Chapter 75"How did it go?" a deep monotonous voice asked, sounding from someone sitting in darkness, the darkness making sure to hide almost everything about him other than that the voice sounded like a male. Flinch!The recipients of the voice when they heard it flinched, because of the authority of the person asking and because they knew that what he was asking for had complications. There was silence for about a minute in the room."It was a bust sir, the mission failed." one managed to answer. There were three individuals kneeling In from of the person who had asked the question. All were dressed in weird clothings that looked like animal skill, but the notable thing about them was that they were all wearing animal faces as masks. The one with the pig animal mask was the one that answered. The mysterious person asking exhaled sharply, causing them all to tremble out of fear."But but we were able to make some observations" the boar masked spoke up immediately in a bid to save t
Chapter 76Maverick woke up the following morning and he couldn't just shake off the weird feeling he was having. 'Come find us?' he kept repeating in his head trying to understand what it meant and why he was even thinking about it. "Another weird dream" he sighs and then got out of bed to take his bath. "I'll find answers in the portal" he repeated again, finding some truth in the statement.'I really need answers, perhaps I should enter the portal and find out.''System, what do you think?' he asked the system.""I'd discourage it. The portal is a harsh place for any human to live in. You'd find Nothing but monsters there, and what's the guarantee you can get out if you eventually get it."" After a slight pause, the system replied. And its response completely discouraged Maverick."You are right. I shouldn't jump head first to my own death" Maverick concluded. After taking his bath, he came out of his room and to the common room in the bureau where some other talenteds were ga
Chapter 77'Come find the truth''Come find the truth''Come find the truth'The voices kept echoing on and on in Maverick's head as he slept. So much that it was impossible to tell if it was in his dream or if it was in reality. Maverick turned his head to the side continuously with his eyes shut harder than normal as he tried to sleep more comfortably subconsciously.RING!His phone rang and the sound and vibration of the ringing phone caused him to wake up. It took a second to realize just what was happening and then he finally remembered.'oh yes, I currently in the vehicle taking me home. I somehow fell asleep and… shit my phone is ringing.'He quickly picked up his phone and answered the call before the call timed out. "Hello, this is Maverick." He said over the phone."hello Maverick, it's be Talia. I heard what happened with Dominus are you okay?" Talia who was calling, said. Her tone was laced with worry and maverick could actually tell that she genuinely cared about him. Bu
Chapter 78Natasha when she arrived at the facility for portal detection she asked him any new portals have opened up but they told her there have been none."What do you mean none?" she asked again, refusing to believe their answers. "There have been no new portals in this region under the last hour. And all other portals have people there regulating it. So no-one goes in without authorization from here." The official in charge there answered her. "Check again." she insisted, now angry. "We have, and nothing have changed" the person replied her again. Natasha stormed out of the facility very anger and frustrated that she has been unable to find Maverick so far.She took out her phone and immediately called someone. "Brian, anything yet?" she asked. "Nothing yet. I'm in his house presently and there's nothing out of place." Brian answered her. "Check properly, there must be something." she said."Nothing here, although he left his phone behind and it looks like he left his room
Chapter 79""Maverick, what are you doing?""""Maverick, turn back now!""""Do not enter that portal, Maverick. You don't know what you are doing"""MAVERICK!!!"The system kept hammering in Maverick's head with each step he took towards the portal. But Maverick was resolute, he just kept walking ahead, not listening to the system in his head, until he finally walked through the portal and into the other world.Maverick was met with a really bright light the moment he entered, from what looked like the sun over there. He shielded his eyes and face with his left arm so he wouldn't go blind. However, he was still on alert, because at the moment, he was in a strange land, a portal and portals were always dangerous. Moments later, he acclimated to the bright light and was able to see properly again. He saw that he was somewhere like a beach, he was standing on sharp sand and the sea was just ahead of him. The scenery almost looked like a regular beach back on earth, but it was cold for
CHAPTER 80Maverick was still confused as to what was going on in the underground layer of the place he currently was. Despite his confusion, he was still on alert so that he would not be caught off guard. The place began rumbling again, now shaking more than it was when he was at the surface of the island.‘Just what is happening?’ He asked himself incessantly, like he could somehow provide answers to the question himself. But he could only think of two things; the growing ice spikes or monsters coming.His suspicions were affirmed when multiple ice protrusions emerged from the ground just beneath his feet. He could not fly like before since he was underground and there was no room above for him to do that. So he just had to run away as quickly as he could to avoid being impaled from the ground. Luckily, he was S class and was faster than the spikes.Just as the rumbling continued he began hearing the sound of monsters approaching his location, to his greatest surprise. ‘Monsters too
Chapter 81Maverick was perplexed at what he was seeing. Through the hole he had created on the ground he could see flesh, pulsating flesh. It was bruised and bleeding due to the impact of the punch he had inflicted on the ground. Whilst he stood there trying to make sense of what he was seeing, realisation hit him."...don't tell me there is a giant monster living underneath the island. Or wait, this entire island is alive?"He looked around and sideways, trying to look at everything with a different light.'This will explain why the whole place looks so weird, why something I don't know keeps herding the monsters my way and how I'm always attacked by those ice spikes.' Maverick gritted his teeth as he thought of what to do next.Just then, he heard the subtle growl of the monster and then he heard more monsters coming his way again."Seems it won't let me go now that I know about this."Maverick looked at the hole again and then used the system to learn the stats of the monster.M
Chapter 82ONE MONTH LATER.-International conference for the international talented meeting-It was finally the slated day for the international bureau meeting and all talented bureaus in the world who agreed to the summit were to gather at the conference centre for the meeting. The conference centre is designated to be in one of the non combat peace regions, so there would be no conflict when it comes to territory dominance. A notable information about the region was that there has been no portal opening in that location yet. Different planes, jets and helicopters kept coming and going as they conveyed representatives from each country to be in attendance. It was 11am in the morning when the chief director's plane for Maverick's country arrived. When it touched down, there were already escorts and officials waiting to welcome them. His plane came with two more military grade helicopters as contingency transport should anything happen to the plane.The chief director alighted fro
