While David was chatting with Myron, he was also controlling the Shadow Servant with a portion of his mind, walking towards the entrance to the passage in a seemingly subconscious manner.

Since the Shadow Servant could only be 10 meters away from him, he had to go even closer to that spot in order to do what he intended.

Amory stood quietly to the side and watched David and Maron speak to each other. As long as the two of them did not go overboard, he would not stop them. Although he was old-fashioned, he knew that their identities gave them a great deal of power.

David stood still while the Shadow Servant entered a doorless control room in the passageway.

David did not have to fumble that much because everything had been left open when Staff Sergeant Harold left.

The Shadow Servant grabbed the control with one hand and adjusted it to show the target object on a display in the middle of the room.

The Shadow Servant quickly entered the coordinates of the location that he had already prepared, after which a long-range sniper cannon on the wall gave out a mechanical sound due to friction and turned its huge barrel towards the city abruptly.

At the same time, an alarm was set off and sounded from the identity bracelet on Staff Sergeant Harold’s wrist while he was in the washroom. The long-range sniper cannon that he had been controlling was taking aim at a safe area.

Staff Sergeant Harold did not even have time to wipe his butt, simply dashing out of the bathroom while holding his pants up and heading for the control room.

Although he was not an armorer, he had 700 kilograms of strength and incredible speed after years of training. However, even if he moved as fast as he could, it would still take him at least five seconds to get into the control room.

The entire structure of Strat Hotel was already revealed, and under the constant manipulation of the Shadow Servant’s hands, the image of Strat Hotel was continuously being zoomed in. The scene was finally fixed at the highest point, the chairman’s office.

However, the windows of the chairman’s office were made of reflective material, thus making it impossible for the long-range sniper cannon to accurately locate Mr. Strat.

A particular program in the security optical computer on the first floor of the Strat Hotel began running automatically, after which the security surveillance scanners in the chairman’s office automatically activated.

Under normal circumstances, the security surveillance scanners would only be activated after Mr. Strat left his office.

However, under the control of the security optical computer, the numerous security surveillance scanners in the office began to work at the same time. With the structure of the hotel’s map, the security optical computer calculated and deduced Mr. Strat’s precise location in the office.

That set of data was transmitted to David’s identity bracelet, and while David was chatting with Maron, he scanned the identity bracelet with his eyes.

Meanwhile, the Shadow Servant quickly adjusted the target of the long-range sniper cannon and then pressed the button to shoot.

At this moment, Staff Sergeant Harold charged into the control room with a furious gaze in his eyes. His anger was due to the way he had been forced to run while holding his pants up, which the two visitors had seen. It was tantamount to disgracing the city defense team.

As for the unusual long-range sniper cannon, it was not much of a concern to Staff Sergeant Amory, as snipers often did the unthinkable. Hence, it was normal for there to be one more.

In the chairman’s office of the Strat Hotel, Mr. Strat was reading some documents. He picked up a glass of water beside him and was about to drink it when he suddenly felt his heart palpitate.

If he was a combat professional, he would have already been able to tell that he was being targeted.

However, although he had powerful business management abilities, he was just an ordinary person. Perhaps he was a little different from other people in terms of Mental Energy. Otherwise, how could he have sensed the heart palpitations?

He looked out the window to see that there was a fire being lit up in the direction of the city wall in the distance.

Standing on an unsteady gait on top of the wall, Staff Sergeant Amory, David, and Maron almost lost their balance because of the sudden loud noise. Staff Sergeant Amory almost instinctively pushed them to the ground to stop them from swaying.

David had felt the recoil from the professional sniper rifles used by the Sniper Armor in his visions. However, the recoil of the long-range sniper cannons used for the city defense was far more powerful than that of the professional sniper rifles.

He had clearly felt the vibrations of the steel wall, and although he had prepared himself for it a long time ago, he had behaved similarly to Maron, not daring to display his emotions. Also, he was indeed frightened.

“Has Staff Sergeant Harold gone mad?!” Staff Sergeant Amory hollered as he pressed his identity bracelet a few times. The alarm then went off.

Just as David and Maron got up from the ground, two armorers clad in white military-style exoskeleton armour appeared on the wall, after which one of them entered the control room and brought Staff Sergeant Harold out.

David looked at Staff Sergeant Harold with guilt in his heart. It seemed that Staff Sergeant Harold had to take the blame for this one.

David, who had checked up on information about the military, knew that the soldiers in white were usually responsible for maintaining the internal order of the military by monitoring illegal and undisciplined behavior. They had the right to arrest and detain soldiers who acted in an unruly manner or broke the law. They were also responsible for maintaining discipline and order on the battlefield during wars.

Battlestar was constantly in a state of war. The two military police armorers had the right to arrest any military personnel, but of course, they had to have corresponding evidence before they could carry out the arrest.

However, Staff Sergeant Harold was also confused as to why the long-range sniper cannon had fired automatically. What he did know was that he was in big trouble, because he had not withdrawn his control access when he left the control room, as per regulation.

Given the situation just now, anyone who entered the control room could just maneuver the long-range sniper cannon to attack.

“It was them; they were the ones who did it. I was in the bathroom just now and they were the only ones here!” Staff Sergeant Harold yelled as his eyes fell upon Staff Sergeant Amory, David and Maron, lighting up at the chance to escape blame.

“Staff Sergeant Amory, who are they? Why are they here?” asked a military police armorer.

“Sir, these two are students who have been arranged to take a tour here by the government. There is an approval of an application submitted to Lieutenant Eden. Please take a look,” Staff Sergeant Amory answered politely as he pulled a file from his identity bracelet and sent it to the military police armorer.

The military police armorer opened the document in his own identity bracelet, examined it carefully, and then made use of his authority to inquire about the procedures.

“Nothing is wrong with their identities,” the military police armorer said with a nod. He did not bother to ask if the three of them had entered the control room as there were surveillance systems all over the place. The two military police armorers were able to get there immediately partly because of Staff Sergeant Amory’s alarm, but also because of the surveillance system.

“Military police armorers, they were the only ones present when I left. It must be them!” Staff Sergeant Harold insisted, trying to struggle for the last time.

When David heard Staff Sergeant Harold insist that it was them, he felt much less guilty than before, even though it was true.

Originally, he had been intending to use some of his connections to help reduce the punishment that Sergeant Harold would be receiving, since it was his own fault for implicating him.

However, David had now changed his mind.

Perhaps, the accident could help the city defense team strengthen the military, starting with discipline. Sergeant Harold was indeed at fault for being lazy, sluggish, and haphazard. Even if nothing had happened today, it would only be a matter of time before something did.

The two military police armorers ignored Staff Sergeant Harold’s yelling and instead took out a pair of handcuffs. They cuffed Staff Sergeant Harold’s hands and took him away from the city walls.

“Gentlemen, please keep today’s incident to yourself. It was just an accident!” Sergeant Amory pleaded with David and Maron, feeling rather embarrassed.

“No problem, we didn’t see anything!” Maron answered immediately.

It was best for him to stay away from the matters regarding the military as much as possible, especially since he had a lot of doubts about many matters.

“Thank you! That’s the end of the tour for today, I’ll see you off!” Staff Sergeant Amory said, gesturing for them to leave.

The two of them knew they couldn’t continue to stay on the wall after something like that had happened, so they followed Staff Sergeant Amory to the elevator they had come from.

In fact, Staff Sergeant Amory’s attempt to prevent that accident from being spread around was definitely going to fall through, as the implications of that incident were far from that of an ordinary mistake.

During this inexplicable attack, the owner of the Strat Hotel, Mr. Strat, was struck by a massive Class 1 bullet fired from a long-range sniper cannon, which caused his body to shatter into pieces on the spot.

There was nothing left of his corpse.
