"With this our agreement has been officially formalized," Aron stated as he signed his name on the second contract.Aron seemed happy, the same could be said for Alexander, but he was having another thought in his mind as he had experienced an odd sensation, as if something had briefly embraced him when he finished signing the contract.The sensation that Alexander felt was not unfounded. To those with the ability to perceive magic, a luminous golden aura would have been visible, enfolding and permeating Alexander the instant he concluded his final signature.The radiant glow was a result of the runic contract, which had been established to keep a watchful eye on Alexander and alert the other party should he ever violate any of its terms.Aron had also experienced the same illumination, but being the enforcer, he had the ability to annul the contract on his end, leaving only the one on Alexander still in effect."I am curious, Aron," Alexander asked as he shook his hand, "why enter in
The next day, Aron logged out of the virtual reality feeling refreshed. He completed his daily quest before cleaning himself up and preparing for his meeting with Sarah. After double-checking that he was fully prepared, he grabbed his phone and watch and headed where his car, driver and bodyguard was, ready to take him to the company."Good morning," Aron greeted Donald."Morning," Donald greeted back as he opened the car door for Aron to get in, and then closed it behind him.He then took a seat in the front of the car before the driver started the engine and they began their journey to GAIA technology......Rina Rothchild's Manor.Rina could be seen sitting inside her office.It has been three days since she met and had a talk with Aron who had given him Ava.Ava was still decrypting the encrypted backed up data and still had 4 more days before she completed this process.Despite Ava's ongoing work with decrypting the data, Rina still had plenty to do. Ava was actively intercepting
Next day.In the morning as he was doing his daily quest which had become a habit for him and he was not doing it to just complete the quest he received a phone call.He paused his activity and retrieved his phone to discover that his friend Felix was on the other end of the line. Without hesitation, he answered the call.After placing the phone to his ear, he greeted Felix with a simple "Hello"."How are you doing?" inquired Felix, addressing Aron."I'm doing well, how about yourself?" replied Aron."I'm doing good too," echoed Felix."Why did you call me?" Aron inquired immediately after their exchange of greetings."What? Am I not allowed to call my friend anymore?" Felix asked, feigning offense at Aron's question."Don't play dumb, you know exactly why I asked. Why are you calling me in the morning when you're supposed to be at work? Do you want me to report you to Sarah?" Aron teased Felix, with a hint of humor in his tone."I am working right now, actually. Sarah selected me as
3 Days later.Rina Rothchilds mansion.Rina arrived at her work room earlier than she typically did as today marked the final day for Ava to finally complete the task of decrypting and analyzing the encrypted data that had been backed up."Ava, is it done?" She asked, as she was eager to find out the identity of the person who had betrayed her and start the process of cleaning up.{A few more hours Rina.} Ava replied back softly while showing a makeshift progress bar on her computer screen to indicate the expected completion time and ease Rina's anxiety."Okay," Rina said, as she sat down on her chair, her eyes glued to the screen, waiting for the completion of the task. She felt a mix of anticipation and nervousness, hoping that everything would go as planned and they could access the crucial data she needed....…."So, you guys are leaving for Eden today?" Aron asked Felix, who was on the other end of the phone."Yes," Felix explained his reasoning over the phone to Aron. "We need t
Upon reading several individuals profiles on the list, he ultimately deduced that it would take him a couple of months to thoroughly read every profile in its entirety.Therefore, he resolved to simplify the list, but for that, he had to wait for Nova to complete the list which continued to expand during the half-hour that he spent reading through some of the profiles.He patiently waited and waited, but time seemed to pass sluggishly, and before he knew it, an hour had elapsed, followed by two, and then three.Realizing that it would take longer than anticipated, he resolved to utilize his time productively and resumed practicing his runes to prevent wasting his time idly.A few hours later, still going.One day later, Finally it was done.{Sir, the list is now complete,} Nova informed Aron, who had just finished activating a rune."Why did it take that long?" Aron asked, as he was quite surprised that It took that long despite her using a quantum computer for the task.{Sir, you may
1 hour later.It took them nearly an hour to travel from their hotel to the city of Cambridge, and they arrived there with just thirty minutes to spare before midnight.Upon arrival in the city, Aron directed the driver to drop him off at the University Arms Hotel, which was conveniently located in close proximity to both Cambridge University and the surrounding community."We have arrived, sir," the driver informed him."Thank you. And please find a place to rest as I won't be returning until morning before we head back," Aron said, as he handed the driver a thousand-dollar to spend for his rest during the waiting period.After getting out of the car, he promptly started walking towards the community located outside the University of Cambridge.As Aron approached the community, he looked for a secluded location and the moment he discovered one he immediately entered.Upon entering the secluded spot, Aron uttered the word "STEALTH," activating a rune of concealment that rendered him i
"One option could be giving it to him in installments," suggested one of the team members."Agreed, we could use that approach. It will not only keep us in the dictator's good graces but also motivate him to expedite our acquisition by wanting more payments. This seems like the best option," said Felix, nodding in approval."So, are we planning to inform him that for every telecommunication company we acquire, we'll be giving him 5 million dollars in installments? By the end of the process, we would have spent a total of 30 million dollars in bribes, including the initial 10 million we plan to offer at the meeting next week," Berry asked Felix, seeking his opinion."Yes, that should work. There are only four telecommunication companies in the country," Felix agreed."Now, let's discuss the approach for bringing up the matter without upsetting him. We need to be precise and careful in our wording throughout the entire meeting," Felix suggested."Agreed," Barry said, "We don't want to c
Terry entered Rina's office a few minutes after Chloe left to call him."Take a seat," Rina directed Terry as she motioned towards a nearby chair, her attention still fixed on the computer screen before her.Terry complied silently, settling into the chair as directed. However, as several minutes ticked by without any communication from Rina, and with her attention still riveted on the computer screen, Terry began to feel increasingly anxious.For Terry, the situation felt like the calm before the storm - an unsettling and ominous stillness that hinted at impending chaos or turbulence.However, the uneasy silence did not last much longer. Rina abruptly rose from her seat and walked over to the printer to retrieve some papers that had just finished printing. She then went and sat down across from Terry."Alright Terry, I've received a highly troubling report that you've been informing my brother about everything I do. What do you have to say about this?" Rina asked, her tone serious an
