Chapter 83: Special Packages

A young wounded boy followed the various soldiers who were leading the people away from the war.

The sudden attacks of New Great Britain had threatened the nearby city. The war slowly dragged towards the city and New Great Britain's forces had finally conquered the base.

The evacuation occurred immediately and the soldiers were escorting the civilians out.

Thanks to the pacts and agreements set by the World Governing Powers, it was possible for these civilians to make their retreats without facing the attacks from the enemy.

"Looks like this is where we part ways." A tall man followed the boy.

"Remember your assignments. Let's show these heathens the wrath of God." The young boy spoke seriously.

Eleven refugees nodded and slowly went their separate ways.

On the Tatsulok Aguinaldo, the meeting of the Generals of several nations finally ended.

"General Lu." Harker called out as One China's General was about to disappear on the various exits of the hall.

"Harker?" The young General noticed.

"I have a bold proposal. You probably have heard the intel that I'm the leader of an Underworld organization based in Phil-Pangea. That information is correct."

The simple sentence shocked General Lu.

"However, at the death of my daughter, I realized how things… were wrong for me… Right now, my priority is the destruction of Australia. I have sold all the information regarding my organization to two groups of Foreign Intelligence Service. Your country can benefit from this. All you have to do is allow six people to board your plane."

"Let's talk somewhere else." The General responded. The details that Harker spoke off were extremely terrifying.

The pair walked towards Harker's office.

General Lu sat down on his seat and got straight to business.

"A bold proposal you have, Harker. The things you just said could get you killed. So if you are willing to risk this much just to inform me, you're either crazy or confident of my trustworthiness. Who are these people and what is their purpose?"

"I'm simply resolved, General. These people are American double agents who now reside in Pangea, an Eastern Alliance spy, and two extremely skilled mercenaries from the SPU."

"Oh? That's quite a diverse group. Not to mention they are all our enemies. Why are you bringing One China into this little gathering of yours? And if this is for revenge, why aren't you joining the trip?"

"This mission is a great opportunity for One China, General. You let these groups in, they might be able to give you data on Meng the Dragon. And possibly, his technology."

A surprised look surfaced on General Lu's face.

"Why would you and those countries want to mess with Meng?"

"His technology of course. The unmatched and strong warriors he has are unfathomable. Has your Flood Dragons ever been a match for Meng's assassins? It's clear that he must have some human experiments that could provide biological improvements that enhance the human body."

"It's all pure conjecture. We have yet to confirm if Meng really holds such sciences."

"That's why you send these three. I don't care for the benefits as long as Australia burns. If it's true that Meng holds such technology, then your country stands to benefit from the discoveries made by these groups. If they fail, you cannot be blamed. The fault will fall on either America, The Eastern Asian Alliance, or the SPU."

General Lu silently considered Harker's words.

"Then why have you not risked yourself, General? Why would Pangea not take part in this mission?" General Lu gave a scrutinizing glare at Harker.

Harker laughed.

"Haven't you just seen my countries stand in this war? This isn't a Pangean operation, General. It is a Harker initiative. I gathered those groups and I offered them the plans and sold the information I have regarding Meng. As a part of the Underworld, I also gave them a lot of information on a lot of things." Harker smiled.

General Lu could not help but feel fear in his hearts. Was it possible that Harker knew of his own secrets?

"As for my personal involvement in this, it's simple. This plan is not full-proof. What if it fails? What if Meng doesn't have the technology? This could reveal my connections to the Underworld. And if Pangea finds out about it, my days as General is over. And I ask you, if I lose my position, who can assure me that Australia will fall?!" Harker questioned with eyes burning with fanatic passion.

General Lu could not help but pity the man. So behind this cold General's treatment towards his own daughter was actually a doting father, who simply gave her daughter tough love?

"I will contact my immediate supervisors. I'll tell them of the six new members. Have them board my plane."

"Oh? You don't need their approval?"

"They trust me. And I don't need to worry. I feel that I can trust you as well." General Lu stood up and immediately left.

Harker coldly watched as the General left. When the doors were finally shut, Harker finally sighed.

Harker took his phone and immediately dialed a number.

"You're good to go. Meng's assassin should soon meet with your team. Good luck. And Alean, come back alive." Harker coldly spoke.

Alean didn't even respond but simply ended the call. However, she had an unusual smile on her face.

"Strange." She muttered under her breath.

"The missions a go. Meng's assassins should be here soon."

"Alright!" One special package to Meng coming up!" Meryl laughed.

"It's your time to shine." Arthur glanced at the groggy couples.

"What happened?" Chris complained.

"Sorry, Uncle Chris! I had to knock you all out. And we gave you some drugs. You should take this time to get used to your new strength."

"What?" Chris wondered as he tried to compose himself from the groggy sensation.

"Meryl!" Jade ran towards her daughter and hugged her tight. Steveson followed and gave a hug as well.

"Mom! Dad! Not in front of my friends! And aren't you an Eastern Alliance spy? You should have more bearing and calm composure." Meryl gave an embarrassed cry as her mother and father hugged her tight.

"I'm just glad you're safe. You're not mad that we lied to you?"

"Save it for later. We have more pressing issues at hand." Arthur spoke.

"Where are we?" Steveson asked.

"The Tatsulok Aguinaldo."

"Hey! I know you! That famous Piercing e-sport player!" Peters laughed.

"You know that there's a big bounty for your old man. The strange thing is, there was a bounty for you but then an explicit order came out not to touch you."

"We'll have time for all unnecessary talks later. In a few minutes, you will be boarding a plane headed for One China. At this point, if you fail to follow my instructions you will die." Arthur spoke emotionlessly.

"You all are now going to play the part as representatives of each of your organizations. Indigos, you're working for the SPU. Each of you will pretend to be in a joint operation to infiltrate and steal Meng's technology."

"So basically if we don't play along with all this, you'll kill us?"

"No. China would. Besides, screw up and your daughter would die. Well… probably die." Arthur added as he felt Meryl's scorned stare.

"The files are here in this papers. Read it and live up to it." Arthur handed the group a set of files.

The group gave a casual glance and terror was seen on the eyes of Chris and Steveson.

"My God! This could lead to a World War! This is crazy!" Chris cried as he read the files.

"Don't worry Uncle Chris!" Lynd laughed.

"They know what they're doing. Arthur's very smart and Lowengren's just as amazing. I'm sure they have a well-thought plan in all of this. By the way, how did you guys infiltrate Australia?"

"We rode a long-range missile and glided our way into Australia's territory! It was fun! Kinda scary on the last part though. We had to jump off before the missiles blew up the base." Meryl announced in glee.

"Rode…a missile?" Jade paled at hearing her daughter's description.

"Enough. We'll have more of that later. Read the files now. Carleans please follow me to the next room." Arthur immediately strode as they made their way.

"So… how was the training?" Lynd asked trying to change the subject.

"They're really impressive. Seeker was right. Those kids that we rescued in Malay-Pangea were monsters. They probably could reach Inhuman Proficient or more. What about you?"

"Cliff started training his old gang. They're quite slow. I'm guessing only up to Unbecoming Proficient unless Charles improves his drugs. So far no Ranked Heroes..."

"You guys are crazy. You've been constantly exposed to people who were strong. Your standards are too high! Charles Lindmitt, a soldier who managed to provide great advances in the field of medicine… That speaks of his capacity in intellect and strength. Alean Cipril, a girl born and raised in the clashes of the Underworld. It's only expected that they reach at least Surmounting Inhuman!" Lowengren complained.

"Take a chill pill will ya?" Meryl frowned.

"Is it any better than the previous pill you gave me?" Lowengren growled.

Alean laughed.

"In any case, Sebastian's right. You've been around strong people. Considering your bloodlines and the dangerous things your family was involved in, it's expected for you to reach these potentials. The only anomaly in our group is Cliff." Alean pointed out.

"So you're saying… I'm a genius?" Cliff grinned.

"I'm saying you're a monster. Geniuses know how to use toilet paper." Alean giggled and Lynd laughed.

The group continued their casual conversations as the parents were shaking at the implications of the files they have before them.

On the far-out reaches of space…

A large asteroid continued to orbit Mars. This asteroid was big enough to be a moon. But it's axis on Mars was so precise that Earth could never see it through its telescopes and satellites.

"We've lost several Pioneers." A man spoke as he stood in the middle of a large hall full of people. His features were very young but he had a large frame. He had a red glow on his eyes that stared calmly at the group before him.

"What happened? Have these beasts found out about us?" A bearded man shouted. The huge frame was made obvious even as he sat down.

"Impossible! We were careful to hide all traces! Is there a traitor?" A thin man with glasses squeaked nervously.

"Why would anyone betray us? What does Earth have that we don't?" A tanned man laughed.

"Pokemon." A man with a rugged attire pipped in.

Everyone was silent. Some even nodded unconsciously.

"Garenjazz… What are those clothes?" The young man asked.

"I thought it looked cool. They called this style Hipster. Do you like it?"

"Nevermind." The tall young man ignored it.

"Whatever is happening on Earth, we can no longer ignore it. Garenjazz… will you go?"

"Pass." He shook his head.

"I'll go." The bearded man laughed.

"Just make sure not to indulge in your pleasures too much. We believe this is what led to the deaths of those Pioneers." The young man turned back.

The bearded man laughed.

"I won't. I'll just kidnap the girls and bring them back here. That way, no one will find me out."

"Don't take too many and avoid those who are influential." The young man replied.

"Don't touch Amanda." The thin man ordered.

"Cherry or Gordon?" The bearded man asked.

"Can you kidnap, Rein, Cloud, and Seeker?" A young teen girl interrupted.

"Seeker? Who's Seeker?"

"A rising pro gamer. He's so dreamy… I hope he's not dead. I heard he was in Australia."

"Well, Princess… you should know how these things are. I know it's your first time requesting packages. But we can't just pick any famous Earth artist. I doubt I could take Rein. His fame in the Eastern Alliance would create too many conspiracy theories if we fake his death. Cloud's just as worse."

"Oh? So that's what Feyor meant by influential." The young girl sighed.

"I can get this Seeker for you though."

The eyes of the girl twinkled.

"Yay! Seeker's the yummiest anyways! I can't wait!" The young girl bit her lips in anticipation and lust. This would be her first special package from Earth.
