Chapter 106: Leo

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Father, you called for me?”

In a short while, a tall, broad middle-aged man with handsome features came in.

He was probably in his forties, with blonde hair and blue eyes. He looked like a typical Caucasian and had a confident, n.o.ble manner.

“Leo, you’re here.”

Norman waved away his secretary. “Emily, leave us for now.”

“Yes.”

The secretary nodded at once and quickly left the room, closing the door gently behind her.

The man called Leo made a startled expression and finally turned solemn. He swiftly walked to his father and asked in a low voice, “Did something happen?”

“Look at this.” Norman looked up and handed over the invitation letter he was holding.

After exchanging a glance with his father, Leo suddenly noticed that his father was a little different than usual. There seemed to be something unusual in those eyes.

A piercing sort of glint.

When Leo was young, he had often seen this same glint. Nonetheless, as his father grew older, it became rare for Leo to see this glint in Norman’s eyes.

This was because each time this glint appeared in Norman’s eyes, it meant that he had made a profound decision...

Was this related to the invitation letter?

Leo’s heart thumped and he quickly turned the letter around.

At first, Leo merely frowned but as he kept reading, astonishment bloomed in his eyes. By the end, even his breathing had become heavy...

Twenty minutes later, Leo finally put the letter down with a serious expression. “Father, where did this invitation letter come from?”

“I don’t know either.”

Norman lowered his gaze. It was difficult to make out what he was thinking. “They found a way to evade the attention of everyone around me and placed this in my very hands twenty minutes ago.”

“That’s impossible!” Leo blurted out, “Perhaps they used a drone or bribed one of the bodyguards?”

“Are you doubting my judgment?” Norman narrowed his eyes.

“I wouldn’t be so bold!” Leo hurriedly bowed his head.

“I know this is difficult to believe, but it is what it is...”

Norman pointed at the closed door. “I was lying here just now and only Emily was in the room. In other words, they may have the ability to avoid all of my bodyguards and easily kill me.”

“They’re threatening you?” Leo’s expression grew darker.

“I think that’s what they’re suggesting.”

Norman slowly stood up. “Go and contact a biological expert. I want to know whether this technology is genuine and... Whether it can be replicated.”

...

A few hours later, an old man in a large white coat showed up in Norman’s presidential office.

He sat in front of the computer, watching all the videos with a somber expression. Then, he flipped through the material in his hands with a disgruntled look before putting it down reluctantly.

“Mr. Moss, is it possible that this technology is falsified?” On one side, Leo asked quickly.

“I can locate no traces of fraud.”

The old man sighed and got up from his seat. “Although it’s rather inconceivable, its principles are in fact feasible. There may just be some technical aspects that require further research.”

“If I hand over this material to you, can you replicate the same technology?” Norman asked casually.

“I have high hopes!” The old man’s eyes lit up. “These two reports have inspired me immensely. If I were to conduct the research, I’d only need five years and a billion USD of funding to replicate the first technology!”

Upon hearing this, Norman and his son looked at each other, both noticing the rueful light in each other’s eyes.

“Just the first technology?”

“Erm...”

The old man explained awkwardly, “Perhaps you think that the second technology appears to be simpler than the first since it’s just about the cultivation of clones. However, the difficulty lies in the machine which they called the ‘Life Incubator’. I don’t know how this machine solves the problem of in vitro cultivation, but as far as I know, this will remain impossible across the entire Federation for ten years.”

“Alright, we understand.”

Norman nodded at Leo, who immediately walked forward and ushered the old man out of the room. “Mr. Moss, you did a good job. I’ll send the hush money and service fee to your account. However, about what you saw here, please keep a lid on it. Otherwise, you know what will happen...”

“Mr. Leo, won’t you consider letting me replicate this technology? I can...”

“We’ll talk about this next time.” Leo was unyielding as he sent out the old man. Following that, he shot a look at the two bodyguards.

The bodyguards nodded wordlessly and exited the room too.

After sending away the expert, Leo returned to Norman. He was about to say something when he noticed his father’s contemplative expression.

After a long while, Norman heaved a heavy sigh. He looked up at his son. “Leo, does the website mention how they can be contacted?”

“They’ve listed a date and address.”

Leo turned on the computer and confirmed this. “The date is 30 May, ten days later, and the address is... Walvis Bay, Namibia, Africa.”

“Ten days, huh?”

Norman frowned, then looked somberly at Leo. “Leo, I’ll arrange for you and Jesse to go there. I want to know if their projects are genuine or just a scam.”

“Understood, Father.”

Leo nodded and lowered his eyes.

When his powerful father gave a command, he could only obey.

After deciding this, Norman lay back in his recliner once again and flipped through the invitation letter as if he wanted to engrave each word into his mind.

Seeing this, Leo knew it was time for him to leave.

He cast a final glance at the invitation letter, after which he turned to leave the office and close the door gently.

Perhaps he had imagined it, but in the instant that he closed the door, he seemed to see a flash of greed in his father’s eyes.

...

Seeing that both of them had set the scene, Cheng Cao, who was in cloaked form, turned and left the office noiselessly with the help from the GS Combat Suit.

Even so, he did not go far but hid in the vicinity of the Financial City, ready to move at any time.

After all, someone as cautious as Chen Chen would never reveal his hand when his target’s intention was still unknown. Even if he was exposed, Chen Chen would have some form of a contingency plan.

This time, in addition to the B.S.S. team members led by Cheng Cao who were equipped with GS Combat Suits, Little X was also monitoring Norman’s phone records at all times.

If Norman’s decision was not to cooperate but to become Chen Chen’s opponent, Cheng Cao would use the memory eraser to remove their previous recollections.

To improve the efficiency of this operation, Chen Chen had extracted five cloaking devices for the other five team members. These cloaking devices from Predator were only as large as a longan fruit. They were easily portable and required only a tiny amount of electricity to extract.

Chen Chen had also considered the Controller device from Gantz, which had a cloaking ability too. Still, that device had to be worn on the arm and its ma.s.s and volume far exceeded the cloaking device from Predator. In the end, Chen Chen had ruled it out.

In this manner, Cheng Cao and his five teammates had delivered eleven invitation letters to eleven plutocrats in batches. When the day of the appointment arrived, everyone would gather at Walvis Bay, Namibia.

At that time, the stage would be Chen Chen’s.
