Apocalyptic Rebirth: With a repairman system space, she rises again. Chapter 507: The Invinsible man in hiding

Earl rubbed his arms like sothing annoying had crawled on him, "Found it at my workstation at the dic bay. I don’t want anything to do with her. She feels like a stalker! Mom, Dad do sothing!"

Sothing inside Sunshine snapped, fury rose like magma in her chest, hot and violent. Her hands already moved as she grabbed the box while Hades shouted her na and Hunter ran after her asking her to wait.

She was already halfway out, ignoring greetings from those that she crossed paths with. It was Tank who stopped her by standing in her path stubbornly. "Move Tank."

The robot did not budge. "Foreman Sunshine, it is my duty to stop you when you are about to break a wall the wrong way. Fact collection is more important than screaming and arguing pointlessly." It looked at the hamr in her hand. "Or smashing her into a flat piece of bread."

Sunshine sighed and turned back. The robot was right.

There was one question that was clinging to the air like smoke long after a fire had gone out, stubborn and irritating and impossible to ignore, how Amber had managed to send a gift to Earl. She had never been to the second wall. How did she get sothing into the dic bay?

Ariel, who had just been filled in by Earl was the first to voice it though it ca out half-ford as if he were thinking out loud rather than addressing the room, "I just... I don’t get how she pulled that off," he said, staring at the floor instead of anyone else. "How did she gain access to the dic bay here?"

Hades leaned closer to Sunshine and murmured in a low voice that carried just enough edge to make her jaw tighten, "That woman is determined, I’m telling you, she’ll crawl through fire if it ans getting close to the kids. And I know she is doing it out of selfishness and that worries . She could even hurt them if it ans it’s the only way to get close to them."

Earl scoffed, folding his arms defensively. "This is not that hard to figure out, she bribed soone, that’s usually how things get done among criminals."

"Or how contraband is smuggled and moved around in prison." Ariel muttered.

His words made Sunshine bite her bottom lip and clench her hand around the handle of her hamr. It was the sign that her patience had snapped into sothing sharper and more dangerous, because bribery ant betrayal and betrayal could only be dealt with ruthlessly.

She snatched up her tablet with a decisive flick of her wrist and said, "Alright, let’s see how our mystery delivery accomplice did it," pulling up the dic bay footage as everyone crowded closer.

The screen flickered to life and showed the sterile hallway where, to everyone’s collective unease, a box slid smoothly across the floor on its own like it had invisible hands and a clear sense of purpose before stopping neatly at Earl’s workstation.

Sunshine exhaled slowly before saying what everyone was already thinking, "That’s invisibility, there’s no other explanation."

Ariel winced like the words themselves gave him a headache. "We only have two registered invisible superhumans in the database," he held up two fingers as if counting might make the problem smaller, "Uncle Hadrian, and Wetty Knowles, but she’s dormant. She rarely leaves her house and pays for her rent and food instead of working. She is rich, she does not need a bribe from Amber."

That left Hadrian!

Hades imdiately shook his head, his voice firm, "It can’t be Hadrian, he wouldn’t do sothing this stupid and he hates Amber even more than ." Amber was the cause of his wife’s accidental death.

Sunshine was already scrolling through Wetty’s file, eyes narrowing until she froze and then looked up, incredulous, "She’s eighty," she announced.

Earl snorted despite himself, "What, invisible grandma doing unwanted deliveries now?"

His words earned him a glare from his father who sighed deeply and said, "Don’t joke, she’s still a superhuman, eighty doesn’t an weak."

Ariel nodded reluctantly and made the call anyway, putting it on speaker as Wetty’s sharp, offended voice filled the room insisting she’d been playing bridge all day. And she did leave the house, but only to go swimming.

Everyone was skeptical. Sunshine cross-checked the footage in real ti before holding up a hand. "She’s telling the truth."

The room fell into a quiet that felt heavier than shouting.

Sunshine finally broke it with a flat, uneasy statent, "Then it wasn’t her."

Hades’s jaw tightened as he muttered, "Which ans we either have a new invisibility variant or soone slipped through registration," and he rubbed his temples before snapping, "The registration desk is getting sloppy."

Ariel didn’t look up as he added, "And Aunt Lisha’s team too, they monitor the thermal bands," before letting out a loud, theatrical sigh that was half exhaustion and half frustration.

Sunshine pulled up the thermal data, Hunter peered over her shoulder before saying lightly, "Move over, I can scan faster, and I can find what your monitoring devices missed."

The screen reorganized itself and suddenly three nas flashed with abnormal readings, Trezza Frey, Prince Colt Shmitt, and Elijah Harrington.

Sunshine laughed. The sound was sharp and derisive, the kind of laugh that held no humor at all, "I’ll bet two million gold bars it was Elijah Harrington." she said confidently.

Ariel blinked as if he’d missed a step and asked, "Wait, so you’re saying he’s a superhuman?"

Hades nodded slowly, eyes dark with thought, "Either that or he’s about to beco one."

Sunshine shook her head emphatically, "No, he already is one. He ca to us that way, which is why Hunter had marked him as suspicious, and I assigned two guards to watch them. He hid the information about his ability during registration. In my experience, people don’t hide that kind of news unless they’re planning sothing, and both he and Amber have ulterior motives written all over them."

Earl frowned, uneasy now, "Mom, find a way of getting rid of them. My office is a sacred space. I don’t need drama over there."

Hunter smirked but her eyes were sharp and alert as she said, "Good thing for us, I can detect invisible signatures, especially now that he’s marked on my radar. From now on, I will know if he takes a step anywhere."

Hades crossed his arms and asked the question hanging on everyone’s nerves, "So what do we do next?"

Sunshine’s voice softened just a fraction as she answered. "We watch him, quietly, no accusations, no drama," then she looked directly at Hunter and added, "Both of them, I want to know even if he sneezes suspiciously."

Hunter gave a lazy salute, humor dancing at the corners of her mouth even as her focus sharpened, "On it, boss."

As the room slowly relaxed, tension eased slightly.

Ariel muttered, "We should have given her the promised money and supplies and denied her accommodation, the opinions of others be damned."

Sunshine and Hades gasped.

"What gift did she send anyway?" Ariel asked. "I need to know if it’s sothing we can set on fire, soak in acid, or cut up and send back to her."
