-Not Fixed
He felt immensely embarrassed due to the action he performed and Aildris revelation.
Aildris seemed to have suspected something like this might happen so he only recorded the part of Gustav’s introduction during his revelation of the situation.
He made a good call since it would be totally impossible to force the commanders to accept their demands if they lost the information first.
The commanders couldn’t force Aildris to speak up unless he wanted to.
“Commanders, I urge you again to think carefully before making your decision. If you truly want the operation to become a success, its best to accept our requests,” Aildris voiced after a brief momemt of silence.
The commanders stared at each other for some time, giving out secret gestures before moving to a part of the command tent.
Aildris waited for some time as they discussed.
-“Did any of the spies reveal information about a potential plot that could ruin our operation?”
-“None whatsoever,”
-“The only things they managed to uncover were a few more hidden hideouts,”
-“Bunch of useless…”
Aildris could hear a bit of their chats but he remained in place with a calm composure. Aildris was always super calm and never quick to getting triggered.
It was safe to say he had the coolest head amongst all other teammates. Even more than Gustav.
“Officer Aildris,”
After some time the commanders called out to him.
“We’ll accept your request,” Officer Darmark stated.
Officer Colt still had a bitter look but they didn’t have much of a choice. They needed to know if this would lead to the failure of the operation after all.
“Good choice commanders. I shall await the written grants first before revealing anything,” Aildris responded with a smile.

-“24 Billion energy crystals! Do I hear 25?”
-“40 Billion energy crystals! Do I hear 41?”
-“70 Billion energy crystals! Do I hear 71?”
-120 Billion energy crystals! Do I hear 125?”
The auction went on in full charge with these unknown moguls, bidding at crazy prices.
Sir Gill was shocked at their immense wealth. Just a billion energy crystals was worth more than twice hid entire fortune.
He already considered himself to be earning quite the fortune but he was nothing close to this when it came to wealth.
‘I need to uncover the identities of everyone sitting here. They may not have the same motive as the Genxodus but they are definitely dealing in shady businesses as well,’ Sir Gigahard thought.
“Miss Excon, the higher ups have labelled this a big priority so you’re free to use as much wealth as required to acquire the machine,” A Genxodus member announced from the side.
Miss Excon displayed a serious look before yelling out a price, “200 Billion energy crystals!”
Gasp~
The entire place turned quiet for a bit as everyone turned to stare in the direction of the Genxodus members.
They had just raised the bid by over sixty billion crystals more which was no small thing.
At this point some of the moguls were already contemplating dropping out.
If it had gotten to this point this fast, there was no doubt the price was bound to increase way more later.
Some of them considered if it might be worth it despite this piece being one of the rarest items across galaxies.
-“201 Billion energy crystals,”
-“205 Billion energy crystals,”
The bid continued and the value kept rising.
Kazeem grinned from ear to ear with the continuous increase in price of the item.
It turned out a few other moguls were notinterested in giving this up. It wasn’t necessarily because of the worth and rarity at this point, they just wanted to make sure the Genxodus didn’t get it.
There was fear of the Genxodus even amongst shady underground businessmen. After all, most of them were mixedbloods.
If the Genxodus aimed to get rid of all mixedbloods, they would be affected as well. It was not a matter of good or bad. They just wanted to be safe.
The auction kept getting heated by the momemt despite many moguls already dropping out.
After another twenty minutes, only three were left bidding.
The first was the man who had openly expressed his disgust for the Genxodus, the second was the lady who stated her dissatisfaction as well and the third was none other than the Genxodus.
“What do we do miss? They don’t seem to be backing down?” One of the Genxodus members questioned.
-“700 Billion energy crystals! Do I hear 710?”
It was already at a crazy amount.
“It’s time to stop,” Miss Excon voiced out.
“But we will lose the machine,” The Genxodus member said with a look of worry.
“The higher ups will be disappointed if we spend this much fund despite how much we need the machine. We will have to find another way,” Miss Excon stated.
The words coming out of her lips were the exact words Sir Gigahard had whispered in her ears. They seemed to be hatching a plan.
“We will acquire it no matter what but not this way,” Sir Gigahard voiced out.
-“Going for 700 Billion energy crystals,”
-“Going once,”
“Going twice,”
“Sold!”
Kazeem’s loud voice reverberated across the entire vicinity causing everyone to begin clapping.
The large man who had managed to get it, stood to his feet and bowed lightly with a smiley face. Then he turned to the Genxodus and a loud “Hmph” escaped his lips.
The entire place had become loud after everyone saw the Genxodus lose.
The auction came to an end at this point and everyone rose to their feet.
“Let’s go,” Sir Gigahard said to Miss Excon and they began heading towards the man who had won the bid.

(“Exactly dumbass I am…”) The system responded with a ridiculing tone.
“Well… that’s encouraging,” Gustav muttered.
(“Now that you’ve completed the device, our plans after IYSOP can be moved forward,”) The system voiced internally.
“Moved forward? I have a terrorist organisation to deal with in the coming week, a competition to win for earth apparently and a situation to take care of for one of my friends before those after IYSOP plans can be put into motion,” Gustav listed out.
(“The device is to direct you towards areas of lingering warp demolator energies, right?”) The system inquired.
“Yes?” Gustav answered.
“Well… that’s encouraging,” Gustav muttered.

“Moved forward? I have a terrorist organisation to deal with in the coming week, a competition to win for earth apparently and a situation to take care of for one of my friends before those after IYSOP plans can be put into motion,” Gustav listed out.
(“The device is to direct you towards areas of lingering warp demolator energies, right?”) The system inquired.
“Yes?” Gustav answered.
(“Does it work instantly? Can we say for sure that upon activation in space like you planned, it would immediately lead you in the direction of these energies?”) The system questioned.
“I can’t say for sure till its activated… and you know there are only specific points in space where it can be activated so I hope you’re not suggesting I try it out immediately,” Gustav muttered while his eyes turned into slits.
(“Exactly dumbass I am…”) The system responded with a ridiculing tone.
“No… Where do you suppose I get the time to visit space, use the device and who knows wait for it to give me the coordinates…” Gustav shook his head while responding.
(“Even with all those intelligence point you’re not so bright eh?”)
Gustav; “…” ‘Can’t you make a damn clarification without spewing insults?’
(“You just need to get the device to one of the specific points you mentioned, activate it and leave it in place with a layer of protection till you’re ready to start searching the locations. By the time IYSOP is done and over with, you’ll be able to start looking for traces of the warp demolator energy instantly instead of getting unnecessarily delayed,”) The system analysed.
“Well… that’s encouraging,” Gustav muttered.
