Chapter 982: Waiting is Also a Form of Attack

"We must be careful in the selection of John\'s mother. We must make sure that the first reaction the new mother shows upon finding herself suddenly being pregnant will be to cry tears of joy and thank God, instead of calling an abortion centre to ask how much it\'ll cost. We\'ll leave the rest to the realm. They\'ll surely arrange everything better than we will," said Sheyan while chewing a mouthful of bbq chicken burger.

"This is a big project, boss," murmured Mogensha.

Sheyan drank half a coke and burped comfortably before lifting the briefcase on his hand. "I agree with you, AK, but we have to do it no matter how big the project is. Here\'s some demographic information Sanzi and I have gathered, including a list of families that are looking to adopt boys, and a list of infertile patients waiting for treatment. There\'s a mother with a fallopian tube deformity, a father with low sperm count…there must be something we can use in here."

While Sheyan was speaking, he handed out a thick pile of information to each of them.

"Now we need to find the right person. First, John\'s mother should be below 35 years old because older mothers are three times more likely to suffer from pregnancy complications."

Not many people would discuss work in a McDonald\'s, but such people were not few either. The focus of the public was on the recently invading machine mob, so they were especially alert to anyone with stiff, dull faces, and would immediately call the police if they saw any signs of suspicious activities. Since Sheyan\'s group talked and laughed merrily, no one suspected them.

The first round of screening by Party Ace already eliminated 3/4 of the candidates.

Sheyan ordered another Colonel Chicken (TL: This ain\'t KFC wat u doin author) and issued the second requirement while chewing on the chicken.

"Second, John\'s mother should have a decent job, which ensures that she has enough money during the pregnancy to cope with all kinds of accidents."

This requirement further eliminated 1/2 of remaining the candidates.

Sheyan continued, "She should have a refined husband, someone who\'s highly educated, non-alcoholic, and has no record of violence - after all, domestic violence is one of the main causes of miscarriage."

After listening to Sheyan\'s request, Zi shrugged and said, "You sure set a high standard. We\'ll have to make calls to investigate and verify their situations."

"I\'ll pay for the phone bills," said Sheyan with a smile.

Zi rolled her eyes at that, but even this action of hers contained an indescribable charm. It stirred Sheyan\'s heart. Without any change in expression, he rubbed Zi\'s leg tentatively under the table. It resulted in his toes being stomped by the heel of her stiletto. The pain penetrated into the very core of his being, but he dared not make a sound.

After this round of screening, there were only nine candidates remaining. Everyone was relieved that the most difficult phase of the task was over. However, Sheyan\'s next order sent them to the brink of insanity.

"Now, the last requirement." Sheyan said with some difficulty, "I want to know the exact time of their menstrual period."

"……"

"……"

"Boss, you\'ve gone too far!"

"I object!"

"We\'re not risking our lives in the nightmare world to satisfy a certain person\'s abnormal fetishes!!!"

"SILENCE!!!!!"

The veins on Sheyan\'s forehead throbbed. "Do you seriously think I\'m that kind of person?"

Sheyan\'s expression that was full of righteousness finally silenced them a little, but Jinkuang suddenly appeared and laughed wickedly.

"Brilliantly done, my master…"

Sheyan shut his eyes in misery. The righteous image he had worked so hard to create was immediately destroyed.

He yelled bitterly, "You ignorant, illiterate, uncultured masses! It\'s clearly written in "All About IVF" that a woman has certain time periods when she\'s not suited to get pregnant. For example, during the menstruation period and 10 days afterwards, the environment inside the uterus is like a barren land, and the success rate of embryo transfer is no higher than 30%. The most suitable time for embryo transfer is seven days before menstruation! Dealing with ignorant people is a real pain."

Towards the end of his speech, Sheyan was already roaring and growling, but he suddenly noticed Zi giving him a chilly stare.

"Who did you call ignorant?"

Sheyan coughed sheepishly and changed the subject. "Let\'s move on. All their contact information is here. Tell them that you\'re staff from the hospital calling to get some information from them in order to properly process their request. Try to speak in a textbook doctor\'s tone. It won\'t be much of a problem."

The survey found that the contact details of four of the nine candidates were already out of use. The remaining five contact numbers were successfully connected, but two were picked up not by the candidates themselves, and the people who picked up the phone could not answer questions as personal as menstruation periods.

Of the 3 remaining candidates, one had a change of heart. She had suddenly realised that children were "terrifying creatures" and no longer wanted to have one.

In the end, their choices was narrowed down to two. Ms. Adess told them that her period was half a month ago,while Ms. Dumbley was just done with her last period. Therefore, they had no choice but to set their sights on on Ms. Adess.

************

The remaining process was simple.

Sheyan slipped some aphrodisiac into the dinner of Ms. Adess and her husband and waited for them to have some action. Then, using ether as anesthetic, he succeeded in injecting John Connor, still in his embryo state, into Ms. Adess\' body.

The most error-prone part of the embryo transfer operation was gauging the depth at which the needle needed to penetrate the body. Too deep, and the needle would penetrate through the uterus, but too shallow, and the tip would not reach into the uterus.

They were errors often committed by newbies who performed the operation with nervous, trembling hands. Sheyan was also a newbie, but he was someone who had gone through a lot of life-and-death situations, so his mental strength was unbelievably strong. He succeeded on his first try.

After cleaning their trails and removing anything out of the ordinary, Sheyan set fire to the several archives he had been to, destroying all the sources of the information he had gathered. This way, it would be impossible for their enemies to find Ms. Adess unless someone had a precognition ability.

As a matter of fact, divination abilities did exist in the realm, but the cost of divining the whereabout of a main character that was still in an embryo form must be alarmingly high. So, Sheyan was not too worried regarding this matter. He was worried that the party would bring trouble to Ms. Adess if they were found, so they did not hesitate to leave far away.

After all that was done, they finally received notifications from the realm.

[ The saviour John Connor\'s embryo has been removed from his biological mother\'s body. He is currently alive. ]

[ Please wait patiently. After the critical period of thirty-six hours, your main mission will be deemed completed. ]

Everyone on Party Ace breathed a sigh of relief. The sword at their neck which threatened to cut their base attributes had moved a little further away. That kind of agony was almost unbearable.

These thirty-six hours, of course, could not be spent in vain. Sheyan and his team had ensured the complete secrecy of their operation, so as long as they stayed far away from Adess now, the embryo of John Connor was almost impossible to be found. These thirty-six hours were a free gift for Party Ace.

And as all the Party Ace members knew, Sheyan came to this world due to that mysterious metal nut. There was no time like the present to unravel the mystery surrounding the nut.

But Sheyan frowned when he heard this suggestion because he did not intend to do so.

Sheyan had not forgotten about the "mastermind behind the scenes", and he was almost certain that the mastermind was related to the Stockholm party. Since Drogba had already done this mission, he would certainly reveal the mission process in detail. There was no doubt that if they chose to complete the nut mission now, the other side would launch an attack at the most difficult juncture in the mission!

Sheyan must of course try his best to avoid such a thing from happening. The enemies were strong to begin with, and they were also hidden in the shadows, waiting to ambush. In such a situation, let alone completing the mission, even survival would become a problem.

Sheyan noticed that during the period when Party Ace was moving in secret, the contestants on the opposing side had hid themselves too. He was unable to see any signs of their actions. On the other hand, the contestants who had accepted the mission of protecting Sarah Connor would occasionally appear on the news channels as if they were moving around aimlessly.

This inevitably gave Sheyan a huge pressure.

The enemy could actually organise the contestants on the opposing side, who were woefully divided, and helped them disappear without a trace in a short period of time!

A deep scrutiny would reveal that the capability displayed by the mastermind was actually really frightening. The vanished enemies were like a dagger of an assassin lurking in the dark; though invisible, one could feel its existence, its bloodthirst and its razor sharp edge!

If it was someone else, they would surely have made a hasty judgment under such intense pressure.

But Sheyan happened to be an extremely patient man. More importantly, he believed he could afford to wait! In the end, the one to break down first would definitely be the other party!

Because sometimes, waiting is also a form of attack.

A powerful attack!
