Chapter 9: Chapter 2
2080, Japan, Sparrow Group headquarters...
At the highest part of this building there sat a woman with a short hair, curvaceous figure, a face that could launch a thousand ships, and a simple blue eyes.
She's currently signing documents that concerns the supplies distribution on each country. The Sparrow Group has almost total monopoly on the anti-superhuman and anti villains equipment in the whole world. They're the go-to company of nations that wants to habe reliable and tested anti-superhuman equipments.
This woman is of course Leigh, well she has a new name now. Her new name is Zyril Leigh Sparrow. The plan of creating Zero an organic body originally stemmed out of the plan where Gerald will create his own girlfriend to avoid socializing and going on dates with people he can't trust.
Zyril was currently the girlfriend of Gerald, though not officially but they're dating at least so it should lead to that. She was also the stepsister of Gerald as she's took in to the family by Gerald himself. Since then, she's been given the position of chairman by Gerald and left her to deal with paperwork while Gerald dealt with some other stuff.
Just then, the assistant of Zyril came inside with a folder at her hand as she placed the folder on the table and spoke.
"Miss Zyril, Sir Gerald has came to see you. He's on the lounge currently waiting for you." reported the assistant who's clearly someone who has a superpower of some sort as evident from her rather unusual appearance. Zyril just nodded and picked up the folder the assistant had placed on her table and started to read the contents.
The assistant has been working here for quite sometime already so she knows what her boss's actions means. A nod may mean either understood, send the visitor in, or I'll go there myself after I'm done with the work just keep the visitor entertained. Everything depends on the context of the event. For this, she'll have to entertain the visitor first as the visitor is the sole owner of the whole group she's working for.
"Understood..."

Lounge on the Sparrow Group headquarters...
Gerald was sitting on a couch comfortably with a glass of champagne on his right hand as he waited for Zyril to finish her work and come see him.
He has came here to talk to Zyril about the increasing friction with a man named All for One. He can't have someone sticking their noses where it shouldn't belong. Though he admits that All for One was an interesting piece of human. He's thinking that he might be a Machiavellian like him.
He looks forward to the time where he'll have a long talk with the man.
Just then, the assistant of Zyril came inside as she walked near Gerald and spoke.
"Madame Zyril still has some work to do sir. I'm tasked to accompany you and keep you entertained while she finishes her work." said the assistant who sat on the couch across Gerald.
"Is that so? I see..." Gerald nodded slightly as he drank the remaining champagne in one gulp and settled the glass gently on the table.
An awkward silence just engulfed the two as the assistant was the one who's absolutely feeling it. She's basically face to face with the owner of the Sparrow Group. She can't possibly fuck this up. The destiny has presented an opportunity for her to climb if she can catch the eye of the man in front of her.
Gerald read the room like an open book as he chuckled on his mind. He predicted that either this woman in his opposite end was shy to talk to him or afraid to talk to him. So, he decided to strike a conversation with her.
"Hmm, you're new here? I don't think I've seen you before." said Gerald as he striked his most handsome smile. The words of Gerald was of course false, he knows everyone inside the building. He knows their whole background, where they live, even the moles on their body, he knows it all. The woman immediately straightened her back, trying to come up with the suitable answer.
"A-ah-ah y-ye, I mean no sir! I've been an assistant of Miss Zyril for 3 months now." the assistant stuttered as her whole flace blushed like a tomato.
"Oh, that's nice, how you liking it here?" Gerald stood up and poured himself and the woman a champagne. He then extended his hand with the other champagne glass towards the woman.
The woman just shyly took the champagne glass and took a small sip. She isn't really the drinker and prefers juice over liquor.
"I'm fine and happy with my current position sir. I feel really privileged on becoming the assistant of Miss Sparrow." said the woman as her expression changed after sipping the champagne.
"That's really great to hear. I'll have my stepsister in your care. Make sure to keep her safe understood?" giggled Gerald as he felt contended with the woman Zyril had hired to become her assistant.
At this moment, the door suddenly swung open, revealing the beautiful figure of Zyril as she motioned for her assistant to leave the room.
The assistant just nodded slightly and left the champagne glass whose contents bwas barely touched as she left silently while having her cheeks blush.
Zyril just waited for her assistant to exit as she locked the door and transformed the walls to become sound proofed.
"Gera-" the words of Zyril was cut off as Gerald extended his hand offering a glass of champagne. Zyril just took it and started to drink the contents in one gulp.
"Geral-" the words of Zyril was cut off once more as Gerald offered her a biscuit fron the nearby jar. She just took it and bit a small part of the biscuit. Zyril finally realized what's wrong as she just chuckled in her mind with her cheeks blushing.
"Gerry, there's a problem." said Zyril as she sat down on the opposite of Gerald. Gerald just chuckled as he smiled sweetly at Zyril.
"That's why I'm here, it has something to do with that man? All for One?" asked Gerald as he activated the holographic feature of his wristwatch and tapped there.
"Zero, tell me what's the chances of us having a major conflict with this All for One." said Gerald as Zero's face appeared and looked at Gerald for a second before speaking.
"Based on the available data it's as high as 95%. His predicted motivation is to control the whole nation of Japan behind the scenes while shaping it to something he envisions. He possibly might also have an ambition regarding world domination as seen from some criminals who got eaten alive by their new found power. Therefore, it aligns with your own agenda of controlling the whole Japan and world thereafter to ensure the safety of your family." said Zero as she brought up important points on where their own interests aligns with each other and they're bound to have some conflicts one way or another.
"Is there any way to prevent this from happening?" asked Gerald, though he isn't scared of some superhuman as he has conducted his own research that's far deeper than the current research papers available. He can confidently say that he has truly developed something that neutralize the enemy superpowers.
"The only way both to prevent this from happening is either you strike a deal wtih him, this is highly unlikely to happen as I predicts this has only 5% chance to succeed." said Zero with brutal honesty as Gerald just chuckled and Zyril frowned.
"I see...do the Yaoyorozu has come in contact with the man? It will be kind of foolish to try and schedule a meeting with All for One without a third party involved." asked Gerald as he stood up and sat beside Zyril.
"Yes master, the Yaoyorozu family has came in contact with All for One more than once. I predict All for One is helping them expand their real estate empire." answered Zero with a flat tone.
"Very well, schedule us a meeting with the Yaoyorozu couple, it looks like we need to have a talk them. Also, prepare the serum. We're dealing with a superhuman, better be safe than sorry." said Gerald as he held the hand of Zyril and gently pinches it.
"Time to visit the laboratory on that island..."
