Chapter 118: Ready to Fight?
"Aiden, answer me honestly—have you awakened some talent that can read people's minds?"
Aiden, hearing her suspicion, can guess why she thinks that way. The only reason he knows she has recovered is because he used his King's Eyes ability, but he can't tell her that for now, so he answers honestly.
"No, big sis, I don't have any talent like that, but I just knew you would try to stay here while hugging me as long as you can."
Alicia, hearing him, could tell he was not lying to her, so she released a sigh of relief if that had even happened she wouldn't know what she would have done.
"But big sis, we have to see what is going on outside, so can you get off me for now?"
He moved his lips closer to her and whispered in her ear,
"We can do whatever we want at night."
Alicia, hearing his whisper, felt excited just thinking about the night to come, so she said in a cheerful voice while getting out of his embrace,
"Okay!!"
Everyone watching until now has already accepted that these two immoral siblings are together, and all the doubts they had earlier have cleared up now. They can't listen to what they are whispering to each other, but they know it's not something they would like to hear.
Meanwhile, Ava felt a little disappointed that she wasn't able to hear the juicy conversation between these immoral siblings.
Now, Aiden is finally ready to go to the surveillance room with all of them, as he doesn't think anyone other than his sister would be able to use their talents to fight. So the best option is to use the modern weapons he has, as that would be the best option for now.
The surveillance room is on the way to their weaponry, so he decides to pick up swords for himself and his sister, or if anyone in the group knows how to use swords, he will give them one.
He selected the best weapons that suited everyone, as he did earlier, and he picked the AR rifle that could be used in any situation.
Everyone followed behind Aiden as he led them toward the weaponry once again, but they didn't say anything as they only had to follow orders, with M16 rifles in their hands, wearing black metallic armor on their bodies.
Reaching inside the weaponry the same way as previously, by opening the door using his fingerprint and iris scan, he took out two black boxes with an eager expression on his face, as these were the swords he and his sister were going to use.
He has only two swords made of this material, which he doesn't think he'll ever have to change, as they are made of the best carbon nanotubes he could find on the planet.
And for an expensive material like carbon nanotubes, it is definitely worth the price because the swords are more than 100 times stronger than steel swords, which is why he doesn't think anything could break his swords.
Seeing him taking out these boxes with an excited expression on his face, Alicia knew what was inside the boxes, as he had asked her to test many swords and asked about which design she would prefer for her sword.
She knows these are very expensive for just swords, but knowing what they are capable of, she knows they are definitely worth it. She also started to become a little suspicious of her little brother, as it looked to her like he already knew something like this was going to happen.
So it started to make sense to her now why he is crazy about getting stronger and buying all these crazy weapons.
However, she decided not to say anything for now, as he would have also known she would be suspicious after these magical things happened. But since he hadn't told her himself, there must be a reason for it, so she decided to keep quiet and wait for the day when he would tell her himself.
Aiden quickly opened the boxes, which revealed one double-edged sword in a black scabbard with golden patterns on it, matching the design of his armor.
The sword looked amazing inside the body just by looking at the sword anyone could tell it was a great sword, as it resembled a sword from cultivation novels. It is not wide and can be used with one hand by Aiden.
First, he tried to use a katana however after time he found out he liked the sword which is sharp on both sides as it was much easier for him to use so he preferred a double-edged sword.
He carefully picked up the sword and put it on the strap on his waist, then followed and opened the next box, which was exactly the same, but the only difference was that the sword was a little smaller in height and thinner than the previous one, made to perfectly fit Alicia. The design was identical to his sword, as she had told him to.
He carefully gave the sword to his sister, and she also put the sword around the strap on her waist.
After they were done picking up the swords, he asked if anyone else wanted to pick a weapon or change the gun they were currently holding. He gave them full permission to pick whatever they wanted.
Ten minutes had passed, and everyone was ready to go after picking up their weapons, except for Isla, who had picked a black katana made out of low-grade carbon nanotubes. These swords were of much lower quality than what Aiden was holding, but they were still more than 10 times stronger than steel.
No one else picked cold weapons, except for a long knife made out of the same material as Isla's sword. Two of the women changed their guns to snipers, and mostly everyone was carrying the same M16 automatic rifles, with two handguns strapped to their bodies.
They also had backpacks filled with a hefty amount of ammo to use, and last but not least, all of them had at least five grenades on their bodies.
Seeing how properly they had loaded themselves with weapons, Aiden now felt barehanded compared to them.
So, copying them, he also decided to take five grenades and two handguns like them and gave the same things to his sister, thinking to himself, attaching one gun to his empty waist and another one across his arms attached to a strap.
'Wow, it really looks like we are going to war or something, especially seeing the fierce expressions on their faces right after they equipped all these weapons.'
And now the aura they were releasing from their bodies looked deadly to Aiden.
'Phew! It's good I decided to take them before the evolution; they will be helpful until I become strong enough to not care about anything.'
And he knew it was only a matter of time with his ability to copy talents.
All the women, after picking up their weapons, stood in front of Aiden in a straight column and saluted him loudly, once again forgetting about their previous orders, as their blood was boiling after getting these high-quality weapons, and now everyone was ready to fight battles.
And knowing how the strange things were happening, as their leader had mentioned, they were going to check the situation outside.
Even if they had not played games or read comics, they knew enough after listening to the Ancient Voice, which is the absolute truth for them, that the world outside had changed, and now they had to fight to live.
And become stronger with magic to shed their mortal shells.
