Chapter 60: Who pays?

Location Restaurant in the Forward Village

POV: Kyle's

''The Quality of the Cheese fondue is excellent'' Rommel remarked, ''Ah yes, we were able to purchase the best quality cheese after we received funding from the Blatten plan that Marshall has so generously started.'' The waiter who was pouring wine said with admiration in his eyes, he didn't know that the man opposite of Rommel was the Marshall, as he still has his sunglasses on to hide the burn mark.

I just silently enjoyed the meal until 'Beep' the portable radio sounded, I sighed, 'My workloads are only increasing' I thought dejectedly. ''Sorry Rommel but it seems we have to leave now.'' I said to Rommel, ''Understood!'' Rommel replied and stood up, ''That would be 120 Francs Sirs'' The waiter said, Rommel had a complicated look on his face before whispering, ''Normally I would like to pay, but I forgot my wallet.'' ''I'll pay.'' I replied, but as My hand went for my wallet I noticed it wasn't there, 'Darned, I forgot it in my office.

And I gave all funds in my storage to Hoffman, I am not going to waste one TU on this' I cursed, ''Uhm. Young man, could we pay back later?'' I asked in an embarrassed tone, the face of the waiter turned cold, ''IF YOU CAN'T PAY YOU SHOULDN'T EAT HERE!' The waiter shouted so that everyone could hear, all officers turned around and looked coldly at the 2 men, a few even stood up, ''If I ever see you near this restaurant again I will kick you away!'' The waiter even got bolder seeing he got the officer's support.

''And if he doesn't do it we will!'' A bulky Obergefreiter said, more officers joined, ''The Marshall funded us, and you're leeching off his funds, how dare you!'' The waiter shouted angrily, ''I demand you work in the Kitchens until you pay off what you have eaten!'' He continued. The officers nodded in response and even started to move towards the two. 'HOW DARE THESE SOLDIERS EVEN COME CLOSE!' I curse them, for once the emotion anger appeared again in the Marshall, the anger from humiliation, the anger of being closed in by his own subordinates.

It made him snap as he remembered what the head of the white skulls did, I said quietly in an icy and threatening tone:''You better back off, else I will get Nasty.'' ''Bwahahaha'' The officers laughed, ''You are in the Marshall's Territory, how brazen! Let me teach you a lesson lad!'' The Obergefreiter said. but before people could even see what happened the man got hit consecutively 5 times on key points of nerves, making him fall down like a pudding. '' Wha... What have you done!'' the man could still move his mouth, The other Officers backed off a bit seeing this.

''Kneel and apologise and I might let the matter of insubordination slide.'' I continue to say with an icy tone. ''Get him, lads!'' The others shouted, they rushed over, I took off my sunglasses to show who I was, but they didn't even let me take the time to do so as the sunglasses were hit out of my hand, punches rained upon me, but the Wanderers gear softens the punches making me feel only slightly the punches. It was only after them punching until being exhausted that they backed off and took a look, but when they saw the face of the man all blood disappeared, ''Ma... Marshall!'' The other officers screamed, the look of the waiter was even more solemn, I clicked on a button on the radio, and 10 seconds later 40 Golden skulls rush in whilst shouting:''MARSHALL YOU HAVE SUMMONED US WHAT IS THE EMERGENCY!''

''You said this is the Marshall's Territory, you would kick me if I was around, that I can't pay, you disregard orders, AND YOU ATTACKED YOUR OWN MARSHALL!'' I shouted angrily, the faces of the golden skulls turned savage as they heard this, ''GET ON YOUR KNEELS SCUM!'' Nova ordered them. The owner came running towards the Marshall while saying: ''Marshall w..we are deeply sorry for what our waiter has done!'' My eyes were cold as I looked at the men, ''Demote them all to external members, This establishment will hereby be closed and taken over by the Organisation, the workers will get 5 years worth of salary. Except for that waiter,'' I said while pointing at them and the waiter.

''GET OUT BASTARDS AND THANK THE MARSHALL FOR HIS MERCY!'' Nova said angrily, ''Wait, before leaving, I think you should pay for my meal.'' I demanded from the men, they all took out 120 franks, ''Here you go I have paid for the meal about 30 times.'' I said while smiling coldly towards the Waiter who was kneeling down. '' Let's go, Rommel,'' I said while walking out the door, Nova followed while the Golden skulls took the men towards the equipment centre, where they have to give all that the Organisation gave them. But the worst was the Mind shock these men got, they were all mid-ranking Internal members, deeply indoctrinated, making this a very traumatic experience.

I ordered Nova to drive towards the CC while I finally answered Zero's call, ''Marshall, it seems that the votes are almost in, you must hurry before the messenger can leave and the orders are given.'' Zero reported, ''Understood, prepare some Black hands at the ready, it seems my organisation needs some reshaping!'' I replied while still being angry remembering the debate, 'This day is getting worse and worse!' I cursed.

''Understood Sir, the Secret Police will be disguised as Black hand personnel!'' Zero answered, I hung up, ''Nova step on it you can use top priority!'' I ordered, ''Yes Marshall, activating top priority radio wave Signal!'' Nova replied. 'Hmm seems I finally needed to use it, The signal is transmitted to all devices that commanders at intersections carry, this forces them to open up a route that we can use even at the cost of halting or maybe even damaging certain equipment. 'I never use it as it is not necessary, but we mostly get China Under our thumb!' I shouted still angry in my heart.
