But after a moment of shock and slight trepidation, he gathered his thoughts and said. "I would also like to join in as well. Although I do not know who your daughter is, I'll always be willing to help get rid of the corpse race, and solve the mysteries of her disappearance. I can capture a few, more powerful members of the corpse race for questioning, if I tag along." As a hero of the city, he felt like it was his duty to protect everyone from harm. Even those not situated directly within the city itself, so he couldn't help but volunteer.
"Great idea! Although we already have a superhero willing to support our men on this mission, having you join us is truly a blessing. You know how hard it is to get superheroes to leave their comfort zone these days, and venture outside the city on our demand, especially when they also have to investigate the Sweet Phenomenon as well as the other miscellaneous problems plaguing the city.
`
I'll notify the Justice Bureau of your request later today. I believe the task force responsible for this mission will start leaving in a couple of days, until all problematic locations have been attended to. Lastly, be prepared to meet those from outside our kingdom on your mission.
This corpse race issue is something that the entire Empire is trying to solve as a whole." Elder Trent replied to Mon Dupa, who quickly nodded to him in acceptance.
He then turned to Micas and continued. "Micas, you can send some of your men as well. I know you have connections to a lot of sects. We'll definitely need all the help we can get. The corpse race has always been a tricky group of people to deal with, so I'm also starting to believe they could likely be responsible for your daughter's death. Their recent appearance and your daughter's disappearance from years back are too coincidental."
"Thank you, teacher. I'll let my assistant pick a few men stationed in this city, to accompany your Justice Bureau officers as soon as possible. It's been a while since I've seen my granddaughter, so I wish to spend some time with her, until my men bring back vital information." Micas replied, with a look of appreciation on his face. His pale white eyes started turning back to their original brown color, after getting Trent's approval.
"Son, I also have a request for you. Please help us investigate the missing persons phenomenon more thoroughly when you have some free time in the future. As you've heard Micas' daughter Michelle, is a victim of it, and we need all the help we can get. I don't fully believe the corpse race or the Fang Clan are truly involved in her disappearance.
It may be some hidden gang or cult. There's always a new gang or cult starting every year in this city. And it could also be a sect, which is worse. But you can never be too sure" Trent said to Mon Dupa, after listening to Micas' confirmation.
