Chapter 251: "I Dare You To Take One More Step"
Immediately after Luna received Alex from Silas, and started flying to the hospital, she also starred scouring the internet's for the owner of the hospital.
The reason for this was because she knew that if she doesn't make smeom sort of preparations, she was going to experience some delays when she get there. And with how severe the situation is, any form of delay is a tantamount to death.
It took her a second and she was finally able to get what she was looking for. She immediately hacked into every single devices of his and took some preventive measures before she proceeded with what she plans to do next.
After she was done, she sent an email with an offer to buy the hospital at a jaw- dropping price of $100 billion.
The price was jaw-dropping because the hospital isn't even worth a quarter of what she was offering and also, the profit they have made so far is way less than it.
Of course, the only reason why Luna made such an offer is because she was being kind and she wanted to attract the attention of the hospital's owner.
Also, even as an AI, she knew just how more important a human life is compared to money, and this was even more so since the human life is Silas' brother. She knew just how he would react if something is to happen to him.
Just as she thought and had already predicted, she immediately got a response to her offer but it wasn't what she wanted. Still, it was what she predicted to happen.
The hospital's owner sent a reply saying that the price of $100 billion was too small for the hospital and Luna wants to prove her sincerity, she has to up the price.
Luna didn't bother to bargain with him as she sent a file containing all the dirts she has on him made another offer, this time the offer was extremely lower than the initial.
She sent the file with an offer to that the hospital for $10 billion. She would had actually offered $1 billion and she knew very well that the man would take it. But she didn't do that.
True to her predictions, the man accepted the offer and passed down the message of the hospital's management changing hands. The news was shocking due to how sudden it was but all that was unrelated to Luna.
Immediately after she got to the hospital, she flew to the theater room and began the operation. While she was doing that, she was also monitoring Silas situation and Daniel's.
Under normal circumstances, Luna would had been stopped immediately after she flew into the hospital. But due to the speed at which she flew into it, and the shocking fact that there's someone that can fly, was what put the security on pause.
To them, it was like something just streaked past them with such extreme speed that left unable to react.
The surgery was successful as Luna was able to remove the almost finger sized bomb after she made a small cut on the left side of Alex's belly.
The surgery wasn't difficult but it wasn't exactly a walk in the park for her. It was something that would had been extremely difficult for a human surgeon, as the process was extremely delicate and complicated.
The reason for this is because while taking out the bomb, one has to careful so that they don't trigger it and make it explode. They also have to be careful so it doesn't start dissolve and spread very toxic chemical through the body.
The time restraint factor shouldn't also be ignored as it's actually the first thing that would make the surgery extremely difficult for them.
The bomb was something that new to even Luna herself and this was the reason why she had to use the stimulated research world to understand it.
Just as Daniel claimed it to be, it was really an alien tech. She knew that there was currently no level of technological progression that would give humanity the know-how on how to creates something like it.
The only way they can get their hands on it is if they acquire it directly from the source.
If that's so, then it mean that this something extremely important and she would have to look into it as soon as possible.
"It seems like there's more to the upcoming war."
After she was done with the surgery on Alex, Luna called for the doctors and nurse to come watch over him, and security of the hospital to watch the room and not let anyone get in.
Few minutes later, after everyone has gathered and had already been given on what to do, Luna flew out of the hospital and made her way to Silas' location.
It took her a couple of minute before she saw a plume of smoke rising up from the ground and into the sky. She immediately increased her speed when she saw this.
As she got closer, she saw a fire truck and some firefighters trying to put out the flames from the explosion.
Some ambulances could also been seen on scene, with medical personnels attending to everyone who looks to be injured or distressed.
It seems like Luna arrived on time as she saw one of the medical personnels who looks extremely suspiciou, push an unconscious Silas who was lying on a stretcher into an ambulance.
And another medical personnel gently doing his best to stop Kim from getting into the ambulance with them.
"Ma'am, please, you have to understand that we can't allow you to come with us. You can get into another ambulance and follow behind. I'm sorry." The medical personnel said, doing his best to stop Kim from getting in but she wasn't having.
"What do you mean by you can't allow me to get in? My son is in the ambulance and you're telling me that I can't go with you? Are you joking?
Don't tell me that there's not enough space as I can clearly see enough that would take in two people comfortably. Is this a new policy or it's just you guys?
Whatever reason your want to give for this, I've changed my mind. You're not taking him anywhere, anymore. Bring him down from the ambulance now right this instant!" Kim was angry and she was showing it.
She can't believe that they are telling her not to come with them when she could see just how much pain Silas is in right now. How can she as lady and a mother leave him behind?
Also, she started to notice that the group in front of her were starting to look very suspicious. She noticed that when they arrived, they immediately went towards Silas without paying attention to anyone else.
"Ok, I want you guys to provide an identity card that proves where you work," She said as she gave the man in front of her, a piercing glare.
The man saw that things were starting to go south and was already thinking of attacking Kim. His team's mission here was simple; retrieve Silas and return as soon as possible.
Just when he was about to shove Kim away and get into the ambulance, he heard a voice above him. He looked up to see a very familiar lady, in the sky and pointing what looks to be a blaster at him.
"I dare you to take one more step."
