The Black Market Chapter 12 - Bad News

Cale gave one billion pesos cash to Ulric and said calmly "I want my security company to look grand and imposing."

"I will do my best, my lord. By the way my lord, what will be our company's name?" Ulric asked while looking at Cale.

"Our company name eh. I have already thought about it. Let's call it Tyrranical Tower."

Ulric and Daphne both showed surprised looks at the arrogant name.

'Looks like the master is truly serious about this.' they thought to themselves.

"I will get it done as soon as possible my lord." Ulric said.

"Good! As for you Daphne, your task is to create identities for all of you guys. It is quite troublesome to walk around the streets without any identity, so this is also of great importance." Cale glanced at Daphne and said seriously.

"My lord, are you asking me to create fake identies for all of us?" Daphne probed.

Cale smiled at her and said "No, I don't want you to make fake ones. If someone from abroad investigates thoroughly then it will be quite a problem. So what you will do is to infiltrate the system of the Philippine agencies and make real identities for everyone. Can you do this?" The smiling look never left his handsome face.

"I will do it within three to five days my lord. But if we include the two hundred men tomorrow, then I might need at least two weeks." Daphne thought for a moment before flashing two fingers at Cale.

"That is good enough. Make sure to not make any mistakes on this. The Philippines Intelligence Department might be lacking, but there are several good men within their ranks. Don't leave any traces behind and do everything cleanly." Cale looked at her solemnly erasing all the awkwardness she felt from earlier.

Ulric went out of the mansion and Cale ordered two men to go with him and act as bodyguards. Daphne also started doing her assigned task and left the room hastily.

"All I have to do is wait now. Oh, I need create an intelligence department of my own. I need to track the members of my Phantom Wolf Squad. They may be young and carefree today, but with my training, then they will reached their peak strengths within five years. If only I had the virtual training environment of Earth Alliance then I might be able to help them reached their full potential in one to two years." Cale said to himself as he thought of his brothers in the Phantom Wolf Squad.

In the year 2036, four years before the 'Great Invasion', the virtual reality system was invented by the collaboration between several big companies. With all the talents working together, they finally made a world in a virtual universe where realism is at least 80 percent.

After a year of constant modification, they finally reached a realism level of 98 percent. And after the success, humanity flourished in to a new era in the virtual world.

With this virtual technology, the Earth Alliance which was founded in 2040 made use of this system. They created a new world in where they can shape their soldiers into elites.

The project was successfully made a year after, and Earth Alliance was able to train tens of thousands of elites in a small amount of time.

Cale thought about the virtual world and sighed heavily.

"Ring! Ring! Ring!"

Cale heard his phone's ring tone and saw that it was Trevor who made the call.

"Hello brother, did you miss me?" Cale joked as he laughed lightly.

"Cale, Trevor is in the hospital right now. I'm only using his phone to call you. His injuries are quite severe, but he is fine now." A worried voice of a woman sounded over the phone.

Cale's smile was gone and was replaced by a calm look, but this sort of calmness had an eerie air about it. Invisible waves of frightening aura was circling around Cale as he listened. "Which hospital is that?"

"We are at Perpetual Succour Hospital, third floor, room 279." the woman answered with a shaking voice.

"Wait for me, I will be there shortly." Cale said worriedly.

He then remembered what had happened during his past life. When they went out for a drink after school, they saw Trevor's girlfriend flirting with someone. Trevor who saw the scene felt humiliated and they hastily beat up the guy who was together with his girlfriend.

After an hour, a van stopped in front of them and they saw a dozen men holding wooden bats went out of the van. They fought the group ferociously, but with the difference in number and the fact that their enemies were armed, both Cale and Trevor succ.u.mbed to a cruel beating and was left with several broken bones.

The guy that they beat up was actually the son of an underworld king who was working under Delfino. The fact that they were not killed was already merciful for such a terrifying group.

"Shit! I actually forgot about this event." Cale cursed under his breath.

He hastily went out of the room and spotted Brogen standing outside the room stoically.

"Brogen, call five men to go with us and tell Santharus to guard the mansion during our absence. And tell him to not let anyone else go inside."

Brogen bowed his head slight and answered in a deep voice "As you say my lord!"

"I hope nothing major changed. F.u.c.k! I inadvertently changed the future. If something bad happens to Trevor, I will destroy that little underworld king!" Flames of hatred burned in Cale's eyes.

They rode on one hummer and arrived at the hospital after thirty minutes.

The nurses and the people inside the hospital looked at Cale's group fearfully. The massive Brogen made their legs shake in terror and the cold atmosphere around the group made them very unapproachable. No one dared to make trouble with them and they just let Cale's group inside.

"Which way is room 279?" Cale asked the nurse at the front desk solemnly.

"Go.... Go... Go straight right and there is an elevator at the end of the hallway. That will be on the third floor, and.... and you can just ask the nurses there on which way is room 279." Answered the nurse stutteringly while glancing at the group timidly.

"Thanks." Cale left immediately.
