68 Episode 9: Source of Arnold Power! TES Squad! (1/2)

The upper-most-echelon is known to the world as the council of Supremes”

The moment Arnold mentioned the Council of supreme, an ancient expression took place on Feng's previous serious face.

The serious Feng became more serious!

Dracula operated his mind and activated the voice recorded, installed in his mechanical brain. Because information related to the Supreme was scarce. His mechanical eyes glowed with a dark glint.

Feng and Dracula, both knew about the Council of Supreme. Everyone in this world did. The five peoples with the most powerful Mecha in the entire world were none other than the members of the Council of Supremes. They were also the founder or somehow related to the founders of the United World Government!

Arnold was impressed by himself after seeing their expression. 'What a great storyteller I am' Arnold thought pleased by himself, as he exposed his glorious past in the best way possible(Covering up all the sad part).

He continued,

”Of course, each of the members were carefully chosen after going through a dozen of screening and by the recommendation of those in the upper echelons. At least a mission competition rate of 90%+ and hidden quirks was needed. Along with that, a record clear of any criminal activities. I was lucky enough to be one out of those fourteen people. During the training, we faced life and death situations. But all of us managed to make it out alive.

”Together, we faced life and death situations. So, a special kind of bond was developed between us. At the end of the training, we found out that we needed to undergo a surgery to obtain a power unknown to man. A surgery that will increase our strength beyond the human norm. A scientist, someone whose name I cannot say, created this human modification method.

”Undergoing bodily modification was also the most important and required qualification to join the squad.

”After all, the fourteen of us were selected for the sole purpose of completing deadly and impossible to complete mission.

”Hence, the upper-echelon believed that the power obtained after bodily modification will be the best solution to face off against the SSS-level missions.

”The fourteen of us naturally underwent the human modification surgery. As one less member will cause the chances of death to increase, while completing SSS-level mission. No one wanted to betray their own brother and sister in life and death.

”I don't know whether our gene got mixed with the genes of unknown animals or aliens. But I do know, that after the surgery each of us gained a single unique ability.

Arnold finished explaining the reason to his inhumane strength, Arnold stood still after reminiscing about his past, while gazing at the silver moon.

He added the last line to impress the youngsters and prove his worth. He wanted Feng Mei to know that in the apocalypse he won't only be carrying burdens on his back to a safe-zone.

”No wonder why you accepted to accompany us to the Flamingo Mall without flinching even once. You had a trump card!” The serious Feng said to Arnold. He nodded his head, acting like a detective.

”Though, your past sounds like a tale right out of fiction.” The serious Feng was captivated by Arnold. He loved Arnold story!

Feng nature of being a hardcore Otaku didn't change. Arnold past sounded like a sci-fi Hollywood movie!

”Haha, isn't it. But this world has also changed to an apocalyptic world, something found in movies” Arnold replied, feeling proud of his past.
