So, he had once more altered his career from a considerably less well-known version of DC Iron Man to a wizard with the aid of another game. This completely changed the life for him because Harry Potter's wizardry was so practical and helpful to him in so many ways, especially with storage. He no longer needed to carry a backpack because he could simply add more space to a bag and use the stretching curse to make any existing objects magical.
And he was able to raise several Venomous Tentacula on an island using only this magic. The plant was risky, but he had chosen it after doing numerous tests. It was picked mostly because it was a very deadly plant that could easily harm people because to its poisonous tendrils and acid-shooting flycatcher-like mouth.
To demonstrate the potency of this plant's combat abilities, it was used in combat in the game. And even if someone managed to approach and gather some of the plant's "berries," they would never be able to harvest it. Because humanity in this world lacked the necessary magic to harvest anything from Venomous Tentacula.
So it was already a lost cause for the CIA or any other consortium which might try to get their hands on the 'berries'. Of course, in DPRK, the genuine berries were always protected and constantly watched after. In order to turn the folks who had come seeking his "berries" into clowns, Robin had prepared a huge stage for them.
After meeting them, the two Brotherhood scientists led them to the cabin.
"For the expedition, you will need to don an unique outfit." A man wearing a lab coat said.
"Special gear?" Jonathan didn't understand. "This isn't a trip of any kind. We merely came to snap pictures and observe the vegetation."
"Count on me for this. Don the equipment. Later on, you'll thank me." After placing his hand on his shoulder, Robin remarked. Sigret and Myrene had already begun donning the safety equipment. Even though Cathrin didn't understand why she had to change for a little plant, she went with them to the side room to do it nonetheless.
As Jonathan noticed Robin donning the same attire, he was unable to think of a cause to object and followed suit, as did the bodyguards.
After changing for five minutes, everyone looked like they were leaving on an adventure near a volcano. The only difference was that the outfit was smaller and prevented them from seeming to be an inflated silver alien.
Still holding guns in their hands were the two bodyguards, and the two researchers had weapons as well. The plants were extremely hostile, and once after Robin had escorted them to see the Venomous Tentacula, they didn't even bother to look at them. After witnessing how these plants had almost killed them, they were too terrified. It was Robin who used Kyne's peace (Dragon Shout to make any sentient being be peace for a period of time ) shout to make the plants calm down and not harm anyone. The little team left after confirming that everything was in its proper place, and after several minutes of wandering, Jonathan was able to locate the "plant" he had been looking for. The moment he caught the first glimpse, he practically sprung to his feet. Venomous Tentacula had an awful appearance, but more importantly, this plant was moving independently.
"This is the plant that you came all the way for."
The bodyguards, who were already on high alert, wasted no time in firing a hail of shots at the plant when it shot its vines from underground and tightly ringed Jonathan's leg before he could even get a clear look at it. Once the vine that was firmly clinging on to Jonathan's leg lost its power source, it let go of his foot.

"What the hell is this, Mr. Kashyap?"
"This is the plant that gives the berries. We gather the berries from those mouths, which are green and crimson in colour." Robin stated that it was a lie in a completely serious tone without even blinking.
"Mr. Kashyap, you must be kidding." Jonathan was stunned and had taken a few steps backwards after becoming tangled in the vine. He was alarmed. On the side of his foot, he could already make out the purple "liquid," and he knew right away that it was toxic.
How is it possible that such a hideous living thing could produce berries? Didn't these plants only exist in stories? Why was he actually seeing them?
"I didn't bring you this far just to make you laugh. I don't have that much time." Robin shook his head and retorted. In fact, after seeing the vines, Cathrin also backed up and grabbed hold of Robin's hand out of fear. Jonathan wasn't the only one. Even she found it difficult to believe what she was seeing.
"How is that even possible? Does such kind of plants really exist?" With a trembling voice, Cathrin questioned.
"Of course they do, aren't you looking at them right now?" Whatever they were witnessing, Robin assured them, was real. "If you think that this false and I have duped you with technology, you can fire at this plant and see if the plant is real or not." Robin pushed a dare. Jonathan was surprised by this suggestion. He believed that all of this was a plot to deceive the CIA and that this was some sort of mechanical plant created by robots.
"Would you let us do that?" Jonathon enquired.
"Yes, you may use your drone to capture images and fire at them. You will always be protected by your suit; only be careful not to become too tangled, or no one will be able to save you." said Robin. Jonathan trusted the man's statement and told his security to fire at the plant. And then they used their AR rifles to shoot a full magazine at the plant.
Jonathan was interested in learning whether the plant was a robot, but after wasting two magazines on the Venomous Tentacula, he was greatly let down. He was able to break many of the plant's branches, leaves, and numerous mouths, but in the end he was able to witness the plant's incredibly quick regeneration process as it regenerated new branches and other parts in a matter of seconds. Jonathan was really horrified.
He and Cathrin had really never seen such plant in their life, even the bodyguards were shook-eth. This was unheard of.
"Mr. Kashyap if it's really the plant that gives the berries, how do you even harvest them?" Jonathan questioned this because it was impossible for anyone to take anything from the plant without getting wounded. It was very dangerous.
"That is the trade secret. I don't mind you looking for berries, but my business would never divulge any information about how they were harvested. I can give you some of this plant's seeds so you may investigate on your own." said Robin. This shocked Jonathan because he had anticipated an obstacle if he had attempted to collect the berries, but he had not anticipated the roadblock to be in this particular manner. He wasn't told how to gather the berries, but he was allowed to take the seeds? There was clearly a trap here.
He actually didn't believe that this venomous and dangerous plant would be able to give such miraculous berries, but then again he wasn't some kind of agricultural scientist so he wasn't sure as of yet so he couldn't outright call out Robin's bullshit. Even though he could have believed otherwise, he gladly accepted the offer to remove the seeds.
"Mr. Kashyap, would you mind if we look around the island and see if there are other kinds of plants?" Jonathon enquired.
"Knock yourself out." Robin ignored the three as he turned around and headed in the opposite direction. He was merely buying himself some time. Robin was confident that they would quickly learn from their months-long research that the plant didn't actually contain any miracle berries.
Even without the research, scientists would have a difficult time even comprehending the plant. And by the time they were certain that everything was a lie, it would be too late.
"Sorry that you had to see this." Robin said to Cathrin as he felt that she must be pretty shaken by what she had seen. Robin was taken aback by Cathrin's response.
"No.. No.. This was the best thing I had seen in my life. I got to witness those plants today, which I've only ever seen in movies and a few video games. This was incredible." Cathrin responded, and Robin could see the screen guard's eyes, which appeared to be truly thrilled by what they had seen.
Robin felt the urge to kiss her right then but couldn't do so because of the suit. They went back to the cabins to get the suit out, while the scientists had followed the three men from before in order to make sure that these people from CIA didn't get hurt.
