The Battle Between The Geniuses
Unfortunately, the reception got cut off at that moment. All Jonathan heard was a pre-recorded
message informing him that his call could not connect to the receiver.
In a moment of rage, he slammed the phone into the hands of the commander in charge of the White
House’s internal affairs.
“What the heck! Find out what happened at the base. If anything happens to my grandchildren and
great-grandchildren, I will hold you responsible.”
The old general, who had not killed in years, widened his eyes, emitting a murderous aura.
Despite so, it was too late.
When the commander tried to get hold of the base, he realized they could no longer receive any
messages.
In other words, they had blocked the signal.
“Damn it! What the hell is Ambrose trying to do?”
Once again, the White House was in chaos because of the mother and son’s disappearance.
Little to everyone’s knowledge, the elite fighters Sebastian had sent to the base were getting
massacred by the high-tech weapons at that time.
It was an irony.
Supposedly, this place created ideas to improve the lives of humans and help the country progress.
However, it was now a hell on earth. The activation at the main gate had resulted in numerous laser
beams shooting across it, and within seconds, they took down several engineers who had toiled there
for half of their lives.
As though they were tofu, the moving red beams easily sliced through them, and they ended up in
pieces.
Indeed, the scale of destruction was terrifying, especially with technology.
“Leah! Are you crazy? What the hell are you trying to do?”
Ambrose rushed over from the control room after seeing the tragic scene unfold. He roared at the
woman who was sitting silently outside the base with a child in her arms.
There was no mistake that it was Leah, his wife.
He could no longer recognize her as she seemed more like a devil now.
“Ambrose, look at him. Doesn’t he look like our son, Shawn? He is smart and has a great talent for the
things we have studied. I’m sure he is our son,” she murmured while hugging the child.
As soon as Ambrose heard what she said, his eyes turned red with anger.
What a crazy psycho!
He quickly staggered over. However, as he was about to leave, a woman covered in blood grabbed
onto the bottom of his trousers.
She pleaded, “M-Mr. Pence, I’m begging you to save Little Ian. You are powerful… I’m sure you can
control her.”
It turned out to be Sasha. She had suffered many injuries on her body because of the laser beams.
If the men from Steelford, lying dead beside her, had not protected her, she would have been in pieces
by now.
Tears welled up in Ambrose’s bloodshot eyes.
He did not tell her that Leah was more powerful than him, and the only exception was when she
suffered a devastating blow because of their son’s death.
Subsequently, she ended up in The Substratum.
Ambrose cautiously approached her.
“Leah, listen to me. Give me the child first, please? And switch off the laser beams. Have you forgotten
that you used to play a part here too? Can you bear to see everything get destroyed here? Besides,
those people were once your colleagues.”
He tried to knock some senses into the woman as he took a few steps forward.
Despite so, she did not seem to understand the concept of sympathy.
Hearing what Ambrose had to say, she cackled with laughter.
“I’m not doing anything. Ambrose, isn’t the switch at the place where you came from?”
“Leah!” Ambrose yelled in exasperation.
He knew that the woman had replaced all the switches he had designed in this place behind his back
and had taken all control.
“If you don’t come to your senses now, I’ll die right here!”
Suddenly, the old scientist who had contributed his whole life to the nation stood up.
Shocked, Sasha painfully shrieked from behind him, “Mr. Pence, you can’t do that! Those laser beams
will cut you.”
The place where Ambrose stood was the area where most laser beams would pass through. He would
turn into a pile of minced meat in seconds if the laser beams reached him.
However, the man acted as though he heard nothing.
With a click, a fiery red laser moved toward him.
“Ambrose, do you think I will give in if you do this? Well, I’m sorry to tell you that I stopped caring about
you a long time ago when you did nothing but watch Sebastian kill our son.”
Unexpectedly, the lady did not move an inch nor comply with his request.
Sasha was taken aback.
Buzz.
When she heard the odd sound above her head, Sasha did not hesitate to stand up as she pulled the
older man down onto the floor.
Leah stammered, “W-What happened to my lasers?”
She anxiously stood up.
Sasha realized that the sound she had heard earlier was the sound of the laser beams disappearing.
What is going on?
