Jeslyn got to Rex’s home that evening but unfortunately, she was a minute too late. With the worried look on her face, Celestine couldn’t help but ask.

“What’s the matter?”

“Oh, it’s nothing. Please inform me when he returns.” She left after that and returned home.

Meanwhile, Maverick had hit a dead end in his hacking. He didn’t foresee it would be this difficult to claim the facility even though the chip was with him. The ‘sun‘ has dealt them a serious blow that a lot of them, including him, were dehydrated.

Inside the facility, the others were excited as they watched their enemies throwing painless punches in order to survive.

The team leader was over himself with laughter as they mocked Maverick.

“Alpha Chaos of all people, I can’t believe he’s so and so. What a hype! Hahaha…!”

“True, it’s a pity that a man like this will die at a place like this.”

“When one bites more than they can chew, their mouth suffers. Hahaha!”

“We made it too easy for him. Why don’t we shoot them all and arrest Alpha Chaos and take him to the Sovereign?”

“No, I want to see him fall from that chair and admit defeat before me. I’m the greatest computer expert of all time! Even his father is nothing compared to me! So how dare Maverick challenge me?!” The team leader took it personally.

Everyone stayed silent as they all looked at him. Their team leader is one of those who hates Alpha Chaos the most. From the onset, he believed he was better than Maverick and should be the Holy Son, but unfortunately, the Sovereign didn’t see him as one fit to take that position.

“I am better than him, yet he was made the Holy Son. Why?!” He paused, then leaned towards Maverick’s image that was being displayed and continued. “You were made the Holy Son because. Sovereign thought you had the best brain. Now that it’s been confirmed that I’m better than you, should gracefully take your place, is that not?”

At that moment, the door was pushed open and Sovereign walked in. “Indeed. You’re greater than him, which has earned you the title, Holy Son. Clean up, but leave Maverick to me. Put him in prison until I get back.”

With that said, the man turned and walked away. The people in the control room all knelt in front of their team leader and chorused;
