Chapter 382: Memory Altering Device
Bam!
Julius simply felt a wave of dizziness washing over him, as soon as a tremendous force struck him.
He was thrown backwards, before the person who had fallen on him crushed him against the ground. The tiles below him cracked from the sheer impact.
Julius felt pain all over his body, but he just could not understand what was going on around him. Everything around him felt unusual, as a sense of dizziness washed over him.
Unknown to him at the moment, several bones in his body had already been broken due to the collision.
At this moment, as Julius remained on the ground, his body writhing in pain, everyone around froze, as they all continuously shifted their gazes between Kate and the bodyguard who had just been sent flying towards Julius.
At this point, it was extremely difficult for them to believe that this was something that had happened in reality, and not in a fantasy movie.
Even Carol, who was standing right next to Michael, gazed at Kate, completely stunned. At this moment, she felt tremendously relieved.
This girl, it was obvious that she had a volatile temper. And the trigger of that temper was Michael, at least that was what she noticed.
It was when Michael was targeted that Kate reacted with such anger. And looking at her right now, Carol could clearly see that despite sending someone flying, Carol was still showing anger on her face.
The reason why Carol felt relieved was the fact that apart from acquaintances, with Michael being her benefactor, there was no any romantic relationship.
If Kate was the type to lose control, if she got to know that there was another lady who was interested in her man, she might have suffered severe consequences.
Additionally, she felt incredibly lucky that the relationship between her and Kate was good. At least, while they were not at the level that they could be considered friends, at least, it was not far off.
Moreover, she noticed something more, something that left her totally confused. Was Kate a normal human?
Because she had stayed in the central province for quite a while now, despite the fact that she was always busy with her schedule as a music artist, she had a broad social circle.
Even though some of the people that she was associated with were not very influential, but at least, with a broad social circle, she was bound to hear a lot.
A few times, she had heard people mentioning about the existence of humans that possess incredible abilities.
It seemed that they were talking about mutants, just like those that could be found in the science fiction movies.
Even though she felt that it was completely abnormal, she wondered, was it possible that Kate was a mutant? At least, that was the only thing that could explain why Kate was this strong.
As for Robin, just like the remaining two bodyguards, he was looking on with shock in his eyes.
Of course, the commotion here had already attracted the attention of the security guards and a few other guests that had not left the auction house.
At first, they were just looking on, for entertainment purposes. None of them had any intention of involving themselves in this conflict.
Still, some of them had made some calls, trying to understand Michael’s background. But they were surprised to realize that they could not find anything related to Michael.
This left them wondering about Michael’s background, as they immediately asked for deeper investigation to be done.
As for the security guards, but the individuals that were involved in the conflict were the guests of the auction house. Therefore, they could not interfere, otherwise, it would be easy to offend one party.
Additionally, both sides were VVIP guests of the auction house. While Robin was not a direct member, his father was.
And of course, it was impossible for Robin’s father to just watch as his son was dealt with, even if it was his son who was at fault.
For that reason, despite the commotion caused, they only looked on from the side, not even commenting.
But now, they were left shocked by the demonstration of power by Kate. At this point, they looked at each other, seeing the realization in each other’s eyes.
Still, they were kind of confused, wondering, with Kate displaying the fact that she was a mutant in public, was she not worried about the consequences?
Despite the fact that almost everyone who attended the auction here was from a high society, and already knew about mutants, it was forbidden for mutants to act in public.
This was a method that was used by governments all over the world, in order to prevent chaos from ensuing.
Despite the surprise, Michael on the other hand felt pleased. At the same time, he felt a warm sensation in his heart.
Clearly, Kate had lost control due to the fact that someone had targeted him. It was a clear indication that she cared about his well-being.
Apart from the old couple at the orphanage, it had been really a long time since he ever felt someone caring about him this deeply.
As a member of NEXUS, and having the intention of remaining within the organization, Kate of course understood the consequences of her actions.
If she restrained herself, at least to an understandable level, it would not be much of a problem to be able to cover for her.
But the demonstration just now, it definitely exceeded then normal range. Clearly, people had already noticed that something was abnormal about her.
Due to this, it was very possible that she might be removed from the organization. Worse than that, she might face a severe punishment from the organization, due to breaking the rules of the organization.
"Okay, calm down. Just beat those two up, and after that, we can leave." Michael said to Kate, a small smile etched on his lips.
At the same time, through the communication device, he communicated with Onyx. He instructed Onyx to deal with the surveillance footage, to clear anything that pointed towards the fact that they had acted here.
At the same time, he accessed the system store, trying to find something that he could use in order to deal with those that were watching from the side.
Just the cameras were not enough to be able to erase the evidence of what had happened here.
He had thought about using the same method that he had previously used on Bob, but he realized that it was not suitable.
After all, not everyone that was observing was guilty of such punishment. After all, the consequences of using that method was the fact that after some time, they would start experiencing headaches.
A little while later, Michael managed to find what he was looking for. Basically, it was an item that could alter the memories of everyone targeted within the surrounding 1 km radius.
It was kind of expensive, at least from a normal perspective. It cost a total of 732 SP, equivalent to $73.2 million.
Immediately after Michael completed the purchase, in his pocket, a device appeared.
Michael took it out, observing it closely. It looked no different from a smartphone, but it had a small screen on top of it, with 6 buttons below the screen.
Each button was labeled, one allowing him to be able to select options, another one for confirmation, and four of them for directions.
Having already read the description of this device, called the Memory Altering Device, Michael basically understood how to use it.
While he was focusing on using it, Kate approached him. She had already dealt with the remaining to bodyguards, and at the moment, only the trembling Robin was remaining standing.
The groans of pain could be heard around them, with screams mostly coming from Julius, who was terribly wounded.
As for the person who had smashed into him, that guy, his life or death were currently unknown.
Robin would never have dreamed that there would come a day where, he would come face to face with a mutant.
Even though his family was wealthy, and had quite some influence within the capital, they directly did not have any mutant.
They had some collaborations with a few mutants, two of them to be exact. But, each time that they needed a favor of those mutants, they would need to pay a hefty price.
Therefore, Robin had only met one of them once, and had heard about the other one from his older brother.
Initially, he was quite dismissive about mutants. He thought, they were just ordinary humans with good combat capabilities.
But now, coming face-to-face with Kate, who had just demonstrated how strong she was, he realized how wrong he was. At the same time, he felt both regretful and angry.
That idiot, why did he have to invite him? Additionally, the target that he selected, it just happened to be a mutant.
Since Kate was a mutant, it was clear that even his family would have trouble dealing with her.
At this point, he was sure, there was a high probability that his father would abandon him. Just how ruthless was his father? He himself understood clearly.
And to make matters worse, out of the five sons of the Harrison family, he was not the most liked one. In fact, his father kind of despised him, because of his hedonist habit.
"What about him? Do you have any plans of dealing with him?" Just as he was still despairing, Michael’s voice suddenly reached his ears, shocking him back to his senses.
