Chapter 285 They Walk Into a Bar

While the kid could not talk, just frohts, Daniel was able to learn that he possessed an intelligence off the charts His thought process was unlike that of any other kid his age, and he was able to understand, assess, and react almost instantly to most situations

The idea that had lead to his parent's invention, and that ultimately was the cause of their death, had been inspired by a question that the kid hiestured to his mother, when the tere unsure of how to proceed with their project

That lead Daniel to believe that if he was forced to use the ki flag for help, he must have been truly desperate, and out of options

Originally, when the kid had just woken up, he had believed Daniel to be the friend of his fas' aid if he used the ki flag entrusted by his parents, but it didn't take long for such an intelligent kid to understand that that was not the case

His parents had been betrayed twice One time when they had sent the invention to their contact which should have ”kept it safe”, and once when the siblings had used the ki flag

The ki flag was supposed to call for help in case so happened to the two inventors, but instead, it did nothing signal their position to the individual that had betrayed theoons to kill the two kids, and retrieve any odd objects in their possession

Daniel could remember perfectly well the day when his family had received the news that his father had perished in war, as well as the day when he had co sister But even though he had gone through the pain of loss himself, he knew that his experience and that of the kid were completely different

What made the two situations different was that Daniel had someone hen he had started to blame himself for the death of each of his parents, had reminded him that it wasn't his fault

Unfortunately, that was not the sa reassured by so consoled by a member of your family, so Daniel was not direct in his attempt to console the kid Instead, he quietly cultivated in the so down a spiral of depression and sadness

Whenever Daniel felt the need to, he would visit the kid, and try to fix his train of thoughts through so chess

At first the kid simply looked as Daniel and Aeron played, but after understanding the nature of the ga for Aeron to arrive for their daily gaame was a test to see if the kid had understood the rules correctly, but to Daniel's surprise, the kid had already learned the rules perfectly by observing the two play, and he knehat each piece was able to do, and how to use each move to chip at the opponent's forces

The result of the first game was, to Daniel, a reminder of how brilliant this kid was So much so that Daniel had barely win thanks to the kid's inexperience, and ame, was completely different

Daniel could only keep up with the kid's tre hisone loss after the other

At the end of the tenth ga to feel irritated Daniel could see that he was losing interest in chess, as according to what he was thinking, he couldn't stand the fact that there was a way that allowed people to cheat, which he was not aware of

Daniel had introduced the game of chess to this kid exactly for this reason, and now that the kid had finally gotten to that point, he said out loud ”You are not wrong I have ain with” He then let the sentence sink in for a few moment, and once he saw that the kid was ready, he added ”Sos are out of our control Your last ed all along”

After he finished speaking, he stood up from the chair, and left the kid alone

While Daniel was not as sent He knew that if he tried to console the kid, he would not be able to get through him because they had no attachment to each other So he had to find another way That as to trigger a moment of realization within the kid's ic of which the kid was so fond of, would force hi in silence, and looking at the pieces of chess The gaed They had been cheated To call for help was sia to die anyway Why was his fault that his faer and thirst for revenge that had shi+ned within the kid'sexponentially And turning into hate
