Chapter 90- Dream

"I see…" Nodding her head, Kaya pondered Mikayla's words before she looked up and asked.

"I will keep it in mind. As long as the Black Phantom isn't some kind of blood-l.u.s.ting maniac, I should be able to have a civilized conversation with him."

"Just be careful, ey," Mikayla said in an almost worried tone.

This made Kaya smile as she chuckled jovially. "Are you perhaps worried about me, old man?"

"Like h.e.l.l I am! I'm just worried if you die, who's going to inherit my legacy?" He said as he looked away. But, Kaya was already accustomed to this old man's antics and could only smile at him. He was certainly a stoic and cold old man but he still had a soft spot for Kaya.

'I'm glad he was the one to find that day.' She thought to herself. However, her mind quickly came back to reality as she recalled the things she discussed with Kai. Her mood soured quickly but she kept a normal face.

"Hey, old man, can I ask you a question?"

"What?"

"Is resurrecting the dead possible?" She asked as she squinted her eyes.

The old man, who was about to pick up his cigar halted as his eyes s.h.i.+fted to look at his adopted daughter.

"Why are you asking such a sudden question?"

"Consider it my curiosity."

The two stared at each other for a good few seconds as if they were trying to gouge the truth from the deepest parts of each other's souls. The atmosphere inside the office tensed up for a moment.

Until Mikayla finally continued his previous action and inhaled the smoke of the cigar before he said.

"Have you heard some kind of rumor?"

"I did my own research as I was quite interested in the events that occurred between the Charlamagnes and the Lavines. Even Divinity is still incapable of discovering what exactly happened that day."

"Kaya, you…"

"The disappearance of both Gabi Lavine and Trevor Lavine's corpses in mere few hours after the end of the war is something that ticked me off. And then there is the fact that Gabi was killed in the first place. He was a very strong powerhouse of his own and yet he died in such weird circ.u.mstances. Isn't that odd?"

As she was speaking, Mikayla's aura erupted as he looked at Kaya with a cold expression. The latter went silent for a second.

"Enough. This matter shouldn't concern you." He said.

"Why? I have the right to search for the truth when I want it."

"Some truth is better off hidden. Listen to me, Kaya, and consider this a warning. Don't try to look deeper into this matter anymore. You are putting your life at risk."

"Why? What are you hiding from me, old man?" Kaya's confusion only increased.

Why did Mikayla suddenly start speaking like this? What was dangerous about this? Is the 'Undead Project' real after all?

A thousand questions appeared in Kaya's head but she didn't find the answer to any of them. Instead, she grew even warier of whatever Divinity's top authorities are doing in the background.

Her senses were alerting her that whatever it was, it will never have a good ending and her foster father's clear warning is the biggest proof of that.

"Just listen to me and stop digging. What I can only say is Believe in Divinity, we will make the world infinitely better than it was ever before. When the time comes, you will know the full truth. But, for now, focus on what you already know."

"..."

"Well, anyway, this isn't what I wanted to tell you." Mikayla finally stood up and walked toward one of his shelves before he pulled out something. It was a thick folder.

"Read this." He said.

"Hm?"

Receiving the folder, Kaya opened it and read through the content. Silence took over the room again as Mikayla waited for Kaya to finish reading.

A few minutes paced before Kaya finally closed the folder and sighed.

"So, Divinity is really going through with this, huh?"

"Our ambitions are clear. We want to create a better world for Origin users where they can freely use their powers without the need to hide like rats in society."

"Is this really the only way, old man?" Kaya replied with clear uncertainty in her tone.

"It is. No, it's far more than just a solution, this is going to be a pivotal moment in human history. A moment where our world will take a step toward becoming what it was meant to be."

"Sigh…" The blonde beauty shook her head. To say that she agrees with this idea was simply a huge lie.

"Look around you, Kaya. Are you happy with how you have to restrain yourself just to live amongst normal humans? Why should Origin only be something linked to the underworld? It's the most volatile energy on this planet. If we can make it something normal, imagine the results. We can advance our world hundreds of years in record time!" Puffing a cloud of smoke, Mikayla added. "This has been my goal ever since I realized that this world does not accept anyone who's different. We are different, Kaya. We are stronger, smarter, and more capable than any normal human could ever be, and yet most of us live under the cover of secrecy while those who don't deserve to rule take the highest positions."

"Aren't we already influential enough, old man? Look at you, you're an Ex-general in the military. Your achievements can't be counted and you were the patriarch of the Raullot family."

Mikayla shook his head.

"If I go out to the street right now and use Origin, would I still be able to retain my position? The simple answer is no. I will be locked away inside a hole or maybe even killed by Origin users themselves. We are the chosen ones and yet we can't live our lives how we want."

Kaya could only listen quietly to the old man. Although she disagreed with him, she can still understand where he was coming from. Origin users needed to be extremely careful around normal people. It's a restraint for certain.

'But, what would happen if Origin users were to become free from such restraints? Would we be able to live in such a world?' Kaya didn't know the answer for certain. However, she can predict the outcome or in this case… two possible outcomes.

Either society will advance far beyond anyone's scope of understanding and the world becomes a haven ruled by the strong. Or, chaos will ensue as the strong clashed for power and because of that, they will drag the whole planet into chaos with them.

The first one was an idealistic outcome while the latter was more rooted into reality. The underworld was unstable as it is as all influential families and Organizations clash for control.

'If the scale became bigger… It will be a disaster.'

However, she knew that even if she tried to explain this to her grandfather, he will never agree with her. Mikayla was a prideful man who took pride in his Origin powers.

'This idea… Divinity is being guided by insane maniacs.' A hint of anger flashed across Kaya's eyes as she looked down at the files in her hands.
