“Besides, boss, I don’t know the function of these stones. From any perspective, they don’t seem valuable at all.”In fact, Kyle had no idea what type of stones Nouel needed. For some reason, he hadn’t bothered to find out when Nouel didn’t explain anything about these stones.Nouel, not interested in small talk or explanations, posed a question to confirm. “Is this everything?”“Yes, I hired search services, even with advanced technology, these stones are no longer found on this continent. They might be on another continent far away, and those confirmed are in Antarctica—impossible locations to reach, and we don’t have suitable vehicles to cross continents.”“Really?” Nouel still seemed skeptical.Kyle nodded, then suggested, “If you want to make sure, I can show you.”“That’s troublesome, I don’t need it.” Nouel refused to do that, then he looked back at the pile of rocks. “Can your people help transport these to our vehicle?”“Of course.” Kyle immediately ordered his people to carr
Nouel began designing the blueprint for the implant chip he had previously recommended for production. He created everything spontaneously, as mentioned earlier; he had no intention of contributing to making the implant chip, his goal was merely to provide suggestions or ideas he thought of.At that moment, in his private lab, a holographic screen appeared, showing the process of creating the blueprint for the implant chip. The holographic screen clearly displayed all the circuitry models.This chip was made of highly durable silicon material resistant to all kinds of disturbances, including radiation, extreme temperatures, and high pressure. The chip functioned using a multi-layer security system consisting of three layers:Layer 1: Security code and algorithmsThe first layer consisted of highly complex security codes and algorithms challenging to decipher. These codes and algorithms were specifically designed to prevent hacking.Layer 2: Cyborg DNAThe second layer utilized the DNA
In the command room, all Wolf team members had already gathered. After Nouel contacted everyone to assemble in the Wolf team’s special room, both those inside the headquarters and those outside quickly gathered.Nouel began to speak, delivering some opening remarks. “For the past few days, we’ve had a lot of free time as our team is on a mission break. During this time, Drax has been working on a special assignment for me. Perhaps some of you know what he’s been up to. Today, the results of his work are in.”“We’ve obtained names that are likely sympathizers of the rebels, a total of five names. Team, this is something that falls within our duty and main goal. This team was formed to secure the city, especially against acts of terror and cybercrime. One of our tasks is also to prevent rebellion against the city government.”“I won’t ask, it’s a direct order from me. I want you to embark on a mission again, a secret and illegal mission just like before.”All Wolf team members seemed un
During the covert monitoring mission, Nouel, who didn’t actively participate, frequently visited the central headquarters to meet with Lucrezia and Veilus. He also spent more time in the training room, given the absence of assigned missions, facilitating the Wolf team members’ work.Nouel regularly checked the progress of chip implant manufacturing at NewTech’s production facility. This modern factory served as a hub for producing high-tech cybernetic technology, aiming to enhance the world of cybernetics. As the chief architect of the chip implant project, Nouel bore significant responsibility to ensure the security and quality of each produced device. He ensured that every production stage adhered to strict standards, from initial design to the integration process into the cyborgs.Maintaining the project’s integrity was crucial for Nouel. He continuously verified that no devices malfunctioned or suffered damage during production. Collaborating with the quality inspection team, he m
Drax confirmed, then added to his report. “Yes. And these people seem to be in a hurry to give something to the members. Oh, I almost forgot, after my system scanned these mysterious individuals, one of them has a body shape, height, weight, voice, and walking style similar to someone who led the attack on us at the NewTech Industries branch.”“Oh, I remember this person. He’s the one who escaped by jumping off the bridge.” Nouel recalled a man who had previously directly confronted him, unfortunately failing to defeat or bring down the individual.“Yes, Captain, that’s him,” Drax confirmed.Nouel nodded several times, understanding the current situation, then spoke to Drax. “Okay, that’s indeed evidence. But… what strong evidence confirms that they are sympathizers or rebel members?”“Sorry, Captain, but that’s all the information we’ve gathered until now.”Nouel wore an annoyed expression, then sat back in his chair. He muttered to himself, “Ah, damn, if it’s like this, we can’t iss
It was Lucrezia’s first time entering Nouel’s workspace, or one could say the lab, although that term wasn’t entirely accurate. The room housed not only devices for crafting and assembling but even manufacturing machines and other equipment. There were holographic blueprints, as well as devices and weapons ready for use.Compared to NewTech’s exhibitions, it might not seem luxurious, but from a futuristic perspective and in terms of technological production models, everything here excelled in comparison to what was available at NewTech, which could be considered ordinary in comparison to everything here.For some reason, Lucrezia perceived the room as much larger than it should be, the spaciousness of this apartment building shouldn’t have accommodated such a vast space. Upon taking a few steps into the workspace, her attention was drawn to Nouel’s creations.“I know you’re a creator, but… I didn’t expect you to have created so many electronics, weapons, and devices.”“Yeah, and so fa
As soon as the conversation ended, Lucrezia was already in front of Nouel, thrusting her sword. Nouel quickly dodged, avoiding the first sword, but Lucrezia attempted another strike. Nouel grabbed Lucrezia’s hand, causing the sword to miss. He then threw Lucrezia towards the flying knives, intending to attack her. As a result, Lucrezia was hit by her own knives and thrown several meters, rolling on the ground.The knives’ attack was quite potent. Although they didn’t injure her, the impact was strong. Lucrezia quickly stood up, ready to continue her assault, but Nouel was quicker, firing shots from his launcher.“Damn,” muttered Lucrezia. She deactivated her sword, intending to activate her shield, but it was too late. The blue light blast from the launcher sent her crashing into the room’s wall.Nouel placed his weapon on his back, then drew his plasma sword. Lucrezia hurried to her feet and shot flying knives towards Nouel. Naturally, he effortlessly deflected each knife, then leape
After tests and battles, Nouel and Lucrezia returned to the central room. Nouel suggested having dinner together, and Lucrezia gladly accepted. Currently, Nouel and Lucrezia were having dinner together.“From this moment on, you have to wear that armor,” Nouel ordered gently and casually after finishing his dinner.“Why? Honestly, I don’t want to wear it,” Lucrezia responded casually, still chewing her dinner.“What?” Nouel replied with displeasure. “I’ve worked hard to design and create that armor for you, and you don’t want to wear it? You’re so cruel.” Nouel grumbled, pretending to be hurt by Lucrezia’s words, as if the girl sitting in front of him didn’t appreciate his effort.Lucrezia smiled in response to Nouel’s reaction, placing her fork down and resting her chin. “I feel it’s an ace card, I shouldn’t use it unless at the right moment.”“Ah, that’s how it is. So, you don’t want to thank me?”“Do you need words? What should I do?”Nouel smiled meaningfully when responding to Lu
