199 Prime Minister Ikeda's secret

In a spacious office with several artifacts from old earth, a man sat cross-legged staring at the floating screen in front of him.

With both his hands resting on top of each other, on his lap, he listened to the man seriously. On the floating screen, there was a shadowy outline of a man sitting in a very dark office with only a thin line of light rays passing the gap in the walls.

"The job you commissioned is especially difficult considering that they are on a run-down planet," said the man before blowing a puff of smoke making the video call a little hazy.

Prime minister Ikeda chuckled before saying, "Funds aren't a problem. Since I don't have any hope of uniting with them in marriage to attain control of the military and Hydra then it's a much better option to cut down his heir."

"With no one to take over after his death, I will decommission them and absorb them into the rightfully elected government. You just have to do your part well."
