88 Help Her! (1/2)

Owain was sure everything was a nightmare. There is no way a slum insect can be responsible for the present situation.

Is it even possible for a slum insect to influence someone like the chairman of governing council?

Owain became more and more confident in his thoughts.

BANG

A heavy kick on his stomach brought him back to his senses. The dose of pain made him doubt his thoughts

”You are fired,” Floyd coldly said,”All your decisions are to be reverted back and you will sign the orders.”

What?!

Owain felt like a bucket of cold water has dropped on him. If he reverted his decisions then he will earn the wrath of officials to whose children he has given admission.

He could understand if the decision against zed was changed but now all decisions? This will result in serious damage to him especially now that he was fired. After all, how can the influential officials handle the slight of their children's admission being canceled?

”Don't even think you can leave the premises without carrying out my orders,” Floyd continued,”You will be signing a nondisclosure agreement with the academy before you leave. Of course, you can complain about me to authorities if you wish.”

Owain gritted his teeth. How can he not know that the powerful always escape the clutches of laws?

”Zed! Everything is his fault!” Owain's heart was full of resentment.

------------

Evening.

Zed returned to Dream Rise House after his trip from thrill park. Felicity has made sure to give him multiple rides of Hell Coaster before letting him go.

[[Sir, how was your day?]] Claudia asked as zed washed his face on a washbasin.

”You already know the answer,” Zed replied with a sigh. A droid nearby gave him a towel to wipe out his face.

After freshening up, he directly went to the bedroom and lied down on his bed.

[[Lady Felicity had fun so, in turn, this should make you glad given your relationship with her. Thus I assume you had a great day.]] Claudia said.

”.....” Zed didn't know whether Claudia was joking with him or being serious. He didn't say anything and instead just closed his eyes.

[[There are two bad news.]] Claudia mentioned after a minute. A virtual screen appeared above the bed.

Zed didn't open his eyes as he said, ”No good news to leave a sweet aftertaste?”

[[I am afraid not]] Claudia said.

”Just tell me what they are,” The virtual screen showed the details on the two news but he was in no mood to read.

[[Carole has sent you a message on postponing the date for an indefinite time.]]

”What?!” Zed opened his eyes wide in surprise.For him, it was truly a bad news. In his Kiba form, he has spent many efforts to make Carole agree.

Carole was impressed by his style so she herself chose the time and location for their date. There were around 15 days remaining before they meet but now she was postponing it?

”Did she specified her reasons?” Zed was sure she wasn't the type to go back on her words. If she didn't wish to go out with him, then she would have declined in the first place.

[[Her message said she will be occupied with tasks at white angel corporation. She didn't give the details.]]

”Ah!” Zed actually understood now. He knew Hank was planning to launch an attack on Sky Fiend Group so the entire corporation should be busy with preparations.

The confrontation will require a lot of time and resources along with other arrangements

As a high ranking office bearer, Carole would have many tasks to handle.He understood why she didn't specify the details in her message since he had a fallout with Hank weeks ago.

[[Sir, will you like for me to warn her about the dangers of Sky Fiend Group?]] Claudia asked. She was aware why he refused to agree with Hank's proposal of teaming up to attack Sky Fiend Group.

”No need since was there when I refused Hank's proposal ” Zed shook his head, ”She should already have an idea about the dangers involved but yet she is going along with Hank. This clears her stand.”

There are always risks when the stakes are high. Carole would obviously know such a basic fact.

She has made her choice and he didn't wish to interfere. If she died, then she can only blame herself. While he truly wishes to spend time with her, he wouldn't go out to help her at his own cost.

He doesn't mind doing charity when he is in good mood and has nothing to lose but otherwise, he wasn't the type to help others for free.

[[I understand.]]

”Second bad news?” Zed closed his eyes again.

[[The main investigation team will be arriving in three weeks.]]

”We already expected them to arrive sooner or later so what is bad in it?” Zed asked.

[[An encrypted message from Morgan's communication states that they are going to be prepared.]]

”Prepared for what exactly?” Zed asked.

[[ Prepared to survive the destruction from the golden lightning phenomenon.]]

The world government knew anyone affected by the shock waves from golden lightning will turn into nothingness.Death was a guaranteed outcome so no high ranking investigator would truly wish to help in the investigation.

To counter this, the government has been preparing equipment which can help the investigation team survive.

”That is an unpleasant news,” Zed said with a frown,” I guess this explains why the main investigation team is delayed for another three weeks.”

The allure of Cosmic Spark was almost impossible to resist. The lust for power was a trait among all races.

Every creature desire more power than the other for it means a higher standing in society along with the gain in lifespan.
