Pride Online

Chapter 697: Viola (3) Part V

“Have you ever thought that it was strange, kid? For a boy so young, you had to learn all those unnecessary things?”

“...”

Wisana was speechless. Everything was so confusing.

“The difference between you and other kids is one thing. Now, about your dad...” Lucius continued. “It seems like it says that your dad was Mavin in your information? Don’t make me laugh! That prick got you under his wings? In the end, it was only something that the organization created to not make it suspicious!”

“...What the hell are you talking about, Lucius?!” Wisana yelled at him so loudly before he turned to his mom. “Say something, mom. Tell me that this wretched man’s lying!”

Viola was still quiet. Lucius let out a long sigh.

“Mavin isn’t your dad, kid,” Lucius said.

“Shut up!!” Wisana shouted.

“He’s one of the organization people who keeps an eye on the full-grown Signerater like you and reports to the organization. Have you ever doubted why your parents got divorced without your mom saying anything about it?”

“I said shut up!!”

Lucius beamed.

“I don’t know if you can take it, but it’s the truth that you can’t escape. Your real father’s Winter, or Wisana, Payu’s son.”

“SHUT UP~~~!!!”

It was not only Wisana, but Viola also screamed at the top of her lungs. She looked up at Lucius with her shining eyes.

“You... A man like you doesn’t understand shit. You have no right to say his name!”

Wisana was even more confused with how restless his mom was. Lucius and Scarlet laughed loudly.

“You’re finally awake, Viola. Now, care to elaborate?”

Viola halted and turned to look at Wisana, who was about to lose his mind. He could only shake his head. Even though everything seemed to be crazy, something in Wisana was telling him that the red-haired man was right...

“....”

Wisana was speechless. Eventually, Viola breathed in.

“It’s... the truth.”

She tried to hold her tears back.

“Mavin isn’t your dad and you’re not ordinary, Wisana. You’ve been modified with me being a medium for you to improve your growth from the chromosome level...”

“No way...”

Wisana smiled vaguely. He shook his head.

“You’re created by artificial insemination from Winter’s semen. You’re expected to be the king who controls everything. You have the duty to complete for this world.”

“No... No, no, no, no.” Wisana shook his head quickly.

“And I’m Viola, the woman who was chosen to be a vessel for the king. My Signetic is strong enough to create the king. I was chosen to bear and prepare you for the right time to connect with Alice. I’m...”

“SHUT UP!!!!”

Once Viola got to say it, everything rushed out of her mouth. The boy yelled at her so loudly. His eyes rolled around like those of a madman. He beamed.

“You can’t trick me, Lucius!” Wisana said with tears running down his face. “This woman isn’t my mom. You think you can trick me with the AI you created? T... This woman isn’t my mom. My mom won’t do things like that. She can be brutal and strict when she trains me, but she loves me very much. Pa is my dad. They fight a lot, but they love each other. Yes... I was born from their love, not the artificial insemination...”

“Na, listen to me.” Viola tried to speak.

“Shut up!!!”

Wisana shouted like a madman. Lucius and Scarlet frowned and sighed pitifully.

Wisana was still smiling, but it was the smile of a person who was about to lose it. Tears kept running down his face more and more.

“Don’t call me that. You’re not my mom. My mom’s never been in Pride. Yes~ She hates Pride because it’s the company that Pa’s working for. I also have a big sister and a little sister. How can all of this be true?” Wisana pouted and closed his eyes tightly. “...It’s true that my mom’s very cruel when she trains me, but she’s very gentle when she dresses my wounds. It’s true that she’s never praised me, but she’s just shy. Pa loves me, too. He protects me. There’s no way he’d be from that freaking organization. You can’t fool me, Lucius!”

He laughed so loudly that Viola finally let out her tears.

“This is an AI, not my mom... This is an AI, not my mom...”

He could only repeat that.

He had been through so much for one day. It was too much for him to handle anymore. He’s tired. He’s weak. Had he been deceived by everyone, even his mom? His family was a lie? No way, no way, no way, no way...

“Look at him, Viola...”

Lucius finally spoke. He looked irritated.

“That’s what you and the organization have done. What do you think about the result? As sweet as you thought it’d be? Ah, I forgot that you wouldn’t feel anything since you ‘raised’ this boy up like a heartless machine. He’s only a tool for the organization to conquer the world!”

Viola gritted her teeth and looked at Lucius with angry eyes.

“You’re babbling too much, Lucius. You don’t understand shit!”

“And I don’t want to understand,” Lucius said. “I think this boy won’t, either. Look at him, the boy who’s been calling you mom for twenty years.”

Viola turned to Wisana again. The boy was facing down to the ground, shaking. He kept saying ‘She’s not my mom. This isn’t true.’ to himself over and over again.

“Na, listen to me and not to him. I love you...”

“Stop joking around!!”

Wisana shouted again as if he had already lost it.

His eyes were all wet. His lips were bloody. He bit his lip so hard that it bled.

“You’re not my mom. How can this crazy stuff be real?”

“....”

Viola pressed her lips. She cried so much that she did not know what to do. She had never thought that it would come this far.

“That’s enough.”

Lucius had enough of this. He squeezed Wisana’s neck and lifted him off the ground again. The boy did not resist this time. The amber eyes were so confused that he did not want to move.

“I’ll end this drama myself.” He looked at Wisana. “Don’t worry, kid. You’ll be free soon. I’ll destroy the organization and this world now.”

“Stop it, Lucius!” Viola screamed. “Na, run away. Don’t let him do it. You’re the only chance for this world. Not for the organization, but for this world!”

There was no response from the boy. Wisana did not even glance at his mom. His heart had been shattered.

“It’s too late, Viola. Your beautiful words can’t pull him down anymore.”

Then, Lucius put his hand on Wisana’s chest and emitted a bright light. So many information screens popped up around Wisana.

“Alice, analyze and distract the AI data out of his kid.”

“Yes, master.”

A woman’s voice sounded softly. The light grew even brighter. Wisana slowly closed his eyes as if he was giving up on everything. His body and mind were so beat up.

Ding~

Suddenly, a sweet voice sounded from Wisana’s body. It was a sound effect that came with Jinnie every time she was called. There, a golden-haired girl rushed out of Wisana and tried to run away as fast as she could.
