The God Virus

"We will conclude by saying that then what all of you see happened, a phone company suddenly appeared out of nowhere which was as technologically advanced as we were, so our alliance finally had no choice other than releasing our most advanced phones as otherwise, we would've faced bankruptcy." he concluded by saying this.

Seeing everyone was a little amazed by his idea while some were deep in thought he smiled obviously very proud of his idea and then he asked "So, what does everyone think about my idea? is it good enough?"

"Let us think about it for a while before talking." The US phone company's CEO said as quietness once again became dominant inside the meeting conference room.

Ten minutes later the silence was broken by the same US Company's CEO as he said "Well, even though there are some problems with the plan but as that's probably the best plan to equal the scales I say that we use it after some more working on the plan. What does everyone else think?"

Hearing the US Company's CEO agree, other CEO's defensive barriers broke as they also thought it was a good idea and probably they couldn't find a better one in a short period of time, so they started agreeing.

The CEO from Korea said, "I agree."

The CEO from China replied, "I feel some holes exist in the plan and I don't think people will buy it, so no."

The CEO from Finland replied, "I think it's a good idea, let's use it."

A CEO which was from England also said "I believe this is the best solution to our problem."

"I agree too."

"Me too."

"I don't know... the plan feels a little off.

"Couldn't think of a better solution."

"Let's just use it."

And just like that, almost eighty percent of the people present in the alliance agreed to the plan, while the twenty percent remaining had not agreed, either because they were doubtful of the plan, rejected it completely, or didn't state their opinion at all.

So as most of the people present voted as positive and agreed to the plan, they decided to use that plan, of course after some polishing, so at least some of the holes disappear.

After they had finally decided and wanted to talk more about the plan, suddenly the sound of ringtone was heard from one of the chairs, the person sitting on that chair was the CEO of England's phone company.

A little embarrassed seeing how everyone stopped talking and now looking at him, he said as he picked up his phone from the inside of his pocket "Pardon me, everyone, even though I put my phone on silence, I made it so that the extremely important contacts and calls would not be on silence and come through... this must be a very important call."

After looking at the screen of his phone, he said "It's a very important friend of mine and I need to answer it, excuse me." as he said that without waiting for anyone's response he picked up the phone and stood up as he started walking outside the meeting conference room.

THREE DAYS AGO

It's been a couple of days since Detective John Lock reported his findings to Amara Martin.

Since then he had been thinking about his baseless hypothesis and he has even investigated the 'Ghost Theft' case a lot, but no matter how much he dug, he found no relation between the two Virus Company and the Ghost Theft.

But as a Detective he had a strong sense and feeling for these things, he somehow trusted what his gut was telling him about this.

And this was also one of the reasons he was considered a genius detective, as what his gut told him and felt was usually true.

Now even though he had no proof or evidence for his hypothesis, he still somehow believed that the Virus Company was at least related to the matter of the Ghost Theft, and even if there was no motivation behind the act or even if the evidence were telling him otherwise, he would still suspect the Virus Company.

John Lock had done big and important things for the Martin Family in the past and he still did help whenever the family faced a problem, but there was a reason why he would do so much for the Martin Family, a reason no one other than him and Amara's father knew.

When Detective Lock was only an orphan Amara's father had discovered his talent and thus financed him to study and get to the place where he was today.

He knew he was a genius detective right now mainly because Amara's father had helped him.

And as Detective Lock was not an ungrateful person he had long sworn to himself that he would help Amara's father and his family till the day he dies.

'This Virus Company's entered the Car Market now and the cars are getting more popular each day and honestly, their cars are much better than the Martin Family's cars and probably most of the other car companies.' Detective Lock thought to himself.

Then he continued his thoughts. 'This company's going to be a big threat to the Martin Family in the near future.'

He was now in a dilemma about reporting the matter to Amara's father as he had no evidence and as he had promised Amara to say nothing of this to his father, but after some hesitation, he finally decided.

"Sorry miss," He said in a low voice as he thought 'Even though I promised not to say anything about the investigation to your father... I still need to tell him, as it's not something only about you anymore.'

'But don't worry, I won't tell anything about you telling me to investigate Aizen Vee...now... I need to go to England and report this to Mr. Martin.'

'Even though I have no proof or evidence of my baseless hypothesis and I have a feeling that no such a thing will ever be found, I'll still report this matter to Mr. Martin as it might be of some use to him.'

After that, he packed his things and reserved a plane to England wanting to fly back.
