Chapter 70 - Mysterious master

Altren just peered at him with his mouth wide open. "

"Altren? You listening to me?" he waved his hand in front of his face. He did not even have any explicit reaction to this. "Hello? Is anyone still there? Is your brain dead?"

Altren blinked. "Wait..... I think we are talking about two different things now."

"That's obvious you idiot. What were you asking about? Who is this master you talk about?"

"Your master!"

"Did you watch some kinky video? You're acting crazy. I have no master, you idiot. I am my own person,"

Altren nodded and then shook his head. "Your brother said that you were being controlled by a mysterious guy in the snakehead gang,"

"Wait, wait, did you just mention my brother?"

"Yea, I met him. He's the one who revealed your identity. He looked so handsome in his super suit~ I never knew he was so muscular before. How did I even miss that? His biceps looked huge~" he giggled with a giddy look on his face.

Kang snapped his fingers in front of his face. "Stop getting distracted. Where did you meet my brother? Was he okay? Did he look sad? I hope he is not missing me too much. I left him so abruptly without a word…..he must have been so worried," he bit into his nails anxiously prancing in front of him.

Altren caught his shoulders and made him sit on the bed. "Sit down and listen. I met him on the rooftop while on the mission. He kind of saved me~ he literally swooped in and carried me away in his arms. It was so heroic."

"Back to the topic please," he glared at him.

Clearing his throat Altren nodded. "Well, he sought me out because he is searching for you. The poor guy has been searching for you in all the hospitals. When he couldn't find, you he went to the snakehead gang's old hideout. Thankfully, he could not find them. If he had gotten in contact with them it would have been very dangerous,"

Kang listened to this nervously. 'Brother met was searching for me.... oh my god, I miss him so much. Should I escape this place and go to him...' he shook his legs rapidly.

Altren caught his thighs and stopped his nervous shaking. "I can see your plan clearly in your eyes. You can't escape from here. It's too dangerous now. There are a few people who doubt your identity. If you escape now you will be caught for sure and thrown into prison. Not only you, your brother also will be punished,"

Kang froze. "h-he... he will...."

He gave him an obvious look. "' you both are robbers! Did you forget that...."

Kang bit his lips until he tasted blood. "What should we do..... I don't want Gwyn to be punished.'

He had firsthand experience of what it feels like to be imprisoned somewhere… it was an empty and lonely feeling. He did not want Gwyn to ever experience that in this lifetime…

"He might seem like a bad guy, but he is really kind. He helps the neighborhood kids with their education fees. He even feeds the homless there. He is not a bad person."

Altren smiled dazzlingly. "I know, that's why I fell in love with him. Thinking about it he is like a Robin hood. Villainous and heroic in his own way..."

Kang just gave him a disgusted look. 'Look at this bastard talking shit....'

Altren suddenly grabbed his hand. "Kang, do i have your approval to date your brother. I will make sure I will protect him with my life and I will make sure….'

"Die!" he punched his face.

The young hero topped down to the ground and laid there on his back. "Why not. I am a great person. I'm handsome, rich and i have a very good personality. Why don't you approve."

"Brain? Where is that? Stop veering away from the topic. You mentioned someone named master right. Why do you think I was informed to him,"

"Like I said your brother claimed that you were a part of snakehead gang and that you were that 'master's subordinate." Altren climbed into the bed. "You might be brainwashed and your memories might be clouded with powers. But you can get glimpses of it if you try..."

"I don't....i don't know...

It was the original Kang's' memory. he had no access to it in the first place. He scratched his head thinking about the name master. It was a weird naming choice to be honest.

Suddenly his mind flashed with a weird image of a guy in a black three piece suit. He looked about his height and was sitting on a chair with a whip in hand. "Kang…"

His head started to throb.

"hissss...." he held his head tightly. 'what was that? some BDSM porno intro? it was weird indeed….'

"What's wrong? Did you remember anything.." Altren expectantly looked at him.

"No, just thought of some weird shit.. ahhh! my head is aching so badly..." he laid back on the bed. The pain was blinding even when he was stabbed he did not experience such pain. 'System! What is going on? My head... it feels like it's going to explode!'

{'Warning host experiencing extreme emotions. Emergency protocol, activating'}

'What emergency protocol! What is that! hey! answer me!'

{Emergency protocol activating in 3... 2....'}

'System! What is that fucking protocol!'

The pain in his head was getting too much. Only a ringing was heard in his ears. His eyes were clouded with unshed tears. He groaned loudly clenching his jaws tight.

It was like his head was about to explode.

{'1.....'}

The pain suddenly eased into a slight throbbing pain in the back of his head.

Kang let out a breath he was holding.

"Kang! Shit, what was that! You weren't breathing!" Altren pulled him up and gently patted his back.

Kang just panted there. 'System, you fucking bastard, you better tell me what this emergency protocol is and why my head was about to explode?!'

{'Host accidentally accessed some of the original owner's memories. So it was protocol to either blast the host's head or to lock the memories away,'}

'System you bitch! You tried to kill me! ahh, I hate you so much! You just wait. If you ever kill me, I will be reborn as a system and fucking hunt you down. I swear!'

{'System 101 is but an automated system, host. My main coding program is in the cloud. There is no destruction,'}

"Ah you infuriating bastard!!"

Someone shook his shoulders. "Fuck, you... you're talking to someone? Kang... was it 'master'?"

"Master my ass, I was talking to myself, you asshole. Why you ask. Cuz I'm crazy!"
