At the Vorene estate Leon turned around on the bed when his phone beeped His body ached and untop of that he was hungry He didn’t know when he had fallen asleep Taking his phone from the side table, he looked at the screen MEETING WITH OMNI POWER He immediately clicked on the app, getting fully awake and sitting up The room was dark except for the cold hologram light floating above the table A mechanical beep echoed “Connection established. 05 signal west of latitude” the system announced To the men on the screen, he wasn’t Leon He was Prime One, the hidden founder of Omni Power. A mechanical beep echoed The room was dark except for the cold On the screen was Leon’s face disguised Other other camera video of Omni power division commanders, not one of them had ever seen Leon’s real face “Prime one just joined” the system announced Dane spoke first, his posture straight and respectful “We have a problem” “Report” Leon’s robotic voice replied
