Chapter 100 Diamond In A Rough,

Ares 776d5, the main military Headquarter of the Delta Belt Region,

As usual, Captain Jean Carlos came out of his office after having a serious meeting on the current ongoing war between the Humans and the Angels in the Delta Belt Region and he jumped into his military vehicle and was about to hit the engine of the vehicle, but suddenly a Lieutenant Commander wearing a full set of military gown rushed toward the vehicle and saluted as he announced loudly. In Captain Jean's office, he was the desk officer responsible for tech and observation.

"At ease, Soldier! What's it? Do you have something urgent to report to me?" Captain Jean Carlos asked as he turned his head slightly at the man giving saluting at him.

"Yes, it's code yellow, sir. Relating to an incident that happened in the Woods of the City. Please have a look at this video footage." The Lieutenant Commander responded, announcing loudly. "Sir, one of the assistant chiefs of our Bureau Of Knowledge was ambushed by assassins this morning, and we identified the assassins. One was the Sniper God, and the other was the individual who had taken down the previous city lord of the Blue Moon City properly known as the code name No.1." Then he took some steps forward and showed a paper-thin screen and Captain Jean glanced at it through the side glass of his door and suddenly he was all tense on seeing the image of Bobby Bradford on the screen.

The captain abruptly opened the door of the vehicle, causing Lieutenant Commander to take a few steps back quickly. He then jumped out of the vehicle, stood on his feet steadily, and briskly snatched the paper-thin transparent screen from the hands of the Lieutenant Commander and asked, "What happened? Did the kid survive?"

"Yes, sir, later that morning, assistant Chief Bobby Bradford came to his workplace, and it's been less than 1 hour that he went to the City's Teleportation Station to drop his bodyguard there." The Lieutenant Commander responded briskly.

Captain Jean heaved a long sigh of relief as if he dodged a bullet from his head and then he said, "Then, it's all good…. Follow me. Let's discuss this matter inside my office." He then quickly rushed back inside the building and the Lieutenant Commander followed him quickly.

As Captain Jean Carlos sat on the couch in his office watching the video footage from the beginning of the road-blocking with the lumber, he signaled to the Lieutenant Commander to take a seat on the nearby couch just facing him, and the latter did so with no hesitation. He then suddenly asked, "Alright, soldier, from what I can see this footage is nearby our neighbor in the woods and why did this report just come to me now? " He was certainly asking a good question since with the high surveillance technology of their military base around its surroundings, even a simple roar of a tiger was able to be noticed right then and there.

"Sorry to report this, sir. Um, I have checked multiple times and came to only one conclusion. Someone seems to have blocked the highly advanced sensors installed inside the wood all this time, releasing them just now after around seven minutes by now. And nothing seemed wrong with our system."

Captain Jean was dumbstruck on seeing the lanky youth wearing the pair of sunglasses dodging the incoming bullets at the wee fraction of a second because in his mind the youth was still the powerless genius who didn't possess an ounce of Origin Chi inside his body. Then he continued watching all the scenes from Bobby running into the woods at an extremely agile speed while he kept dodging the precise bullets incessantly kept firing at him and then suddenly vanishing after he made the count downs of numbers and then to the fight between him and the sharpshooter, thereby killing the assassin in the process. Later he saw all that Bobby did like making a grave for the sniper and carving the last word on it and after that, he witnessed the second assassin appearing in the scene with him standing with his right foot on the top of the tallest tree around that surrounding and then Captain Jean and the Lieutenant Commander witnessed the epic battle between Bobby and the Assassin No.1 and how Bobby finally cutting the assassin into two symmetrical halves along with the black long halberd.

After that, Captain Jean Carlos saw Bobby burying the assassin and carving his tomb as if paying homage to the fun he had during the deadly match and then he saw Bobby running back to his vehicle that he left behind and the video footage ended at that moment. All of this made captain Jean Carlos finally started, seeing Bobby in a new version that he would have never imagined in his wildest dream as according to his conscience deep down, the boy was still a greenhorn genius with no power to utilize all of his beautiful minds.

Having seen all the new and wild side of the youth, Captain Jean kept pondering in his mind, thinking. "Hmm, something might have changed to him. This is not the same lad I met four months before…. And his eyes changed somehow… That time in his eyes I saw a dull and lethargic side of him but now," Then he further continued looking at the eyes of the lanky youth. "There is something burning in them like the sun in the sky and he seemed to enjoy fighting those assassins, and that wild side of him was very intriguing. This time, lad, you totally own my interest. All I can see is that he's like a really, really rough diamond, and who needs proper polishing... Hee-hee-hee. Then I'll become the one who will polish you properly, lad."

He then folded the paper-thin transparent screen and placed it on the table before him and glanced at the Lieutenant Commander and said in a soft but powerful deep tone. "Solder, can you tell with utter honesty here? Do you know if a second person saw this footage or knew about it?"

The Lieutenant Commander stood up in attention position and replied, "No sir, we are the only ones who have seen this video. I came bringing it to you, sir, just after relieving it from the mainframe of the military surveillance site."

"Then it's all good. So let's keep everything about this event a secret. You go and delete all the things that pertain to this event." Captain Jean Carlos said with a friendly smile on his face.

"Well, sir, I'll do that exactly as you instructed, right away." The Lieutenant Commander responded with all sincerity written all over his face. It was because he considered Captain Jean as his role model, a hero who successfully had driven away those angels from this place and it was his first time receiving such direct order from him, which he considered an honor. Then he saluted Captain Jean and rushed out of the room, leaving the captain alone in his room.

"There is no doubt that the boy is an actual Defect at the moment he enlisted in my unit. But these few months here changed everything. His attitude and demeanor are all okay that I knew of. The way he fought is more like a lone wolf hunting for the next prey, an extremely strong one nevertheless. Hahaha, I have been thinking of sending Chief Scarlette Channel to the battlefront of the planet of Trans-solar Exoplanet T-12. Now, here is the real opportunity I will send the lad instead this time, and we will see how strong and fearless he can become as a worrier." Captain Jean Carlos whispered under his breath, talking to himself and sometimes smiling from time to time as revision the way Bobby fought with the two assassins, especially the last one.

After leaving his office building, he climbed into the driver's seat of his military vehicle and began to roll down the road, but he was not driving in the direction of his quarter, but in the opposite direction. The vehicle soon drove out of the military site, entered the woods, and stopped just before the ambush point.

He then walked out of the vehicle and looked around and found the bullets that were embedded on the cobblestone and then he followed the trail of the earlier Bobby ran, into the woods and collected all the bullets, collecting them on his backpack, and then he continued following all the way to the foot of the small elephant hump-shaped hill and saw the two tombs of the assassins and he read the words carved on both of them and he was amused with the bold words carved on them and his lips lifted on both ends as he grinned and said, "Hahaha... This lad is exactly like me, and I believe with this currently hidden storm approaching, our human side needs someone like him."
