I Am No King's

Chapter 165 – Collateral Damage

~Jin's POV~

[His Majesty the King, everything is going according to plan. Now, the Alhold family is fighting Lugalgin.]

[Good. Very nice.]

I listened to a phone call from one of the schneider agents with His Majesty the King. They didn't talk to me, but I tapped into His Majesty the King's phone.

That afternoon, Lugalgin contacted and requested that I monitor all the movements of Akadia, Agade, royal intelligence, and His Majesty the King. I don't accept this job as Guan, but as Jin. Before becoming the leader of Guan, I was both an informant and a mercenary. So, things like this are normal for me. Of the six pillars, perhaps, the leader who could do this without relying on his men was only me and Lugalgin.

Right now, I'm sure, my movements and Guan are also being watched by the alliance under Lugalgin. I'll bet Lugalgin had all the members under him to keep an eye on each other. In fact, he himself did not fully believe in Agade, the organization he led himself.

Lugalgin created the system not based on trust, but rather on supervision. With every organization watching each other, no one would dare to mess around. If there is anything, other organizations will report it.

The system of mutual supervision is quite perfect if the organizations involved do not get along with each other. However, if it gets along, then the organizations involved can conspire to give false information to Lugalgin.

This indicates that Lugalgin is really hard to believe in others. Right now, I feel like he trusts me. However, I don't know if he really believes me or doesn't consider me a threat. And, unfortunately, events like this will increasingly make it difficult for Lugalgin to trust others. However, in the black market world, Lugalgin's choice is a rational one.

While listening to the conversation of this agent and His Majesty the King, I contacted someone else, a black market informant, my subscription. I didn't call, but I sent a message. Of course, this message is a code. So, even if anyone or the government reads this message, they won't know what I mean.

When I received the job from Lugalgin, I did not think that I would get results this fast. And, maybe not just me, but Agade and Akadia will also report these findings to Lugalgin.

~Lugalgin's POV~

[Gin! We have a problem! Please come home soon!]

Still not done with tonight's problem? Does the Alhold family want to go extinct? If they continue to send attacks like this, we can eradicate all family members.

"I'll be home right now."

I got on the bike and came back. Unlike the previous one where I had to maneuver to avoid flying bullets, now I can go normally.

I finally got home. After returning the motorcycle in the garage, I went to the main room with the arsenal crate still attached to the back.

In the main room, I did not see Ninlil, Emir, and Suen, there were only Nanna and Inanna. Inanna held onto Nanna's shoulder which stuck the smartphone in her ear.

I got a bad feeling.

"What's wrong?"

"Sir...anu,"

Nanna can't answer me. His words were not neatly arranged.

"The situation," Inanna interrupted. "Nanna could not reach her father, mother, and brother. The same thing happened with Suen. Now, the Emir and Ninlil are trying to catch up to Suen who flew home."

I went to Inanna and took her phone and whispered, "don't let Nanna hear my communication with Agade."

Without asking much, Inanna nodded and disconnected the phone. He understood that my communication might be bad news for Suen.

I went to the second floor, making sure my voice wasn't heard when I spoke.

"Agade, is there any information regarding the Nanna and Suen families?"

[Actually, we had this information since then, but we didn't dare to talk about it over the phone because Nanna and Suen were listening.]

Although the one who answered was Elam, I'm sure all the members thought the same thing. And, since they didn't want to say it when Inanna was still calling, then, that means, there's only one possibility.

"Let me guess, the Nanna and Suen families are dead?"

I sat on the bed and stroked my forehead. What orders did I give Shu En too late?

"Mir,"

[Yes, Gin?]

"Right now, you are an elite member of the rank 2 Agade, after Mulisu, as well as a member of the Kingdom's intelligence. I you want to go and protect Suen's sister, Iris. Don't protect it from shadows, just be blatant. Go to the school and use the name intelligence."

[Good! I'm leaving!]

The first commandment is given. The short man must have moved.

Now, second commandment.

"Elam,"

[Yes?]

"I want you to go after Suen. I gave you the task of protecting Suen.]

[Ready!]

Actually, I doubt Elam is fit for the guard duty. In general, her appearance is so striking. Body swollen by muscle with hair cut flap. Not ordinary, but exhausted. On the right and left side of her head there was no hair.

[Additional, Elam, find a wig and change your appearance. You're too flashy.]

[Aah? Uh, fine.]

Elam gives a dashed response. On the other hand, I heard some laughter from the other members.

I took another smartphone and called my mom. On the phone, I explained to my mother what had happened. Mom already knew about Alhold's attack, but she didn't expect that the Nanna and Suen families would be attacked. Thus, I asked mom to send one person to look after Nanna.

I don't blame mom. I didn't expect it myself. Even though we are in contact with the black market, the Nanna and Suen families will never be dragged unless they already have a connection to the black market before. However, the Alhold family and intelligence were different. They drag out anyone who is.

I don't have to worry about Arde because he's in Akadia, well even at the bottom. Illuvia was also under the supervision of Ibla. And Maila, well, I doubt anyone would mess with her.
