A week later.

Aron was behind the wheel, chauffeuring his family to the airport as they embarked on their long-awaited vacation. Accompanying them were three additional vehicles carrying security personnel, dedicated to ensuring their safety throughout the journey.

"Why aren't you coming with us?" Henry inquired, noticing that Aron had not packed his bag into the car.

"I have some unfinished work to attend to. I will join you once I find some free time," Aron explained, passing through the airport security checkpoint before proceeding to park the car.

"That's unfortunate," Henry said, his slight sadness overshadowed by the excitement he felt for the trip.

Aron couldn't help but let out a chuckle as he witnessed Henry's fleeting moment of sadness, which promptly vanished when Henry's gaze fixed upon an airplane landing outside the window.

After parking the vehicles, the group, accompanied by the security team, entered the airport and proceeded to undergo the necessary security checks. They then made their way to the designated area where the private plane awaited, ready to transport Aron's family and the security team to Europe.

"Join us as soon as you're able," said his mother, embracing him tightly as a farewell gesture.

"Yes, I promise," Aron replied, moving to embrace his father before lifting Henry up to his eye level, causing laughter to erupt from the young boy.

He then accompanied them to the plane and warmly greeted the pilots whom he had gotten to know during his two-month journey across Europe, where they had been his trusted transporters.

"Remember to use the app I gave you. It will assist you in choosing which places to visit. It's synchronized with the security team's devices, allowing them to prepare in advance once you've made your decision. Alright?" Aron reminded his parents one last time before he exited the aircraft. 

He then stood outside, waving at the excited Henry through the window, as the airplane commenced its taxi towards the runway, embarking on its journey to transport the Michael family throughout their European vacation.

Aron patiently waited until the plane took off, then turned around and made his way towards the airport building followed by four bodyguards with one of them carrying a box. He was heading to one of the United Airlines ticket counters to purchase a plane ticket for California, where he planned to visit a specific division of Lockheed Martin: The fabled Skunk Works division.

Once he had purchased the ticket, he turned to the four bodyguards who had remained to drive the cars back home. One of them approached him, carrying a box, and handed it to Aron. 

They then bid him farewell and proceeded to leave the airport to retrieve the cars, returning to the house to continue doing their security job.

Aron patiently waited for his boarding time to commence his work of gathering brain data from individuals on his list residing within the United States. 

His journey would begin on the West Coast, traversing through each state until he returned to his home state of New York on the East Coast.

Alongside the brain data collection, he also intended to finalize the recruitment of his forces from the list of 308 individuals. 

Last week, he had successfully converted the remaining fifteen people residing within the same state resulting in him having a total of eighteen people in his private forces who were currently on a one-month holiday.

He accomplished this by just healing them, restoring their health, and regenerating any missing body parts. He made sure to stop there and not continue using the healing rune like what he did to John in order to save time. As that can be done at any time.

As Aron had stopped using the rune once the individuals were fully healed, they did exhibit a more youthful appearance compared to before. However, the degree of transformation was not as pronounced as the remarkable changes John had undergone.

He decided to postpone their mutation for the time being. His intention was to allow the research teams in Lab City to thoroughly study the evolved characteristics of John's body and develop a genetic serum capable of replicating the same results. This serum would then be used on the remaining members of his forces.

The plan was arranged in a way that ensured that Aron would be able to complete the entire operation within a span of one month and two weeks.

...…

Eden.

Alexander could be seen in his study, engrossed in his work, as he dedicated his efforts to preparing his group for the imminent surge of new members.  His focus revolved around ensuring their readiness to accommodate the forthcoming influx and that they are not overwhelmed.

While Alexander was deep in thought, his concentration was abruptly interrupted by the sound of a notification. A soft "ting" emanated from his device, indicating the arrival of an SMS. He promptly diverted his attention and opened the message to see its contents.

Sender: CONNECT.

After reading the message, Alexander knew that the most intense period since the establishment of their group had finally arrived. They had to endure this challenging phase for approximately six months before Eden entered a transformative era.

Taking a moment to reflect on where they had come to reach this point, before he said, "Phase two has officially started," followed by a burst of laughter.

His laughter intensified as he recollected the meeting with the other revolutionary leaders, where they had collectively rejected Aron's offer. Yet, against all odds, Alexander had quietly followed his gut feeling and secretly agreed to the proposition—a decision that now seemed remarkably wise in hindsight. The irony of the situation overwhelmed him, fueling his amusement even further.
