"Tsk. The information she had could've been useful for us." Brigadier General said, "It's a pity, but dead n tell no tales..."
"Actually, they do talk sotis," Arnold smirked at the brigadier's remarks.
"What crap are you spewing out?" The brigadier questioned Arnold, "I think you require so dical assistance first and foremost, maybe you've hit your head or sothing during the fight."
"You'll see what I'm talking about, soon enough," Arnold said as he opened the door to the interrogation room, "but I think you won't like what's going to happen next..."
It seed like the last comnt Arnold had made got through the Brigadier's mind, as he was barking orders at the privates like a madman.
"Levinsky that man is trying to tamper with the evidence! shoot him! Arrest him before he gets away with it!" The brigadier scread.
One of the two privates imdiately followed the order of his superior and aid his gun at Arnold. It was one of the guns that Arnold had made himself, moreover, he knew exactly who the private was.
"I knew you were a bit suspicious from the mont I saw you outside the workshop. So let guess, you're the brigadier general's pet, and you inford him about the weapons I was making. Similarly, the brigadier general inford about it to his partner in cri, the priestess, who then sent her n to 'infiltrate' the base and get their hands on the weapons. I bet one of you gave the free pass to the frauds himself. Sounds familiar doesn't it?" Arnold narrated the entire story while having an I know it all look on his face.
The others who were present inside the room were strangely looking at their superior, the brigadier tried to remain calm after hearing the allegations.
"I don't know what you're talking about." the Brigadier General replied, "As far as I'm concerned, you're a threat to this facility and its people. Thus I'm ordering you to stand down and surrender yourself before sothing terrible happens."
The private from earlier gulped down his saliva while the brigadier was busy arguing with Arnold.
"Ordering ? Do you think it'll be a good decision to do that? I thought we could be cordial about it all but you didn't leave any choice." Arnold shrugged his shoulders and called out a few of his summons, "and if you're not wrong then why are you so hell-bent on stopping from revealing the truth?"
Asterios, Duke, Talos, Cerberus, and a couple of more summons surrounded Arnold, "Bet you didn't saw this happening, did you? Now stay quiet and let do my thing or... what did you say? Oh, right. Sothing terrible would happen. Talos, do your thing."

SOTI LATER...
IN WEST ARICAN REGION, HEADQUARTERS OF GUARDIAN SYNDICATE¹...
"I actually wanted to et that idiot for once..." Nina sighed and unlocked her phone. She had a picture of a group of people as her lock screen.
She was intently looking at one particular person, it was the sa person who had saved her and her team from a sneak attack from a group of rcenaries, about 7 years ago. It always pained her heart when she rembered the scene where she thought it was all over until he arrived. Even though she couldn't rember his face, she knew exactly who her saviour was. Rembering that person always cald her heart, it was odd, because she never felt like this towards anyone else... it was as if she knew, that person would always save her no matter what.
Her only regret was not being able to tell him how much she was grateful to him and wanted to thank him but sadly she couldn't, as she was still in the hospital when that person left Florida and went to train in Brazil. She thought, she'd thank him once he returned from his training but then... the person went missing inside a dungeon trip. When there were no signs of him even after an entire year, he was declared dead. Her heart was torn apart, how co sotis like him be dead? She just couldn't accept it.
But then, the dungeon break happened and apart from a few people, everyone forgot about him, as they got busy with taking care of the monsters while failing miserably at doing so. The entire country changed after that. The governnt, the society, the world everything changed. Still, she never forgot about him.
And then like a miracle, the person suddenly ca back like a mystery. She wanted to et that man, but as luck would have it, she had to go and clear a dungeon instead. When she returned from the dungeon, she asked the ever-busy Nathan, if the person was actually him?
"It's Arnold alright, but I couldn't bring him with as the syndicate might've tried to bla us for partial treatnt. Although he's a guy who deserves it, still he was understanding and wants to work his way to West Arica." Nathan had replied.
She was ECSTATIC, to hear that her saviour was alive, but then she was understandably upset she won't be able to see him for a while, and that's why she had a bottle of wine in one hand while she was looking at the picture she clicked during their night at Malibu Club around 7 years ago.
"Wow, you're still looking at my brother's photograph?" Nicole said as she helped herself with a little wine and next to Nina.
"What can I say, your brother has a special effect on ." Nina smiled wanly and placed the phone back inside her pocket, "So how was your A rank dungeon trip?"
"h, it was bland. I'd rather be in the eastern region and kill the monsters than stay here and take care of useless monsters...' Nicole waved her hand around as she sipped the wine.
"I'm sure you'd like that!" Nina chuckled.
They were inside Nathan's office, waiting for him to report about their individual responsibilities as they used to do it every evening. That's why they were so casually drinking and talking about random things until Nathan arrived.
"Maybe we should-" Nicole was about to say sothing when the landline phone present in the office ringing and Nina unhesitatingly picked it up.
"You've reached Nathan black's office, how can I help you?"
"Hey, Nathan... wait who's this again? Amanda, I think the number is wrong." A man's voice ca through the other side, "Um... whoever you are, could you hand the phone over to Nathan. I have sothing important to discuss with him."
Nina imdiately knew whose voice it, and rather than doing what was requested by the man instead she scread, "Arnold!?"
