Chapter 159 - One Five Nine
A few days passed by, the whole planet of Ayangdad was in an uproar.
A little while back the Alliance government had gone full force to oppress the rebel force by conducting multiple raids on different small rebel gatherings and temporary bases.
The number of rebels killed and captured were increasing day by day when the rebel forces retaliated.
And the retaliation was a fierce and swift one, not even the alliance government fore saw such a retaliation from the rebel base.
The alliance forces suffered major casualties and destruction in different fonts, but the most humiliating thing for the alliance forces was that most of the rebel operatives that were captured were freed by the rebel retaliation.
The city of Monero, the capital city of the alliance government, was in an uproar after the news came to light.
The administrative building of the government and main government body was in a very solemn mood.
President Lauren was chastening his subordinates and military officials.
President Lauren looked at the middle aged man with grey eyes, black crop cut hair and clean shaved face, in black suit with extreme anger and asked
" What the hell was your intelligence department doing Gabe… ?"
The man Gabe was the head of the intelligence department of the alliance government, even though he was troubled inside about the whole situation he only showed stern expression on his face and replayed " Sir President, I accept that this was a failure on the part of the intelligence department . The Raven managed to blind us this time, none of our hidden spies were able to find any lead on their new weapons until they were used in the grounds.
Even now we were only able to gather very little intelligence regarding the top grade plasma guns and portable laser cannons, One of our spies was only able to get the intel that the Raven has been in contact with black market weapon supplier from the Fierce Sandha star system for some time.
There is a high possibility that it was this black market weapon supplier that supplied them with the new guns and cannons…"
Lauren was really displeased with his intelligence department " useless, you don't have any good intel even after the weapons had already reached the hands of our enemies and they have used it on us…. Hah."
The president could only clutch his hand and close his eyes to calm down.
While he closed his eyes the image of a beautiful mature woman in black dress appeared in his mind and he slowly muttered " Elektra.."
Then he spoke up again to his officials
" I don't care what you do, I want to know everything about these new weapons and every movement made by the rebel forces…."
...
While all kinds of uproars were happening all over the planet, the man who was the main reason for all this upheaval was leading a group of people around the secret facility.
Dror was leading a group of researchers and scholars, like a tutor leading his students on a study tour.
He stopped in front of a door before saying " see the sign here, this is the blue stained ginseng extraction unit, this whole area is dedicated to the extraction of the blue pigments from the blue stained ginseng. You should have read the translated files related to this specific department right.
Blue stained ginseng has a very cold property, It can survive and retain its medical property only under low temperatures.
So the temperature of this whole unit is always kept below 10 degrees."
An old man probably in his 70's lifted his hand and spoke.
" Teacher Dror, What do you think about the usage of calligraphy in the printing on the different parts of the facilities? Don't you think the aesthetic sense of the people of the ancient civilization are of a very high level..."
the sides of Dror's Right eye slightly twitched when he heard this form of address As he cursed in his mind.
" This old fellow keeps on calling me teacher, teacher, as if I am really his teacher and older than him… ? "
Two of the young female disciples giggled, when they saw Dror being called teacher by this Old man.
Dror could only furrow his forehead while remembering what happened two days earlier.
Everything was going smoothly for Dror as he had nothing to do other than casually reading some of the paper files and other records he found from the facility, while Nympho continuously translated different files non stop.
He was finally enjoying the luxury of outsourcing the labour and enjoying while others worked for him.
That is when some of the main researchers from the other rebel bases arrived.
The newly arrived group was divided into two teams led by an old man and old women.
One group consisted of scholars who studied the language, culture and lifestyle of the ancient civilization, while the other group consisted of scientists and researchers who focused on the technology and related studies of the ancient civilization.
When madam Elektra introduced Dror to the leaders of the scholars and scientists, they were really skeptical and completely disagreed on Dror leading the scholars and researchers team.
After some arguments this same old man who was standing right before him even challenged him to show his expertise on the ancient languages.
Of course with the help of Nympho it was a piece of cake for Dror to utterly defeat this haughty and prideful old man.
The problems began from there, Dror only wanted to bring this extremely arrogant old scholar down a notch or two, but who knew his old man would want to take Dror as his teacher all of a sudden.
Dror didn't know what to do with this weird old scholar, thankfully with the mediation of lady Elektra Dror escaped for the time being.
But the old man was persistent and followed him around calling him teacher citing some old saying that anyone who imparted new knowledge should be respected as teacher and all.
Dror didn't know what to reply to this old man's question as he scrutinized the old man again.
This old man liked to wear a kind of ancient cloak dress and was half bald with little white hair and a long white beard and mustache.
His black eyes that were slowly turning grey reflected the long life that he had experienced, but there was still a bright glow in them showing his vigour to keep on moving forward.
That is when the Old Lady who was the leader of scientists chimed in. Unlike the Old man the Old lady wore a modern dress like a corporate lady along with matching jacket and round specs, she had clearly maintained her appearance and looked much younger than her actual age. Her brown hair that was tied tightly to the back and black eyes still exuded the vigour of young lady who was still pursuing her dreams.
" shut up Daniel, can't you see that Major Dror is explaining the specifics of this special unit for processing a special herb? Don't interrupt him unnecessarily because of your aesthetic sense and calligraphy nonsense.
And why are you going around calling this young man teacher, does his handsome face look more wrinkled than your old face…. Major Dror please continue with what you were saying about this specific unit, don't give ears to his nonsense.."
The Old man started trembling with fire burning in his eyes, he was pointing his finger at the Old lady
" Catherin, You Old hag, how dare you… "
Dror knew he had to mediate between these two old people, or this would lead to a full fledged argument and I would have to spend more time again.
"Ladies and gentlemen please, Professor Daniel please calm down how can a gentle man get angry at a lady so easily ….. As far as the matter related to the importance of calligraphy in the ancient language we will discuss it later and I have translated an ancient book which will be of great interest to you, we will discuss all this later… but now let's continue with this tour.. "
Even though Dror was meditating with these two old timers , he gave a secret thumbs up in his mind for the old lady.
With some more mediating, Dror was able to bring the whole group back in order as he continued the tour.
When finally Dror returned to his special office, he saw Nympho who was lying on the comfortable sofa.
Dror instantly understood that the nympho might have completed the whole translation work, so he directly went to his table to find a small chip that was placed along with a note.
" miser you better pay up some extra, or I am not going to help with any such tiring work ever again… "
Dror had a smirk as he took the chip and left the room without creating any disturbance.
Soon Dror was in front of Lady Elektra's office and before he knocked he heard her sweet voice.
" come in .."
The beautiful Lady Elektra gave a questioning look towards the Dror who entered the room.
