Chapter 90

Lucky 90

Calix turned to Kimberly and checked her well-being. He even dropped the pistol just for her. His face was anxious the whole time as he wiped the blood off her face. 

"Are you okay? Is there a pain? Should I call an ambulance?"

He exactly forgot that he just killed a man, well he killed two. He didn't care about them in the first place, they could rot in hell for all they were worth. He just wanted to treat Kimberly. Luckily, Kimberly wasn't hurt that much. She had a nosebleed but everything was fine. 

However… Now, that Kimberly lost her glasses. She started crying and clutched his clothes. She was afraid, she thought that she was gonna die. She was afraid that she would never see Calix again. 

It was funny because all she thought about was Calix, she didn't think about her father nor her deceased mother. She was afraid to lose him. 

"I - I…"

"It's okay, everything is fine. You don't have to be scared anymore." Calix hugged her and kissed her forehead.

Because of the tears and trembling, she could not speak well. The reason why she was crying was not because of the situation. It was tears of joy, she was so delighted to know that Calix was here for her. 

She swallowed the saliva stuck in her throat and started crying so loud. The emotions came out since she lost her glasses. Her body was shuddering in his arms as her head rest against his shoulder. It was too much, the fear of losing him was too much. 

If she was kidnapped, she knew that she would never see him again. 

"It's okay, I'm here. You don't have to be afraid anymore."

Calix caressed her back as she cried wholeheartedly, her hands never leaving his shirt, they tightly gripped it. He assured Kimberly that he would never leave her. They remain close to each other while waiting for the authority to come.

…

The incident ended without causing any problems to their lives. Kimberly's father fixed the problem. He compensated all of the people who were caught in the incident.

Because of his money, the incident did not reach the news and it was dealt with as a traffic accident. Sacko and Timmy's names never came out of the news. It was good actually. 

Kimberly and Calix could say that it was covered well. They realized the extent of Mark's ability. Through his money alone, he could control the media. 

As for Kimberly, CEO Mark received her research and smiled as he thought that it was feasible. He was actually thinking if the scientists of his company were stupid because they did not think about using a Runic Symbol. Well, Runic Symbol is a lost technology and only the Dwarves could use it. 

Nonetheless, it did not take a long time for them to acquire working Runes to shrink the Battle Suits. They hired archeologists to find Runes in the other countries. Since then, the newest version of Battle Suits sized for only five inches. It was the size of a fist, practical size, and weight to carry. 

Of course, since they were the newest version, their prices would be astronomical too. Although most of the richest Clans won't hesitate to buy them. Carrying a large suitcase was a hassle compared to carrying a coffee mug. 

It seemed like Mark earned hundreds of millions through this discovery. Of course, he would pay his lovely daughter too, he would never leave her like that. She was the reason why they found the answer and it was unfair if she doesn't get her share. 

Because of this, Mark's decision of making Kimberly the CEO and Clan Leader became firm. No one in his children could do this job well except for her. She was born to use her brain for the glory of the Cudgel. 

The whole truth of this matter was actually deep. CEO Mark knew that Sacko and Timmy were traitors. He knew that they were stealing information selling them to a certain organization. 

CEO Mark wanted to kill them but when he learned that they were working under the Council of Torment, a cult that believed that the Aberrants are the true humanity and all things must die except the Aberrants. It was fucked up organization that has millions of crazy people. So far, it was the deadliest evil organization that every country want to purge. This organization kept thwarting humanity. In fact, they were the reason why the Obice failed a decade ago when a blood moon was currently at its peak. They were the craziest people and even Mark felt sick thinking about them. 

So instead of killing Sacko and Timmy, he decided to promote them and put them close to him so that he could watch them well. He was waiting for the right time for them to contact their friends. Yup, Mark wanted to locate their headquarters. 

That's why he decided to send Timmy and Sacko to check Kimberly. He knew that these two were eager to kidnap her and take her to the cult's headquarters. Kimberly is a great person and even the Council of Torment treated her seriously. 

She has already proven herself twice. 

Mark was planning to use Kimberly as bait to find the cult's headquarters. His subordinates would follow them until they locate the headquarters. Mark was ready to use his daughter for his plan.

Of course, he would save her after that. He won't let her die since she was the best candidate to take over his position. Besides, it was good for Kimberly if she experienced it. She would become mature and possibly trust her father instead. 

However, it seemed like he made a mistake with his calculation. 

"Calix Romoel…"

That person was the reason why his plan failed. Anyway, even if this plan failed, Mark did not lose. The fact that he had another product to sell was already a victory. 

Timmy and Sacko died and he lost his main suspect to locate the cult. His loss was smaller compared to what he gained because he knew that they did not have a high position in the organization.

"Hehe, I know that locating their headquarters will be hard. So I guess I'm lucky this time. This outcome is not bad."

Luck, indeed.

He tapped his finger on the table and chuckled. As long as his gains were bigger than his loss, then everything was fine. He could find another way to find the headquarters. 

"So for now, I guess I have to visit Kimberly. And perhaps this boyfriend of her…"

He said as his eyes had unknown deep.
