…
Esmond received the System Notifications, sending his mind scrambling for answers on how the hell Igdra had gathered the girls and sent them to take a dip within the Universal Essence Spring.
Unable to do anything about it right now, Esmond focused on the messages from the System to be surprised that all three girls had a hidden bloodline.
Confused how all three could have such a unique body feature locked into the depths of their cells, Esmond decided to drown his pains and sorrows for the night in alcohol and drugs.
By the time he woke up in the morning the following day, Esmond found himself in a hotel room with Carter talking to him through his mind.
'Buddy… we got a big problem in here…
Massive fucking problem!' Carter yelled frantically as he stressed about the three girls and the wild Igdra.
"Leave it…
*Sigh* Make sure Igdra doesn't dare to do anything else, otherwise I'll probably lose whatever patience I have left."
Esmond groaned as he dragged himself out of bed and into the shower, completely ignoring the person beside him on the bed.
He believed it to be either Ivan or Viktor so not paying any attention to the person, Esmond jumped straight into the shower and started to wash away the drunken mess from last night.
Yet there was another string of messes he needed to clean up from last night's antics.
Before Esmond knew it, he felt some soft hands touching his back as they slowly trickled down his muscular back.
"Viktor… if this is some sick joke, I swear to God… my foot will be shoved deep into your asshole." Esmond said, annoyed and furious over the morning games.
"Viktor…?
Have you forgotten about me and our little 'fun' time last night?" the flirtatious feminine voice completely caught Esmond off guard as he turned his head to find a blonde-haired beauty before his eyes.
She was naked and joined him in the shower, with her hands locking around Esmond's head as she pulled herself closer to him.
Esmond never stopped her actions as he tried to connect the dots from last night, only to struggle with his memory.
Yet he instead remembered where else he'd seen the blonde-haired and strikingly beautiful lady with sharp features and a luscious figure.
Her aqua coloured eyes were striking enough to leave a last effect.
"Ava Harper… we meet again."
"We already met last night, but… I'm happy to meet 'it' instead…" Ava flirtatiously giggled and reached for Esmond's crotch.
With his mind focused on the drama created by Igdra, Esmond didn't even bother to consider how he came across Ava last night or how they ended up back at the hotel.
Taking this opportunity to get closer with Ava and further away from his troubles, Esmond locked lips with her as the two drowned themselves in hot sex throughout the hotel room until Esmond's phone interrupted the two enough to stop.
.
"Old Friend…
Where are you right now?" Viktor's voice came through the other end of the phone, which startled Esmond since Viktor sounded concerned and a little afraid.
Esmond turned around to face Ava, who was out of breath and utterly exhausted from the multiple rounds of sex.
Just past her head, the bedside table contained a small letter head with the hotels name.
"Fairmont Grand Hotel…"
"… I'll be there soon my friend."
Once Esmond heard the call end abruptly, he got up and jumped into the shower once again before grabbing some clothes from his Inventory Storage.
"Your… leaving… already…?" Ava tried to say while out of breath and unable to move, though she tried to convey her thoughts through her eyes to keep Esmond from leaving.
Seeing her exhausted and unbelievable figure, Esmond made the decision to not leave her as he planned to and left his number behind while getting hers.
Leaving her with a deep long kiss, Esmond asked her to message him or call once she felt better since he was spending another day in Ukraine.
Once he left the room and headed towards the elevator, Ava quickly changed from her flirtatious demeanour to a sharp and strewed person who appeared furious and a little embarrassed.
Esmond had pushed her further than she excepted during their hot and passionate sex marathon that left her weak in the knees.
While she admitted Esmond from the time, she met him at JFK First Class Lounge improved by leaps and bounds since she last saw him, mainly due to the Golden Sentry Serum, Ava kept her mind together until Esmond made her feel flushed.
Eventually her mind struggled to keep itself stable through the hot love, passion-making session and sizzling organism that wouldn't stop building up and causing her body to writher in excitement.
However, she still understood her main goal pertained to understanding who Esmond was and to get close with him.
Ava tried to upload some hidden apps onto Esmond's phone which easily was accepted by the phone's code, not knowing that Carter was the only reason her spyware got upload.
Carter became aware of her actions and prepared himself to inform Esmond, but he held from making such a decision since it would probably break what was left of the man's sanity.
He'd already rewritten the spyware to help him instead and find those controlling Ava.
Carter even caught the conversation Ava had with her superiors once she grabbed a hold of her mobile phone.
"He left?
Did you at least upload the spyware?" A husky voice from the other side of the call sound too aggressive and demanding for Carters liking.
Regardless of that, it seemed the voice had enough strength to get whatever they needed from Ava who quickly replied, while explaining she would be leaving soon herself.
While Carter tried to figure out who Ava worked for, Esmond never expected to receive a bear bug from Viktor.
The Ukrainian man looked close to tears when he saw Esmond coming out the main doors of the Fairmont Grand Hotel.
After being let go and dragged over to Viktor's car, the Ukrainian started explaining what truly occurred last night.
Apparently, the alcohol they drank had been laced with some sleeping drugs that knocked out Ivan and Viktor, leaving them behind in the private room of the club.
Since the drugs wouldn't do anything to Esmond since his physique would destroy the harmful compound immediately, his drunken and drugged state instead was induced by products from the Space.
Roughly at that point Esmond came across Ava who nobody could understand how she'd entered the club, let alone the private room.
Once Esmond left the club, they lost him, which they only realised in the morning once they awoke and found Esmond gone.
"Old Friend…
I suggest you get rid of those clothes and any electronics you might have…
While I would like to say this is Ukraine and our home… Russia can infiltrate itself in places we least desire." Viktor's comments left Esmond thinking about his tech, but considering he had Carter and the others, he wasn't overly concerned.
He still made a quick mental call to Carter just to make sure everything was okay.
.
'Yeah…
I'll get right on it.' Carter tried to sound like everything was normal and all good, but Esmond immediately figured something was wrong.
He could tell easily when Carter failed to hide something, and right now it sounded like information was either important, damaging or both.
'Carter… what the hell is it?' Esmond demanded, with his eyes on the road before him.
'Ava… well…um… she ain't good news.' Carter sheepishly said, as he noticed Esmond's furiousness rising exponentially, before settling down in an instant.
'*Sigh* Prepare everything for me by the time I return home.' Esmond couldn't help but feel gutted and annoyed by the last 24 hours.
Ignoring everything else concerning the Space or Ava, Esmond decided to look forward to the meeting ahead with the Minister of Fuel and Energy.
Yuriy Vasylovych Prodan, a power engineer and politician who supported Yulia behind the scenes enough to be ask with initialising Esmond's plans.
This included providing the nation with a great deal of gas and fuel from two abandoned sites that were now owned by Esmond.
Esmond explained to Yulia that he intended to buy several more abandoned sites since he'd 'discovered' large reserves of nation resources.
Of course, Yulia was delighted to hear this, but she also knew Esmond wouldn't give up the materials so easily.
Surprisingly Esmond offered to rebuild the sites and provide the fuel energy resources at a cheap rate as long as the government helped him expand his influence in the nation.
Yulia opposed the plan from the beginning, but aware Viktor Fedorovych Yanukovych would completely ruin the nation she held so dear to her heart, she decided to help Esmond and called on her allies.
Yuriy Vasylovych Prodan happened to be one of Yulia close allies, so she asked him to get in touch with Esmond and start working out their full cooperation.
Both at a public and hidden level from the world.
.
"How do you feel…?"
"*Sigh* Confused…
Not long ago I was burned and discarded by my nation, only to find out an old friend still lived, even though his death weighed me down.
How do you think one should feel, Bryce Arrver?" Mark Hoentjen asked his new friend and associate.
Since he received the mysterious call while out searching in Thailand for some people that long disappeared before he arrived.
After the call convinced him that his skills could be utilised once more for the good of the world while clearing his name and identity, Mark accepted and instantly flew over to the United States of America.
On his arrival Templar and Assassin Operatives took him away for expediated training through the new and improved Animus which was recreated through the Virtual World into the Cerebrum Dive Gear which used the Educational Military Training Pods.
Connecting the two together, meant Mark could access memories from the past ancestry, similar to the Animus Project, but the main function of the Cerebrum Dive Gear was to download a great deal of information into someone's mind and body.
Mark spent a weak within the Pod learning every sort of martial art style in the history of the world and within the database of the Space.
Other skills and abilities from smithery to unlocking doors and hacking computer systems were all taught to him until Mark became the ultimate operative.
After that he was selected to serve and protect important individuals of the two hidden Orders while building his own team of Operatives from the trained Agents.
For a short time, Mark didn't do much but wait his superiors asked him to protect Bryce Arrver, a Templar Agent who served the Order by coercion of the System and its powers.
Because he lived his life in line with the Templar Orders way of life, Bryce was selected by the System and changed into a full-fledged member.
'Persuasion' from Penelope Raghar and Ellea Vashelm had done enough to convince Bryce to work for the Avitus Financial Group which was operated by the Templars and Assassins in secret.
.
Today, on the 5th of April 2008, Bryce was sent with Mark to 225 West 58th Street of New York, also known as Billionaires' Row.
They were tasked to check out the site of their Corporate Headquarters which would be built across the West 57th and 58th Street that overlooked Central Park.
In the future the location would be the site of the Central Park Tower but this time round, the Avitus Financial Group planned to use this land for a massive complex with a mixture of entertainment, business, and residential space.
Not far away on the West 58th and 59th Street, another site was bought up by another group working for Esmond to start the creation of the Aeternus Curatio Group American Headquarters.
A construction company mostly lost to debt was bought up by Eddie and repurposed to serve as Esmond's construction company across the globe.
Rosie watched over the company with Archie helping to maintain the quality of the finished projects.
Because the two sites would be built by Immensus Construction and Design, people like Bryce Arrver didn't need to stress about anything after the sale of the sites went through.
At most the council of New York might ask about the design plans; Bryce couldn't care about those simple issues when his eyes were focused on greater goals.
"One should feel annoyed and frustrated at the world, Mark.
That's why we're standing here…
This will be the future site of our Group's public image and Headquarters but to be fair… this is all in preparation for the future.
You remembered when I told you the future is far beyond anything you could ever imagine, then let me ask you this… how can we help our Order without causing needless bloodshed?"
Bryce smiled while sipping on his coffee that tasted poorly, especially after being used to the produce from the Space.
For a short time, Bryce spent time in the Space to be indoctrinated with the future goals and plans of the Order as well displaying the might of their Father of Understanding.
At that point in time, Bryce made the decision to gain strength so his Lord who recognise him.
After being treated like a bug by Penelope and Ellea, Bryce wanted to gain authority within the Order so he would never be seen in such a poor state.
When he brought up his idea to the authority within the Space, Bryce found Mark in his care and a new team of trained Operatives who were at his beck and call.
"… Hold the power…" Mark understood his new Boss better than others because the man treated those around him with compassion even if hate boiled in his blood.
More than anything, Bryce wanted power and Mark understood this wasn't just within American Politics but much more that could offer him greater say.
Mark didn't want to see the man destroy himself, so he decided to mould the financial banker into a powerful leader who could made important choices within the Order.
.
"That is right… Power.
We need to gain Power and the greatest source of Power is the seat taken up by the Governor of New York."
Bryce grinned, while Mark understood his assignment and started connecting with his Virtual Profile Intelligence to send out new plans related to the end goal.
Without having to do anything but say his goal for the future, Bryce had turned the political opponents in New York aflame with information leaks, scandals and bribes all becoming public knowledge within hours and days.
It created a perfect opportunity for Bryce to step into the game of politics and create a solid foundation during turbulent times.
He wasn't the only one to be making major decision to step into a powerful position to extend their power within the Space.
Carter was fully aware of this, as was Igdra because of her connection to life and death that allowed her to understand emotions.
Carter being an Intermediate A.I Spirit with unimaginable power that extended beyond Earth and into the Solar System, he kept a close eye on the rowdy bunch of Operatives of the Space.
Nedric got informed immediately about the troubling few who thought themselves above the powers of Esmond and those around him.
One such case was a British man who felt like dethroning the Queen with his new strength but the security team with him immediately ended his life.
People like Mark were always prepared to reign in the ambitions of their 'Boss's if they went too far, but in other case they would end their lives completely.
"Who's the next Member we are supposed to support with this idiot's death…" An Agent leading a team of Templar and Assassin Operatives who were some of the very best the two Orders had to offer.
The Captain of the squad, Jed Albaquet was an Assassin spawned within the Spatial Ark Star World with his family he long thought perished.
At first, he refused to return to the field and start work again because he feared the enmity with the Templars would cause his family to perish again.
But after he figured out how close the cooperation would be between the two Order's and the power of the Space itself helped him and many others like him to return.
Jed was leading a team comprised of Templars and Assassins who gelled well together, including the comradery between everyone, especially in the case of the stupid Templar Officer Member previously in their care.
When he asked Jed and the others to help him take over the Spatial Ark Star World, the entire team didn't hesitate to shoot him dead on the spot before calling Headquarters.
Spud, Jed's Virtual Profile Intelligence wasn't happy with the outcome but quickly searched the database and found another person perfect for the task required of them in England.
'Alright, I found someone.
She's from Hackney, and also an Assassins Associate Member who provides internal information.
Taking the subway, she will arrive home in ten minutes.
I'll notify Florence Bardin for your arrival.' Spud, shaped to look like a potato with stick figure legs and arms and facial features, Jed felt most comfortable with the stupid appearance of his Virtual Profile Intelligence because he could relate with it.
He always called himself a stupid spud and ended up wanted his partner in battle to be just like his potato's ass.
The other members of the team found Spud to be the best example of the creativity available to each person when creating their personal Virtual Profile Intelligence but also a clear example of how bad Jed's creativity was when it came to design.
The 2D nature of Spud couldn't compare with the 3D nature of the other Virtual Profile Intelligences that served the other members of the team.
Listening to the commanding Virtual Profile Intelligence, Spud helped the team move fast to Florence's location.
Carter back home in the Space was glad to see everything working out, even with the slight hiccups, but his main concern still remained Igdraasilla who was sitting at the cabin with the three other girls.
They were working with Rosie and Archie to improve the state of the cabin into something proper and majestic but the two A.I Spirits made it clear that the cabin and remote design of the home had to remain.
Igdra planned to improve the nature of the materials used to create a renovated version of the Cabin Home, even when Carter had asked Igdra to stop her actions for now and wait for Esmond.
She couldn't care, nor could the others, who went through complete transformations that even Carter found unbelievable and somewhat perfect for the future.
