278 The Cure (1/2)
Keitaro looked at the sample of the virus he had received using a microscope it was fascinating to look at them, they remained completely inactive until they were put into live host, upon introduction they multiplied like crazy not only that they seemed to hijack the immune system of the host body before turning it against the host it was really fascinating not only that the resilience showed in them was otherworldly no matter how much you heat or freeze or the use of UV rays on them they survived as if it was as if a virus of Tardigrade, it was truly fascinating, but deadly as well, it had been a month since the entire incident with the 'We want Ubria' terrorist it happened during the New Year party where member of the group hit ten of the most popular cities in the world as people prepared for the New Year celebration they simply destroyed vials containing the virus while shouting at the top of their lungs about wanting about freedom and what not at first no one paid any attention to them then it happened thousands fee sick within a day and it spread at an incredible rate to the point various countries were quarantined it was a good thing that his family had a separate island where they were staying and last he heard that it was under lock as such they will be safe.
His thoughts went back to those so called freedom fighters who pulled the stunt they were nothing but terrorist after all if you go and attack another country who is not even related with your issue in the name of freedom then the simple thing they would get will be getting is being declared as terrorists and actively being hunted down the only word he had for them was ”Idiots! Colossal Idiots!”
As he studied the virus his head throbbed in pain, 'Oh how I wished I could have a cup of coffee instead of getting sweaty and whatnot inside this hazmat, but the more I think about it, it puzzles how me how in nine heavens did some run of the mill terrorist create something without some form of serious backing. But enough of wasting time I have to find a cure for it and soon it is slowly turning into a pandemic as over 50 million have died already.'
A crackle of microphone came to his ear as he listened to the person from the other side, ”Keitaro get out of that damn suit and come to the recreation room ASAP something is going on.”
Keitaro did not need to be told twice as he left the room in order to get out of the suit he was forced to wear, series of decontamination process later he arrived at the decontamination room as he spoke, ”What up Lu what happened?”
Lu pulled a chair for Keitaro to seat every member of their team which had been assembled by WHO was present here working 24X7 trying to make a cure, each of them world renowned for their work in the said field as the leader of their operations Dr. Malcolm spoke, ”A few hours ago a cure was announced to have been created by a joint venture of a few top of the line pharmaceutical companies in the world, they are announcing it now.”
A person went up on the stage seeing him Keitaro's eyes widen, 'What is the moronic big brother of mine doing there along with my ex-parents.'
The press conference went on and on as they boasted about the cure and what not Kazuyuki even shed some tears about how he was distraught by their suffering and what not they even stated that the cure has already been shipped off to various nations and the inoculation would begin.
The entire press conference cried with joy of happiness as their name were cheered as the disease had already claimed over 50 million people's lives, even some of the scientist working on it cheered in happiness as Malcolm spoke his voice full of praise.
”Look here gentleman because of them at last the people are safe not only that a few hours from now on the disease will be cured and we will leave the past filled with such pain full experience as nothing but nightmare.”
Everyone except Keitaro nodded at that, his mind was running at 1000 miles per hour, he was astonished at seeing how quickly they synthesized the cure not only that when did they have time to make so many vials of it, there has to be a catch his ex-family did nothing out any form of profit and to do suddenly so fast an idea appeared in his mind but he dare not to think about it, as it was something only a psychopath can think off, as he watched the press conference his breath hitched, 'No it cannot be, Yukari's looked down for a second when she said they had accidently stumbled upon the cure, Kazuyuki squinted his eyes for a brief second when he said 'even if we were caught unprepared because of sudden…' , no it cannot be they often did that when they lied, no it cannot be..'
A warning once given by his grandparents came to his mind, 'Kei, be careful around them the bastard can do anything and everything to reach his goal', the smug and satisfied smile on Toyoharu's lips made him want to throw up, lately he had this epiphany that Sabrina's death all those years ago might have been there doing but he had no proof regarding it neither could Beatrix find any and it was not simple to blame a countries Vice-Prime Minister like that no not Vice-Prime Minister but the current Prime-Minister since the enclosure of his daughter's infidelity the previous Prime Minister who used to be Kazuyuki's father-in-law committed suicide Toyoharu took charge until the new one was elected but the sudden incident caused him to be placed as the leader of his nation.
