She didn't let him say a word before she turns around and left. Owen inputs the memory card into his laptop and looks at the latest videos taken. He clicks on it and starts to watch it while eating the side dishes since he was finished with his meal. As he watched the incidents that happened on the laptop, he couldn't help but gently seat back into his chair with a smug smile on his face.
His AI rose to stand by his side and watches the video too smiling as she realised what it is about.
"Tell me, isnt this going to be fun?"
"I think it will be more fun than intended." His AI responds.
As if his uncle was watching him, he gets an incoming call from him. Owen stares at the screen and let it ring for a while before accepting the call.
"Did you watch the press conference we just held?" His uncles tone was sharper compared to the tone he used when talking to the media and it made Owe. laugh.
"Come on Uncle, wont you speak nicely to your poor cousin? You even shed tears for me. If I knew it would be this easy to make you cry, I would have let you attempt to murder me a long time ago." He pauses the video on the laptop and rewinds it to a particular place, letting his finger hover on the play button.
"Dont bore me with silly talks. The banquet is in two nights time. Grandfather has told me to inform you that we will postpone you entering the ancestors hall to after the banquet. After the banquet, we will give you the date." He grunts as Gray tells him something and then unwillingly adds. "Dont do stupid things and attend the banquet." He then quickly hangs up while Owen simply stares at the phone with an amused expression.
He cocks his head to the side and tells his AI. "Too bad my uncle is in such a hurry. I was going to play him a very short yet interesting voice clip." He saves the videos and removes the memory card, placing it in his mini safe.
"Two nights? That isn't far ahead. Will you go?"
Owen stares at the screen of his laptop. "Of course I will. I have to. Didnt you hear that I have to attend." He should give them a good show and let them know he isn't the Owen they were used to ordering around.
His AI watched his expression and shakes her head.
Doesn't everyone always fall victim to it?
This world… there are too many unfathomable things and persons.
Sometimes, you think highly of yourself and expect that you will never go in one direction. When you find yourself there, you finally start to realise how naive you were. It isnt about being sure of yourself alone. Training your mind and body should also come first.
You have to be sure that if you are faced with such situation or thing, will you be able to overcome it?
Owen was making a presentation of the information he found about the modelling competition when he got Boss A's incoming call.
Clearing his throat, he answers the call.
"Owen my man, I have found the lady." Boss A informs happiness in his tone. He chucks down his beer and signals one of his men to leave.
"Wow..that is so fast." He tells the man. He knew from reading the book that boss A has a lot of connection and can find almost anyone or anything but he didnt think it would actually be this fast. "Where is she?"
"Right here in city A. But this is a bit tricky. She works at a high end club and just anyone cant be let in unless you have a VIP card or you come for business." He explains pushing aside the pile of information one of his men had brought for him.
One didnt need need to be told before understanding the type of business boss A meant. "Which club is that?" He begins to open the drawers on his left knowing that Owen usally keeps VIP cards given to him by people he helped or people who needed his help for shrewd things in the left drawer. He packs out some cards and waits for boss A's response.
"I am not sure if you know House of Maniac. It is owned by a man from the fifteenth family." Boss A didnt like this man as they had once gotten in a fight with his men and he had used his connections of being in the fifteenth family to his advantage. He could still remember how he had suffered from his hands back then.
As if he was being blessed by the heavens, he could see the gold sides of the card right in front of him. 'HM' was the logo written on it. He smiles and thanks Boss A before hanging up and waiting for the boss to send him the womans new information.
"Why do you think she would change her name?"
His AI shrugs her shoulder. How was she supposed to know that?
Owen turns his head to look at her. "No idea?"
"Young master I am your AI, not everyones AI. How am I to know that?"
Owen nods his head. He had expected her to know eveything since she is like a computer but he had forgotten that she was designed just for him.
"Besides, I also level up, as you level up. There are some things I will be able to do for you once your level rises."
Owen picks the card for House of Maniac and returns the remaining ones. The reason Owen hadnt used this cards was because the man who gave it to him was a shrewd young master his age from the fifteenth family. He knew that if he were to make use of this card, he would have to help him with something. But, Owen didnt feel heavy with any burden at the moment. His help system had been dormant and he only had the god of death system. He wouldn't feel obliged to help even if he asked for his help.
"Now, time to start my mission." He picks the phone to call Joy but his AI places her hand on his to stop him. Giving her a questioning look, she looks directly into his eyes and informs.
"A mans limit should be known before starting any journey."
