Chapter:-84 A Trace Of Magic

1999, China, Hong-Kong….

(Inside Mikaelson clan vacation estate)

Rebekah exited the kitchen while holding two cups in her hands; she was wearing a light blue dress along with the Purple-pendant gifted by her brother. She had been designing a whole lot of projects for her family vacation estate and for the apartment construction in Japan.

She was currently in Hong-Kong under a request from her little brother, he wanted her to design a secret base under their Vacation Estate so that he could operate from Hong-Kong if needed and even keep an eye of the market as a lot of stuff was being sold at the auction houses and underworld.

Henrik was currently helping her in her task while also working on his research together with Freya who was operating from Tokyo. Both of them were working on establishing a broad server, connecting the two trade hubs and monopolize certain goods.

Rebekah was wearing bunny slippers and moved towards the couch but not before passing one of the cups within her hands to the person sitting in the living room.

"Thank you sister…."

Rebekah sat on the couch in the living room while, Henrik was sitting on the table, using a custom-made laptop to access the Level-12 government information from the Japanese server.

Henrik had been keeping a watch on the network using the Darknet to search for any abnormalities; it has been about 50 years after the end of World War-II and according to Khan another [Cosmic-storm] was sure to hit the planet.

Henrik wasn't worried about the storm itself but rather the after-effects it would bring to the climate and habitat of the world. After handing the command to Kiyohime temporarily, he decided to visit Rebekah who had finished designing the perfect vacation estate for their family and was busy within the secret base project.

Henrik took out a custom-made phone from his pocket and placed it on the table before dialling Freya's number, her communicator to be precise. He inserted the earphone in ears and waited for the call to connect.

*Beep*

"Henrik?"

"Hello Freya, are there any updates on the [Lightsaber] project?"

"Unfortunately no, the composition of the meteoroid interferes with the scanning instruments while witch-craft doesn't work on it. Other than being an extremely hard alloy and a great conductor for [Force], I haven't been able to gather any new information of it."

"Hmm...What about the [Cosmic-storm]?"

"No idea, our technology is still limited and using witchcraft, I can only say that the storm would surely bring changes in the world but whether these changes are positive or negative, I have no idea."

"Thank you sister, I apologize for burdening you with the research."

"You don't need to apologize at all! I am rather enjoying myself! Guess being a witch changes your interests."

"Haha…..I will be sure to bring a gift for you when I return."

"Well then be sure to bring me a few [Archilac-herbs], I want to try and create a more practical system so that we can utilize witchcraft to its maximum capacity."

"Ok sure…."

*Beep*

Henrik removed the leads from his ears and kept his phone back into his pocket before surfing through the net. Rebekah lazily turned towards Henrik and asked in a curious tone.

"Why are you so interested in the [cosmic-storm] Henrik?"

"The effects brought by the first storm had drastic effects on the whole world, people lost magic, Yokai population is basically extinct and spirits have become just fairy tales and now that another one is about to hit the planet, I am worried about the effects it will bring to the society."

"Then what about the secret base you want to construct under our vacation estate?"

"Just a necessary precaution….."

"..."

He didn't entertain Rebekah for much longer and she fell asleep on the couch, he carried her to her room and covered her with a blanket. She had been working hard for a long time to help contribute to his cause and create a peaceful haven for her family.

Henrik appreciated her help just like he appreciated Freya's involvement in consolidating their family's future, after all the [Light-sabers] were meant for the Mikaelsons to use.

Henrik continued to keep a close eye of the network to notice any disturbances in any country and his patience did pay off. A few hours later, he found a restricted video showing police officers possessing special powers stopping a nuclear act of terrorism carried out by a fanatic group in order to fulfill an apocalyptic prophecy.

It was first referred to as "Supernatural Powers" by the U.S government, though further research disproved that definition.

And just like that, First verifiable use of new magic recorded by the USA. The government was keeping a tight lid on this information but Henrik with the help of advanced technology was able to directly watch the video and collect data on the research that was being conducted by the U.S government.

According to what Khan had stated, this was just the beginnings of the change, the environment in the surrounding was slowly changing and evolving, though whether it was good or bad for the world. Only time would tell.

Henrik immediately forwarded the video and data to Freya in Japan and scheduled to hold an important meeting with the other four leaders in the Government as soon as he returns.

"There are still a few days left until my flight back to Tokyo, maybe I should kidnap a panda from China and gift it to Freya? Yes!, I have decided, Panda it is then…."

"Hmm….Rebekah would most likely stay to finish her project before coming back to Tokyo, though Garcia is accompanying her I can't help but feel worried about her safety even though I know it a stupid this to worry about, given her power."

"....Maybe I should buy a small gift for Kiyohime too."

"I hate shopping…..!"

Henrik switched off the laptop and shifted towards the drawer of the desk near the window before opening it, revealing a piece of paper within it with 'Leave your credit card~ Regards Rebekah' written over it, causing Henrik's lips to twitch every now and then.
