“If someone has to go, then let me go.” He held his hand tightly. Emerald could do nothing but cry. She said that women in the labor field all knew who she was and took care of her. But Patrick wouldn’t let her go. She stayed at home anxiously till noon, but the machine men didn’t come to catch her. In the afternoon, someone was knocking on their door. Patrick took a knife, holding Emerald, and walked slowly to the door with the help of a walking stick. Patrick was surprised when he saw the people outside through the crack of the door. He opened the door coldly and let Emerald help him to sit on the sofa. Emerald turned around and saw Calman walk in with a dark face. No, he was Kahlil Silas. He was as handsome as usual, and he seemed calm. He walked to the sofa and sat down just like before. “Do you feel better?” He looked at Patrick. Patrick stared at him sharply and didn’t answer him. Kahlil seemed to be choked. He waited and said, “Patrick, it was at the arrival of the machines that I realized that I was a machine man.” “What is wrong with you?” Emerald couldn’t stand him and said angrily, “Thank you for saving my husband. But you have killed countless people in this war, even not directly!” Kahlil looked at Emerald, “My sister-in-law, I have told the garrison that you don’t need to work to let the child grow up healthily. I’ll send the food you need. But Patrick is the one the machine men paid the most attention to, so he still has to work.” Patrick was still silent, and Emerald was confused. What Kahlil offered them was actually what they needed the most. Emerald was really worried something would happen to the baby if she kept working like this. But what was Kahlil’s purpose? Why did he, a machine man, help humans? Kahlil seemed to realize that they were confused, so he said lightly, “We may be different species, but I have always treated you as my brother and my sister-in-law. Two hundred years ago, I found this planet and hid here in order to prepare for the arrival of the machine. It was just a military task for me. I hope you can understand.” Patrick was surprised before he started talking, Emerald suddenly said, “Two hundred years ago?” Kahlil nodded, “You humans have traveled for thousands of lightyears in space, but we, the first machine civilization, have traveled for millions of lightyears. When the resources of one planet are run out, we will send the most excellent soldiers to take a fighter to travel further. Most of these machine men will die because of the lack of energy, but some can be very lucky to find a new civilization, for example, me. When I arrived here, I simulated the life of Calman Henry and his father.” “Simulate?” Emerald was more and more frightened when she listened to Kahlil’s story. “Yes.” Kahlil said, “I simulated the lives of some important humans in order to make the attack easier. The real Calman had died a long time ago. I simulated his appearance, his personality, and his hobbies. Everything. In order to make this real, I, myself, didn’t know about this. Until the machine army traveled for thousands of light-years to here according to the signal I sent them a long time ago, I didn’t know I was a machine man. That radiation signal was to wake me up.” “If you didn’t know who you were, then why did you put a tracking device on our fighters?” Emerald asked angrily. Kahlil touched his forehead with one hand, which was a habit when he was still Calman Henry, because of the headache. But now, he did it only because he was used to it.“Maybe it was the program that was set in my body before.” He said in a low voice, “I didn’t remember what I did. But as a soldier of the Empire Army, I will still do this even when I’m awake.” “You can go now if you come here to tell us this.” Patrick laughed coldly, “You have your responsibility, and I have mine.” Kahlil nodded, “I don’t need your forgiveness because the benefit of the Empire is the most important thing for me. But I want you to know that in my heart, a machine man’s heart, the friendship between Patrick and me was real. I’ll try my best to protect your family. I came here to remind you today,” he looked at Emerald, “That you can’t let Evan Silas know about Stonehenge.” Emerald was surprised, and Patrick became more serious. Kahlil kept saying, “I have deleted the logbooks of some senior officers about that war. It would be best if you also told your men not to mention it with the machine men. If Evan Silas knows that Emerald can wake up the Stonehenge, he must be very interested, which will be a huge trouble.” Kahlil left them with a phone. He told them it was the internal communication channel of the machine man. They could find him with this phone if they got in trouble. Patrick was silent for a while and finally said to Emerald, “You have done the right thing. He is useful to us.” Emerald didn’t let Patrick talk just now because she knew he couldn’t forgive Kahlil since he treated Kahlil as his brother. She couldn’t forgive Kahlil, either. But their situation could be better with Kahlil’s help at this time. After leaving Patrick’s home, Kahlil took a private plane to go back to Freedom City in the northern hemisphere. The mansion of Patrick before was now the commanding center for the machine man. The moment he walked into the living room of the main building, he saw a huge alloy cage that was as tall as two people. Veronica was sitting in the corner of the cage, naked. She held her knees with her hands, and her eyes were open but as hollow as a dead person. He didn’t know Veronica very much, so he didn’t feel sorry for her when he saw her like this. He walked to the second floor and saw Evan was reading a book about Patrick’s. “Commander, the humans were living their lives according to your rules. The production lines of the fighters, ammunition, and new machine men have been founded. I’ll let the humans start the production as soon as possible.” He said respectfully. “Kahlil Silas,” Evan put down the book and stared at him with his red, cold eyes,” You make me disappointed.” Kahlil was frightened, but he pretended to be confused, “My brother, why do you say this?”
