Chapter 466 Another Contract Again?
When Olivia detected the aura that was coming out of Celine's body, she was stunned. Although she had been expecting that even Celine was a superhuman, but still, it was completely different when facing her as a superhuman.
The moment that Celine released her aura, she looked towards Jack and said in a displeased voice, "Will the two of you stop it already? Samantha and Denali are not comfortable when you release you're aura that is of a superhuman. They have not yet become superhumans."
Jack had also realized this. So, during the time that he was releasing his aura, he made sure that it did not go towards Samantha and Denali. Instead, he focused all of it on Sylvia.
It was just that, Sylvia's aura was not directed towards him alone, but instead, it was directed towards the entire group. It seemed that Sylvia was confident of taking care of him and Celine together, despite the two of them being superhumans.
Knowing that there was no use in continuing to fight against each other using their auras, Jack increased the intensity of his aura, combined with Celine's aura, they immediately crushed Sylvia's.
Sylvia on the other hand immediately felt a huge amount of pressure on her. Just as she was about to attack, the pressure that was on her suddenly disappeared. Jack and Celine had both retracted their auras.
"I am not from any stronghold, so, don't expect me to be following any rules that belong to the stronghold. Today, I came here with the intention of finding my mother. According to all the information that I possess, everything leads to you. So, why don't you stop wasting our time and tell me where my mother is?" Jack asked.
Sylvia snorted. This was the first time in a very long time that she had ever been suppressed. Ever since the time that she had taken over the position of the supreme leader of the organization, she was the one who was suppressing all the other people. But now, there was a group of two that had arrived in front of her, easily overwhelming her.
But still, there was something that Sylvia could not understand. From the looks of it, the two people in front of him were actually youths just as the information that she had received from Doris stated.
Although it might be a difficult task for those that had not yet reached the superhuman level to distinguish the age easily, for her, that was something that she could do, although not accurately.
Just looking at Celine and Jack, it was clear that the both of them had not yet reached the age of 25. And, 25 was the age of the person who had set the highest record of breaking into the superhuman level.
Nevertheless, what she was focused on was different. Currently, Jack was actually asking for the information about his mother, something that she did not understand completely.
"You know, I was trying to look for information about you, so that I can see if I can find you. And after finding you, I was going to ask you about the whereabouts of your mother. But, from the looks of it, it seems that even you yourself don't know where your mother is." Sylvia stated after a moment of silence.
Although she was reluctant, currently, she had to agree that if she fought against Jack, then, he was definitely going to defeat her. And, currently, Jack was not alone as there was also Celine.
Still, although she was agreeing to reply to the question that Jack had asked, that did not imply that she had given in. As long as Jack decided to do something that she was completely against, then, she was not going to hesitate to fight against him.
Even if she was going to lose, she was going to fight. That was just how she was. She was not a person that was going to give up that easily.
Jack on the other hand was dumbfounded by what Sylvia had said. What she had just said was not different from what Maxwel from the shadow organization had said.
That guy had claimed that he was looking for him simply because they wanted to look for his mother. According to him, there was a contract that they had signed. They on the other hand had already completed their part, but, his mother Anne, had not completed her end of the deal.
According to the information that he possessed so far, he knew that, if a contract was signed between two people, if one of them died, then that contract was going to be annulled.
It was true that he had actually buried his mother when he was 15 years old. But, it turned out that what he had buried was actually her clone, and not a real body.
Due to the fact that the contract was still active, that implied that his mother was not dead. But instead, she was alive. It was just that they did not know where she was.
Jack had already done a lot of investigation, and each and every piece of them led him to this Panthers organization as the first suspect.
But in the end, it turned out that they were just looking for people that were close to his mother because they wanted to know about her whereabouts.
But there was something that when Jack thought about it, he felt his lips twitching. The shadow organization had decided to kidnap Celine in order to get to him. And through him, they were expecting that they were going to get to his mother. Although it was true that all of this was done by an idiot in the shadow organization, but still, that idiot was from the shadow organization.
And now, there was the Panthers organization. It was quite understandable that they had made a deal with Nathan, who was supposed to inform them about his mother's whereabouts. But after his death, they had actually intended on kidnapping his aunt Anita.
"Then why are you looking for my mother?" Jack asked. There was no way that Sylvia was just going to look for his mother for nothing, right? Additionally, from the looks of it, it was clear that his mother was known by Sylvia.
"Humph! We signed an agreement that she was going to help me with something. But, when the time came for her to fulfill her end of the deal, she disappeared. Then what? I have been trying to look for her, but there were no traces of her!" Sylvia responded furiously.
"Another contract again?" Jack was at first stunned speechless. But after a while, he regained his composure and asked, "What was it that you were supposed to do for my mother? I don't believe that she signed a contract so that she can help you, but she gets no benefit from it."
"What else? She wanted resources from my organization. Although the level of the resources that she was requiring was not that high, and the amount was not high as well, but still, it affected my organization a little." Sylvia responded.
At this moment, Jack began wondering what was wrong with his mother. She had signed several contracts, and each contract that she had signed, the other party had actually fulfilled their end of the deal. It was just that, before she could fulfill her part of the deal, she disappeared.
And, all of this was coming to cause him a lot of trouble. First was the kidnapping of Celine, and second, it was the attempt to kidnap Anita. He was starting to feel a headache when it came to matters concerning his mother.
"Could it be that whatever my mother is supposed to help you with is something that you got about 5 years ago?" Jack asked after some moment of thought.
For the resources that his mother had gained from the Panthers organization, he already knew that those were the resources that she had been giving to the shadow organization.
Those guys had been expelled from the Stronghold, out of the stronghold domain completely. But still, they had to develop. So, they depended on the resources that his mother acquired from the Panthers organization to develop to the level that they were currently in.
So far, from the information that he had received from Erick who had died by his hands, as well as Doris and her group, he knew that there was something that had happened about 5 years ago.
At that time, they had found something, of which they did not reveal its identity, claiming that, it was going to help their organization to become the supreme of the entire stronghold.
…
When Sylvia heard that, killing intent suddenly began surging out of her body. She looked at Jack with murderous intention, clearly indicating that she was ready to make her move. And this time, she wanted to go for the kill.
"How do you know about that?" Sylvia asked sternly. At this moment, she had already decided that if Jack was here because he wanted what she had obtained about 5 years ago, then, he was going to fight him to the death.
Whatever it was that she had obtained about 5 years ago was something important to her. That was something that she was intending to depend on to rise higher.
"Could be that your mother informed you about it? But that is an impossibility considering that we signed a contract with clauses that prohibited us from revealing the information." Sylvia began making guesses about how Jack had come to know about this.
As for her part, she was prohibited from revealing what resources and the amount that she had given out. So, her telling Jack and his group about it wasn't against the contract.
"There's no need for you to think much about it. I got that information from the group that was sent over." Jack stated, completely undisturbed by the killing intent that Sylvia was showing.
"Huh?" Sylvia was immediately stunned after hearing that. Then, with a furious expression on her face, she exclaimed, "That f*cking idiot! I already told him not to reveal the information to anybody! It seems that I made a mistake by leaving him alive!"
