Chapter 1

Albert Einstein was dead tens of years ago just after the end of the world war II. But the intelligence continued in his family. Henry Einstein, his son inherited his father's intelligence, he built a multi national that produce arms and ammunitions, he was one of the most successful men and it seems he surpassed his father. But he knew there was a codex left by the late scholar, Albert Einstein that he was not able to unravel and the contents of the codex remains a mystery. He knows he has limited time to unravel the mystery as the spies planted by various countries already sent the information to their respective employers. The United States could not delay as they thought it was a super weapon that could destroy the world.

The codex remained untraveled throughout Henry's lifetime. His son, Albert Einstein's grandson took over the company, he was still a little bit experienced though wise and intelligent. This gave the opportunity for various countries to have a copy of the codex.

Unlike his father, Louis did not marry but devoted his time to researches and invention. After a few years, the young Louis matured. He decided to sell all the companies and all the laboratory separately except one. This laboratory was the one in which the original codex was placed. Louis decided to adopt two children, a boy and a girl to continue the Einstein family as he was the only son of Henry Einstein.

He sent them to various world best academies as he concentrated more on unraveling the mysterious information in the codex. Years passed away and Anna and Jill Einstein had finished schooling. He gave them huge sum of money to start their own business. All these years, Louis was playing all the fatherly role required of him. He created time for them out of no time.

Today was Anna's birthday. She had already sent a message to her father who sponsored the party. Weak and tired, Louis was coming from the laboratory in his favorite red Ferrari Rafa. The music of Michael Jackson was soothing his soul as he carefully drove.

He was not supposed to attend the party as the decoding had reached a vital stage, but he had to go as various countries representatives will be there to see if he had gotten anything. The party was not interesting to him as the largest population of the attendees were young people.

Times are changing, government changing hands but they all made it a duty to monitor him. Since nothing could be noticed for about fifty years, many small and developing countries already lost hope. Louis was already at his late seventies and he already had grand sons.

Louis all of a sudden began to buy living materials, he intended to start the last struggle for deciphering the codex.

"If I don't come out after a year, just seal the whole laboratory and use it as my tomb", he said with bloodshot eyes. "I don't believe grandfather's codex will be so tough to crack".

Six months went by and many countries focused back on the Einstein family. Meanwhile in the laboratory, the handsome Louis with well shaven beard and moustache that made him acceptable to female even at that age was lost. All that could be seen was an haggard looking man. He was obviously weak and stressed out but the hope for the unknown kept him going. "A message in a codex this tough cannot be so simple".

At exactly eight months after he entered seclusion to decipher the codex, the codex was uncoded and he could see the contents clearly.

He opened his mouth agape with saliva almost dropping from his mouth as he read with relish, the contents of the codex. The title of the codex is THE LONGEVITY FORMULA.

"If you are seeing this message, it means I am long gone and you have been the lucky one to decipher this codex u wrote during my last days. You might be wandering while the coding, I made a nuclear weapon and my intention was to stop war and promote peace but man have turned my weapon of peace maintenance to weapon of mass destruction. I would not want this to get to the wrong hands so I used the code I formed", Louis read.

"As the title implies, this is a drug I devoted my last days to but unfortunately because of the inadequate technology level, it could not be completed. The materials needed are:

Gingko biloba, Ganoderma lucidum, White Willow bark, Celery, Purple Passion flower, Blood root, Ginseng, Black cohosh, Valerian, Goldenseal and Hawaiian Sandal wood. All these medicinal plants are very precious and the lifespan of each if them were specified.

And the process is also written at the back. Lastly to anyone that deciphers this book, be careful and don't trust everyone around you", the book ended.

Louis after reading everything in the codex calmed down, he didn't trust everyone around him but what of his adopted children.

MISSION COMPLETED. It was time to go out but he knew that agents from various top countries would be around so he needed a plan. The first step was to destroy the only sheet of paper on which the final deciphered text was written without any obvious method. He resorts to swallowing the paper which went successfully as he had photographic memory which helped him to memorize the whole formula with its processes. There was no need for much drama as he already looked like a tired vagabond in appearance.

Time to act... He stumbled out of the laboratory after opening the door in a very loud manner. He slammed the door in desperation (happiness) as he closed it. Anna was already at the door as it was her turn to wait for his returning. Anna urged her father into the car and drove off slowly in order not to wake the sleeping (***) father that was already snoring on the backseat.

The car reached his house which was always maintained and well cleaned by his servants and his daughter, Anna woke him up and helped him to the master's bedroom to rest well . His bodyguard came not so long after and resumed duty.

It was dawn and many political leaders came to greet him. Of course they were using various styles to ask if the codex was successfully deciphered but the disappointment and sadness on his face was an answer to them. Louis let the matter rest for few months before he started purchasing medicinal materials and test creatugren

Boom! Professor Louis looked with devastated eyes as another test failed and the animal exploded. "Another failure? ", Louis lamented as he was already getting to the end of the rope. He came out of his secret laboratory in his house and met his children in his living room.

Before Jill could talk Anna who could read the message on his father's face sympathized with his father. "You failed again? "

The materials are almost finished and he had already spent all of his net worth on this experiment. You might be wondering why his children knew about the experiment, of course he told them. He was willing to believe them as he did not interpret family as everyone. He rested for a day as he wondered why various countries stopped visiting him.

"Perhaps, they had given up "

He entered the laboratory once again trying to locate the errors in the former mixture and correct them. "The ****** is a little bit greater than 21.9944 grams as that was the configuration in the formula. It is the main material and any change results in failure. He had another few experiments with the same result.... FAILURE.

All the materials that remains are only enough for one medicine. He decided to go and rest and begin tomorrow when he is at his peak performance. He went to his room and slept off.

.

At exactly half past eight in the morning, Louis entered his private laboratory. He weighed all the needed medicinal materials. He mixed all and got the perfect result, the aroma and thew taste was exactly as the codex described it.

Aaaaaaaaarh aaarh. Louis roared in laughter as he already succeeded in what his father and grandfather could not do. He dared to drink the contents of the test tube which resulted in a severe spasm like pain allover his body. He tried to keep the voice low but when he could not persevere, he shouted in pain. Unknown to him his body was going through a lot of changes. The grey hair and beards were turning back to lustrous black color and other internal and external changes.

After about five minutes of pain, Professor Louis Einstein was back in his prime. Ha flexed his muscles and the strength if his early twenties was back again.

He came out of his secret laboratory happily, eager yi share the success of the experiment to his family but the result shocked him.

Behold the various Heads of State, Prime Ministers and Presidents were seated in his sitting room with a lot of king of soldiers and agents that served as entourage. He looked a little bit to the rear and he saw his children, Anna and Jill talking and laughing with them.

Louis looked around for few minutes and started to laugh in mockery of himself. "I am so stupid. I was betrayed not by my servants but by my children, that's great", he thought.

He made himself comfortable on his favorite cushion. He looked at all of them once again and continued the deoreciating laugh.

"We don't have to ask about the success of the experiment as it is obvious already", the Prime Minister of England said.

"Would you surrender the formula to the UNITED NATIONS or you would want us to get it ourselves", the President of the Russia added as he smiled at Louis.

All the other presidents of small countries began to murmur in support but the Leaders of big countries remained silent, looking at him to know what his decision would be.

"I am not willing to surrender anything whether now or later".

. "As expected"

"Let's kill him and we would use his blood to make another one. He should be grateful his body is used by the world just like his grandfather's brain", Jill said with a normal face. Louis can no longer contain his anger.

"You bastard..... ", he said as he moved towards Jill to slap him. Before he could take two steps, a gun was already fired. Louis closed his eyes waiting for the bullet to hit him. Two seconds later, he opened his eyes and he saw his bodyguard's body lying on the tiled floor with blood gushing out of his left chest. He ran towards Edward who was seriously bleeding. He died in his arms after few seconds, he heard another gunshot, he didn't move but took the bullets. He fell down getting weaker as the blood was gushing out. He noticed a ringed grenade in Edwards pocket, he crawled fast and before another bullet would be shot, he removed the pin with all the strength

he could gather and GBOOOM everything scattered as the grenade exploded.
