I Can Assimilate Everything-Chapter 25: Selection, Denial! I
Chapter 25: Selection, Denial! I
As Achilles perused the document that Johnny Riker had sent over, they came out to the open area of the Evaluation Center as Johnny and Amanda seemed to be looking around cautiously as if their greatest enemies could attack at any second.
And truly so, Advanced Humans ranging from Low to Middle Tier Body Modification began to walk over as soon as Rose was spotted, many of them having beaming smiles as they got ready to introduce the powers they belonged to for recruitment!
But before any of them could even speak...
BZZT!
Arcs of blue lightning flashed that emanated a profound sense of danger, many Advanced Humans here feeling a stifling sense of pressure as a blue-haired man appeared.
Even Achilles was forced to raise his gaze from his phone and turned towards the awe inspiring power emanating in the distance!
There, a blue-haired man had his hand shining brilliantly with a lit-up meridian as with every step he took; it felt like the floor below was creaking.
The Recruiters that just arrived from different groups and organizations turned sour at this as some could not help but whisper.
"What the hell? They now have Meridian Transformation Recruiters hanging around Evaluation Centers?"
One voice chirped in.
"You dumb shit, that's not a Meridian Transformation Recruiter, that's the one of the Strike Team Leaders of Titan Industries- The Lightning Hand, Amos!"
...!
Amos.
The Lightning Hand!
A Meridian Transformation Advanced Human came over as his gaze ignored all others as if they did not exist, and he arrived not too far from Achilles while entirely ignoring him as he spoke towards Rose.
"Rose Adrian, right? I have an Advanced Human Contract ready for you here. A contract guaranteeing a $500 Million Sign On Bonus, a Mansion in the Celestial District of the City of Neon, and a guarantee to provide you with all the required Evolutius Crystals until you awaken your first Meridian among many other things. I just need your signature here to assure everything."
...!
Amos spoke with strength and power as he raised his right hand brimming with a Meridian and held a tablet that just required a signature!
He had reviewed the information about this Rose Adrian.
A poor woman who should have just awakened recently, with much of her life being spent in poverty!
But like all poor women, she was likely strong mentally.
So he knew he could not break her and make her his easily as he started off with a bang.
More money than she ever imagined in her dreams.
Resources all the way to Awakening her first Meridian!
This was just the first shot as Amos had many more!
The moment he said what he said, shocked gasps echoed out in the surroundings as by the side, Johnny Riker and Amanda had ashen expressions as Johnny Riker gripped his tablet while forcing himself to speak.
"Mr. Amos, the government guarantees a one-week period of time before any contract-...!"
CRACK!
A boom of thunder and lightning echoed out as Johnny Riker was flung back like a rag doll, his body smashing onto a glass wall and shattering it before he slid across the floor of the Evaluation Center!
...!
His body wheezed as his chest held a scorch mark, his eyes bright red as he was heavily injured.
Everyone here turned ashen as the voice of the Lightning Hand, Amos, echoed out.
"If anybody else does so much as raise their fucking voice, I won't be so kind."
"..."
Stark silence filled this floor.
As if there wasn't a single soul here!
Some even began moving backwards away from this location.
In a distant corner, a woman in a suit and sunglasses was calm as she sent a text to an unknown number, her suit marked with a half moon that represented a member of the Government of the Lunaris Colony Overseers!
In the following silence, Amos kept his gaze on Rose, whose head was leveled, her eyes covered by her baseball cap as, at this moment, she was close to Achilles.
She felt his body turn and stand in front of her, her mind racing as she thought quickly before she reached out to grab his hand and turn him away!
She then replied in a calm tone.
New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.
"I...thank you for the offer, but we haven't chosen to make a choice just yet. When we do, we will reach out."
...!
She kept her head down, but she caught the eyes of this man ahead of her.
She had seen such eyes many times.
Disgusting. Possessive. Filled with lust.
She knew this man was nothing good as with the reveal of his power, she also thought about how to move to make sure that nothing occurred against her or Achilles!
To deal with men like these in the past, she had to change Jobs many times.
The Bosses or Supervisors would offer...additional help if she just did what they said.
For every single one, she turned down and quit right after as men with these types of eyes made her life many times harder!
But this one...was an Advanced Human.
And he was wild enough to injure an Evaluator without even sparing a glance!
He...
"Who is this?"
The voice of Amos rang out again, but it was filled with coldness as he looked towards Achilles that currenly had Rose pulling his figure back.
Amos stared at this as if his possession was touching something she should not.
As if she was staining herself for touching something dirty!
His eyes flashed with lightning as he looked at Achilles who actually dared to look back at him and reply.
"Achilles. Achilles Maxwell."
He said his name clearly as he seemed to hold a bigger backbone than many others here!
"Oh, are you...the brother? I could extend a sub-contract to you as well."
The eyes of Amos were cold as he spoke, but Achilles shook his head as Rose gripped his hand tighter.
He saw the saw the way this guy looked at Rose.
Those eyes filled with clear lust and possessiveness!
