Upgrade

Jason watched as the old man put the young man inside his car and drive off, as they disappeared from his sight Jason called Derry once again.

"Yes, brother?"

Derry asked.

"Near the hillside, a black luxury car will pass through, see who that person is, do a quick background check and tell me"

Jason said.

"Ok I will look into it"

Derry said and ended the call.

Inside the hideout, Derry looked at the huge screen in front of him and changed one of the sections into the nearest camera near Jason's location.

After waiting for a few seconds Derry saw a black luxury car riding away into the highway since the glass is tinted he couldn't see who is inside but he noted down the number plate and quickly ran a scan through the country's car registration because it is one of those special number plates, but he didn't have to go through every number plate as it is special, and with the overpowered supercomputer it only took a few minutes.

Derry found the owner of this car, he is actually from a very influential family from the neighboring city called Buldonia, it is on the northwest of Freyton.

Derry looked further into this young man's family and found out that they own a real estate business, they buy many lands and build many exotic resorts and luxury apartments for the rich and influential people, he is from the Gou family, they are the most powerful family in Buldonia.

After getting every information he can find on the young man and his family, Derry forwarded this information to Jason.

________________

Jason has entered the warehouse and took a seat in front of the huge pile of Mana Stones, suddenly he received a message and it is from Derry.

Jason went through the information Derry sent him and shook his head, he thought that this kid might be from some really big family but he is just an idiot, his family won't even fall under Jason's radar, they are very similar to the families in Freyton, they can only rule in one city, they don't have control like the major families that live in the capital city.

'What a waste of time'

Jason said and put the phone away and looked at the Mana Stones.

"Its time to absorb all of it in one go"

Jason said and walked towards the Mana Stones and touched it and let the energy go into his body, as soon as he felt his pores opened, energy started to rush through every pore in his body like a raging river, he felt lite headed as the energy started to go into his body.

His muscles and bones started to change again, the cells in his body started to change, every cell in his body acted like a singular being communicating with their neighbor, all these cells started to change becoming more efficient in consuming energy, they even started to purify some energy by themselves.

These Mana Stones are very concentrated and filled with high-level mana which is a type of energy, Jason's body consumed most of it but it was still able to throw out a lot of impure stuff out of his body.

Jason then fell on the ground as his head felt dizzy, the sudden changes in his body made it really hard for him to move and he blacked out. When he gained back his consciousness his body felt completely different.

He had experienced it before but not to this extent, during his time in Banor city, when he absorbed all that energy from the energy source, he felt a little off while walking and moving around as he was trying to adjust to the changes in his body.

But right now its completely different, he felt like he didn't know his body at all, he could move his arms and legs but he didn't know how much power or force should he put behind them to walk and do any movements.

'Fuck, I should have done this slowly, I thought I will be able to take it all in'

Jason thought as he let his body rest on the cold floor as he felt his body, he could clearly tell that his senses have greatly exceeded from before, he could feel the tiniest breeze on his skin, he wanted he could hear the grinding of an insect's mandibles.

An hour passed but Jason is still on the ground.

'I really fucked up this time, I never expected that these mana stones would be so potent'

Jason thought. When he had observed the energy source underground in Banor he never felt like this, that energy source was way larger than this pile of mana stones here but when he saw these mana stones he could tell they are more concentrated.

But he didn't think they would render him useless for an hour, he soon started to regain control over his body, he started to adapt and slowly got back to his feet, he is still wobbly, he tried to stand still but he applied a little more pressure under his legs causing cracks to appear below him.

'Shit, I need more time'

Jason thought and started to walk slowly, with lite steps he started to walk around the warehouse, he did stumble at first due to uneven energy distribution in his legs, but he soon got hang on it, after a few tries he was finally able to walk properly again.

He then tried to jump and suddenly found his head stuck on the ceiling.

'For fuck sake, I will kill myself, let's take it slow'

He turned his head and fell on the ground again, he again got back to his feet and started to walk around the run slowly, soon he started to do some powerful physical movements along with stretches to fully get used to his new body.

'This is going to be a long day'.
