"I am not allowed to reveal anything till you three accept a request first," Aildris responded.
"What request?" Officer Colt questioned.
"First off you three must write a grant stating, you will not file Officer Crimson and any of his teammates for insubordination.
Second, you three will also have to add that the team will not be taken off the operation. If you do these, I will reveal the information," Aildris stated.
"What nonsense! You all should be taken of the operation Im..." Officer Colt was interrupted by Officer Darmark.
"Hold on... we have to think clearly before we decide. If this information is truly one that proves the operation can be ruined and our spies have not uncovered it... this would mean we as commanders lead a failed operation," Officer Darmark stated.
"...I agree with Officer Darmark. We have to think clearly before we decide. We haven't uncovered such information from our end," Officer Shuri poiinted out.
"They have nothing to offer. I will never be intimidated by such into agreeing with the demands," Officer Colt voiced out.
"Might I remind you three that this is Officer Crimson. His reputation precedes him. Never has he given out false information so I implore you commanders to choose wisely," Aildris words hit all three of them.
Even Officer Colt who was so against Gustav had to rethink. Gustav had successfully accomplished great things after all. Would it be wise to choose not to believe him now?
'It will be in our record if this operation fails,' This thought were on the minds of all three commanders.
'I should find a way to get him to spill without agreeing... the recording device,' Officer Colt thought and stared at the device in Aildris grasp.
'I just need to get that,' Upon gathering his thoughts, he activated his bloodline energy.
Zhiiinnn~
Aildris noticed the device had disappeared from his grasp in the next instant and was in the hands of Officer Colt.
"Now your services are no longer needed," Officer Colt chuckled with a look of victory.
He tapped on the device and what played next had made their eyes nearly pop out of the sockets.
-"Phrrruuuhhhmmm!"
-"Kreeeehhhhvvv!"
-"Pullummpullummpulllumm!"
"Are those...?" Officer Colt couldn't even complete his sentence.
"Yes they are what you think they are," Aildris responded with an unbothered smile.
They all looked like they wanted to puke at the momemt because the device was playing a gut retching toilet audio.
Whoever was in the audio seemed to having a war in the bathroom as the loud sounds of farts and droppings into the water closet encapsulated the entire command room.
"Turn that off!" Officer Darmark yelled.
Officer Colt had some difficulty operating it but after a few, he managed to turn it off.
"What was that officer Aildris? How could you have such in your possession?" Officer Colt face showed disgust as he voiced out.
"What I have in my possession is nobody's business. Commander should refrain from forcefully obtaining others personal items next time," Aildris remained calm and collected as he replied.
Officer Colt had a look of humiliation and couldn't find anything to say.
"Lest I forget, the information is not recorded so if all three commanders agree to the request, I will be revealing it verbally," Aildris added.
'Damn it I got fooled,' Officer Colt thought.
He felt immensely embarrassed due to the action he performed and Aildris revelation.
Aildris seemed to have suspected something like this might happen so he only recorded the part of Gustav's introduction during his revelation of the situation.
He made a good call since it would be totally impossible to force the commanders to accept their demands if they lost the information first.
The commanders couldn't force Aildris to speak up unless he wanted to.
"Commanders, I urge you again to think carefully before making your decision. If you truly want the operation to become a success, its best to accept our requests," Aildris voiced after a brief momemt of silence.
The commanders stared at each other for some time, giving out secret gestures before moving to a part of the command tent.
Aildris waited for some time as they discussed.
-"Did any of the spies reveal information about a potential plot that could ruin our operation?"
-"None whatsoever,"
-"The only things they managed to uncover were a few more hidden hideouts,"
-"Bunch of useless..."
Aildris could hear a bit of their chats but he remained in place with a calm composure. Aildris was always super calm and never quick to getting triggered.
It was safe to say he had the coolest head amongst all other teammates. Even more than Gustav.
"Officer Aildris,"
After some time the commanders called out to him.
"We'll accept your request," Officer Darmark stated.
Officer Colt still had a bitter look but they didn't have much of a choice. They needed to know if this would lead to the failure of the operation after all.
"Good choice commanders. I shall await the written grants first before revealing anything," Aildris responded with a smile.

-"24 Billion energy crystals! Do I hear 25?"
-"40 Billion energy crystals! Do I hear 41?"
-"70 Billion energy crystals! Do I hear 71?"
-120 Billion energy crystals! Do I hear 125?"
pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ The auction went on in full charge with these unknown moguls, bidding at crazy prices.
Sir Gill was shocked at their immense wealth. Just a billion energy crystals was worth more than twice hid entire fortune.
He already considered himself to be earning quite the fortune but he was nothing close to this when it came to wealth.
'I need to uncover the identities of everyone sitting here. They may not have the same motive as the Genxodus but they are definitely dealing in shady businesses as well,' Sir Gigahard thought.
"Miss Excon, the higher ups have labelled this a big priority so you're free to use as much wealth as required to acquire the machine," A Genxodus member announced from the side.
Miss Excon displayed a serious look before yelling out a price, "200 Billion energy crystals!"
Gasp~
The entire place turned quiet for a bit as everyone turned to stare in the direction of the Genxodus members.
They had just raised the bid by over sixty billion crystals more which was no small thing.
At this point some of the moguls were already contemplating dropping out.
If it had gotten to this point this fast, there was no doubt the price was bound to increase way more later.
Some of them considered if it might be worth it despite this piece being one of the rarest items across galaxies.
-"201 Billion energy crystals,"
-"205 Billion energy crystals,"
The bid continued and the value kept rising.
Kazeem grinned from ear to ear with the continuous increase in price of the item.
It turned out a few other moguls were not interested in giving this up. It wasn't necessarily because of the worth and rarity at this point, they just wanted to make sure the Genxodus didn't get it.
There was fear of the Genxodus even amongst shady underground businessmen. After all, most of them were mixedbloods.
If the Genxodus aimed to get rid of all mixedbloods, they would be affected as well. It was not a matter of good or bad. They just wanted to be safe.
The auction kept getting heated by the momemt despite many moguls already dropping out.
After another twenty minutes, only three were left bidding.
The first was the man who had openly expressed his disgust for the Genxodus, the second was the lady who stated her dissatisfaction as well and the third was none other than the Genxodus.
"What do we do miss? They don't seem to be backing down?" One of the Genxodus members questioned.
-"700 Billion energy crystals! Do I hear 710?"
It was already at a crazy amount.
"It's time to stop," Miss Excon voiced out.
"But we will lose the machine," The Genxodus member said with a look of worry.
"The higher ups will be disappointed if we spend this much fund despite how much we need the machine. We will have to find another way," Miss Excon stated.
The words coming out of her lips were the exact words Sir Gigahard had whispered in her ears. They seemed to be hatching a plan.
"We will acquire it no matter what but not this way," Sir Gigahard voiced out.
-"Going for 700 Billion energy crystals,"
-"Going once,"
"Going twice,"
"Sold!"
Kazeem's loud voice reverberated across the entire vicinity causing everyone to begin clapping.
The large man who had managed to get it, stood to his feet and bowed lightly with a smiley face. Then he turned to the Genxodus and a loud "Hmph" escaped his lips.
The entire place had become loud after everyone saw the Genxodus lose.
The auction came to an end at this point and everyone rose to their feet.
"Let's go," Sir Gigahard said to Miss Excon and they began heading towards the man who had won the bid.
