Chapter 388 The Stone
"After diluting the solution several more times, it was only
that we finally succeeded in having a white mouse that had been injected with
the solution to survive.
At first, it looked completely weak. It seemed that it was
going to die anytime soon. But see how, about two days later, things completely
changed.
The mouse that was just about to die, suddenly became
extremely active. The cage that was containing it could no longer contain it,
considering that the mouse began eating at the wall of the cage.
In just a little while, it had managed to cut through the
cage, and got out. This was something that caused a commotion within the
laboratory.
Well, it was not that much of a commotion, considering that
it was just your mother and I present within the laboratory, at least at that
time. Nevertheless, the commotion was obviously caught by the camera.
This immediately attracted the attention of the authority.
And so, they came, and realized that we were carrying out some form of
research. When they asked about the source of the liquid that we were using for
the research, we simply created a story that we only managed to find a small
piece of stone, that we used.
This was obviously something that made the authorities of
the laboratory doubt that. After all, they believed that there was a
possibility that there was an even bigger stone.
But considering that there were no results for the time
being, they did not take any action against it. So, we were allowed to continue
carrying out our research.
It was just that after a while, when the research was
progressing well, they wanted us to start human tests. But that was something
that we could not agree to. Additionally, they were not giving us enough funds
to continue the project.
We required more expensive equipment, but somehow, the
organization could not afford the price. So of course, we had no other choice
but to just use what was present. Well, in actuality, it was not that the
organization could not afford it, it was just that they thought that there was
no need for that.
They gave us a condition, that if we wanted those equipment,
we would have to start carrying out human tests. As expected, we could not do
that. We could not just go ahead and harm people by injecting them with some
liquid that was not yet to be verified.
I do believe that you already know about what happened after
that, but there is something that I believe that your mother did not explain to
you.
It is just that during the time that we were in this lab, we
managed to break off another little piece, which granted us another solution.
That was what we used for the time that we were in this laboratory, and even
with the government.
Greed is something that exists everywhere. Even in the
government, even though we had not yet managed to prove that the solution was
not going to be harmful to the humans, some of those within the government
wanted us to start human testing.
But some of them were contradictory, leading to an internal
fight between the government officials that were in charge of this project. As
for us, obviously, we were against this as well.
But things got out of hand later on, considering that at
some point, the Raven mercenary group, and the organization that we were
working for had actually joined hands.
I heard that there was some kind of relationship between the
owner of the organization, and the leader of the Raven mercenary group.
But considering that we had carried the research within that
organization at first, they wanted to get the research back. And due to the
backing that they had from the Raven Mercenary group, it was clear that the
government could not be reckless at all.
So of course, they began communicating with each other,
before finally, they could not come into an agreement. Both of them saw that
this was a huge chance for a change to happen.
The government obviously could not hand over such an
important project to the Raven mercenary group. This mercenary group was
obviously against the government. If this project somehow became successful,
then that would imply that the power of this mercenary group would increase by
a huge margin.
It was not impossible for them to suddenly overturn the
government, and rule over this nation. So of course, they could not allow
something like that to happen.
As for the mercenaries, they obviously wanted to get this
project. After all, they understood that if somehow, this project worked, and
it improved the power of the soldiers, then they would obviously not be able to
carry out any activities within this nation.
There was even a possibility that they might even be wiped
out by this nation. After all, the damage that they had caused to this nation
was quite huge, something that the government would obviously not ignore.
The conflict led to several battles occurring, and
considering that we were at the center of the storm, it was clear that we would
be affected as well.
Since the Raven mercenary group realized that they could not
get the two of us to join them, and carry out the project for them, they
decided to eliminate us. They believed that with the current power that they
possessed, at least, this nation was not capable of eliminating them. But if
things changed, then they would be in trouble.
Anyway, due to the battle between the two sides, we ended up
being sold out by some of those that were having the intention of gaining
something in this battle.
But don't worry, they did not know about the location of
this laboratory. And so, your mother and I decided that we were going to leave
the rest of the stone for you. We don't know if you are going to be able to
find the way of using it, but anyway, this is the real source of mutants within
this world.
Back then, they had just begun showing signs of mutating. At
least during the time that we were alive, well, until the time that I recorded
this video, they did not show much of an ability.
They had the ability, but it was not good enough to be able
to be used in combat. It could only be used for some small things, increasing
the efficiency.
This is the last time that you are going to hear from me,
unless you are going to watch this video again and again. Anyway, good luck to
you. It is too bad that we did not give you enough time during the time that we
were alive.
It was just that we were a little preoccupied with our
careers, that we even forgot about you. Yes, we managed to give you some time,
but it was not enough. You deserved more than that.
Goodbye. And make sure that you take care, and try as much
as possible to avoid those two forces, the mercenary group, and the family that
is also involved, the Smith family.
If you cannot find a way of unraveling the mysteries behind
that stone, just make sure that you hide yourself. I do believe that you have
the capability of doing that, if you have actually reached this place."
And that was the end of the video. Jaden remained silent for
quite a while, pondering on what he had heard. It was a lot of information, and
many of the things that he had heard of, some of them had already been told to
him through the video that his mother had left him.
It was just as he had expected. It was those two forces that
had been involved. The Raven mercenary group, and the Smith family. The two of
them had to be eliminated, considering that they were involved with the death
of his parents.
After relaxing his mind for quite a while, Jaden finally
looked at the cabinet on which the computer was on. He went ahead and opened
The only drawer that was present. It was quite big.
Inside the drawer, he found that there was nothing else
other than just a small stone. It was just as it was described by his father
during the start of the video.
It was blue in color, at least the coating. And within, it
was silvery in color. Jaden picked it up, feeling the weight. It was not that
heavy, weighing approximately just 2kg.
Jaden was not sure about the equipment that have been used
by his parents as they tried to break this stone. But he believed that he could
give it a try, and see if it was possible that he could break this stone with
his current strength.
It was possible for him to do that. After all, he did not
believe that his parents had used any equipment outside the laboratory. And if
that was the case, it was clear that there was no equipment here that could
compare with his current grip strength.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Maybe that was the reason why they did not successfully
break the stone. And maybe they were cautious, in such a way that they did not
try using those heavy machines in order to try and break it.
In any case, if he could not break it for the time being,
then, he could simply look for a way of getting more physique enhancing pills.
Then, he would be able to get stronger, and he would definitely be capable of
crushing this stone.
But just as he was about to start exerting his strength, to
see if he could crush the stone, he suddenly received a prompt from the system
that shocked him.
