He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact-Chapter 32. Terror Surge Syndicate 3

Just when Angela finished speaking she didn’t even waste a second .

Her figure blurred ,then she disappeared.

Kailen didn’t question her, following in her footsteps,having ignored the car he had bought. He was strong,but not overconfident ,he could just purchase another car later,but he only had one life.

A special ops agent that was experienced enough to deduce beeping sounds were that of a bomb ,then disappear right after warning the crowd without making any attempt to play superhero, obviously deemed the threat of the bomb extremely lethal and had probably deduced that it would go off in the next few seconds.

Proving his deduction true, just as they had bolted quite a distance away from the Maple square, a booming sound akin to that of an explosion resounded in their ears ,drawimg their gazes towards the direction of the sounds,as the noticed mushroom clouds forming in the atmosphere.

Massive screams tinged with overtones of terror resounded in the distance ,the sky assuming a slightly crimson demeanor .

" Damnation,that bomb can even harm an S ranked awakener . I can’t imagine the kind of genocide that has occured at Maple Square. Just how did these bastards manage to land their hands on something that is only produced in the military?"

Angela cursed as she stared into the distance staring at the mushroom clouds,her expression incredulous.

Kailen’s eyes lit up with surprise " A bomb that could harm an S ranked awakener?"

Angela chuckled at the slight change of expression from the look in his eyes " S ranked are not harmless. How do you think the Federation Law Enforcement Agency deal with some serious criminals that are S ranked?. Its not just with the Strength of S ranked,stuff such as S ranked crafted weapons, such as swords, bombs etc,plays a role "

Kailen maintained a calm disposition at her words, however his eyes betrayed him due to the subtle expression of shock it revealed " S ranked bombs?, weapons. Then can’t they be used in the war against the diabolic beasts?"

" These weapons cannot be easily reproduced. Lots of resources and wealth are needed to craft them ,so only a few of them exist. This is why they’ve not made that much of a difference in the war with the diabolic beasts. Considering the large number of S ranked diabolic beasts roaming the world,do you think a few weapons can make a difference ?"

Angela sighed,at humanity’s helplessness .

Kailen nodded, she had a point though. However his eyes had been opened today , it seemed the Federation government could really not be underestimated.

They had what it took to keep S ranked who went too far under control. He had to be careful to not get on their bad side.

He was confident that with the system’s help, he would grow extremely strong in not a long time. However no matter how strong he became, it would be senseless to find trouble with the Federation Government if they didn’t mess with him. After all, they were strong . Also,his goal was to give the diabolic beasts a taste of their own medicine,not to go around messing with the Federation government ,as long as they didn’t mess with him.

He focused on a more pressing matter after those train of thoughts " If the deranged awakeners got their hands on an S ranked bomb,then it means someone in the military could be helping them out"

Angela sighed then nodded . If Kailen’s conjecture was true,which was highly likely ,then it seemed this Terror Surge Syndicate probably had deep roots in the Federation.

" This is really troublesome " A worried expression appeared on her face.

" At least we have a lead " Kailen added.

" But how do we find him? " Angela sighed, then added .

" You can have your team run some checks on him. Follow surveillance footages ,to locate where he was last spotted in this city?" Kailen suggested .

Angela nodded " Seems you are more cooperative ,and have a mind for this job than I thought young man"

Kailen shook his head, there was no way he would tell her he was only being cooperative because the time dilation artifact had influenced him to do so.

" Seen a few movies. Hit me up in case of anything related to the Terror Surge Syndicate "

" Will do, teammates and I will celebrate finally finding a lead after ten years today. You could join us, I’ll introduce you to them,then we’ll have some barbecue ,get to know them?"

" Don’t do friends, don’t think I ever will"

" Alright young man,your loss. Anyway will you participate in the college entrance exams?"

" Not really"

" A pity" Angela exchanged contacts with Kailen,then stared at his dissapearing back.

" A pity, he could have brought glory to the academy"

Little did she know that Kailen had said he won’t participate because of the special recommendation he had received.

" But at least ,thanks to him,I have some closure ,the Terror Surge Syndicate really do exist, and I’ve not been crazy for the past ten years . It’s time to find that bastard who owned the black market. But for now, I need to grill some barbecue"

Angela took her phone ,dialed a number.

" Boss, have you seen the news, the black market just got -"

"Yeah, saw it .was there when the bomb went off"

" What?"

" Long story. Gather the others and let’s all meet at the base, we have a lead,that calls for barbecue"

*****

Kailen sighed as he stared at the ceiling .

Terror Surge Syndicate , " Just how am I connected to this organization. System? Any help?"

[ Why do you call me system?. I’m not a system you know. You gave me that name. Tsk!]

" But you call me host?"

[ That’s because you called me system in the first place!. Is that not what the system in those novels you earthlings read call their hosts?]

" This... So what do you want me to call you?"

[ I’m a time dilation artifact]

" Do you actually expect me to believe you are simply an artifact ?"

The time dilation artifact went silent for a while, clearly not expecting Kailen to blurt out those words ,then voiced .

[ Believe what you want,call me what you want Tsk!.]

"Classic misdirection, I touched a nerve err. But seriously,won’t you tell me anything about the Terror Surge Syndicate?"

[If you cannot solve these little problems on your own, then it would mean I picked the wrong person .Tsk!]

" Right. Looks I’m on my own concerning this then. At least we have a lead. In case of anything, the Principal will contact me, for now, let’s just focus on becoming stronger. Also, the time Dilation Artifact used the word earthlings again... Huh .. interesting"

Kailen thoughts lingered slightly on the fact that ,the time dilation artifact also mentioned something about picking him when it made the statement that if he couldn’t solve these little problems on his own,then it picked the wrong person .

" Seems my conjecture that there’s a purpose the time dilation artifact has for me is proven. But for what exactly was I picked? .

Never mind, let’s just focus on getting stronger"

With that,the young man donned in his pajamas , drifted off. Like any other day of being a calamity magnet,today’s events had taking a toll on him mentally, he needed the rest.

****

A black haired boy of about 11 years stood before an older man with a healthy physique.

The boy seemed to resemble the man closely, as though he were a smaller version of the older male. They were completely alike .

The two were donned in some sort of gym wear, standing in a courtyard at the back of a house.

The boy held a katana that complemented his small physique,panting heavily with small bruises across his face.

The man seemed unharmed. Clearly, it was obvious that in whatever exchange has transpired between them, the man had won.

" You seem to have improved son. In a few years time , I’m sure you’ll be able to contend with me"

The man walked towards the boy with an affectionate smile, patting his head affectionately.

" Tsk ,dad,you say that because you enjoy beating me up everyday !"

The boy threw a tantrum.

" Oh come on, like I always say, even if you don’t become an awakener when you turn sixteen ,at least, as a normal person, you will have some normal means of self defence right? . If you manage to awaken too, you won’t have to go through the stress of training in how to use a sword type weapon, especially if you go for a katana"

" Heard that million times dad. I’ll take your word for it. Just you watch , I’ll beat you up one day!"

" Kailen , Honey, food is ready " A feminine voice resounded in their ears from inside the house,causing smiles to appear on their faces.

" It’s lasagna day right?"

" Yeah my favorite "

Quickly the two headed inside,it was time to eat.

***

Kailen’s eyes drifted open, a melancholic expression in his eyes.

" I miss them so much I’m dreaming about the past. I won’t cry any more, I miss them but I’ve mourned them enough" However ,his eyes told an entirely different story,they were moist. Before the tears fell,he managed to hold it in. No more crying, he thought. That wouldn’t make him strong!. He had to become strong to avenge their deaths.

Kailen jolted out of the bed, about to head into the washroom.

Ding!

[ The one month period is up. Would you like to enter the time dialtion artifact now?]

" About time "
