17 His parents arenst simple (1/2)

”User scanned - Quinn Moore. Access denied. Access has been restricted by Helena Moore. Quinn Moore can only use from 7pm to 9 pm.” After that the light vanished. Helena felt awkward and embarrassed.

Everyone was dumbfounded as they were eagerly waiting to see what triggered a 5-year-old kid to form basic soul and their access was brutally denied by a stupid Television. But no one dared to mock Helena after her longevity soup.

Then suddenly a loud laughter rung, it seemed like the person laughing was trying to control the laughter by covering her hands. But still that person failed to control and let out an even louder yet muffled laughter.

Everyone turned around to look at the person laughing. After seeing the person who was laughing Quinn was stunned silly.

Emma was the one laughing, strangely this time she was not indifferent and cold like usual she was laughing like a real human. Emma was always with them it's just that she will always keep quiet that one would subconsciously ignore her.

The reason Quinn was shocked is that he assumed Emma to be an android with lowest- level A.I. But the moment she started to laugh she looked more humane than any human around.

Quinn was aware that an android with in-built A.I. was very costly. But he assumed that his parents spent their entire fortune to get Emma. The reason he believed Emma was android with basic A.I. was that his family could only afford that much.

Quinn learned a thing or 2 about androids from a regular customer of their restaurant. Androids are of two types with A.I. and without A.I. the latter is obviously more expensive.

In fact, an android with the most basic A.I. is costlier than their restaurant; the latest version of A.I. available in the market is A.I. v2.0. Even if whole Peace River city is sold, a single A.I. v2.0 can't be bought.

He has seen an android A.I. v2.0 in the video shown by the customer once. Emma seemed to be more advanced than A.I. v2.0, Quinn had a headache thinking about Emma's price.

The only thing that stopped Quinn from asking about Emma was his faith in his parents and his current identity. He didn't want to spoil all his hard work because of his curiosity.

Quinn had already decided to wait for a correct situation to tell his parents about the Basic Soul to give them a form of assurance about his capabilities. The reaction from the Storage Ring served as right trigger to disclose about his Basic soul.

So he used this opportunity to inform his parents, mixed truth and lies to make an appropriate elucidation of how he formed his Basic Soul.

The reason he was confident that his parents will not suspect that he never asked for many bugs is that he has asked many such things. He wanted to have a normal childhood so he would do such stuff from time to time to make his parents believe that he was just an ordinary kid.

But recently there are couple of mysterious things going on, in the house which let him suspect his parent's true identity and ability - First the black storage ring, then his mystical Grandpa and now Emma a high tech android.

He even felt that his entire new life was fake one or there are many things his parents were hiding from him. But he did not ask them as he believed that they will inform him when at right time.

While Quinn pondering about Emma; his mom face turned red in embarrassment and she stared daggers at Andre as if blaming him for Emma's laughter. Blake sympathized with Andre who was being wrongly accused.

”Emma shut up and get out of my sight.” Andre ordered angrily.
