Chapter 159: Pitiful Mother

Natasha was in a great mood since she was getting to spend more time with Lucian.After speaking for a few more minutes, Lucian stood up and walked towards a room, while carrying the new things he brought.

After locking the room from inside, he began to set everything up, he brought Echo into his new device and it didn't take long to set up his temporary system.

"All the news is filled with news about me, so they gave me the name 'Maledic't? Hmm, I guess that's fine much better than Smile, but now everyone believes I am the one who summoned all those Chasms.

It would be troublesome if too many awakeners start to target me, who knows what kind of ability others possess. The solution to this problem is increasing my strength and influence."

Lucian mumbled as he looked at several news channels, they were all just showing the images of that person sitting in dark, wearing that strange mask.

"In any case, Zero does the protagonist have any family members who are alive?" Lucian asked, while his hands were working on the keyboard.

[Yes, he has a mother.]

"Tell me more about it."

[His mother still lives in the old house, she is the only family member of the protagonist left in this world.

Though he did have some annoying distant relatives who are only there to make the life of MC's mother more difficult.

And only after the protagonist has gathered enough influence will he go back to his mother and give his relatives a fright with the people behind him and show his influence.]

"Oh, like the typical Chinese story. Sigh I feel so bad for her, even though she is the mother of such a great person, the protagonist himself, yet who knows what kind of things she is going through. I'll have to help her out, that poor lady."

Lucian mumbled as he found the details about the female surgeon, named Clara who is the vice leader of the Pendulum. From her records, he didn't find anything strange about her.

On the contrary, her life looked boring, only filled with working in the hospital doing surgeries all the time. She didn't have any family members and no records of any person she could be close to.

Lucian sent her a message, then he spoke:

"Echo, help me create a game, I am aiming to create a masterpiece and after the code is complete, Zero you should see all of it, then I can use this on the other Earth too."

[Sigh, so much work. Why is life so annoying?]

(Yes, sir.)

******

Clara was still inside the operation room, performing a critical surgery on a patient who had been injured by a Xaru who had hidden while the awakeners were clearing the city.

She stayed in the operation room for several hours, doing her best and finally, she was able to save the life of the patient. Then she walked out and began to wash her hands and face.

"Great work as always, Dr. Clara." One of the older female doctors spoke while patting her shoulder, Clara just nodded with a small smile.

The nurses and doctors passing by all praised her and the family of the patient thanked her several times.

Clara was sitting on a bench in the hallway, she took her mobile out and looked at the wallpaper displaying her family, it's been so long since she lost them but the pain is just as intense.

Just then she received a message on the device by an unknown number, at first, she was surprised since only a few people knew her mobile number but she still read the content:

"I will call you at 12, be ready with your answer." Clara mumbled.

Even though there was no name mentioned, she instantly understood that it was from Maledict, the person who was the talk of the whole world currently.

"It's already 11:40." Clara checked the time, she couldn't make any decision on her own so she would have to let him speak with her leader.

Clara had no time to think about how he got her number or how he even knew about her other identity. Without wasting a second, she stood up and ran towards the terrace of the building.

She climbed up the stairs and within a minute appeared in front of the gate of the terrace, there was a lock placed on the door since in the past there have been cases where patients jumped off the roof so to prevent it, the terrace was locked.

*BANG*

Clara lightly hit the lock and it broke immediately then she pushed open the door as bright sunlight hit her face, blinding her for a moment. Taking a step forward, she came towards the center of the terrace.

After looking around and making sure that no one was around, Clara turned her face towards the sky and slightly bent her knees as if applying pressure against the roof with her feet. Sёarch* The Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

*Swoosh*

In the next instant, two large wings like that of an angel appeared behind her back except they were a little too big and looked as if they were made of glass, shining with a silver light under the sunlight.

As her wings came out, two big holes appeared on her clothes on the back, but she was wearing additional clothes under her doctor attire which were designed in a way that they wouldn't be affected by the wings.

Then she flapped her wings and in the next moment, she disappeared from the roof leaving behind a strong gust of wind.

Her speed was extremely fast as she disappeared into the sky, looking just like a normal bird flying from the ground.

At such a fast speed, she arrived at her destination within a few minutes. There was only one large house here while no other houses could be seen in a large area around it.

As Clara landed, she pulled back her wings, which seemed to have completely disappeared leaving only the two holes in her clothes as evidence.

The house was in every way expensive. It only had two floors but was built over a large land and filled with all kinds of security gadgets, even the awakeners wouldn't recklessly charge into the house.

Just as Clara began to walk towards the house door, she noticed that the person she wanted to meet was sitting in the lawn, she stood half bent with her palms resting over her knees as she intently stared at something on the ground.

Clara walked in front of her and saw that her leader was looking at an ant colony, to be exact, she stared at a group of ants which were dragging a sugar cube, many of them working together in dragging the cube.

"Leader-" Clara began to speak, as she looked at the time on her mobile. There were still around fourteen minutes before the start of the meeting.

"Shhh, wait a little." The leader said and just kept staring at the ant group.

And even though it was urgent, Clara had no choice but to become silent as she just stood there.
