The Ancient Genes

Bang!

The door of the passageway slammed open which alerted the several guards in the vicinity.

The guards raised their guns aiming at that newcomer.

"Raise your hand." One of the guards spoke to the guy.

The newcomer who looked to have an average built was none other than Axle.

"I have been sent here to deliver this prisoner." Axle spoke calmly as he finally walked out of the door while dragging a girl by her hairs.

Seeing the girl, the guard couldn't help but swallow his saliva. But, he still didn't dare to do anything because this girl was being Captured on that Man's order.

"Fine, go straight ahead and take a left turn around a corner and then a right turn. There you will find the storage room. Remember to properly tie her up before leaving."

Axle gave him a nod and started walking. As soon as he passed the guy, a smile stretched out on his face.

"Wait." But, suddenly one of the guards with a blade on his waist stopped them.

"Why haven't we gotten any information about a new prisoner?" As he spoke, all the guards' gaze became intense.

And Axle felt his back starting to sweat.

"How would I know that, I am just a newcomer. I was asked by Fox to deliver this prison." Axle spoke feigning his ignorance at the matter.

"Oh...it's Fox. Go ahead then." The guard who spoke at the very beginning, spoke once again.

Axle turned around and let out a sigh of relief before continuing to drag the girl.

"Are you sure about letting them go?" One of the guards spoke as Axle's silhouette disappeared around the corner.

"Ha...ha... Don't you get it Fox is trying to impress Master Greed by gifting her that girl."

Hearing him, all the guards realised the situation and broke out into laughter.

"Besides, do you think it is even possible for a guy with hostile intentions to infiltrate this place." That guy spoke further with a scornful look in his eyes towards the guy who tried to stop them earlier.

It looked like they were not the best buddies.

"I will still check it though. I will leave the building to go to the reception." With that, the guard with a blade left the corridor after entering the passageway under the disdainful look of others.

...

On the other side, Axle kept dragging the girl through two more checkpoints before they arrived at the corner around the storage room.

"Max, I think I saw the sign of the I.T. room while turning around the corner. I am going to correct my own mistakes, while you make sure to rescue the girls." Axle spoke with a determined tone to the girl, lying on the ground as her appearance started to change.

The bulge on her chest started to deflate and her hair started to get darker along with her skin losing the shine.

Ultimately, the girl took the appearance of an average looking guy with average built and black hairs.

That guy was Max.

Max got up and dirted off his clothes before turning around and speaking.

"Meet me here in 5 minutes, I will take a look at the girls in that time. We still have to look for the formation." Max spoke with an air of seriousness around him.

Axle gave him a nod before disappearing from his spot.

Seeing him leave, Max too started to walk towards the storage room when his eyes fell on the tray cart with food beside the door.

"Ahhhh!!"

Suddenly, a girl's scream entered his ears.
