chapter 25: Headquarters of Z

Headquarter of hero associations City Z

Few of the people were watching a telecast, where Scarlett was reporting on the big screen

" President, why are we watching this again and again,? " One of the guys asked who has black short-haired, and white skin with a muscular build

An old man around 50 with a small white-haired, brown skin tone who was wearing a black suit answered while turning his chair to the handsome guy standing beside him " what's your name lad "

The young guy hesitates for a moment as he thought he had asked something that he shouldn't have but there was no going back " Ton...Tony "

" Tony... A ranked Hero am I right "

" yes President "

President sat up from the chair looking at him,

other people who are standing beside them began sweating they cursed this new guy's luck, Nobody dared to say a word to President yet but this new guy ...

" I like your curiosity... boy.. from now on you are my secretary "

Everyone's mouth fell open after hearing President's words, others were pushing their limits to become the secretary of the president who was the leader of the city Z but this new guy on his first day managed to catch the attention of the president.

" ... do you accept? "

" yes... sir. I mean president" he was trembling but President put his hands on his shoulder and whirls him to others

" From now on he is my Secretary... if any of you have any important info tell Tony " President again turn at the front screen thoughtfully after raises sending away everyone.

"Tony...from now on you are going to follow my orders... "

" yes president "

" Good "

President pulled a file from a table behind him. He gestured to read the strange file. Tony wiped his sweat from the forehead before started reading it.

---

one month ago portal have had opened in the northwest forest, not once but twice, and the energy reading of that portal was immeasurable. Energy reading devices of all of the cities were incapable to take management of those two portals. Everyone was unaware of the rank of that Gate but fortunately, that gate closed automatically.

After that incident, every president of the human world gathered in one meeting to find a source of that energy but even after months of investigation nobody able to detect anything in the northwest forest close to City Z. But still, this information was kept secret from the public and only a few of the peoples knew about this like presidents and their trusted peoples

---

Tony's facial expression was changed after reading a top-secret file of the Hero Association. Tony felt helpless while pondering about a gate that nobody able to distinguish in the entire human technology, last time when the highest rank gate have had opened in the F City. It was an S rank gate and it almost destroyed the foundation of city F, even powerful S ranked heroes was struggled in that gate, only 5 of 20 people able to come alive. these heroes were the strongest among all of the ranked heroes at that time.

He could feel that this new gate was way beyond their measurements, if this news leaks in the media then he wouldn't want to think about what will happen...

" Tony... "

The panic expression could be seen on Tony's face

" Yes sir..."

" you asked me why are we looking at this telecast again and again... "

Tony remembered his question, He again began pondering inside that how were these two events are relatable...

" This girl Scarlett is my close friend's granddaughter... you knew Firefox...Right"

Tony visibly surprised as he heard President Edwards's words and unable to understand the powerful man like a firefox who was the founder of the Dragon clan and one of survival of that deadliest S rank gate has a second granddaughter that was a Scarlett, The girl that he has been crushing since he first saw her on TV.

Tony thought Scarlett was an orphan but she was the grandchildren of legendary Firefox...

" it's. impossible. I mean then why she was hiding from everyone like she never exists in the Dragon clan "

" it's... complicated... but you don't have to worry about her...no harm comes to her, no matter what I will protect her like my own granddaughter... "

Tony observed President Edwards Sad but determine Facial expression as he thought, there was something more about her than President was telling me and by the way, but he couldn't want to push further cause he was already overwhelmed by this secret informations

President sat on the chair and facepalms himself, he was gazing into the unknown for few minutes but again smile spread on his face " Tell me, boy... can I trust you "

Tony lets out in a serious tone " Trust me, sir, no matter what I will protect you and do everything you wants without any questions "

President Edwards glance at Tony, seeing his committed face, he chuckled

" then I have to find someone else for this job "

Tony's eyes widen. He shortly kneeled down

" I am sorry.. sir did I do something.. wrong "

Presidents Edward says " everything is fine except your last words.. you will never ask questions. it's bothering me. I like people who wanted to know things, that's why I hired you. "

Tony gulped his saliva, he regretted his last words" I am. sorry sir.. but please.. don't"

" don't worry my boy... just relax.. so back to business, the previous question"

Tony again sat up and followed president Edward's gaze to the front screen...

" I am going to tell you secret information that only I know... look at the background of that telecast carefully... "

Tony prepared himself to handle another shock like earlier. he was observing the smallest details about that video when President speaks up

" That place you are seeing was where that two gates spawn and vanished, exactly that day after few minutes before Scarlett found a Dead snake and recorded that video "

Tony freezes and stares at the screen with wide eyes " this... how. "

President Edwards shakes their head with laughter " You already overwhelmed by this... oh boy, there was a lot of secrets were hiding in this small world "

Tony bow his head in embarrassment, he asked

" and that's mean... because of your order Scarlett didn't reveal that video yet... but why now "

" See this is what I talking about... curiosity is the best thing humans have.

" About that.. you are right, today's atmosphere is calmer than that day. if Scarlett revealed that video back then... her life might be in danger. Not only by the humans but other races were got involved in this issue. "

" Other races-"

President only raises his left eyebrows at Tony's words and Tony fell silent. he started trembling in fear...

Tony thought in his mind until now he believed that in their earth only humans were survived but now he was like...my whole life was a lie

" When Scarlett went to that forest with her there were only four people are presented one girl and two D ranked heroes for her safety but... "

Tony raised his head in confusion, he was wishing to hear everything that was President saying today

President points him towards a computer beside them and when Tony looks at the computer screen he saw a Black haired boy...

" When they came back to the city, this guy was also with them and according to Scarlett, he was the one who was standing with the dead snake Or we could use the title of B ranked dungeon boss. the dungeon that has had broke a few years ago but nobody able to see him until... "

Tony looks back at the president for few moments

" I want you to keep an eye on him " ...
