NOVEL NEXT Chapter 36 - Study
Success is not obtained overnight. It comes in installments; you get a little bit today, a little bit tomorrow until the whole package is given out. The day you procrastinate, you lose that day's success.
*******
A few minutes after, Emma and the masked men left the Viper gangs. Rows of black cars parked in front of the building. Hefty men came out of the vehicle, fully armed. The surrounding people instantly run away.
Those with younger children. Carry their children and disappeared from the environment. Everyone knew what would happen next would not be pleasant at all.
A roar came from the Viper gang building. Everyone in the vicinity who heard the cry knows the Desert would be in unrest in the coming days.
Meanwhile, Emma didn't care. He took Betty to the next hospital. After Betty had been hospitalized. The fatigue came rushing on Emma after he had settled everything. But he knew it was not the time to relax.
"Get some people to monitor her." Emma talked to Zeus on his comm.
[On it.]
Emma walked out of the hospital, waiting for his ride to arrive. "Where is Amanda now?"
[12 avenues. She had already found an apartment. Currently, she is equipping the office with the necessary materials. Tomorrow, she plans to interview people for the free post.]
A car parked in front of Emma. Emma entered the car. "Good. Find a room for her. Notify me when she is ready to complete her work for today."
Meanwhile, the massacre that happens in the Viper gang building had already spread like wide fire. The news station was airing the news. But none of the news stations came to the building where the incident happening.
Everyone knew the rules. And it must be followed strictly. In this kind of incident. Every news station must not come to film the location of the incident. Else not to bring the wrath of the gangs on themselves.
Since the reign of the Vulture gangs. This was the first time that some of this magnitude would happen publicly.
But what baffled people most? No one knew the people behind the incident. And how those in the surrounding could not notify them.
Inside an office in the main street. A man was banging the table furiously. Veins were protruding from his forehead. His gaze was cold and deadly.
Those in front were trembling in fear. This man was the boss of the viper. He just received the news of the massacre of his gang while venting his anger on the table.
"I don't know what you do. Find the mother fuckers that did this. Bring them to me dead or alive." The boss shouted furiously.
***
Emma was already back at the sanctuary. He seat in front of the giant screen, looking at what the viper gangs were doing at the surrounding where their gangs were murdered. Anyone they saw was captured by force.
However, Emma didn't care. This was how it had been in Vulture City. The strong prey on the weak. Suddenly, Emma's stomach grumbled.

>> Your rate of improvement is too slow for my liking. If I was given a snail. I believe it would be faster than you. Get your ass moving...
Emma ignores Lily's comment. He looked at his stats for a few seconds before closing it. 'I need to complete today's mission.' Emma thought. He left the glass room and came back with food in his hand.
"Zeus, give me all the advance topics in mathematics and physic," Emma commanded while eating.
Instantly, the monitor in front of Emma was filled with advanced topics in mathematics and physics. Without stopping his food. Emma opened the first topic and began to learn it seriously. Seeing this. Lily was flabbergasted.
>>He is no more the same Emma…. What could cause the sudden change….Hmm.
After two hours. Emma had not to stand up from his seat. He was lost in his reading. There were liters of rough sheets around Emma, comprising all the mathematics workings he tried.
He failed many times, but he continued to persevere. The rate at which Emma was comprehending the topic was shocking.
Anytime, Emma solves a particular question. He tried to find the relative impact in physic and any relative field of study. Emma dabbled from one subject or topic to another.
He turned into a madman from reading. He would only give Zeus some command when he found a solution to a particular problem.
>>Strange… Many new neurons emerge from his hippocampus (long-term memory) and his prefrontal cortex (Intelligence and concentration… memory)… Strange… Strange… If this continues…
Lily couldn't fathom how the new neuron was developing. But she knew Emma was undergoing a kind of mutation. And what this means… Only time would tell.
Emma was working seriously on optics and acoustics physics. Electromagnetic radiation and geometry topics. The more Emma dabbles into this, the more his expression changes.
Some time from questioning to fascination. Then, to glee. He was no more reading. He had turned the reading into research. Emma was so lost in his study that he fails to hear Zeus's calls.
Suddenly, the desktop screen that Emma was working on shut down. Hmm! Emma woke from his research.
"What happens to my computer," Emma asked with a slight annoyance in his voice.
[Master. I have been calling for the past 20 minutes. Amanda is about to return home.] Zeus informed.
Hmm!
"How long have I been studying?"
[8 hours.]
"Oh!" Emma raised his brow. "Do you save my work?"
[Yes!]
"Get me the Elementor pen board." He twisted his lips. 'This will help me better in my research.'
[On it.]
Emma stressed his body and his frozen joints went back to their positions. 'Let hope it those not devastate Amanda beyond reasoning.'
"Get me a ride."
