Buzz!

  The teleportation formation buzzed, and the old man walked out of it before placing twelve boxes in front of me.

  "Thank you for your troubles, Grandmaster," I said to the old man, and twelve boxes disappeared inside. We stayed in comfortable silence for fifteen minutes before I brought back twelve boxes and handed them to him.

  He nodded and walked back into the teleportation formation and disappeared from the conference room.

  It had been nearly an hour since I came to the conference room, and aside from having small meetings with Grandmaster Charline and mister law, I had been alone.

  Teacher usually comes to meet me by this time to discuss things, but she did not, though she was present; I could see her on the screen as she was preparing a big pool of solutions for fifty people to dip inside.

  I am not worried; she will come back.

  I watched the screens for a few minutes and gave some commands after reading the data from the scans before closing my eyes.

  I appeared in my core and walked to my study station, which now had a pink crystalline size of my hand and was as thick as my thumb. This disc is a recorder and a charger.

  The old Grandmaster earlier had brought seeds filled with the data of Emperors and some newly advanced Tyrants. This disc extracted all the data inside seeds and also charged, and it had done it extremly fast speed seeing the twelve hundred seeds contain the scans of over hundred thousand Emperors.

  I touched the seeds, and its basic UI activated; I chose the Tyrant options first; in the past ten days, hundreds of Emperors have leveled up to Tyrant class, and I want to look at their data before moving to the Emperors.

  Since the project has begun, I have added a couple of new Tyrants. The number in the project is not fixed, as long I found someone suitable, I will admit, but it is extremly hard to find suitable people as even now, there are not even a thousand people in the project.

  Soon the first scan appeared on the disk; my eyes quickly scanned it from up-down, looking at important that make one suitable for my methods, but I did not find one in this woman and thus swiped.

  It did not even take me fifteen seconds to look carefully looked at the scan and make my decision.

  In the month, I have become quite fast and my scans more detailed; on average, it would take me around twelve seconds to look at each scan.

  Hun!

  The second scan was also not much special, and I continued to swipe the next fifty-two scans when I suddenly stopped when I noticed something.

  "Teresa Reed, hidden agent," I said softly and noted down her name before continuing with my work. Since I handed down the project, I have caught three hundred and nine spies. 80% of them were Tyrants.

  I am sure it had frustrated the Grimms to hell to see their hidden agents found out one after another. It is likely the reason why the assanisation attempts have increased by sixfold; many of them were successful, and we ended up losing many good people.

  Soon, I finished with all the Tyrants; I did not find any other hidden agent or tyrant with suitability with my methods.

  Right after I finished with the Tyrants, I moved to the Emperors. I would need less than ten seconds to scan an Emperors. I would take a look at eight to ten scans of the Emperors every second.

  Even with such speed, I need days to look at meta-physical scans of Emperor. I tried an algorithm to sort out the ones with suitability to my method, but it did not work. The things I look at are vast and complex; I was not able to look for all those things.

  Though, I am trying to perfect it as I do not want to just look at Emperors; I want to go below even then, at kinds, even dukes.

  It had been a year since the war began, and it was far from over; we had just begun bringing out our true cards, and it would take a year or even more before we reached the final phase of the war, which is the shortest, finished within days to weeks.

  I am preparing for a protracted war, like every grand war and epoch war we have fought, too at least five years to finish.

  The scale of the war had reached close to grand war, and the council is saying this could very well be turned into an epoch war. If that happens, it means Grimms are prepared with numerous cards in their hands.

  We will need our own cards to deal with them, and I have already started preparing for it. Thankfully, the council also thinks the same and has been very forthcoming in investing in it heavily.

  In the past month, I have already selected more than two thousand emperors, and their initiation has already begun.

  They are in a different part of the Pyramid, and the one that is handling them is none other than Grandmaster Salvador. He is quite talented; the result he has produced in just two weeks is already very good.

  He is handling the Emperors, and as soon as those Emperors leveled up the Tyrant class, they will be directly part of the thousand grandmaster project I am leading.

  Fifteen minutes passed when I stopped in front of scan with a smile finally appearing on my face. Seeing his suitability, I added her to the list; as soon as I scanned him carefully and got the go-ahead from Grandmaster Sethi on psych evaluable, he will be added to the Emperor project.

  I continued looking at the scans; every hour, I would find a few Emperors suitable for me. 70% of these Emperors would be old, older than forty, which is good news in one way. Unlike the young ones, these are very experienced powerhouses.

  They could bear some of the treatments much better than young ones, especially those that give the pain.

  Buzz!

  I was scanning the list when I suddenly opened my eyes; the teleportation formation had lit up, and Marina had finally appeared.
