Chapter 6

January 8, 2012, 7:10 p.m. Sunday

Grey was contemplating what to do next when somebody came down to their basement and knock on the opened secret cabinet door, it was his uncle and beside his was his wife, she walked toward his nephew and gave him a hug as they officially received confirmation that the UN peacekeeping force in Derbent lost communication and no response since five days ago, his uncle as his wife to prepare something to eat while he discusses something toward his nephew,

as they went out of the narrow secret room, Grey wanted to know how this vile got inside the vault the mere fact his father was the only person who knew about it,

His uncle explained that when they visited them on Christmas holiday day a month ago, he secretly entered the secret room and placed the item inside the vault that was still open, based on the instructions he was given by Greys father. This particular vault is state-of-the-art technology and was left open , because it can be remotely accessed by a software application that can be activated anywhere by just using a cellphone and entering the password on the other side of the continent.

Grey's uncle further mentioned that the software application used for remote access had multiple layers of encryption to ensure maximum security. Additionally, he revealed that the password for accessing the vault was regularly updated every month to prevent any unauthorized entry.

So the fact that he was able to open it means he was able to get the password, but seeing what it was grey was confused about what the 3ml vile of blood was for, his uncle just told him he also doesn't have any idea, but if his older brother told him its important, it means its really important so he advises Grey to keep it close to him and never depart from it until he gains the real reason why it was sent to him , and who is Wyatt

Greys' uncle nodded and could not give him any more answers because he too was in the dark, he just received a message telling him to meet up with a man in the middle of nowhere and take a package from him after placing it inside his vault secretly that it all, He emphasized the importance of keeping the package hidden and not sharing any details about it with anyone. His uncle warned Grey to be cautious and to trust no one until they uncover the true purpose of the mysterious vile of blood.

Grey had nothing more to know because even his uncle was in the dark, so he gave him his phone and showed him the video. This shocked him to the point that he was trembling with anger, revealing a secret that he never expected. As his uncle watched the video, his face turned pale and his hands shook uncontrollably.

It was clear that this unexpected revelation had deeply disturbed him because the video message he got was totally different. As he explained further, all the video messages were sent in different orders, so his Uncle showed him the video message that his father sent to his uncle. The message was long, but it was more about getting the entire clan under one large roof with specific instructions. and prepare for the worst,

Grey's uncle was reluctant to even hear that his brothers advised seriously that even their mothers were keen and insisting to follow their strict order and not take this situation as a laughing matter, but as soon as he saw the three videos they sent to their kids, the fear of accepting that this was true was overwhelming and unbelievably unbearable.

The videos depicted the severity of the situation, showcasing the devastating effects it had on humanity. It became clear that this was not a matter to be taken lightly, and Grey's uncle finally understood the urgency to gather everyone together and prepare for the worst.

He asked Grey to send a copy to his phone soon after, his wife came down to tell them that she made snacks for them as soon she saw her husband's expression he handed his phone and let her personally see the heartbreaking scene, the two decide to leave and let her see the heartbreaking scene, knowing that it would further emphasize the gravity of the situation. As they left, Grey's uncle couldn't help but feel a renewed sense of determination to protect his loved ones and ensure their safety in the face of such devastation.

Their aunt eventually came up from the basement and was crying. and hug Lailah as she was sitting on the living room sofa. Their uncle was walking back and forth and was thinking very hard to find a logical answer to what he saw.

So he decides to follow his older brother's instructions and build a bunker for their entire clan to live in, but knowing this was a daunting task, he can only ask the extended family from each Chevalier relative, and because of the severity of the situation, they don't have enough time.

so without wasting time, he ask Grey and Lailah if it is ok for the rest of the clan to see their parent's last video, they both nodded and told their uncle what killed their parents was not humans but something else entirely so as his mother mention before she was brutally killed, and that is to be prepared,

And that is what they will have to do; this is no longer about their clan's survival; it's about humanity's survival as well. They understand that they must gather all those who are able to start planning countermeasures in order to protect not only their clan but also the rest as a whole.

With a heavy sense of responsibility, they begin devising a plan to confront and defeat whatever it is that killed their parents, knowing that the fate of both their clan and humanity hangs in the balance.

so the husband and wife immediately gave their Niece and nephew a hug and gave Grey a Communication device that was secure and was being used by navy seals in the covert operation, Grey was shocked to see that he was holding something that only top officers used, his uncle reminds him that like his father and great grandfather, their entire family has a deep-rooted connection this country military rise to power,

the two left in a hurry not even having the opportunity to get some rest fact they drove 2 hours just to get to here their ancestral land, but before they could drive away his uncle threw a black card and told him

"Grey, buy everything you need and put everything in the place where we with your father once stayed in the mountain while hunting, "

"Don't worry I will can Mr Duvall to assist you,"

"you know Mr Duval, The hunting shop owner?"

"He is a long-time family friend, Grey, we need his help actually!"

"Grey and Lailah ... don't waste time, dwelling in the past move! fight!

"Yes Uncle, we will!"

"good! wait for my call I will do everything as your father instructed o!"

On the other side of the mountain, where the edge was a 50-meter-tall cliff going straight down, there has a wide road connecting to the main highway leading to other major cities. This road was wide enough to accommodate four lanes, offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, and is frequently used by truck cargo to access nearby destinations. Additionally, the wide road is well maintained, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable journey for those who choose to explore this scenic and undisturbed route.

And this was the perfect place to transport all the needed materials to refurbish the decommissioned military dunker, as the wide road could easily accommodate large trucks carrying heavy equipment and supplies. The scenic views along the route also provided a well-controlled backdrop for the transportation process, making it an ideal choice for such a significant project.

at the same time, Grey was running wild on that same mountain, like a wild beast, he unleashed all his anger and decide to dedicate his life to avenging his parents and killing whatever it was that made them suffer.

Lailah wasn't hungry at all, she tried her best to take small bites of the food her Aunty made but now it was tasteless maybe because of the feeling in her heart it was already dark outside when Grey came back that he was dirt and his knuckles were filled with bruises and blood, he was still upset but when Lailah gently grab his hand and ask if he was fine,

Grey kneel on the floor and hug his sister, eventually she cried and scream, Grey promise her that he will always protect her and become the best soldier that his parent would have been proud, he looks at her little sister and said this will be the last time you cry, we shall honor them by being strong and live up to their parent's name,

Lailah gradually calmed down and rubbed his teary eyes. He stood straight and gave his brother a salute, saying, "Sir, yes sir!" His brother smiled proudly and patted her on the back, acknowledging her show of respect. Lailah's determination to follow orders showed her commitment to their shared goals. and that was for revenge,

At her age, she was unlike the rest of the ten-year-old girls, who were interested in social media and anything related to the millennials' so-called lifestyle. lifestyle, she wanted to train like her brother, but her size and physical attributes were too young, so she trained her mind instead. At a young age, she can effectively use a handgun and understands the correct stance and posture to lessen the gun's recoil. She was cautious like her brother and never acted.

irrational and always in a calm manner, but like any other person, she is still a ten-year-old girl and certain social norms still must be followed to not stand out too much, such as dressing appropriately for her age and engaging in age-appropriate activities. Despite her advanced skills, she understands the importance of maintaining a balanced lifestyle that includes school, hobbies, and spending time with friends her own age.

Grey teaches her some martial arts and practices different forms of combat. She enjoys the physicality and challenge of these activities, finding them empowering and exhilarating. However, Grey reminds her that self-defenses is not just about physical strength but also about being aware of her surroundings and using her intelligence to assess potential threats.

But as time went by, she understood that in real combat, stamina and agility are essential in survival, running and maximizing the use of her body to be adaptable was more important than having many guns, so she started incorporating cardio and agility training into her routine.

She learned different techniques to improve her endurance and flexibility, realizing that being quick on her feet and having the ability to react swiftly could be life-saving in dangerous situations.

While his brother was training in the open wilderness, she used their home to train and be proficient in her skill on a daily basis since she was nine. Grey has an old rubber human punching dummy that he constantly punches when he is around her age; now he is using a Wing Chun dummy as she saw his attack punches on a different training. Now his position, footwork, structure, efficiency, angles for deflection, precision, fluidity, coordination, simultaneous attack and defense, and more have been improved by this simple training.

Her dedication to training paid off before, as she noticed a significant improvement in her own skills. After a few months of using the rubber human punching dummy to surprise her mother, her reasons changed, and he asked his brother to train her how to use the Wing Chun punching and defense post that very evening.

After observing his sister's punching posture, her brother recognized her potential and decided to teach her the more advanced techniques of Wing Chun. Grey took the Wing Chun from his bedroom and place it in the living room open space, with his guidance, she began incorporating Wing Chun punching and protection techniques into her training routine, further enhancing her skills and preparing her for real-life combat situations.

her punches were still weak because she was still a ten year old but , Grey understand that with proper training she will eventually increase her punching power, speed and natural rhythm, Grey knew that with proper training, her punches would gradually become stronger and more impactful. He believed that as she continued to develop her technique and build her strength, she would be able to unleash her full potential.

After a few hours, they were both hungry, and Lailah was exhausted. with still a heavy heart they sat on their dining table not even remembering they were properly dress and clean, they ate their meal in silence. Lailah's brother could see the determination in her eyes, knowing that she was willing to put in the hard work to become a skilled fighter. As they finished their meal, he reassured her that with time and practice, she would become a force that would make their parents proud.

Lailah's dream of becoming a weapon builder was still as strong as ever, but adding survival and fighting skills will be more beneficial to her family. She does not want to be a weak burden to the Chevalier bloodline; even at a young age, she wants to face her parent's killers with the same murdering instinct, an eye for an eye.

She knew that becoming a skilled fighter would not only bring her personal satisfaction but also give her the power to seek justice for her parents. Lailah was determined to channel her anger and grief into becoming a force to be reckoned with, vowing to never let anyone harm her loved ones again.
