A few minutes later, Takeo arrives back in the room with everyone else. The presence of Nero and Kosaka disappear. Kouta brings up the matter of the Onyx situation and asks what had happened in the other room. Takeo explained he had been receiving supplies of food and building materials since their land was almost decimated from the invasion a couple weeks ago. He showed them the storage room where he had been receiving them. Everyone else took a good inspection to find any clues if he was lying or not. After 10 minutes, the group decided that Takeo was innocent for now. The real question that everyone wanted to know was why. Why the Onyx?
They promised me food and other supplies for a bit of information. Believe it or not, Brunswick is the stronghold for most of Grails technological advances. The other kingdoms in the realm buy blueprints and products that we have here. - Takeo
I haven't done much research on this since I'm in Baofullea most of the time, but I believe him. - Rin
Actually there's some proof of that, I read in the Tennex royal library that Brunswick was the first kingdom that implanted the ideas of the defense walls. - Enma
If that's true, then what exactly did the Onyx want? - Kouta
They wanted information about the legendary orbs. - Takeo
And you just gave it out? - Ryuuto
Not exactly, I'm not that dumb. To be honest, my mind opened a bit when Kouta and I met again. I'm not that hot blooded anymore. I just told them where they were held. - Takeo
So you were the one behind the invasion?! - Rin
No, that's not true. I've been doing my own research on the movement of the Kaid. To my discovery, they've been doing this to Grail hundreds of years ago. And Takeo had been reincarnated not too long ago....right? - Ryuuto
Takeo darts his eyes to the side and agrees with Ryuuto in silence.
So, if Takeo is innocent, then what do we do about them? - Rin
The Onyx are an organized crime group and they're so called notorious. We should get more information about these guys if we want a chance against them. - Kouta
The fact that they only sent one member, not to mention he wasn't even their leader, just a lowly grunt following orders too. It means they're confident about their strength. - Ryuuto
Guys....we're obviously not as strong as them. After all, we just got reincarnated back after so long. The world has changed. There is different magic and technology that we still aren't used to yet. - Rin
The people also don't know of our return, I don't know how they view us. - Kouta
Oh......they hate us..... - Ryuuto
Why? I thought I brought peace. - Kouta
Sir, with all due respect, you only became a martyr. You brought peace for like what.....a couple years. After your death, Orions were still hated. The Onyx aren't just your regular organized crime group. They replaced you like a mafia. Offering protection while threatening people. - Anden
You came from Seji's Kingdom right? - Kouta
Anden stands up straight and salutes to him.
I served in the R.C military for 8 years before I got transferred to learn magic in Tennex, sir. - Anden
What rank were you? - Kouta
Heh, I didn't receive any rankings, I was a lowly grunt soldier who was dispatched to learn magic. - Anden
Where did you learn all that info? - Rin
Republic City not only trained the body, but the mind as well. We were all forced to learn the history of the land and its previous wars. You guys are mentioned a couple times throughout history. - Anden
