Getting A System In A Modern World

48  Black Hand(II)

After giving LUNAR instructions on what to do, he decided to rest until when LUNAR was done.

"I have nothing else to do but to wait for LUNAR to get me all the necessary information. I wonder if Mr Brandon has any progress on his side?

I want to complete the system mission as soon as possible as it's taking too long already. I also want to see what the next chain mission is," Silas said to himself.

If it weren't for the fact that Mr Rendall had informed him that the next batch of buildings would be ready in two weeks to a month's time, he would have called Mr Brandon immediately to ask about the progress.

Silas was still thinking about the mission and other things, when he felt a vibration from the smartwatch.

"Yes, LUNAR?"

{Sir, all the tasks have been completed and I have also received a response from one of the countries in charge of one the islands.}

"Ohh... Tell me, which country is that?"

{Venezuela, sir.}

"Ohh... I see. What did they say? Any condition?"

{The content of the email I received states that they can only consider the deal after having a physical meeting with us.}

"Mmm... Did they set the time and location?"

{No, sir, they said it would be set when you're ready.}

"Ok, tell them that they can set the time for the meeting for this week or the next. I have more than enough time to spare."

Silas already knew that either of the South American countries would take the offer, and Venezuela being the first isn't surprising with their current economic situation.

{Ok, I will do that immediately.}

"So, what about other things? Bring me up to speed with the information you have gathered," Silas said.

{Regarding the information on the organization, Black Hand. The known information about the organization is very limited and it's unknown who created it or when it was created. Even the identity of his members is unknown.

From the little information that was gathered, the organization has a long history dating back to more than 50 years and their influence around the world is immeasurable.

Their influence spreads to every political and extremely affluent places, even the White House isn't spared.}

Silas closed his eyes briefly and sighed, as he tried to understand what LUNAR just said.

'An organization that has high ranking government officials in their midst! How did they get so much power and influence?!'

'Not only government officials but almost all the very influential individuals in the world are its members!'

Well, it's to be expected as it's an organization that has existed for more than five decades. If their influence and power didn't grow over the years of its creation, then it would be laughable.

Silas felt a headache coming on. He felt that Mr Williams was right when he said that they should forget about the case.

Yes, from the information he got, Mr Lucas is only just an acquaintance with a member of the organization, and not a close friend or a member himself. But Silas was still having this slight tugging feeling telling him that something is wrong.

"LUNAR, what about Mr Lucas' acquaintance? Do you have any information on him?"

{His name is Armando Silva. He's one of the wealthiest people in Spain and the Chairman of Skyline Horizon Construction.

I tried to get more information on him but it looks like anymore of his information except those already known to the public, doesn't exist.

Also, due to how complicated the hierarchy structure of the organization is, I find it to determine his exact position in the organization.}

"Sigh" Silas could only sigh and massage his temple after he heard the information that LUNAR was able to gather on Mr Lucas' acquaintance. Honestly, it feels like he didn't get any information from her.

Except the information of the man that's already known to the public, she wasn't able to get anything else.

Though, he felt it should plausible with the organization's current level of influence. As an organization that has been around for more than five decades, hiding the information of their members is something that's very easy to accomplish for them.

'A world-infamous organization.'

"LUNAR, any new information?"

{Yes sir.}

"Ok, let me hear it."

{The organization has a connection to a US government top secret organization, name, Bureau of Extraordinary Management (BEM)

13:51

Just like the Black Hand organization, there's not much information about them. The only thing I was able to get is that the organization has a role of tracking, recruiting and documenting Phenomenals both in the US and around the world.}

"Is that all?"

{Yes, sir. I will continue to gather more information about the two organizations and let you know when I have something new.}

"Thank you, LUNAR."

Silas felt that things were going to get very troublesome if he actually goes ahead with his plan to mess with Lucas, but should he stop just because he faced his first ever roadblock?

Actually he didn't want to but from the information that LUNAR gave him, Silas knew that things won't be as easy as he thought.

But Silas felt that things weren't that bad yet. Since Daniel's father isn't actually a member of the Black Hand organization, then he could still go ahead with his plans but he's going to have to change it a little.

'Since it's an organization that's involved with Phenomenals, then I guess it won't be long before I meet others like me. I wonder how strong other Phenomenals are.'

"LUNAR, what information did you get after hacking into the US government intelligence systems?"

{The only new thing is the secret government organization I mentioned earlier. Apart from that, there's nothing else.}

"So, no new technological advancement or modification of humans to create superhumans? Alien encounter or anything supernatural?," Silas asked curiously.

{Nothing new, sir. The other things are still theoretical or under research with no possible breakthrough in sight.}

"Information on the US government, check. Trojan creation and planting, check, Island, check. What about the website?"

{Already done.}

"Ohh... Let me see. Open the website on my laptop," Silas said as he switched on his laptop.

After coming back home from creating the quantum computer, Silas has changed the laptop's location from the library to his room.

After the laptop powered on, it was controlled by LUNAR and the website opened, allowing Silas to start going through it.

The website interface looked beautiful and very easy to navigate but it was still mostly blank with little to no information except for an image that says 'Use ELLA', and a single sentence that says 'Anything you can imagine, ELLA can create!'

Silas nodded in approval when he saw this.

'Neat.'

Silas understood that the reason why the page was blank was because he didn't tell LUNAR what to write on the website. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Silas wants to start a business but he doesn't have anything to sell, but now that ELLA is about to go live, it's time to start thinking of everything related to it.

But first, he needs to make sure his product can compete with other products already in the market.

Silas clicked on the 'Use ELLA' image and he was taken to another page that looks similar to the top AIs' chat page, with a voice message button, an image and file attachment button. It also has a section for image creation.

Silas started typing and testing, and it took him a few minutes before he was done.

Everything was perfect and just as he wanted it. LUNAR has taken everything from the popular AIs and incorporated them into ELLA and true to the sentence, 'Anything you can imagine, ELLA can create'.

With the help of LUNAR's huge data reserve and the quantum computer's massive computing power, ELLA can even create any app, software and even a program on the spot.

She can also create perfect images. Also, ELLA can be used by users to create their own chat bots

Sila nodded in approval when he saw this.

"This is good, LUNAR. I want you to place the advanced abilities of hers behind a paywall. Things that can be used for free are general chat with real-time information and image creation.

The image creation will have a fixed quota on it, not more than twenty quotas. They can set it to the number of images that can be created, each image is a quota.

Unlimited quota for image generation and other services, and high priority, these are things that only our premium users will have access to."

{I will do that sir. Would like to change the name or just call it ELLA.}

"Leave it as ELLA."

{What about the company's name?}

"Mmm... I've never really thought of a name for the business. My naming sense is bad, let me think....."

"What about QURT Technology?... Sounds cool right?.."

Lunar: {....}

System: [....]

'Is it that bad?' Silas asked himself when he saw LUNAR being silent and the system message that appeared in front of him.

{Good name, sir.}

"Then why were you silent? I thought it was something bad."

{It's nothing important, sir.}

"Yeah, yeah... Do that and also, put the information that we are hiring on the website. I will give you the related information later."

'The next thing to do now is to meet with the people from Venezuela, buy the island and I will have my own base.'
