Neurolink System in the Modern World-Chapter 318: Secret Master
As his words hung in the air, the atmosphere in the room shifted to a serious tone. The topic was very sensitive, and the mere mention of the history of that bloodline was enough to instill fear in everyone present, except for Zhang.
It was a bloodline that had once conquered Asia during ancient times, killing so many that an entire era was wiped out in history.
"That's impossible. Zero has been imprisoned by us for decades, and it's been proven that females from that bloodline could not bear a child. We have no records indicating that he had a son with another woman, " One of the members protested. They had in-depth knowledge about this bloodline.
Even though it was a powerful bloodline, only the males had the ability to reproduce, and their chances were almost non-existent. This limitation had gradually weakened the bloodline over time. If not for this constraint, they might have already conquered the whole world.
"But how do you explain her ability? We've reviewed the videos, and with our scanner, it's been proven that she was able to control that origin energy," Dr. Taiper responded.
This revelation made all the people present more anxious. Origin Energy was an invisible energy that was ever-present on Earth. They called it Origin Energy because being able to control it allowed an individual to control almost anything.
"What about the person I fought?" Zhang inquired, eager to understand if that individual shared a connection to that bloodline.
"The test result is not out yet. I hope he is not one of them," Dr. Taiper sighed, visibly stressed.
As an expert in this field, he was well-acquainted with the history of those merciless people. Calling them crazy was an understatement.
"This is bad. If they really survived and have been hiding all along, there's a chance they might try to destroy the world again. We need to find a way to locate the remaining survivors and kill them. Those monsters must be wiped out for the sake of humanity!" Another person chimed in.
"We all agree on that. That's why we must capture this girl alive, so we can interrogate her," Dr. Taiper nodded in agreement.
"You should have captured that guy alive," his attention shifted to Zhang.
"Easy for you to say; that man could kill me if I held back," Zhang shook his head. They were asking for too much. He was the one who fought, so he knew how close that fight was.
"Let's just let the US handle it. I'm sure they could do something about it," one member suggested, seeing that Zhang was getting pissed off . freēnovelkiss.com
Dr. Taiper did not respond immediately and took a moment to gather his thoughts.
"They are asking us for more of that "thing", claiming that it's our responsibility so we need to pay them," he replied.
BAM!
The member who suggested pushing the responsibility to US slammed the table in annoyance. What they were asking for was a very rare material that they couldn't just give away like that.
"Those greedy motherfuckers!" He gritted his teeth in anger. Among all the Cerebrum Branches, Asia had always been the weakest, and the United States and Europe had been bullying them.
If people believe the United States only bullies other countries for oil, that's far from the truth. In the shadows, they wanted to acquire everything through force. While China is economically stronger now, the Western powers were boldly amassing weapons as if there's no tomorrow.
As for their economy? They don't care about it. In fact, they just kept borrowing money because they knew no one was stupid enough to ask for the whole payment.
'You want us to pay? Here is fat check called "Freedom,"'
They could do nothing about it. Even their strongest agent, Zhang, would be no match against the fifth strongest in the United States. They had considered using Zero to elevate their power status before, but he was already weak when he decided to surrender to them.
The meeting continued, and debates started to escalate.
In the end, they had no choice but to give in to the request of the United State. The thing they were asking for was a very important and rare resource that could only be produced in limited quantities every year, so this concession would undoubtedly hurt them in the long run.

The next day
Four Seasons Hotel, a majestic structure in the Seoul night skyline, loomed with extravagance. Its exterior gleamed with a modern sheen, reflecting the exclusivity held within it.
Today, the air within the hotel was very lively. Every corner exhaled refinement, from the plush carpets underfoot to the ornate chandeliers overhead.
"Thank you for inviting me here," a 50-year-old man, clad in a sharp black suit, expressed gratitude after shaking hands with a beautiful lady.
"It's our pleasure, Judge Wong," the lady replied with a warm smile. The man before her was a powerful figure, holding the esteemed position of regional judge in Korea, so she gave her with the respect he deserved .
His presence, however, was just one among many influential individuals gathered at this exclusive event, each owning significant wealth or holding prestigious positions within the government.
"I hope you will enjoy the night," the beautiful lady smiled and whispered something to him.
As Judge Wong caught the melodious tones of her voice, a subtle but discernible change swept across his face.
"I understand," he replied with a smile.
Quickly, he moved to engage with the other attendees, and like a ripple effect, their demeanor shifted one by one after hearing his words. It must have been a very important topic for them to react at such.
As the party kicked off, more and more people joined in. Waiters moved around, offering snacks and drinks to the guests.
The main table was also loaded with delicious dishes, offering a feast for the senses. Platters of succulent lobster tails and jumbo shrimp, freshly prepared sushi rolls, and trays of juicy prime rib and tender filet mignon filled the space.
"Welcome, Master," a collective greeting echoed as the doors swung open, revealing a person of great status. At the same time, everyone, regardless of their own status, bowed their heads in a respectful welcome to the distinguished guest.
