Chapter 463 Where is She? (1)
"Hey, do you think that they are going to try and enter the stronghold?"
"Who cares? There are a lot of people that come over with the intention of going inside the stronghold. But in the end, they always end up getting beaten up if they don't turn back when they arrive at the entrance."
"But still, I do wonder how this group managed to get inside here. With how frail their bodies look like, I do have some doubts about them passing the test."
"What do you know? If they actually came in without passing the test, then, that implies that, they have some connections in the stronghold."
"Oh, is that so? I'm so envious of them. I have incredible capabilities but still, I am not recruited by the stronghold. They on the other hand look frail, but still, they are being recruited by an organization inside the stronghold."
"There's no need for you to be so envious. You have only been here for 2 days now. We on the other hand have already been here for about 5 years, but we have not yet gotten the chance to enter the stronghold. So, hold on, you still have a few more years to start becoming envious."
"Seriously? Then what was the issue about telling us that when we come here, we were going to get stronger than before?"
"As long as you have money, you can purchase several things in the city. Anyway, those things cannot be found outside the new domain, and they are not allowed to be taken out. Although they might be precious to us, they are completely useless to the people that are inside the stronghold."
"Damn it! If I knew that it was going to be this way, then, I would not have decided to come over. I would have been enjoying myself out there now."
"It is not like they are prohibiting you from leaving. But anyway, you never know, you might just get out when the people from the stronghold decide that they are going to take everyone that is inside the city into the stronghold."
"Whatever. I'll just hold on for a few more days. If there are no more changes, then, I can go out and enjoy myself. There's no need for me to continue getting caged in this place without anything to get. Anyway, I don't have money to purchase anything from the market in the city."
…
At the entrance of the Stronghold, the ones that were in charge of security were not to be underestimated. For security purposes of the stronghold, the organizations present inside the stronghold always collaborated with each other to ensure that the security was maintained.
So, they all sent at least 20 five-star ordinary human level humans. Apart from that, they also sent forward a seven-star ordinary level human to be in charge of the team of 20.
Of course, there was none of them that decided to take something like shifts. If they decided to leave a single organization to handle the entrance, they might not even know when the other organizations snatched away many talents.
This time, Samantha did not give this group of people the time to stop them. Instead, as she approached, she revealed the armor that she was currently wearing under the overcoat.
The group of people who were just about to prevent them from going any father were surprised when they saw the armor. Moreover, they were even more stunned when they realized that the number of stars was actually eight.
With respectful expressions on their faces, they both retreated as they opened the gate. Of course, they did not open the entire gate. Instead, they opened the small gate where humans were using to enter and exit the stronghold.
After Jack and his group finally stepped into the stronghold, they finally realized that the stronghold was completely a different world.
The streets were full of people, those that were ordinary humans and those that were normal humans as well. In other words, this place was just like any other civilization, no different from a city. It was just that, currently, it was managed by a group of strong people.
"Some people in the stronghold always start their own families. So, there are a lot of children that are born inside the stronghold. Since they are born inside the stronghold, they are not chased out even if they don't have potential." Samantha explained.
"Instead, they are the ones that are mainly used for logistics. They are in charge of maintaining the shops, cleaning, cooking and so on. In other words, they are in charge of the miscellaneous things that are needed to be done inside here.
The majority of the time, ordinary humans are always training. So, they don't really have that much time to go and start cooking." Samantha continued.
Jack nodded with an indifferent expression on his face. He could see that currently, there was not that much difference in terms of the behavior of the people inside the stronghold and those that were found in other cities.
The difference was just the level of technology that was found here. He realized that the vehicles found here were almost the same as the ones that he had introduced in the normal world.
It was just that, the vehicles here were more advanced. Some of them even did not have drivers, but instead, they depended on AIs to be driven around the Stronghold.
Inside here, there was no use of mobile phones. Instead, there were specific communication devices that were used here. They were more advanced than the mobile phones that were used by the normal people.
"Let us head towards the Panthers organization. I don't want to waste that much time. Since you told me that the Panthers organization is the strongest, then, I can start by dealing with it since I have some issues with it." Jack stated after a moment of silence.
Although Samantha was not sure about the level of strength that Jack possessed, but, she hoped that it was enough. She had heard rumors about the leader of the Panthers organization.
From those rumors, she could tell that the leader of the Panthers organization was not only ruthless and cruel, but, she was also strong. So, if Jack went there without enough strength, then, they were bound to be in trouble.
Although she had been suspecting that Jack was from the stronghold, a big one at that, but, from the way that he was behaving, it was as if he possessed no information about the Stronghold.
Although she was not sure about the big strongholds that were found inside the Stronghold domain, but still, she was sure that to enter the big strongholds, then, the entrances were just the same.
It was just that, the entrances into the stronghold domain in the areas where the big strongholds were located were more tightly guarded. Moreover, the mercenaries were not allowed in that area.
All the same, she knew that there was nothing that she could do even if Jack was not strong enough to resist the Panthers organization. She had already signed a contract that she was going to obey every command that Jack and Celine gave.
For that reason, there was no way that she was going to abandon them, unless she wanted to die. Additionally, she had already decided that she was going to follow Jack. Since Jack was capable of making Celine a superhuman so easily, she believed that it was going to be an easy task for her to become stronger.
The wish that she had was to of course stop being a cannon fodder. Although she might be considered strong inside this stronghold, but, this level of strength was nothing at all when compared to the entire stronghold domain. They were nothing more than just foot soldiers.
So, Samantha led the way towards the Panthers organization. Although she was not sure about Jack's current level of strength, but, she knew that he was already a superhuman. Additionally, there was also Celine who was also a superhuman.
So, with two superhumans making a move at the same time, she believed that even if the leader of the Panthers organization was strong, there was no way that she was going to defeat two of them at the same time, right?
….
At the same time, Daniel had finally entered the stronghold. He was familiar with this place as he had been inside this stronghold several times already in the past 3 years.
He walked towards the direction that he normally did. They did not meet inside any organization, rather, they always met in a residence of which he did not know to which organization it belonged to.
In reality, until now, even Daniel himself did not know which organization he was working for. He knew that currently, inside this stronghold, there were seven organizations. But still, out of all of them, he did not know which one he was working for.
Even the person that was giving him the mission never revealed anything to him. It seemed that whatever he was doing was always kept as a secret. As for how that was possible with the same meeting point, that was not something that he cared about.
Not long after, Daniel finally arrived in front of a villa. This villa was located a little far away from the center of the stronghold. This was mainly the area where people from the different organizations resided.
The villa In front of him was not that big. Instead, it covered about 200 square meters, composed of two floors. It was painted sky blue, and it had a courtyard that was filled with several flowers that emitted an attractive scent.
With incredible familiarity, he went ahead and opened the door of the villa. But, what he saw was not what he was expecting. Rather, the person that he found inside, was not the same person as he had been expecting.
