"I want the two of you to go and bring a certain girl. She is within Stronghold number 17. And let warn you in advance, don't try to play any tricks on her. Not only is she a superhuman, but, she possesses a special ability. If you end up irritating her or angering her, I'm definitely going to cut off your limbs." A task was imdiately given to Derek.
Derek was left speechless for a mont. He could not understand who this lady that he was supposed to bring to his father was. After all, from what his father was saying, she seed to be so important.
But of course, there was sothing that he understood. The lady that he was supposed to go over and bring her back to the territory where his family was located was a superhuman, and she possessed a special ability.
Inside the stronghold domain, it was not that the number of special ability holders was low. It was just that, as compared to the population that was within the stronghold domain, the number of special ability holders was less than 5%.
So, even Derek himself understood that getting a person with a special ability was sothing that an organization could be proud of. That was especially so if the person that possessed a special ability was with an ability that was capable of boosting their power, or it was unique, sothing that could not be replicated.
So, it was not a surprise that several organizations and even territories could fight against each other in order to be able to gain a single person with a special ability.
After all, if a person who was at the superhuman level possessed a special ability like the one that Celine possessed, then, it was obvious that there was nobody in the sa stage as her that could fight against her If they did not possess a special ability as well.
But there was sothing that got Derek's attention in his father's words. That was, this lady that he was supposed to take was actually present within stronghold number 17. That was the stronghold that he had been in not long ago, and he had even decided that he was going to take Patricia when he ca back from the normal world.
But, he had never expected that the information that he had received from Alicia was false. Moreover, Alicia was only trying to use him for her own benefits. And In the end, he failed to get what he wanted, and even fell out with Alicia.
"Father, but if this lady is a superhuman, doesn't that an that she belongs to a certain organization? Or can it be that you were nurturing her secretly?" Derek asked.
Although most of the ti he never wanted to think much about what he was doing, simply depending on his background to do what he wanted, that's not imply that he was not soone with brains. So, he understood that it was an impossibility for a person without a background to be able to reach the superhuman level.
Additionally, how was it possible that a person with a special ability, capable of reaching the superhuman level was without an organization? How did that person manage to get the resources that she utilized to be able to reach the level that she was in?
"You don't have to worry much about that. She has just registered as a mber of the Stronghold domain today. That implies that until now, there is nobody that can claim that she belongs to them. So, as long as we get to her first, then, it is going to be our own benefit." Derek's father replied.
Derek remained silent after hearing what his father had said. A person at the superhuman level who had just registered as a mber of the Stronghold on this very day. How was that even possible?
Nevertheless, he trusted his father. There was no way that his father was going to act if the information that he had received was false. But, he was having an inkling that this issue might actually be related to him in one way or another. After all, he had interacted with Celine, and he was not sure in which organizational territory she belonged to.
"Okay. I'll make sure that we co back with her. And if she tries to resist, since she doesn't belong to any organization, I will make sure that we take her by force." Derek stated completely forgetting about what his father had said first.
After hearing what Derek had said, Derek's father imdiately beca angry. He was wondering why his son was so idiotic sotis! He had just said that he was not supposed to harm her, but here he was, claiming that he wanted to take her back by force.
"Did you not hear what I just said? I say that you better treat her well, making sure that nothing happens to her. If there's sothing that happens to her, then I'm going to break your legs. Forget about that, I'm going to cut off your legs!" Derek's father stated angrily.
Derek felt his body shivering after hearing his father's angry voice. He had actually forgotten about what his father had said not long ago. It was a good thing that he was not where his father was currently, otherwise, he really would have been beaten up.
As for having his legs cut off, that was not sothing that his father joked about. But, he knew that his father could do that. With the current level of technology that was within the stronghold domain, it was not a problem for them to be able to regenerate a limb of a person.
It was just that, the pain that a person was going to undergo during the ti that they would be cutting off their limb would not be sothing that soone could be proud of. So, Derek who feared pain was not willing to take the risk of having his limbs cut off.
"Yes father. I'll make sure that I bring her back in one piece. But, what if she refuses to co with us?" Derek asked. He had to make sure that he took all the precautions, making sure that he did not anger his father.
"Just tell Vincent to knock her out. That way, we can avoid dealing any damage to her. She is going to be important to our family in the future. So, try to make sure that she doesn't suffer anything that is going to make her hate out family." Derek's father responded.
Vincent was the old man that was protecting Derek all this ti. According to Derek's father, he believed that with the current level of strength that Vincent possessed, he was going to be capable of knocking out a stage one superhuman.
Derek on the other hand was left speechless montarily. After all, he was wondering what his father was trying to imply here. How was what he had just said different from what he had just suggested?
He suggested that if the lady that they were going to pick up refused to co over with them, then, they would just take her with force. But, his father threatened to cut off his limbs.
But, wasn't kidnapping the sa thing? After all, if they knocked her out, that implied that they wanted to take her away against her own will. That was still at the sa as using force against her.
Of course, Derek only thought of that, but he did not dare to say that in front of his father. So, he simply nodded and said, "I understand father. I'll make sure that we complete this mission as soon as possible so that we can be back at ho."
"Make sure you rember what I just said. Do not cause any damage on her. If she cos over and she is injured or you have done anything to her, I'm going to make sure that I cut off your limbs. I'm going to send over her image to you." Derek's father responded before ending the communication.
Derek waited for a while before a ping ca from his communication device. He looked at the communication device, and the information about the lady that he was supposed to take over back to his family was sent by his father.
But, he had just looked at the information, reading the na, and he was completely stunned. He had not expected that the lady that he was supposed to pick was actually Celine. Additionally, it seed that she was currently registering as a mber of the stronghold domain?
Could it be that he had been thinking too much, thinking that she was soone with a background? But how was it possible? A young superhuman being capable of reaching the superhuman level without resources? That was definitely impossible.
Nevertheless, he was excited. After all, he had been thinking that the person that he was supposed to pick was maybe 40 years or above. But, it turned out that it was the very sa target that he was looking for. He had been planning to start going around into different strongholds in order to look for her whereabouts.
Who would have thought that the information about where she was, was going to be provided to him by his father? Additionally, his eyes suddenly widened with excitent. After all, it seed that Celine had already caught his father's attention. That would imply that his father was having the intention of having Celine join their family.
With excitent in his eyes, he looked at Vincent and said, "Let us get a vehicle and go to Stronghold number 17. Father has given a mission that needs to be completed as soon as possible."
Derek had never expected that his luck was going to be this good. Although he was not able to ss with Celine for the mont, but, he was going to ss with Patricia while there, before taking Celine with him. As for Celine, he believed that his father was going to accept the marriage between the two of them after Celine joined their family.
"Yes young master." Vincent responded before the two of them began heading into the direction of the stronghold.
