Child of Destiny

Silver Wing Continent.

This was the place where the main headquarters of the World Government was located. And due to that, most of the continent was under the organization’s control, even the capital region itself.

With their watch, not even the underworld organization would dare to infiltrate this place, much less create any trouble.

And with the World Government being situated in this place, and their influence reaching every corner of the world, the Silver Wing Continent had the collective knowledge of the country was the most advanced one.

Their technology might be slightly behind when compared to the Sun-Moon Continent, but they were not that far off either.

With the headquarters of the World Government, there was a room that looked like a throne room in medieval times. And within it, there were three seats at the highest point of the platform.

Clank!

The opening of the huge metal doors disrupted the silence enveloping the room with its creaking sounds.

Following that was an entrance of a person wearing a military uniform. But unlike the usual camouflage pants and coats that the military forces around the world were wearing, this particular uniform was unique to the forces under the World Government.

And based on the four-star badges attached to the shoulder of this officer, his rank within the forces was pretty high.

He swiftly went in front of the three thrones and quickly knelt down right after he reached the foot of the platform. “I apologize for my rudeness, Great Heads. But there is an important matter that I must report.”

There were no people sitting physically on the three thrones, but the moment when he said those words, three lights suddenly descended from the sky and projected three silhouettes sitting on the thrones.

A moment later, the one sitting on the middle throne suddenly said. “General Wolf, it is indeed rare for you to act this way, so I am quite curious what makes you act this way.”

The kneeling general gulped a mouthful of saliva before finally answering. “One of the ancient inheritances is found!”

“Oh~!?” hearing that, the three people being projected on the thrones finally showed some interest when they heard that.

There were very few instances where these three would show interest in anything, but when it came to ancient inheritances of the previous eras, they could not suppress their curiosity.

“An inheritance of which kind? Is it one of the important ones that we are keeping our eyes on?” asked the other person, who was seated on the right throne.

The general hesitated for a moment before answering. “It is said to be the ancient inheritance that belongs to the Thunder Lord.”

“Hmm?”

If earlier, it was barely able to pique the interest of the three throne masters, then it was now able to fully attract their attention. Ancient inheritances were rare, but the ones left behind by the ancient lords were much rarer.

“How is it? Have we secured it this time?” asked the throne master sitting on the left throne.

This time, the general felt a little regret at reporting. But if he did not say anything about it, then he would surely suffer later when these three throne masters learned about it.

He tensely gulped before replying carefully. “Unfortunately, the inheritance appeared in the Soaring Continent. And Dragon King Nathan Springfield is already at the scene before the news arrives at us. It is already too late to act.”

There seemed to be a deep frown on the projected silhouettes of the three thrones masters when they heard that before the one in the middle said with a hoarse voice. “So, you are telling us that you failed to secure it? Then why the hell are you reporting something like this?”

General Wolf closed his eyes as he was already expecting this to happen. He then bowed his head further down before replying. “But according to our people from that side, it seems like a pillar of complete acceptance could be seen during the inheritance ritual.”

The three throne masters paused and looked at the general with inquiring gaze. They waited for him to continue.

General Wolf heaved a sigh of relief when he noticed that the temperature within the throne room stopped dropping. He then continued his report. “Based on one of our moles planted in their ranks, the disturbance created by the pillar of acceptance was pretty huge.”

“Even though very few people are able to see it, our people are strong enough to witness such a huge disturbance. And the one that they have seen this time is much larger than the ones that we have conducted before.”

“This is clearly indicating that the host that accepted the inheritance of the Thunder Lord is the destined one. This will cause a huge stir in the current state of affairs that the world organizations have agreed upon.”

Silence filled the room once again after that. The three throne masters fell into deep thought as the general waited for their words.

Sigh!

There was a helpless sigh from the throne master seated in the middle before he continued. “This is really a troublesome matter. With the first real host appearing, the others will surely start increasing their pace and move aggressively.”

“Soon, more and more destined hosts will appear just like what the prophecy has said,” he continued before remembering another matter that he wanted to forget. “In the end, what that man has said is starting to come true.”

At the same time, the throne master seated on the right side quickly added. “The other form of inheritance is also starting to disappear one after another. Not long ago, I heard that the inheritance sealed in the Twin Dragon Lake has also been ‘stolen’.”

“And the ‘perpetrator’ is yet to be found,” he added with a deep frown.

“There is also another one from the Sun-Moon Continent and another chase that occurred in the Deep Blue Continent. There are also rumors about a person hosting a top-class ancient inheritance in the Dark Continent,” said the throne master on the left.

The one in the middle nodded his head and commented. “It seems like the tides are really surging. We have to make haste and secure as much as we can.”

He then turned to the general and asked. “Is that all?”

General Wolf hesitated for a moment before answering. “There is another matter, Great Heads.”

“Continue. Don’t bother to hesitate anymore,” said the throne master on the right.

Hearing that, the general did not hesitate any longer and continued. “It seems like the issue about the ‘Project Genius’ is arising once again.”

“Recently, we have gotten some reports discussing these matters. And it seems like it is getting serious as time goes by.”

“Even just recently, reports are telling us that three of the biggest underworld organizations are conducting their respective research related to this project – the Shadow Alliance, the Hextech Laboratory, and the Black Serpent Mafia.”

“They even have their respective prototypes of the super soldiers. The Shadow Alliance have the ‘Shadow Guards’, the Hextech Laboratory have the ‘Unforgiven Ones’ with artificial talents and those people they are calling ‘Hakuna’, while the Black Serpent Mafia created their own version of Artificial Mutants.”

“The situation is escalating at a much faster pace and higher degree. I am afraid that we have to take some measures as soon as possible.”

The three throne masters became silent once again as they understood the situation. And at the same time, they could not help but have some headaches as the chaos was about to arrive sooner than they had expected.

They could not blame anyone either as they, themselves, were also a part of the reason why things were escalating this fast.

A few moments later, the throne master seated on the middle throne finally opened his mouth. “How about this? Let’s send a few of our people to hinder the progress of those three organizations and warn them in the process?”

The other two throne masters on the side understood what he was trying to say and nodded their heads.

“Which one are we going to send?” asked the one on the right.

The throne master in the middle thought for a moment. “It has been a while since we have given a task to the ‘True Order’. How about we let them handle this so that they can move their lazy muscles a little?”

Hearing those words, a shiver suddenly ran through the entire body of the general kneeling on the foot of the platform. He could tell that the patience of the three throne masters was being provoked.

The True Order was the secret force and the strongest trump card of the World Government. If they were dispatching that special unit, then the situation was definitely escalating to an unimaginable level.

The other two throne masters, on the other hand, merely nodded their heads and agreed tacitly to the throne master situated in the middle of them.

“This should be the first mission that they are going to take since that huge failure that they committed last time, right?” muttered the throne master on the right.

“I can’t say that it is a total failure since they still erase that civilization in the end,” refuted the other on the left.

“Forget it. It is already in the past, so there is no point talking about it,” said the middle throne master before turning to the general. “You can leave now. We will make some arrangements for the rest.”

“But keep an eye on the movements of the Soaring Kingdom. They are getting quite bold recently,” he added with a cold tone.

“I understand, Great Head,” answered General Wolf before retreating from the throne room.

And the moment when he closed the door, the projections of the three throne masters also disappear, leaving the thrones empty once again.

Unknown to them, a shadow was watching everything unfold before retreating back to darkness.
