Arselan System: AI Controller
Chapter 049: Not a Special Boy

"Then, why do you keep following me all day?" ats asked as soon as the thick mustache finished the story. The stalker man kneeled down without any resistance at all.

"Itu—" the thick mustache searched for the right words before revealing his reason, "We have an offer for you, Young Master. If you like, you can meet the chief envoy tomorrow."

"What offer?" Ats did not relax his vigilance in the slightest. He remains cautious. After all, the thick mustache was stronger than him if he did not have Arselan.

"I don't know," replied the thick moustache with a lethargic bowed face, "I'm assigned to ensure your independence."

"Hm, I am the son of the Asir Family," Ats said with great decisiveness, "What are you doing that for?"

"We—" said the thick mustache again disconnected. He thought hard so that his group did not get a bad assessment from Ats. It was an order sent down to him. Unfortunately, their move was a step late from Team Ulu. "We make sure the offer does not harm the Asir Family. Please consider our offer."

"Sir Dani," Ats was fed up with talking to this thick moustache, "He's already committed an act of espionage in the Asir Family Territory. Hold him until the next decision arrives."

"Well, Young Master," replied Mr. Dani obediently. He restrains the thick mustache, while the stranger attempts to negotiate further. But all his efforts were in vain.

"Follow me!" force Mr. Dani. Just then, another gatekeeper came. The man who was a close friend of Mr. Dani was surprised to see what happened. He immediately greeted Ats and continued his duty to guard.

"Arselan, is there anything else?" ats asked as he stepped into the dormitory he was referring to.

"Area around safe. There were no signs of a suspicious existence," replied Arselan who continued in his alert mode throughout the day. He showed me a two-dimensional map that Ats hadn't seen in a long time. There are some white dots burning there. That white dot indicates the existence of a breathing living thing that exists in a passive state.

"Good, I can finally meet my friends and rest in peace" said Ats as soon as he arrived in front of a dormitory with traditional architecture, but magnificent. It was a U-shaped joglo housing complex with a large field in its hands. There are four rooms on each of the south and north sides, while on the east side there are three rooms. This was a dormitory of expert practitioners equivalent to Ats.

"Well, who is this?" a young man in his twenties welcomed Ats' arrival.

"That boy didn't attend the banquet?" Duke Altalimain was interested in hearing the news, "Is there any special reason that made him not want to participate in such a big event?"

"There is a possibility, the relationship between Young Master Asir and the Second Prince is stretched for a cause that we do not know yet," continued Arunqa, "We had detected a closeness between the two of them, but it was only for a moment. Young Master Asir even tended to stay away from the Second Prince. It's possible, the deal between them didn't go well."

"Hm, I see, yes," Duke Altalimain of mangosteen, "I still have a chance to take him to my side then. Did you get it ready, Bey?"

"We've been carrying out reconnaissance around Young Master Asir. The negotiating team was already prepared," explained Arunqa with a faint smile on his lips, "They are on Reda Island now. Once Young Master Asir accepts his offer, they will report immediately."

"Good, you are indeed always reliable," the Duke of Altaliamain smiled with satisfaction. However, his smile disappeared after Arunqa continued his report.

"Eden Bey's? He's your nephew, right?" the duke made sure.

"Yes, Sir. There was a possibility that he was also interested in recruiting Young Master Asir to his side, "Aruqa is serious-faced. Most of the Bey Family were against the government, but her niece Eden was a little different.

"He's a troublesome boy" grumbled Arunqa in the middle of his report, "But you don't have to worry. So far, he had not made any significant progress in establishing his relationship with Young Master Asir."

As a matter of fact, the boy from the Asir Family was not too special until he had to be watched so. He was just a lucky kid who was able to activate the system. In fact, people in the class of scientists and the military were not able to activate it.

"Then, I say goodbye first," said Arunqa who then left the office of the Duke of Altaliamain.

However, it was precisely because of that brat that his mission became increasingly easy to take over the system. He is like a clean white paper. At that young age, it is not difficult to cram the right ideology. As long as Duke Altalimain's agents were able to influence him, mastery of the system would become even easier.

"Atssuria Asir," Arunqa Bey muttered as she stared at the profile of the boy from the Asir Family. Her index finger pressed a button on the elevator. Shortly after, the elevator doors closed and took Arunqa to the lower floor.

"Son, you should see the world like us," the old man muttered as if speaking directly to Ats. There was a tone of longing flowing from his voice. "You'll see beautiful things here. Trust and follow us, you will be happy."

"If not—" Arunqa closed his dress. Elevator door opens. He also walked out with his ease. "You will continue to be caught in the midst of the superstitions and fairy tales of the ancients."

The night was getting late, but the dense Altalimain City was getting brighter and more colorful. The people in it play and feast, enjoying their free life there. That was them, the people who demanded complete freedom to the Altair Kingdom Empire. However, they are the ones who are actually stuck in their own hallucinations, while they do not realize it.
