Chapter 63 - Elena's hope (1)

"What are you saying?" Freja growled while calling one of the officers. 

"This morning we have received an order to release Pierre Therma immediately," an officer said. 

"From who?" Freja asked, furious.

"From the Minister of Defense, ma'am," Freja was in shock after hearing the name. 

"Was it a fake? Did you check its validity?" Freja enraged. 

"Yes, ma'am, we checked, the document is real," the officer explained.

"Where is my son? Did you call him?" Freja asked about his son.

"He's not replied to any, ma'am." Feeja shut the call and rushed out to the Granitz camp. 

 

Pierre was released early this morning. I had made a huge debt now - he thought. Last night, he sent a message to Neuer von König, the president's brother. Pierre and the König's brother are childhood friends. His brother was now the minister of Science and Defense faculty. Pierre did not want to admit but this made him have privilege. He hated to owe this family, especially the younger brother. But Elena's situation was much more serious than his internal conflict. After being released, Pierre went back to his place, searching for Elena. No sign of her. He then brought up a console and connected to the main computer. This allowed him to identify Elena's last location before the signal disappeared. 

"Found it" 

"Feta's house" 

 

He then called for a car and rushed back to the Granitz camp.

At the Feta's house, in Elena's room, Karl was sleeping on Elena's bed. Beside him, Elena was there. Several red patches were found on many parts of her body. Elena slept, breathing heavily. Her lower part could see something leaking out everywhere. Her pinkish lip is now covered with the same thing. Karl woke up. He dressed chilly and looked over his product last night. "You were incredible as always, Elle." Karl smiled while looking over Elena's strengthless body. "Let's continue again tonight," Karl whispered. no response from Elena. 

 

He walked out of his room, checked his schedule for today, and saw a lot of missed calls from his mom and subordinate. He wondered what was happening while he spent time with Elena. He called back to his mom. A moment later, his mom picked up. 

 

"What are you doing?" Freja said, seriously

"I was sleeping, something happened?" Karl asked. 

"Pierre was released while you were sleeping." Karl paused. "The order came from the minister." Karl was more confused. How and why the prime minister knows about all of this. "I don't know how he knew about this, but you must be careful," Freja said. "Pierre must be coming after you or Elena," Freja warned her son. "Don't worry, Mom, he won't know that soon," Karl said, chilly. "Anyways, I will try to talk with Minister Konig," Freja said, and the call ended. That guy was released - Karl thought. He made another call, "hey, it's me," Karl said. "Bring that arm to my house now," Karl ended the call. He must prepare in case Pierre comes to his house. Although he saw him as a nerd, the disappearance of two of his subordinates told Karl that he must beware of that guy. He then went back to prepare for Pierre's arrival. 

 

 

"May I talk with Minister Konig?" Freja asked someone at the end politely. 

"Who is talking?" 

"Freja Feta, a chief engineer at FRI on Granitz island," she replied. 

"We will inform Mr. Konig. Please hold the line." 

 

"Hello, Miss Feta, this is Neuer." Neuer picked up the call; his voice was mature, calm, steady.

"I have a question to ask you, sir," Freja said. 

"Keep it short and simple," Duke told her.

"Why did you order us to release Pierre?" Freja said. 

"I shall expect this. Because the detention of Pierre was invalid," Duke said. "Can you enlighten me?" Freja asked. "He was arrested for using voice transmutation over the FRI building," Neuer said. "Granitz camp had nothing to do with this, so why was he jailed there?" Freja silent. "For the time being, he will be suspended from FRI for 3 weeks, " Neuer said. "I cannot accept that' Freja against him "Miss Feta, I don't need your opinion," Duke said tensely. Freja had no words left. "This is it, I have to end the call." The call then ended with Freja blank.

Pierre arrived at the front door of Feta's house. He was calm, focused, and determined. No one could stop him. "I want to meet Elena Ornstein," he said through the intercom. "Sorry, sir, she is…" A voice did not finish his sentence. Pierre controls the door to open using his watch. He walked straight to where the radar led him. Guards came out. He switched his watch to "Focus" mode. This mode allowed him to increase his reflex time to 20 ms. Everything around him looks slower, and he can react faster. He can also focus his vision to predict the movement by looking at the motion or propagation of synapses. Guardswere coming out with machine guns; he could barely see the projectiles, so he dodged them when they were close enough. Using his movement he got close to the guards and uppercutted all of them. Strong enough to knock down everyone in a single punch. No more guards came out. He walked into the house. 

 

"Where is Elena?" Pierre asked one of the maids, and she tried to stab him with a knife. He grabbed her wrist and broke it. Another butler came behind, he used the maid to block, and the butler stabbed her. The butler was in shock. Pierre kicked the butler to his ear. Blood flowed to the ground. The luxurious wooden floor was covered with blood and bodies. Pierre continued to follow the radar. He stopped in front of Elena's room. He scanned the inside using the watch, projecting the high-resolution image. Two people stood there. He then opened.
