"Lisa is trying to track who infiltrated her lab and stole the hard drive."Con looked at the group of them and nodded."As fascinating as that sounds, I don't think that's our priority now. What are we going to do about Horizon."Xavier groaned as he grumbled and the whole sound came out feeling messy.How many times would he say they should do nothing?Nothing could be done at a time like this. This sort of situation could easily be one that would leave the whole country devastated again, and apart from all this Con seemed to have forgotten that they still had problems they had not yet solved yet.That was still the problem of the earthquake that had struck both cities 10 years ago. Everyone knew he was somehow responsible for it and there was footage of Lisa's scan on that hard drive. Anyone who now possessed that hard drive could easily access those files and leak them to the general public.They would be a social uprising. Everyone would want his head. Secret organizations would
Jake stood in the room full of people and tried his best to understand what he was looking at.There would always be a sense of strangeness in things like this to him. He could tell that beneath the hoods the members of Horizon wore, faces lurked underneath. Real faces of real people that had joined themselves to this agency and who would not want their identity exposed.He could tell they had their reasons for doing that, but it also felt like a really stupid action to him. There was no way he would be associated with an organization like this and still want to keep it a secret, he would have made it public knowledge. The man he had met before had been the one who brought him all the information he now had on Horizon. The fact that the man who had gone ahead to initiate him was also just a member had made him settled on the fact that if he ever got the chance to fully meet those who owned Horizon, then he would ask them to take him in as one of them.Most of the elders that had been
Jake was introduced to a lady he had not seen when he had come in here.The members of the organization had put their hoods down for him to see their faces. He could already tell that they would never do so again.This would be a one-time thing and a one-time thing only. He really couldn't be bothered about all of that though. It wasn't like he knew most of their faces anyways.The world was a wide place and the people in it were even wider. The fact that he didn't know all of them didn't faze him. The faces that he did know though, the people who owned those faces surprised him. They were all high-profile billionaires and multi-billionaires. They were worldwide philanthropists and globally recognized business tycoons.These were the people that stood at the helm of his world, but seeing them act like timid little kids in his presence made him know that they had only just been lucky enough to graze a tip of the iceberg. The power Horizon possessed was one that could not be compare
Jane stared at the package in her hands and tried to process all that was happening."You say this is from his wife?"The delivery man in front of the mansion simply nodded his head and looked away. It would be hard to get anything from him so she didn't bother with trying to get anything from him.He didn't look like someone that would have the information she wanted and she wasn't underestimating him when she said it. He looked like a simple down to earth delivery man who might have received the package just so he would be tasked with the job of delivering it and thereby get his pay at the end of the day.And it was obvious from the way he looked at her that he recognized her and had not expectedly her presence here.It was common knowledge that she and Xavier were friends. The only thing the people didn't know about was the fact that there was also someone else in there who they should be more scared of than Xavier.She felt they were silly for being scared of Xavier just because h
Con looked at the tablet in his hands and tried to see where exactly the location he was being shown was. Xavier had encountered another problem with Lisa, she did something dangerous again without thinking of the consequences, and now her father had to solve the issue. There was a lot for him to do and lot more than he wanted to doAnyways, now that Lisa was out of the scene and Xavier was occupied with getting to her, there was space for him to carry out the research he had always wanted to. There was a surprising part of Lisa's discovery about her father and his files that they had all overlooked her discovering. There was much Xavier could do with the ice core but the problem remained the fact that he didn't know where the thing had come from.Lisa also wanted to know that and so did the rest of them, but what he suspected was that Xavier knew more than he was letting on. There was no reason for him to want to hide things from his daughter but Lisa was as inquisitive as anyone c
The Aedion was something Xavier had never seen in his life and one he wished he hadn't seen now that he had seen it.Lisa was still in her digital construct and with that came the knowledge that he had failed at trying to get her out of it.So far there was little to nothing that he could do for Lisa in whatever construct she had been trapped in and so far there was little he could do to help himself too.Con was already away on another one of his missions and this time he had refused to tell anyone what that mission was about.The little he had said was that he would be back and he had stood up and left.Aside from that, there was also the fact that his wife had delivered a package right to their doorstep.The lady Con had been married to while he was Derek Aer had delivered a package containing threats right to his doorstep and what was inside that package had been nothing more than a threat.Jane had been the one who brought it up and she had been scared at the moment. She was like
Glover city was the same as Jake had left it and he smiled as the plane landed.He was still yet to figure out where Adelaide had gone but he had a good idea. If the doctor had touched her then he would kill the doctor before making her suffer. His family businesses had probably been taken over by his asshole friends. They were all assholes but he would choose being the bigger asshole any day and any time than to be subject to their wickedness. After they had helped him locate the Aliyevs and he had failed, they had refused to offer him any more help after that.They had watched him try to locate the guy that had worked at Aubrey's company and who had slapped one of his bodyguards at the time.He still didn't have a clue as to where that person was up until this day, his memory had been damaged a bit after the initiation and now he had all these thoughts that weren't his floating through his mind. It annoyed him and disturbed him to be connected to people in this way. He wanted to h
Jane and Aubrey shared joint looks as Xavier went on with his work like nothing had happened. If it was ten years ago then he would have been the first person to go after his boss, riding his car into the darkness with guns, like a knight out to save a damsel in distress. Time had truly changed them but it was not surprise that it had changed them. Ten years ago they would have both gone after Con the minute they noticed he was missing. That was what had brought them to Orion city and after the collapse of the city and Con's disappearance, they had relented for a while, but they had never given up on him. They always kept hope in their hearts that they would find him, and they did. Xavier was probably just calm because he knew where Con was. Xavier raised his head up to meet the gazes of the two women staring at him. A slight smile spread on his face as he cocked an eyebrow up. "Why the glowering?" Jane peered at him through fine and delicate lashes. "You know where Con is d
