The Mech Touch

Chapter 6942  Lighting Application

Although it was just the opening strike, the fact that an enemy not only managed to get its hands on weapon-grade superdimensional matter, but decisively expended it on an assassination attempt against Ves showed real commitment!

There was an enemy out there that was willing to waste extremely valuable resources just to make Ves dead!

Many people frowned when they thought about who might have a reason to eliminate Ves and who possessed the qualifications to obtain the highest grade of superdimensional matter.

When they put these two lists together and identified which parties happened to be present in both, there was still a fair number of individuals and organizations that happened to be on both at the same time.

Perhaps the Larkinson Clan might be able to narrow down the possible culprits further by attempting to collect additional intelligence on the suspicious actors, but Ves did not think that his spies could gain any conclusive answers.

His personal assistant concurred. "The groups that have received a batch of weapon-grade superdimensional matter are known to us, but it is dangerous for us to accuse any of them for being responsible for bombarding the facility where the operations took place without solid proof. We can conduct all of the data analysis we want, but it is all circumstantial at best. If it is too difficult for us to obtain answers, then it is best not to seek them out and risk making the wrong judgments."

"The Devos Ancient Clan bears culpability. That cannot be denied." Casella Ingvar stated. "It is clear that a third party has secretly compromised the orbital defense platform and hacked it to launch the superdimensional round at us, but that does not excuse the negligence shown by the Devosans. Not only did they miss the transfer of an extremely rare and dangerous superdimensional gauss round, but none of its personnel had successfully managed to detect and report the discrepancies in time."

Ves casually waved his hand. "The kind of people that are able to obtain weapon-grade superdimensional matter is not average. These top powers have plenty of ways to compromise the security of one of many orbital defense platforms. That does not necessarily excuse this security breach, but I don't blame the Devosans for their failure. We would have been just as helpless if we took their place. There is no need to give them a hard time."

The Devos Ancient Clan had shown a lot of goodwill towards the Larkinson Clan. The two maintained friendly relations as well as a few ongoing business agreements. Ves was not keen on disrupting this mutually beneficial relationship.

Several people nodded after Ves had made his case.

"Our clan is prepared to demand moderate concessions from the Devosans." Gavin said. "The ancient clan will most definitely oblige to our requests, if only to rebuild trust and win back the honor it had lost for allowing such an important guest to become exposed to elevated danger."

This should not be a difficult matter. Ves believed that his staff could take care of this issue by themselves.
