Chapter 557 Alternative Plans?
"…But, I do believe that in the next round, they would definitely send a person who has already reached the ninth stage of the superhuman level, even if it is going to attract some attention."
"They can just continue to send people over. But, it doesn't matter who it is that they send, but, I'll make sure that they don't ever return to where they came from as long as they come to attack me first." Jack responded nonchalantly.
With his response, Sylvia remained silent. She did not really know where Jack got the confidence, but for some reason, after experiencing all during the past 2 days, she had already started believing in what he said.
Since Jack had already said that he was going to be capable of taking care of the problem if it came, then, she decided not to focus on the matter. Instead, she decided that she was going to deal with it another thing, and that was, how they were going to handle what was coming next.
Either by coincidence or not, her aunt had called her the previous night and informed her that her brother had already returned back to the family. And for that reason, he had asked for her first. And, he had already sent someone to come over and look for her.
As for the information about where she was currently, that was something that she did not know if her brother knew about it or not. But, Sylvia believed that it was not going to take long for him to be able to find her.
So, it was better if they could take care of this problem that was here at their doorsteps before the one that had been sent by her brother came over.
It was a good thing that the one that was coming over was not coming with the intention of killing her, but instead, it was just the intention of taking her back to the stronghold where she belonged. But, that was just something that she was not willing to do.
Jack continued with what he was doing. He had already completed the research that was required, but, what was remaining was the production of the attacking device. So, he progressed with that.
Sylvia did not leave. Instead, she was quite curious about what it was that Jack was planning to create. So, she decided to remain behind and observe this. Additionally, it was not as if she had anything to do right now, so, she could just continue staying here while wasting time.
…
While all of this was going on, there was total silence within the force organization. Well, the entire force organization was occupying just a small building that had been purchased by the money that was possessed by the top leaders of the branch organization that was present within Stronghold number 17.
After Jack took over everything, they did not have anywhere to go. So, they could only purchase another building where they could station it as their base for the organization operations. But, this was something that made many people look down on them.
After all, not long ago, they were possessing several big buildings, together with several shops. Although they could not be compared to the ones that were owned by the Panthers organization and the butterfly organization, but still, they were big.
Currently, the Force organization was the talk of the entire stronghold. Even the normal people already knew that currently, the Force organization was facing a catastrophe. It was just that they did not understand what it was considering that suddenly, the Force organization suddenly lost all the resources the they possessed previously.
Inside the newly purchased building, Matthias and the other two were standing in front of a man. All of them had their heads bowed, not daring to look at the person in front of them.
The man who was seated in front of them was a middle-aged man. He had blonde hair that was reaching his shoulders, with well trimmed beards. His brown eyes were looking at the three people in front of him with impatience.
The way that he was seated gave the dominating an arrogant aura, stating that there was nothing that he could not do in here.
"I want answers from you right now. You were given the authority of managing the branch here, but surprisingly, instead of managing the branch, you decided to give away everything. Do you know how much face we are going to lose?
You have to understand that whatever actions that you take here, they are going to affect the headquarters. It doesn't matter how big or small it affects it, but still, an effect is still an effect. So, why don't you tell me what is going on here?" The man asked in a deep voice filled with authority.
At the same time as he spoke, he released the superhuman aura. This aura was way higher as compared to the one that Smith and Watson possessed. So, the three people who were not even superhumans were easily overwhelmed by the aura.
The three of them had not expected that the one that was going to be sent over was just a single person. But, this person did not come over to help them, but instead, he came here with his own aims.
And other than that, he was just doing all other things for fun. To say the truth, the headquarters really did not care much about the branches out here. After all, the branches did not contribute much to the headquarters, but instead, they mainly depended on the headquarters.
In return, the branches were only used in order to recruit more people into the organization. If there was a talent, then, that talent was going to be snatched by the headquarters.
As for the branch where the talent was from, they would be compensated by a few resources. But, the resources that were sent over were definitely nothing to the headquarters, just some trash.
Matthias already knew that this person had come over simply because of Jack. Jack was way more important than a branch organization. But anyway, it was good enough that Jack was the same person who had caused them the problem.
So, if Jack was taken care of, then, the problem that the Force organization would be facing would be over. It was just that, he could not get what he wanted as long as this guy was here.
He wanted to get everything that he had given to Jack previously, given to him with an interest. But, from the looks of it, that was going to be an impossibility for now.
Matthias decided to explain everything because he was the one who had initiated everything. So, he went ahead and described how Jack and his group had come over to register as members of the stronghold domain.
It was then that they realized that there was something abnormal about him and his group. Not only were there too superhumans, but, one of them possessed a special ability, while another one possessed a strange genetic structure, and he was at the second stage of the superhuman level.
Of course, if it was just a matter of a superhuman, then, that was not a problem. After all, how many superhumans were present within the entire stronghold domain? So many.
It was just that, the age of the two people who were in the superhuman level was very low, as compared to the age that was recorded as the minimum requirement for the ordinary humans be able to become superhumans.
But, the people that were sent over got killed, and for compensation for causing him trouble, Jack came over and took over everything that this branch possessed.
After hearing all these, the man really did not care much about what had happened to the branch. Instead, what he paid attention to was the fact that Jack, a stage two superhuman with a strange genetic structure was actually capable of dealing with Smith and Watson, stage two and stage 3 superhumans.
At this point, he was quite curious about this Jack. So, instead of asking for any more information, he looked at Matthias and asked, "Do you happen to know about where this Jack is at?"
Of course, what he was paying attention to was not only about Jack's whereabouts, but instead, it was also about the other person that was mentioned, the lady who possessed a special ability.
He did not understand the reason why he was not asked to bring her back to the headquarters. But nevertheless, if he found that she was actually a good seedling, then, he wouldn't mind taking her back to the organization headquarters.
Perhaps the leader was going to commend him for that. So, he wanted to get where Jack and his group were at as soon as possible. He wanted to complete the mission and go back to the organization headquarters.
"Yes, we have been keeping an eye on them for the past few days. The most surprising thing is the fact that they have not been moving around, and just stayed inside the same building. But, materials kept on going inside there from time to time with other equipment." Matthias responded.
He had already been preparing for his revenge earlier on. So, of course, he had been keeping an eye on Jack and his group. So, what surprised him was the fact that Jack and his group did not actually run away, but instead, they remained inside the stronghold, doing something that he did not know.
"That's good. Take me there." The man stated as he got to his feet. From the way that he was speaking, it was so authoritative that it did not give Matthias and the rest of the group a chance of giving an objection.
