The Man of the Future

Chapter 11 (Pursuing the Jade Buddha Statue Thief)

The rising sun finally leads Nack and Mark to meet Little Jean. Then they put the bodies of Fabian, Felton and Holman on the sides of Tella's body.

 

Little Jean approached the 4 bodies. His left hand he pointed at the 4 corpses.

Seen from the left palm of Little Jean, came out 4 mini needles, which penetrated into the bodies of 4 bodies. Which makes Nack surprised to be made by the actions taken by Jean Little against 4 colleagues who are dead. While Mark looks ordinary to see the actions of little Jean. For he knew little of the abilities of Little Jean, of his creator Jean.

"Little Jean, what are you doing?" asked Nack, who was now wearing Fabian's clothes, because his clothes were tattered. As a result of his battle with the robotic forces of Mars and the Moon. Which made him almost die in that unbalanced fight. If Mark hadn't helped himself.

Nack asked with all his incomprehension, hoping that little Jean would explain to him what Little Jean was doing.

"I hibernate with the needle, and their bodies will be preserved like the dead, only to be raised, in the future. But I don't know in what way?" little Jean answered, then approached Mark.

"Mark show me your crystal sword" Little Jean told Mark.

"But for what?" ask Mark with his full question mark.

"Later you will know" said Little Jean.

Mark took out his crystal sword from the scabbard. And showed little Jean, who immediately grasped it with her small right hand, and then released it again.

"Already Mark, put your crystal sword back in," Mark put his crystal sword back into the sheath. Without understanding what little Jean would do next.

Little Jean then pointed his right hand towards the 4 corpses. From the palm of his right hand, out came 4 needles that shot and stuck in 4 directions, which seemed to form a coffin.

There were 4 needles that stuck in the outer area of the 4 bodies, then sank into the ground. But a moment later, without bringing any land. A crystal coffin appeared, which wrapped the 4 corpses perfectly. Then the crystal coffin entered the ground, slowly but surely.

"Mark, I cloned the crystal element inside your sword. I'm doing this, to perfect the process of preserving the corpse" explained Little Jean.

"It's like that yeah, you're amazing Little Jean." said Mark, praising Little Jean.

"Thank you for everything Little Jean. I just need to find a way to bring the four of them back to life" Nack said, softly. As if he was holding back all his pain.

The ice age sun was rising above the sky. But they are still in that place, even though the funeral procession has been over since daritadi. It seems Nack is still reluctant to part with his comrades, who have been killed. Especially with Tella, her lover.

"Tell, I think everything's going to be fine. But it turns out everything is beyond our predictions. I'm all that's left of this mission, I don't know. Is it our destiny to be like this?" said Nack spoke to himself, staring intently at the huge navel that was in front of him.

"Oh my God!, why is this what has to happen to me," lamented Nack, with his pain still enveloping his heart.

Seeing Nack continue to mourn the death of his colleagues. Mark couldn't hear it anymore. He then calmed Nack who was troubled over the bad events that had happened to him.

"Nack, there's no need for anything to regret. Everything has happened. Maybe all this is his destiny, it has to be like this. And let destiny guide us, where we should walk and step" said Mark approached Nack, who was still resting beside the large belly button.

"I know Mark, this is fate. But I feel like this is not fair to me. Why this is what has to happen. Why is nothing else happening. Why this must happen. Not this thing, that should have happened to us!" hearing that, Mark sighed deeply.

"H.a.h!, I understand what you're feeling. But just lamenting what happened, I think it's totally free. And now you better make a decision," Mark then brought himself closer to Nack, who was sitting on the edge of the big belly button.

"Do you want to meet your Leader, or come with me to find the Jade Buddha statue, which has disappeared somewhere?" mark continued, continuing his words.

Seen anxiety reigns over Nack's heart, which looks from his face. But finally he made a decision, which was certainly best for himself and his future.

"Mark, I'm coming with you to look for the existence of that Jade Buddha statue" Nack said, with great steadiness.

"Are you, after we get that Jade Buddha statue, you'll hand it over to your Chief?" ask Mark in full search. That makes the silence happen, even if it's just for a moment.

"No Mark, I wouldn't do anything like that. I have decided to quit their membership. I'm tired of living like that, being a hit man" Nack said.

Nack then took out an object that looked like a cell phone, but was much thinner and more technologically advanced, from inside his pants pocket. He then contacted his headquarters in the Pacific Air city. With a single press of a virtual button on the screen of the phone-like object, Nack has been able to contact its headquarters.

But there was no answer he got. Finally a Saxon hologram appeared before him, which appeared and came out of the screen. As proof that he has been connected to his headquarters within the Pacific Water City.

"What's the matter, Nack?, has your mission failed?" saxon asked, with a face full of victory.

"It doesn't matter, I just want to talk to the Chairman" Nack said, coldly.

"Unfortunately, the Chairman this time is in a meeting with the elite officials of the Air Pacific city. Is there something you want to say?" ask Saxon, with his bases.

"Yes, and this is very important" replied Nack.

"I already know that. You've failed, and your friends are dead, it must be their belly button. Great and certainly they were not lonely there, for they were in the tomb together," Saxon holograms pointed at the great navel behind Nack.

"This is according to my plan. Even if you missed my plan a little bit, you should have killed Nack, too, on that mission," Saxon explained, in the hologram.

"SO THIS IS ALL YOUR PLAN?. WORKING WITH ROBOTS FROM MARS AND THE MOON?. TO FINISH OFF ALL FIVE OF US!" nack said, out loud.

"Yes, that was all my plan. And I'm gonna go through with my alternative plan. That's a dispute between you and Clark. And I hope you both die, until I'm the leader of our group" the Saxon remarked, causing Nack's emotions to peak.

"SAXON!, you're too ambitious to be a leader. Forgetting the meaning of friendship. And you have lost your conscience!" nack said, and the Saxon hologram laughed.

"I don't care about any of that. I only care about my dreams. Which will soon become a definite reality" heard the increasingly directionless words of the Saxons. Mark finally spoke.

"It's Nack, let me just talk to him" said Mark, intending to interfere in their conversation.

"If you want to talk to him, just talk to Mark" replied Nack, in a flat tone.

"You want to be a leader, right?. Basic man does not know himself. Have you forgotten what happened 1 year ago. Where you and 20 of your friends are dealing with my father. You're the only one who didn't fight. You have forgiven me, asking to be forgiven by my father. But it's just for you. Not for your dying friends. Because my father felt sorry to see you. My father finally granted your request. It forgives your life, plus your friends. But in front of my father's eyes, you slaughtered those helpless friends of yours. What a very barbaric act. What only a coward and a loser like yourself can do, '" Mark said, leaving Saxon speechless. But that's just a moment.

"Do you have any evidence?" saxon asked, as if to avoid the actions he had done 1 year ago.

Heard the words of the Saxons. Mark then showed me something like a triangular watch. The one in his left hand. Responding to the words of Saxon.

"In addition to professionals, the Well family was meticulous. Will not allow every incident in his duty, not to be recorded. Including that incident, recorded here. It will be automatically stored in the database of the Well family. Which was held directly by my grandfather," said Mark, pausing, then continued his words again.

"So, if you want to destroy that evidence, then you have to go to Mount Well Peak, to see my Grandfather. But I think, people like you, how dare to do it. Let alone to the Top of Well, to meet my Grandfather, to the foot of Mount Well. You must have been scared to death" Mark said, smiling sarcastically at the Saxon hologram.

"Well, I'm Mark Well!" mark answered, with complete confidence.

"Greetings, the weakest member of the Well family" said Saxon, who seemed to underestimate Mark. But not ignored by Mark at all. Because he was more focused on what the Saxons had done.

"You are, indeed, the devil from hell who was sent to Earth to make a mess, and pitted people against. But let time decide who will end first, you or me" Mark said.

Mark was visibly upset by the Saxon hologram. He then told Nack to stop telecommunications holograms between them.

"Nack just stop this hologram telecommunication connection. We're wasting our time talking to him, which to me is just rubbish" Mark said, staring at the Saxon hologram cynically.

"Well Mark," Nack presses a virtual button on the screen. And the Saxon hologram, then, disappeared when Nack did just that.

"Nack, I suspect that he is a member of the New Gura-Gura group. His forehead was covered by a black bandage. The characteristic of the New Gura-Gura is the presence of a tattoo on his forehead, with a large 'G' letter. With a membership number inside a large 'G' circle of letters. To hurt her, I'll analyze the image of her that was recorded on this thing. With the family data base Well."

Mark then pressed the button of an object like a triangle-shaped clock. His name is Jim Well, which is only owned by members of the Well family. When Mark pressed that button. The Saxon hologram appears before him. Then came a picture, like a membership system of a group. The box number 1 is at the top. Numbers 2, 3, 4 and 5 below. Numbers 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 are below it. Numbers 12, 13 and 14 below. And the numbers 15, 16, 17 and 18 are at the bottom.

Mark then pressed the button on Jim Well back. And all of a sudden the Saxon image appears on box number 18, in the blue area. The other box is empty. But boxes 12 and 13, appear to have been crossed by the 'X' sign, which indicates they were both dead, who were killed by Er Well 10 years ago.

"Oh!, apparently he is a member of the New Gura-Gura number 18. At the lowest level, in the blue area. It is fitting that he has such a great ambition, to become a leader. Nack turns out your group has been infiltrated by the New Gura-Gura group. This is very dangerous for your leadership and your group" Mark said, with great seriousness.

"So he was a member of the New Gura-Gura, it is appropriate that he did not have a conscience. Mark can you show me a picture of the other New Gura-Gura members?" asked Nack, full of frustration.

"Unfortunately, it can't be Nack. Jim Well can only input data. Then bring out the results. If it doesn't match what we're looking for. Then this thing won't respond to it. But I can explain his membership. But about the members, only my grandfather knows who they are. Do you want to know Nack's membership system?" clearly Mark, then asked Nack.

"It seems, inevitably, I have to deal with them. So it doesn't hurt, if I figure out their membership system?" timpal Nack, and Mark explained it.

"Box number 1 which is in the area of 4 colors, that is their Leader. It is said that his strength is as level as my Grandfather, which is level S. The boxes number 2, 3, 4 and 5 that were in the red area were the core group of the New Gura-Gura, the four of them were the protectors of the New Gura-Gura Chief. Their strength is at the top A level, more or less as high as my father's. While the boxes number 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 which are in the yellow area, are the top group of the New Gura-Gura. His strength was at intermediate A level. While the boxes number 12, 13 and 14 are in the green area, which is the new Gura-Gura intermediate group. His strength was at the lower A level. Numbers 12 and 13 have been wiped out by my father, so the boxes number 12 and 13 have been marked X. And there are rumors that they will snatch new members to fill the number 12 and 13 that have been empty. I'm afraid your boss is one of his targets. To fill that empty space. While the numbers 15, 16, 17 and 18 are the lowest group in the blue area. They are the ones who roam the most and make a mess. Their strength is as high as ours at level B" Mark explained, at length.

After explaining the membership system of the New Gura-Gura group. Mark then pressed the button on Jim Well. That made the entire hologram before him disappear, with no trace at all.

"It would be terrible if my leader, was made a member by them. I can't imagine what he's going to be, if that's what's really going on" Nack said as he let loose his gaze into the blue sky.

"Don't think too much about it. It's just my personal prediction" Mark said, calmly.

"Then what should we do now Mark?" asked Nack, getting up from his seat.

"I don't know, but it's possible that Little Jean knew what we should do next" Mark looked at little Jean.

"Little Jean, do you know who the Jade Buddha statue thief is?" mark asked, expectantly, will get a definite answer from the cloned robot.

"Yes I know. He's a man in a red robe. In his left hand was a flexible and flexible whip. With the whip, he managed to retrieve the Jade Buddha statue. By first breaking the virtual protector that protects it," said little Jean, explaining the incident he saw.

"Surely he's a great man. At the very lowest he has the ability of my level. It seems like this job is not as easy as I imagined it to be. My prediction slightly missed." Mark looked forward, with a chaotic mind and a big question mark on his mind.

"Who is the person who stole the Jade Buddha statue?" mark spoke to himself. That was answered by Nack.

"Maybe he's a member of the New Guests, Mark?" said Nack.

"No way, their way of moving is not like that" Mark replied.

"Mark, you don't need to think much and speculate, about who the Jade Buddha statue thief is. Because I had time to release a very mini-sized tracking device. Towards the Jade Buddha statue, which managed to stick to the statue. Hopefully the tool works well" said Little Jean.

Little Jean, then took out a device like a mini touchscreen phone that was very thin dimensions, which was a tracking radar from inside his pocket that looks big for the size of the body of the Little Jean. And then he activated it.

Two dots on the screen. One was black, not moving. And another red one that keeps moving southeast and away from the black spot.

"Mark, Nack look. This black dot is this radar and our current position. While this red dot, is the presence of the tracking device," said Jean Kecil, explaining to Mark and Nack.

"So we can trace the whereabouts of the Jade Buddha statue?" ask Mark, with a full search.

"Yes that way" replied little Jean. She let go of her smile towards Mark.

"Do you know now, where is the Jade Buddha statue?" ask Mark to come back.

"It may be 500 km to the southeast of this place" said Jean Kecil.

Mark then pressed the button on his Jim Well back, to find the koardinat mentioned by little Jean.

 

A holographic map appears before Mark.

"What!, that's the equatorial Space City coardinate. Is it possible that this person came from there?" mark was a bit surprised. When you look at the hologram map

"Maybe Mark. And that is most likely" said Little Jean.

Mark then presses Jim Wellnya again, to enlarge the map to 1000 times. Until the house looks Mr. Jhon on the hologram. Mark was really upset, finding such a reality. Thief Jade Buddha Statue, apparently came from the house of Mr. Jhon Swett. The Governor of the Equatorial Space City is notoriously miserly and greedy.

"It turns out to be true, I kind of know this area. This is Mr. Jhon Swett's house. So he wanted to play with me. All right, I'll serve your game, Jhon Sweet fucker!. Cunning basis deserves he has not transfer the down payment for this job," said Mark firmly, while clenching his right hand.

"Mark, that red dot has stopped, where you mean.if you already know the place, it's better. We're getting there fast. We're going to make a surprise by infiltrating it" said Little Jean.

"Yes, we're going to make a surprise and mess there. I don't like being played with and treated like this by her, wanting to get something without sacrificing something!" mark said, with his anger. Then press Jim Wellnya, until the hologram map was lost from before them.

"We'd better go now" Mark walked. Little Jean put the radar back in her pocket.

"Use Mark's hyper jet" Nack said, to Mark. Who walked behind Mark.

"No need for Nack, instead we want to infiltrate there. So we don't need your hyper jet. We better use our shen instead. (Shen: is a kind of inner power that only certain people have), to form wings and fly there. I'm confident in the abilities we have. We'll be there within the next 1 hour" Mark said, then took out the shen. Until there was like a blue colored light coming out from inside his back, which formed wings. And Nack too.

"Well, if that's what you want, I'll go your way" Nack said

"Little Jean, quickly you get on my shoulders, and hold on tight. We're leaving now" said Mark, giving orders to Little Jean.

"Well Mark," little Jean did as Mark commanded. Then they flew with their shen wings, heading towards the southeast.

It was seen they continued to rise and rise, accompanied by the twilight Sun, which was increasingly dimming in the boundless sky. Which is heading to the dispute.
