Human Binary: The Unrivalled King of Technology

Chapter 198 - The Unrival King.

Two darts whistle through the air, flying at extreme speed toward Ji and Mata. Though the darts attack came out of the blue. The two didn't for once let down their guard. Instantly, Ji twisted her body at an impossible angle and avoid the attack by an inch. While Mata tried to dodge the attack she was a fraction late. The dart grazed past her shoulder.

"Do you understand now?"

Mata and Ji looked at the young man with their mouth slackened. Albeit Mata still looking at her shoulder. The sharp graze of the dart was distinct. None of them knew how the attack was done. It just came out of the blue. Mata glance at Ji only to see her staring at the young man with a somewhat conflicted look. 

"Is this what you call perception and…" 

"Yes. Your talent is a little higher than the average person's. However, your state of mind and perception gives you an edge. And let me tell you, Ji. Perception is what you need to survive in a deadly situation. Like what just happened now." The young man turned to Mata and continued. "Though your talent is higher than Ji." Sighed. "Your reaction is average at best. To put it simply, your reaction is mediocre."

"Then why did you keep me alive then when my talent is mediocre," Mata asked calmly. She before of this young man. Her arrogance means nothing.

"Your talent of course. If you don't have talent that piques my interest. You'll be long dead." He answered calmly.

"If I get you right, you want me for my perception and mind training while you want her for her martial talent." Ji raised her brow slightly. 

"No!" The young man shook his head. "I don't want you nor need you. I'm just interested in you that all. I have enough talent already. Having you or not doesn't mean anything to me." He paused for a few seconds looking at their face one at a time.

"However, since you've piqued my interest. You have the choice to either join my knight or leave."

With this, the room descended into perfect silence. Mata glanced at Ji, however, Ji was lost in her thought. She relaxed her back on the chair and looked at the young man. She squinted her brow, twisting her lips lightly. This wasn't what they expected. 'Did he perhaps want us to join him and slowly get the necessary information about PAR form and when he's done? He will finally show his fangs.' Ji's brain was running various possibilities. However, none of them have a good ending. 

'If I say no won't it get on his nerve and kill us.' Ji grumbled in her mind.

"Ji! What are you thinking! Are you seriously considering working for the enemy?" Mata screamed. Her sharp gaze fixed on Ji. Hmm! Ji furrowed and looked at Mata with a somewhat surprised expression. She wanted to beat some sense into Mata but sighed and avert her gaze. 

Seeing this, Mata's fury burns fiercely. She flared her nose, ground her teeth, and pointed at Ji. "You… You. So, you can betray PAR for your neck…" She sniffed, water clouding her eyes. She slowly shook her head and gave a bitter laugh. Her pupil darkened, lowering her head. "After the death of my parent. I look up to you. Sometimes, I took you as my mother…." She sniffed, swallowing hard. Her chest tightened. She was choking staying inside the same room with Ji.

"I guess in the face of death, the true nature of humans would unveil… You're such a disappointment to--"

Pa!

A resounding sound echoed throughout the room. Meanwhile, the young man rests his back on the chair, crossing one leg over the other, and watches the scene in amusement. Mata couldn't believe what just happened. She blinked her eyes, turn her head slowly, and looked at Ji, touching her chick. They stared at each other for a couple of seconds with blinking. Mata opens her mouth but the word won't come out. She blinked rapidly, her expression going pale. 

"Do you think everything must go your way? Or perhaps you think where you are today was because of your hard work, right" Ji scoffed shaking her and avoiding her gaze. She swallowed hard, lowering her head and her neck appearing to shrink. She seems to have aged a couple of decades.

"The world is way more deadly than what you can ever think of. Talent!?" She sneakered. "Who cared for talent if you're six feet below. Hmm… Do you know how many threats I had to face for you to have such a peaceful environment for you to train and show your talent? Those gene serum, Where do you think it came from. PAR.?" She looked at Mata with the corner of her eyes purse her lips and took a deep breath. "PAR. The most dangerous place in Beta. Full of schemes and hypocrites. Most people there, are wolves in sheep's clothing."

"I won't say much. There are things you won't understand unless you experience yourself. At this juncture…. I believe you have the right to fight your own battle. As a friend to your late parent. I think I've done my best." Ji straightened her back and looked at the young man. The slight sorrow in her eyes faded immediately. 

Meanwhile, Mata froze on the spot. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Her heart trembled, blood rushed to her face. She swallowed the lumps in her throat. She found it difficult to breathe. Her eyes turned red, water filling her eyes socket. She took a deep breath but her lungs failed to process oxygen. She didn't care if her lungs failed. But the continuous words of Ji's rang in her brain. She tried to hold the water from coming down. She tried, she tried but to no avail. Everything was now obvious to her.

"A-Aunty Ji. A-Aunty Ji. I'm sorry." Mata fell on her kneel and gripped Ji's leg. "Please, don't leave me." She wailed, eye turning, sniffing continuously. She dipped her head into Ji's cloth and held her leg tightly. "I'm sorry. I don't know…. Please if you leave me. I'll all be alone."

"Please, I will do anything for you to forgive me. A-Aunt—No…. no... Mother." She sniffed heavily; tears welled up in her eyes. Her high-pitched cry filled the room. She chewed her lower lips, tightened her hand on her clothes, and shook it slightly. "—Please… it—"

"Enough! Don't realize you're a lady. You shouldn't behave like that in front—" Ji snapped, looking at Mata's face but a slight smile crept onto her face.

 "I won't stop until you forgive me." Her voice increased by an octave. At once, Ji rolled her eyes and used her right palm to cover Mata's mouth. "Fine. I forgive you." What could she do? She had been taking care of Mata since she was barely ten. She is more or less her daughter. 

"Really!"

"Yes."

Immediately, Mata stood up and used the back of her palm to clean her eyes, smiling at Ji's though her heart still ache at her ignorant out bust. However, since she'd got a second chance. She won't miss it. She took her seat and notice the young man staring at her. Though she couldn't see the face of the young man. She felt his gaze pickling against her skin. She averted her gaze, looking at the ceiling. 

"What a show." The young man nodded. "That's---" Hmm! He looked at Ji and continued. "Since the family reunion is over. What is your decision? You've already wasted a lot of my time. So…"

"What do you want from us" Ji questioned. She wasn't as ignorant as Mata.

"You can leave." The young man waves his hand. 

What!

Ji widened her eyes. She stood on her feet, flabbergasted by the sudden turn of event. She stared and Mata. But only to see Mata shrug her shoulder. 'What useless kid.' She grumbled in her mind.

"Sorry if I overstep my boundary. It's just that I don't' want to betray what I've worked for, for my entire life." Ji quickly responded.

"Do I look I care about PAR or what nut?" The young man didn't bother to turn back. "Thango is my domain. I haven't thought about conquering Beta. However, the moment I think about it, that's the moment Beta falls into my grasp. I won't scrupulous method to dominate. That method is for weaklings. But I'm no weakling…."

"I'm the King." 

The room crept into still silence. The atmosphere was heavy and it can be cut with a knife. Mata and Ji's hearts were racing. Hearing the dominating word from this young man made everything bow to his will. If other people say this overbearing word. They would think he or she was insane. But from this young man, it felt like heaven and earth bear Will to his command. They agree to the decree. The aura coming from the young was magnificent and invisible radiance shrouded the young man, making everything pale to his radiance. No…. No… they can't be compared. Comparing something as holy and divine as this was a taboo to heaven, earth. And all in all, to the unrivaled King. 

"Sir, we follow your command." Ji bowed.
