"Before i forgot, summoned 2,500 T-KL. I can't fully trust them because of human nature. Like what Captain Jack Sparrow said, a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly stupid"
"Buying…. Success. 2,500 T-KL, 37.5 million SP. 21,957,000 Remaining SP"
Right in front of me, 2,500 terminators were lined up. No one is moving at all, they were like mannequins.
Nyx who was observing the terminator, heard something tearing in the sky. It was a helicopter flying to his location
"Must be the president" Nyx murmured to himself as he watched the helicopter getting closer and closer to his spot.
"Wait for me in one of the hangars. Jarvis, while they were waiting, installed how to act like a human and installed how to manage and control a submarine."
"Roger sir" T-KL salutes before they move out. Once they were gone i his sight, that's also the time when the helicopter landed in the helipad near him
"Nyx! The hell?! Are you going to war or something? I thought you would fund the military, you didn't tell me you would make this island a fortress" he shouted
He excitedly exited the helicopter as he left his secretary and nurse behind. Once he was beside Nyx, he gave him a light tap on his shoulder
"Good to see you, Uncle. Looks like your job has become relaxing nowadays" i said
The other helicopter, which was following the presidential helicopter also landed. Like the president, they were rushing to come near the president
"Sir! What is this place?! So many military weapons! And they looked even more advanced than anything i ever saw," Army General Flores said like a kid
"Hey, Reyes! Look at those fighter jets! Damn, where is this place? If we could own this all, we won't worry about our territory safety at all" Navy General Cruz said as he couldn't believe what he was seeing
"Cruz. Those warships, if we could acquire some, would be good to guard the West Sea" Admiral of the Coast Guard Garcia
"Wait. We barely fly for an hour. I think we are still in the country. Mr President, where is this place? And who is this young man beside you?" Army General Santos asked
The president looked at them with great excitement. Army General Santos was the only four-star general in the military and was the chief of staff of the military while the other 4 was his vice admirals who has 3 stars.
They were so close to each other that they could call each other by their last name.
"Now, don't be too excited. Let me properly introduce you to who this young man is. I know that all of you are asking where I get all the funds to do all the things i did for the last 3 months, that was because of this young man.
He called me once to discuss the things he wanted to do for the country. I didn't believe him until he directly gave me 2 million metric tons of gold to be sold and used as funds.
Don't ask where he got that kind of money, all of us have secrets in life, and don't poke something that shouldn't be touched. Nyx was the creator of Null, and after they accomplished their mission, they began teaching those recruits.
As for where we are, we are still in the country, to be specific, in the west sea. Nyx 2 months ago, this young man requested that I move all the people living on the island. I was puzzled at first but i still did it because he guaranteed that this is for the country's interest. And so, here we are, a military base that far exceeds those in other countries
You the generals were more important people than I. If i die, i can be replaced easily while you, are the guardians of the people. I trusted you that's also the reason I informed you about him, you're the only people who know who he is.
I want you to respect him the way you show your respect to me. And if ever you doubt about why he's doing this, know this,
If ever he were a bad person and wanted to control the country, he could do so with how corrupt our government has been previously. If ever you have bad intentions, think again with the way Null operates, he will surely know about it before you even plan to make moves. I know you won't do it, but it's better to install those thoughts in you before it's too late"
The five generals kept quietly listening to what the president was saying. They were shocked to discover that all the things that were happening to the country were because of this man.
The more shocking was the Null. It was a group of unknown individuals who assassinated half of the corrupt politicians. Once they target something, they will die no question asked. No matter where you hide, you will die
They believe what the president said. But they still need to process it.
"Hello, generals. I want to make it clear to you, i do not want to control anything. I was just fulfilling what my mother wanted for the country. I also do not need your influence to get out of trouble. I will live an enjoyable life with my girlfriends and if you need something from me, say it. I will fulfil it if the benefit is to the country."
They all rooted in the same spot looking at the young man in front of them. They were all old but at the moment, they didn't know how to address him at all.
"Hello, Mr. Nyx. I knew the president had someone behind the scenes, but i didn't know that it would be as young as you"
General Santos was the first to say a word. He walked toward Nyx and tapped his shoulder like what the president does.
"Just call me Nyx. Too formal was not to my taste at all, Commander-in-Chief." Nyx said humbly
"If that's the case, call me uncle. I'm too old and even if I'm a general, you accomplish something that neither the president nor I can achieve in this life, no offense Mr. President" General Santos said
"None taken, Santos. What you said was true." The president smiled
"Hello, Nyx. Call me uncle also, I'm a 3-star general, i was the one in charge of the Navy" Genral Cruz also come closer and join
One by one they come along to greet Nyx.
"I have a suggestion. Since he was the one behind all this, at least we need him to hold some power…" Air Force General Reyes was about to suggest something when it got denied
"No thanks. I have no desire for a position in the country. I want to enjoy life, i don't need such a hassle in my life" Nyx immediately denied power
"Listen first Nyx. And this was just a suggestion first. Why not open a secret military position for him? He can summon or command anything but is not bound by our duty. He can freely do as he pleases and if something major happens, we can ask for your help. What do you think?"
"Brilliant idea. Nyx, you can't decline that offer. I know one of these ships you have is so advanced that you won't trust it with anyone just yet right?" The president persuaded Nyx to accept his offers
The other general also voiced out their opinion.
"I agree. But i don't want the public to know. I only help if it's an emergency. As for the equipment we have here, let's discuss it"
"Is this all for the country?" Chief Santos asked slowly. He didn't want to be disappointed but he was also having anticipation in his eyes
"Thats right. All of these are military to use"
"Damn! So that's the reason we are recruiting more military personnel. Because even if we have all these kinds of vehicles, we can't use them. We only have 150,000 active personnel" Army General Flores said
150,000 active and they are all scattered in different divisions. The majority was the army which numbered 100,000 while the Navy had 30,000 and 20,000 for the air force
40-50 need to operate 1 destroyer. Multiply it by 4,500, and that will be 225,000 marines. That was the destroyer only, not to mention the submarine, battleship, frigate, and amphibious
Fortunately or unfortunately, because of a lack of equipment, most of them were stationed on different islands to guard. They can be summoned and trained for new equipment and start using the military assets
"Thats right. That was also the reason why i started focusing on the military. Luckily, with an increase in salary, many applied and were willing to join the AFP. Previous service personnel need only one year before they begin their deployment, 2020 will be the surge of the country's military power. 1.4 million will be added" the president said.
"Uncle, how many military personnel will come later?" Nyx asked
"35,000 military personnel. 8,000 air force, 12,000 navy, 10,000 army, and 5,000 coast guard." General Santos said
"Good, there are 2,500 personnel here who will teach them for 4 months. Anything they need to learn and the things they need. I hope you also send those other generals for training. They needed to know how to operate those knew equipment. Here, this was the list of the capabilities of the weapon on the island"
i handed them the papers listing the capabilities of each of the advanced weaponry
They read the list and once they started, all their expressions became more and more shocked.
"Submarine capable of destroying anything in its path. Using the Arc Reactor as an energy source for laser weapons. This… no other country has these kinds of things"
"Mach 4-5. The fastest was Mach 3 but that was a risky flight because in the long run, the engine will be damaged."
"Nyx, as you said, we need training for all this new equipment. President, let all military personnel train here in batches. For those who were still training, we could make them train here. There are many barracks and millions of them can fit in. Big space to build a training ground"
"Good! The 35,000 military personnel will stay here for 4 months. Those recruits who are undergoing training, we will move them here slowly. Half of the officials will move here. Others will take over for the time being. After they were done training, send them back with the machinery to start their proper duty" the president said to the generals
They talk a lot before the 35.000 military arrive. After they were led to the hangar where the president discussed what they would be doing on the island
—
Nyx left them as he flew toward the island he now owns. It was big but empty full of trees but lonely.
"Megatron, build a small part of the island with a big villa with a helipad, golf course, and falls."
"1 million SP… beginning… success. 20,957,000 remaining SP"
Like the previous island, the same was happening in his own island but on a smaller scale. Trees were growing at an alarming pace, the hill near the shores was being made, and at the top was a big villa with a swimming pool. The house was bungalow-style, and at the shore was another villa but smaller, near it was the golf course with a waterfall at the back
"What a wonderful place. Yumi will like this very much." Nyx takes a picture of the island before flying away. He wanted to show this to Yumi and his friends
Jack and the others were busy studying while Nyx always had an excuse not to attend class.
It was already 6 pm, the sky was starting to get darker by every second when he arrived at his house.
He was not even inside when his phone rang. He picked it up and looked who was calling him, it was Ann
"Sup Ann, need something from me? Or you just miss me that much?"
"Both. Can you pick me up? My car is Coding, can't use it today"
"Okay. Where are you?"
"I'll send you the address. Drive safe okay? Love ya bye" and hang up the phone
I walked toward my car picked up the Ferrari and drove off toward the address Ann sent me. It didn't take long for me to arrive at the destination where Ann was. It was only a 15-minute drive and it became 5 when i was driving it
Far away, I saw Ann with one lady and two men talking to each other. Drove the car to where she is
—
"So, do you agree to our proposal?" one of the men asked. He was the one who wanted to hire Ann to be one of the girls in his music video
"I'm willing, but I'm working for 3 days only no body contact or whatsoever" Ann said making boundaries. Models like her always got inappropriate offers and being harassed was nothing new to her
"Good then. What about we have dinner tomorrow to finalize our deals? I can show you how the setup will work," said the man. Like any man, he wanted to have some fun with a beautiful lady especially Ann who was beautiful and had a nice body
"I would love to but my boyfriend wasn't fond of me having meetings with a man alone, I'm sorry" Ann rejected respectfully, afraid that she would blow away this work
"Oh, you have a boyfriend? I didn't know that. Anyway, he wouldn't know, it will be a secret between us" he kept insisting, he wanted her more knowing that she was in a relationship
"No. Sorry, I had to reject the offer. If you don't need me anymore, i would like to take my leave" Ann tried to still act professional even though she was uncomfortable
Her friends who were also with her agree that they need to leave making the man reluctantly agree but still insist on sending them off
Ann finally agrees. She excused herself first to the restroom, and there he called Nyx
Once she left the restroom, she saw her friend and the man who had hired her waiting for her. The man named Alvin, is a well-known rapper in the country. He was with his manager
While Alvin was talking to Ann earlier, his manager accompanied her friends
"So where's your car?" Alvin asked
"She picked me up earlier but she has another appointment and it was opposite to where i live that's why I'm waiting. You can return no, I'm okay here" Ann said
"Why don't i just send you off? My car was over there. I just bought it, let's go?" he said and clicked his remote key. It was a challenger
Ann looked at it and thought to herself 'My car is more impressive than yours! If it wasn't coding I wouldn't even bother chatting
