Chapter 55 Dark Experiments "Good luck at training! I'll meet you tomorrow!" Zera said excitedly as she escorted Adam out of the car. "Oh, right! I almost forgot. Take this." Zera leaned over, extending her hand forward, holding a simple-looking flash drive. Adam raised an eyebrow in confusion. "What's this?" Zera smirked. "A gift, from me and our mutual friends by now. Open the file with my name first if you don't want to spoil your appetite." Adam frowned slightly but didn't refuse. Something told him it might be something interesting because Zera was an unusual person. Then, Adam contacted Silvana and cast her a hard, annoyed look after the training in the virtual zone. "Khm. I apologize, I should have warned you beforehand. It's just... things happened so fast, and I couldn't say no to them. I had to act on the situation." Silvana said guiltily, lowering her head. Adam sighed. "I see... First Ring is the center of the Citadel not only for its wealth and entertainment, it's the center of organizations and people with their goals." Adam touched his forehead with his fingertips, "Damn, we saw each other for the first time, and ten minutes later she offered to get her pregnant. That's definitely not normal." Silvana coughed. "It's not exactly like that." "Hmm?" "In fact, you would have gotten such an offer from many hardcore followers of the Crimson Path, because they consider polygamy to be the standard, as it helps spread strong genes faster. However... it has a dark side besides the lust and pleasure that may have entered your mind." Silvana's face grew paler. Adam listened silently. He wasn't a hypocrite, and he didn't hide the fact that he had such thoughts, for he was a young man, and Zera was pushy and sexy. But, Silvana's face showed that there was something cruel behind it. "The women of Crimson Path have no appreciation for children who couldn't become Phantoms. When it turns out that a child doesn't have Spark despite having two Phantom parents, the best thing that can happen is exile from the family. The women of Crimson Path don't feel bad about it, because to them it's just a misfortune on the road to success - the birth of a new Phantom." "Furthermore... It's Black Swan, right? So they're connected to either Crimson Path or Zera... and they're actually plotting something against Aiden Henk." Adam said with a dazed expression. He hadn't expected things to escalate to this, and he didn't know what to do now. Silvana took some time to calm down. "I would suggest telling the military or the research department, but... we both know that someone is protecting Aiden Henk if he can afford to do experiments like this." Adam nodded. He knew that because even Douglas was powerless. However, if Aiden was untouchable in the Upper Ring, that didn't mean no one from the Lower Ring could get to him. "In any case, it's too early for me to try anything. I'm sure the mad scientist has his followers. Perhaps Zera can tell me a little more about it." Adam pondered, rubbing his chin. Silvana nodded. They didn't speak again, and Adam returned home. They had fought against monsters, but that didn't mean there weren't monsters among humans, inside their souls. ... The next day as agreed, Adam headed to the platform to leave for the missions. Zera and the other members of the Scarlet River Squad were already there. Unlike all his previous missions, this time there were many more people. About ten Phantoms and thirty Harvesters, as well as several trucks. Everyone was fully equipped, for they were going on a Cluster Mission. Cluster Missions were formed around clusters of anomalies, a rare but extremely dangerous phenomenon. Not all anomalies quickly appeared and disappeared in random places, some grew and were not going to stop spreading across more and more territory. The process was slow, but it had to be stopped, otherwise, there could be too many anomalous monsters that would lead to unnecessary casualties among Harvesters and Phantoms. Also, in some ways, Cluster Missions were similar to Golden Missions, but for the reward of monster genes and artifacts, titanic efforts had to be applied. The anomalies themselves were dangerous, not to mention the monsters that appeared with them and were enhanced versions of their fellows due to the anomaly energy. "Hey! I've been waiting for you!" Zera vigorously said with a wave of her hand. Beside her stood two more Phantoms that were obviously in charge of this squad after her. 'Well, it's time to get into what's already become my favorite thing to do, isn't it?' Adam smirked, then glanced at his gloves, 'Hopefully, we'll get someone strong, and I can improve on you.'
