In the Portal District is a familiar and beautiful woman that's currently enjoying her day off. This is obviously Elizabeth.
Elizabeth is wearing a formal suit so she can appear business ready and she has a pair of non-corrective glasses to cover her eyes. Make up is properly applied on her face and she both looks professional and beautifully deadly.
She prepared herself for her business today.
Now... Where to start? Should I go back to the nuclear plant? No that would be stupid. He said he'll come to me anyway. Should I just wait?
After a few minutes of waiting, a train arrives and Elizabeth enters it.
While Elizabeth is thinking of where to find Spark, she is actually going somewhere important but not connected to cultivators.
Elizabeth takes a seat inside the spacious train and relaxes.
She looks up and sees a screen saying.
*10 Minutes to Evolution District*
Elizabeth looks down at her phone and remembers the article she saw earlier.
A company called Gate To The Future has finally managed to replicate the nuclear mutation that happened after the nuclear war.
They experimented on animals first and the results were amazing.
When the nuclear war ended and the world settled, monstrous creatures started appearing. These creatures came from the multiple fallout wastelands from the nuclear war all over the world.
These creatures were unnamed at first but ever since humanity managed to rebuild itself, they've been called evo beasts.
For a very long time, humanity thought that evo beasts can only be born from the nightmarish landscapes of the nuclear fallouts but finally, humanity has managed to replicate its effects.
Elizabeth smiles.
If they can replicate the first evo beasts, they may be able to one day create artificial meta humans.
After hearing about it, Elizabeth couldn't help but submit a day off form request and go there. Thankfully, she barely takes a day off, so it was easily approved.
Elizabeth can't help but be excited. Despite being a cultivator, she can't help but check it out. It is a habit after all.
"~We are arriving at Evolution District Train station. Please check all of your belongings and train card.~"
The generic announcement snaps Elizabeth out of her train of thought and she stands up.
Once the train reaches the station, Elizabeth exits and immediately walks towards the gateway.
She ignores the looks going her way.
While Elizabeth is used to people staring at her, lately it's been increasingly annoying. Ever since Elizabeth increased her beauty through the herb baths and intake of natural energies, more men have started staring at her.
The most annoying part is that a lot of them are becoming braver and started approaching her.
Fortunately, a sharp glare from the goddess of the police sends most men running.
"Miss! You dropped something!"
*Sigh*
It's these type of men that annoys her the most.
Elizabeth turns around and sees a young man wearing a stunning suit running towards her with a confident look and a golden smile.
Elizabeth internally rolls her eyes and impatiently taps her foot on the ground.
Elizabeth doesn't have all day but she can't be rude and this might be important.
Once the man reaches Elizabeth, he starts to pant a little from the running.
In his hand is a small piece of paper.
Elizabeth looks at it a little confused.
"Miss I think this belongs to you."
Elizabeth sighs and takes the paper. The first thing she sees is a phone number written in along with a name.
Carlo Simmons.
Simmons.... That sounds familiar.
The man gives Elizabeth his best smile.
"I'm sure that belongs to you. That person must be very interesting for you to take that number. After all, you are drop-dead gorgeous."
The man pretends to die without falling down.
Elizabeth can't help but frown.
While sarcastically smiling, Elizabeth gives the man her facade smile and the man practically swoons.
Before the man could say anything, Elizabeth walks away.
"Hey!"
Elizabeth ignores the man and quickly throws the paper away when no one is looking.
Do all men act this way? No I'm sure there are better men out there. William isn't like this after all... Or is he?
Elizabeth shoves the event earlier away from her mind, as she focuses on her plan.
Elizabeth managed to get ahold of Gate to the Future earlier through a phone call and the management would appreciate the visit of a Rielle family member, after all they're a very prominent family.
They don't have to know I'm no longer a part of them.
----------------------------------------
In an empty black room is a man using a non-descript laptop. He's currently talking to the laptap through a technologically advanced headset and mic.
The black silhouette of a burly man is on the laptop's screen. It seems the man on the other side is hiding themselves.
A rough and masculine voice comes from the man as he speaks.
"Agent Karthen, your mission is to infiltrate Gate to The Future and get a copy of their files. We can no longer afford to destroy them due to the public knowing a lot about them. Agent Lakes is currently in his super power comatose and the other lord ranks are busy. We've decided to entrust this to the newer agents. This will be your first test. If you fail, do not get captured. If you are captured, you will die."
This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
Karthen gulps and nods seriously. This is his first mission and while he is a mob ranked meta human, he will be greatly rewarded if he succeeds. With the rewards he can get, he might even reach beast rank.
"Yes sir! I will succeed this mission!"
The man on the laptop nods lightly and the connection cuts.
Once the man is gone Karthen frowns. While his mission will provide him good resources if he succeed, lord ranks and above have been pulled out from missions. This all started due to agent Lakes' report concerning the two lord ranks he killed that used a mysterious substance.
Karthen sighs and starts to prepare for his mission.
----------------------------------------
A large and expensive complex comes into view, as Elizabeth finally reaches her destination.
The complex is a huge reinforced concrete building that's sprawling all over the area. It's main entrance has a transparent glass window so people can see its interior.
Meta human guards patrol the inside and outside of the complex.
"I'm finally here!"
Elizabeth's appearance looks immaculate, as she immediately attracts attention.
People start watching her but before anyone could start approaching her, a female wearing a labcoat accompanied by 4 men meets her halfway.
The 4 men behind her is so full of awe and reverence towards her.
They must have complete loyalty towards her.
Once they meet, the woman stretched her arm in greeting and Elizabeth takes it.
"Ms. Rielle, it is a pleasure to meet you. I am Dr. Claire Galen, one of the head scientists of the lab. I have a partner but he is occupied."
Claire looks annoyed at that last part.
The Rielle family is a very powerful group of people and they created an image that makes them appear snobbish and pridedul.
Elizabeth remembers her extremely proud father and how every time he brought her to the hospital to take her DMH, he would not give notice to the people trying to get his attention.
And most of all, she remembers his facial expression when they found out that she failed her DMH at her last year.
Full of utter disdain.
Elizabeth shakes the painful memory and immediately adopts a cold prideful expression. Oliver's facial expression flashes in her mind and she can't help but chuckle.
That man is really infuriating. He hasn't appeared over a week now.
Elizabeth can't help but be both worried and angry at Peter. He gave her an amazing time yet he's obviously hiding something from her.
"Ms. Rielle?"
Elizabeth snaps out of her thoughts and she returns to reality. Claire is waiting for her to speak.
"I'm so-"
No Apologies! You're a Rielle!
Even for only a short while.
"I was thinking. Anyway carry on. I want to see your project."
Claire nods and says "Would it be okay for you to wait a little miss? There is another person that will be joining the tour."
Elizabeth pretends to frown and sigh which gets some annoyed looks from the 4 men with her.
Claire immediately glares at them angrily and they stop.
"I will allow it."
Claire smiles.
"You can wait with us in the waiting room."
Elizabeth considers her suggestion and shakes her head .
"I will wait in the lobby."
Without waiting for their response Elizabeth starts walking towards the building's entrance.
"Let's go."
Claire hesitates for only a second but she follows Elizabeth. It seems she's used to these types of people.
The building's glass doors open for Elizabeth and she immediately reaches the lobby.
Once in, Elizabeth attracts the attention of everyone in the room. If one dropped a pin the whole room would hear it.
Elizabeth ignores the stares and she looks for a comfortable seat.
She didn't notice the man seating on the lobby couches but she can't let her cover be blown, so she continues.
She stops in front of the man and stares at him.
The man notices a change in the atmosphere and looks up.
The thing he sees is utterly world shattering.
A beautiful goddess that's angrily staring down at him and her angry look doesn't diminish her beauty. Instead it's accentuating other parts of her beauty.
"Get off."
The man suddenly returns to his senses.
He starts to speak but only garbled speech comes out and he embarrasses himself.
"Uhh... Why... Sh-"
He clamped his mouth before he could embarrass himself more.
"Look she silenced her with a single look."
"That girl must be some power person to scare the CEO"
"Yeah even the CEO is scared speechless."
What?
...
Welp, no going back now
Elizabeth doesn't let herself be peturbed and continues her facade.
"Sir!" Claire immediately goes by my side and immediately calls to the man.
The man recognizes Claire as one of his main scientists and he finally manages to return to his original state.
He speaks with a haughty voice with a little bit of shattered ego.
"Claire! Who is this self important bitch!"
Elizabeth reflexively raises her eyebrow.
Claire looks apologetic and says.
"Sir..."
Claire's face looks like it'll fall off.
"What?! Why are you looking at me like that!"
The CEO got a little more incensed when Claire didn't immediately answer.
Before he could continue pestering the poor girl, Elizabeth speaks.
"I said move. Didn't you hear me?"
The CEO stares at Elizabeth incredulously. The CEO starts to speak again but Elizabeth beats him to it.
"Do you know who I am?"
Claire and the room stares.
The CEO stands up and stares down Elizabeth.
Elizabeth stares back at him unwaveringly.
'What is this! This woman has no energy fluctuations yet she's acting so haughty!'
While it isn't obvious, the CEO is a successful mid level squad rank and if he wasn't focused on his business he might have reached beast rank but the fact that he couldn't feel Elizabeth's energy scares him.
After all if there's a too large difference, levels can no longer be felt by the one below the other.
'Don't tell me... She's normal?'
Even if the CEO guessed correctly he has the responsibility of a high ranking executive and he can't simply attack a guest, no matter how prideful they are.
Elizabeth pretends to yawn, as if extremely bored. Her appearance looks extremely sluggish and she seems to look a little pale.
The CEO notices and says.
"You must be some bigshot to talk to me like this! With the technology of my people, I will revolutionize the world! You think some rich girl like you can act like this in front of me."
Claire lightly agrees with the CEO's sentiment but her scared face seems like she doesn't agree.
After all, the Rielle family houses one of the most powerful Meta humans to date and is a major player in the city arms race.
While all of this commotion is happening, Elizabeth just found out an important and shocking revelation.
Ever since Elizabeth learned the Mortal Fist martial technique from Master Bai, she's been constantly experimenting with it.
Transferring it all over her body.
Constantly charging at the expense of pain.
But most of all, she's been compressing it.
Eventually after all her efforts, she has succeeded.
This realization came after she managed to constantly create a large amount of kinetic force through charging and constantly compress it thus reducing the pain.
The result was that she could create a dense and separate ball of kinetic energy.
This means.
Mortal Fist can infinitely stack strength as long as it is given time.
But this newfound power wasn't infallible. Elizabeth also found some grave weaknesses.
One example is that if she charges a too large amount of power, she'll destroy her body if she uses that power.
Second, if she takes a powerful amount of kinetic force, the compressed balls of energy inside her would implode further damaging her.
Third, she can only create a limited amount of energy balls, specifically three.
Elizabeth was so engrossed in her experiment that she was ignorant of the situation surrounding her. She completely forgot about her act and the CEO.
Inside her body is currently two medium sized balls of pure energy.
These two spheres of energy is already charged up to deal 6x her current punching strength.
If she were to use them, she would be able to momentarily release a burst of strength.
"Don't ignore me!"
The CEO's shout snaps Elizabeth out of her preoccupation and she reenters bitch mode.
Her face looks back at the CEO and he almost bursts out of anger.
"Sir! This is Ms. Rielle!"
The CEO is surprised by Claire'a sudden shout but he calms himself. He's momentarily afraid but he remembers his position.
'Even a family member of the Rielle will have to surrender to me. Once my technology is perfected, even the most powerful organizations will slave just to have me work for them.'
"Are you still here? I've wanted to take a seat since earlier."
'WHAT ARROGANCE!'
The CEO weighs his options. He could make this proud girl leave but he'll lose a possible sponsor.
Or he could give her the seat but at the cost of face.
The CEO grumbles but he walks away.
After calculating the risks, the CEO concluded that it's not a good idea to antagonize a powerful family such as the Rielle for now.
Elizabeth smiles and immediately sits down.
The CEO looks at Elizabeth one last time before leaving. He gives Claire a glance that says 'make sure she's impressed to the point of speechlessness'.
Claire responds in earnest.
"Ms. Rielle we will need to wai-"
Claire's words are suddenly stopped as a shriek of joy erupts.
*Kyaahhh!*
Elizabeth and Claire looks towards the entrance and sees a beautiful limosine drop a young and handsome man.
Dozena of women and even men start to crowd over him.
The man is accompanied by 2 bodyguards. He enters the building while his bodyguards prevent the mob from trampling all over him.
The young man suddenly speaks with inborn confidence.
"Do not worry my beauties! All of you are my loves! Do not be discouraged! I am sure you will find someone out there that's just at least like me."
The people cheer for him.
Elizabeth ignores him and returns to experimenting.
Another child of heaven huh?
Why am I using such old words... My dreams are influencing me again.
Claire meets the man halfway and leads him towards Elizabeth.
Elizabeth doesn't notice the man's look as she continues to experiment.
"Oh it's you! My goddess!"
Who?
When Elizabeth looks up and takes a good look on the male in front of her.
She sees a 6'2 male with golden blonde hair and blue eyes. His suit is definitely branded and his other items are top class as well. He has a young face and a well defined smile.
"Ms. Rielle, this is Carlo Simmons, the heir to the Core Suits Corporations."
