"I'm not signing these papers. We can work things out." Con read the message Janette Argon had scribbled onto the divorce papers and he chuckled to himself. He didn't even want to know what to say or do at the moment, he just knew that he would not be taking this to heart for now. Xavier still had to be watched, and not in the sense that he would have to watch Xavier or trail him around, what he really meant was that Xavier still needed support right now. Lisa was still out cold and Xavier was not taking it well. Apart from that there was also the issue of the AI Xavier had mentioned before. He had pulled him aside to ask about the AI and what Xavier had described to him had made his heart tingle a bit in recollection. It was strange, an AI dissolving into a cane and then manifesting itself in the form of a flower. To be sincere it should not be possible. All artificial intelligence needed a core. It needed a set of programs and it had to have an anchor. AI did not just come up

Con looked up, nodded his head, and went back to what he was doing. "You're not listening to me Con. I want to leave." Con sighed and stopped trying to break through the firewall. There was still too much for him to do in terms of cracking the codes, and Aubrey sounded pissed and annoyed. He didn't want her to feel like he wasn't listening to her, he was, but he wished he wasn't. She was saying something he did not like and honestly he did not want to hear it right now. "Xavier is going through a tough time now Aubrey. I don't think this is the time for this." Aubrey could feel her whole world outlook crashing right in front of her. Did she just hear that well? '"I'm not saying it because I don't care about Xavier, I'm saying it so we can clear this out together. I can't stay here if it'll affect you and Jane." Con could feel the need to tell her that he and Jane didn't really have anything serious going on right now, but he was more gentlemanly than that Aubrey VanDamne and
THE GOD OF MERCENARY'S NEW LIFE. Chapter 158: "What are we looking at here?"
Lisa opened her eyes and looked around the room she was in. It was not one of the rooms in her father's home. This place was different. "Hello?" The room remained silent and her voice bounced off the walls. "Is anyone there? Can you hear me?" The white bleakness of the room felt like a statement to her and Lisa found herself standing up from the bed. Something had been attached to her hand and she pulled it off, feeling light headed not a moment after, but being fine overall. Lisa could feel her heart racing in anticipation and maybe fear. It wasn't really fear, it was just curiosity and she really wanted to know what this place was. The floors were white, so were the tiles and the walls, and even the bed she had slept in. She felt like the only thing that had any color in this vast place and it was not a good feeling to have. "Is anyone there?! Can you hear me!" No answer came back and Lisa sat on the floor and sighed to herself. Con watched all this from the monitor of hi
THE GOD OF MERCENARY'S NEW LIFE. Chapter 159: "Con...... what did you do?"
"If she can get that, then....." Clay didn't have to finish his words for Xavier to begin nodding his head. "That's right. If Lisa is to gain mastery over her digital construct, then she can go there any minute she is in fatal danger. Her memories and mannerisms can be downloaded into a robot or something, as long as the technology is available. It's almost like she has a backup for her brain now." Xavier could hear the excitement in his own voice and he had to remind himself to calm down. What he was explaining to them was something that no one would expect them to digest easily. If he was the one, he would have also not been able to digest it that easily too. But this was his daughter they were talking about. Lisa was his little treasure, the fact she was the one experiencing this made it a whole lot easier to explain to others. To get to the point that he was now able to explain this situation to others meant he had analyzed it thoroughly himself and he knew the inner working
THE GOD OF MERCENARY'S NEW LIFE. Chapter 160: "Anything the matter?"
Lisa woke up to the sight of her father at the other side of the room. She was actually awake now and the minute Xavier noticed his daughter was awake he rushed to her bedside. Lisa looked confused and slightly disoriented and she had to get her father's help to be able to sit down properly. The minute Xavier was able to get her seating upright he released a relieved sigh. Finally, she was awake. He could tell Lisa would have a lot of questions to ask so before he was barraged by an onslaught of inquiries, he pushed some water into her hands first. "Drink some water before you ask me any questions, you've been out cold for days now and we haven't been able to get anything into you." Lisa nodded, twisting the cap on the bottle and taking a huge chug of it. She could also tell that something had happened to her but she was still feeling disoriented, she couldn't get one single thought to last in her mind for long. It scared her. She handed the bottle back to her father and sta
THE GOD OF MERCENARY'S NEW LIFE. Chapter 131: "Whatever you say Mr. Black."
"I know we said nothing is wrong with the ice core in you, but I think we might be wrong."Xavier felt like he was hearing static noise. There was nothing anyone would be able to tell him now that would actually help him dullen the apprehension he was feeling.Con was making sense, which was bad, so much so that it made him feel like screaming."Are you listening to me Xavier?""Yeah, I am."Con nodded and cleared his throat again."Lisa might not be totally out of the danger zone too. There's something else that might be in her and it's a cause for concern."Xavier turned his head to look at Con and he cocked an eyebrow up."Are you referring to the AI system she fused with?"Con nodded and Xavier sighed. His cane was already in his hand anyways so he simply tapped it on the floor and activated the AI once more.Sure enough, the blooming rose came into view and with it, the AI system also came alive. "It fused back with my cane the moment Lisa woke up. I think she's safe now."Con n
THE GOD OF MERCENARY'S NEW LIFE. Chapter 132: "There is no cure."
For the rest of the week there was an unusual silence in Xaveir's home and Con found it oddly relaxing. He and Jane were yet to talk about what they had to talk about, and he knew they had to talk about it.Jane on her own didn't seem to be in too much of a hurry to have that talk with him. She just seemed happy and content. It sort of made him speculate and then get scared immediately after.Con could feel his apprehension mounting again and he cleared his throat. There was definitely something wrong with him. If Jane was happy then he should just be happy for her and make peace with himself, what business of his was it if she was happy because of someone else or not?If she had found another man who was making her giggle as much as she did then he would only have to be happy for her. Nothing more, and nothing less."Thinking about Jane again?"Xavier watched as Con almost jumped out of his seat and he chuckled. The steaming mug of tea in his hands warmed his cold palms and anyone lo
THE GOD OF MERCENARY'S NEW LIFE. Chapter 133: "I don't like to be kept waiting, Jake."
"I've found something that can help with your speed and agility."Jake stared at the man that walked around in the room he was in."I could also help with that arm you seem to have lost. I've noticed you can't control it properly and it's pitiful, to be honest."Jake could feel even more confusion setting in the more he stared and he couldn't make any sense of it. He had been brought in here by one of the attendants. One of the huge ones that he couldn't refuse and that had been one thing that made him have a bad feeling about this place.The sights were beautiful, but there was something about this place that he couldn't put off."Are all these things going to cost me anything?"The man turned to face him and Jake noticed the vein-like lines pulsing around his skin again. Not just his skin but every part of his body. The man was tall, easily his height, he looked younger than someone who had given birth to a son who was no less imposing than he was. This man looked lithe and young,

Chapter 171: The end.
Xavier stared at the files in his hands and tried not to get too scared by them. There was information on them, more information than he would have felt comfortable ever knowing but he could see what Con was so scared of now. He might even be sure that he had managed to see the things Con had not. To begin with, this world was not what they thought it was.At least it was not all they thought it was. It was much more than they imagined and the fact that Con had somehow managed to stumble on this clearly meant the cosmos was seeking their help, or rather Con's help. Somehow somewhere there was someone or something pushing Con towards making these decisions and he could feel it now. He was sure if he told Jane and Aubrey that they would plan to eat him up alive. Both him and that thing he felt was guiding Con into making the decisions he was making. Their world was under threat, and he would be damned if he just sat back and watched it all crumble.Xavier reached for his phone and tap

Chapter 170: "That's enough."
Con watched the hackers he had hired work and he came to the conclusion that he had undoubtedly made a very huge mistake.There was little he could do in terms of making them more coperative and oddly he got the feeling that they wanted to make him frustrated. One of them full on refused to listen to his commands and Con felt the urge to give the man a sound slap at the back of his mind. He had to resist it because the others were already working and from what he could see, they were doing what he wanted them to do. That was enough for him, but what he truly wanted was their total cooperation.From the way they had abandoned their jobs to go chase after money, he knew that he couldn't use them for any of the jobs he would have wished to. Since they had the basic knowledge he would need in the people he wanted to recruit, it would have been better if they had behaved and not messed up that way. It was not like he was that desperate that he would hire them despite whatever they did, but

Jake looked out his window and tried to assess his surroundings. He could tell people were trying to hack into the cyber security of the the hotel. The alarms had gone off the moment the breach was noticed and he had spent the past one hour trying to calm himself down and not fly into a rage. The fact that whoever this was thought he could mess with him and get away with it felt funny to him.The only problem right now was the issue of intention. The hackers seemed to be aiming for the security controls to switch them off. That was what they had been trying to do in the first place and he felt they might have done it sucesfully if they hadn't diverted to start hacking away at money. If they were petty thieves then he would make them pay. He would make them pay badly for having him all worked up for nothing, but if they posed a greater problem than than that then he would have to solve that problem, probably with the aid of some thugs and torture. He just bought this hotel. It was on

Chapter 168: "I'm going up to my room."
Xavier watched as Lisa and Clay kept their eyes on him like he was performing some kind of magic trick just sitting down there and doing nothing. He could already tell that it would be a long time before they left him alone and honestly, now he was up to the challenge. There was no way he was going to let them keep him in when he already had something he wanted to do.Lisa could be dealt with. He could persuade her with treats and make her feel he should be let loose to do what he wanted because he was her father and even he would have to admit that he let her loose to do what she wanted too sometimes.Lisa would let him do what he wanted to do because he also let her do what she wanted to do at times. It was an agreement they had both reached and he was sure she would honor her part of their agreement. The one was really worried about was Clay. The fact that the younger male just stood there watching him gave Xavier a funny feeling in his stomach. He and Lisa should have done off t

Con could swear that he had thought there was a chance of Xavier calling him on the phone and offering his help.He had been expecting that for a day plus now but yet nothing had happened and he was getting skeptical. Was he wrong to expect that his comrade in arms would come to him at this moment? And was he sure that he could pull off this operation with Xavier?Con stared at the building in front of him and turned to look at the others in the car. Two of the maids had revealed themselves to be hackers specially trained by the Black family. It seemed his uncle had also believed that one day he would need the help of such people so he had gathered them, from all walks of life, which to him probably meant the prisons. The man was a cheapskate. He couldn't hire professsionals who would get his job done for him, so instead he went to the prisons and got men and women who had been arrested and convicted of various internet crimes .He had bailed them out, paid the men behind the desk eno

Lisa stared at her father and tried to assess the level of damage she had done.She had one hand over her mouth and the other helping her prop that arm up.'"When the heck did my father become ebony haired?""Language Lisa.Lisa rolled her eyes and walked over to go stand near Clay."We did this didn't we?"Clay couldn't help the chuckle that escaped his throat. Somehow he had imagined that Lisa would have more information than he would on what was happening to her father. She had asked him to promise that they would both take the fall for whatever happened and when this happened, he suspected she knew about it. No just knew about it but expected it. He would not have been surprised if Lisa expected this to happen, but it seems she had not. She was just as surprised as he was, or she was now a great actress and she was faking all this, but he could tell there was no talent for acting in Lisa so he was sure it was the first one.Lisa was shocked, the same way he had been and it was fu

Chapter 165: "Is it really hurting that much?"
"What exactly did Lisa put in to make your hair this color?"Xavier could see Jane was getting distracted already. Her eyes were gleaming as she fingered his lock of hair and he could already see the longing in her.Jane wanted to cut his hair and take it in to be studied. He could proudly say that he had taught Jane as much as he could in the art of detectiving in a science lab. He had taught her how to determine how long a piece of fabric would retain its color if dyed, what mixture of dyes to use and what colors seemed to have an affinity for each other. In part he was a fundamental aspect to the success of Jane's clothing brand and he had felt a bit disappointed when she had abandoned their lab meetings to focus on leading her company, but now he could see that the spark wasn't totally dead yet.She looked at his hair with a clinical eye, from a scientific point of view. Lisa was asleep and he had asked Clay to leave her so she could take the rest she needed. Lisa rarely slept

Chapter 164: "What's all the staring for?"
Clay left Lisa in the room and descended to the lab beneath her to check for himself how her father was doing. Maybe it was because he had been there when the man collapsed or maybe because he had been just as scared when it had all happened, but he had a deep feeling of worry for Mr Frost. There wasn't much for him to do concerning the cure Lisa had administered to her father. She seemed sure of it and it seemed the cure had worked the way she said it would.The ice core had been repaired. By a bunch of black petals. It still surprised him as to how that happened but as long as Lisa's father was out of the danger zone then he would be happy. They were in enough confusion as things stood already and more confusion was not something he wanted for any of them. What he wanted at the moment was to confirm that Lisa's father was okay, and if he was then maybe he could ask if they could run a brain scan on Lisa. She had lapsed off into thought again and it was making him feel a bit scared.

Lisa could feel her heart slam into her chest the moment she heard the question. Her face turned red and she looked away, not because she was ashamed but because she was embarrassed."How the hell can you pop that kind of question on me so casually? Do I look like I have someone on my mind?""You look like you've been hella distracted and when girls are at your age they tend to think of boys twenty four seven. Can you see the reason for my curiosity now?"Lisa rolled her eyes and noticed how close she and Clay were. Closeness between the both of them had never bothered her, Clay was like a brother to her and she was like a sister to him, but he had grown these past few months and she wouldn't say she had failed to notice the changes in herself too. They had both grown a lot and somehow this kind of closeness made her extra aware of that.Everything around them was changing. Not just the climate or global warming, but mostly a lot of the other things, the more important things, the peo
