《Into The Portal: Monster Invasion》182- Oh, I Just Heard It
Advertisement
At this time big families of Unity were waiting at the address Mother AI gave them. They were ready to confront criminal parties and “escort Marooner to safety.”
“Where the hell is Marooner? Also haven’t we found the criminals yet?” General Tian asked his colleague. Mercer looked at him but didn’t answer. They ran to the place as soon as possible to protect the asset. Mercer was here to prevent other families from getting Marooner, while others were here to capture Marooner for themselves. But their pretense was helping Marooner.
“Sir, criminal parties are spotted in 123 Main Street of Capital. Close to a hundred men clashed with five figures before both sides withdrew. According to numbers, criminal parties cannot be here.” A soldier came to Generals to report.
“Withdraw,” Mercer said to the soldier.
“Yes, sir!” The soldier saluted and left. Mercer looked at two other generals with an ugly face before ordering his wristwatch, “Solomon, call your Mama.”
After a few seconds of waiting, a floating round, Mother AI appeared in front of three generals. “What do you wanna discuss, Generals?” She asked calmly.
“The address you gave was wrong. Neither criminal parties nor Marooner appeared here.” Mercer asked with a frown.
“Let’s add another party to this conversation.” Mother AI said calmly before a handsome blonde man appeared in his virtual form.
“Generals.” He saluted before nodding towards the floating ball.
“Why is the Leader of Lemaze here?” General Strankov asked.
“When I found out that the leaders of the Criminal Parties found out Marooner’s whereabouts, I asked Mr. Lemaze here, the delivery address of Marooner so we could help him. The address I gave you is the same as what I received, so the question has to be asked to him.” Mother AI said.

“Yves, explain.” General Tian sternly ordered.
“Am I one of your men, General?” Yves Lemaze looked at General Tian defiantly and refused the answer.
“Will you please?” General Strankov shook her hands and said, “We have no time.”
“Very well.” Yves Lemaze ignored raging bull General Tian and turned to the other two generals, “This morning, Mr. Marooner ordered five orbs from our site. To prevent any mishap we changed the address before it appeared in the database. So when Mama Hill explained that our database was hacked, and Marooner’s address was exposed, I gave it the address criminals could access. Because Marooner’s real address never appeared in the database, and there is no way on Earth anyone could access his real address.” Yves Lemaze explained calmly.
“If you change the address, how would orbs be delivered to him?” Mercer asked.
“Our site regards privacy very highly. In most cases, we remove addresses and replace them with fake ones. Only the drones would take the items and deliver them without any name. So delivery would be completed without exposing any private information.” Yves explained proudly.
“Looks like you are not regarding enough.” General Tian snorted and rubbed it to Yves’s face.
“What do you mean?” Yves squinted and asked with a frown. “I will not let you slander our brand’s name.”
“Not long ago criminals attacked five figures in 123 Main Street of Capital after one of your drones delivered a package to one of the post boxes over there. The attack occurred after figures opened the post box.” Mercer explained. They all had their own information channels and learned ins and outs of the situation in no time.
“Impossible. It must be a coincidence.” Yves’s countenance changed, he shouted at Generals.

“Calm down, Yves.” Mercer looked at the man with pity and shook his head. “Is there a way for anyone to know the true address?” A glint flashed in the other two generals’ eyes.
“Technically, there is a way.” Yves pondered for a while then answered. “That person has to hack into our database and check into every single order and address to match the order with the address. Since we changed Marooner’s address, a drone never went there, so a qualified hacker could filter false addresses and look for a real one. But our daily delivery numbers are in millions. No man or computer can do that in such a short time.”
“So you say, it is indeed plausible but computing power would be unconscionable.” General Tian asked with a frown.
“Yes. I dare to say no computer on Earth can achieve this. Even our computers can’t do that.” Yves claimed proudly. They were the richest family on Earth and had the best computer a man could build. Not even the science center of the Army had a computer as good as theirs. Of course, he was suspecting of an AI, but AIs were as powerful as their hardware. Wristwatches weren’t even close to that power. And Mother AI was under constant watch. She wouldn’t be allowed to create such a strong computer while three old monsters in front of him kept her in check.
“I understand. Criminals must have gotten it through some other method.” Mercer said and let the man go away. After Yves left Mercer looked at the floating ball in the room and asked.
“You said you got the information but didn’t say from where.”
“Leader, we are walking to address. We will catch the target in no time.” A voice appeared from a virtual ball. The owner of the voice was a male.
“Boss, we are at the address, as soon as he is here to take his delivery, we will be on him. Target is still not here, but as soon as he appears, we will catch him.”
“Marooner is not in sight. We are waiting.”
Record after record played by Mother AI, and she said after they were all finished, “Oh, I just heard it.”
