Chapter 485 - Alaric in The Morning (1/2)

The entire house was equipped with an automated system which was actually one of the prototypes of the automation system that Rhionen Industries launched earlier this month.

A new era of human life had arrived. From the moment they wake up to when they sleep, everything was served and taken care of by computers.

It was the digital assistant who would regulate the temperature of the room, prepare food, arrange everyday menu, order groceries, ensure all appointments were scheduled, and assure that all minute aspects of human life were organized so humans could focus on studying or working.

Alaric was very satisfied with the prototype and thus he gave his blessing so that the project could be launched immediately. They started with several big cities in China and the response was great.

In a few months, they would present the results to their major clients, namely the governments of big countries who were interested in using the automation system from Rhionen Industries in their countries. Just one more step and the whole world would start to become automated.

All of these technologies would revolutionize human life. Not everyone would be able to keep up with the changes as this system, of course, would be expensive and not accessible to everyone.

The people who still rely on conventional ways would slowly be pushed out and they would find it hard to get a better life. People who have no advantages aside from their physical strength would also find it harder to survive because there would be no work available for them.

Humans thought that all the breakthrough inventions from Rhionen Industries were for the betterment of humanity, to make their lives easier, whereas, in reality, Rhionen Industries actually wanted to rule humankind and control their lives through their technology.

From the moment they wake up till they sleep, everything would be monitored and controlled by the machine, which was ultimately under the control of Rhionen Industries.

When he woke up from a coma and realized that all his projects and ideals were being carried out well by his foster children, Alaric felt very satisfied. He just needed a bit more time and then everything would be back to his control.

Soon ... he would rule the world. He would be the one to determine what kind of people should live. They would not be able to destroy the earth further. He would not let them.

When Alaric came out of the shower, he walked passed the bathroom door and his body was automatically dried by a dryer that blew warm and gentle air onto his skin.

Since he woke up from a coma, his body had become more sensitive to touch so he disliked the texture of regular towels on his skin. This dryer door was specially created for him. Everything was practical.

Luna had chosen a set of clothes that suited his taste and placed them on the bed. Alaric then wore each piece quickly. The composition of the clothing threads was very precise and he liked the feel of the fabric on his body. Alaric Rhionen only wore things that were perfect, no more, no less.

”Read my schedule today, Luna,” Alaric commanded as he buttoned up his shirt and stared at his reflection in the mirror. Luna readily recited several appointments that Alaric had actually memorized and only wanted to double-check.

”Meeting with Miss Sophia at 10 am; lunch with your parents; and haircut at 2 pm. After that, you are expected to meet the directors at Splitz's office. Lastly, you'll have dinner with the leaders of Rhionen Industries.”

”Hmm ... thank you.” Alaric stared at his long hair that fell past his shoulders. Ugh ... From the beginning, he didn't like his hair because it made him feel like a girl. Moreover, haircutting was a routine thing that he had to do once a week as his hair always grew long very quickly.

”Our scientists are researching how to make your hair growth stop according to your wishes. They are optimistic that they will get good results soon,” Luna added.

”Hmmm ...” Alaric just nodded. Luna always knew what he was thinking. Alaric was happy that his assistant was a very fast learner. He felt very comfortable in her presence.

Luna was a very efficient and fun digital assistant. She prepared everything perfectly and never interfered with her employer's personal matters. While the other assistant ... hmmm, you could say she was the opposite.
