257 Just Ask

Afterward, the commander in charge finally gave the order to dispatch the Abnormals to the scene. After they arrived, even though they faced some difficulties in the process of dealing with the remaining monsters, eventually, they were successful in dealing with them.

"Let's go." Seeing the battle was already over, an invisible spaceship silently left the vicinity.

After the government of France revealed the news regarding the red crystals, a big commotion arose among the leading figures of various countries in the world as they became determined to get their hands on a few of these red crystals for starting their own special experiments on them.

That was mainly because they felt like whatever catastrophe was storming their way at this very moment, the red crystals just as well might be the best solution to it. Or at least, with the utilization of the red crystals, they may be able to resist better.

Moreover, they were anxious to not fall behind other countries when it came to the matters of the rift. All of them believed that the crystals, beads, and the monster carcasses were the key to opening many new doors to their science and technology.

So with these thoughts in mind, when the rifts had shown up once again in Korea, France, and the United States of America, the eyes of the leaders of each country began to shine as they patiently waited for the ruptures in space to open up. Some of them even felt a bit of regret that no rifts had appeared in their own countries.

And now that both Korea and France had dealt with the rifts in their own territory, in order to get their hands on some of those red crystals, almost all of them impatiently picked up their special phones as they started to connect to whatever connections they had in both France or Korea.

Currently, the President of India was on the phone as he spoke to an unknown person, "Our government is willing to purchase each of those red crystals at the price of one million dollars, I believe that's an appropriate price for it, no? Will you sell a few to us?"

"Sorry, but our President had passed along specific orders as to not sell any of our crystals under any circumstances. Moreover, the Russian government had offered us five million dollars for each of those crystals, but we refused nonetheless." Shaking his head, the other person replied.

Hearing that Russia had offered a whooping price of thirty million dollars, a deep frown showed up on the President's face before he added, "Hmm, is that so? That was just my initial offer anyway, we're willing to buy even at the price of ten million dollars for each of them, how about that? Though in case your country is interested in this trade, the price is still negotiable…"

The man on the other side of the line seemed to have been shocked by this offer as he pondered to himself, 'Oh my god… whoever can get their hands on just one of those crystals can get filthy rich in a single night…' But still, heeding the orders, he responded, "I'm sorry, but the answer is still the same. You can try to directly contact our President personally, however, I don't think his decision will change in any way."

"Is that so? How about selling us one or two of those beads then? Our country is willing to buy each of those stones for at least one million dollars." Understanding it was probably impossible to get their hands on any of those wonderous crystals, the President changed the subject to their second priority on their list.

"Umm… that might be possible… but I'm not sure. How about this… I'll ask the President if he's interested in the deal or not, afterward, I'll let you know." Said the other person.

Realizing buying off some beads or monster bodies might be really possible, he added further, "Alright. Also, we're willing to buy some of those monster carcasses for a few hundred thousand dollars per corpse."

It wasn't clear who started it, but at some point, over the internet, a post went viral which attracted the attention of almost the whole world to itself. This was because right now, the news related to the rift was of utmost importance to everyone as they paid close attention to every news regarding it.

Anyhow, that post revealed the wondrous effect of the red crystals as it described how it would make the Abnormals stronger if they consumed it.

This in return, promptly piqued the interest of a lot of people as they began questioning their countries about the authenticity of this news.

Lots of discussions were also taking place in the world, "Did you hear that? The crystals make the Abnormals more powerful!"

"Oh my god… are we still living in the real world?"

"Why don't I have a fucking Trait… I would've become a god!"Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.

Touching his eyeglasses, a certain mumbled, "Hmm… This makes me wonder… what would happen if a normal person took one of those crystals? Since when Abnormals consume it, it makes their Trait stronger, would it perhaps make normal people Abnormals? Thus awakening their Traits?"

"The country better provide us with an answer asap! I hope they don't keep it a secret like last time or that would seriously piss me off!"

Seeing another commotion bubbling up, the figures of the highest authority who had already expected this kind of situation to happen decisively decided to elaborate on the matter of red crystals.

Then, each country released a piece of information that was accessible to the common populace.

The content of this general knowledge stated that the red crystals could truly make the Traits of Abnormals stronger. However, directly consuming them was life-threatening and fatal.

Korea and France also further elaborated upon the fact that the best scientists in their countries were currently working on this as they were trying to remove the danger of the crystals.

When it came to studying the red crystals, the two countries seemed to be taking different routes in their experimentation. While France was trying to discover materials that might result in neutralizing the fatality the crystals posed to its consumers, Korea was making an enormous effort to pinpoint their dangerous parts in order to separate them from the useful sections.

A simple explanation was presented regarding the beads too as it was declared that their use was still unknown, however, it was further clarified they still strongly believed the beads also had their own special and amazing benefits.

"Is everything ready?" At this time, the President of the USA inquired toward the person in front of him.

"Mr. President, everything was prepared according to your orders. Now, we just need to wait and hit the monsters hard the moment the rift opens up." In a respectful tone, the other person answered.

Listening to his words, nodding his head, the president added further, "Alright, tell everyone to stay in an extremely vigilant state since the success or failure of our plan highly depends on this simple fact, being alert!"

Meanwhile, inside the clouds right above the crack in the fabric of space itself in the USA, an invisible spaceship was hovering motionlessly.

"Master, it's probably going to open up in a few hours…" Voiced the golden beauty toward the handsome young man in front of her.

The black-haired youth, obviously Virus, replied, "Yeah… I'm ready for that-" As he talked to this point, he went quiet for a moment before continuing, "Oh, their strategy isn't bad too."

"Is that so? Can I check, master?" She asked back.

"Sure…" He replied in a relaxed manner.

Seeing that the permission was granted, the golden beauty connected as she instantly became aware of their entire strategy too before saying with a broad smile, "Hah… you're right, master! That strategy is truly impressive. But won't that be bad for master? What if they are able to kill off all of those creatures by themselves…"

"Let's wait and see for now." To this notion of hers, Virus simply responded like that.

Afterward, for almost an hour, silence became dominant within the spaceship. Throughout this one hour, the golden beauty kept gazing at her master's face from time to time. It was as if she wanted to inquire about something. However, every time, not finding the courage, she looked away.

"Just ask." Unable to stand this any longer, Virus who clearly understood the golden beauty's personality better than anyone else uttered helplessly.

Seeing her master had realized something was occupying her mind, a slight redness appeared on her cheeks before she mouthed the question that was eating at her, "Umm… master, what are you gonna do about Ella…?"
