CHAPTER 73 - Seed Of Vengeance 3

As the debriefing ended, the agents filed out of the hall leaving only Mr James whom remained in his seat while deep in thoughts.

James reflected on all that was told them by the woman earlier.

To think that such terrifying entities as mutants existed and walked among normal humans.

It was injustice!

Plain injustice!!

James had always believed that the dangers that plagued humanity dwelled in the advanced weapons and nuclear missiles that were constantly being produced by the top nations of the world.

But even at that, he felt that with enough preparation and precision it was a danger that could be still be handled.

But now, if he is to factor in the terrifying idea of the supposed existence of mutants, then it would mean one thing;

Humanity was doomed.

An entity that couldn't be stopped by conventional human weapons, is nothing but a nightmare.

Though he could choose not to believe what the lady explained to them, but with the undeniable evidences that she presented, it was quite hard to deny the existence of mutants.

While he was deep in his thoughts, a hand suddenly tapped his shoulder gently.

"Captain" agent Tolu called out as he stared at James.

James sighed after coming out of his reverie as he stood up from his seat slowly.

"You okay captain?" Tolu asked when he noticed the strange look on James' face.

"Am fine Tolu.....let's go"

As they both walked out of the hall, a woman accompanied by several agents, approached them.

"Captain James" the woman greeted as she came before James with an outstretched hand.

"Am Mrs Wura Williams of the Threat Reduction Agency (T.R.A)"

"Nice to meet you" James greeted as he took her outstretched hand in a handshake.

"If you don't mind captain James, we would appreciate it if you can work directly with us in this investigation, we would really appreciate it"

"Sure" James replied decisively as he nodded in acquiescence.

"Agent Musa was my close friend, so I would do everything I can to bring his killer to justice"

"That's good to know captain" Mrs Wura nodded in satisfaction.

"On that note, we'll contact you soon enough on the start off date of our investigation"

"Very well" James nodded and bade her goodbye as he watched her leave.

"Captain" Tolu whispered while glancing around.

"Does this incident affect our sabotage operation?"

"No" James shook his head.

"The sabotage will still go as planned.... nothing is changing that"

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

As Tisane followed Vivian into the CEO office, he noticed that apart from Mr Victor, there was one more person in the office.

"Mister Peter I want you to meet Tisane Bassey, whom is now an employee in this company"

Mr Victor said with a smile as soon as he saw Tisane come into the office.

Peter stared at Tisane with discontent, which he tried to hide as he simply walked up to Tisane and stretched out his hand for a handshake.

"Welcome to the Nigeria Production Limited Company Tisane"

"Uh....thanks" Tisane replied awkwardly as he shook hands with Peter.

"Don't worry kid, just stick with me and I'll show you the ropes around here"

Peter said as he tried to give a cheerful smile which was soon replaced with shock due to what he heard next;

"No need for that" Mr Victor interjected.

"He'll be working directly with me from here on"

Mr Peter's eyes widened as he stuttered in surprise;

"S–Sir y–you can't possibly mean that he'll be working as a top executive"

"Of course that's exactly what I mean"

"But sir–"

"Mr Peter do you have any problem with my decision?"

Mr Victor asked as he stared coldly at the gawking Peter.

Peter knew instantly that he had to be careful or else he'll incur the ire of the CEO, which will be disadvantageous for his ambitious plans.

"N–No sir.....I was just a bit surprised that's all"

"That'll be all then" Mr Victor said dismissively.

As Peter turned to leave with a hidden pout on his face;

"Mr Peter" Mr Victor called.

"Sir?"

"I want you to show Tisane around the company and get him registered into the company's database"

"Yes sir" Mr Peter said with a bow as he gestured towards Tisane to follow him.

Tisane was quite surprised about the whole scenario as he obediently followed behind Mr Peter.

Watching them both leave the office, Vivian suddenly shifted her gaze back to Mr Victor.

"Sir I don't think that would be a good idea"

"What do you mean?" Mr Victor asked with a raised eyebrow.

"He's dangerous sir" Vivian replied.

Mr Victor didn't ask whom she was referring to, as he could already guess.

But it still surprised him a bit that Vivian would regard someone as dangerous, even if that person is a mutant.

"Even for you?" He asked with a chuckle.

"Even for me sir" Vivian replied with a stern expression.

"Then it's okay then" Mr Victor replied suddenly with a smile.

"My speculations were correct"

"Sir what do you mean by that?" Vivian asked with confusion and surprise etched on her face.

"It means that the heavens have granted us with a golden opportunity to finally get the respect and status we deserve, and he is the key to achieving that"

Mr Victor pointed towards the door, as his smile became brighter.

Vivian frowned slightly when she saw the excited disposition of her boss.

She wasn't too surprised though by Mr Victor's behavior, because the moment Mr Victor stopped her from killing Tisane earlier in the boardroom meeting immediately after his battle with Matthew and crew, she knew it would come to this.

She had to admit it, as an advanced class mutant, she was actually quite wary of Tisane.

She saw his battle with Matthew and crew and knew that Tisane was a mutant whom possessed terrifying prospects.

In other words, from the mutant energy that she felt from him, he was nothing less than a top class mutant.

A top class mutant!

Mutants were ranked according to their strengths and abilities.

And then their ranks were then categorized into classes.

For E to D rank mutants, they were categorized as basic class.

For C to A rank mutants, they were categorized as advanced class.

For S to SS rank mutants, they were categorized as top class.

For SSS rank mutants, they were categorized as apex class.

A mutant's true strength and power begins to surface when said mutant steps into the advanced class category.

As for top class and apex class mutants, they were known to be the monsters of the mutant world!

And it's been quite a while since a top class mutant appeared in the African continent.

Tisane's emergence as a top class mutant would surely shake the entire continent!

So Mr Victor excitement was well placed and expected.

But there was only one problem, Vivian was not sure if Tisane being a top class mutant was actually a good thing for them.

Why?

Because of what she felt when she tried to attack him earlier.

It was true that Mr Victor ordered her to stand down, but he was not the main reason why she actually stopped.

She stopped her attack because she felt extreme danger emanating from Tisane.

It was a sort of danger that seemed to be dormant and would only surface when greatly threatened.

She felt that if she had proceeded with her attack, she and everyone in the office might not have left the place alive!

This was not due to Tisane's abilities but a terrible darkness which she felt resided deep within him.

And because of this, instead of seeing him as a blessing, she saw him as a threat.

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

"Mr Mohammed I want you to understand something" the director said as he walked Mr Moh to the parking lot.

"The mutant who attacked your children is not someone you would want to mess with"

"What nonsense are you spouting director...huh?!"

Mr Moh snapped in rage.

"Do I look like am scared.....my son and daughter were almost killed....killed...you get that?!!"

"I don't care whom it is, I will make sure I have my revenge!!"

Mr Moh was obviously blinded by hate and rage as he shook his fist vehemently in order to buttress his claim.

Unnoticed by him, the director actually had a sly grin on his face as he then gave a pretentious sigh.

"Look am not supposed to do this, but for the fact that you almost lost your son, I will make this one exception"

Taking out his smartphone, he made some tapping gestures on the screen with his fingers and presented the smartphone to Mr Moh who stared at the screen in anticipation.

"That's the boy who attacked your children"

Mr Moh stared at the picture of a young boy in the smartphone, as his eyes spat out rage.

"His name is Tisane Bassey" the director continued.

"He's the son of the famous captain James Bassey of the Nigerian Special Forces (NSF)"

"Good...good!!" Mr Moh said with a wrathful smile on his face.

"They had the audacity to mess with me and my children.....I'll return the favor a hundred fold!!"

Mr Moh entered his car without bothering to thank the director or bade him goodbye as he drove off immediately.

"Well" the director said as he watched Mr Moh drive into the distance.

"The seed of vengeance has been sown"

The grin on his face broadened into a smile.
