose here, but it turns out that all my effort had been for naught.”

Spreading the news was not an option, instead, it was suicide. The beast tide affected all parts of infinite realm meaning the 3 empires were all involved in it.

So releasing the news would not only make him a target of the 3 empires but it would send the entire realm into chaos because the citizens would massively protest.

Every adventurer or ash corp that was killed by beasts was in one way or another related to someone, so they would all be blamed on the empires.

“So gullible of me to think I would be the one to solve something that has been plaguing the human race since the beginning of time.” Blake couldn’t help but shake his head.

.....

[If you think about it, the royal family isn’t using the thranium crystals for only their selfish ambitions, but they are being used for the benefit of the citizens. For example, the expansion of the walls that in turn improved the lives of the citizens.] The system said.

“I know, but that doesn’t mean they are totally doing it for the citizens.” Blake said. “I guess I am just disappointed for not figuring out anything.” Blake said.

…

Back at Duststar’s Square.

Once the ash corps units from Calton had arrived at Duststar, they went straight to work. They first placed all the ash corps of Duststar under house arrest including Major Garret, before beginning the interrogation process on the captured members of the Cobra mob.

The interrogating team used lie detectors on the mob members. As for those that didn’t want to cooperate, they used a mind-reading artifact to forcefully extract the information from them.

The mind-reading artifact was the final option because the forceful extraction of information damaged the mind of the victim.

The extent of damage depended on the mental fortitude and will of the victim. Those with very low will and mental fortitude had a chance of becoming braindead or deranged.

Nonetheless, the extraction of information from the mob members was very quick and efficient. In no time, names were flying out from their minds and mouths.

The ash corps unit from Calton had to request for more units to be sent over because the names were so many. The names not only included corrupt ash corps officials, but also other gangs, merchants, top business owners, and a lot of nobles.

Once the backup arrived, they began making arrests and occupying the empty positions of the arrested ash corps.

With the arrests of new people, more names came out and more arrests were made. The names were so much that the citizens of Duststar thought that everyone in the city was being arrested, but that just showed how much corruption had eaten into the city.

What was going on was turning Duststar city into a clean slate and just like the system had predicted, it was why Bryon had assigned the mission to Blake.

…

After the arrest of Major Garret whose name was being sung by almost everyone that was arrested, Blake’s mission in Duststar was basically over.

Once he was given permission to return to Calton, Blake wasted no time informing Jerry about their departure.

In 3 days, Blake had returned to Calton and went straight to meet Colonel Darius who congratulated him and informed him about his promotion that would be held a week from then.

“Finally, I get promoted but I don’t know why it doesn’t feel right.” Blake said as he left the office and returned to his house.

He was given a one-week break and didn’t feel like staying around, so he chose to return home and fix a date we Carmilla and Tessie that evening.

…

On that same evening.

“We missed you so much!” Camilla said as she rushed and gave him a tight hug.

She had gotten so used to Blake’s presence at the square that when he was gone, she found it hard to chat with anyone else.

“I wasn’t even gone for 2 weeks…” Blake said causing Camilla to furrow her brows. “Just kidding, I missed you too.” Blake said as he gave her a kiss on the forehead.

“I was worried about you.” Tessie said in a low tone as she hugged Blake.

“I am here now.” Blake enjoyed the warmth of her embrace as he also gave her a kiss on the forehead.

“How was the mission? I heard that you are going to get promoted… That reminds me, thanks for the flowers.” Camilla said.

Camilla and Tessier were surprised when they were contacted by a transport company and informed that Blake had sent them a package, they were shocked to find out that it was an entire caravan filled with unique flowers.

“It was thanks to the gift that I was able to solve the case.” Blake went on to explain how he had solved the case and the results of the investigation.

He didn’t mention his discovery about the beast tide because he didn’t want to put them in danger. As for Brian and Castiel, Blake had no plans of informing them because it was no longer any of their business.
