Doomsday Pillars

Chapter 40 - Reaction



Alex is currently waiting in a fancy restaurant, James Randall walks inside the room. With a gleeful face, he walks up to Alex without a walking stick.

"Thank you! Thank you, my friend, I feel really great!"

James Randal had taken both the spirit stone. He can now walk normally again.

SHHHHHH...

Alex suddenly throws him one of the table knives. James was startled. He manages to dodge the knife. Somehow he saw the knife flew a bit slow for him..

"From your dodging speed, it seems that you are still within the strength of middle-rank Mortal Realm. It seems that you are not yet completely cured, Mr. James."

"Mortal realm?" James was confused, but with his current condition, it already made him very happy.

"Yes, it is your current stage of strength. Consuming more of the stones could push you even beyond the limits of the human body."

James Randall was really excited by this news. This guy is a billionaire who can buy anything but have to live the rest of his life using a wheelchair. This news really is a beautiful song to his ear.

Alex continues, "So, what do you think about the Doomsday message?"

"Honestly I do not believe it, but I have seen first hand the effect on this miraculous stone, so at the moment I am keeping an open mind about this. I am a very rich man, if the Doomsday does happen, then money will have no value to the world. Men like me will lose their value. Just like any other business investment, the smart thing to do is to manage risk. I will start investing some of my money into the new currency; food, medicine, weapons, and protection."

"You are very wise Mr. Randall."

"When the Doomsday starts, I really hope that we can help each other. There is actually one thing that we can start preparing now."

Alex was discussing with James Randall about creating a way to communicate after the disaster. When the Doomsday starts, all communication signals will be down. The only way to communicate will be using a long-range two-way radio. The plan is to prepare a relay station in every 40 - 50 kilometer between Bali and Surabaya, that is about 10 relay stations. Afterward, they decided on the frequency and time.

"One very important point is about the base, Let me show you a very important location. The location is in central Java, it is going to be the sanctuary for all people who live in this java island."

After giving some information to the Randalls, Alex has 2 days before the Singapore gathering. He decided to use the little time he had to visit and try to warn some of his close friends.

The video message becomes the trending news in almost all channel, many believe that the Harvard professor has become crazy due to stress. The other possibility was that the professor was threatened. The professor is currently missing, none of his relatives is able to contact him.

Beijing, China.

In one majestic building, there is a big meeting room with 4 sides creating a square shape facing each other. Within each corner, there are one or two people sitting in the front row. There are few other people sitting on the back. In front of each of the tables, there is a gold Chinese symbol; Yang, Liu, Zhao, and Chen. These are the big 4 families in China. The families are so old that they are able to influence much of China's management of finance, politics, economy, and law.

The Yang families are the descendants of the first president of China they are mainly lawmakers and politicians. The Liu families have the biggest influence within the army. The Zhao families were dominated by the females family member, they owned China's biggest bank. While the Chen families own the largest businesses.

"The last agenda for this gathering is about the video that went viral yesterday."

The facilitator turns on the big TV and plays the video.

"Why did we bring up such cheap information within this meeting?"

"We have investigated that this was produced by the Randall family from Indonesia."

"The Randalls? That kid inherited the family business at such a young age. Maybe he got crazy because of his illness."

"That's the thing, we have investigated that his sickness has been cured and it is because of the same stone. We don't buy the Doomsday nonsense. But there is a chance that the Randalls with their profound medical research center has found a secret formula to a miraculous medicine."

Hearing about the miraculous medicine, the other families ears become focused full of interest.

"The Randalls have sent us a message and invited all of us to meet in Singapore on the 23rd. I vote to continue this investigation and send a representative to go there."

"Agreed."

"I concur."

"I also agree."
