Human Binary: The Unrivalled King of Technology

"Your laugh."

Lola was quiet for a couple of seconds, not knowing what to say. "In a week time, everything you demanded will be forward to you. if you need anything else forward it me. And don't forget to forward the money to my chain." With that, Lola hanged the call abruptly. 

Hahaha. 

The call with Lola was over a week ago, and many things and change in Vulture. The sudden demand of tax payment shocked everyone to their core but no one voice their contradiction or refusal to the demand. Any negative comment about these sudden changes was done either in their sitting room or amid close ones. No one need to tell you, the sudden change in power structure in Vulture was announced a couple of days ago and how things would be run as from there on. Even the dead could tell a new government was at play. And this new government was not opened minded like the previous power, Vulture gangs. Everyone and everything was strictly monitored.

Inside a luxury hotel, in the VIP researched area. A young man sat in front of a pretty young lady. Both of them complement each other perfectly. The young man was handsome with a perfect fit muscle, inching out of his blue polo t-shirt and dark jean pants. Whilst the lady was in overflowing off shoulder light blue gown, complement with blue hill, she crossed one leg over the others while her medium-length, prismatic conditioned hair, tamed gently on her shoulder. Her alluring eyes combined with eyelashes like fairy wings and her eyebrows like sleeping silkworms made both male and female drool in ecstasy. 

"Why!" A melodious voice came from the lady but her eyes had a hint of sadness, only visible to the man in front of her. She knew every change that happened recently in vulture was from the young man in front of her. And she couldn't be any part of it. Thinking of this, her heart tightened, wanting to stop from beating. But she needed answered, answer to why she was treated like this.

"Why you say?" The young man asked, not looking at the lady, using his knife to pick a fruit from the tray and eat it slowly while enjoying the gentle background music coming from the bands.

"Yes. Why." Her gazed fixed on the young man face, not blinking and not having intention of looking somewhere else. Afraid if she blinked or lose focus of this young man, she may never see him again. She didn't know what happened, she had tried to search for this man contact on her phone, but to no avail. But it changes yesterday when she was casually browsing over her contact list when her eyes caught sight of the one contact her heart desire so much. It took her a couple of seconds to believe she was not hallucinating. She took a lot of courage and the conviction from her mother to make the call. Though she didn't expect the call to go through but it came as shock when she heard the voice she had been lounging to hear. It after a full minute before her brain could process what was happening. She stuttered a lot while her mother made so many hand signals to convey some sense into before they arrive at the conclusion to met in this hotel.

Hearing this, the young man place the fork and knife down and look straight into the lady's eyes. Seeing this expressionless face of the young man, the lady gulped, swallowing the lump in her throat. Her heart raced, beating quickly, wanting to jump out of her chest. She clutched the hem of her gown tightly, trying maintain eye contact with him. Unknown to her, her spine was already drenched in cold sweats. 

'What are you trying to proof.' They young man thought. He could vividly see the nervousness hanging at the corner of her eyes. Besides, he doesn't mean to start a tug of gazing battle with her. He only wanted to confirmed whether that timid naïve get still exist in her. Though she put on strong front, she had already lost. The young man sighed in his heart and avert his gaze.

Seeing this, the lady breath a sigh of relief. The short gazing war took everything from her not to avert her gaze. However, the rage in her heart had not for once calm down. She hadn't heard what she wanted to hear. And with the look of things, things are not going in her favour.

"You as a person that lived in Vulture for quite some time should understand how this world works." The young man started calmly. He relaxed his back on the chair and continue. "I owe you nothing. What I gave you was for showing gratitude toward you for your previous kindness. My gratitude shouldn't warrant you stepping over your boundary."

The lady tightened her clutched over the hem of gown and listened quietly. She had nothing to say. 

"I may have some feeling for you but I believe if I return to my previous life. You won't hesitate to ditch me for better life. No?" The young man asked casually. 

Hearing the cold blunt truth, the young lady blinked her eyes, not knowing what to say. Suddenly, the pleasant air became heavy, suffocating her. She lose her hold on her dress slowly and fanned her face gently. She averted her gaze from the young man face while the word ring in her mind. 

Seeing this, the young man chuckled and picked a fruit from the fruit tray and eat slowly why looking at the lady with a fascinating gaze. If it was the previous Emma, he may be naïve thinking. It was pure love. Though he wasn't against love, but in this wretched world. Everyone was selfish to the core and always thinking about themselves first before anything else. Who doesn't want a better life?

>>Don't you know how manage your words. Hmm? For her thinking like that is definitely not wrong.?

'Say the system who would be the first person to berate me if acted on impulse.' Emma answered in disdain.

>>Of course, I would berate you if you let your feeling clouded your judgment. What I'm saying is that you shouldn't be this blunt.

'Oh! How should I say it? Beg her or what?'

>>Forget. She's too naïve for my liken. Though I don't like how you treat her at first but now, I support your decision.

'Lily! Can't you just tell me who you're supporting. Why are you so undependable'

>>Shut up! What do you know smelly brat? Whatever you do, I will surely support you first. I'm just telling you all this to put you on the right track.

Emma shook his slight at Lily's shamelessness. Where did he found hers. Or Perhaps how the hell did he get to stuck with such a shameless thing. Must everyone around him be shameless. Thinking about Zeus shamelessness. He shivered, munching the fruit with a bit of force. 

"I won't deny the truth. If you don't have a promising future. I won't think about giving my heart to you. But one thing I know is that, and this does not apply to only you. anyone that I gives my heart to would be the only person as long I'm breathing." Th young woman said confidently, looking a the face of the young man.

"Huh!" That was the only sound that came from the young man mouth whilst he bit into the apple in his hand.

"I'm not telling you this for me to look any better. You think anyhow you like about me. I don't care. I won't spend my life, moving from one man to another, looking for something that wasn't there. So, before I give my heart to someone. I will have to check if that person have a promising future and could protect me and my mother. And also could make me happy."

"And you see that in me?" he asked without any obvious changes in his expression. 

Hearing this, she took a sip from the wine cup and looked at the casual behavior of the young man. But she knew if anyone was fool by this uncaring façade, he or she won't know how they die. They are currently having this conversation because of her sharp tongue. And if it was not her, she knew…  taking a deep, she answered.

"Yes." That was the truth. Not because of the money and power he had. She had been studying him from his debauchery life and to his present life. How she safe her mother and the length to safe her from the clutch of the powerful people. Who wouldn't want to spend the rest of their life with such a man?

"The question is… do you have what it takes to be by side?"

"Yes." She nodded without thinking.

"Oh!" The young man raised his brow. He was quite surprised by her confident. 

"I don't know anything right now. But I am willing to learn anything to stay by your side and fight for it. I know I hurt you with my unreasonable word. I'm just asking for your forgiveness and—"

"Do you think if I haven't forgiven you.. we'll be having this conversation, hmm?" He chuckled.
