Chapter 044

Already a week had passed when Xiao graduated. The next day, they were supposed to be celebrating the graduation after-party but Xiao chose not to attend. Not because she has familial problems, but she has her reasons. Being in that party means seeing everyone in her batch, and she didn’t want to see any of them. She just couldn’t take it. Most especially Wendy Murray.

The memory she remembered was still fresh in her mind as soon as she stepped out from the stage after receiving her diploma. The memory she wished she could’ve just easily forgotten, but couldn’t. Simply because it has carved something deep in her heart that she couldn’t dare to ever forget. The pain would just constantly come back. And it even irked her more in realizing that.

“Xiao Lee!” a wide smile of a girl greeted her the moment she walked down the aisle.

“Oh, Yumi,” she greeted her with a smile as soon as she was alrea

    Chapter 045A knock on the door was heard that made Xiao halt from reminiscing the past week event. She was thankful for that, as her mind was shifted back to reality, she could somehow forget the pain that has been affecting her since then. Qin’s voice welcomed her as soon as the maiden entered the room and walked herself towards her enthusiastically.“It’s a good news this time, Miss Xiao!” she exclaimed with exuberance.“What is it? Fill me in.”“The hospital just called earlier and I’m very excited to tell you that your grandfather is now awakened!”Xiao, too, was very stunned even when Qin has already informed her about the news being a good one and not the other way around. But, still, she couldn’t believe it as she slowly asked if it was really true.“There’s no way I would be lying about this matter to you, Lady Xiao,” the maiden answered, assuring her with

    Chapter 046Xiao entered the venue as soon as her invitation card served as the key for her entry. Since the meeting was meant for few people, only some have their own invitation cards and were tailored for each and everyone. She, too, was stunned upon receiving a call from Mr. Jake when he told her that he’ll be giving a very big announcement for this day. Or rather, for this night. So, all athletes must attend for this impromptu event, since no one ever seen this coming.Xiao, too, was curious about this event. And why Mr. Jake wanted everyone’s attention for this. For sure, this is a very big news that’s why. She had thought, and that’s why her curiosity grew even more that she immediately agreed to Mr. Jake and the next day, the invitation card was already delivered in front of their house.She slowly paved her way to the entrance. The venue was set on a beach house. “Mr. Jake owns this,” she mumbled, “for h

    Chapter 047The next thing Xiao knew, she was already crying. Jun initially offered her a handkerchief, but the lad decided hugging her the moment she was about to accept the hanky. Which made the girl burst into tears as soon as her head landed onto Jun’s embrace. Sniffing, her cries became lower as she started producing continuous hiccups.Jun, on the other hand, was just caressing the back of Xiao’s head as he hushed her down, initiating her to calm down as she took several inhales and exhales. Jun, apparently, smiled as he continued tapping her shoulders which comforted Xiao in her perspective. Although she didn’t want Jun to see her crying again, but she wasn’t able to keep herself away from that happening. It was her own feelings that betrayed her, and that somehow angered her deep down. Because no matter what she does, the opposite always happen. No matter how many times she would’ve tried, it’s always a disappointment. Not to

    Chapter 048“Xiao?” Jun asked, “Are you alright?”But Xiao didn’t heard him, not because she ignored him, but simply because her eyes were fixated onto someone that she’s no longer paying attention with anyone else.She was quick to remove Jun’s arms around her waist as soon as she recognized Hei’s presence. She couldn’t be wrong. She really knew it was him. And so she ran after him.“Xiao?!” she even heard Mina’s shout.“Where is she going?!” followed by Yao’s alarmed voice.Xiao didn’t care. She just ran away from them, away from the crowd, as she followed Hei’s traces. She didn’t know what she was doing. All she knew was, she acted upon her own sense. It was her inner most feeling that pushed her to follow after Hei. She wasn’t even thinking about anything else. Her body just basically moved on its own.The booming soun

    Chapter 049Wendy took a seat beside Xiao as she glanced at her. The latter looked away and tried focusing on her steak instead. She could feel the stares as if they were daggers being thrown at her. Any moment of now, she could shout if she wanted to, but in the end, she remained with her composure. Otherwise, she’ll be the villain if she’d push through with what she wanted to do.Wendy, on the other hand, could feel the difference of the atmosphere wherein it totally makes her feel odd. As if something was being mixed in the loud and bass vibe, instead she could feel the opposite. It was like, the air was dead. She didn’t know why she would feel that way but that seems like it every time she looks at Xiao. Just something about her makes everything questionable, which leads her to being more curious. Is there something wrong? She had asked herself. Why Xiao seems to be acting differently with me? She stared at the girl once

Of course I have to dress up if I am going to school,” Xiao tried to shove away her thoughts because she knew Qin would know whatever’s in her mind. It’s actually scary if I’m going to spend more time with Qin. I think I wouldnʼt be able make it alive.“But, your dress up for today is quite...” Qin trailed off, showing off a keen smile as if she knew something was up.“Qin, I don’t want to look bad in front of my classmates. That’s all,” Xiao tried her best to hide her smile. I already knew this. I already knew Qin knows. So dumb of me to think she wouldn’t know. She had thought as she tried shaking her head away from various thoughts. She did

    Chapter 051Focusing on the wall, Xiao aimed to reach the vault as soon as she started running. She has to practice her balance and posture, as what Coach Jake has told her the last time she has showed off what she’s been trying to achieve. But basing upon the coach’s judgement, she still needs refinement in order to reach the goal of having a clean point. That was she wanted, a fine critique from someone she’s looking up to. She was glad to know that Coach Jake isn’t just someone who mentors, but also someone that makes the best out of his experience. Just because he has all the knowledge, well maybe not all, but still he manages to share what he has and tell the others about what he feels in order to carve something out from that person. Because of his words, that person will aim higher from what he should expect. And that person is me. I will aim higher. In order to do that, I should gain more experience.

He didn’t want to use any force, but he thought of nothing else anymore when it was his last ace. He has to do it, otherwise, Xiao would slip away from his hands forever.Xiao, on the other hand, was stoned as her lips touched Hei’s. She was unable to move for a moment as her eyes went big. She stared at him who’s eyes were closed, as if feeling every moment of what he did. Her mind completely went blank as his tongue slid inside, as it started roaming and exploring the edges of her mouth. Hei was so soft and gentle. The kiss didn’t feel aggressive, as he became patient with how it goes. He would wait for Xiao to respond back, but she couldn’t, as it was her first kiss so she didn’t know how. She gasped when she felt her knees weak

    Epilogue Xiao’s eyes felt like twirling. She sees nothing but darkness. Her head gone dizzy as she slowly closed her eyes. But before she could even do it, a tantamount light enveloped her surroundings and the next thing she knew, the lightning has became vivid enough to make her cover her face. The light wasn’t simply just a light, it was blinding enough. When she tilted her head to the side, that’s when she realized where the light was coming from. The necklace. Xiao’s eyes widened in shock upon realizing she found her necklace once again. The last time she saw this was when she thought she’ll be already dead. But then, it showed itself this time again. She touched it without hesitation as she felt a tingling sensation which made her body electrified. Something has came inside her body by her own gut feeling, and the next thing she knew, she was already slowly succumbed to unconsciousness as things became dark in an instant. “W-

We have to find a way out.”“But I’ve been here for a long time, why they just come now?”“I don’t have any idea either. Maybe this is Eula’s doing.”Xiao wasn’t able to speak upon the mention of her name. The8 noticed that, but he didn’t further discuss anything about it as they just kept on running. They finally reached the spaceship at the near end.“Is this Cheska?” asked Xiao to which The8 agreed, she smiled as she says, “it’s been a long time.”As soon as they entered the ship, Cheska greeted them with an enthusiastic voice although it is very clear that she was just an AI. They walked towards the center area which then she spotted Asphalt and Code Nine the next time. She called their names enthusiastically as she dropped

    Chapter 074“So this is the power of your ultimate creation, Miss Shuan,” Eula whispered as she looked up to the Soulwaker. It was so immense, she knew it was no longer Xiao, but already a whole new and different entity. “So, even up until this point, I gotta work my ass out in order to serve you the best revenge I could get for,” she laughed, “this is hilarious,” she said when she remembered something, “back when I was young, three girls blackmailed me as they were talking about revenge too. And yet, here I am, still alive and breathing perfectly. So, I wonder the same thing. Would Xiao be saved from my revenge too? Would Xiao be able to live a happy life, unlike me, who was all desperate for nothing?!” she shouted, it was evident in her eyes that she was already at her limitation. Her face was so red, as if she’s gonna burst any time from now. She looked up to Xiao once again. She was already awakened. But Eula couldn&rs

    Chapter 073Eula’s eyes grew even more confused when Miss Shin didn’t even start talking anything after what she had said. She was once again testing the waters and Eula seemed so bothered with it. She just couldn’t stop thinking about it. As things started encircling inside her mind. What if… she had thought, did she see the whole thing? She asked the most possible question, because if she didn’t, she won’t be saying this otherwise. The little girl who was almost near to tears earlier, looked up to the sophisticated woman whose demeanor seemed so strong. Eula thought that Miss Shin was that type of person. A very complicated, yet powerful woman. She can see it fully that Miss Shin won’t ever needing a man, instead the men will keep longing for her attention. It was kinda funny actually on how certain things appear in most unexpected times. Eula was still young and learning at that time, and just by

I was in danger, she thought, but was too late to realize. She couldn’t believe herself, as she turned to look at her mother for the last time because she knew this would be their very last moment and that, she won’t be seeing her ever again. Another set of tears rolled down to her chin as she closed her eyes endearingly. That’s when a memory passed through her mind. That’s when she realized that the time she had with her mother, was too little.Eula was an only child. She goes to school all by herself without a companion. Not even her mother, not even her father. The latter left their family since she was born and she had never experienced nor remembered the face of his own father. She would ask her mother about it but either she, won’t be saying anything. It was like

    Chapter 071 As soon as Xiao felt waking up, her body felt numb and she couldn’t properly hear her surroundings. It was as if her hearing went numb too and all she could feel at that moment was pain. When her eyes meet her own self, that’s when she realized that something has gone down right bad. She felt it in every inch of her body. She wasn’t wrong. She was battered when she’s asleep. And for how did it happen, she couldn’t understand either. For all she knew, she went asleep, all was dark, for a fleeting moment. And as soon as she wake up, it felt like it only happened in a short period of time. It was deliberately confusing in her part. Her body feels all the pain and she could see all the bruises she had gone through. All she knew, it was caused by no other but that person. Oh scratch that, she isnʼt a person nor a robot. She’s the epitome of a monster. Xiao was gritting her teeth to the extent and was able to flinch her head upwards when she felt an e

    Chapter 070 “Why did you lie to me?” those words rang back to The8’s rings. It kept on going round and round as he couldn’t even brush it away from his mind. He wondered whether it was the Soulwaker who’s asking or not. He didn’t know how to respond because he lied in both parties and so he couldn’t even start a proper apology because he didn’t know where he could feel sorry for. He sighed as he looks at her, “I’m sorry,” he started to say before thinking about the next thing he would say. He stared at her for too long but it seemed like he’s still out of words. He still couldn’t find the proper terms he should be using. So, this is how it feels to be frustrated once again… He had thought upon looking away. I’m happy to feel humane feelings once again but I didn’t want frustration to be the first… “I had to do it to save you...” he finally said. Xiao looked at him for a moment before she had laughed, “Oh really? Just when is the mome

    Chapter 069The8’s memories had slowly subsided as Xiao approaches him. She walked slowly towards him without breaking the eye contact. The8 couldn’t stop himself seeing her in resemblance of his Master, as they truly looked like each other. Shuan was once an important part of his life, and now that she’s nowhere to be found, he actually blamed himself for it. Even though he knew that he wasn’t supposed to be blaming himself, but he couldn’t stop to do so, when he knows the real reason why Shuan chose the deadly path instead of letting herself being away from harm. He knows himself that he’s also accountable for whatever’s happening right now. And the fact that he’s also hopeless when it comes to Xiao, he did not know what to do anymore; whether he’s doing the right thing or if he’s only being selfish; he didn’t know how to discern any longer. It seemed like his life choices were being repeated as if it’s

She noticed that she can see the outside where all robots were gathered and most probably, the headquarters was already caught by fire. She just realized that she ruined the headquarters all by herself. She couldn’t believe what she had done.“Isn’t that the Queen?”“So she was the cause of these? That’s why I had a bad feeling when I felt a sudden earthquake earlier…”“She really did all of that in a short span of time?”“But I couldn’t believe it…”“Why she did that anyway? It was too much, don’t you think so?”“But she should be protecting us, right? Then why…”“She’s doing the different thing.”“This is
