78 Four Sections

Sarah was speechless. She didn't even know how to react knowing her husband enjoyed being a cuckold.

Then there was the blonde in the projection brainwashing her to become a Good Wife. She even felt convinced for continuing her affair with Kiba, but then she heard her husband coughing.

The heart rate monitor also started beeping loudly. Panicked, she rushed to her husband.

"Daniel!" Sarah was worried. His mouth was filled with blood and there were bloodstains on the oxygen mask.

The next moment, the doctors dashed in to check Daniel's condition.

"He is in the middle of a stroke!"

The head doctor shouted in disbelief. He knew the arteries of the patient were seriously damaged but he was sure there should be no risk of stroke.

"Quick! Start the operation!"

Another doctor reminded the head doctor.

"Ah yes!"

The doctors hurriedly started the treatment. Sarah and Kiba were asked to wait outside.

Sarah angrily eyed Kiba. She was sure Daniel would have been fine if Kiba hasn't revealed his embarrassing secrets.

"Anger doesn't suit your pretty face," Kiba looked at her in the eyes, "I only want to see joy on your face."

"You..." Sarah was infuriated but she didn't dare say more.

"Let us forget the bad past now that we have resolved our issues," Kiba took her chin his hand, "I don't want any more bitterness between us!"

Sarah was about to protest when she found his lips on hers, kissing her intimately. She was caught off guard by the kiss, and by the time she got her senses back, he backed away.

"Let there be only be sweetness on our lips!" Rays of white light erupted under his feet as Kiba said, "Daniel will never learn about the sweetness we will share so don't worry!"

Sarah's cheeks turned red from anger and embarrassment. She felt angry at herself for she liked Kiba's guts to say such a thing openly.

"I will never cheat on Daniel again!" Sarah assured herself but only she knows how firm her conviction was...

The next day.

Section I of the underground lab at Dream Rise House.

(A/N: Please check out #gallery in Discord https://discord.gg/TGmqHw3 It would help you visualize the lab and the villa)

Swoosh~

Agatha and Kiba teleported inside the lab.

[[Lady Agatha, welcome to the lab]] Claudia's voice ringed inside the lab

"Claudia, right?" Agatha asked after opening her eyes. The apartment Kiba has given her was also managed by Claudia so she knew her.

[[Yes. I hope your appointment with gynecologist went fine.]] Claudia replied.

"Thanks. It went well!" Agatha said as she scanned the lab.

There were cryo chambers, stasis pods, specimen containers, examination tables, etc, with each unit having a separate control console.

Agatha was sure it wasn't a mere lab crammed with up-to-date apparatus nor it was a medical facility with the latest machinery.

Just based on the equipment, she was sure the lab has the capacity to conduct even advanced genetic engineering experiments.

Then she looked at the white metalized wall, floor, and ceiling. She wasn't able to identify the metal used, but she was sure the lab could survive even a nuclear disaster based on the design.

"Are you a survivalist?" Agatha couldn't help but ask. She knew there were many secret societies founded on the concept of survivalism.

The members of these societies feared a large-scale disruption in the world and hence would prepare themselves in advance. There were even mystic organizations supporting these societies for their own agenda.

"I guess you could say so," Kiba was rather embarrassed by her evaluation.

He was not a survivalist any longer but it was different four years ago when he has just fused with the Cosmic Spark.

Back then, he was someone who has survived the dangers of slum and the mining expedition. Those life and death experiences taught him to never take his safety for granted.

So he spent almost a year creating things that would help him in the future. This included Claudia and the underground sections.

He mainly built this genetic lab to study the effects of the Cosmic Spark on his body. Alas, he failed badly.

His body scans and blood samples would only show that he was a mutant with the ability of teleportation and enhanced strength. The other abilities were hidden from the scanners just like the existence of the Cosmic Spark inside his chest.

He has even tried to experiment with his blood but in the end, the test results were no different from a normal mutant.

But such a cautious and scholarly attitude was a thing of the past. The passing of time and the effect of a lavish lifestyle has influenced him more then he could ever imagine.

"I know you earn a good amount from the odd jobs you take, but never thought to this extent!" Agatha remarked.

She was sure some of the apparatus here could surpass the ones at White Angel Corporation. This just showed how rich he was.

"You don't need to earn money to establish the lab!" Kiba explained with a smirk, "You only need to be good at borrowing stuff!"

"You stole the items?!" Agatha looked at him in disbelief.

"Nope! Some of them I purchased but most of them have been borrowed!" Kiba explained, "Men borrow from nature and I borrowed from the fellow men. That isn't considered as stealing at all!"

"Is that so?" Agatha was amused.

"Yes. And you have only seen one section," Kiba pointed to the end of the corridor where a door was located, "There are other sections."

"Other?" Agatha was aghast, "Just how much you 'borrowed' to create the other sections?"

"You can judge that for yourself," Kiba and Agatha arrived in front of the door.

After confirmation from Claudia, the door opened to reveal Section II.

This section was dedicated to the creation of droids, drones, weapons, etc. The droids used in the villa were purchased from normal shops to avoid suspicions, but the ones responsible for the main security were created here.

"This is where Claudia constructed the bracelet I gave you," Kiba pointed towards a metallic desk where two robotic arms were working, "She is currently trying to create more defensive items for you."

"More?" Agatha was surprised.

"The bracelet can only protect you from physical or energy attacks," Kiba explained, "Claudia and I don't have much expertise in designing defensive items for other forms of attack, so it might take a year before the preparations are complete."

They walked towards Section III which occupied the most space compared to the previous sections. Agatha's face twisted in shock as she looked ahead.

An aircraft floated above the floor. It resembled a private jet in appearance but otherwise, it wasn't ordinary at all.

The aircraft offered a speed of up to 3500 km/h along with enhanced security features such as an anti-missile system and a force field protection.

"I knew men are interested in women and vehicles!" Agatha composed herself and said, "But I thought you are only interested in women!"

Kiba's face twitched. Most of the stuff he owned was to satisfy his vanity instead of serving any real need.

"You must be really good at borrowing stuff!" Agatha remarked after checking the stats of the aircraft.

She wondered about the identities of the poor souls who went bankrupt after 'lending' Kiba all the required items.

Kiba gave a light cough and said, "Let us return to Section I."

"Return?" Agatha was confused for she saw at the end of the corridor, there was another door with an 'IV' sign, "You are not going to show me that section?"

"That's a restricted area," Kiba's expression turned grave, "Even I don't dare go there without proper arrangements."

Agatha was startled by the heaviness in his words. She looked at the door to section IV more carefully.

Just the door seemed thrice thicker than the doors of previous sections. Then there was a red force field around the door to further enhance the security.

"What is there?" Agatha couldn't help but ask.

"I can't answer," Kiba said as he thought of an event that changed his entire life, "I trust you but there are things better unknown."

Agatha has never seen him this serious from all the years she has known him. Not even when they discussed their unborn child.

"I understand," Agatha nodded understanding. She was curious but she also knew sometimes ignorance is bliss.
