Digital World

Daniel's heart was beating very hard at the sudden appearance of his dreamed girl. He immediately felt very happy inside.

A smile grew on his face.

"Nana" he called while smiling. "How are you?" He asked.

"Hi, Daniel! I never thought we could meet here!" she said, and smiled back at the man.

"Yes, I also did not know if you'd be here today," he said again, and of course, smiled incessantly.

"So… Nana! What's up?" Asked Mickey, he rose from his chair.

He walked over to Velina, and they clapped their hands together, like what they used to do.

One hand up then down, clapped their hands, and then pulled their hands out like a rapper.

Velina laughed, "you remember!"

Mickey just shrugged his shoulders, then patted on his shoulders as if he was trying to brush off the dust, in a 'swag' style.

Meanwhile, Daniel kept staring at the girl.

"Are you still busy?" Velina asked directly.

"Not really, we were just chatting out of boredom here!" Mickey replied, putting one hand in his pocket.

"Do you have a business with Mickey?" Daniel hopes the answer was 'no', however, Velina's sudden appearance at that place was definitely looking for Mickey, not him.

Velina nodded without saying a word.

Of course, that answer made his heart bleed out of jealousy.

"Alright, I'll wait outside!" He replied, a disappointment well hidden in his heart.

"Thank you, bro!" Mickey replied, as he waved his hand and smiled at the guy.

He then turned his gaze to Velina.

"So?" He asked, to the point.

Velina took out something from her pocket. It's a little box. She then put it on the table and pushed it towards Mickey.

Mickey immediately opened the box. There was still a burning smell lingered in the box.

There was a thin cylindrical chip half the size of an adult's little finger inside that box he just opened.

"I don't know. I found it in the body of someone who intends to harm our family." Velina paused for a moment, staring deeply at Mickey.

"What is clear, this is not made by us. I do not know whether this is made by one of our competitors in Vanesia or from abroad" she continued again.

"Does Marino knew about this?" Asked Mickey, he took the object with the chopsticks he always kept in his desk drawer.

He then sniffed the chip and examined it with the naked eye.

Velina shook her head.

"Why didn't you tell him?" Ask Mickey again.

According to him, this does not make sense. Marino was the eldest son of the Marcellos. Shouldn't he be the one who was taking the responsibility for the safety of his family?

"Well, he has other things to do. Besides, I like my job, thank you" Velina replied with a smile.

"Do you think you can help me?" She asked, while she folded her arms across her chest.

"Well, let's see…" He was still watching the chip closely.

"The chip suddenly caught fire while we were researching it. I'm sure it wasn't short current. But someone controlled it from afar."

"Uh, that's terrific!" Mickey suddenly had a wild imagination if the chip exploded while it was planted inside someone's body.

You can imagine, if those chips were implanted in a person's body, then that person would have to do whatever he was told to not be detonated.

especially if the chip was implanted in the troops so that they could be easily tracked and controlled like puppet troops.

"That person is an elite policeman. I think he is just a pawn. He committed suicide shortly after he was arrested by us. Then I found this. It seems like someone out there was not trying to hurt us, but he wants us to know that he exists!." Velina analyzed the situation clearly.

"Hmm… This guy obviously knew that the Marcellos are a very strong opponent, but he intentionally and fearlessly threatened you guys like this…" Mickey frowned, he stroked his chin after he put the chip back into the box.

From the outside, Mickey did look like a very friendly and outspoken man.

You could say that he was very talkative compared to Marino or Daniel.

However, despite his appearance and childish behavior, he was a genius man.

Together with Marino, they both built My Tech, a startup company in the field of digital games.

In just one year, their company became one of the largest digital unicorn companies in Vanesia.

They built some kind of strategic games, but, what the public didn't know was, they also created and sold digital games specially created for the military as a digital training purpose.

"Nana, do you want to try my new toy?" Asked Mickey, while he hander her a transparent pair of glasses.

The back of the glasses was attached to an elastic band. The glasses looked light, but the glasses were made of special bullet-proof material.

Velina accepted the glasses.

"Why don't you make a contact lens version? Isn't that more comfortable?" Velina asked.

"I've made it, however, it's riskier in my opinion. Not to mention if the wearer has minus or cylinder eyes, it's really troublesome making contact lenses for that purpose!"

"Hmm… that makes sense!" Velina replied while wearing the glasses.

"Eh! Use this too!" Mickey handed her four bracelets.

Each bracelet would be placed on each of her four limbs.

The function of the bracelet was to read the movements of the wearer to get the maximum gaming experience.

"Sure! Bring it on! Let's play! Play together with Daniel too!" She immediately put on the bracelets on her four limbs and turned on her glasses.

Instantly, before her, several digital images started to appear one by one.

It was as if she was in a new world.

"Waaah! This is really cool!" Velina was completely dazzled by the digital world before her eyes.
