Chapter 166: Meeting other Candidates
I came out of the room with Lily.
She looked at me and said, “I told you before. The procedure would be extremely simple. Did you notice how he changed his demeanor after learning that you are the Prime Three candidate? When people realize that someone has the potential to sit at the top, the world works in this manner. They would do anything to please you hoping you would help them in the future.”
I shook my head. “We could do nothing about this. Anyway, do you know him?”
She nodded. “He spent some time on the frontier under Tanya. But due to his cowardliness, he applied to work at the headquarters. We were on the same team before.”
“Oh. Did you notice that he was attracted to you? I could see in his eyes that he was fascinated by your beauty,” I smiled and teased.
She shook her head. “Don’t say anything about him. He doesn’t deserve me. Anyway, we should finish the task first.”
My brows furrowed for the moment. “What do we have to do next?”
“Come with me,” she said and turned around to leave.
My gaze was fixed on her figure before I shook my head and followed her.
This headquarters was really huge. To think that I was roaming in this maze-like. Structure. It was truly unbelievable.
From time to time, Lily would inform me about the different departments in the headquarters. I was surprised when I got to know more details about it. To think that this massive organization is the heart of this planet. It was really unbelievable.
After walking and talking for a while. I stood before a room. Lily looked at me and said,
“Come on, go inside.”
I frowned and asked, “What is this room?”
She smiled and said, “It’s the meeting room.”
“You are not coming?” I asked her. I was surprised that she asked me to go inside alone.
She shook her head, “It’s only for the candidates for Prime Three.”
My brows were raised when I heard her words, “But why am I meeting them?”
“They may be your competitors. But remember. Forces are the united organization. You should get to know everyone.”
When I heard her words, a smirk formed on my face. Why is she telling me all this? I know what I have to do. But to think that they even prepared the meeting for me. I am really surprised.’
“What are you going to do now?” I asked her.
“Well, I also have some work in the headquarters. But don’t worry. We would meet when you finish the meeting,” Lily said as she held and patted my hands and turned around to leave.
I stood alone, my gaze was fixed on her. I could see that many people were gazing at me. A sigh escaped my lips as I pushed through the door.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw that it was a huge meeting room. With the big table placed at the center. It could accommodate almost five people.
I saw that a few of the soldiers were already seated there. And when I stepped into the room. Everyone turned to look at me.
While many of them frowned, a few of them smiled. Few of them even stood up when they saw me.
I was surprised by their behavior. Are they really the candidates for Prime Three? My gaze shifted to the one who stood up to welcome me. But I was surprised to find that all of them were women who had smiles on their faces while their eyes were telling a different story. But I could tell that they were fascinated by me.
My head shook subconsciously as I made my way towards them. Some of the men had a cold look in their eyes. While others were observing me curiously.
Just as I strolled towards them. One of the female soldiers came and stood in front of me. She was quite tall, her head reached till my nose, she had a round face and her sharp eyes were fixed on me. To be honest, she was really beautiful, but she couldn’t be compared to Tanya and Amelia.
“What’s your name?” Her hazel eyes were fixed on me, while her lips curled into a smile.
“Alan,” I smiled and said. To be honest, I could see that everyone became attentive when she asked the question.
“Alan,” she muttered as a lost look appeared in her eyes for a moment before she looked at me again.
“I am Anna,” she smiled and said.
I nodded, “Let’s sit,” and I sat on the nearest chair and she sat beside me. Her eyes were fixed on me.
“Did something happen to my face?” I asked her.
She shook her head, “No. I am really curious about you.”
My brows were raised and my gaze shifted to the remaining people who sat on the other side of the table. There are a total of ten candidates for the Prime three. This Anna is one of them.
“What are you curious about?”
“How could a guy like you become the candidate for Prime three?” She said to me as a smile was still visible on her face.
“Is there a problem with me becoming the prime candidate?” I asked her. I didn’t find it strange when she asked that question. I think I would be the last person who joined the list of candidates.
But my thoughts were interrupted when a man’s voice reached my ears.
“Yes, there is a problem,”
My gaze shifted to the man sitting opposite me. His skin was black, while his body was quite bulky. I could see protruding ears on his head. He really looked like a black bear. Maybe he is a hybrid.
My brows were raised when I looked at him. “Oh! So what is your problem?”
He scoffed and said, “You came out of nowhere. Do you have a history of spending time on the frontier? Every one of us has fought the enemies with our lives on the line and after so much struggle, we got to this position. But you appeared out of nowhere. I heard that it was Alexandra who referred to you. Maybe because of that you were selected as the candidate,”
I calmly listened to his ranting before I smirked and said, “Why are you barking like a dog. Oh, I forgot. You are a dog.”
His eyes went wide as he slammed the table.
“What did you say?” He shouted like a mad beast.
“I said, sit down,” and just as I glared at him. His face went stiff and he couldn’t even breathe. I controlled the air around him and made him unable to breathe.
After I got those memories, all of my understanding of the Powers has leveled up. I could use them without even thinking about it, as if its use has been ingrained in me.
His eyes were bloodshot as he struggled hard to breathe. I sighed and removed the control over the surrounding air.
He coughed heavily and gasped and took a deep breath. And he looked at me. I could see the fear in his eyes. He sat down quietly. He couldn’t even meet my eyes.
I saw that everyone has a shocked expression on their faces. They didn’t expect me to be so ruthless. Well, I have to do it. They don’t know about me and think that I came here because of a recommendation. To establish my authority, I could only target one of these fools.
They thought that I was just a newbie who knew nothing. I understand their plight. From that man’s words, I know that they have spent quite an amount of time fighting the enemies. But they are really arrogant when they thought they could deal with bullying me.
“I was scared,” Anna’s voice reached my ears and when I turned around to look at her, the smile was still visible on her face, as if my attack did not surprise her.
“Oh really? But you don’t look like a scared woman.” I smirked and asked.
Her brows were arched when she heard my words. “Oh! Why do you think that I am not scared?”
“You didn’t jump towards me and start crying,” I smirked. Does she really think that she could play with me? Who does she think she is?
And as expected, she had a surprised expression on her face. “Incredible. Truly Incredible. After such a long time, I have met someone who is really interesting. Do you know that the man in the forces is really boring? They couldn’t even excite me. But after a long time, I have met someone who could really make my life more interesting. We have a good future ahead.
I was really surprised by her reaction. I didn’t know that I would meet a character like her in the forces. She is really a tomboy. But what she said is true. After meeting all these people. My life here would be really interesting.
