The Conspiracy of the Elites

Chapter 361: mechs

Clark didnt get to leave immediately after his conversation with the Calibri couple came to an end. Mr. Calibri first expressed apology for his inability to accompany him further.

But Mrs. Calibri was the exact opposite, she first asked him if he was in any rush. When he said no, he politely invited him to share lunch and also for a not too tedious tour.

Do you have any food preferences? She asked gently with an even more gentle smile on her face.

No, Ill take anything. Clark felt a little embarrassed being showered with so much attention and care, this was a situation that he was not used to.

Ok, Ill let my chef prepare the best food for you. Smiling even broader, she started leading him out of her husbands office.

As she walked, she suddenly brought up her ring to her face. I want lunch to be ready in 5 minutes, I have a guest.

Yes, madam.

Seeing what she just did, Clark directed a curious glance at the beautiful ring that adorned her fingers. He knew that it had a myriad of uses, its design was too complicated for it to just be a communication device.

He didnt have any fantasies of trying to get it for himself though. After seeing the estate belonging to this couple, he was wise enough to not measure himself in the same level as them.

No matter how rich he was currently, he still couldnt raise a candle to this billionaire couple. Probably intending to ease the atmosphere between them, the middle-aged woman finally spoke again.

How much do you know about Sonia?

She smiled on seeing the embarrassed expression on his face. I just want to know how you interacted with her. Sonia was an introvert when she lived with us, so I want to know if she changed.

Oh, about that. Clark coughed. Because of the situation that I found myself in, I didnt have much of a chance to interact extensively with her.

Most of my interactions with her were during when we were both in the Mocan republic. It was during then that we first encountered each other also.

Thats really fairytale-like; tell me more. She turned to look at Clark with an amused expression on her face, her smile already widening her lips to the sides.

As they walked, Morales organized his thoughts before opening his mouth to speak again. He finally started giving an elaborate description of how he met Sonia and the way they interacted after getting attracted to each other.

He first felt awkward saying it, but maybe because of the gentle temperament shown by the lady, or even because he was just interested in matters related to Sonia, he started a long story.

By the time that he finished, 7 minutes already passed and they were in the mansions dining hall. As soon as they sat down, a group of girls dressed in white clothes entered the hall and placed down the already prepared food.

The dining hall was one befitting the prestige of a billionaire. The dining table was super long, stretching for as long as the whole hall, and luxurious chairs were arranged around it.

Taking the first bite of the local specialty food that hes not tasted before; Clark almost smacked his lips to better savor the myriad of flavors that flooded his tongue.

He couldnt exactly qualify it as the best food that hes ever eaten, but he had to give Mrs. Calibri some credits because the food was freakishly delicious.

He suddenly felt guilty getting to enjoy all this in the absence of his student.

Ill make it up to him. He promised inwardly.

It seemed that the woman really wanted to forge a good early relationship with him. As soon as they finished eating, she proposed another plan for the both of them to kill time.

Sonia was the only military enthusiast in our family, while Daniel was just like her father. I think she became an introvert because of her inclinations that were strange to the other members of the family.

Because of this, she built a military fortress for herself inside this mansion after repeatedly nagging her dad for it. Do you want to see it?

A military fortress?

Clark didnt hesitate before giving his consent. Of all the things in this world, a military fortress that was personally made by his girlfriend was a thing that would definitely attract his attention.

As soon as she got his consent, the lady revealed an even more beautiful smile on her face before standing up to lead Clark away.

They walked to the middle of the mansion. After getting there, Mrs. Calibri activated a mechanism that made the floor slide open to reveal a staircase leading downwards.

When they got to the bottom, they came before a sturdy door that stood there heavily like a slumbering beast.

Seeing this, Clark sucked in a deep breath. He was not an expert when it came to exotic metals and alloys, but he knew from a glance that this was a reinforced door stacked with exotic metals.

Shes really a mischievous girl. Mrs. Calibri suddenly commented.

None of us in the family could get the password that she set, her father had to bring a virtual expert to hack the virtual security mechanism.

As she said this, she said the password which made the heavy door start opening while making creaking sounds.

As it opened, lights lit up to illuminate the whole place. When Clark entered inside and took a good look at the military fortress, he grew dizzy immediately as he felt like he was dreaming.

The sheer size of the fortress alone left him wondering. How the hell was a little Sonia able to coordinate this city-like fortress?

The fortress stretched as far as his eyes could see. Machines, robots, weapons, both cold and hot, ammunitions, mechs, lots of them filled his vision that Clark could only open his mouth in amazement.

Wait, mechs! Clarks eyes widened as his brain immediately clicked.

For the rest parts of the tour around the fortress, he just accompanied the lady while occasionally giving out inputs but all his attention was how to get access to any of the mechs.

Thinking hard but finding no solution, he finally thickened his skin to ask.

Please, ma, can I access one of the mechs?

She was surprised at first before coming to a realization. Oh! If you want it, you can just take it. Im sure Sonia will understand.

Clark did not stand on ceremony. Thank you, ma.
