179 The King of Hear (2/2)

She just has too many things on her mind to pay any close attention.

Christina was only 5 when Xavier took her away after all.

That is 4 years ago, and much can happen in that amount of time, especially in appearance of a child.

Of course, if Mrs. Loraine actually takes the time to look closer, she would recognize Christina quickly enough.

But then again, I did manipulate the events so that she likely wouldn't, allowing Christina to remember this moment for the rest of her life.

Coupling with the fact that Christina feels abandoned by her mother years before as well as her father this morning, it will be impossible for her to reconcile with her parents.

More so into her teenage and adulthood.

Not impossible, but it is exceedingly hard if I have anything to do with it.

And I certainly will because I do think Christina is better with me as I can help her truly makes the most of her special ability once it finally manifests itself.

I have seen the future after all. Her destiny has changed greatly just because her mother didn't manage to win the custody of her.

And currently, her mother doesn't really have the time to look after her like I do, especially when her mother is currently pregnant with another child.

As to why I wanted to let Mrs. Loraine to know who I am personally, it is actually preparation for the future, when Christina finally becomes a global sensation.

Any court case can be won legally regardless how impossible it seems at first glance if you have plenty of preparation. I stress legally because I could just have Mrs. Loraine and her boyfriend killed and then adopt Christina through proper channel.

That is kind of evil, especially when Mrs. Loraine is pregnant.

I look at the house one more time before getting into the car. I then eye Christina, who is still tearful.

It could not be helped as her entire world just shattered in a single day. In a single evening to be more precise. I obviously didn't drive all the way across the United States when I could teleport.

”Maybe you should sleep, Christina. You will feel better when you wake up again.”

I tell her, and she immediately did. Without any resistance to magic, the sleep charm works effectively, thus allow me to create the illusion that a lot of time has passed. She will wake up when I actually tell her to wake up again.

Or when the magical energy runs out. By my estimation, it will be 9 to 10 hours – a full night sleep.

The car begins to drive away, and I take notice that I am being followed. Not by cars but by people on foot. Hybrids can catch up to a speeding car fairly easily, especially those of second-generation.

”Legion. Distort the windows and autopilot. Chinatown, cruising speed.”

I tell Legion and remove my hands from the steering wheel. The distortion of the windows is required in case one of the Hybrids have enhanced sight.

Once that is done, I lean over my seat and take Christina into my arm.

I then teleport home, and since my momentum is still conserved due to being in a speeding car, I land on the floor hard, but because much of the house has been remodeled with micromachines since they are better construction materials, the floorboards didn't shatter on impact.

With Christina sleeping rather peacefully in my arms, I head upstairs and enter one of the guest rooms, which I suppose will be her room from now on.

The room is decorated for a grown up, but with a mental request, everything morphs, quickly changing into a child room, completely filled with everything that a child might need.

Micromachines are just that useful, capable of simulating any kind of materials, including blankets and sheets. Not only that, there is no need to clean them at all, as they are self-cleaning.

Therefore, everything in the house is spotless. The air as well.

Perfectly clean.

I settle Christina into her bed and cover her with blankets before sitting by her bedside.

Honestly, I couldn't help but feel responsible for the life that Christina has lived thus far. Even so, she tries to remain optimistic and appreciates what she has.

Despite her age, Christina is a lot more mature than most adults. Of course, there are many things she doesn't understand as a child, thus just reading her mind amuses me greatly. I wonder if all child think like her.

Possibly, but I am not about to find out. It is actually quite distracting hearing what people are thinking, as they think a lot more than they say. Like a lot more.

”Have a good sleep, princess. When you wake up again, you will get to go to school and meet a lot of new friends. You won't have to worry about anything else other than following your dream.”

I tell her and caress her face a bit. She needs to eat more, but for now, the nanomachines in her body will fix her up. It will not be immediately, but it will be a lot faster than eating properly.

Obviously, I will make sure that she eats healthily from now on.

I left her side after about 5 more minutes to check on Antigone in her room. I had one of my clones to pick her up. It didn't work, so I have my avatar instead.

Avatar are empty shells for my consciousness to inhabit while clones are pretty much sentient even if they don't really have a soul.

Somehow, Antigone can tell, but I should expect that. She is more or less Adria just not as powerful in term of spiritual prowess.

I spend the next hour towering over Antigone, watching her sleep. It is not creepy at all because I am her biological father.

And just like Christina, I didn't plan to take care of her initially, but I guess that Antigone has grown on me greatly. She just makes me feel a lot like human, and that is more than most people I have met.

Strangely enough, Legion has no information on Antigone from the future that I do not exist because I time-jump ahead to collect information. I wonder why exactly.

It is just another mystery to who I am.

There are plenty of mysteries, like why is there a message in the acquired databank, warning me that I should not jump into the future anymore.

Legion is unsure of the sender since it is not signed, but he archives it anyway for me to read.

Speaking of Legion, he has been driving the car around Chinatown for a while with a bunch of Hybrids following him. They haven't tried to attack the car yet, but if they do, they will be in for a surprise.

Honestly, even with their power, they won't be able to fight against Optimus Prime. It is quite hard to kill a machine capable of murdering a Hydra kill squad.

In any case, I wonder if I can stir up some trouble.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

There is another Hybrid enclave in Chinatown, and the Chinese really hates the Japanese.

Maybe I can get them to kill each other. An all-out war would be interesting, especially I could see how China-breed Hybrids stand up to the original Hybrids.

I also need to locate the other Kings and Queens.

Those are actually ranks given to the original Hybrids when the Hybridization Project was still a thing, with Aces being the strongest.

The suit represents the hybridized species, with heart being mammals, thus the King of Heart is pretty much the King of Beasts.

The records tell me all Aces are hunted and killed by Johnathan, the Director of S.W.O.R.D personally.

If that is true, the original Hybrids are not even on par against Elite Soldiers of S.W.O.R.D division, making the whole Hybridization pointless.

At least with the first generation.

The second generation shows some promising results, especially the offspring of the King of Heart and the Queen of Diamond, but I did promise the old man that I won't kidnap his daughter just to dissect her.

Actually, I promise that Hydra wouldn't.

I didn't promise that I wouldn't.

It is a technicality.
