Time Ghost

Chapter 39

Marcel Dubois wanted peace and prosperity in Durino.

He sanctioned negotiation for non-violent bottom line to be achieved. Despite perverted thoughts of the old man, the real Marcel Dubois was hurtful. To be at the paramount stage of political profession means liability will be blamed upon the sole leader at the top. A President will be humiliated regardless of accomplishments in their tenure. At this situation, Marcel Dubois could only lessen the throbbing agony by putting greatest effort towards his own beliefs.

Which is to cease down the hatred and scale up struggle for harmony instead. Of course, it will generate another form of detestation, but it’s the President’s motivation and desire in his leadership. Nothing was seemingly worthless if your ambition is at hand.

Nobody could ever deteriorate a dream of someone in slumber when its owner is in charge.

And for me? I will use James Watson for achieving Marcel Dubois’ dream first. Someone out there that plays around with my liquid would want this in the end. For me to transform four person’s life in coherence ahead of each other’s goals, my employer relishes me in crafting coordination over their miserable decision and resolve their issues at the same time.

By putting a bridge in between.

“What’s your input, Mr. Watson? You now have your chance to speak. Please, enlighten us with advanced weaponry of yours.”

Neil Rudolph proceeded to take a seat once his part on the presentation table was fulfilled. He explains of many options provided in their own drones’ cache. There are offensive and defensive ones to consider throughout, from which are equipped with small guns to cover themselves against opponents on the road. Some has missiles for counter-act in opposition to the offensive drone adversaries before them.

And now, the man in glasses stands up. He inserted 1 terabyte USB flash drive into the port provided under the desk. Without further ado, its sophisticated machine displays numerous sets of pre-prepared three-dimensional portraits of high-end technology that Drolyfe, inc. has invented.

Hopefully, I can lure him into it. Make it work, Damien!

James Watson then clicked on the first drone on the panel,” This is the technology we have invented three years ago. A prototype but shows promising results on each trial taken.” He puts a triangular-shaped hand gesture in front of his chest,” We called it ‘neuro-transform’. Semi-offensive and capable for disabling a bunch of electronic-based technology by emitting electro-magnetic pulse from its core.”

“Good, what’s next?”

As the air force General nodded towards the first technology in his disposal, James Watson flicks the picture to display another one on the table. It is black-colored with fixed wings on the side of its lean physique,” This is pure offensive. It has 8 slots for missile payload and also customizable for daily use. By the meaning of ‘customisable’, you can choose what types of missile you want them to deliver.” He clears the throat, then continues by fitting his forefinger towards the head of the drone,” Moreover, it could be deployed without anyone on the steering wheel. You don’t have to pay hefty salaries for an operator, since its automated software could do that for you.”

“How could you fly a drone without operator?” Neil Rudolph asked.

“I have updated it to be autonomous, Mr. Rudolph. We can deliver it to you for a trial tomorrow.” He responded with a smile adorned in the end,” Are you employing active soldiers for maintenance of the drone? How expensive.”

Against the insult given by the man in glasses, Neil Rudolph scratches his head,” Kind of, Mr. Watson. I’m in trouble if our President knows about this.”

“So, you wanted me to make this technology invisible, then?”

Neil Rudolph nodded,” Yes, if you can create them to be invisible before enemy’s eyes like Armean Technology does, I will pay more.” He ensured.

You wish, Neil Rudolph. If I got to possess Marcel Dubois once more, you’ll be punished accordingly. It’s not your fault, though, so I ain’t gonna rush to it for the time being.

Then…

He will invest into our ‘artificial technology’ and being mad about it in a moment or two. Budgets will be spent for pushing its development and to manufacture them in a massive amount after that. Our company could make seven of those alongside its modified warheads for supplies to their army.

A million should make them flinch when the President of Naulus discovered such petty moves around.

Then…

I’ll send a modified prosthetic leg to Armea. I require someone’s cooperation in this chapter. Baron Schneider, He’s the key to this whole campaign. If I’m not getting transported into his body, I’ll reveal them up by force.

It is the end of his presentation. In about an hour and a half, James Watson has presented 7 forms of drones in Drolyfe’s collection. Most of them has created meaningful impression towards Neil Rudolph as the air force General applauds,” I’ll take just two, the black-ones with automatic operating system and the EMP drones. Please, Mr Watson, applies the automatic technology to the EMP mechanism, as well.”

“I’m on it, Mr. Rudolph. We’ll be returned here after 1 month to demonstrate its capabilities.”

James Watson shakes his hand as the air Force General offered.

“How’s the presentation, boss?”

On the way home, Samuel cracks open an 1881-old champagne to salute. James Watson puts forward his glasses for the chauffeur to fill upon. Beams of satisfaction decorates their expression as the jet plane glides away from Naulus. Their sole flight attendant has also been involved in their trivial party by putting her own share of glass to collide against each other,” For our victory!” The man-in-glasses shouted.

“That was great, Samuel! You’ve helped me a lot. I’ll send you a bonus after this.”

Ahead of James Watson’s offer, Samuel clenched a hand up front,” It’s our win, Mr. Watson. You don’t have to hand me a bonus. My salaries are enough to settle when you’re alone.” He replied.After a sip, the chauffeur said afterwards.

“By the way, boss, someone named Ariza wanted to meet you. She said it’s business-related matters.”

Ariza? Found no one in my memories’ stash somehow. Is she romantically related to James Watson in a way?
