Part 2: The Path to Sainthood Chapter 24: Adam
As Fernand's words came out, Daniel's face changed drastically, and he quickly pulled the gun from his waist.
He even had a pistol on his side.
But as soon as the gun was drawn, Renault beckoned, and the gun flew over.
The gun spun beautifully in his hand, and when it stopped, it was aimed at Daniel.
"You are not as honest as you appear, Mr. Reynolds," said Reynolds. I think I know now why I always felt something was wrong...... That kid doesn't look like you at all, and he doesn't kiss you, and he dresses too ordinarily, and he behaves too calmly, and he doesn't look like a young master no matter how he looks. ”
Daniel said with a pale face: "Mr. Renault, if you are a smart person, you should know that you would rather offend the government than the Santiago family, Adam is the property of the Santiago family!" ”
Renault immediately said, "The property that has been traded, if I heard it correctly, has been exchanged for goods to this chief, and you have already got what you want." ”
"How can we exchange a piece of invalid relics for Adam, what we really want is ......," Daniel exclaimed, and then shut up, but his body was already trembling uncontrollably.
Renault's eyes narrowed: "That means that just a discarded holy relic can't be exchanged for this boy?" Our esteemed Mr. Fernand doesn't look like a child prostitute, and the average boy shouldn't be worth that much. ”
He turned his gun to Fernand and smiled, "I think you know what question I'm going to ask you." ”
Fernand shuddered and said, "That boy ......"
"Don't tell him!" Daniel shouted as he rushed over.
Renault turned his hand, and the muzzle of the gun flashed, and it was already shot in Daniel's leg.
Daniel screamed and fell to the ground clutching his legs, blood pouring out.
He groaned in pain: "Renault, offending the Santiago family is not good for you!" ”
"You're more backbone than I thought." Renault said coldly, and he looked at Fernand again.
Fernand replied with a shudder: "He is the son of Carmen Loch." ”
"Carmen Loshi?" Renault felt the name familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
On the other side, the virus heard the name and shouted: "Carmen Loch? Isn't that former member of the Supreme Council? ”
"Is that her?" Renault thought about it.
About sixty years ago, a major event occurred in the new federal government, when Carmen Loch, a member of the Supreme Council, was declared treason and sentenced to exile. During the exile, the starship Crimson Moon disappeared inexplicably, and Councilor Loshi was never found.
The matter of treason by the parliamentarians was once highly controversial, and many people believed that in this era when humans ruled most of the star fields, there was no reason for Lohi, a member of the Supreme Council, to commit treason. To be honest, if she wants to rebel, where can she be sentenced? Pirate? Alien? The Gods? Or just go to the Ark Zerg and live with a bunch of bugs?
Either one is ridiculous.
So people think it's the result of high-level politics/struggles, and to be honest, it's better to fight corruption than in the name of treason, and maybe the latter will offend more people, and not everyone will be able to play it.
Loshi hasn't been seen since she disappeared, but now a little boy has appeared as her son?
"You found Loshi?" He asked.
Fernand shook his head: "We only know that she is still alive and is now the leader of an organization, but we don't know where they are except for her and her people. ”
Renault's gaze stayed on Adam: "Then how did you get this child?" And how do you know he's Loshi's son? Why him? And, if I'm not mistaken, Lorch was already a 130-year-old woman sixty years ago, right? She should be close to two hundred years old by now. ”
Fernand hurriedly said: "You misunderstood, this child was not born by Loshi. ”
"Didn't Roshi give birth to it?" Renault froze: "You mean ......"
"He was an IVF, artificially bred from eggs stored in Loshi's early years."
Renault was puzzled: "Why are you doing this?" ”
Fernand shook his head: "It wasn't us who did it, it was Loshi!" It was her people who brought her eggs on Roshi's orders, infiltrated Albert's Laboratory, and stole the equipment there to create Adam, but we found out, and that's when we learned that Loshi was still alive. Not only is she alive, but she is the leader of a secret organization. It's a pity that that's all we know, and the man died, but the baby was preserved. Since Albert's laboratory was the San Diego family's laboratory, the child became the property of the San Diego family. ”
"Making IVF is not a high-end technology, so why go to Albert's laboratory to do it?" Renault asked.
"We don't know." Fernand replied, "But in the creation of this baby, the dead researcher used a radiometer owned exclusively by Albert Labs, which is the most advanced equipment available and can perform operations at the atomic level at the genetic level." ”
"You mean genetic modification?"
"The most cutting-edge and top-notch genetic modification, but unfortunately we don't know what the change is, and that dead man destroyed all the data. The San Diego family had been studying the child's problems for twelve years, but had not found much of an anomaly. Fernand said excitedly: "Except for one thing. ”
"What?"
Fernand said to the boy, "Show him." ”
The boy didn't move.
Fernand was anxious: "Hurry up! ”
The boy looked at Daniel.
Daniel was still lying on the ground and humming.
"Daniel, let him show if you don't want to die." Fernand exclaimed, "You've lost him, you'd better understand that!" ”
Daniel sighed, "Show him, Adam." ”
The boy raised his hand.
Then Renault saw that the cage with the mice was floating up.
"Telekinesis!" Renault exclaimed.
This boy even has telekinesis!
"Born." Fernand said.
Adam put his hand down a little frustrated, and the cage fell to the ground.
Fernand pointed to the boy and said, "As you can see, it is very weak, far from being comparable to you, but this power is not obtained by inheriting holy relics, but from genes, from birth!" He opened a door to us, and that's what the new federal government could only dream of! ”
"I see." Renault muttered to himself.
If that's the case, it's understandable why Adam was worth a lot of money.
As Fernand said, this represents a new dawn of human science and technology, and a new development of human research on superpowers!
It's a pity that this development was not achieved in their hands, but in the hands of the man named Loch.
No one knows what she's in her hands or how she's done it.
To the Institute, the boy was indeed a more valuable commodity than a holy relic, even if his abilities were so weak.
"The San Diego family studied for twelve years and never came to any conclusions," Fernand said. Eventually, they discovered that without information about the mother's parent, it might be difficult for the little boy to get what they wanted. It just so happened that an important person in their family was dying, so they decided to exchange the boy for some favor. ”
"That includes a complete artifact, right? You dare to sell this? ”
"This is a legal sale, approved by the Supreme Council, and the institute needs a breakthrough." Fernand replied: "I may be a corrupt guy, but that doesn't mean that everything I do is unseemly. ”
"I see." That's when Renault understood.
At this moment, the virus suddenly said, "Boss, maybe you should take a look at this, this is just from the information you sent." ”
A footage was sent from the terminal.
There are three things on the information displayed on the terminal.
The two crystal-like energy bodies, one of which was the holy relic that Renault had put away, and the other was obviously larger, but dim, it should be the target zero brought back by the Abrodie.
In addition to these two holy relics, there is also a black metal block, the metal block has some strange patterns on it, I can't tell what it is, but it can be put together with the holy object, it is definitely not an ordinary thing.
The problem was that in this room, Renault didn't see the metal block.
