Tower Ascension - Chapter 58

“Come on! It’s not my fault that my ability needs me to constantly eat food. Or, why do you think I got so fat?” The fat man looked at the other and snorted while biting another piece from the wings.

Other men looked at him and sighed.

“Even so, that formula should be in the hands of the council. Only then it can truly benefit humanity. After all, the council is the foundation for humanity.” Another person with a tanned tone and bulky body spoke. He was another Half-Supreme.

“They won’t give us on such reasons. Either we must use force or we must use some tactics. But for now, let’s just observe. After all, it might simply fail or have horrible side effects.” The man with the sword made a serious expression and spoke.

Hearing his words, everyone nodded in agreement.

At the same time,

Anne was on her way home in the car. Inside the car, there was another woman. She was none other than Camellia. At this moment, she was wearing a black tight dress while Anne was wearing a gorgeous red dress that spread from her neck to the leg.

It was her first time wearing such a dress but that dress totally shows her maturity. If Peter was here, his mind would’ve blown away. But, at this moment, there was nervousness and fear hidden in her eyes.

“Are you worried?” Camellia asked as she moved closer to Anne.

Anne nodded her head. She closed her eyes and sighed “I don’t know what I am doing here. If I messed up, it would be a huge problem for my brother. But, this only makes me feel more burdened.”

“Then, don’t think that way. Just think if you can complete this, then you can become a CEO at the age of sixteen. And, it won’t be a simple company. Just look at these stats!” As she said, she took out a tablet and showed a graph.

There was a circle with one-tenth of the circle being red and the other part being orange. Then, she slides the screen, and a new circle with one-fifth of the circle being appeared.

“This shows us the number of people that we expect to buy the potion. Originally, only a few had pre-ordered the potion but now the number has increased by five times. You nailed the interview. So, don’t worry about anything and just think about the success.”

Hearing her words, Anne bites her lips and smiles while nodding her head. At this moment, she felt a little bit more comfortable.

“So, where are we going now?” Anne asked.

“We need to go back to the company. Few large-scale companies, organizations, and even governments are buying the potions in bulk. We need to spend more resources and we need your sign for it. By the way, next time tell Peter to leave more of those crystals.” Camellia spoke but there was hidden envy in her tone.

She wished Peter would love her as much as she loves his family. But, she also knew it would take some time.

“Alright! By the way, do you think we should sell some of our shares to get some high-level families in this vortex?” Anne’s words suddenly made Camellia confused. Of course, she wasn’t confused because she didn’t understand it rather she was confused about her thinking.

But, suddenly a picture came to her mind which made her chuckle.

“You are just like him.” Camellia smiled and couldn’t help but pat Anne’s head. Normally, it feels like both of them don’t have cunning minds but once required, their mind instantly becomes cunning. It’s like the inherited genes.

But, she can understand it. After all, Peter’s father was some who once lived his life in poverty at a small age. And, now if it wasn’t for that war that made him lose hundreds of millions of dollars, he would’ve been a billionaire.

Because not only did they lose but also fell into debt. So, his father had to work from scratch once again. But, he still makes millions of dollars. After all, if it wasn’t for those bucks, Peter and they wouldn’t get a chance to get treatment with those pieces of equipment.

Both Peter and Anne inherit those genes. It’s just that they haven’t truly got a chance to show those genes. And now, they are getting it.

Camellia praised her but soon her face became serious.

“We can’t do that now. After all, we don’t have much to give.”

Hearing her words, Anne shook her head and said “You are wrong. We do have something. Don’t forget, we haven’t used the hundred percent concentrated version. If we put it on the terms, we could force them to buy the shares of the company.”

“And, once they buy the share, we can pull them to the vortex. That means they must join us or face the loss. Do you think this is feasible?”

Camellia thought for a while and shook her head “I don’t think they will try actively fight the Vampires. There are many chances for them to betray us as well.”

Anne stayed silent and frustration appeared on her face. At this moment, Camellia patted her cheeks and said “Just relax! You and your brother always work in hurry at the last minute. You can take things like that. We need to calm down and try to increase the sales of those potions.”

“After all, this potion is our background. Of course, if we make more potions then it would be even better. But for now, let’s not keep our hopes up.”

Hearing her words, Anne nodded her head but suddenly Camellia shouted “Stop the car!”

Her voice started Anne and the driver but the driver did stop the car. It was in the middle of the road but there weren’t many people around. Camellia instantly moved out. Suddenly, she released the invisible barrier around the car and floated in the air.

Her psychic talent allows her to do anything she wants. She suddenly clenched her fist and the ground beneath her exploded into pieces. Those crumbled pieces rose to the sky and suddenly gathered around her fist.

“Come out!” She slammed her fist in the air and all the crumbled pieces formed a giant fist, moving towards the pole.

Bang!

The fist collides against the pole and the shadow suddenly appeared above it. As the pole began to fall, the man in a dark robe floated on air and suddenly disappeared. When Camellia tried to chase him, she discovered that man was already thousands of meters away.

She glanced back at the car and returned. Her priority was keeping Anne safe but suddenly her eyes shrunk. She took out her phone and called a new number that was saved.

“Check aunt and uncle’s body right now!” As soon as the phone was picked up, she shouted.

“Woah! Woah! Woah, Miss Camellia. You don’t need to be so violent. I am watching them. So, what happened?” The voice belonged to none other than James.

“Those leeches are targeting us. Be careful about uncle and aunt!” Camellia replied and instantly cut the call.

On another side, James was in the same room as Peter’s parents. He was carefully watching over them. Of course, it was only because Anne was gone for the interview. Normally, Anne and Camellia watch over them.

And, since now they were announcing such potion to the world, James knew they must be extra careful. That’s why he was taking care of everything related to Peter.

“Young master, the master is calling you!” Aron walked in while holding the tablet. After he gave it to James, he finally picked up the call.

On another side of the video call, it was a middle-aged man wearing a brown coat. He was sitting behind the desk. His father’s name was Clint Osborne.

“James, is that true?” Clint spoke with a bit of unhappiness in his tone.

“Yes, father! I have decided to support the Johnson family for this new project.” James nodded his head and respectfully answered.

“Do you know how much trouble our family might face?” Clint’s eyes turned serious as he spoke. He was putting his fists near his mouth.

“Since when did our Osborne family start fearing some little troubles?” James proudly spoke. When Clint heard his son, his mouth twitched.

He suddenly regretted teaching his son about this. But, James wasn’t wrong either. Osborne family could rank in the top ten most powerful families around the world for some reason.

Soon, Clint sighed and asked, “Are you sure it will work?”

“Father, do you think you would buy it for the family?” James smirked and asked.

Clint nodded his head and said “Alright, I won’t care about this. But, be careful about the council. Don’t forget that we don’t have the power to fight council.”

“Don’t worry, dad! We aren’t going to fight the council. We have another enemy.” James’ eyes turned red as he clenched his hand. Seeing his face, Clint’s eyes shrunk as he asked “What happened?”

“Father, do you believe me?” James didn’t reply instead asked.

“If I can’t believe you then who would I believe?” Clint smiled and spoke.

“I want to five Platinum Rank Guards.”
