46 Lucy's Pride, Charlotte's determination
After killing those elders, Lucy turned her head at the director of the technical department.
“I hope you can handle the rest.”
Saying so, she left the room without even getting their response. As for the director, he already knew what to do. He pressed a button on his watch and made a call.
“Block all the news about the recent attack of vampires in Zone B. Zone B will be repaired by UMA. And also, send someone in my office to retrieve dead bodies.”
“Yes sir!”
After cutting off the call, he looked at the superheroes next to him and said.
“Thanks for coming so urgently.”
Gabriel shook his head and said “You are the director. It is our duty to protect you.”
“But director, who is this Brian? Why haven’t I heard about him at all? And, what about his relationship with Blood Queen?” Another superhero standing next to him asked with curiosity.
“Well, his identity will go out sooner or later. Liam, there are lots of things that you can learn using your authority but even your authority pales in comparison to you.”
When Liam heard those words, his eyes shrunk. As the second strongest superhero, he knew the limit of his authority. It could be said that except for the directors, he has every bit of authority to make changes or do anything.
“I understand your confusion. In fact, his authority is even higher than ours. And, we, directors under the guidance of three Supreme Leaders, took an oath to protect Brian even at the cost of war.”-(0)ᴠʟ.
“Of course, he doesn’t care about that and lives in his own apartment in Zone B. But, nothing has changed. He is someone whose authority could rival Supreme Leader if he wanted to. But unfortunately, he isn’t interested in those things.”
“He only joined UMA so that he can develop New Gods. In fact, if he had enough resources then New Gods would’ve been a part of a private company. You know how much that would affect the UMA, right?”
Liam nodded his head with a serious expression. Gabriel also had seriousness on his face. If New Gods become part of a private company then a new tyrant would be born in this world.
Even though Supreme Leaders have every authority to do anything, if they do something that breaks the regular law, then Directors can case the files against them and bring them down from the power.
Of course, in terms of power, Superheroes are the ones who have the public face. But, inside UMA, they are controlled by the directors and supreme leaders.
Of course, if one day they go on a berserk, then these leaders and directors won’t be able to do anything.
“Without New Gods, humanity doesn’t have a chance against them. Just imagine if two or three vampires whose strength is equal to her emerge in the Vampire Families. Our humanity will cease to exist.”
“But directors, from what I know the limit of the leveling system in New Gods is equal to us. So, how is this going to change much?” Liam asked interrupting the director.
Director sighed and said “That’s why we need him. He must be protected at all costs. Of course, now that we know that she is his wife, then we don’t have to worry much.”
“He has already provided the codes of New Gods 2.0. We are trying to implement the changes and improve them. It has been estimated that it will take a year. After that, even you two can join New Gods and improve.”
“And, you don’t have to start from level 0. In fact, you can start from your current strength and then continue to improve.” (O)ᴠʟ
Hearing his words, Liam and Gabriel was surprised. They didn’t expect this news to come out so soon.
………
(O)ᴠʟ Blood Queen directly left the office and went straight to her mansion. As soon as she reached there, she was greeted by Alisha.
“Did you check his situation?”
“Yes, Queen. He doesn’t have any injuries and Young Miss is also fine.” Alisha nodded her head and replied.
“What about that woman? Do you find her relationship with him?” Lucy asked. At this moment, there was a hint of coldness in her eyes.
Alisha hesitated for a moment before she finally gathered enough courage to speak.
“Queen, I am afraid but it seems like they have already formed a relationship. It’s not a married relationship but it is very close like dating.”
As she said that, she trembled from the cold aura coming out of Lucy.
It took a while for Lucy to calm down. She took a deep breath and asked.
“How did we miss her?”
“Queen, when we previously searched her, we only found friendship between them. And, you said that woman helped him a lot, so let’s not kill her.” Alisha had a hard time blaming Lucy for this.
In fact, Charlotte was already on their list to kill but due to her good nature, Lucy didn’t do anything against her. But, she didn’t expect that to grow as well.
“Queen, do you want me to make a move?” Alisha asked.
“No! We can’t make a move now. The only reason why we were able to make a move against those women is that their life and death didn’t matter much to him. But she has gone too close.”
“If we do anything now, he will easily find out and blame us.” Lucy shook her head and responded.
“But Queen, do we really not have any chance even with our strength?” Alisha wasn’t convinced that he would find out. After all, Brian didn’t find out anything till now.
Lucy shook her head and said “He didn’t find out because he didn’t want to. There is not a single thing that can be hidden from him. He can even predict where the next portal will open if he really wants to.”
“In fact, the latest technology to detect portal was created by him. From the outside world, he seemed like a normal person but he has control over Fifty Percent of every technology in this world.”
“He has a thirty percent share in Golden Wing Industries. He isn’t even a little poor than us. It’s just that he doesn’t care about wealth or anything else. If he wants, he can even buy UMA but as I said, he really doesn’t care.”
“His only goal is to get stronger. If we target her now, then he will find out, and then, my only hope will disappear.”
Hearing her words, Alisha was truly shocked. Some of this information like how many shares he had on Golden Wing Industries wasn’t even leaked to her.
“Then Queen, how are you going to succeed now?”
She was afraid that Lucy will get heartbroken once Brian rejects her. After all, he has Charlotte now.
But, at this moment Lucy had nothing but a mocking smile on her face.
“Is she even worthy to be his wife? I will show her what it means to be the wife of a Chosen One. She doesn’t have what it takes to be a wife of a chosen one.”
………..
Inside Brian’s apartment.
“Look like we need some repairs,” Charlotte commented while looking at the broken wall in front of her.
Brian shook his head and said, “I am planning on relocating.”
“Relocating?” Charlotte and Ely looked at him with surprise.
“I had a backup place to live in case this location gets exposed to others. So, I built a mansion in Zone C. From now on, we are going to live there.” Brian answered with a normal expression.
But, when they heard his words, both of their eyes widened.
“We are going to live in a mansion?”
“Daddy, are we really going to live in a mansion? How big is it? Does it have a large pool? How big is the garden? Does it have a swing? Can we also get a puppy?”
Hearing Ely’s demands, Brian suddenly felt tired. He took a deep breath and said.
“First, you need to complete two percent of that A.I. to make a demand. Second, you need to get ready for school. Third, you need to understand that we are moving there because of the danger we have been exposed to. Now, pack your things.”
Ely pouted but she didn’t make any drama. She quietly left her room while Charlotte asked in front of Brian. Brian raised his head and looked at her for a moment.
She bites her lips as it got harder to say but she finally asked.
“Is there a way for me to get stronger?”
When he heard her words, his eyes widened. He didn’t expect Charlotte to say such a thing. He couldn’t help but ask.
“You aren’t blaming yourself, are you? Because you know I would hate such a thing.”
Charlotte shook her head and said “I am not blaming myself but I don’t want to stay like this. You know we are already exposed. So, our trouble won’t be small the next time. So, can you help me?”
Brian stood up and raised her head.
“Who do you think I am? Being one of the smartest people on this planet, do you think I wouldn’t have a solution?”
“Let’s go to our new home and I will show you my new invention. Sort of new with old technology”
Hearing his words, Charlotte’s eyes widened. She gave him a big hug and a kiss while thinking.
‘It won’t be long before she comes knocking on our door. Just because she is strong now won’t make me discouraged. I will surpass her.
