"The starting points of The Chosen Ones are much higher than ordinary people's, so in order to ensure that she'll get develop properly, I have sent her to the headquarters of Doyle, where there are more resources," Nixon answered truthfully.

Steve's brow furrowed. "Did you do that with her consent?"

Nixon smiled. "We have no choices when it comes to the future of mankind. Hence, we've found you."

Just then, Nixon activated the smart bracelet and a light curtain flew out, projecting in mid-air.

"Vivien!" Steve saw her image on the projection and shouted out at once.

"Steve!" Vivien had also seen Steve and shouted.

"How are you doing now? Have they done anything to you?" Steve asked her immediately.

Vivien smiled happily. "I'm fine! They're being good to me."

Steve's face was complicated as he said, "I'm sorry! This is all happening because of me..."

"No, I should thank you. If it weren't for you, I might never have done anything in my life." Vivien shook her head.

Only the two of them knew what they were really talking about. If Steve hadn't activated Vivien's old rulers of the past power, Vivien would not have been discovered by the military base's top executives, which meant that she would not be in this situation now.

But Vivien didn't blame Steve. In fact, she was grateful to Steve. If Steve hadn't inspired her to reach her potential, she would probably have stayed ordinary forever.

Moreover, Vivien was able to see hope now because of the power of the old rulers of the past. As such, she had hope that she would be able to catch up with Steve in the future.

After the two had a brief conversation, Steve understood Vivien's current situation. In turns out that Nixon and the others did not treat Vivien badly, and they had also given her a lot of help. For example, Vivien now had access to many more resources than she used to.

"It's not necessarily a good thing to have this power inside of you." Steve shook his head with a sigh.

As for the old rulers of the past and the collapse of the Lemurian civilization, these two secrets could not be disclosed to the public yet.

"I'll be careful, and I'll try my best. It won't be long before we meet again. I'll give you a surprise then." Vivien's face turned inexplicably red as she spoke.

During this period, she had been practicing how to control the power in her body. So, once they met again, she should be able to control it effortlessly. But, at the moment, it was not convenient to talk about some secrets, as Nixon was present.

After confirming Vivien's safety, the two reluctantly ended their conversation. Steve breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that at least Vivien was safe. As for the hidden dangers of the power of the old rulers of the past, that was still uncertain.

"How can I reunite with her again?" Steve looked at Nixon and asked.

"It's simple... And difficult." Nixon laughed at the irony of his words. He then said, "As long as you are accepted by the headquarters of Doyle, you will be able to reunite with her."

Steve's eyebrows furrowed upon hearing this. It seemed that there was still a long way to go before he could be with Vivien.

"I have checked your information, and with your talent in the Armored Robots Division, as long as you continue to work hard and become a Trump Card Armored Robot operator, I believe that you will be admitted to the Doyle State Headquarters," Nixon said.

...

Steve had been in deep thought ever since he came out of Nixon's office. He was frustrated, as it seemed that the current situation was beyond his control.

At the same time, the legends about Steve spread throughout the military base, causing a great sensation. All of the people were dumbfounded when they heard of his defeating the Death Combat Unit and ranking within the top 10 of the Original Gravity Tower level in one breath!

Such amazing achievements had refreshed the record of the whole military base! Even the veterans who had become Evolved Beings were shocked to hear the news.
