Ss looked at Jeremiah who was sitting across the table, curiously, as he studied him.


    Jeremiah as someone who''s studying Gics and Life Creation is naturally smart, but he has a massive w, he''s crazy.


    He''s crazy as in the type of crazy that would actually make him the world enemy number if he''s to gain the opportunity to bring his idea to life.


    Ss didn''t do a check on the people on the list as what he wanted to do was to get to know them better during his meeting with them, but it seems he made a huge mistake.


    From the information he got on Jeremiah from Luna, he isn''t the the type of person he should employ, as he would bring him a lot of trouble in the future.


    Still, since Ss had already set up the meeting, then he has to see it through to the end.


    "I saw what you wrote about life creation. I''m curious as to the reason why you went in that direction?" Ss asked.


    He asked the question because he wants to create a topic they can discuss. Also, due to his understanding of Jeremiah''s personality as someone who''s extremely prideful and arrogant due to his self-acimed extremely high intelligence, Ss knew that it''s the perfect topic.


    He was a right as he saw Jeremiah push up his sses,. adjusting them before clearing his throat.


    "Well, the reason why I decided to go into life creation is simple. As scientists, no matter how much and in what way we talk about it, our ultimate aim is to create life. This is the reason why they call science the act of ying God," He said with a smile.


    Ss nodded when he heard this. Jeremiah''s response was generic as it''s something he has heard before.


    "You do know that you''re not the only one who is doing this, right?" Ss asked.


    He was just looking for a way to end the conversation and leave. He felt very stupid for making such a decision.


    ''Maybe my approach was wrong.'' Ss said to himself.


    ''There has to be another way I can go about it. If I actually intends to travel around the country and around the world trying to meet and employ everyone on the list, then it might take me a very long time before I actually get anything done.'' He said to himself.


    While he was still thinking of how to improvise on his ns, he heard Jeremiah''s response.


    "I''m not the only one but I''m best at it. Actually, I got an invitation from an organization called the ck Hand. They told me about their ongoing projects, and I must say it''s something that''s very ambitious. To make things even better, they asked to join them. Amazing right?" Jeremiah asked with an arrogant smile on his face.


    His words got Ss'' interest as he raised his head and looked at Jeremiah with a raised now.


    "So, do you n to join this organization called the ck Hand?" Ss asked curiously.


    He was curious to know what whoever Jeremiah met with, told him.


    "Yes. Also, I would be taking my leave as I have a lot of things to prepare," Jeremiah said with a smile, and stood up from his seat and left the restaurant.


    "I made a huge mistake meeting up with him. Luna, track Jeremiah''s every movement. I want to know everything he knows and everyone he meets, as long as they important," Ss said to Luna.


    He watched Jeremiah disappear from his sight and he sighed, and stood up from his seat.


    He walked out of the restaurant and looked at the clear blue sky above.


    "Time to go home," He said to himself with a smile.


    "Luna, book me a ride. Also, how''s Alex doing?"


    {Your ride has been booked. From the information I got from the AI in charge of his smartwatch, he''s fine.}


    Ss smiled when he heard this.


    "So, he''s using the smartwatch?"


    {Without knowledge on how to use it, he just wears it on his wrist. The watch is in a semi-dormant mode as the AI only monitors his health and surroundings.}


    "That''s good. It''s not yet time to let him in on things yet." Ss said with a nod.


    Ss didn''t have to wait long for the Uber that Luna ordered to arrive.


    *****


    Few minutester, Ss was already airborne and on his way home.


    He decided to make a change to his ns. Instead of going around the world, meeting up with those on the list and trying to convince them to work for him, he decided to make theme to him and he already has a n on how to do that.


    The flight to San Jose took over 5 hours and it was already gettingte by the time hended.


    Immediately afternding, he got out of the aircraft and made his way to the airport''s parking area.


    At the parking area, he got into his car and started it, before driving off.


    Few minutester, he finally arrived home. He got out of the car and  walked towards the door, and knocked on it.


    He waited for few seconds before the door was opened.


    "Good evening, Kim" Ss greeted and walked into the house.


    "How are you? You look somewhat tired? How was your trip?" Kim asked in concern when she saw Ss'' face, thatcks the usual smile he always has.


    "It was fine. I''m just a bit tired." Ss replied, and walked up to his room.


    "I will get something ready for you to eat before you''re done changing," Kim said, and he nodded.


    When he got upstairs, he made his way to Alex''s room first.


    Opening the door to Alex''s room, he saw who was in bed, sleeping soundly. He smiled at this and quietly closed the door, and made his way to his room.


    Inside his room, Ss took off his clothes and walked into the bathroom to take a bath.


    After he was done with taking his bath, he put on a change of clothes, and went downstairs, to the dining.


    Kim told him toe down for food when he''s done changing, and that''s what he ns to do.


    Getting to the dining, he took his seat and started eating.


    "Ss," Kim called out to him.


    "Yes," Ss answered, and raised his head to look at her with a face that says "what''s it"


    "Your dad called.." She said with a smile on her face.


    Ss paused eating his food in surprise when he heard what Kim said. It wasn''t something he expected.


    He was curious as to what the reason for his father calling Kim could be.


    "What did he say?" He asked.


    "He said he wants to talk to you. He asked me to give the phone to you but you weren''t home.


    He also asked for you contact but you know... Regarding the history between the both of you, I... couldn''t.


    He said he was sorry for leaving home without informing anyone and he called to say that he''s fine m, and he woulde back when he sorta things out on his side." Kim said, with a sad smile on his face.


    Ss didn''t know what to say when he heard what Kim said. He kind of understand his father''s reason for calling and asking to talk to him, but why?


    Ss looked at Kim for a moment and sighed internally.


    ''She really loves him that much.'' He thought to himself, as he continued eating his food.


    Kim saw Ss'' action and sighed. She didn''t know what she''s going to do to get the father and son to reconcile, but she was determined to do her best.


    As long as Chrises back a changed person, she would do her best to reconcile the two. It''s something she felt she must do if she wants to see the family whole again.


    After Ss was done with his food, he took his dishes to the kitchen and washed them, before going back to his room.


    Inside his room, hey on his bed as he looked at the ceiling deep in thought.


    {Does this mean that you no longer intend to actively seek them out yourself?} Luna asked.


    She felt that the reason for Ssing back home was because he scraped his n. Though she can talk to Ss telepathically through the Gear''s neural interface connection, she can''t read his mind.


    "Yes. It''s not worth it," Ss replied.


    {But you got Carl?} She asked.


    "Yeah but he wasn''t the person I made the trip for."


    There was a silence between them for a moment before Luna finally spoke up.


    {Have youe up with another spontaneous n? Is there anything I can help with?} She asked.


    "I think I have a n. I just need to think about it carefully. I have wasted more than enough time."  Ss replied.


    "Let''s continue discussing tomorrow, Luna. I want to get some sleep," Ss said and closed his eyes, and he fell asleep the following moment.
