Chapter 155
The Toyko Area citizens were angry and they made sure to let their voices be heard . Noah"s question only added fuel to their seething anger, their deafening objections and curses rang clearly in his ears .
Seitenshi bitterly smiled as she closed her eyes, she couldn"t stop Noah in time .
The citizens were unaware of the explosive kegs they were all sitting on .
Only Seitenshi who more or less knew Noah reckoned this won"t be easy to clean up .
The Fairy Tail members weren"t staggered by the fuming mob, they cast their eyes on the leader they trusted .
This is the faith they had in Noah after seeing the back-breaking work he did for all of them over a year .
"Are those your answers?"
Noah asked simply, his voice chilled the surrounding temperature as the mob piped down .
Noah roamed his eyes over all the citizens here, his dark and deep eyes shaking them to the core . Out of instinct, they lowered or averted their gazes .
Noah glanced over everyone and he continued .
"Very well, I have bore witness to your answers . Today, let me fulfill your requests . "
Noah stared at Seitenshi and he dropped the bomb on them .
"Seitenshi-sama, all Fairy Tail members will relinquish their right and partic.i.p.ation in the lottery for bunker entry tickets . Let them have the quotas!"
Seitenshi was stunned .
Not only that, the citizens didn"t expect this turnaround .
"Ohhhh!"
They started cheering after exchanging looks of disbelief .
Despite depriving others of their chances and rights to life, indirectly killing others for their own selfish gains, the 1000 or so riot members weren"t saddled with guilt . Instead, they cheered as if they just won the lottery or something .
Although the Fairy Tail members had different thoughts, they didn"t question Noah"s judgment .
They trusted Fairy Tail absolutely .
Even when Noah"s decision sounded like he cut off their lifelines, they didn"t think so .
Noah chortled when he saw the citizens cheering together .
Noah dropped another bomb .
"Also, Fairy Tail and its members will not partic.i.p.ate in the Adjuvant or any related Tokyo Area defense operations . "
"What?!"
Seitenshi went pale .
Finally, it struck the citizens, the implications of Noah"s declaration . They started sweating cold bullets .
It didn"t take long for all the protest members to get the larger picture .
Fairy Tail is a special organization . Without a doubt, every Initiator or Promoter that bears the insignia were the top, if not the best at their jobs .
Noah personally vetted the promoters, only worthy and capable promoters were allowed to pair with the cursed children he trained and reared . This is the major reason why the Promoters and Initiators from Fairy Tail are all excellent and talented individuals .
Because of the unique way Fairy Tail operated . Numerous external civil defense officers came in droves, bolstering Fairy Tail"s already staggering firepower . They were also powerful and capable external IP who joined .
In Tokyo Area, almost half of all veteran civil defense officers were affiliated with Fairy Tail .
In absolute number, civil defense officers from Fairy Tail also made up a sizeable portion of the active civil defense officer"s population .
If Fairy Tail bows out, the Tokyo Area defense force will be left in a very precarious situation .
With Fairy Tail out of the picture, the defense operation going forward would be incredibly dangerous, the chances of a total wipe-out is also very high .
Noah"s decision would be the last straw that broke Tokyo Area"s back .
"Guild master Noah!"
Seitenshi raised her voice with Noah .
"How could you?!"
"Why not?"
Noah answered without any emotion .
"They want us dead . Why should I protect people who want us all dead?"
"Bu-but, what does this solve?"
Seitenshi said with a panicky tone .
"You"re all citizens of Tokyo Area, if it gets destroyed, what about you guys? How will you live?"
"That doesn"t concern you, we will handle that ourselves . "
Noah gave her a glance .
"We wouldn"t want to waste your time . "
"I . . . "
Seitenshi wanted to say something but Noah didn"t want to continue listening, he"s frankly too tired to deal with this .
Noah addressed the mob .
"I have seen enough of you fools to know that a majority of you are dumber than a nail . As for the smart ones among you, you should know you reap what you sow . "
"Hence, when Tokyo Area gets wiped out and most of you died at the jaws of the Gastreas . Remember, you"re the ones who got yourselves in this mess, by pushing away the power that protected you, you brought this upon yourselves . "
"You people decided it was somehow in your best interest that the ones who put their lives on the lines for your sake should die . "
"You, and no one else dug your own graves . "
"Remember that . . . "
"One more thing . . . "
Noah pulled out his gun and he pulled the trigger on Takuto .
Bang
Takuto"s head exploded the moment the large-caliber bullet struck his head . The bullets are anti-tank, imagine what it can do to a human"s head, it ain"t pretty .
Bang bang bang bang
The Fairy Tail members executed the tied up culprits .
They were absolutely shocked and astounded, including Seitenshi .
"Remember this!"
Noah swept his cold eyes over the mob around them .
"This is what happens to people who attacks Fairy Tail!"
Noah led his people away from the area, the mob were too stunned to say or do anything .
"Gyaaahhhh!"
The mob finally regained their senses as they shrieked at the horrifying scene laid out in front of them . The reporters also reported this scene with pale sickly looks .
Seitenshi who was protected behind a squad of bodyguards looked at the bodies on the ground and she looked at the direction Noah departed from . She looked like an ent.i.ty of desolation .
Why?
How did things become like this?
