Chapter 309: Armed and Dangerous
"I\'m afraid it can\'t be done yet." He saw the disappointed look in his eyes, he grabbed his hair and pulled it a little bit. "Give it a month, at most." He tried to comfort him.
Kiro walked over to him for a private conversation. He wasn\'t certain that it was a good idea to ask, but he slightly trusted the president. He seemed like a very impartial person, he didn\'t care about the politics of their world, he just wanted to create.
And the fact that Kiro\'s suggestion of giving a discount to the poor wasn\'t met with resistance instead he helped the idea bloom into something amazing.
"Say President Scott, don\'t you tinker with things that, you know, explode or are sharp?" He whispered attempting to ask in a very casual and playful way.
"That\'s a very peculiar thing to be into." He was an awkward man, but he still joked around sometimes.
This earned a chuckle from Kiro. He didn\'t know the President could be playful. He much preferred this side of him.
"Haha very funny. Well do you, have them?" He asked again not willing to let it go.
"Why do you want to explode things anyway?" Sighing deeply he asked unconcerned, turning off the the screen in the boardroom.
"Boys being boys?" His statement was in question form as he made a very weird innocent like face.
Just as they walked out the door and into the corridor, a girl was standing there. She had tanned skin, dark as night hair with pretty brown eyes.
"Misha! I told you to wait in my office when you arrive..." He was expecting an answer from her but realised he wouldn\'t. "Right."
"This is my daughter, Misha Scott. She\'s only a year younger than you lot. She\'s a little shy, doesn\'t speak when there are strangers nearby."
Even before the president introduced her, the resemblance to her father was uncanny. She was too young to be his sister, so they knew right away she must\'ve been his daughter. Kiro never took Jon Scott as a romantic, therefore never thought him to be married.
"Hello Misha, I\'m Kiro Waynworth I work with you father." He said from across the hall, he wanted to keep the distance she had put between them, he didn\'t want the girl to feel overwhelmed.
His friends also shouted their names from afar. She was quiet all throughout the introductions, but her eyes were still fixated on one person particular.
The girls eyes went wide when realisation struck her, as if she was seeing something she never expected to see. Her father never really mentioned it to her, she was more less dumbstruck.
Of course, like many her age, Kiro was a little known amongst them. So she couldn\'t quite believe she was meeting the boy that made headlines at least a couple of times.
And to make matters worse, her anxiety seemed to spike when she figured out who that was. She wanted to acquaint herself but at the same time, wished for the ground to crack open so she could hide.
\'Come on stupid mouth, move, say something, tell him you admire him.\' But nothing came out, instead her muddled raging thoughts reflected as a transfixed expression of shock and embarrassment.
"Okay, honey, you can wait up in my office. I\'ll be with my guests a little longer." He said attempting to usher her with his hands.
Although she couldn\'t exactly speak, she shook her hand vigorously. Hoping her dad would understand that she absolutely didn\'t want to go anywhere, other than follow them around.
He wasn\'t particularly a fan of letting his daughter be involved in the business side of things, but figured it would be alright since they were almost her age.
President Scott turned to his guests, "well then, shall we?" He lead the way.
He wasn\'t planning to turn the company into a large producer for weapons, he just loved creating things, even if it meant they wouldn\'t see the light of day.
"I call this the armoury, don\'t worry, I don\'t plan to release any of these things here." He opened the door and they were greeted with a very large pristine room.
It had all sorts of weapons, everything they\'d never seen, ones they\'d seen had been modified into other things. Kiro looked around, so did the others. He couldn\'t help but think that these would blow their cover wide open.
The weapons were large and conspicuous. They would be very hard to hide. They would only be good if they were going to the ring guns blazing, but they needed the lay of the land first before attacking.
"Aren\'t you afraid someone might break in and steal all those?" Nikolai couldn\'t help but voice his concern.
"Not really? This building is about to become the most secure in our world in the coming day. In any case, what I would be afraid about is the AI being stolen." He nonchalant answered.
"Well, are you?" Ishaan asked.
"Not in the slightest. Now, which weapon?"
"Aren\'t you even gonna ask why we want these?" Kiro was a bit taken aback, he\'d have lied to him, but he already cooked up a story.
"I could but then I\'d spend my days worrying. So I prefer I didn\'t."
\'What a strange, good man.\' He complimented internally.
Misha seemed to be in her element. She was more comfortable around guns, which made them question just how Jon Scott raised her.
"Do you have anything that won\'t draw attention? Something easily concealable?" Felix asked, not thinking they could take any of these.
"These aren\'t much but they\'re something."
They all turned surprised at the new voice. She couldn\'t keep eye contact with them but she was pointing at a far away table, they all gathered around it to see what she was talking about. Find exclusive stories on m_v l|e-NovelBin.net
There were many brilliant baton tasers. They were foldable, and could fit in the tiniest of pickets. Stretched out they were almost the same height as Kiro. They were also given all kinds of bombs.
Though they weren\'t ones that could turn a building into rabble. Just smoke, sonic and light bombs. They were the size of a nail.
"These, these will do."
