The Young master's fake bride and her lucky system -
Chapter 436 - 436 Secret system hosts
436: Secret system hosts 436: Secret system hosts The boardroom in which this meeting was being held had cameras and someone else was watching the meeting, the captain who was in charge of running the operations of the hidden city.
He already had all the information on Alix which was being disseminated but he wanted to hear the opinions of the others on the matter.
It was the first time they were seeing someone with a dragon system after all.
While it was exciting, it also presented a new kind of danger.
All the occupants of the hidden city or those with access to it were people with systems or associated with such people and their affairs in one way or another.
All of them worked for the government in one capacity or another.
There was only one fate for anybody with a system, you worked for the government or you worked for the other side, the dark side as they called it.
And if you worked for the dark side, you were an enemy that had to be hunted down.
If you wanted to stay neutral then you had to hide so deeply, never activating your system or using it.
Otherwise, even the smallest unnatural movement would result in one being found by one of the two sides first.
At the podium Nuwa continued sharing details about Alix.
“Tai Alix has taken the life of one person so far, a fellow system host.” Nuwa announced.
Other people in the room whispered this and that at that announcement.
“Does this mean she works for the dark side?” A scared Suri asked.
“Is she part of everyone, there is a rumor that it’s a group of contract killers with systems?” Another person asked.
“We cannot bring a killer into the hidden city even of she has a system.
It could be dangerous for us all.” “Let the soldiers or hunters handle this.
I have a water filtration system, how do I defend myself against a dragon?” Nuwa pressed a button on the podium and it made a loud screeching noise, forcing everyone to cover their ears and keep quiet.
She couldn’t answer all of their questions at the same time.
“I need you all to be calm and quiet until the end of my presentation.
The system host that she killed is Lai Yanfang, a member of the dark side that has been one of the people we have been watching for a long time.
Her watchers were Maggie and Mantis who also confirmed her death.
Lai Yanfang sent her men from the Red eagles to kill Alix so the circumstances here are understandable, it can be considered self defense.” “Does this mean she will be joining the hunters if she comes over to our side?” Suri asked loudly.
The young girl caused another stir in the room.
Hunters were elite system users, the strongest among their kind.
They were the ones who were sent to hunt down system hosts that used their abilities to do harm the powerless.
They were also like heroes, as they were sent out on different missions to stop danger.
System hosts existed in every country.
This was a secret that all world leaders had agreed to keep in order to maintain control over the people.
If it was discovered that some people had systems or special abilities, there was no telling what would happen.
All they knew was that it would bring disaster.
However, countries were using these hosts to do their dirty work of course.
They would be sent to destabilize different regions, smuggle weapons, assasinate powerful or rich individuals, scientists.
They were used as thieves, stealing national treasures of other countries.
They even engaged in espionage___, many system hosts were used as spies.
“Well…she is a dragon after all.
Dragons are meant to fight battles.
There is a shared bounty by all countries of one billion out on the weather guy.
Who better to capture him than a dragon from our country.” Professor Long asked.
“I heard the Americans caught him.” Macau responded.
More whispering that turned into loud conversation slowly filled the room.
“That’s not true.
Haven’t you seen the news this morning, there was another earthquake somewhere in East Africa.
It happened during a time when the annual Asia-Africa conference was being held and guess how many prominent people died?” “Really.” “Awesome, one billion is still up for grabs.” Nuwa watched the group of people she was addressing lose focus and then pull out their phones or other gadgets to catch up with current affairs.
It didn’t even take a few seconds for some to start excusing themselves from the room.
What she had learned over time when it came to these people was that they liked money.
It was like there was a special correlation between poverty and systems.
They always chose poor hosts who were filled with a desire to get rich.
With information that one billion was still up for grabs, all of the hunters left and half of other hosts who worked with them as their partners on ground.
Even the soldiers left and soon, only four people were left in the room.
Mantis, Macau, Nuwa and a young man named Wukong.
“While I have stayed behind, it’s only out of curiosity.
Everyone knows I have a wealth generation system.
I am the wealthiest man in the country.
I don’t need to chase one small billion but I am interested in the dragon maybe working for me to transport some goods.” Wukong cleared the air in his lazy arrogant voice.
The rest smiled dryly at him and returned to business.
“I guess i will be the one to approach her then.” Macau said.
He patted himself on the shoulder and smiled.
He had long been interested in Alix and wanted to know her up close.
Watchers did not really take on missions of introducing new system hosts into the fold but it seemed like everyone else was more interested in the one billion than anything else.
Besides, they loved participating in the hunts in anyway they could.
Others had things to do, better things according to them than this.
There was nothing new about the routine of introducing a new system host into the fold.
“But, i have a question.
There have been no new system hosts in the world for two years now.
How sure are we that she has a system and it’s a dragon system?
Have you seen some of those things in her mall.
They are not from our earth no matter what the label says.
Where did those things come from?
And the weird cats, where is she getting them from?
Aren’t we rushing by assuming that she has a dragon system?” Macau raised many good points that had not been considered before.
A voice came from the screen, a voice which belonged to the captain.
“It’s more important to bring her into the fold than to figure out what kind of system she has.
Now, these are the strengths and weaknesses of a dragon according to research.
If she doesn’t comply, we might have to use extreme measures to bring her in.
The goal is to make sure that she understands the laws and follows them.
Also remember that we are doing this for her protection.
If the other side gets to her first, it will be dangerous.
They changed their recruitment tactics four years ago.
They will kill her if she remains unallied.
Go immediately and introduce her to our world.”
