章 15: Attack!
// A new day //
A salmon pink Bentley Bacalar drove into the underground parking of the Z-Tech Inc Tower.
Ava has an appointment with Miss Ava herself regarding the board member position.
Not hiding her identity as a daughter of the Johnson Family shows their intention regarding the company.
They want eyes and ears within the company and Ava knows this. If they decline Avery. The Johnsons will immediately go to war with them.
Accepting Avery to the company shows that Z-Tech is not an enemy because with Avery being part of the board members, they wouldn't be able to hide any major movement.
After Ava's discussion with Zeke, they decided to accept Avery for now.
The company has just begun and the foundations are not yet stable. That's what Ava thought, but Zeke has other plans.
The day Avery arrived, she was immediately contacted by Ava, and instructed to come over for a meeting.
She parked the car and entered the business center of the building.
There a receptionist recognized her immediately and guided Avery toward the conference room on the top floor.
"Miss Avery is here." A female voice came from the speaker.
"Please have a seat." A voice also came from the speaker.
"You can enter."
Avery slowly opened the door and saw the figure of a young man sitting behind a large desk facing the window with Ava standing next to him.
"I am Ava Rose. I am the current CEO and founder of Z-Tech Incorporated," Ava said as she walked towards Avery and offered her hand.
Avery shook it. "Nice to meet you. I am Avery Johnson, the daughter of the Johnson family. I am currently looking forward to working under your leadership."
"I have heard of your talent. I hope I can work with you as well," Ava said with a smile.
Avery's beauty paled in comparison to Eliza's.
At this time, Zeke finally turned around and faced Avery.
'Such a handsome man' Avery thought.
Zeke naturally read her mind.
Ava stood between them and introduced him.
"Miss Johnson, this is Mr. Brown. He is the true owner of this company."
"What?" Avery was surprised.
'Isn't this company owned by the Rose family? If not then who is he from?' she thought.
"I'm sure you're wondering which family I belong to, right? You need not worry about that. You only need to know that I have no plans of going against your family as long as I am not provoked." Zeke slowly released his aura.
It was as if gravity became stronger and the air got warmer.
Ava was also shocked. 'Is this his true strength? Even uncle cannot release such a strong aura! Who are you really?'
Zeke retracted his aura. "Tell your father that I will meet him tonight," he said.
Avery was once again shocked. "Y-you want to meet him?"
Zeke nodded.
Taking a deep breath, "Alright, Mr. Brown. I will let my father know."
Ava then took Avery to another room. Leaving Zeke alone in his office.
He looked at the horizon, a grin on his face.
'Anna, this is our chance to quickly conquer this city. If we can get the Johnson family under us, then it would boost my progress a lot. Tell your sisters to prepare themselves, I have a feeling, I will need your help for this meeting.'
The girls were all excited. Especially Bia who's been yearning to use her strength on somebody.
Zeke teleported back home. It was almost sundown. He wanted to prepare for tonight's meeting.
He was now used to teleporting in and out of places without being seen.
With four of the girls, Athena was still secretly protecting Eliza, as well as the 50 battle puppets, Zeke was more than strong enough for whatever came next.
The only way Zeke would lose is if the enemy had nuclear weapons.
He couldn't afford to take any chances and with Anna's help, he will be ready.
He found the perfect place for a meeting. He decided to meet Jean-Luc in his family's villa.
Once he's there, they would be able to speak privately without prying ears and eyes.
'Jean-Luc. You have no idea what's about to happen.' Zeke thought.
Jean-Luc was still worried. He was pacing back and forth inside his office.
Avery came a while ago and told him that she was accepted to the company and that the true person behind the company would be meeting him tonight.
He wanted to make sure that whatever happened tonight, he was ready.
He sent his family to hide in another city.
Tonight, the Johnson Estate's security was at max. He also stationed his private army all over the estate.
He placed hidden snipers and he even had 3 of his illegally owned Apaches on standby.
Now. Jean-Luc sat in his office, drinking tea, as he waited for the night to pass.
At this moment. Zeke had just teleported in a random room inside the Johnson Estate.
He let out the girls except for Anna.
This time, Anna decided to stay in the storage.
Zeke can sense 3 Apaches hiding in the mountains, as well as numerous soldiers and snipers.
They have prepared heavily for his visit.
But they did not know who they were up against.
Zeke sent the 3 girls to the 3 Apaches. He wanted to take over them.
He also sent the battle puppets to neutralize every single soldier.
He planned to make the Johnsons submit tonight.
Jean-Luc has been waiting in his office for so long. The clock hit midnight when he felt a presence behind him.
He turned around there he was. Zeke stood there with a cold face. His aura slightly leaking.
Jean-Luc was shocked. 'H-how did he get in?'
He was scared right now but he was no simple man either. There's a reason why he was able to rule Greenhill City.
Jean-Luc put on a fake smile. "You must be Mr. Brown, please sit!" He said as if Zeke's appearance did not bother him one bit.
Zeke sat on a chair in front of Jean-Luc. He leaned back and placed one leg on top of the other.
"So, what have you come to discuss, Mr. Brown?" Jean-Luc immediately asked.
Zeke didn't speak a word. He looked at the man with a cold gaze.
Jean-Luc felt very uncomfortable with his stare.
"I heard that you rule Greenhill City. I also heard that the people fear you." Zeke finally spoke.
"You can say that. So, why have you come here tonight?"
"I'm here because I'm interested in the power you have over this city as well as the surrounding cities," Zeke explained.
"What?"
"You're telling me that you've come all this way for that?"
"You're quite funny, Mr. Brown." Jean-Luc laughed.
"Funny? You're the funny one, Mr. Johnson." Zeke said.
"Mr. Johnson, the reason why I have come here is because I will be taking over the city."
"Take over the city? Just you alone?" Jean-Luc was not amused.
"Yes. You see, I don't plan on wasting my time and resources in trying to persuade you to join me, that's why I have decided that I will take it over by force." Zeke's voice was filled with confidence.
Jean-Luc was getting angry. This boy's arrogance was too much.
"I am no pushover, boy. You have no idea who you're dealing with. If you want a fight, I'll give you one!"
"Oh? Do you really think you have a chance?" Zeke smirked.
Zeke was enjoying the look on the old man's face.
"If you're so confident, then tell me, where is your army? Your soldiers? I have no idea how you've gotten inside my estate but don't expect to get out of here alive."
"Soldiers and an army? Those are nothing in front of me. You, on the other hand, have no idea what's going to happen in the next 10 seconds."
Jean-Luc didn't know what Zeke meant until a loud explosion was heard outside the manor.
The explosion was followed by multiple explosions and the sound of guns firing.
Zeke was already standing up when the explosion happened.
"What the hell?" Jean-Luc was panicking. He took out his radio. "What the fuck happened?!"
There was silence for a few seconds before someone finally responded.
"Sir! The Apaches are blowing up the sentry guns and all the armored vehicles! All of my men are being killed by assassins!"
Jean-Luc couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"I-impossible!"
"What do you mean they're killing all the sentry guns and armored vehicles? Are you telling me you cannot stop them?"
"Sir! The helicopters are also firing rockets at the surrounding buildings. They are completely decimating everything!"
Jean-Luc was sweating heavily.
'What the fuck is going on?!' He looked at Zeke. "Just who the fuck are you?!"
"I'm someone you cannot hope to defeat." Zeke didn't bother to answer the man's question.
He then sat back down. "As we speak, all of your soldiers are being slaughtered one by one.
Every single one of them, and you're the only one left."
Jean-Luc was stunned.
"You are not the only one who has secret forces, Jean-Luc. Now, you will give me what I came here for, or else, I will destroy you and everything you hold dear. No matter the results today, Greenhill City will still fall into my hands."
Jean-Luc was enraged. "You're lying! How could you have killed all of my men? My entire army consists of over a thousand soldiers!"
Zeke smiled. "Do you think a thousand men is a big deal to me? In fact, they are nothing in front of me."
"You..." Jean-Luc was starting to panic.
He did not believe a word Zeke said, but the explosions happening outside the estate were getting louder and closer.
The entire time, Zeke was reading Jean-Luc's thoughts. He wanted to know right away where he hid his family and he finally found out.
Zeke smiled. "You have 5 seconds to submit before I send the 3 Apaches to your beachfront villa in Maple City."
Jean-Luc was stunned, his face turned extremely pale.
Zeke continued.
"Let's make this clear. If you do not surrender within the next 3 seconds, all of your family, their bodies will be burnt to ashes and not even a single trace of their bones will remain. You will lose everything. Do you really want that?"
Jean-Luc clenched his teeth.
"1."
He felt a surge of rage.
Jean-Luc was fuming with anger and frustration.
"2."
"I give up! I fucking give up!"
"Good choice, Mr. Johnson," Zeke said.
"I'll let your family live as long as you follow my every order. Do we have a deal?"
Jean-Luc was trembling in fury.
"Deal. Just let them go."
"Good," Zeke said with a smirk.
At this time, Zeke ordered everyone to stop.
"Don't worry. I have no intentions of harming your family."
Jean-Luc was still skeptical.
"What do you want me to do?"
"From now on, I will control all the cities under you. You will be my lackey.
"Understand?"
"Fuck. Fine. I understand. But just let them go, please." Jean-Luc was desperate.
"I will let them go. I promised, did I not?"
Jean-Luc sighed with relief.
"But, the moment I sense a hint of betrayal. They will all die, got it?"
"I...I understand."
"Good."
Suddenly, a pill appeared in Zeke's hands.
Before this attack, he was worried about rebellion even after conquering them, so he decided to search the marketplace for anything that would solve this problem.
He found a pill that would enslave humans. Of course, this pill would only work on regular humans. A stronger pill is required for those with strength.
"Now take this pill," Zeke said.
Jean-Luc's face froze. Before, he had many plans to rebel after. he thought that he could defeat Zeke once he had the chance to gather all of his forces. Sadly, Zeke planned on cutting off any roads of escape.
"W-What is that pill?" Jean-Luc asked.
"Shut up and take it"
Jean-Luc took the pill with his shaking hands.
After swallowing it, his eyes suddenly turned dull.
"You will suppress any news about tonight. For now, just manage everything as normal."
Jean-Luc's eyes finally turned back to normal.
He doesn't know why, but for some reason, he feels weirdly loyal to Zeke who had just defeated him.
'What the fuck is going on? Why am I feeling this way? I should be mad! Why do I want to obey him so much?'
Suddenly, a huge pain took over his head.
"AHH!" Jean-Luc lay on the floor, holding his head tight.
A few seconds later, his eyes turned dull. He stood up, and his eyes again regained life.
This time, he no longer had any doubtful thoughts.
'The pill is so strong!' Zeke thought as he watched.
The three Apaches suddenly passed by the building at full speed.
Jean-Luc was startled. He looked out the window to see the Apaches flying away from his estate.
When he turned back around, Zeke was no longer there.
Zeke teleported to one of the Apaches.
Anna was in the rear seat, piloting the helicopter while Zeke put away the battle puppet that was operating the weapons on the front seat so he could sit.
The other two Apaches were being flown by Kali and Lilith with Bia operating the gunner seat in Kali's Apache.
"Zeke! You have no idea how fun these toys are! I blew up so many buildings!" Bia talked through the radio.
"Blowing up the buildings was not part of the plan you goofball" Zeke responded.
