The Hidden Myth of Ji Dara

"Though, I truly believe what you are trying to do here because I have made my research, I just don't believe you wanted to change your full security details because a veteran who is in that position seems to look tired to you…"

Sam paused and looked intently at Roy;

"Alright... I guess the moment of truth is here…"

Roy said before emptying his cup and gesturing Sam to sit under a Cherry Blossom tree…

"So, where should I start from?"

Roy sighed rhetorically before arranging everything within his head and finally speaking;

"Well, our company hasn't always been about helping the less privileged…"

"My father was simply a full blown young man who was engrossed by everything outside our planet…"

"He loved learning and reading about other planets galaxies and extraterrestrial phenomenon, and as a result, science as a whole became his vice…"

"Anything that can bring him closer to experiencing something otherworldly; from the science of technology, to biology and even the science of space itself…"

"Then in the space of about twenty years, he had 3 B.Sc., 6 M.Sc. and 12 Ph.D.'s… "

"What!? How is that even possible?" Sam blurted in shock;

"Well, he studied two B.Sc., 2 M.Sc. simultaneously back when he was young, because he wanted to see if he could do what no one else had ever done; run two different broad courses, simultaneously…"

"My grandfather was rich and raised his kids with a free hand, so he had no problems funding my father's passion…"

"But after studying it all, he began to patent some new discoveries and before long, several the top tech, medical and extra-terrestrially inclined firms began to consult him on different problems situations and conditions, which he effortlessly solved for them in less than one percent the time these firms though he could come up with a solution, and a result he won several Nobel prizes and became internationally famous…"

"But despite all of this, the hole within him had yet to be filled…"

"Then on the day my grandfather was finally going to pass away on his bed, his private doctor who my father hated with renowned passion called my father and told him he might not make it through the day, so my father flew over to see him…"

"Why would your father hate your grandfather's private doctor?"

Sam asked seemingly confused and somewhat suspiciously;

"Well my father wanted to find the cure too my father's illness, it was a terminal hereditary disease that made every cell within one's body to age almost thrice as fast as a normal being, therefore shortening his lifespan…"

"My father back then wanted to create a cure for this, but my grandfather who was a very spiritual person believed that was how fate wanted it and he didn't want to mess with fate's grand plan…"

"Thus, my dad tried to coerce the doctor many times to administer the cure to his father's illness, but the doctor had been explicitly instructed not to do so because my grandfather knew his son all too well that he never receives no for an answer…"

"Not since birth, which was one of the traits that made him achieve everything he did in his lifetime, but at the same time, my grandfather also wanted to teach his son that he could not always get everything he wanted,, and what better way to teach him than to have him lose one of the things he cherished the most in his life…"

Sam sighed as he wondered what wealthy people usually think in that crazy head of theirs sometimes…

"On getting to my grandfather's side, he found a middle aged man beside my father's bed, someone he had never seen before in his life…"

"That middle aged man who was in his late forties whilst my father back then was in his late thirties…"

"The middle aged man was introduced by my grandfather to my father as Mr. James Corvinus, and he was a rising business tycoon…"

"Apparently, James' mother had died in a car crash when he was just 2 years old and his father being a wayward good for nothing wasn't there to help, thus his grandfather stepped in and took care of him whilst James' decided to take his grandfather's name instead…"

"James Corvinus Snr. who had learned personally from my grandfather for over half of his entire life then became the overseer of my grandfather's wealth, and my father wasn't at all concerned about it…"

"He had just lost the only person that mattered to him the most in his life, thus, he focused on the next thing that could fill the gaping hole within him; his work!"

"But a few years later, he started to receive sanctions and warnings from the government because my father never wanted to involve himself with all these political strife and lies, and the government on the other hand were worried that should my father turn to their enemy nation and work with them, just two of his numerous inventions alone could cripple the entire nation so he was given only two choices; Work for the government or –you know the ninja rule…"

"But it was at that time that James' grandfather came to my father's rescue…"

"Combining his wealth and that of my grandfather's, he established Aeon Consults; a consulting firm that not only rendered help to the government but also to the world in general…"

"His grandfather who knew the business and political part of life like the back of his own hands handled the government and every other part of the firm, whilst he funded all of my father's research work…"

"Being free of every other duties apart from doing what he loved the most, and on top of it all, being funded unreservedly, my father became a full blown scientist, creating inventions after inventions, some useful to the military, others to the environment, and lastly to the people…"

"Thus, Aeon Consults not only rose to be the number one firm in our country, it was also amongst the top three firms on the planet…"

"Whilst our country enjoyed the economical and physical benefits of his invention, everything went smoothly and life was prime peaceful and enjoyable, up until the 'Great War' began…"

"Then the government began to pressurize my father and Mr. James Corvinus to abandon everything else they are doing and focus on providing for their military…"

"But my father wanted a peaceful negotiation and Mr. James being the outstanding mediator that he was, was ready to mediate things between these nations, but the Department of Defense who relished in having international conflicts because it brings more money fame and power to them was having none of that…"

"Two years into the war, my father was assassinated whilst Mr. James was threatened with the picture of his only descendant his safety would be guaranteed and the government wouldn't be able to touch him then…"

"But the grandson refused and was adamant on joining the military, not knowing that his grandfather was just trying to save his life…"

"But luckily for him, joining the military made the Department of Defense ease their threat from being physically but subtly assaultive to being verbally assaultive, because even though they were the major controllers of the military, the military was not something to be trifled with…"

"Furthermore, despite all their shenanigans, they were also scared of Mr.. Corvinus Snr. due to his level of influence and moreover, he had all the entire works of my father saved in a single flash drive he always protected with his life, thus, the DOD was also scared of forcing him to sell or give that drive to their enemy nation…"
