"Thank you," the man replied sounding excited over the advice he got from his boss.

Liam held the nail cutter in his hand and stared at it wondering what sort of secret he will find in it.
He placed it on the table where he had his tools for dismantling it to find the little memory card he placed in it.
None of this could be found in this world. He used advanced technology to do most of his things, that way, he won't be suspected and all his acquired information will stay with him.
Unless he wants someone else to know or see it. The little memory card was a so small that someone will easily dismiss it's existence in the nail cutter along with the microphone, the camera and other things.
He opened it and he placed the memory card into the card reader he made for it and inserted it into his computer.
The large screen of his underground workroom room immediately began playing a video.
It showed how he turned the camera on and gave the man. When the main part of the video began to show after he forwarded the video, he sat down on a swivel chair in front his very advanced computer.
His whole body tensed when one of the men he sent in got killed with multiple bullets in his chest when he got scared after entering the place and tried to run away towards the gate.
This was more brutal than he thought it was. He was no angel and he was not doing this to save the life of those in pain but he hated the fact that something was happening somewhere he could not gain access to.
He could not find about that research institute even after traveling through time over and over almost losing his life countless times.
That institute was not a good institute in anyway. In his past, he sent a drone into the place but it seems they made an invisible blanket over the place to prevent every type of invasion.
He will need to find out how the man got out alive. That place was worse than a prison. He had lost men to that institute and also almost lost his life.
That institute was the only place in this world he could not gain access to and it was connected one way or the other to the Royal family and to Rose.
He was willing to lose his men and his life to destroy the institute along with the people that set it up.
Someone was controlling it and as far as he knew, he might actually not be the only person in this world who does not belong here at this time.
If someone from the future arrived in A city and started the institute with the help of the Royal family and made it impenetrable, then he had to get ready because this will be a potential enemy to Rose.
He watched how advanced everything was in the institute. The institute had to have someone with knowledge of the technology of the future.
It will take further watching to guess who the boss was. He took a sip from the glass of water he had on a stool beside him and kept his eyes on the screen.
This was a footage of months worth, it will take a while for him to watch it and also do other things he had to.

Rose began rethinking the effectiveness of her decision and her mother's command for her to return to the palace. Now this was not very comfortable.
It was expected and very unavoidable but she wished people will get used to her presence fast and mind their own business.
That way she might feel the joy of having a little amount of her privacy protected because right now, it seems there was none.
She had gone through the file Liam sent to her and the revelation of all the large and small power groups made her both scared and surprised.
The Royal University has been in existence for centuries and some of the groups are deep-rooted.
Others were not and those that weren't, were the new ones which she knew will hardly survive in the university.
Those groups will seize to exist as soon as all it's members graduate from the university.
From the information, any group made that is not acknowledged and accepted by the other larger groups will have to seize its existence.
The strongest among all the groups is a group of mainly nobles from star city. They were called by different names by different people.
She continued reading about the few cults, fraternities and other secret and open societies in the school.

She has not eaten in any cafeteria in the university because she did not trust that she will be okay in the cafeteria.
As she sat to eat, the head of a minor group tired to talk to her but he could not get past the guards.

She got visited by Liam later that night but the moon was not up in the moon and she had fallen asleep due to the busy day she had in school and the assignment she had to do.
Liam walked to her bed and sat down. He reached for her face and ran the back of her fingers from her forehead down to her chin.
He bent to her and pressed his lips against hers with her chin held between his fingers. Her lips was soft and warm.
Rose was forced to wake up due to the sudden touch of her face and her lips.
She had been trying hard not to fall asleep when she did so she was not sleeping deeply.
She did not hate the warm feeling of his lips on hers and she did not make any attempt to stop it despite the hesitation she felt.
She told herself continuously as she parted her lips to give him access, that she was his wife and he had every right.
Liam pulled away and sat up. "So you were awake," he said as he got up from her bed gently cleaning the wetness on his lips.
Rose swallowed. She did not expect him to stop just when she felt he was about the take it to the other level.
"You are here," she stated the obvious after clearing her throat but her voice still came out a little hoarse.
"Yes, I am. How was your day?"
"Hectic. I was too busy with school work today. I was given an assignment that I had to do after dinner. I was too tired to avoid falling asleep."
"I guess you should keep sleeping then. I will call you tomorrow," he told her in order to give her time to sleep.
"No, what we have before us is more important than sleep," she said as she stood up.
She walked to the living area and sat down and turning the lights on.
Liam walked behind her in a way that he could avoid casting shadows on the window of her room.
The curtains were down but it won't be hard to notice his shadow from outside.
"You should get darker colors or thicker curtains," he told her as he sat down.
"Oh sure. The rain haven't fallen yet," Rose said remembering the joke he made about time traveling as she sat down.
"It will start soon. I might be forced to spend the night here, if it does because it will fall heavily," Liam replied as he pulled out his smartphone.
"I want to know how my mother got such huge amount of gold even when there was recession and people were suffering."
"I have contacted my father for that information but he did not tell me. The information is not stored anywhere but with him."
"What if I talk to him about it. I could ask him to tell me where she got the gold from."
"I will set up a meeting. You have turned me into a secret assistant who does not get paid."
"You will get paid when you become king."
He laughed as he tapped on the screen of his phone.
"Your phone, I have never seen one like it," Rose suddenly voiced her observation.
"I made it specially for myself when I took over a company. They made your phone. I wanted to make a phone that is unique. I designed it and made it myself."
"You can make phones too? That's cool."
"Yes. I have information from the future."
"Future? What do you mean?"
"I told I am a time Traveller."
Rose laughed over his joke only to frown immediately. She glanced towards the window of her bed room. It was raining.
She got up and walked to the window. This morning, she did not forget to check the weather forecast and a rainfall was not expected at all. How is this happening then?
It was obviously raining heavily. She gave him a questioning look as she returned to where she sat.
"How was that possible?" she asked.
"I told you I know the future."
