Chapter 303 Support

But as if all this disaster was not enough, one day suddenly a group grabbed her in the street and kidnapped her. Before she knew it, she was in an unknown place and following an unknown woman through what appears to be a bunker full of dangerous people.

'Why does everything have to go so wrong!?' Tightening her hair in frustration, Aiko thought bitterly.

Arriving in front of another metal door, Envy pulled a card from her pocket and held it close to the door, causing it to open automatically.

"Here we are" Entering the room, Envy looks up and smiles slightly.

"W-what's that?"

The room they arrived in is quite important.

The room itself is incredibly large with all of its walls completely metal. You can see several tables and couches scattered all over the place and a myriad of tools strewn about the place.

The truth is that the environment of the room is a mess without any order, but what surprised the scientist is not that, but what appears to be a large machine that flashes different types of lights in the center.

The machine is quite large, measuring approximately 8 meters upwards with a total width of 5 meters, but its shape is quite difficult to explain and everything seems to be crudely put together.

But even though the machine itself is already quite large, it has several circuits exposed next to it with some smaller types of machines.

Needless to say, all of this is completely unknown to the scientist, but for some reason, it all seemed incredibly futuristic in its own way.

"Have you heard of the quantum computer?"

Eyes widening, Aiko raised her trembling hand and pointed at the machine in disbelief "Th-that's..."

"The world's first quantum computer. It has enough power to put any supercomputer in the world to shame. Needless to say, it's at least 1000 times faster than China's or Nasa's supercomputer" Turning her gaze to Aiko for the first time, Envy continued "It's beautiful, isn't it?"

"H-how did you do this... it's still supposed to be impossible" Approaching in a daze, Aiko stood before the imposing machine and murmured.

"Do you know how many people were used to create this computer?" ignoring her question, Envy asked.

"1000?"

"2 people."

"Impossible!"

Turning her gaze to the machine, Envy continued "Our boss and a friend of his managed to create this in less than 5 months."

"..." Still in disbelief, Aiko looked at the machine and took a deep breath, then gathered all her courage and spoke "M-may I know why I was brought here? Let me tell you that I know nothing about this field of science, I will be of no use to you..."

"Our boss was interested in your theory, he wants you to work for him."

"*Gulp* T-the person who created this read my theory?"

"Yes, he gave us the order to bring you in."

"B-but why? Everyone rejected it" Feeling her heart beating violently at the absurdity of the whole situation, Aiko hesitantly asked.

Reaching into his suit, Envy pulls out a folder and tosses it to Aiko "He thinks your research is brilliant, he read it personally and left you some notes in those files. I don't know exactly what it all means since I'm not a scientist, but I'm sure it will help you."

Taking the folder in her trembling hands, Aiko opened the folder and began to read quickly.

Minutes passed and the more Aiko read, the more the disbelief on her face increased, until there came a point where her face flushed with excitement.

"This is brilliant!" Looking up at Envy, Aiko forgot all her fear and stepped in front of her as she exclaimed, "Where is he?! Can I meet him!?"

Losing her small smile, Envy looked coldly at Aiko as the atmosphere around her became repressive, causing Aiko to instantly cool her excitement and shakily recoil.

"He will decide when to join you" Turning her gaze to the machine, Envy continued "I have only one order and that is that you have to work for us"

"..." Biting her lips, Aiko looked down at the folder in her hands and hesitantly asked "W-what if I refuse?"

"Do I need to say it?"

"No..." Feeling a shiver down her back, Aiko quickly shook her head, then sighed and asked "May I know what exactly I have to do?"

"My boss wants to make your theory work."

"You know the risks?" Frowning slightly, Aiko asked cautiously.

"Yes" Nodding indifferently, Envy turned her gaze back to Aiko and continued "We'll offer you a labotarium inside a bunker, you'll have an unlimited budget and you'll have to assemble your own equipment. You will have access to the quantum computer to use as your research tool. In short, you will have our full support."

"Full support..." Murmuring softly, Aiko's eyes flashed quickly and she asked, "Will I really have a free budget?"

"Money is not a problem for us, you can ask for whatever you want and whoever you want, but if you don't deliver results..." Lowering her voice slowly while saying the last, Envy narrowed her eyes at Aiko and whispered "You know what will happen to you, don't you?"

"Y-yes!" nodding her head quickly, Aiko exclaimed "I'll do my best to give results!"

"Your lab will be in Japan, prepare a list of the group you want and the tools you need. Don't ask for unreliable people, and if you need them urgently, keep in mind that we'll most likely end up killing people who are a danger to our confidentiality afterwards"

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

"*Gulp* Y-yes."

"We will give you 50 people to guard your lab and another 10 to protect you at all times, this is not debatable and you will just have to comply."

"Fine... but can I ask you a question?"

"Go ahead."

"What system does the quantum computer have?"

"System?"

"Every computer has a focused system for different jobs... for example the software in biological laboratories are specialized for researching biology... I don't know if you know what I mean."

Smiling slightly, Envy nodded "Don't worry about that, we have access to all the software in the world, we'll give you the one you want."

"All the software in the world!?"

"You yell too much for an old lady" Frowning slightly, Envy replied.

"S-sorry" Quickly lowering her gaze, Aiko replied with embarrassment.

"Come on, I'll take you where you'll stay for now and prepare what you need as soon as possible, we'll be preparing your labotary."

"T-thank you."

"What happened here..." Going down to the floor where the TV was, Elisa looked at the mess around the couch and muttered.

After that night where Christian and Emily smoked for the first time, they took to eating over and over again, causing a mess of garbage all around them.

Empty plates, a pot of potato chips lying on the side of the couch, packets of potato chips overturned on the carpet, empty soda bottles lying on the floor, and the pair asleep on the couch.

Rubbing her forehead, Elisa approached Christian and pursed her lips, then sighed and looked at the package on the coffee table.

Taking the package in her hands, Elisa raised her eyebrows as she smelled a strong odor and looked at the contents inside, causing her eyes to widen a bit more as she easily noticed what was hidden inside.

"..." Turning her gaze towards Christian, Elisa's eyes instantly turned soft as sadness passed through her eyes "Although I act normal... I guess it's impossible for you to forget what day it was yesterday..."

Elisa obviously knows that yesterday was 10 years since Ashley's death.

How could she not know?

It is one of the saddest days of her loved one and she would never forget something so important. That's why yesterday she made sure to never leave him alone and held on to him every moment she could, even keeping Helen awake longer than usual so he could clear his mind with her.

The day was relatively normal, Christian didn't seem sad and laughed with them as usual, but he never thought his sadness would be to the point where he would have to resort to this.

Elisa knows perfectly well that Christian does not enjoy drinking alcohol, much less smoking this kind of thing, much less does he enjoy smoking simple nicotine cigarettes. If he does any of that, it is simply because he wants to clear his mind and it is something she fully understands.

So now knowing that he smoked this, it brings a great sadness to her heart to realize that her beloved's pain had to reach a peak while she slept as if nothing had happened.

Biting her lips, Elisa knelt down next to Christian and set the bag aside, then reached out her hand to gently caress Christian's face.

"I hope you had a good time and that it helped you relax" Gently kissing Christian's forehead, Elisa smiled softly and stood up, then set about tidying up all the mess caused by Christian and Emily.

Feeling Elisa pull away, Christian smiled softly and opened his eyes, then stood up and stretched his muscles as he yawned.

Grabbing his cell phone from the coffee table, Christian looks at the time and mutters "12 noon..."

Turning his gaze to Emily, Christian smiles at the sight of her drooling on the couch, only to look down and notice the big ass he cuddled with the night before.

Stretching out his hand, Christian purses his lips and gently squeezes a butt cheek through his pants, then nods with satisfaction and stands up.

Pocketing his cell phone, Christian gets up and heads upstairs to the main floor, then looks around for his little girl on the way.

Arriving at the room, Christian looked at the little red-haired girl sitting on the bed while watching television.

"My little girl~"

Moving quickly towards Helen, Christian took her little body in his arms and kissed her face lovingly, then pulled her to his chest and lay down on the bed.

"Daddy..." Rubbing her cheek against Christian's chest, Helen murmured softly.

"Daddy miss you too much" Sitting Helen on his chest, Christian held her hands to keep her from falling and smiled softly "Did you miss Daddy?"

"Daddy..." Wiggling her hands, Helen freed herself from Christian's grip and grabbed him by the cheeks, then leaned in awkwardly and gently kissed his cheek.

"..." With a new twinkle in his eyes, Christian smiled broadly and did his best not to squeal with excitement, still unaccustomed in the face of his little girl's new sweetness.

Returning Helen's kiss, Christian wrapped his hands around the small of his little girl's back and commented "Tomorrow Grandma and your aunt/uncle are coming, they miss my pretty Helen very much too."

"Grandma..." Tilting her head slightly, Helen murmured.

"Yes your grandmother."

"Uncle..."

"And your aunt"

"Dad..."

"That's me."

"Helen..."

"That's you..."

"Kiss..."

"Anytime" Chuckling, Christian gently kissed his little girl's forehead, then took her back into his arms and laid her on his chest "Let daddy hold you to recharge his energies."
