007 Sixth

"Mom, this is Inori. For an unexpected turn of events, she can't stay at her home. So I offer her my place." Said Shu with a straight face.

Haruka just looking at them with gaping mouth and drop her instant beer that she hold. Immediately after that, Haruka comes to Inori and hold her shoulder. "Did Shu do something to you? Was he threaten you to come here? Did you bet something and lose against him? Or did he do it to you....."

"Enough Mom, you know that I won't do something like that, especially something that against her will."

"But, You always do something mysterious like a weird package that come at your 13 birthday, or when you're on phone saying something like turn over the government or something, or when you talk to Ilsa in the middle of night even thought you know Ilsa is just an OWL!!"

"Mom, stop embarrassing me. I am not doing anything strange, it's just... you know... Puberty and another stuff..." Said Shu with red face. 'So Haruka knows about all of that!! I thought I already do it perfectly'

"Okay so what's the real reason." Said Haruka with a serious face.

"I already said it to you. You can ask her to confirm it" Said Shu while giving a 'know look' to Inori.

Inori gives a nod to Haruka and finally Haruka stop to pry any information from Shu. 'I really glad Inori isn't much a talker or this will going to gives us more problem'

After convincing Haruka for another 5 minutes. Shu takes Inori to the guest room." You can use this room freely. I already pick some clothes for you to use, pick it from the closet beside the bed.... Oh and don't forget to be ready at 9 AM. We need to go to school" After giving Inori a 'knowing smile' Shu go out and go back to his own room.

Haruka comes to Shu's room to ask Shu again about Inori. "Shu, tell me one more time. You're not doing something illegal right?" Asked Haruka with slightly angry face. "I am not Mom. You can believe me!" Said Shu with clear eye. After about 30 seconds of staring contest, Haruka finally agree with it. "Okay then, I believe you for now." Said Haruka and leave Shu's room. While looking at Haruka's back and confirm that she's not coming back. Shu's finally letting out a sigh. Shu lie in his bed and looking at the ceiling with a serious look.

"Phase one is done, now I just need to wait for the other side of the chessboard take his move" Said Shu with an 'evil-looking-face' and 'evil-laugh' that sounds creepy all over his room. Thankfully his room is soundproof. Thanks for modern technologies that make it happen. He doesn't need to put anything into his room to make it odd, just a computer and tiny little tool for it to work.

'By the way, I got permission from Gai to take Inori with me. Well, after a competitive staring contest that last for about 5 minutes. I think he pretty much received the message. If it's the Gai that I know, he'll try to start the operation as soon as possible. With Void Genome in his hand. It should be easier this time. And if he really doing it like my expectation, my second phase can also proceed well.'

Shu open his phone and send an email to someone before putting it back to his pocket. 'What should I do now? Maybe I'll try to finish the portable barrier. It should take another week before I can finally do something testing on it. If it works exactly like the simulation. Then it can upgrade my defense system to the next level!. If I activate this barrier. It will project a three layer defense system that can sustain any damage from the weakest to the medium-high. At least it can save me from one bullet of Endlave fire beam. It should be enough.'

'I truly looking forward to the coup d'etat. It should be fun with all of my toys in the front-line.' Shu looks at his hand and remembering all the human lives that he takes with it in his previous lives and also all lives that he failed to protect. He knows that all of them are still alive right now. But, he can't forgot it no matter how much he try. 'I won't use you anymore Inori. And I won't let anyone that I love to suffer from the Void Genome again!'

After make sure the words that he says sink deep in the bottom of his heart. Shu wake up and do his work.

Mayor of this city, Richard. Take a look at his phone, looking at the new email that come just a minutes ago. Richard squinting his eyes before make it relax again and lean back in his chair. "Sebas, come in!" Said Richard.

Sebas, Richard's Assistant and also butler come in after knocking on the door three times. "What can i do for you sir?" Asked Richard politely while bowing his head down 45 degree.

"Be ready for the next operation. I'll email the detail later. Did you got it?" Asked Richard with full curiosity.

"No sir, We track it to the source but it also a dummy. No traces found afterward." Said Sebas while shaking his head.

Richard shocked about the fact that even a team of 20 hacker can't do anything to track him. 'What a dangerous guy. It's good thing that we are allies. At least for now'

Full minutes past and Sebas try to ask Richard another question. "Do we need to try it again sir?"

Richard rotate his chair 180 Degree that will make him see a full vision if his city. "No, stop the operation immediately. We will support him 100% for now. As long as his and our will is the same. He's our allies."

"I understood" Without waiting for another second, Sebas do another bow down and go out of the room without haste.

Richard keep looking at the city. A clear contrast between the inner and the outer region. He's an ambitious man but he won't be able to win the election without his help. He also put his believes on him. So, he'll try his best to make a better future happen. 'This city is rotten. The higher up keep bootlicking GHQ Corp. That makes GHQ becoming more dangerous. My position for now is secure, they can't make any blame and their spy is also monitored by Sebas. If the plan is proceed correctly. We can uprooted GHQ to the core and end this illusion'

Richard hear a new email is arrived and take his phone to take a look. 'The only one who can connect to this phone is my family, Sebas, and him.'He look at the sender and shocked 'It's him!'

twice in a day? What happen? after ponder it for a while he open it and even a greater shocked is written in the email.
