Chapter 262: Michael’s Analysis

Previously, when Onyx did an investigation on NEXUS, it was clear that they usually had fatalities. This implied, they were always involved in dangers, and sometimes, some members would end up being killed.

This indicated that the dangers that they faced were not simple at all. It was impossible for them to die just by facing normal people.

Yes, at the moment, the technology involving the mutants was not advanced. And as a result, the abilities that the mutants could awaken was random, and more than that, they might not be powerful at all.

For example, if someone awakened an ability to be able to produce flames. That person, if the flames that they could produce was only the size of the flame produced by a lighter, what kind of danger could that even pose?

And, despite the mutant having the ability of generating the flame, how could they defend against a bullet? So of course, if they were caught off guard, they would die.

When Onyx realized that there was hidden information about NEXUS, it went ahead and did a more detailed investigation on this organization.

And as a result, it was revealed that the members of this organization usually had extra ordinary abilities. And, as of recent, all those that joined this organization would use the grade A serum.

This was the highest grade of the serums that had been produced at the moment. So, the abilities that were awakened using the grade A serum were more powerful as compared to those from the grade E serums.

So, with powerful abilities, it was to be expected that when it came to dealing with ordinary crooks, it would not be much of a problem for them.

But then again, considering that Brian was able to get the information about mutants, it was clear that gangs also had some connections, allowing them to be able to access the mutation serums.

Maybe this was the reason why the government was not able to uproot the two syndicates within this nation, until now. Maybe they were worried that if they clashed, the mutants that belonged to the two syndicates could cause some death to the mutants that belonged to the government.

One had to know, at the moment, due to the low number of serums that could be produced, only those that were trusted could be given the serums. So, those government officials were unwilling to have their people risk their lives unnecessarily.

Therefore, unless the two syndicates did something that was completely beyond what they could tolerate, they would not engage them at all.

But if it was like this, then what was the use of NEXUS? This was the organization that was supposedly introduced to deal with mercenaries, fugitives and so on.

And if this organization was becoming useless, what was the need of recruiting more members? Considering that the costs of running this organization were not low, if this organization was really useless, it would have already been disbanded by now.

As Michael was still thinking about this, he shook his head in the end. Instead, he decided to focus on something else, instead of focusing on what did not involve him, at least for now.

By now, despite the two of them not interacting so much, Michael understood Kate quite well. This was mostly related to the human insight skill that he possessed.

But in any case, according to his understanding of Kate, she was one proud girl. And considering that she was thinking about avenging her father, she would take all the necessary means available for her to be able to achieve what she wanted.

And, considering that by becoming a mutant, she would possess much more strength and power, it implied that she would have better chances at dealing with those that were involved with the death of her father.

Since that was the case, if she was really presented with the option of taking the serum or not, she would definitely do it. She would risk taking the serum.

And as Michael thought about the 42% chances of her dying, he suddenly realized that his heart ached. Just thinking of a possibility of her dying because of the mutation, he realized that he did not want her to die.

Feeling the intense emotions that erupted within his heart, Michael suddenly realized, he had really fallen for her.

This was kind of ironic, considering that the two of them had a bad start. And more than that, they had not interacted that much either.

Yes, for some time, when Kate was still within Brenton city, she usually came to pay him a visit. But because she was mostly on duty, she would only come for a while, before leaving.

So basically, they did not really know each other that much, unless Michael decided to investigate about her.

But, this feeling in his heart, it was clear, she had already hooked his heart. It was impossible for him to ignore if anything happened to her.

As he let out a helpless sigh, Michael realized that he would have to find a way of dealing with this issue. In one way or the other, he had to ensure that Kate would not face any problems during the serum injection.

At the moment, it would be impossible for him to explain the origin of a serum that he could purchase from the system store. So, if he bought one, he would have to find a way of replacing the one that would be used on Kate.

After all, not only did the serums that came from the system store possess no danger, but he could also buy a serum of the highest grade from the system store, to grant Kate a powerful ability.

As he was thinking about this, he realized something. According to the information by Onyx, during next month, that would be the time for the new recruits to undergo combat assessment.

It would be after the combat assessment that they would be categorized according to their skills. And after that, they would undergo the serum injection.

Even though the government was not able to fully analyze the serums, they were able to make some progress nonetheless. There were those types of serums that increased the chances of someone awakening combat related abilities.

But others, they increase the probability of awakening the non-combat abilities, which were mostly used for the support and the intelligence branches of NEXUS.

“I guess I will have to make arrangements. First of all, I will need to understand when exactly the serum injection will happen. And more than that, I will have to find a way of swapping the serums.

But apart from that, I will also have to understand what kind of ability is more suitable for Kate. As long as she can get an ability that suits her the best, it would allow her to be able to shine even more in the organization.” Michael muttered in a low voice.

As he exhaled deeply, Michael realized that he would need to contact Kate first. He would have to use a method of indirect questioning, in order to be able to understand what kind of ability Kate would like to have.

But that was something that would have to wait. As Michael knew, before the combat assessment, Kate and the other recruits would be allowed to make contact with the outside world.

So, Michael decided, it would be at that time that he would ask Kate about that. It would be at that time that the bio human that he had arranged to protect Kate would have to take action.

If that was not enough, he could also arrange for other bio humans to ensure the success of this.

Having already made a decision, Michael stood up, stretched for a little bit, before he left the bedroom. He descended the stairs, only to realize that the lights in the living room were still on.

And more than that, he realized that Susan was still here. Initially, he thought that she had left. But now, it turned out that she was still here, and the two ladies were having quite an enjoyable time.

They were watching a comedy show, and their continuous laughter made the villa, that was usually silent to be quite lively.

And when they noticed Michael coming down the stairs, they finally reacted. The first one to react was Susan, as she stood up, feeling a little nervous.

It was already 9:00 p.m. By this time, she was supposed to have already gone back home, yet she was still here. So, she was worried that Michael might actually kick her out.

Initially, she had planned to leave. After all, she understood that just being able to stay here for quite a while was already enough. She was not familiar with Michael, so, it was normal that she was not supposed to stay here.

But Marion asked her to stay, claiming that she was also here for the second day. So, they could keep each other company, while eating the delicious dishes prepared here.

With the temptation of the delicious dishes, Susan immediately agreed. But of course, while she could agree, would the owner of the house agree?

“It is only now that you are done with what you were doing? Anything that I can help with?” Marion stood up as she asked.

“There is no problem, I’m already done with everything that I needed to take care of.” Michael responded as he gazed at Susan with slightly raised brows.

When Marion saw that Michael was looking at Susan, she explained, “I asked her to stay, I hope you don’t mind. And by the way, isn’t she your girlfriend’s friend? You can ask her about your girlfriend, so that you can understand her better.”
