The Mech Touch

Ves experienced a lot of different emotions now that he was about to depart from Bortele III.

His stay was too short. He did not spend any time on exploring any of the cities that had been erected as of late in order to service tl forces that made use of the strategic hub.

However, time was short, and he could no longer treat his security as casual as before.

"Goodbye, Bortele."

"Meow..." Lucky echoed as he rested in Ves' arms.

The gem cat had partially recovered from his most recent heavy exertion. The cat still looked drained and damaged, but he at least r to be up and about again.

A few moments later, Alexa and the 25 Journeymen Mech Designers that had recently joined the clan also arrived.

Ves nodded at a couple of them, but otherwise maintained a certain degree of distance to the new recruits.

He was way too busy to get to know each of these new mech designers in person. He understood a lot better now why leaders alwayi themselves in their ivory towers. They just couldn't be bothered to familiarize themselves with all of their subordinates.

It became even more important to institute a more sophisticated hierarchy in the Design Department. So far, Alexa was performing supervisor with admirable competence.

She may be an Apprentice Mech Designer who had yet to formally establish her design philosophy, but her impeccable training, her and her close relationship with Ves caused all of the other proud and accomplished second-raters to bow their heads in her presenci Ves felt awfully tempted to put her in charge of managing the Design Department, but that was a waste of her talents.

She was a mech designer first and foremost! More importantly, she had reached a stage in her career where she needed to invest as possible in her core work in order to stoke her passion and form the initial seed of her design philosophy. He did not want her to sul delays because of unnecessary entanglements.

"Is everyone ready to depart?"

"Yes, sir." Alexa reported like a prim and proper junior assistant. "I have made it clear to all of them that they will be journeying wi Constantinople VIII shortly after they have been brought into the clan. They have packed all of the luggage that they intend to bring downstairs. They have also sold or entrusted all of the assets that they cannot bring along to the local branch of our clan."

"Good. It is unlikely that we will return here. The focus of our clan will shift increasingly more to our Premier Branch and our first-still remain involved in the world of second-raters, but it is my hope that every lead designer in the Design Department will earn en to undergo EdNet training and promote to a first-class mech designer in time."

"Clever. I feel a lot more reassured now that you guys are being serious about uprooting all of the human traitors that have infiltrab sickens me to think that there are so many high-placed humans in our society that are capable of abusing their positions to advanci subversive organization."

The Indigo Cell already attempted to claim the very lucrative bounty on his head. Even if the Red Association managed to sweep it ai other secretive cells across human space that would definitely escape the looming purge!

So long as these cosmopolitans kept their heads down, they would be able to escape the wave of persecutions that were undoubtedly The rewards announced by the Red Cabal ensured that the cosmopolitans would continue to think about claiming Ves' head!

However, the successful capture of high-ranking cosmopolitans and the rooting out of many cells should degrade the ability for the about in human space.

Once many of their fellow cosmopolitans got exposed and caught, the remainder who managed to escape the witch hunt should defi point where they buried themselves deeply for a time!

This should give Ves at least a few years of buffer time.

"So are there any notable figures among the people who are now suspected of believing in the ideals of the Cosmopolitan Movement "I am not privy to that information." Jovy replied. "I am a mech designer. I am not a member of one of our intelligence department! other channels to gain a rough understanding of what may happen. The stability of red humanity is still fragile, so a mass wave of a we need. We have to employ a quiet strategy to slowly remove and interrogate the suspected traitors without tipping off the other c< This sounded like an extremely difficult operation. The rewards were great, but the mechers had to do everything right in order to ii Cosmopolitan Movement.

It was too bad that Ves clearly did not have the right to obtain insider information about this big operation.

He already imagined the possibilities. The most exciting way for the mechers to deal a serious blow to the Cosmopolitan Movement suspected traitors with body doubles!

Tearing down the dangerous cells from the inside sounded so delightful to Ves!

"If you can't tell me about any specific plans relating to the cosmopolitans, can you at least share more general information about t their sight set on my head, after all. It is really annoying that I know almost nothing about them. It doesn't help that you guys alwa any information about the Cosmopolitan Movement."

"There are good reasons for that, Ves. I do agree with you that you deserve to know more about them. What do you want to know in "How big is the movement?"

"No one can provide you with an accurate answer to this question." Jovy shook his head. "The decentralized structure adopted by tJ it impossible to obtain a complete headcount. We have always made estimates in the past. The interrogation of Master Quan has rec revise our estimates upwards. We currently believe that there are 5 to 10 million people in the Red Ocean who hold cosmopolitan syi "What?! That much?!"

10 million was only a tiny fraction of the total population of red humanity, but it still represented a formidable group if they all join "It is not as exaggerated as you think. Not all of them are of great significance to the movement, Ves. Many of them are relatives of different cells. The truly dangerous cosmopolitans are the core members. They do not confine their activities to remaining undercox valuable information. There should be roughly hundreds of thousands of cadre who are truly willing and able to commit sabotage, a other risky actions."

Ves grimaced. He did not look forward to living in a society with hundreds of thousands of fanatics who were crazy enough to target "What about their spread?" He asked. "I'm sure that they have managed to infiltrate every state, but what about the Red Two? Have whether there are hidden cosmopolitans among the Red Association and the Red Fleet?"

"I cannot say anything about the Red Fleet. As for the Association... there are most certainly people with cosmopolitan sympathies e Jovy sounded almost defeated when he made this admission.

Ves did not blame the mechers. No organization was perfect. The cosmopolitans excelled at infiltration. They definitely prioritized t hidden agents in the most powerful organizations of humanity.

A part of Ves wanted to ask whether the Xenotechnician was among the group of suspects, but he did not dare to follow through wit It was too dangerous for him to question the loyalties of a Star Designer!Please visit fr𝐞𝐞w𝒏.𝒸𝑜𝔪 website to read fastest update
