Number One Dungeon Supplier

"The barrier around Daimon City is awfully thick so I casually asked Denise what\'s the deal with it. And apparently, it is not just to flaunt their technological prowess even though it was partially that reason as well. There were several Dungeons around the area and they had always been some leakage of monsters that emerge out of their den. 

"That\'s rather normal. Also, the reason why we did not see many dungeons in the north is because they do not have anything there. Most of the dungeon activities are concentrated in the centre for a reason." Yinn replied not knowing that Jin roughly understood where she was coming from. The Virtual Simulation that the AI Administration had created, might have purposely crowded the centre with dungeons so that there will always be constant activities.

It was a rather unique design as well if one thinks about it. If all the dungeons had been concentrated at the centre of a certain territory,  the monster outbreak can go in any direction hitting, north, south, east, or west.  And most of the supposed towns should be placed at the outer rims of these dungeon territories encircling them so that they could be hit back from all sides. It was only through decades of hard work that they had finally inserted themselves thick into these territories, thinking they can live dangerously around the edges while also at a convenient location.

Or that was what Jin had assumed when it was far from the truth. 

What the AI administration did was place those dungeons far away from any civilised places. But because they found out how lucrative dungeons could be considering the resources they gave were almost inexplicably invaluable for their development, that everyone fought for it.

And the Empire fought the hardest. 

It was years of fighting against each and every country available that the Imperial Family and the rest of their retainers had fought to get these few plots of land, centring them while ensuring that there were little to no dungeon entrances at the edges of their land so that the countries neighbouring the Empire would not be tempted to get them. It also provided a land buffer in case situations go south and the Empire have some time to react especially when their lands were huge and vast. That was also one of the reasons why Edmond Diamondz was so inclined to get Mount Sunn not because of the workshop or Old Flammet\'s consistent interference with his business. 

That one guy\'s customised stuff was nothing compared to the amount of things that Edmond and his company had created. While it would no doubt be the best thing ever for Old Flammet to join his company, the main objective was solely for the dungeon entrance. The logic behind it was that if no one could get Old Flammet, then they could not get the dungeon too.  But now that someone had contacted Old Flammet, Edmond was paranoid to see that Old Flammet was being active and that means the possibility of him allowing them to get into the dungeon. 

Also being the smallest of the largest manufacturers in Mechanoid Technology, there was more than sufficient reason to see why Edmond was so obsessed with getting the variant dungeon. And now that the truth was out that Diamondz was doing illegal works under the radar, the other manufacturers are fuming and demanded a thorough audit.

The only thing that was stopping them from interfering was the Dyke\'s Pikes. They all assumed that the Archduke was equally furious that it happened under his watch and they were elated that the investigation happened. Others who knew Jin\'s interference believed that the Archduke had already known about Diamondz involvement with illegal work of creating creatures from Mechanoids and also breaking the laws of simulation. 

But guise under the investigation team, Denise was still working as usual to recover as well as starting to ramp up production because of Archduke Dyke\'s request. In the meantime, the Archduke\'s investigation team still handle the investigation work to not just search for criminating evidence but to uncover any possible research that could be useful for the advancement of technology which the Archduke\'s engineers could utilise.

"The monsters are not the primary concern of mine. Rather, it\'s the signs of the monster outbreak that I am worried about." 

"Ah. Because of the presence of a city now unguarded that emits the major sense of food resource which will cause the Dungeons to resonate and enable monsters  to come out?" Yinn questioned, genuinely believing that Jin knew what was going to happen and was about to praise him until she found him dumbfounded for a moment. 

"I did not know that there is such a mechanism placed under this world due to that..."

"Then what are you thinking about?" 

"The assistant could not have run away blindly without doing something to cover his back. It would be stupid far too stupid to have nothing to deter his pursuers. My hunch is that he might trigger an outbreak which could be used to deter the security forces or people from finding him. I honestly have no idea that there is such a mechanism as you had spoken." 

"Well, that makes some sense as well. However, I think it will be a tad too late for that." Yinn said as she requested Jin to look at the beeping notification from the System. Diaz and Click had caught up with an investigation team member. 

"The assistant had been apprehended. Looks like we overreacted for this one, compared to the previous one which we underprepared." Click said in it such a sarcastic way, Jin knew that she was directing it at him.

"That\'s great news -Wait, is he dead?" Jin could not see it clearly until Click moved aside and saw telltale signs of an unfortunate omen."

"Yeap, mawed by a monster it seems. The investigation team do not know which monster did it but if a monster had done it this close to the city then..." Before Click could finish her sentence, her mechanical beast scout start to growl loudly.

"Send the alert to Diamondz Headquarters immediately!" Diaz exclaimed as the communication was abruptly cut off.
