Chapter 25 - Chapter 25: Potential Development in prowess

Somewhere at a big science facility in a big office room, two people could be seen seated facing each other.

The one seated at the office chair was a middle aged man with neat white hair, blue eyes and was wearing a clean white lab coat that looked like it had been bought that very day. He was also wearing spectacles.

The other one seated opposite him was a beautiful woman with short purple hair that reached her shoulders and matching eyes. She was wearing a long black coat and black pants.

The woman was the first to open her mouth and asked, "Were you able to find out what that small ball was?"

The middle aged man shook his head and spoke, "No, I could not find any evidence or its origins, however, I did find something interesting"

The man spoke the last sentence with an unpredictable smile on his face, he looked like a demon who had just found the secret to take over the world.

"And what might that be?" The woman was a little disappointed to hear that he could not find what she really was after, but, that didn't stop her from being curious of the interesting thing he had discovered.

"When we could not find some evidence on what you wanted, we tried to do some tests on the small ball and we discovered something big that could change the world" The scientist pushed his spectacles up a little and they seemed to glow making him look cool and mysterious.

But the woman did not look moved and continued to look at him with a look that seemed to say 'Don't sh*t with my time'.

"Come, let me show you" The middle aged scientist rose from his chair and walked out of the room followed by the woman.

They walked past many men and women wearing white coats similar to middle aged man's who greeted the two with slight bows.

After walking for a few minutes, they finally arrived in front of a big metal door and entered.

The big room was bigger than any middle class hospital the lady had seen, but, she did not show any reaction whatsoever. She continued with her poker face.

In the room, there wasn't much, only a small humanoid robot standing in the middle. It was standing straight without any movement.

"What's that?" The woman asked as she looked at the robot with curiosity.

The scientist was satisfied seeing the curiosity on the woman's face. He then raised his spectacles with one finger and spoke with pride:

"The first step of human evolution"

"OH?" The woman was curious as to what the robot could do.

"We call him WO4577" The middle aged scientist started to explain"At first, we were trying to develop a robot that could mimic not only the human speech way, but also, their way of thinking and their actions on the request of General Galdo from the military dpd. We wanted something that could help fight our wars and reduce casualties on our side during the dark hours, however, we could not find a suitable power source and lacked the technology needed.

The world has yet to have such technology, but,"The Middle aged man smiled a little and looked at the woman" After you brought us the heavenly stone, our problems were solved, both the energy insufficiency and the needed tech"

The middle aged scientist then walked to a red button and pressed it.

Whiii!

A mechanical sound resounded in the entire room, red lights on the walls flashing. The entire place was now dyed red because of the lights red illumination.

The woman was astounded and looked forward to whatever was going to be demonstrated. Excitement filled her entire being as she once again looked at the robot.

"WTF!"The woman could not help but be surprised by what she was seeing.

The robot which was painted white a few minutes ago was now covered with black scales and a strange purple energy.

It's eyes were blood red looking as if alive as they roamed around.

But, that's not what shocked her the most

The robot actually spoke.

"I will kill that bastard!" The robot spoke with a voice filled with anger"and the puny humans who dare use my remains for their useless research"

The woman was beyond shocked as her jaw hanged down in disbelief. The robot was actually talking and expressing the emotion of anger.

'Isn't this dangerous?'she thought. If something that has freedom of emotion like this was to be released to the world, wouldn't it destroy it or cause trouble.

What if it gets a virus infection and start planning world dominating on its own?

Something that has freedom of emotion like this is not a good tool to use. Its system might even be hacked by the enemy and make it destroy them instead.

'Something like this is dangerous 'The woman thought as she looked at the robot which was now walking to the glass that trapped it.

BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!

The robot started punching the glass with all its might, however, the glass did not even crack once.

The woman looked at the robot which no longer looked like a robot any more with a puzzled expression. Its eyes contained hatred and anger that she had never seen before.

Click!

The middle aged man pressed the button he had pressed on before and the light in the robot's eyes started to dim and dim until, they turned black.

It stopped moving and stood like a statue.

"If we find more of those small balls, our country will be the strongest and dominat..."

Before the middle aged scientist could finish his words about his future plans, the woman interrupted him:

"That thing is too risky" the woman turned and looked at him straight in the eyes "I think you should return the stone to me"

"What?" The middle aged scientist could not help but be surprised by the woman's words. He was going to make something that could possibly shake the power balance in the world to their favor and this woman suddenly wants in back.

"I'm afraid I cannot do that" The scientist spoke with a resolute gaze on the woman. He had invested too much resources in this project to just cancel it like that.

And to make it worse, he had bragged to his competitors about his world changing project and also told some high powers of the country about it.

Now it was not only his pride on the line but also his life along with this lab. If the high powers hear that he canceled it after giving him a lot of money and other things, they would surely plan a painful death for him and his family.

Politicians are just too cruel

The woman seeing the look on the middle aged man's face knew that she had made a mistake by giving the small stone to them.

Sigh

The woman sighed and spoke" Just make sure it does not cause trouble"

After that, the woman left the room and went outside the facility leaving the scientist alone in the room.

"I will"

*******************

"Detective Grace!"

As soon as the woman stepped out of the facility door, she heard someone calling her and looked at her. It was a tall woman with green hair and green eyes wearing a police uniform.

"What's wrong Lessy?" She asked the woman seeing the look of panic on her face.

"The R.T.O has made a move in City W"

"What!!" Swipper Grace looked at the woman addressed as Lessy with shock apparent in her eyes.

"I think they are planning something thus have made their presence known" Lessy spoke with a serious expression.

Swipper Grace regained her posture and started walking to her car which was a few meters from where they were.

"Let's go" Grace spoke with seriousness "Wether they are planning something or not, it's our duty to protect the people"

"Yes si....i mean maam" Lessy stuttered with her words and followed the detective like a good subordinate she was.

************************

Somewhere in a street bustling with people going on about their daily lives, two young people could be seen walking amidst the crowd.

One of them was a woman with short, brown hair that shined under the sunlight, her eyes were red that one would surely confuse them for a vampire's. She was about 1.25 meters tall and had a great figure that most male eyes were sneakily glancing at with sinful desire.

The other one was a boy about 16-17 years. He had short silver hair that reflected on the sunlight and eyes that were like moons as they shone with a silver hue. His silhouette was only a little bit taller that the woman beside him. He was wearing casual clothes, just a plane white shirt and black jeans, nothing special, but, despite that, every lady he came across giggled with red faces and some even changed their ways of walking making it more seductive to get his attention.

But, alas, the guy did not even look at them and continued walking as if they were nothing but air.

The girls were of course disappointed but, they only sighed thinking, 'He is in a world of his own and probably has many millionaire heiresses on his tail wishing to lick his Lil brother'

Mike looked at Sarah who was walking a little bit distance from him and spoke, "We won't get anywhere if you walk like that"

Sarah instantly walked faster and caught up to him and apologized looking at the ground"Sorry"

Mike nodded his head and looked ahead. They were currently headed to Rimon's work place to kidnap him on Sarah's request.

Sarah called the driver Angela had referred her to but Mike's only response when he saw the car was:

"Trash"

She was surprised by his comment since the car was luxurious, but, in the end, he was the one who had the choice and now, here they were, walking on foot.

************************

"Are you sure this is the right place sister?"

"Yes, I'm sure"

The two Javenstine sisters stood before a building with Cassie wearing a confused expression.

"Let's go" Yuweh walked into the building and Cassie followed.

The two went to the reception and stated the name of the person they were looking for, however, there was no such name in the record book or whatever it is called.

Yuweh saw that there was no name she wanted but, she did not give up"What about a handsome young man with beautiful silver hair, a handsome face and be..."

She wanted to give his description but, the receptionist already had already caught up and stopped Yuweh from speaking further:

" His name is Mike D-Dawson and he is at the highest floor in the third room at the left"

"Thank you" Yuweh thanked the receptionist and started walking to the elevator.

Cassie stood there looking at her younger sister with a dumbfounded expression trying to digest what she had just heard.

'She just called a man handsome'

Cassie knew that after what Adam had done to her sister, Yuweh started distancing herself from guys and only befriended those of the same gender as her, but now, she was actually taking the initiative trying to find a guy.

Just what the hell happened!?

"Sister, are you coming"

"Huh?, Y-Yes" Cassie woke up from her thoughts and ran to her sister.

Ding!

The elevator arrived at the highest floor and the two exited and walked to the third door as instructed by the receptionist.

Cassie could not help but look at her sister's smiling face with a confused expression.

She wondered how she could have such a smile after what had happened to her at such a young age. If it were her, she knew that she would have committed suicide from the pain but, her sister was strong and was now smiling brightly enough to put the sun itself to shame.

"This is it" Yuweh starred at the door for a few seconds taking breaths as if a warrior about to go to battle, but, this wasn't battle

It was just a simple thing like knocking on the door and meet a person.

"Now" She then raised her hand and knocked on the door.

"...."
