39 Morning At Home (2/2)
In the present,Zed remembered his first killing with an amused expression.He has killed many people without batting an eye but the first killing gave him a sleepless night.
At that time, he hasn't even awakened the mutant powers he was born with. Now though he has gained powers which the world could never imagine.
”How time changes,” Zed mused.
He wanted to know the identity of his caretaker not just because he wanted to find out about his own parents. The main reason was to find those who tried to murder him after he was born.
His caretaker has mentioned dozens of times about how he lost his powers trying to protect him. The caretaker has also claimed how Zed's mother promised him a lot of money and resources for protecting Zed but in the end, she went back on her words.
Instead in the process, the caretaker lost his powers.
Zed didn't know the entire details of his birth but he knew someone has tried to kill him moments after he was born.
From the attitude the caretaker showed and the words he spoke in his drunken state, Zed was sure the caretaker was a powerful mutant before he lost his powers.
For someone like him to work for Zed's mother can only mean that she was a very powerful and influential figure. The people who tried to kill him should be equally powerful as well.
”Do anything it takes to find the identity of the caretaker so that I can track my origin. I have a score to settle,” Zed said.
[[Sir, you should move on with life. Why focus on the past when you have the present?]]
”Claudia, I don't really care about my origin or my parents. I just want to kill those who tried to kill me after I was born,” Zed has a ferocious smile on his face as he said this.
It was his rule to never forgive anyone who tried to harm him no matter what. This is why he didn't spare Lisa even after she agreed to become his slave.
So how can he forgive anyone who has tried to kill him?Sure, he didn't have any memories of his birth and the attempted murder but that doesn't change the fact someone tried to kill him.
[[I will increase my search range.]]
”Good. I will upgrade your hardware later on which should help,” Zed said with a sigh.
Revenge was one of his objectives in life but it was nowhere as important as his dreams. He would rarely ask Claudia about the progress she made in her search.
He wasn't the type to spend his entire time on things like revenge because life has given him far more important things to care about.
Claudia knew about this, and hence brought a topic her master truly cared about: beauties.
[[I have added the contact details of Meghan Adley from the card she gave you. Would you like to call her?]]
A virtual screen appeared in front of Zed showing the pictures of Meghan in a bikini.
Zed no longer thought about revenge but focused his attention on the pictures of Meghan.
”Not today.”
[[Are you sure? She is very hot according to the comments on the internet.]]
”Haha, I will contact her two days later.”
[[Understood.]]
”Book a room in advance though.”
[[Judging by her pictures you will be spending a lot of time with her. So should I reserve the room for a week?]]
”That would be great,” Zed said with a smile.He was confident Meghan wouldn't disappoint him given the attitude she showed yesterday.
”Damn...I almost forgot!” Zed said after remembering the events of the party.
[[Yes?]]
”Claudia, add two tasks to my schedule before I forget them.”
[[What are the two tasks, sir?]]
”The first task is my date with Carole. It is on 14th December at Close Horizon.”
[[I doubt you will forget the date even if I don't record it.]]
”Well, it took me a lot of efforts to convince her so I don't want to take any risks.”
[[I have added it to the schedule. What is the other task?]] Claudia enquired.
”I am invited to judge Miss Delta pageant. The dates are not out yet so watch out for them,” Zed answered.
[[Understood, sir. If I may say, I certainly don't understand why you are invited to judge.]]
”Are you doubting the capabilities of your master? I have a lot of experience in judging beauties,” Zed said with a confident smile.
[[Sir, I can never doubt you, but I think you might be having a misconception on the meaning of judging a pageant.]]
”Misconception?”
[[Yes, sir. A judge has to evaluate the contestants based on their style, conduct, personality, etc.]]
”...I certainly know that.”
[[You know, sir? Please accept my sincere apologies. I thought your idea of judging was limited to judging the beauties without their clothes.]]
”......”
[[I further thought you will be having a misconception of judging the contestants based on their performance in bed.]]
”...........”
