Gundam, Gravity Elegy

"Tsk..."

"Ok?"

As if they had heard something, their gaze, seemingly filled with doubt, turned towards them.

At the same time, the boy who looked slightly younger suddenly became irritable:

"What grievance do you have, you Earth bastard?!"

"..."

…………

The characters that appear are not original either, but they are so obscure that they were removed from the comics. Their names were later used by other works, so there are only descriptions of their appearance and identity, and not even a picture of them can be found.

Therefore, I had a friend run the image rendering using AI.

Chapter Fourteen: Ghouls (Eighth Update)

Today, Gao Ren felt as if he had forgotten to check the almanac before going out.

First, it was bad enough that we encountered heightened security checks at the port, but then we ended up sharing an elevator with Zeon people in a place that should be considered a friendly territory of the Federation.

What's more troublesome is that the other person doesn't seem to have a very good temper either.

"Damn it, dare to fight me if you dare?!"

In just a brief exchange of glances, Gao Ren, without uttering a single word, witnessed the once handsome young man tear away his facade of elegance and descend into madness.

Fortunately, his companion... his brother was a normal person:

"terribly sorry."

The other boy reached out and grabbed his brother, expressing his apology.

"My younger brother, his emotions are a bit unstable."

Although he spoke eloquently, this was beyond what could be described as unstable—such words should certainly not be uttered.

Seeing this, Gao Ren could only manage a relatively kind smile:

"It's okay, we've arrived at our destination anyway."

Glancing at the rapidly moving elevator, Gao Ren simply shielded Ai Lian behind him and quickly stepped out, the cursing still echoing behind him.

"If you look at me like that again, I'll gouge your eyes out, you hear me...?"

"Dio!!"

Then, before the man could continue cursing, the muffled thuds of continuous punching echoed in the elevator.

When Gao Ren subconsciously turned around, he saw that the supposedly gentle and reliable young man had punched his hot-tempered brother to the ground and then kicked him in the stomach.

The sound, which was clearly made with all their might, was so loud it was almost tooth-ache-inducing that Gao Ren had to retract his previous assessment—perhaps neither of the two brothers was reliable.

then……

"The lieutenant seemed to have said earlier that this place wasn't affiliated with Zeon?"

When Gao Ren turned around, he saw a hint of lingering fear in the eyes behind the veil.

"I almost took the veil off."

"Well, there's some truth to that. After all, this place was originally Zeon's occupied territory."

Although Ellen's attitude was indeed gentle, Gao Ren still felt as if he had been slapped directly in the face, his cheek burning with pain.

"Well, the probability of something like this happening is never 100%, you know that?"

"Hmm~"

"In reality, due to the war, the Pell Corporation, whose main business is entertainment, did not have a substantial fortune like other industrial groups. Zeon caused it a lot of losses, so it had to choose to rely on the Federation in order to make a profit from participating in the post-war reconstruction work..."

But in the end, Gao Ren felt like a federal witness who had been so devastated by the facts that he couldn't stand up and started talking nonsense.

In the end, even something held in one's arms could utter such a thing:

"Ren, you idiot."

"No, what's wrong with you... Oh, I accidentally pressed the power button."

Finally, he couldn't help but slap his forehead:

"Let's leave it at that for now and go find the captain."

Regardless of what Ellen thought, Gao Ren felt that his own idea was correct.

If companies like Javi Enterprises and Pell Corporation hadn't maintained good working relationships with the federal government, this so-called 'infiltration' operation wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

It can even be described as simple:

Just walk down one floor from the fire escape, then turn right into the depths of the corridor and knock on the left-hand door on the inside:

"Rashid Shipping Company has come to discuss business."

Then, the door opened, and through the crack, a familiar, scarred face was revealed.

Behind the sunglasses, a pair of scarlet eyes exuded a sense of oppression, but the exaggerated expression quickly dispelled any sinister intent.

"Come in."

Finally, we reached the finish line.

"So, you encountered Zeon soldiers on your way here?"

That topic is over!

Seeing that his captain seemed about to cause some trouble again, Gao Ren quickly stopped him.

"Instead of all that, tell me about your situation. We're very pressed for time."

"There's no rush, let's catch our breath first."

At this point, Cuvatro glanced at the curtains, which were almost always closed:

"Anyway, it's already in the implementation phase, isn't it?"

…………

Yes, the arrival of Gao Ren and his group itself signified the end of the plan.

In fact, once the basic framework of the operation plan was finalized as an infiltration plan, the bulk of the work fell on the preliminary investigation.

Putting aside their previous disguise as Zeon soldiers and the chaotic flaws in their command system, the only truly experienced person here is Kuvatro.

Having come from an intelligence background, he was naturally skilled in operations behind enemy lines. Moreover, compared to places like space or colonies where even escaping was difficult, Earth, with its interconnected terrain, should be more suitable for him to utilize his abilities.

only……

"However, I didn't expect you to have such an easy life."

Sitting on the sofa used for receiving guests, Gao Ren couldn't help but sigh, and this statement was by no means an exaggeration.

Just by looking around, what comes into view is the area of ​​over 100 square meters. The interior can only be described as magnificent and luxurious, almost perfectly embodying the phrase "debauchery and extravagance".

"You spent five days in a place like this?"

"To be precise, it's been 3 days. After all, I only arrived here 4 days ago and slept soundly for a while. Let me tell you, the soundproofing here is excellent. Even if it's noisy outside, it won't affect the inside."

A man dressed simply in a T-shirt but wearing flashy sunglasses gave a thumbs up:

"In addition, there is a luxury restaurant on the top floor with delicious food. There is also a huge casino next door to the hotel, where I spend most of my time now."

Even more unreliable than his unreliable attire was his response; the overwhelming sense of irresponsibility left even a serious soldier like Miss Eileen looking bewildered.

She might be able to accept those little jokes, but when it really involved important matters, she reverted to that anxious expression:

"Well, the port is currently unloading cargo, and considering the subsequent inspection procedures, we only have a maximum of 30 hours..."

"Alright, this isn't a big problem in itself. I still need to wait for Javi Enterprises to deliver all the various weapons to us. Besides, casinos are a mixed bag of people, which is indeed a good place to gather intelligence..."

"But the lieutenant said before that we wouldn't encounter any Zeon people..."

"So it really was just an accident..."

Meeting the suspicious gaze of the communications officer, Gao Ren felt his head begin to throb.

"So why don't you just tell me everything you know?"

"Yes, yes, so where should we begin?"

Meeting Gao Ren's urgent gaze, Kuvatro, who appeared more relaxed and at ease, simply shrugged:

"First, there's the city's garrison. Compared to traditional armies, you should have realized what this place relies on, right?"

"...Mobile Suit?"

"That's right. Because of the sparse population, whether it's maritime inspection or anything else, we actually rely more on mobile suits than on numbers. Putting aside basic security, our biggest enemy is those elite pilots."

"However, the front lines should be able to relieve a lot of the pressure on us."

"Indeed, in fact, from the moment General Gao Yun chose to deploy the MS troops a few days ago, even the city's garrison was mobilized to rush to the front line... But unfortunately, the doctor we are 'rescuing' has an 'elite' force by his side."

"Elite?"

"They call themselves—ghouls."

"Is that so? Who's the leader?"

"do not know."

"?"

"I really don't know. This unit has never appeared in Zeon's intelligence department before, neither recently nor in the earliest Loum."

Faced with Gao Ren's silent questioning, Kuvatro shook his head helplessly:

"However, based on the information I have personally gathered, they should be a private team belonging to the Zabi family."

"evidence?"

"Are all the members just pretty boys and girls?"

"..."

"Just kidding, but their authority is indeed excessively high, and more importantly, their behavior can only be described as inhuman."

Knowing that much of what he said was nonsense, Cuvatro quickly became serious:

Do you know what they've been up to lately?

Chapter Fifteen: Inhuman (Ninth Update)

"Claudio!!"

'boom'

'boom'

"Didn't I tell you to be quiet? Why do you insist on going against my wishes? Why?!"

Inside the enclosed elevator, the sounds of fists pounding into flesh echoed.

Perhaps because the Per Group's hotels prioritize personal privacy, there weren't even any cameras in the seemingly luxurious elevators, so no one could see the violence taking place inside.

Even the person involved seems to have given up resisting.

"I'm sorry, brother, but that guy is really..."

'boom'
