After notifying his team about their next mission, Reven went to meet Vera. The reason why he wanted to meet Vera was to see if the Nanotech suits are ready or not.

At Vera’s research office.

“Hey! Vera are the suits ready?” Reven questioned.

“They will be done in a week. I am just installing the final programs. You are in for a lot of surprise here.”

“That’s good… I will be needing the suits as we are going to a new mission.”

“What? But didn’t you just come back from Outer Circle.” She looked at Reven for answer.

Seeing this Reven smiled bitterly and continued “Well… I have orders. Can’t deny it.”

“Those bastard. They really want to squeeze you guys dry. Always using you guys.” Vera fumed.

“Ignore it Vera. It’s a mission me and my squad will complete it and soon be back. Now tell me, have you 2 decided what I asked you about?”

“I have discussed about it with Aimee. Well she agrees too. But the problem is how are we gonna make others accept that?”

“Don’t worry about it. I have a plan for that you guys just have to be prepared. Making a guild will be beneficial to us in the long run. It will be a form of protection to us. Plus, it will be profitable too. As for when to act, the best time will be when the next wave hits.” Reven said with a cunning smile.

“About that do you have any idea when it may hit? I mean the concentration of Ardor is increasing here which most likely means that the conditions here are getting more and more suitable for their survival here.

These portals are still hovering above our heads that itself is another problem.” Vera gravely said.

“About that I don’t really have any analytical data. But if I had to make a guess then I think it will hit within 3 months.”

“Why 3?”

“Just my intuition.”

“Ohh! You are really believing that.”

“Well… Nowadays I do believe in it. Plus, my stats show that I have something called [Seamless Intuition] which I think means I will be rarely wrong when it comes to intuition.”

“I see. Then I guess we should start training more and hurry.”

“Well yes you should do that. Also how is your relationship going on I thought you guys will marry soon but nothing?”

“Sigh… Our relationship is going through what you call the tough phase.”

Huh-!

“Listen it’s like this, after the Advent he also had a mental breakdown. I mean he lost his family there and that too because of the monsters so I can’t really blame him. But after seeing the psychiatrist his conditions are still worsening.

I even took 3 months leave to take care of him. But he seems completely detached to me. I have work too so I hired a P.A. for him. Nowadays he rarely calls me anymore.”

“It’s okay girl. I mean the guy lost his family maybe a little more time and everything will be alright. Though I personally don’t like what he is doing cause most of the people have suffered in the Advent and they are moving forward to save whatever is left to them.

But this guy is acting like an edgy idiot. Sorry to say that but you should talk to him about it. You know sometimes a push is all that’s needed to bring out a person from their agony. But that’s your personal matter so let’s leave it at that.” Reven suggested.

“Whom are you calling girl? I am a full-fledged woman. And why the fu*k you sound like a sage?” Vera snorted and said sarcastically.

“Well… Woman then.” Reven scratched the back of his head.

Hehehehe-!

“You dummy I am just pulling your leg.” Vera started to laugh.

After finishing their conversation Reven left the office.

At Dr. Giovanni’s lab.

Reven could be seen talking to a young man, this man is none other Dr. Giovanni’s son Valey Giovanni.

“Reven, how are ya man? Years have passed since I last saw you at the academy.”

“I am good. I heard you awakened your ability, it’s called [Super Sensitivity] isn’t it.”

“Yup, it allows me to draw great conclusions from my research. In fact, it allows me to have advanced senses during fights. Though I am not a fighter.”

“I see. This ability gives you to draw many conclusions from the information you have or the experiments you do.” Reven was very interested in his ability as he himself had a skill named [Super Senses].

From Valey’s idea it seems this [Super Senses] skill helps Reven in his research mainly as for battles he had his Seamless Intuition for that only.

“The old man told me about the GEP 2.0. This is really going to be another revolutionary thing and we can sell in too without any problems as it will not be like the GEP.”

“I have come here to discuss that only.”

Dr. Giovanni also entered the room as Reven said that.

“Reven boy, the data you sent finally helped to stabilize the Potion. It’s really a miracle but we have succeeded in creating GEP 2.0. As for the business part I think you should discuss that with Valey here. This old man is more of a researcher than a businessman.”

“Well… First of all, congratulations to us! As for the details I think you should see the details too. I am thinking of creating a big company so it’s important.” Reven said as he sent a file to them via ‘Empress’.

Valey read the details of the company and looked at Reven speechlessly.

“It seems you want become a businessman after leaving army. As for the plan I don’t have any problems amount of shares I am getting is just fine. But how are we supposed to launch the product?”

“We will launch it after six months. We will collaborate with Evergreen Industries as for promotion I have a plan for that. We just need to buy a factory of our own which I have already done so no worries there.

As for the Potion we will sell a diluted version which will simply enhance the Ardor quality even if someone is already awakened and started cultivation. As for the real version, I think you know that it’s better for it to be a secret as it contains secrets of GEP itself embedded in it. And we don’t want that leaking out just yet.”

“True. That will be the most valuable.”

“So I think we should start production too as it will certainly have a high demand.”

“Okay then. I am willing to be an investor in this project too then.”

“That’s fine by me.”

“What is the name of the company though?”

“I have thought of ‘ETHOS’ which means character or essence. What do you think?”

“That’s quite a thoughtful name. I like it.”

“Then that’s set. Also Dr. I need a Potion myself.”

“Okay I will bring it.” Dr. said.

Valey looked at Reven and said “Don’t tell me you…”

Three weeks later.

Reven was sitting cross-legged in his room completely naked. His body was heating tremendously. This was the sign of Reven’s awakening.

The heat around his body kept on increasing. At a certain point his body started to glow and the Ardor around his started to channel inside him.

‘Now!’ Reven thought as he took out a potion. This was none other than GEP 2.0.

He took it and gulped it down in a single go.

After drinking it Reven’s body started to glow more but the Ardor around him didn’t channel inside him rather Reven’s body was feeling immense coldness.

This was the effect of the GEP 2.0. The Ardor around him started to reinforce every single cell of Reven’s body it looked as if his body was going through a second assimilation.

Yes, even though it sounded absurd but that’s exactly what was happening right now.

CLICK-!

A loud click was heard inside Reven’s mind.

The process of assimilation soon completed. Some amount of impurities also came out of Reven’s body but it was not much as he had already cleaned himself of impurities once.

After this was done his body started to heat once more. His body glowed even more now. A large amount of Ardor formed a tornado around him with him as the centre.

Soon the Ardor channeled inside him as Reven circulated [Harmonic Ardor Regulation Art]. His body started to feel pain as he circulated it to open his Physical Body Sheath.

Soon a large amount of Ardor also started to automatically channel inside is Root Cog’s position. He was awakening abilities too!

Now Reven’s body was literally undergoing a double awakening. His body was continuously fighting with Ardor to stop opening his Physical Body Sheath. At the same time his Root Cog was greedily devouring Ardor to Awaken his abilities.

This condition continued for 12 hours straight when suddenly…

BOOM-!

…..
