Jaden was surprised when he heard those words. Even with hissharp senses, he could not detect the sound of someone approaching them.

    He could of course detect the sound of the movements from

    within the parking, but that was not from the mutants, but instead, it was from

    the guards and other owners of some of the cars within the parking.

    If what Nameless had said was the truth, then that implied Read the latest on empire Sear?h the N??eFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    that he had an ability that was related to detection. Either blocking or doing

    the tracking himself, it was quite an ability.

    Regardless, he followed behind Nameless, and the two of them

    got into the space that had been opened up after the wall had moved.

    Even though the wall had moved, and there was light within

    the underground parking, Jaden could not see what was inside. It was as if

    there was something that was blocking the light from penetrating the entrance

    that had just been opened.

    But all of this changed the moment that they got in. The

    darkness inside simply dissipated, allowing Jaden to see what was around him.

    It turned out that they had gotten inside something like a

    cube, which looked like an elevator. But there were no buttons that could

    control the elevator.

    Just after the two of them had gotten inside, the wall that

    had opened began closing. And it was also at this point that he noticed

    something.

    Inside the cube that they had entered, while on the other

    side, especially the door, was just normal construction material, from the

    inside, he noticed that it seemed that advanced technology had been used.

    It was some kind of shiny material that could reflect light

    slightly, but not glaringly. They were so smooth that even Jaden could easily

    see his appearance. Had it not been that the surface was brownish in color,

    Jaden would have thought that this was a mirror.

    After the ''door'' was closed, Nameless approached it. He then

    placed his hand on it. The next moment, a faint light came from the surface

    that he had touched, before it scanned his hand.

    {Welcome.} A female electronic voice suddenly resounded

    within, startling Jaden slightly.

    "Take us to the entrance of the lab." Nameless stated.

    {Please wait for a moment.} The voice responded. And then in

    the next moment, Jaden noticed that there was a change.

    He could tell that they were moving downwards at this

    moment. That was simply due to the feeling that came, especially due to an

    elevator moving downwards at a high speed.

    Jaden understood that they were currently moving downwards,

    which was something to be expected. And a few seconds later, the electronic

    voice sounded once again.

    {We have arrived at the entrance of the lab.}

    Immediately after the voice, the entrance of the elevator

    opened, allowing Jaden to see what was on the other side.

    "This is something that I had to find some guys that are

    quite skilled to create it. They knew about this place, but they did not know

    about what is here.

    It can be said that those that I invited have a slightly

    good relationship with me. That is the only reason why I trusted them to create

    this for me. Otherwise, in order for us to be able to get here, we would have

    had to demolish the hotel above us." Nameless explained just after they had

    gotten out of the elevator.

    "How deep are we underground?" Jaden asked in response as he

    looked around.

    He noticed that there was nothing around them other than a

    metallic door a few meters ahead. As for the path that led there, it was a

    corridor that was led from the elevator that was already closed.

    The entire space was currently lit up, making the place seem

    more advanced, just from the metallic walls. The floor beneath them was clean,

    reflecting the light that came from the ceiling.

    "We are currently just about a hundred meters underground.

    This was something that we did in order to make sure that the location of the

    laboratory was not revealed.

    The entire laboratory walls are reinforced with steel,

    making the lab something like a stronghold. It cannot collapse despite the

    pressure coming from above.

    Of course, this is something that I would not have been able

    to complete recently. With the current development of the city, it is obviously

    impossible for me to do something like that as it will lead to a huge

    commotion.

    But considering that this was something that was done years

    ago, just before this city developed to the current level, the tremors that

    were caused back then we''re thought to be a small magnitude earthquake."

    Nameless responded with a lengthy explanation.

    Jaden raised his brows slightly when he heard that. It was

    quite unexpected that this lab was located this deep underground. But when he

    thought about it, he realized that it actually made sense.

    In any case, this city was only established recently, at

    least to become a first tier city. It was initially a small second tier city,

    but that changed with the change in powers in the government.

    The new leader wanted the entire central province to be

    developed, which was the reason for the rapid development of the city to the

    current level.

    Just as he thought about it, he realized that in the

    information about this city that was presented by the AI, this piece of

    information was contained.

    But it was impossible for Jaden to know about something like

    this as he had never anticipated that the laboratory was located in this city.

    More than that, it was completely unexpected that the lab would be located in

    the heart of the city.

    But thinking about it, Jaden realized that this was not

    something that had been done intentionally. It was just that during the

    development of this city, it was just coincidental that this area developed

    more, leading to this area being the central and most developed area.

    "Let''s go. We better get what we need as soon as possible.

    Otherwise, if this guys up there come to know that there is a space down here,

    which they will surely know, we will have to fight against them, and there is a

    great risk that they will know about the presence of the lab here.

    It would be better if we go and confront them up there

    instead. That way, they can only imagine about what is here, and not be sure

    about it." Nameless said as he led the way towards the entrance of the lab.

    Jaden discarded the thoughts in his mind and immediately

    followed behind Nameless. He realized that he would have to be prepared to

    fight the moment that they got out of here.

    When the two of them got to the door, Jaden noticed that the

    entire door was just a piece of metal without any advanced devices. But after

    observing carefully, he noticed that there was a small part that looked

    completely different.

    Nameless was currently standing there. He placed his hand

    there, and in the next moment, the same light flashed like it did in the

    elevator.

    A few seconds later, there was a slight tremble before the

    metallic entrance began moving. And just as Jaden wanted to question why that

    was the case, when the door was only supposed to be opened by him, he stopped

    himself.

    The reason being that he saw that after the metal retracted

    into the wall around them, it exposed yet another door. It was just that this

    door looked to be more advanced as compared to the one before.

    "Go ahead. You just have to put your hand there, and the

    rest will be automatically completed." Nameless said as he pointed to a spot on

    the newly exposed door.

    Jaden looked over and realized that there was a small panel.

    On that panel that was the size of a hand but was rectangular shaped, there was

    a small opening. Jaden understood that this was the one that was supposed to

    get his blood for the DNA test.

    Jaden did not immediately do as Nameless expected of him. He

    would obviously not just blindly trust Nameless as this was just the first day

    that they had met.

    He observed carefully, just to see if there was any danger

    around, or traps. After detecting none, he looked at Nameless, observing his

    expression. But he noticed that Nameless was extremely calm, not having the

    anticipation that a person that was about to get what they wanted would have.

    Nameless noticed that Jaden was cautious, and he nodded in

    his heart in approval. That was something that he had hoped for.

    After observing for a while, Jaden went ahead and approached

    the door. He then placed his hand on the door. It was at that moment that light

    lit up on the panel. It seemed to be scanning his right hand.

    He suddenly detected some movement coming from within the

    door. It was clearly some mechanism of the door. And, it was operating at a

    high speed.

    Jaden did not feel any danger, and so, he left his hand

    there. And less than a second later, he felt that something had pricked his

    palm, shocking him slightly. After the advancement that came from the physique

    enhancing pill, it was not that easy to prick his finger.

    But it seemed that the material that was used to create the

    needle was quite special that it could still prick him despite the strength and

    tenseness of his skin.

    About five seconds later, Jaden retracted his hand. And

    then, he detected that a slight movement coming from the door and it began

    opening.
