Somewhere in a remote region of the Green Mist Sea.
Wom! Wom!
Focus lights shone in different directions around a huge structure that looked like a secret military base. With a territory spanning about a kilometer, the huge fence surrounding the base was prominent from a distance.
Outside the fence, spanning a region of kilometers was the effective detect zone of this massive secret base.
The secret base itself was a gigantic dome-shaped structure with 3 smaller same-shaped structures closely surrounding it from 3 different sides in a triangular formation, it was clear that the structures were used for the same purpose.
Every other part of the base inside the fence consisted of defense measures that were manned by variant human and predator guards of different species.
The thick fence that surrounded this underwater secret base had the integrity to accommodate a lot of defense weapons systems, and that was exactly what it was utilized for.
Though it could not compare to the military base of powerful Beast Empires or even high-grade rural settlements, this secret base was still heavily defended.
At this moment, the secret base was in a state of high alert like they were expecting a visitor. The focus lights shone into the distance, tearing through the veil of darkness in this region of the water to see the faraway truth.
Their focus lights were not their only active detection systems that were at work. Radar means were also employed, including a lot of other sophisticated means, even magic-empowered means of detection.
Unlike what the secret base higher-ups feared, their visitors did not try anything funny, they came through the normal route like was negotiated.
At this moment, a convoy of 3 small warships entered the detective perimeter of the secret base through the normal recognized route.
The 3 small warships were all clad with black with no visible organization emblem on their surfaces, the operation of these 3 warships was clearly one where they needed to act incognito.
Wom! Wom!
Once the 3 warships entered the detective perimeter, they were detected by the defenders of the secret base as a secret signal was transmitted between them.
Deep-scanners were activated as powerful pulses were detected from the gigantic fence that went straight to the 3 small warships, hitting them and invading their inner virtual defense circle.
The 3 warships stopped, then a few seconds later, a virtual projection of a short variant human with a muscly physique and long beard appeared.
This was a dwarf, one of the more developed of variant humans.
"My name is Badlock, welcome to the Den of Sin".
"It is an honor to be here".
A voice was transmitted from one of the warships the next moment, seeming not annoyed at the invasive actions of their client which was a power play to get more ground in the upcoming negotiation.
"Good! Our leader is waiting for you, client John Cena".
"I can't wait to meet him".
With that, all the gravitic measures that were employed by the owners of the secret base were deactivated, allowing the 3 small warships entry.
They drove inside the secret base under the constant scrutiny of their counterparts. Once they were inside, the 3 warships were left floating in the water while 2 individuals came out of the warship in the middle.
These 2 were Atlantians, Doctor John Cena, and Doctor Mrs. Layla Frost.
Once they were out, they met the dwarf who exchanged pleasantries with them a few minutes ago. Then together, the trio of variant humans floated closer before entering the main dome-shaped structure that was in the middle.
…
"Good day Doctors, it is nice to meet you".
"It is nice to meet you too, Mr. Dwarf Merchant". The handsome Atlantian revealed a bright smile as he took the dwarf's handshake.
With this gesture, the stocky dwarf added pressure to his opponent's grip in a bid to suppress him. John Cena already expected this as it was the most common and non-lethal form of a power-play used in underground business like this.
He did not flinch, easily shrugging off the effects of the dwarf's strong grip.
Yes, Sebastian's Atlantian living doppelganger was here for an underground business transaction that was off the books.
Over a month ago, when Doctor John Cena and his capable assistant, Doctor Mrs. Layla Frost finally entered the scene, they took the nearby region by storm as they wowed everyone with one brilliant feat after the other.
Through the genius, learning speed, and talent that was shown by the Atlantian Doctor, he was able to expand connections with a lot of similar geniuses in the medical domain, most especially anatomy.
All this happened in the middle-grade rural settlement, the Magic Healers and it all happened within one month.
Through his brilliant feats, the Atlantian Doctor and his assistant were able to start a basic anatomy organization where they raked in some money.
Their exploits in just 1 month drew the attention of a lot of powerful sharks. In the end, John Cena found patrons who invested in him and his talent, giving him the perfect opportunity to kick-start his career.
The Dome of Anatomy organization that was created in the Magic Healers rural settlement already drew a bit of fame there.
This was why once the Dwarf Merchant discovered that someone like this was trying to buy one of his dubious venting grounds, he was ecstatic and immediately set a date to meet up.
He didn't know where the start-up anatomist got the money to buy a secret base as huge as this, but he didn't care, all he cared about at this moment was the fact that a lump of huge meat finally landed on his trap.
The Dwarf Merchant was surprised that the Doctor managed to shrug off his strong grip so easily, but he quickly forgot it and went to the main point.
"Where is the package?" He demanded with a smile on his face.
"You first". John Cena reciprocated the smile.
"Haha, ok, if that's what you want". The dwarf laughed aloud before making a gesture to the side as his assistant placed what seemed like a suitcase before him.
Click! Click!
Once the dwarf opened the bag, John Cena also dropped his as the 2 bags were opened, revealing their content to both sides.
On the dwarf's bag was a written paper, this was the written deed to serve as proof for the secret base's handover once the money was paid. While on John Cena's bag was a bundle of neatly packed money.
The currency being used was Atlantian credits. It was not only the most widely used currency but also the most stable currency and was therefore convenient for business transactions like this.
John Cena looked at the written paper, going through the details to confirm that nothing was wrong while the dwarf confirmed that the money was not fake.
In just a minute, they were both done.
They shook hands again. "It was nice doing business with you".
This was underground business in Oceania. It was extremely swift, convenient, and simple to avoid leaving as many traces as possible.
But before the Dwarf Merchant could leave, the Atlantian Doctor grabbed his hand. "What is my guarantee that this place being my secret base is not going to be known to the whole world once you leave here?"
The dwarf was startled for a few seconds before he scoffed. "Beats me, that is your business, deal with it".
"I don't think so". John Cena applied pressure that kept the dwarf in place.
Click! Click!
Weapons were cocked immediately as the numerous dwarf guards who were hidden in the dark pointed their weapons at the 2 Doctors.
"Leave the boss alone!"
"…" John Cena was quiet for a few seconds before he laughed. "Hahaha".
"Next time, research your clients well before engaging in underground business. Sorry, I didn't want to do this but to keep this place a secret, there have to be sacrifices".
"Such big words, do you have what it takes…"
The Dwarf Merchant's words got stuck in his throat when he looked at John Cena again. The Atlantian's demeanor changed all of a sudden, his eyes changed from their normal color and shape to that of a dangerous lurking predator.
The spookiest fact of these all was the Atlantian's row of teeth that suddenly started elongating like he was transforming into a Vampire.
The Dwarf Merchant almost pissed his pants as he stumbled backward, horrified. "Wh-who are you?"
"I am John Cena!"
Whoosh!
