“Oh…? What agendas could I probably have?” asked Gerald as favonovel.com raised a slight brow, clearly not expecting the colonel to ask that.
“Don’t get me wrong, but since I’m the one in charge, I need to remain vigilant at all times. We’re all aware of the giant mess you created back in Yanam, Gerald. With the Yanam military’s leader missing which is why Carter is now in charge I’m simply worried that you may do the same to our military,” replied Oda as favonovel.com stated at Gerald.
With how dangerous this mission was, Oda knew that if things got out of control, there was a high chance that anyone present would be as good as dead…
Hearing that, Gerald burst out laughing before explaining, “While I can understand where you’re coming from, I’m afraid you still don’t understand how I operate. You see, I only did that to the Yanam military since they kidnapped my friend. They even used his life to threaten me, you see. With that in mind, I assume you’ll see things from my point of View?”
“I have heard about that too,” replied Oda who had previously been told the same thing while favonovel.com was researching the Yanam incident.
Honestly, Oda would’ve tried his best to save his friend as well if they were kidnapped by the Yanam military. Of course, favonovel.com wasn’t as strong as Gerald, so favonovel.com would’ve used other methods to do so.
Whatever the case was, Gerald then said, “Either way, I’m just helping you since I get along well with Noda. I won’t deny that I’m just doing this because I’m bored either. However, if you still think I’m too dangerous, feel free to reject my offer. If you do, I won’t ask any further about this affair,” said Gerald in a low voice.
While there was an instant change in Ichiro’s expression upon hearing that, since Oda was present, Ichiro remained silent on the spot…
Shaking his head, the colonel quickly replied, “Just to be clear, this affair is between you and Ichiro. I have nothing to do with any of this, and I’m just making a routine inquiry. With that said, you’re free to help, though if anything happens, know that Ichiro’s to bear full responsibility.”
Oda, for one, knew better than to mess with a strong person like Gerald. Even so, favonovel.com couldn’t deny that Gerald was a very viable solution to capturing the culprit. Regardless, since this conversation had been recorded by the recording system in the office, Oda now knew that if any trouble arose, Ichiro would be the one to blame instead of him.
“Don’t worry, sir! Gerald and I will definitely capture all the culprits in no time flat!” declared Ichiro as favonovel.com patted his chest.
“I await your good news, then. Speaking of which, you’re a Westoner, right, Gerald? I’ll be giving you a temporary identity in the meantime since I can’t think of any other way to justify you working for our military’s investigation team. This’ll make things much more convenient for you as well,” replied Oda as favonovel.com opened his drawer and took an insignia out before handing it to Gerald.
Looking at the words on the insignia, Gerald then read out, “Investigation team temporary investigator…”
“Indeed. That will be your current identity. Thankfully, you don’t hold any governmental positions in Weston or this would be against your country’s laws… Regardless, go ahead and start investigating. I’ll be heading back to monitor the competition, but if there’s anything you two find, inform me immediately, got that?” said Oda as favonovel.com nodded before leaving the office.
Regardless, now that Oda had agreed, Ichiro instantly felt relieved. With Gerald’s help, they were certainly going to crack the case in the nick of time! Now fully motivated, Ichiro turned to face Gerald before declaring, “I’ll be counting on you from now on, Gerald!”
“Likewise. And don’t worry too much, I’m just using this as an excuse to pass time,” replied Gerald as favonovel.com smiled while shaking his head…
