Chapter 90: Return to the Facility

I don't know when I slept, but I had a good sleep in the helicopter. I drifted to sleep when I was thinking about my life in the forest.

But a sudden tap on my shoulders woke me up. I slowly opened my eyes to see Olivia looking at me.

"What happened?" I asked as I rubbed my eyes.

I think I am still tired, and it will take a lot of time to recover. Even though I slept in the room. I am still feeling sleepy.

"We are about to reach," she said with a smile.

I nodded and sat straight as I looked outside the window. The outline of the facility was visible to me as the helicopter slowly made the descent.

Hah, what a nostalgic feeling. Six months ago, I left this place for the jungle. And I am returning after six months back. I don't know what happened to the remaining soldiers. 

Anyway, they didn't speak about Diana at all. I don't know whether they knew about her or not.

Even though I knew about Diana, I can't tell anything about her to Olivia and Alexandra.

I looked at Olivia and asked, "What about Diana?"

Olivia looked at Alexandra and then at me and sighed. "We don't know. Just like you, her tracker stopped working. Well, we can't expect everyone to return."

I can see the sadness in her eyes. I wanted to tell them that she was fine, but I kept quiet.

It's better that they don't know. Some things should be kept a secret. I will tell them when the time is right.

"Ah, when did this happen?" I asked Olivia, with a surprised expression on my face.

She sighed and said, "Just after your tracker disappeared. We thought that any high-level animal encountered you, people."

I nodded and kept quiet. 

They only knew that I tend to avoid Diana when I was in the facility. That's why they didn't find it surprising my indifferent reaction towards her disappearance.

After a while, we landed on the helipad, and I got out of the helicopter.

Hah, the feeling of returning home was welled up inside me. This was the first home for me. I somehow feel a sense of belonging to this place. After my visit to the jungle, that waterfall was my second home. I seriously felt nostalgic when I returned to this place.

Olivia stood beside me and said, "Would you like to come to my home? My mother wants to see you,"

I was surprised that even her mother wanted to see me. This was the first time anyone wanted me to meet their parents.

Even on earth, I haven't met any of those girls' parents. Although, I enjoyed myself with them a lot. Hah, I think I have changed a lot in the past.

If anyone had asked me about meeting their parents, I would have run away from them. I didn't want to take responsibility. But now, I don't mind meeting any parents. Whatever the case is, I will take responsibility. Maybe the loneliness in me has changed me a lot.

I quickly nodded at her and said, "Fine, anytime you want." I smiled and patted her cheek.

But a cough from Alexandra destroyed the atmosphere. "Can we go now?"

I looked at Alexandra, "You also want a pat on your cheeks,"

Alexandra suddenly smiled and said," Really, would you do that to me?"

Her smile made my hair stand all over my body, but I smiled and said, "Please bring your cheek here, I will give a pat then."

She had a surprised expression for a moment, but she really came near me and showed her cheeks to me.

I quickly gave her a small pat on her cheeks and moved away from her. I somehow felt she would do something to me.

To be honest, she and Amelia were the only ones who gave me this feeling. As if they will punish me for my audacity.

Even though I felt like that, I couldn't keep myself away from them. Before leaving for the forest. I had a lot of banter with Alexandra.

"Alan O Alan, I can't wait to see you in the training room," Alexandra suddenly said to me.

I know my time has come. She really is going to take revenge, but I will see. I am a lot stronger now. Let's see who is going to punish whom.

After a while, we all gathered in Alexandra's office. When I entered the building. My eyes were attracted towards the reception desk. Then I looked at Olivia, who was looking at me.

This was the place where I met Olivia. She pretended to be the receptionist and spoke to me. 

But this time when I looked at the desk. A beautiful girl was sitting there. And when she looked at me, she got stunned. 

To tell the truth, everyone was looking at me when I was making my way towards Alexandra's office. Even old ladies were shocked when they saw me.

I know I became even more handsome after I returned from the forest.

Olivia suddenly poked me and said, "Do you want me to introduce you to her?" She looked at me and asked, with a smile on her face.

But I somehow felt jealousy in her voice. Hah, she is getting jealous of me getting all the attention?

I looked at her and nodded. "Would you?"

She had a surprised expression on her face, then she scoffed "Why would I?" Then she walked towards Alexandra's office.

Heh, isn't she the one who asked one? Now, why was she behaving like that? 

I didn't mind her and approached the beautiful receptionist as she kept staring at my face.

"Hello Beautiful, if you don't mind, can I have your name?"

She was lost for a moment, but then said hurriedly, "Lily," 

I can see her flushed face as she spoke to me. But then suddenly I heard Olivia's voice.

"Alan, can you please come here?" 

I looked around to see Olivia standing on the stairs, with her hands on her hips. She really looked like a jealous wife, as she also had a grumpy face.

"Coming" I smiled and nodded at her, then looked at the receptionist and said,

"We will meet later," she nodded as she heard me.

I then moved towards Olivia, who was still standing on the stairs, as she stared at me. As I came near her, I quickly pecked her on her lips and started walking towards the Alexandra office.

Olivia was really lost. When I kissed her lips, she wouldn't have expected that I would kiss her. The way she was acting today really tempted me to kiss her. Anyway, she had a cute face, and the way she acted like a jealous wife was really cute.

Anyway, after we all gathered in Alexandra's office, we discussed my future path. I already knew that there were many facilities like this all over the world. And in the Gathering of the best, each facility will have one candidate. Before me, no candidate represented this facility. 

But after my performance, I was nominated. That's why I understand why Alexandra was so happy when she met me at the restaurant.

Anyway, as I am the lone representative for the facility, I could access more facilities in this facility. Even though I practiced with Alexandra before. I could not access all the facilities.

They even have a gravity chamber, with up 50 times gravity. I can't imagine what would be the condition of my body, if I practiced 50X gravity.

Anyway, it's for later. Alexandra even told me that, Body strengthening serum would be given to me. With the help of serum. I could get stronger.

Only the selected soldiers were given the serum and I was one of them selected. I really felt quite fortunate that I met Amelia. Without her, it would not have been possible. I wouldn't have trained in that space and would not be able to consume that blood of GOD.

Speaking of Amelia, I don't know what happened to Adrian. Maybe in the future, I will know about his condition. 

The more I discussed, the more I got to know that I would be given many other things which would help me develop. I think they really wanted me to be indebted to them. 

After the discussion, Olivia told me to accompany her to meet her mother. 

I also told her that I wanted to buy some more clothes, as I have nothing to wear other than a uniform.

After a while, we left the facility and made our way to the city. Every time I visit the city, I feel that I am in a futuristic world that can only be seen in Hollywood movies.

After purchasing the clothes. I quickly changed into a T-shirt and jeans with good sneakers. And when I looked in the mirror, man, I looked really awesome. I didn't know that I looked too good at these clothes.

After I changed my clothes, I went with Olivia to meet her mother. I really don't know why she wanted to meet me.
