Chapter 8

Chapter 8

A month had gone by after the Press Conference.

When the details about the phone were released, there was hysteria in the whole world. Though the cost of the phone did bring some people down it did not stop them to think about the future when they have the phone in hand.

The government wanted to somehow stop this from being released but just some beautiful videos and other records about them were sent to the police, press, reporters, and all news channels and it was released and this made all the others who wanted to stop if from releasing to shut up and not cross paths with my Enterprise.

There were Hydra members involved in it too, but Andrew had other plans for them. Let's just say he wanted them to die, he did not want them to be put in some prison just to be released later.

Andrew also provided the phone to his friends and they were ecstatic when they held it in their hands.

Flashback

Andrew POV

"Wow man, even when the details were released about the phone and its features, I did not believe it, let's just say seeing it makes us believe it," Ray his friend was holding the phone and trying to decode it with his eyes on how it was created.

"How did you come up with this?" Claire asked intrigued by the phone.

"Bro, you should have let us in on this, it would have been so cool, night stays, ordering dinner, playing games, thinking about it makes me feel as if heaven is here," Mike with an exaggerated manner spoke with the phone placed on his heart.

"There was not even a single word about the project, and it was not Andrew who created it, it was his company," Claire said as she went and slapped him on the back of his head.

"That hurts, don't do that again," with pain Mike said.

"But like he said you could have let us in on some details before," Claire told.

"It's not like I did not want you guys to join the Development Team, it's more like it was already in the completion stage when we met, only testing its working was left, sorry" I explained and apologized.

"This is a completely brilliant phone man, congrats on taking us all on the first step to the future," said Ray as he patted my back.

Mike and Claire did the same as well and then they started to ask me a lot of questions which I answered but not all, don't want to give all the answers they have to find some on their own.

Flashback END

(Andrew POV)

"What are we going to do about them?" Gerald asked as we were watching the details of some people on the screen.

"We have already removed thousands of Employees and added new ones with good backgrounds, they will already be in on us, if not they will start after this," I told him.

"Show the list of the ones who are trying to hack into our database to get the details of the phone and also the ones who have tried to have contact with the development team," asked Gerald.

The screen in front of them refreshed with new details and images.

"These 24 of them are the ones who have been trying, the left side which has 4 are the ones who tried to hack into our database," said Zestia.

Finn Storm, Edward Morgan, Ann Raven, and Dwayne Cooper are the four who tried hacking into our database directly and they were Hydra, the rest are trying to contact the development team somehow.

When I first came to know that one of the Development Team members was attacked on the 3rd day after the phone release, I called all of them and made sure they were kept safe with high security.

Then after a week of the phone release, someone tried to hack into the companies database which Zestia easily blocked.

This started to occur a lot that I went and killed one of them who did that, of course after finding all the information I needed from him. Through him only I knew Hydra was the one involved.

"Zestia, find their locations," my voice was cold.

"Are you sure, Master Andrew?" Gerald asked me.

"Well, they don't seem to get the message, so I will make it clear this time, and if they try to do it again, it won't be Hand that I destroy first, it will be them. Before I forget, any result from the book I got?"

"We were able to decode it yesterday and 2 shipments have already been completed, the next one will be in 3 days."

"What are the contents of the shipments?"

"Drugs and Human trafficking," Gerald replied with anger.

"We will save them, Gerald," I assured him.

"Zestia after finding the location of the 4 Hydra agents focus on this matter, I need you to go through every camera on the docks, follow it and find out where it had gone last," I told.

After a few minutes, Zestia spoke: "Sir, I have found the 4 of them, they are all in the same place at the moment," she then showed the location.

"They are open, we can't attack them now, Zestia be a dear and hack the cameras and any phone nearby, so we can in listen," said Gerald.

In seconds, the cameras were hacked, including a phone, a female voice was heard around us.

"We have to report to the headquarters, they are removing Hydra Agents somehow and we don't know how," said Ann.

"They are already in on us, whenever we try to hack into the database, we are not even able to penetrate even a single security they have placed," commented Finn

"Yes, it takes hours to just break one and then another comes, I don't know how they did it" continued Dwayne

"1 hour, pack up your things and we will meet at the Airstrip, I will send the location of Airstrip soon, we should stay there as we have some members. From there we can contact the superiors to send a quinjet and report as well, if there is a quinjet already there we can leave immediately, Hail Hydra" told Edward and whispered the last two words.

The infamous *Ding* sound was heard in Andrew's mind.

They all agreed and left in different directions from the shop.

"Zestia, you know what to do and bring the suit out."

Andrew then brought the status screen.

*********************************************

"The Crimson Terror, what kind of dungeon will this be? Failure Hydra will know and start to take over Andrew enterprises, bullshit as if that will be possible. Wait… Zola, that fucking data-brain will be able to do it if he hacks Zestia. From the quest I can say they know nothing about this, then will the report contain any information about a possible AI? This went from normal to danger for me." I thought.

"Sir, Edward has shared the location," I heard Zestia's voice.

"An abandoned Airstrip," Gerald said when he saw the location displayed on the screen.

"It's not abandoned sir Gerald, as Edward told there are some who are there at this moment, armed and also a quinjet that he mentioned," Zestia said as she added another camera display.

"Gerald, create a layout, find every single detail about the ones who are on the Airstrip, I will move now," I moved towards the suit and wore it in a minute.

"I am out"

"We will be ready before you get there," said Gerald.

30 minutes Time-skip.

In these 30 minutes, Gerald and Zestia were able to create a layout of the Airstrip base and made a similar model to that of when I went against Hand.

I used Geppo and Soru combined to reach the base and while going towards I stopped small crimes that were happening and disappeared quickly.

If you are wondering about the Armament Haki, I got it when I reached 15% Template Experience. All I can say was even when it is at a Basic level it was broken. Seriously, I know nothing about Gol D. Roger from the anime, his strength, his power, and his various abilities, to put it simply, he is a monster who has the right to rule the One-Piece World.

The basic level itself allowed me to coat my weapons with Armament Haki for some time. I can increase it as my body strength increases.

The first time it was similar to Observation Haki with no level tag with it, I could coat Armament Haki in some parts of my body for a very short duration. But when it came to 17.5% it got boosted to a whole new level.

Instant is all took for me to coat it and increase it gradually.

His memories of how fluidly he used Armament Haki came along as my Template Experience increased. He used it so minimal but that minimal was enough to destroy walls and bring buildings down with a punch. He only coats at the area it is required while fighting and was able to bring destruction upon contact.

Now to Observation Haki, even at the Basic Level, Roger used it all the time with no interval. It was like he had an endless amount of Haki even at the beginning and know how to use it. It was as if he was born with Haki and the knowledge on how to use it the best way.

The guy's a monster and if he did not have the disease, I can assure you this he alone will be enough to bring the destruction of World Government.

I came out of my thoughts as I nearing the Airstrip and decided to stop.

"Gerald, layout ready?"

"Yes, there are 37 of them in the base, some monitoring the areas through high buildings, some patrolling, there is also a checking point to enter the base, they should be entering through that area only and Andrew, there is one problem,"

"What is it?"

"The base is considered as a Shield Base,"

"If we attack, we get into Shield's Radar, here I thought the day could not get worse, no choice Gerald, we are going to what we decided to do,"

"There are some who might not be Hydra Agents, Master Andrew," his tone told what I felt as well.

"Figure out who, we still have 20 minutes, I hope you I don't kill them all"

"Zestia, how many routes are there to enter the base,"

"Sir, there are 2 routes but they do converge at one point before they enter the base but it is close to the checking point," replied Zestia.

"Navigate me to that point, I will strike at that place,"

I soon reached there and hid myself waiting for them to come.
