Chapter 438: Shock, Results
Facing everyone looking at her, Isabella did not feel pressured in the slightest. Instead, she just smiled and said, "There is no need to worry. You can wait until the president is here. After that, you will get to know the results."
Of course, that response was not what this group was waiting for. They were all anticipating to know what had happened.
For the past few years, they had been under tremendous pressure. With the confirmation of the fact that high level mutants had appeared in the forces that were against the alliance, they could not relax in the slightest.
Considering that they had always been suppressing the other side, it was clear that very soon, they would act. And with them having much stronger mutants than them, it was to be expected that they would end up being defeated.
As for what waited for them later on, they clearly understood. After all, the two sides were not on good terms. In fact, they had been killing each other for quite a while now.
Gordon, the muscular guy and a balding head snorted as he said, "Hmph! What is all this nonsense with the suspense? If you succeeded, then let us know. If not, just f*cking say it out loud.
It is not as if by waiting for the president to arrive will change anything. The results will still be the same."
Isabella completely ignored Gordon, as if he had not been talking to her. And as expected, as a person with a bad temper, Gordon was not pleased in the slightest with Isabella’s reaction.
He wanted to stand up and start scolding her, when suddenly, there was the sound of the doors of the conference from opening. Immediately, the rage that had been building inside him completely cooled down.
Everyone looked over, realizing that Amanda, the president of this alliance, had arrived. Just like the previous time, she was dressed in an official attire.
Her presence immediately overshadowed everyone else inside the conference room. Even looking at the expressions of the people inside the conference room, it would be easy to tell how much they respected her.
Amanda did not say anything, as she went ahead and sat at the head of the conference table. Thereafter, she looked at Isabella, and nodded.
Immediately, Isabella took out her handbag, before she took out something that immediately left everyone in the conference room shocked, while some of them were immediately outraged.
"Isabella! What do you think you are doing? Are you trying to sabotage us?" Linda was the first to speak out.
And immediately after, the others followed...
"You know the rules! But now, you are blatantly breaking them? Don’t tell me that you have already joined them?"
"Are you trying to become a traitor? Are you looking forward so much to the end of the world? Maybe, have you watched so many movies and series about the Apocalypse that you cannot wait to experience it yourself?"
Just as they were about to continue questioning her, with even Brown, standing up and intending to head towards Isabella and take action, a calm voice rang out in the room.
"Silence, please. We are here for a meeting, not in a street market." Amanda said in a low voice.
Despite not speaking out loud, everyone clearly heard her. After all, they had always been paying attention to her. Therefore, the moment that they heard her speaking, everyone immediately shut up.
Then, despite the many questions and the anger that they had, they all returned to their seats. This time, some of them glared at Isabella, while a few of them looked at Amanda, puzzled.
In normal situations, if someone broke the rules of the alliance, the consequences would be immediate. But now, Amanda was allowing Isabella to continue breaking the rules?
Amanda did not bother to explain. Instead, she looked at Isabella, indicating that she could continue.
With a tablet in her hand, Isabella began scrolling. Clearly, she did not care much about what the others had just said to her. To her, all of that was just noise, and it could not affect her in the slightest.
"According to the data that I have managed to compile, I realized that the quality of those mutations serums is not something that we can replicate.
Even though I did not have much time, within the short few days that I got the mutation serums, I managed to do some basic research on them.
Good thing that we were also given the method of production. Still, I realized that we cannot fully replicate the mutation serum.
In terms of quality, the mutation serums that we produce are a notch below. Because of this, the mutants that are born through these mutation serums are bound to be weaker as compared to those born from the original one.
One thing though, I believe that the difference will not be that big. In case two people with the same abilities begin to fight, with one from each side, the other person will definitely have an advantage, but will not be able to fully dominate the one from the mutation serum that we produced." Isabella spoke and in the next moment, under the astonished gazes of the crowd, a screen was projected from the tablet that she was holding.
The projection was tangible, somehow, because Isabella was scrolling through the projection. And at this point, she had already placed the tablet on top of the table.
First, she expanded the screen, making sure that it could be seen by everyone clearly. After that, she began scrolling through the data that was shown on the screen, as she continued speaking.
Despite the many questions that most of those in the conference room had, they did not ask. For now, the focus was on the mutation serum.
According to Isabella, the one who had invented this mutation serum was a genius. There were no any side effects, and each mutation serum could be labeled for a specific type of ability.
This was completely different to the current mutation serums that they could produce. After all, the ability that a person awakened after taking the mutation serum was random.
And more than that, there was a possibility of death. And even if the mutation was successful, there was a possibility of the mutation having no advantage at all. Instead of awakening an ability, someone might end up with physical mutation, maybe having a longer arm, or bigger ears.
As she continued revealing the information, at least what she had obtained in the past few days of studying the mutation serum that had been brought over, she left everyone shocked.
Even Amanda, who usually had a calm expression on her face, this time, she showed a change. She was also clearly not expecting such a result.
Finally, after Isabella concluded, there was quite an extended moment of silence as everyone contemplated on the information. It was shocking to them, that they found it hard to believe.
But they understood Isabella. She was not the type to lie about the research that she had done. Additionally, in this meeting, there was no need to lie. After all, if she lied, and she could not present the results that she claimed, she would have to face the punishment.
"Okay, let me start by mentioning why Isabella has the tablet with her. According to the rules, no electronics are allowed within this area, not just the conference room.
But, the tablet that she has, it is way more advanced. According to what I know, it is impossible to be able to detect it here, no matter what methods are used.
This is something special that was prepared for the alliance, so, there is no need to worry about such a tablet appearing somewhere else." Isabella looked at the group sitting around the conference table before she spoke.
Her words made everyone finally understand. But at the same time, they looked at Jamie, wondering if he had also made a breakthrough. After all, from their understanding, unless he was keeping a secret, he had yet to reach the level of producing something like this.
Jamie also noticed the gazes that he was receiving. His lips twitched slightly, but he shook his head, immediately making everyone understand that this was not his doing.
But that left everyone in the room, apart from Isabella, Amanda and Stewart, completely flabbergasted.
"If you are not the one, then did this device just pop up from nowhere? Don’t tell me, just like the meteors, it fell from outer space?" Francis, a guy with a scrawny frame, brown hair and green eyes asked with a frown.
Jamie did not say anything, as Amanda continued speaking, "For the details, you will ask Stewart about it. But for now, I hope that we all focus on one thing, that is the results that we have gotten on the mutation serum samples that we were given.
What are your suggestions on this matter? Should we immediately start using the mutation serums that we can produce after replicating the samples, or should we try and improve them, so that they can be on the same level as the sample?"
Everyone fell into a moment of contemplation, deeply thinking about it. This was a serious matter.
Eventually, Christopher, the director of the global intelligence coordination agency spoke first. "President, I believe that first of all, we should have a few people take the mutation serum. After all, we still have something that needs to be dealt with first, as soon as possible. We cannot afford to wait."
