The Zetta Sonic
Battery

It also means that Jayden sent the virus to Killer Bee without knowing that this hacker was the son of Mark Hill who was investigating his own father.

Doctor Vanessa massaged his temple. “This is dizzying, for me.”

“Very.” Professor Otto agreed.

“Why would Alex want to investigate her own father?” caitlin Sahut.

[That's something I don't know.]

Nadira clenched his hands. The situation worsens every minute. The only son of another ICPA leader was involved. Regardless of whether Mark knew it or not, the situation remained complicated. Nadira can make fake news easily for ordinary people. But, for people in the class of ICPA leaders, it is very difficult. Mark has his own network to investigate the death of his son. Again, if his son is dead.

For Nadira, the situation is much more favorable if Alex is alive. Time for him to suppress his men. “Good. In that case, save the child whatever the risk is!”

“That was also my wish. But--”

“No but, Vanessa! You're a former military doctor with a professor's degree. Can you call you a doctor if you fail to save people?” Nadira sneers.

Vanessa's eyebrows are linked. Maybe Nadira just wants to give a little boost. Even so, it is still not a suitable speech given to a doctor. Vanessa chose not to respond again. He must think of a way to keep Alex stable even though he is confused about what to do considering Alex's body is now mixed with many foreign substances.

Nadira looked at the professor. “Otto, we're back to the original plan. When viewed here, we already have a trial volunteer. Make him Sonic!”

Professor Otto was gawking. “But--”

“No but!” Nadira yells. “You didn't hear my orders? Do everything right! Otherwise, all of you will receive the punishment. Save Alex and make him Zetta Sonic!”

Caitlin clenched her hands without daring to make a sound.

Nadira glanced at the screen. “Jayden, now we have to figure out a way to cover up Alex's disappearance from his family. I mean, from Mark Hill. Actually, I didn't know that she lived in this city.”

Jayden agrees. [Wife Mark is an international actress, Alicia Remnant. He often travels abroad.]

“Alicia Remnant? A beautiful actress who just got two awards at once?” guess Otto. “I didn't know she was Mark's wife. I mean, their ages are far away. He was thirty-six years old. Are you sure that Alex is both of their real children? Not an adopted child or anything? This kid is a Hacker.”

Jayden rolled his eyes. Again, he is doubtful. [Very sure, prof. Believe me, I am as surprised as this fact. Alicia is often rumored to be dating an actor or businessman. She is young and beautiful. Who would have thought that she already had a fifteen year old child. Clever hacking, dare to break through our headquarters anyway.]

Jayden recalled that Alex had some skills that were unnaturally owned by a child his age. Alex also has adequate equipment, unique, sophisticated, and certainly expensive. With his family identity revealed, Jayden began to understand where all his capital came from. Money is also his personality. He is the son of an ICPA leader. Among continental leaders, Mark Hill was the youngest.

“What else do we know?” Nadira raised both eyebrows.

“He lives alone here?” vanessa Sahut. “Oh, poor boy.”

Jayden doesn't understand the poor definition here, but it's true. [Yes, Alex lives alone in the manor with a supervisor and a lot of servants. If we want to hide this reality from his family, it seems like we can deceive the people in the manor enough.]

Nadira sneers. “If he gets close to them, Alex won't hack Regis' system. You know what data Killer Bee saw? His father's financial data! Maybe this kid needs extra pocket money.”

“Or, he just needs to know the real identity of his father.”

[I've checked the data on Alex's phone. The last time he sent a message to his mother was two days ago. Her father made the last phone call four months ago. Uh, no. Five months ago.]

Nadira makes a grin. “Perfect! It will be easy.”

Vanessa threw her hand into the air. “What!? I need to talk to both of his parents. They let Alex grow up unaccompanied. That's ridiculous!”

Nadira moved his finger. “No, no! This will ease our work. His parents don't need to know that their son is Zetta Sonic, ready to catch the super villains. Remember, the goal of our operation is to save the world! No one knows who Zetta Sonic is but us here. Now, continue your work!”

 Nadira turned back to his assistant. Henrietta pushed the leader out of the room. There were only three people left in the room confused and worried with Alex who was still unconscious.

“If I were in your room, J, I would punch you!” Caitlin sounded furious.

[Very good idea, Caitlin. Maybe that's what I need. That way, I hope I can wake up from this nightmare.] Jayden sighed and sagged, making his face on the screen slightly cut off. He's very tired.

Doctor Vanessa massaged his temple back. “Alex malang. I didn't think he had that kind of background. Don't let Nadira make him just a tool too. Zetta Sonic is human.”

“I agree.” Professor Otto is now standing. “Come, Cait, time to set up generator.”

“Good, prof.” Caitlin nodded impassively, walking slowly behind the professor. “Should we raise the power if considering Alex got more injections than the dose should have?”

“That's obvious, Caitlin. I'll ask that our generator room has top priority. If necessary, I'll take electricity all over the city.”

“Wait!” vanessa said before the two men left. “What generator do you mean, prof?” Vanessa hugs the tablet PC while squinting. “Are we talking about electricity for this headquarters or what?”

Professor Otto paused for a moment to answer the question. “Doctor, I'm sure you forgot the theories we talked about. Basically, Dragon Blood is a chemical mixture that can store energy. We hope that when Dragon Blood is inserted in someone's body, such as an ICPA agent, his body can store more energy to act.”

“Yes, I remember. You said like a battery inside a robot toy.”

“Accurate once. The energy stored in Dragon Blood made its users able to do things above normal humans.”

“Like superhero.”

“Absolutely. Superheroes. I'm glad you remember what I said, doc.”

Vanessa took a deep breath. “I still don't understand completely. Professor Otto, you made me think that you would electrocute Alex with high-voltage electricity to charge the Dragon Blood inside him.”

Professor Otto showed a smile similar to the grin of a mad scientist. “Battery in manian robot, doc. Battery in robot toy.”
