Chapitre 66: Fine! I will do it myself.
Now, David and his friends were unsure about what to do. They stayed rigid in their stances as they tried to decide what step to take next, still fearful that those soldiers were nearby.
"Greenwolf.. Greenwolf.. Come in... Greenwolf.."
The walkie-talkie on the waist of David relayed a voice. David took the walkie-talkie near his mouth and said
"This is Greenwolf... We have a situation." David said.
"What is the status?"
"Uh... I don't know how to explain but there are bodies littered around this place. Shot at the head. Each and every one of them."
"How many bodies."
"17 sir."
"Any movements nearby? To which direction did the other party run off to?"
"To the East sir. Should we go after them?"
"No.. You better burn the bodies."
"Okay sir. Silk will return to El Dorado for the flammables."
"Affirmative.. Zeus out."
This was the topic of conversation between David and the team captain who was in charge of the Academi exploration team. His call sign was Zeus, and the camp was called El Dorado after the golden city because the archeological crew was so enthusiastic to discover an ancient civilisation that might help to solve many long-standing questions.
"Boss, why didn't you tell them of the bone chilling situation we faced?" Silk, the call sign of one of his companions asked.
"Tell them what? That we faced an invisible team and our life was on the line? Or the fact that we encountered an alien? God dammit... I thought this was all a dream but the bodies here are so clean and real meant that what we faced wasn't some mirage and hallucinations. They did come and almost killed us."
Everyone fell silent as they considered what David had just said. Actually, there was no explanation for what had transpired. Since humans lacked the capability to create suits that can turn someone invisible or into Iron Man, the only thing that could remotely explain the scenario was that they came into contact with aliens.
They have been in Academi for the past few years and previously in marine where the US government spent billions of dollars for technological advancement of weapons and stuffs. They have been deployed under CIA so they had seen some shit in their lifetime but this was different.
This was entirely new ground!
David ceased to consider and began dragging the victims into a mound after taking a few steps around. Silk and others began assisting David as well. The dead shouldn't be abandoned in the open desert to fester. They were miles from society, but their camp was close by, and they didn't want to catch anything.
In order to start a fire in the dead bodies, Silk went back to his camp with a jug of gasoline.

While the Ghost squad had headed back to Vertigo, Robin had returned to the TARDIS, which was perched high in the air. The team had been carried by Vertigo, and now the same group would be dispersed throughout Libya in order to learn more about the country's intricate political system.
It was done to build a foothold and a covert base in this nation. In the Middle East and Africa, Robin wished to establish stability and peace. Numerous nations in this region, including Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, and other similar nations, have been struggling for decades.
Their primary objective was Libya. They would then disperse and invade one nation after another from there. Of course there would be issues, not from the natives but from other nations who have been taking advantage of them.
However, Robin had plans for them, so it was time to move up the schedule a little bit.
"Why all the theatrics?" Sigret asked as he returned to TARDIS.
"I always wanted to act cool. This was my chance." Despite feeling ashamed, Robin revealed the truth. He was delighted to have these ex-marines witness his "cool" side because he had watched enough movies and anime to know when a cool protagonist simply walks away in style.
Despite being somewhat amused by the Robin's foolish antics, Sigret and Myrene didn't complain to it. Sigret inquired since she had another subject to cover.
"99 percent of the Biosphere trials were successful, according to the results. The berries are ideal and can be converted into medications by using meat sparingly. The medications may cure any wounds, whether they be internal or exterior, and can cure a person of any toxin. With the medication, even those who have fractures or abrasions in their bones can recover quickly and without experiencing any negative side effects."
"This is outrageous. Will change the medical industry forever."
"So what do we have to do?"
"Put up for clinical trials starting from America since they hold a lot of credibility in the medical field."
"Do we have the necessary positions to start the process."
"We don't."
"JARVIS!"
"According to where you establish the business, if you wish to begin the process, you must first have a drug laboratory approved by one or more nations. Only then can a medicine be licensed for use by the general population after having undergone months-long clinical studies."
"So how many months give or take?"
"Sir, at the fastest estimate it will take 8 months."
"Do we have establish a new company or just can buy an old company and introduce the drug?"
"Each has its own advantages and disadvantages."
"Lay it on me JARVIS."
"If you start a new business, Sir, FDA might never approve you since they have their own coffers to line. They may appear to be quite honest and open, but if a drug seriously upsets the financial stability of several corporations, they will undoubtedly reject it. It will take time, but you can start the same business in other nations if you get along, and eventually the FDA will be obliged to approve your drug since their pockets will be empty. Additionally, it will be simpler and faster if you take a well-traveled path."
"Won't the other companies get a hit after we release the drug."
"There is a 50-50 chance for that. I and Miss Sigret have gone through the drug and it will definitely make many people unhappy but if we just go through an established route, it will help fill the pockets of some of them. But of course, some other companies will come after you. Another problem of going though the established route is you, Sir. You will have to buy a huge margin of stocks of a Drug laboratory and thus when the investors meeting is called for, you sir will have to face them."
"So basically I will have to risk my identity in order to make it faster?"
"You got that right, Sir."
Robin paused and began to reflect. He had been gaining power while spending a considerable amount of time in secret, away from the spotlight. He did that because he valued his privacy. Once his face is become public, his life is no longer private.
"Sigret, what do you suggest?"
"I think it's time you show up and take the reins of the horse."
"..."
"Fine. I will do it myself." Robin said as he clenched his fists.
"JARVIS, buy the stocks of a prominent Drug Laboratory. We will leave for America once it is ready."
"Affirmative, Sir. I will book a flight to Princeton, New Jersey."
"What is the name of the Lab?"
"With offices throughout Europe and Asia, the LabCorp Drug Development Laboratory is one of the top pharmaceutical research facilities in the world. They are well-known and have well-known people as investors. The safe bet is that Laboratory."
"Go for it."
"You will have a 5% share on the stocks, the highest number in the group of investors and you will hold the veto power." JARVIS replied.
Robin merely nodded before entering the bathroom. He had witnessed close-range slaughter once more, and despite this, he was still not entirely accustomed to it. He would need some time to become numb to the cost of human life.
March 4, 2023
This time Robin was not flying alone as the Bombardier Global 8000 took off from Schiphol airport. He was accompanied on this tour by both Sigret and Myrene. primarily for two causes. Darkstar Investments' co-owner Myrene and Robin's banker Sigret were both females. When a business or a person needed professional assistance, a banker would typically handle all financial transactions, and Sigret would be ideal for this position.
When two stunning women arrived with Robin, Cassandra and Emily were a little taken aback because they had assumed that Robin was more of a loner based on his habits. At first, they believed Robin to be simply another multi-millionaire with a bunch of ladies hanging around. But as the jet passed over the Atlantic Ocean, they came to the startling realization that the new women were solely Robin's business partner and that there was no sexual tension between any of them.
