A person body contains cells, each adult bodies have around 50.000 to 100.000 functional cell. All this cell have a specific roll for the bodies, in today world the scientist called it the blood cells. the current medical technology manage to harvest the cell that were not used by the bodies, normally from the bone marrow, the brain or from the umbilical cords of a newborn baby. The amount that can be harvest as many as 100-150 cell every year, although multiple harvest are very dangerous to a human body.Blood cells generally these days were being used to saved lives by generate body tissues/organ, or most commonly be separate into small cell and sold publicly as a sure way to make skin ageless.
The medical science did many research and test on these cells, the best medical scientist have practice in reprogramming the genetic cell to create a stronger cells. but later through the doomsday pillar, they realize that they are not even yet touch the surface of the secret of the body cells. The doomsday pillar called this the body essence. All living things have them, when the mutation effect the bodies, the higher or stronger the mutation, the more refined this essence will be. some of this excess essence also usually are formed in the brain or bone marrow, and this essence with enough mutation would condense and solidify into what the doomsday pillar define as the spirit stone.
In a private room of fancy Chinese restaurant, a person sit by himself in a big table, he seems to be waiting for someone, this person have normally do lots of meetings with country leaders but the meeting this time make him a little bit nervous. This person is James Randal, he just got a call to meet by Alex this morning, James instantly clear all his business schedule and set up the meeting.
Yesterday he already got the research report from his scientist, his top scientist can relate this with the origin of blood cells. The small crystal stone have the potency of at least a million blood cells. The current human technology could not recreate this cell not even in the next 100 years but the stone is ancient and dated at least 10.000 years. the report have it final conclusion as "out of this world".
Also the fact that James ate one of them, and it wasn"t harmful to him even make his bodies stronger, make James wonder about the person he will meet. A moment later, James a.s.sistant let that person in, he then sit down in the big table facing James.
"Hallo Mr James, i appreciate the time for you to meet me, i"m sure you"re a very busy"
"Mr Alex, thank you for coming"
Alex smile and said "Should we order something?, this is a nice restaurant after all.."
Alex called the waitress and order, Peking duck, Steam Fish, 5 spices pork, Chili Crab....
James were puzzled, Normally In Indonesia and also most Asian countries, many business are settled during lunch, but with today"s current agenda, James surprise how casual Alex look. As for Alex he had 11 years experience of hungers and eating mutated animal without any spices or taste, so thinking about the future that will repeat, he would not waste such an opportunity to a feast.
While waiting for food, James started the conversation.
"Tell me Mr Alex, why would a family man like you suddenly sell your companies and moving to Bali, the money you spent, the things you buy it really puzzle me"
"Impressive Mr James, as one of the 9 dragons family it really are not just a t.i.tle, only 2 days and you already figure out my ident.i.ty, you really are more resourceful than the police."
"So please tell me Mr Alex, i"m not used to this, i normally can understand other people easily, its my gift, but i cant understand you, and i don"t really like mystery"
Alex reply, "Would you believe me if i said i know the secret of the future?"
"Please tell me you are not, i really don"t want to describe you as the delusional sort"
"Probably you should Mr James, this meeting will not go smoothly without it..."
James thinking for a while... he"s not sure what this man is planning, but thinking about the stone he"s willing to just play along with it.
Alex continued "I believe a huge disaster is coming Mr James, it will be the biggest the world ever had, and it will come at the end of this year."
"You are very imaginative Mr Alex, maybe you should write a fantasy novel instead"
"Yes if the disaster didn"t come, maybe i should.. but i a.s.sure you Mr James it would come"
"I already told you my reason, hence my move to Bali, it would be best if you believe me and be prepare as well, but if you don"t lets just talk about the stone"
"Yes, the stone, how did you acquire it?"
"Mr James, i don"t really mind telling you how to get it, but again you wont believe it, let"s just talk about what you can believe. First i think your scientist by now should have studied the stone and you should have believe that its a precious stone. Second since you ate the first stone you should believe by now that the stone is useful for you. Third you believe you need more stone and i have more with me"
Alex take out a small bag, pull it out and there are 4 white crystal stone come out. James starring at the stone, and he want it. just one of the stone could make his body stronger, what about 4 of them.
"i have more with me, but this is all i can spare to give, do you want it Mr James?"
James Randal wanted it, for him money and power are useless compare to his life, he really want it. While James lost in though for a while, suddenly the food are coming, Alex take out all the stone back, and start eating.
While eating, Alex continued, "There is a famous saying, no such thing as Free Lunch"
James answered "What do you want to trade it with?"
"I believe you need all 6 to turn you back into your full body strength, you wont worried about wheelchair or a stick anymore, each stone will make you stronger, you should consume the one in research for yourself. consider the first two are my gift as my sincerity to become your friend, Although for each extra stone i will need a favor from you, don"t you worry it wont cost much for someone such as you"
Alex trade the first stone for James to send group of doctor and medical expertise to be sent to his base in Bali, They will be sent to work for quiet a time so the family will be coming with them as well. Alex request for a full function medical research center. This request is easy for James as he have thousand of them, there are some who owes lots of favor to him, so its easy to move them right away. James accepted the first trade, a group of 100 people consist of doctor nurses and medical researcher along with their family total 300 people will be arriving in Bali within a week.
Alex traded the second stone for a simple letter. This later actually a bit harder for James to consider, but in the end he still write it. The letter will be made to a retired Indonesian Military Army General. Alex took the letter and carefully keep it.
For the third and the forth stone, Alex kept it and will come back for the trade as soon as his preparation complete. Alex then leaves the restaurant with full stomach, but minus 2 spirit stones
