BXBX NOVEL Chapter 67 - I'm Back!
"So, with this serum. Someone can build a super-soldier with little to no side effects. Am I right?" Emma asked, trying to hide the joy in his voice.
>>This really comes at the right time.
'Sure. It really comes to the right… But wait. I thought you're not talking to me anymore.'
>>Piss off. Do you want me to ignore you again?
'Oh come. You know I'm kidding. It's nice to have you back.' Emma rolled his eyes. 'Previously, you are the one that makes my life a living hell. Now, it is my turn. Ha-ha.' He thought happily.
The brief conversation between Lily and Emma barely took two seconds. The twins didn't notice any anomaly in Emma's expression. They nodded with continuous proud smiles on their face.
"Good. I need this serum, but the cooldown is an issue." Emma pursed his lips.
What!
The twins looked at Emma with their eyes widened. How can he not be satisfied with that cooldown? They rolled their eyes shut of words.
"Can you make the cooldown go from 30 minutes to like 10?" Emma asked, ignoring their stupefied gazed. 'I knew what you're thinking, but with the system. I believe nothing is impossible.'
Hearing this, Arce and Jimena wanted to pounce on Emma and gave him a nice beating. Did he think genetics is a child that could be turned on and off as we like? After a few seconds, the twins shook their heads.
"We don't know yet. We only recently discovered how to make the gene cool down for 30 minutes. Probably, after more research, we may find the answer to cool it down to 10."
"Ok, where are your tools?"
"It's a hidden place. We can get it anytime we want." Jimena answered.
Emma stood up. "When I'm done with my business here. We are leaving at once. So, you can relax for the time being." He entered the bedroom.
2 days later.
Emma had assimilated the Nanomites fusion contract technology and understanding the know-how. While also he understood the underline logic in the CloudyX Camouflaging Technology. With his understanding of advanced technology from the system. He derives a new technology from Paralaz and CloudyX.
Eagle Eyes.
Emma smiled, looking at the bunch of data on his computer. 'With this, Vulture City is in my palm.'
>> I didn't expect you to derive a new technology from the CloudyX camouflaging technology and the Paralaz sensor technology. That is quite an innovation.
>>Ding*
[Creating a new technology by combining two different technologies. Eagle Eyes. You earn a reward.]
[Reward: 50 Exp]
>>Please keep up the good work.
The sudden notification shocked Emma. After a few seconds, he shook his head and smile. "I didn't expect the slight epiphany while studying will produce Eagle's Eyes and with a reward from the system." He murmured happily.
Coming out of the bedroom. The twins turn their heads and look at Emma with wide eyes. It had been two days since Emma came out of the room. They were quite worried at first. But when they glance into the room and saw him working seriously on his computer. Then they knew Emma was a workaholic like them.
"How's everything?" Emma slumped in the chair.
"Good! Reaper City had been in a state of uproar from the recent robbery. The DarkKnight deployed all their men to the street, looking for…" Arce turned and looked at Emma.
"What!" Emma rolled his eyes.
"Nothing." Arce shook his head. A chuckled echoed while Emma and Arce turned their head. Seeing their gaze, Jimena averted her eyes, looking at the ceiling. Arce cleared his throat. "The DarkKnight seems to forget about this hotel"
"Not really. A powerful hotel will not disclose the identity of its customer. So with this, we can infer that the people behind this hotel are not ordinary." Emma explained.
Oh!
Arce and Jimena nodded, hearing Emma explain. "I've purchased all the items you ask me to buy. And I have shipped it to the address you gave me. It should arrive in Vulture City today." Jimena announced with a smile.
"Good!" Emma stretched his body. "How much did you spend?"
"$50 million," Jimena answered, puffing her chest forward a bit.
"Hmm, that lower than I expected. What happened?"
"I negotiate with the managers and asked for a considerate discount since we are buying in large quantities."
"From all of them..?" Emma raised his brow. 'Did she have a knack for business or these managers are stupid?'
"Yeah" Jimena nodded proudly. "I took a little business class when I'm in uni"
"Oh… Well done."
'Now, Pat resources kept me here… What is that stupid man doing. Why hasn't he contacted me?'
>>What's it…?
'I'm thinking about that stupid Pat. This is the third day and I haven't seen his call.'
>>Worry not. The resources you requested are enormous. I believe he will contact you soon.
'If not… He can only get his ass kicked. The DarkKnight is still looking for the thief. It won't be a bad idea to turn him into a thief. Right?'
>>What about your righteous deeds?
'Yeah… It's because I'm righteous that's why I wanted to turn him in.'
>>Seriously….! I don't even understand you anymore.
'How can an AI understand a righteous soul? It is impossible. You watch and learn.'
Beep! Beep!
While Emma and Lily were bantering. His mobile received a notification. He stopped his banter and checked the notification. 'This bastard luck is not bad. When I'm considering kicking his ass, and he notifies me of completing the job. Let see what he did.'
Emma left the sitting room and went into the bathroom to take a quick shower. He couldn't waste his time staying in Reaper City anymore. After a few minutes, Emma came out of the bathroom looking fresh, while all the accumulated fatigue lessened.
"I'm going out. I'll be right back." Emma announced, picking his phone, not waiting for the twins to reply, leaving the hotel suite. The twins looked at each other faces and turn to the Tv show.
..
At the previous meeting location. Pat moved back and forth, checking his watch frequently. Behind him were many trucks with hefty men beside them. All the men had their gaze fixed on Pat. However, none of them made a sound.
Creak!
A black car entered the dilapidated factory. While all the men raised their guard, bringing out their weapons. Pat's eyes fixed on the black car with his hand behind his back. A young man came out of the car with no expression on his face. Seeing the young man. Pat breathes a sigh of relief.
"Yo, what took you so long. This kind of deal needs to be moved immediately." Pat announced with slight annoyance.
"Don't give me that shit. Don't you know when you notify me?" Emma raised his brow, looking at the trucks.
"Forget…" Pat waves his hand. "Come check the deal. We need to move fast." He leads Emma to the back of the trucks.
Seeing Pat, the heft men open the back door of the truck. Emma watched everything without uttering a word. After checking the truck, Pat looks at Emma for feedback. Noticing Pat's gaze.
"I won't say anything now until disassemble the item and use them. If they are up to my liken. Then, you're safe." Emma responded.
Hearing the confidence and the slight threat in Emma's voice. Pat shivered. "Mr. Manny. You have nothing to fear. These are all the best."
Saying no more words, Emma make the last transaction while the men drove the truck, heading to Vulture City.
Back at the Hotel, it surprised the twins to see Emma so soon. But they didn't voice their concern, and Emma didn't utter a word.
"We need to move. We're leaving."
"Leaving!" Jimena's question in shock.
"Do you want to remain here?" Emma picked his small computer bag, leaving the hotel. Seeing this, the twins scrambled after him.
"I believe I notify you 2 days ago that we're probably leaving today. So why are you shocked?"
"Nothing. We're just not prepared, that's all." Arce replied.
"We're picking your baggage on the move." Emma left the hotel while a black car was already waiting for them.
"No problem."
Entering the car, Emma dial a number on his phone. After a few seconds, a husky voice came from the other end.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Captain Murray. This Mr. Manny."
"Oh! Mr. Manny."
…
At the underground train station in Vulture City. Three young people came out of the express train. "Yeah! I'm finally back." One of them shouted, attracting the attention of others. They looked at him with wides eyes, ignoring him. However, the young man that shouted seems to be oblivious to their piercing gaze. While the two other people looked at each other and shook their heads.
Who is this young man?
The Righteous Thief.
[[Synchronizing with Zeus Server.]]
[[Connecting to the Main Server. Connected]]
[[Zeus online.]]
[[Welcome back. Master.]]
[[Your car is ready.]]
Hearing Zeus's voice, Emma smiled widened. 'Now, I don't need to be to caution of any threat.'
>>Why are you so happy....?
