Chapter 40: Realizing something important?
Anderes Shade, with his sinister brown eyes, looked directly into Aiden's deep black eyes, sporting a sinister smile and speaking in an authoritative tone as he sat arrogantly with one leg crossed over the other.
"Okay, little guy, let's down to business; no, I should at least call you by name given how calmly you are sitting in front of me, isn't that right?"
Aiden, who had first seen his sinister smile and laughing like a maniac without any care, knew this conversation was not going to be a pleasant one for him however he still kept his calm face aside in inwardly thinking.
'This person is so shameless for targeting an 11-year-old; a normal child might have been deceived by his false friendliness.'
But he is also a little relieved that the man named Anderes Shade is one of the leaders of the UEF because he knows if he had gone to the company his sister would have outright denied him even if she had to make an enemy out of government given her mom also had agreed to not joining them before her death.
He believes that the leader is not stupid enough to talk directly to his Aunt May about this matter, as he ranked above the general of the eastern military army (5-star general) and still had to follow the rules.
So he should have known about her personality; it must be the reason instead of going to the company, this shameless fucker had chosen the easy route and openly aimed at him given he is only 11 years old, and trying to manipulate him.
He didn't reply to his indirect praise and listened to what the leader was about to say while knowing what Anderes was going to discuss with him.
Anderes Shade seeing Aiden didn't answer expected that, as this is not meant to be answered, he is only informing him that he acknowledged him, also hoping to see some reaction on his face being praised by him.
So he conversed in the same authoritative voice with a glint in his brown eyes.
"Aiden Cross, have you decided when you will be joining our genius program where you belong?"
Aiden felt frustrated hearing him speak as if he could easily control him like a pawn, as he wasn't mentioning the previous rejection they got when his mom was alive.
He thought it was only natural that his mom was not here, so their company's power weakened a lot, and their stock prices also plummeted significantly.
Still, it's a miracle that no rebellion had happened in the company, as they are loyal to his mother however he is not naive to think there wouldn't be someone with those intentions, but without major support, those one or two wouldn't have any effect on the company, so they had to hide their fangs.
Anderes targeted them when they were weakened, he wouldn't forget about being sure to make them pay for arrogance after the evolution, so he answered in his calm voice.
"Sir, I would join the program after completing my high school I wanted to enjoy high school like a normal child."
Anderes felt a little disappointed listening to say he wanted to enjoy a normal high school but how he easily accepted it according to him, the World Evolution would occur in 2035, which is ten years later than Aiden is aware of.
He would have ample time to shape Aiden into a soldier who would obediently follow his orders, like others. However, why should he yield to an 11-year-old child? Although it may seem reasonable, he wanted to test the limits of how far he could push Aiden, all while maintaining the same smile on his face.
"Your demands are reasonable, but why should I accept them?" He paused there for a second, continuing with a sinister glint on his face.
"I also know that you have an older sister."
As Aiden heard him mention his big sister, his mind went blank momentarily as he processed the implications of what had just been revealed, causing his heart rate to increase and his palms to sweat, but his reaction was not what the leader had expected.
A swirling can be seen in Aiden's deep black eyes, he looked at the leader sitting in front of him with a cold smile on his previous calm face as he said in a cold tone without any respect in his voice.
"Sir, do you think it's a wise decision to push me and threaten me with my sister's life with an 11-year-old child ?"
He didn't expect a response and continued.
"I could make you the most hated man on the planet for threatening a minor and manipulating him to join the government program that he agreed to join after completing his high school normally."
He began to laugh a little and continued in a cold voice with an emotionless face.
"Every single hospital, pharmacy, and medicine we sell. I wouldn't leave a chance to criticize you and trust me, it's not a joke for an 11-year-old child. I will definitely do it if you force me."
Anderes is listening to the crazy words coming out of the 11-year-old child whom he had judged previously to be cautious.
After mentioning his elder sister, he felt a little intimidated; it would definitely bring his reputation to the ground and affect his plans, so wouldn't be that big of a risk for a single child.
He can tell by just looking at his eye and his cold voice; that he is not joking right now, but he is still not convinced, as empty words are not a threat to him.
He heard his same cold voice once again while having a smile on his face.
"Isn't it wise to just wait for a few years for me to willingly join your genius program?" And don't worry about the evidence," while he showed the watch he was currently wearing on his left wrist, given to him by his Aunt May for an emergency.
It would send his live location and video recording of the conversation from the moment he pressed the button to his aunt for his safety and he had already pressed the emergency button while sitting on his chair.
Anderes, hearing his previous words, had decided to persuade his elder sister peacefully while giving them some benefit; they shouldn't reject letting him join, but after seeing the watch on his wrist and mentioning the evidence, he decided to give him to his demand feeling little angry outsmarted by a child and think to himself.
'At the end of it all, I would be sure to put a lease on his arrogant kid.'
He had also decided, after becoming the master of the planet, that he came to know about it from his father, whom he had already killed using poison, fearing he would survive until the world evolved and increased his life span.
Knowing how cunning his father was and he didn't want the world would be like after the world's evolution he only knew he could become powerful and use supernatural powers and for thousands of years, he couldn't take any chances when the ruling the world was at stake.
He would definitely kill this kid after making use of him, as someone intelligent and genius like that shouldn't be left alive, Anderes said with a sinister smile on his face.
"Okay, I accept your conditions, but you are not allowed to travel outside the Eastern Union Territory during this period, I will be keeping an eye on you. Don't do anything stupid, Aiden Cross; you will regret it for the rest of your life."
He said one last sentence, releasing his murderous intent, " I will leave the recording for you to take care of because it wouldn't work after the grace period I have given you."
He left without waiting for his response, waking outside the office.
Aiden, seeing his back walking outside to the office, used his king's eyes ability on him as his deep black eyes changed their color to light golden for just a moment but they quickly reverted back to their original color.
A transparent blue screen appeared in front of his eye, but he didn't focus on this right now, as currently he was feeling enraged just thinking about how Anderes had threatened him with his sister's life; he just wanted to torture him and kill him in the most painful way possible.
He knew that the time was not right, but he still wasn't able to control his emotions and threatened him that he usually wouldn't do it if it wasn't the last option. Still, everything worked out well.
He also learned an important lesson by being outraged by his Anderes words that he always wouldn't have to be calm and collect something, sometimes violence and threat are the right answers.
His way of peacefully resolving things is not right in this world, most definitely not when the world evolves, he had to change his flawed thinking and use force when it was the easiest and most simple option.
He didn't know about the rest of the leaders of the United Earth Federation however he had already sworn to himself to kill Anderes in the most painful way possible for threatening his family after the world's evolution.
When the laws crumble and strength is the only thing that would decide what's right and what's wrong, with swirls in his deep black eyes and a dangerous smile on his attractive face.
If others looked at him right now would give them the feeling of looking at the most dangerous yet beautiful child they had seen in their life, as his look had already surpassed the standards of the earth.
