"Seriously?" Hailing is walking his way home from a convenience store with his grandma who didn't went with his parents to foreign. She stayed here believing that she doesn't have much time left for her life so she will stay with her grandchild watching him grow in her last months. Well it's also true that his parents will often come back to see his progress as said by Nara Lamperouge (A Government Official of Rank 5, secretly The Leader of Gangster's Paradise which is led by his son actually, Kyosake Lamperouge.) about his talent in things other than studies that he barely mentioned but quickly trustworthy.
Right now it's the day before festival and Hailing and other students have prepared all the things for school. At Cia's apartment, Andre was looking at her list that she wrote on the glass board. "Hey angel, tell me one thing, it's was just my luck that I got my huge salary and now we have a good way of life as well as with Magentanias but if I don't think things would be easy for you if Ark wouldn't be your friend." He looked at the cleaner robot which is doing it's thing very neatly and the table double sided hand that was holding a book up for Cia. "You mean I wouldn't be able to build a proper project, papa?" , "Yes in the past you have created many good things but they were all made up of scraps and hence worked once or twice then breaks down, because you lacked material and creativity that Ark has. Ark got everything that you ever needed. Tell me Cia, what was your plan earlier when you haven't met Ark." She is just a 6 year old child in the end. Not able to make a proper project which inspires her could dramatically affect her at this age. Sure she got a very good and responsible brain but.... there shouldn't be a single child to meet the end. I don't mean it that way.
"Then I would make every single project myself. With scraps and junk, I would do whatever I could. Even if it breaks down a thousand times, I would make my imagination come true a millennia times."
Andre's eyes widened, he saw a discipline and determination same as mountains and sky have. This is the thinking of a soldier at the boarder. Andre is in deep thoughts. Just from where does this type of mind came? Only reading some philosophical books can't grant a great mind. One need to apply it or atleast understand the uses. Cia right now have something that most of the people lack their whole life and couldn't move forward from there judgement and insecurities. In the world of darkness, for Andre, a fireworks happened.
He goes to the bedroom and sat down thinking why he never understood something so simple? "One can only move forward if he has nothing else to do. Why stay at pointless things when it give nothing but confusion." Such simple things and most people ignores it. World sure is weird.
Ark was training with Zhenwu , his martial art teacher. He had already done many things till now like doing the homework, designing some random ideas and playing games. Now while observing Zhenwu's moves, he cal only think one thing, "Gorrilas sure are impressive." He said while looking at his teacher. "What did you say?" , "ah! Nothing! I was just wondering how you learned all these moves and know what to throw which one? Isn't this a little too complicated?" , "yet again , you asked a very important question , Ark. Many people think that martial art is about learning but it's actually about being creative. I never learned any complicated moves. Martial art is like chemistry, with Basics mastered you make more useful things. And of course it's a haox that complicated moves are better, actually if you can simplify them then it's even better. So master the basics and with them create new combinations. That you don't need to remember any specific move to encounter a specific situation. That's also why I'm not teaching you any particular martial art." , "by the way, teacher, aren't you becoming too passionate to teach me? How much you gonna earn?" , "haha kid, well I'm sure motivated by money and your father is so generous he allowed me to stay at this villa, but actually I'm more passionate about teaching my skills. Any master would be motivated to teach his methods, it's like a dream of getting a good student. I guess you can leave now for today, let me do my own things."
Just as Ark about to enter inside the villa he heard a noise from outside so he went to check. On the main gate, that same begger came and he is now arguing with his father.
Begger screamed, "Don't give me shit!" , "my shit worth more than giving it to you!" His father replied. Arnest is somewhat fighting with a certain begger who Andre once encountered. Ark didn't mind much and went inside again. Meanwhile the begger continued, "tell me , you were at karda before right?! I didn't saw you but those travellers were there! And after few days a whole fight broke out, I know you were there!" , "what are you talking about spooky mind? What travellers? You think of me aa tourist?" , "I mean Tim-" someone putted hand over his shoulder. Arnest looked at the new person, it's Mr. ****. "Who are you?!- woah! woah...." begger quickly realized that this person is not someone to be messed with. He left the scene then and there. "What are you doing here?" Arnest asked him. "Well just came to check out mu plans. Because I would be leaving from here tomorrow." , "oh that's sudden. We did many things though, come inside I'll show you all the arrangements."
They went inside the villa and then it's late evening. "OK then can you firstly tell me what things are currently going on, please?" They both sat down and Mrs. Magentania came with some cultural drinks and left for Ark's room. "So the thing is, our market evaluation is too huge this year and other branches of family are now attracted towards us. That's the main thing and as for future plans, we may consider getting along with them. But of course, your decision matters." , "what about Ark?" , "He is doing good, thinking of starting his own things so he reads some types of books all day , but since his studies aren't affected, I'm giving him full freedom." , "I'm glad that he is doing good, but he is only 7 years old, how did he got these type of ideas? Had he done something remarkable?" , "that's one thing to notice since he met his friend, certainly a genius girl and also the daughter of my biggest contributor." , "Is it.... Cia?" , "huh? Yeah but how you know?" He didn't answered back and started thinking about all the scenarios. Architecture has deployed men against me who will travel throughout the time to hunt me but how did things turning same way again? Genius girl you say? She again met Ark? Oh nah, we are so done here.
My original plan was to use Magentania cultures to influence through different times , now that I've broke the loop are somethings still meant to happen again? Architecture at first wanted to use me but then he gained some good knowledge and now do not fear death but cherishes it. I don't think it's my duty to save the Creator anyways.... but I also don't want to.... why is this so frustrating?? Maybe I should just get killed after what I've done till now. This is not even original timeline, who cares if somethings are changed and some not? This is becoming like a two sided coil, a loop that is connected to two original ends.
"Magentania.... if possible, then don't let anyone suffer. Cards have shuffled now. And my decision is changed." , "what are you suddenly talking about? What about future plans?" , "haha.... why not ask Ark? That way he will know more stuff related to business." He stood up and started to leave. "You didn't even drink this. Well as you wish. May destiny let us meet again." , "yeah? Haha" Mr.**** left the villa.
Mr.**** goes to a cliff and sat down. "When was it when I was in this much peace? No chasers, no arguments, no work. It's so peaceful." Cold winds are flowing and as if nourishing his tired skin. He looked up a little, gleaming early moon, and all the clouds mixing up with dark colors as night approaches. "There were nit even this much global warming. I wonder if it's the work of Cia." Then Architecture appeared in front of him, floating in night sky. "Yeah. So much peaceful here. Have you decided?" **** looked up and sighed. It's not the sigh of frustration this time. A relief that everything came to an end for him. "New forces are rising because of me. I've changed and done opposite of what you estimated to happen. Now I want to do a last chase, Architecture or should I say.... A%/? Huh? What the hell? I can't say that?" , "yeah my name is such a trouble." , "I know it's not about your name. It's about the concentration over one entity." , "anyways, you seems to be surprisingly calm, and a last chase? I thought you want to become a God." , "oh come one that species is so full of troubles, you know the past." , "what are you talking about? They are entirely different from humans so of course you will not feel bored or anything else. That's why they say transcending Humanity." , "I just don't want to. And it's not like you will let me. We both have done too many things till now, if hell exists in a way as religions say then I don't know if we are getting any seats there." , "wanna know?" Architecture said with a smile. Though not really visible because of his mask but facial expression is such a thing. **** smirked back and turned around. "Start the chase. I don't care about this world anymore." , "you don't even know who Architecture I'm." And then **** snapped his finger by which somehow a huge meteoroid started falling from the sky, just few meters away up from the cliff, **** quickly ran off and Architecture just swipe his hand around the image of meteoroid which let it dispell all along. He giggled a little and opens a portal , entering it.
Sure enough story is just too long and complicated.
