Fiona had made up her mind. She didn't like the feeling of being looked down on. She was going to send a powerful signal, and let Leo know who he was dealing with.
"I hope this signal will be enough to wake you up,"
Even she didn't understand why she was so angry recently. Normally, she wouldn't have gone this far at this point, yet something about Leo's actions really upset her.
Not only did he reject her advances like she wasn't attractive enough, he even went after her money.
Even after all that, she was still willing to maintain some cordiality on the surface until she had evidence of him messing around. But Alpha Corp had outright shown their contempt for the Lionel Family.
Even if they didn't leave behind any evidence, the entire world was going to know that the Lionel Family was behind it. And she didn't care.
Her orders were immediately followed, and a 'cleanup team' departed for earth.
Meanwhile, Fiona returned to her home to her daughter, and started waiting for the good news.
On the other hand, Leo had also left, unaware about the things that were being planned for Alpha Corp's complete annihilation.
....
One week had passed, and Picollo had finalized all the accepted agreements. All the things that they received from buyers were placed in the name of Alpha Corp.
With that, in one week, Alpha Corp's owned assets had multiplied by a hundredfold if not more.
With the last contract being signed by Picollo, the young scientist could finally relax. Now all that was left was to have the units be collected by the buyers in the coming days.
"Get everyone ready! I'm throwing a party to celebrate!" He shouted, waking up even the scientists that were sleeping.
"Did someone say a party?" Quite a lot of researchers stood up, throwing their fists in the air.
Although only a few months had passed since they were throwing daily parties, this time it felt different. It wasn't a party of vanity, but a party to celebrate their achievements.
"I have booked the most expensive hotel on earth! I'll be paying for it all, so eat and drink to your heart's content! Oh, and I have another piece of good news for you, which I'll be telling you at the end!"
"Another piece of good news? Did we get another project assigned?"
"Why would that be good news? I just want to rest for a few days before we start anything else."
"Tch, I agree. I also want to visit my family at home. It's been so long since I last saw them in person."
"You know how proud they sounded when I last talked to them? I could even hear them cry. Their son has finally become an important person!'
"Hah, I haven't even told my parents yet. I want to tell them in person so that I can see their true expressions! It would be so great!"
"Hahaha, I can understand. My son is too young to understand my achievements, but I'm sure when he grows up and hears what his father was a part of, he will be proud of me."
Picollo looked at the researchers that had worked with him for the last few months. In that time, they had become something like a family to each other.
That's why he had already prepared to grant them a month-long vacation to spend time with their family, or to spend as they pleased. He was also planning to tell them at the end of night that their salaries had been doubled by Leo.
"The ship will be here soon. So get ready and we will be at the lobby in twenty minutes. Alright?" he asked, before turning around.
"Hahaha, I'll be there in ten! Can't wait to make you go bankrupt with the food bill! Don't come crying when it's time to pay!"
"Don't worry. I made a promise to you, and I will keep it. I'll make it a memorable night for you."
He left the office and went to his bedroom to change clothes. However, there was one more thing that he had kept a surprise for them.
It wasn't an ordinary party, and the researchers weren't the only guests. He had even invited the family members of each researcher to the party.
Their families were already waiting at the restaurant for them. That's why he had an amused smile on his face when everyone was talking about their families.
"It looks like their family members kept it a secret like I asked. I truly can't wait for the reveal. Good thing I sent Yelina ahead to make arrangements."
Picollo closed the door of his room, and took off his white jacket to get changed.
At the same time, a group of five people landed before the Alpha Labs Main Office.
"Is this the place?" A black haired man asked.
Another man answered, "This is it. Let's finish it fast, I want to go eat."
He pulled up his sleeves as he approached the main entrance. However, only after a few steps, he came to a sudden stop.
"Is this the thing that I was told to be careful about? They are already using this?" he mumbled as he looked at the empty space before him.
"I really would've been taken aback if I hadn't heard about it. But since we already heard about it, I know what to be prepared for... Isn't that right, young one?"
He snapped his fingers, and blood splashed out of empty air. Before long, a person came to sight, wearing the invisibility clothes of Alpha Labs.
"These clothes really do hide your presence, and even your body's heat signature. Unfortunately, just as I thought, they can't hide the sound of footsteps. How clumsy to overlook something so important..."
He shook his head lightly.
"Then again, earth was just promoted to a middle tier planet. They probably don't have people like us, so they don't know just what kind of people and skills are out there in the larger universe..."
"Aren't I right?" He looked to his left, and snapped his fingers again. Once again, a guard was killed and his invisibility was removed.
Without the slightest care in the world, he pushed open the door of Alpha Labs after killing both the guards outside.
