Chapter 106: Madam Luna
Mark was growing too fast.
Salazar still remembers that conversation that he had with James just a few days ago! James said that Mark was already an A class and he could soon become S class. When James said that, Salazar did not take it to heart, he just thought that Mark would grow a little faster than most, but he never thought that Mark would become an S rank the very next day.
This rate of growth was unprecedented and it could mess everything up if Mark is not placed in his place properly!
Salazar was finally able to get rid of James, but he never thought that it would be this difficult to get rid of Mark. Salazar manipulated the information that the NSA research team submitted to James to make it seem like the number of monsters on the island was less than they actually were and that is the reason why the NSA members were so overwhelmed when they went to the island.
Now that James was gone, Salazar would be in charge of the NSA and his plans could really take off the way he wanted them to. But even though he was able to get rid of James, Salazar didn't like the fact that Mark was walking around so freely without a leash on him to keep him in place. Salazar would have even preferred if Mark was a part of a different country's NSA instead of staying in America.
That way, he could go ahead with his plans and it would already be too late before anyone could do anything about it.
But with someone like Mark here, will they really be able to finish their plans uninterrupted?
"Maybe it is time Mark met with an… unfortunate accident. He will become another problem like that woman if he continues to grow at this rate."
Salazar brought his phone out and put a call through. When the person on the other end picked up, Salazar could immediately hear the irritation in that person's voice.
[What is it now? Are you finished with your plans?]
"The plan fell through. Mark refused to come over to my side, so I have no use for him anymore."
[Is that so? So that means…]
"Yes, you may eradicate him. If I cannot have him, then I would prefer if he did not exist."
Beep.
The superhuman killer cut the call before Salazar could say anything more, and Salazar calmly put his phone away. He was already used to the way the superhuman killer ended calls, so he did not feel annoyed by how quickly the phone was disconnected. Even though the killer's plans almost interfered with Salazar's, he was glad that someone else hired the superhuman killer to deal with Mark.
Salazar knew that he would have hired someone to kill Mark if there wasn't already a killer after him, so this just made things easier for him! It's like borrowing your neighbor's cat when you have a rat infestation. You don't have to deal with taking care of the cat, but the cat will deal with all your problems even without you asking it to! There was no way for you to lose.
Ka-cha.
"Sir, are you finished with the meeting?" Milicent opened the door and entered after she saw Mark leaving his room. She had a worried expression on her face as she spoke because she saw the way Mark left, and she could tell that the meeting did not go well. Did Salazar have a falling out with Mark?
Milicent thought that Salazar was trying to recruit Mark into the NSA to bolster their dwindling forces, so having a fallout at this time was very bad for them.
Salazar glared at the humans on the ground once more before he turned away from the window and closed his blinds and began to loosen his tie while turning around.
"Yes, the meeting did not go well. I need to relieve some stress. Lock the door and come bend over the table."
Milicent nodded in understanding before she turned and locked the door, then walked over to do as she was told.
…
The sound of steam wafting out from a hot room hissed through the corridor as a man wearing a full suit walked down the path and finally reached a room on the right side of the corridor. He knocked once before he turned the knob and entered fluidly.
Once he was inside, he felt an intense amount of heat slam into his face before the steam in the room finally began to clear out to reveal the woman lying on top of a massage table with a short towel covering her ass.
She was lying on her front, so her breasts were pressed onto the table, but the side of her breasts slipped out from between her body and the table, showing a generous amount of skin to anyone who dared to look.
There was another woman in the room, massaging the first woman's shoulders and back with a relaxing cream that made her skin glisten and shine in the dim light of the room. The man who entered the room waited patiently for the woman on the bed to acknowledge his presence without saying a word. And it wasn't until the woman hummed and waved him on that he finally spoke.
"There has been a development, Madam Luna. The recent raid by the NSA did not end as you predicted. There were many casualties, but the NSA was capable of clearing the island and eradicating all the anima."
Madam Luna hummed again, this time in mild surprise as she heard what the man said. So there were people that managed to come out of that island without dying? That was… unexpected.
The woman on the table was known to the world as Madam Luna, but her real name was unknown to anyone. She was the head and sole owner of one of the most powerful guilds in America called the Moonlight Guild. This guild consisted mainly of A and S ranks, with very few B ranks acting as office workers within the guild.
The reason why she was able to control all of these people easily was because Luna was one of the first-ever superhumans to enter the rank of undefined.
No one knew how strong she really was because it was very difficult for human technology to measure the strength of those that go beyond a power rating of 2000, but she had enough strength to hold down five S ranks all at the same time, and if she was fighting close to her element, then there was no chance that the S ranks would be able to win.
Her power centered around and depended on the abundance of Water. Luna was blessed by Neptune, the god of the sea and tides, and she could do miraculous things with water. Some of the feats that she has performed with her element were seen as godly because of how impossible they seemed, but she was able to do them easily with her blessing.
