Chapter 14: Chief Head of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, Yamamoto Satoru
He was completely flabbergasted and taken aback when Xin mentioned about the other parts. He already had a hunch that Xin could complete the seven parts that he was having trouble dealing with.
But when he mentioned the other parts, he was completely taken aback, because it was known to very few people that the entire program has been divided into three blocks. And has been given to three different companies.
The room became silent, no one was opening their mouth and taking the initiative to break the silence. Only the sound of the server fans was audible in that room.
Xin realized he messed up their convo and created a block between them. Now that he thinks in the past, it was known to very few high-ranking officials that the program had been divided into three blocks and was given to three different companies.
To make up for the blunder that he made this time, he broke the ice and added, "Mr. Nen, have you started writing the other parts or you will start soon? This one is the first block, I guess."
Hearing his question, Nen became sure that Xin didn't know about the distribution of the main program and was about to tell him something when the semi-automatic electric door of the room opened and four people entered the room.
Xin recognized one out of those four persons in a black suit. If he was not wrong, it was the Chief Head of the Japanese Self-Defence Forces, and his name was Yamamoto Satoru, a character from the magical world.
And from the rest of the three, he had met that girl named Natasha and the head of the bodyguard only once. The last person with a full sleeve blue shirt, he was not aware of his identity, nor was he bothered to know about it.
"Youuu…." Shouted Natasha in anger. Before she uttered something else, the bodyguard behind her went near Xin and grabbed his hand with a crying face.
"My saviour, I finally met you again!!"
Nen "…"
Natasha "…"
Yamamoto "…"
Unknown side character "…"
"Ah, yes, Mr. Head Bodyguard?!"
"Yes, yes. I am the head of the bodyguard team. My name is Hasegawa Ichirou."
"Oh~~"
"Yes, and thanks again for saving my life. I had already lost my hope back then."
Excluding Xin and Natasha, everyone had a puzzled expression on their faces. Since Nen was the one who had assigned Ichirou for Natasha, he broke the silence first and asked out what happened and why was he thanking Xin with a crying face.
Ichirou released Xin's hand and began to narrate the entire incident. How Natasha was doing some shopping in a shopping mall and how a burglar snatched her bag and ran away. He and his other mates chased after the thief and tried to catch him, but they were unable to do so.
On the way, the burglar bumped with Xin and stole his purse too. And that was the time when they surrounded him, thinking he was the thief as they both were wearing the same color hoodies.
Natasha couldn't resist her urge to interfere and jumped in between Ichirou's narration.
"And bro, his teammates are dumb enough that even after pointing out that the person they had surrounded was just a passer-by and the real burglar had already fled, they kept on staring at me, instead of going after him."
"Cough," Ichirou intervened and narrated the rest of the story from there, of how they followed the burglar to an empty factory, how they were firing at them from darkness, and how Xin snapped everyone's neck, making them unconscious.
Hearing all this, Nen and Yamamoto had one question in mind and both of them asked it out at the same time.
"Why the hell did you go after that burglar? Even after knowing they were using guns, and the bodyguards were getting wounded from them."
"Because that purse has my 120 Gb Smax129 premium model, limited edition pen drive that I didn't want to lose."
Nen "…"
Natasha "…"
Yamamoto "…"
Unknown side character "…"
Once again they became dumbfounded by his answer. The person before them went after the burglar, even after seeing the bodyguards were getting defeated because he wanted to retrieve his special edition pen drive!!
Yamamoto and Nen began to laugh at this and thought Xin was a pure tech-lover by heart.
After listening to the bodyguard's head, the entire story of how Xin defeated the armed burglar, Yamamoto and Nen became interested in him.
For Nen, he took an interest in him because Xin was already a good programmer, and he could clearly feel the unfathomable potential in him. And for Yamamoto, he was interested because fighting armed burglars was not a small thing that anybody can do, and right at that time, they were standing on the 8th floor's main server room. Where Nen had set up all the important servers in addition to his self-designed supercomputer. Only a few were allowed to come inside that room.
While Yamamoto was having a close look at Xin, the unknown side character standing on the side from the past two minutes spoke out his first dialogue, "Huh, dad, if I am not wrong this one is Project SEDS presentation file?"
Upon hearing the name, all of their laughs and talks abruptly came to an end and the room suddenly became quiet.
Everyone in the room was looking at Sen with amazement, while Xin was looking at Nen with bewilderment.
"Lad, who is this person? Care to explain?" Yamamoto questioned.
Before Nen replied to his question, he took out the remote from his pocket first and closed the door of the room with a ten minutes permanent close feature.
Observing Nen was making the talk secretive and confidential, Natasha became curious about who was that person? And what was his identity? Earlier she was somewhat furious at him. As Xin rudely replied to him and didn't answer his questions. But after he knocked down the burglar and making his way to her brother's main server room, where only high-ranking officials were allowed to enter, she became somewhat interested.
"Everyone, let me introduce this talented individual. His name is Xin. Xin Karlos."
Nen hadn't even finished his introduction and was going to add something when the person in full sleeve came forward and asked, "Mr. Xin graduated from which university? I was reading at Howard University till last year and have never seen you there. Must be from Oxford, I think."
"No," Xin answered with a single word.
"Then Cambridge, I am sure of it now."
