    "You did it," the King repeats. I take it with me to get to the main motherboard. "Wait, you''re going to test it? Here? Right now?" Ss all but panies.


    "Duh.


    Dun,


    "What about theptops?"


    "This is myptop."


    This is our entire business setup and collective pack census. If this leaves us vulnerable we''re f***, he growls. "Nothing I''ve ever made left anything vulnerable. I control it from here. Who''s going to let anyone in?" I ask "You control it," he points at me usingly. "Not us. You. You can let the wolves in. My King


    He looks over at the King as if he were asking him to do something about me. I turn to the King and shrug. The decision is his to make. I''m not taking offense to his outburst. Ss isn''t wrong. I just don''t care to do what he''s implying. Old me wouldn''t have hesitated. I also wouldn''t want to upset the big guy any more than I already have without provocation. He stares back at me without saying a word for a long while. "Put the chip in," he orders.


    My King, Ss growls. "It was bad enough that we let her build here,"


    "That was an order, Pernicious," he keeps his eyes on me.


    "Are you sure? I don''t want to turn this into a headacheter. We''ve been chill this past couple of days and I am in a great mood, right now. This isn''t hurting my feelings or anything. He has a point," we stare at one another for an ufortable amount of time. "Perry," he growls standing straighter. I almost jumped out of my skin.


    "Yeah?" I step back with my hands up.


    "Shut the f****k up and plug that in," he demands threateningly.


    "Yes, sir," I spin around to do as he asks. Ss lets out a heavy sigh as I swap the chips. I close my eyes and pustrit into ce.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    The entire thing flickers and I turn back to my desk. I go over to it to find the bar is asking for a system reboot I look over at the King and he gives me a nod. I hit enter and everything starts to shut down. The lights all turn off and thene back on. I quickly write what to say to the King so he can set it up. That way Ss stops being a **b*h. "System updateplete. Hello, my name is the 1. Squared. I am your personal Al, assistant. Would you like to begin your primary user profile?" the voice echoes in the room from every speaker.


    the King answers.


    "Excellent. Before we begin, repeat some phrases so I can store your voice recognition profile," she begins to say words and phrases for him to repeat. He goes back to my desk to set it up. Once she locates where he is, all the other speakers turn off. "Is that your voice?" Ss asks.


    "Yeah, Darren said 1 already did everything for him. Might as well. I shrug.

    I''m sorry, but I stand by what I said, he tucks his arms behind his back with his chin held high. Ss wouldn''t have been a terrible friend growing up. In fact, he might have kept me out of trouble. I love that he saw something that didn''t seem right and didn''t hold back to make himself heard. "It''s cool. I still think you''re the traitor, I say loud enough for everyone to hear. His nose res but one person flinches. **** head tilts and his smile falters. "Oh, s***t. That actually worked," I whisper trying not tough. "Who is that?" That''s my girlfriend''s brother," he whispers.


    Oh,


    I take a step back. Tm sorry,"


    "That wasn''t t on you, Little Wolf. That was all me, he cranks his neck popping it loudly.


    "I could be wrong," but just as I say that the guy tries to run for the door. I mean it wasn''t exactly a subtle flinch. The guy almost leaped out of his skin. Amateur move. Seriously, the prince is sl***y.


    I kick my foot out hitting his ankle. It makes a squishy pop as he belly flops onto the floor with a bounce. His legs rock forward hard enough to tap the back of his head. The King and both startughing when he cries out and the guards surround him. I didn''t mean to kick him that hard. I guess I don''t know my strength as well as I thought I did now that I share some of the King''s power.

    "That was clean," he says and continues to work on theputer "No one should be running in here in the first ce."


    Ss shakes his head and goes over to the guards. That was clean I''m not even going to unpack that. I don''t think he knows what''s going on


    Was she involved?" Ss asks the guy on the floor.


    The f***** just smiles at him as he''s taken away. Ss groans and storms out after them. I didn''t even realize he had a girlfriend. I wonder what she looks like? He looks like he''s into some very high-maintenance girls.


    -That''s your best friend and youughed at him. I tell the King


    -Iughed at the guy. What are you talking about?- his tone is dismissive and I understand. I want to y with my newputer system as well, but that was rude on his behalf.


    -I think that was your mole.- I inform him. He immediately turns around to look at me.


    "Ah, ah. Finish so I can see where your brother is taking the money. I''ve alreadye across some of his trails and they''re very well protected,"


    "Not only will


    Can you stop him?"


    will I stop him. I''m taking it back. See how he likes it when the board and his friends turn on him," I growl,


    "I am going to find out what''s going on with Ss. You better be in my room when I get back," he says and finishes answering the questions on the screen. "Do you need me to do this?"


    No.


    I can get into this system. I created it and I handed user rights to you. I''ll teach Ss how to create Employee User LD.S for those who are going to keep working your dome," You think I''m keeping this ce?" he asks.


    "I would. You might also want to expand it. You''re going to need a more nationwide economic system if you''re keeping up with the other races. Your can''t just disappear off the face of the world. The world already knows you''re still up and running. This," I point at theputer. "Is going to put you on the map. Making history. Even your cksmith will be a legend. He''s the only other person besides me that knows how to make these I made it fancy so those who have the money to pay them try to make it nicer." for Chapter 67


    "Is that why you used this design?"


    That''s your trademark. Own it. It''s both traditional and new. You''re wee,"
