Imposing Heavenly Lord - Chapter 26 Modern Closet 2,365 words

After exiting the Eldritch Portal from the middle of South Atlantic Ocean, I created fake paper and cyber trails of Alex Dunphy’s transportation from Antarctica to LAX, California which wasn’t that hard as it was what I was already specialized in.

Gathering, and manipulating information for the Hand. After the young master took over it, all of us had been enlightened and had a much more conviction on doing what we were trained to do.

Especially now that I finally have the time to write and publish my erotic novels. (BLUSH)

Though I understand the meaning for the first two missions I have received, I’m still confused as to the importance of the other two.

Which I’m grateful for as I get to do my stuff while doing surveillance after taking over an NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) and hunting those human resources required for our expansion.

*DING!* |LA, CALIFORNIA QUEST COMPLETE!|

-Secure PROJECT: CALISTO prototypes (Complete)

-Rehire Brok Corporate Staff, and John Bosley’s agents (Complete)

-Take-over of Townsend Agency (Complete)

-SUB: Verification of Lucifer (Doesn’t Exist)

-SUB: Monitoring of 3 Modern Family (Undergoing)

What caught my attention during the hunt was the main objective PROJECT: CALISTO of Brok Corporate and scientists who worked on it though one was a vegetable I didn’t expect the other one to be a rookie spy. (A/N: Charlie’s Angels 2019)

This one item will put all assassin out of a job if weaponized and mass-produced, an EMP device like a remote switch to shutdown the human body completely.

If someone was willing to bide their time and only use it once it had become ubiquitous, it could become a weapon capable of taking out nearly anyone on the planet at any given time. It’s a frighteningly casual and easy way to kill someone, even just as a portable seizure bomb. (A/N: Source CBR .com)

『Jiraiya』(Ooh, target locked! Boss said it’s fine as long she’s not related to the three target families, maybe I’ll get a bonus as she’s a rival of one of the matriarchs. Hehehe…) thoughts broken as he spots Dr. Donna Duncan come in the cafe he is at.

— John’s POV —

Ding! [Iron Man Origin Story Beginning]

Ding! [LA Main Quests Cleared!]

『John』”Is it that time already?” clearly surprised by notifications from the system.

『Augur』”Yes, sir. Mr. Stark just left for Afghanistan just now and Jiraiya has also finished cleaning up the Townsend Agency quest.” clarified the details.

I got so caught up on this Calisto project of Brok Corporate I forgot about the time again. Now that I managed to fix it’s flaws and compressed it further at the size of iPod nano (3.57 inX1.52 in wideX0.24 in thick).

Not only that, but I also made the EMP function of the device to be an anti-magnetic field for any devices equipped with it that shields it from Magnetto’s control and boosting the protection from any type of scanning attempts to reverse engineer my techs.

This is not even counting the development of Dr. Otto and Rosalie Octavius whose primary research is regarding solar energy concept where they plan on harnessing the energy of a man-made star which I know ends badly as stated by the Marvel-verse.

Like how the accident of Peter and Baxter Foundation is meant to be. But now that there is no ROB present, maybe, just maybe, I can interfere with their fates as I did with Uncle Ben’s.

Whom he also took in after OSCORP’s demise. It’s one of his company’s services to hire not just scientists but all workers of any rival corporate that goes out of business to avoid the possibility of them working for the other side in the future.

Well, since it will take three months before Tony escapes his hellhole it would be about the same time that island will be up and running and the time I finish establishing XIPHOS foundation through the Townsend Agency as the base.

FYI, don’t think that this agency is an all-girls spy NGO just because the movie industry focused on them. They gave information that they also train guys from Bosley’s birthday scene and the agents Bosley 001 poached.

Still can’t believe that the “Sal” of Modern Family would actually be a ‘Bosley’ of the Townsend Agency. Thinking about it and connecting the dots, everything finally makes sense where her kid looks a lot like ‘Saint’ the guy who assisted the new Angels on the Calisto mission.

Rebecca Salazar is known as Bosley 342 (Charlie’s Angels 2019) a high ranking agent of Townsend Agency, and Sal (Modern Family) when off-duty and parties with her good friends the Tucker-Pritchett pair. (A/N: Made up name combining two separate films)

Both live in LA, California, and are only known for partying with the Tucker-Pritchett pair from Modern Family. I’m guessing she is also eyeing Alex Dunphy and recently Lily Tucker-Pritchett to be an Angel agent candidate, but can’t seem to find the time.

Now they will all work for me! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

『John』”BTW, what is the status on Jiraiya’s surveillance regarding the Families?” asked Augur after having his fill of villain laugh.

『Augur』”Based on the current events, it is on Season 11 Episode 4 Pool Party according to your TV show standards. Upon which the Smart Closet Fiasco begins.”

『John』”NICE, just gives me more good points to be in Claire’s good grace. Start the production line for ETHER” orders Augur before going to the bathroom to clean up for his meeting with the Dunphy’s.

I named it as such from the ‘Ether Reactor’ that powers a Silhouette Knight from the novel/manga/anime ‘Knights and Magic’ wherein it harnesses the energy in the surroundings and powers the Gundam version in a Magic World.

— EZRAVISION – LA, California —

『Claire』”We are not gonna let one little misstep make us forget this one company has given us. I loved being a stay-at-home mom. I did”

“But working here has given me a whole new sense of self… And come on. One mistake does not make us evil. We will come clean.”

“We’ll recall the product. We’ll do whatever we have to do. Because under this tech B.S., there is a company we love.”

“Look we may no longer make smart closets, be we sure as hell are gonna make smart closets!”

(Jingling sound of the smart closet starting)

『Closet-Claire』”Looking for a smart outfit? Maintain eye contact with the mirror and begin stripping down.”

『Claire』”I deeply regret that.” just as she was about to walk away she bumped into something or someone huge. “Oomph, I’m sorry-…” dazed at the uninvited guest.

『John』”Wow that was one heck of a nice speech there Mrs. Dunphy. Sorry for listening and barging in here without an appointment as I deem it of great importance.” grabbing her shoulder and putting some distance after she bumped into him.

『Claire』”Wha-… Who-…” still shocked.

『Alex』”John? Is that really you?” standing up reaching her mother’s side quickly to take a look at the person with a familiar voice that she could hardly forget even when she is actively trying too.

『Hayley』”John who?” trying to get in on what is happening.

『All』(GASPS) now that all eyes are on him and them recognizing who he is.

『Hayley』”JOHN WAYNE of Wayne Ent.! WAIT, How do you know him Alex?!” she screeched upon meeting one of the top hot young genius billionaire then glaring at her sister.

『Alex』”Well, it’s the job of his evil corporate that I was trying to turn down earlier…”

『Hayley』”You are turning down a job to work on Wayne Enterprise?!” shocked at what her sister was trying to pass on.

『John』”Hi nice to meet you all! We’ve actually met awhile back when she was returning from Antarctica.” (Wink wink) sending to winks at Alex’s direction making her recall in what she buried as her imaginations due to stress from working there.

『Alex』”Whaa-… So that means… Ughhh…” unable to finish her sentence as her brain still busy trying to process the events of that day.

『John』”Now that introductions are out of the way, I was actually here to help you with your issues Mrs. Dunphy. Care to bring this discussion somewhere more private perhaps?” looking at the now awakened Claire.

『Claire』”Umm… Sure this way please.” leading the entourage to the conference room nearby consisting of her daughters, lawyer, and techguy.

“So why are you here again? And how can you exactly help us?” she asked.

『John』”First of all, let me fix that hacking issue your facing for free. Augur remove all traces of any recordings that came from the smart closets produced by their company then track and alarm the authorities of those responsible for this fiasco and make it clear none of it is the company’s fault.” stated in the open air confusing everyone in the room.

『Claire』”Are you alright? Who are you talking to? There is no one in here named Ogre?” confused at the giant teenager in front of her talking to the air.

『Augur』(DING!) “Task Completed!” responded through the room’s speakers and showing holographic images through the smart-bracer against the conference room transparent glass.

『Alex』”WTF?! You manage to complete a fully functioning A.I. and Holographic technology?” shaken out of her stupor from the display on the glass regarding reports of the hackers being arrested and those who responsible for perving through the smart closets.

『Lawyer』”It’s true everything in the Russian porn site that was closet related is now completely gone. There is even live news on SWAT raids of those hackers online. UNBELIEVABLE!” crying to tears that she won’t lose her job and have to go to prison.

『Claire』”THANK YOU VERY MUCH!” clasping John’s hand expressing her gratitude with a few teardrops. “Still why would you do that for a nobody like us?”

『John』”It’s no sweat anyways, and if I don’t do that you might think I was the one behind that deal. Because I was planning to buy out your company and along with its staff…” while showing the gentlest smile he can that almost blinded Hayley to his brilliance.

『Claire』”You WHAT?!” exclaimed as she thinks what exactly John said, that she will think he was playing her.

『John』”Now before you think of anything else, let me explain clearly why I’m trying to buy you out after fixing your problems. See, like what Nick did when he offered the same thing to you and your father, it’s all about keeping up with times.” going to the projection board of the room.

“From the classic mechanical closet, you went to automated with EZRAVISION company correct? Now with the new tech my company developed, I’m afraid you all might lose your jobs once it is released that is why before we release the product we plan on buying out all closet companies.”

“And unlike the previous company where you still had the option to merge, we don’t have any manufacturing issues or the like.” pausing his speech letting Claire raise a question.

『Claire』”I guess with that high tech thing in your wrist that looks like a watch, and gives out projection I can only imagine how advance your closet can be.” pondering over the possibilities she can take advantage of.

『John』”Ahh, you misunderstood…”

“Our new product actually removes any demand for a closet to be installed in buildings, making it possible to be carried on hand.” taking something from the inner pocket of his tux that looks like a medicine box.

Opening it shows a variety of capsule-shaped items that has a button on one side of it taking the one colored in blue with a label 6 on it. Pressing the button and throwing it on the open space to his right.

(POP! WHOOSH!)

What popped out after the smoke cleared a typical reach-in closet is an approximately 6-feet long, 8-feet high, 24-inches deep with an 80-inch high door opening. Reach-in closets are very practical for a single occupant. They allow for easy viewing and access to all contents. Accessories and baskets work well in them.

『ALL』”WOAH!” as they crowded the furniture that appeared out of nowhere like magic inspecting it for any foul play.

Before John comes near it after they scanned it for a few minutes and pressing a button at the top right of the closet that produced another cloud of smoke leaving the same capsule he threw earlier in its place.

『John』”That’s just the most basic tech we have. Don’t worry though, you’ll still be in charge of everything here just that you’ll be working for us and someone will intervene from time to time just in case the same problem happens.”

(Oh, they might even get a heart attack if I show them the expansion magic and the UMF tech. I think the Brief Particle tech should be enough.)

『Claire』”Well if I’m still the one managing things here then we don’t have a problem! Should I be calling you ‘Boss’ now?” shaking my hand vigorously sealing the deal as soon as she heard she still managing things only with proper supervision.

『John』”Nah, it will just put a strain on all those I work with. Just call me John as I still respect those older than me and I know my place is behind the curtain feel better.”

“Since our business here is already concluded I should get going soon, someone will come later afternoon to fix the necessary paperwork. See ya! Oh, and Alex!” walking by the conference room door only to stop last second facing Alex.

“Hope to hear an answer from you soon! Here’s my number, talk soon!” giving a business card colored in black with the letters and logo in silver. Before finally walking out of the stunned people who clamored once he was out of sight.
