Kenneth’s eyes were as red as blood on that metal face “because my simulation was much deeper than yours.” “What do you mean?” “I fell in love with a woman. On the day of the machine’s arrival, I didn’t want to hurt her and even wanted to save the planet she lived on.” “Why have you slept in a black hole for such a long time?” “Someone plotted against me and threw me in the black hole.” He said indifferently. “Maybe that person didn’t expect me to survive. I didn’t wake up until Patrick Lewis’s body died on the Orc planet.” Kahlil almost believed him now, and he was surprised and anxious and said to Kenneth, “But if you’re a machine man, why didn’t you wake up when I woke up in the signal scanning?”“My program of lurking and waking up was used on Earth in the past.” Kenneth said, “Our programs have different codes.” Kahlil took a deep breath, “I never thought... This is so great. The machine civilization will be stronger with you.” Then he was confused again, “Which side are you on?” Kenneth was still calm, “I’m on my own side. His red eyes were soft, “The machine men are my people, and humans are her people. I’ll protect all of them.” “Her? Kahlil thought that the story millions of years ago must be exciting and remarkable. “She’s Emerald Wilson.” Kenneth said with a resolution, “It has always been her.” Then Kahlil thought of Evan Silas, “Do you want to kill Evan Silas?” Kenneth said coldly, “He has to die.” Maybe Kahlil knew little about Kenneth, but he knew Patrick Lewis a lot. He had never been interested in women except for Emerald Wilson. He would be cruel to the one who hurt Emerald. But now he is Kenneth Silas! Did he still love her so much when he was not in the simulated body? He couldn’t help but wonder whether it was Kenneth who simulated Patrick or if it was Patrick who influenced Kenneth. Kahlil felt flustered when thinking about this, and he asked another question, “What do you want me to do?” Kenneth said lightly, “It’s easy for me to kill Evan Silas because his crystalloid was a few levels lower than mine. I want you to change the basic program of the machine men so that they won’t listen to Evan Silas. I don’t want to sacrifice more people because of my own personal grudge against Evan Silas.” Kahlil had expected that he would say so. Otherwise, he would kill Evan Silas the first time they met. Certainly, he would endure Evan for such a long time as Kenneth Silas because he wanted much more than Evan’s life.“You don’t think I can do it?” Kahlil asked angrily. “Humans had already cracked your codes.” His anger did not influence Kenneth, and his voice was even colder, “If you don’t cooperate with me, our species will suffer a lot when fighting with humans and team Yoman. Besides, you and Evan Silas will die.” Kahlil was astonished, “Although you help him if they know you are a machine man...” Kenneth smiled, “They don’t need to know.” Then he suddenly asked, “It’s time for you to choose. Do you want to help me or not?” Kahlil had thought of many possibilities, but he was beaten by reality. Kenneth was right. There was no chance that they could win. Furthermore, Kenneth was a member of the royal family. No one could fight against him if he released the power of the crystalloid. It was a program written in machine men by the father of their country, Sayers Silas. No one could resist this program for millions of years.Besides, Kenneth wanted different things from Evan Silas. He wanted peace and equality. Maybe in Calman’s subconsciousness, he also wanted to be peaceful with humans instead of enslaving them. “Okay, I’ll help you.” Kahlil ground his teeth, “But on one condition, which is you can’t hurt Evan Silas.” Kenneth smiled coldly and walked to Kahlil. He stared at Kahlil with his eyes as red as fire, “He captured my woman and took my son. I would’ve torn him into pieces for the first time I met him if he hadn’t made great contributions to the Empire.” Kahlil took a deep breath, “Is that your son or Patrick Lewis’s son?” Kenneth’s eyes were darker, and his metal arms were as fast as lightning. Before Kahlil dodged him, he lifted Kahlil by his neck. The feeling of suffocating and pain suddenly made Kahlil’s face pale. Kenneth’s strength was so strong that even the second strongest man in the army couldn’t beat him. “Don’t think that I won’t kill you.” Kenneth gradually tightened up his hand, which made it harder for Kahlil to breathe. “You know I’m willing to die in your hand.” Kahlil stared at him with his blue eyes. Kenneth was silent and loosened his hand. Then Kahlil fell to the ground. Kahlil coughed heavily, and there were bruises on his neck. He slightly raised his head and looked at the metal legs, “I’ll save Evan Silas just like the day when I saved Patrick Lewis. I only have this request. If you don’t promise me, then we can declare war! Let the king kill his machine men and destroy the First Civilization.” “Fine, I won’t kill Evan Silas.” Kenneth stared at the man who was at his feet, “But Heath Ledger must die.” When Kahlil and Kenneth went to see Evan together, Evan Silas didn’t feel weird.Kahlil showed him a program that he “accidentally” got. According to the results of this program, the human rebel army underground had obtained Viper’s leading technology. “The rebel army filled the biggest gap between our technology and humans.” Kahlil said, “Commander, we have to upgrade all the fighters.” Evan said solemnly, “Where is the rebel army?” Kahlil answered calmly. “They have all killed themselves with poisons. I will keep tracking their leaders.” “Malcolm Gerald, Harrison Gates, Harvey McAdams...” Evan said the name one by one, “I can’t believe they can still do so many things after Patrick Lewis died. Arrest them all.” Kenneth was still silent, and Kahlil said, “Yes, sir.” “I can help Kahlil.” Kenneth said lightly, “The process of upgrading the program will be faster with my energy field.” Evan nodded, “Yes.” After the military meeting ended, Evan asked Kahlil to stay. It seemed that Kenneth didn’t worry that Kahlil would betray him and left undisturbed. But Evan didn’t want to ask Kahlil about the army. “My people haven’t found Emerald.” Evan said coldly, “There was no trace of them on those asteroids you think Seth may leap to.” “That’s impossible.” Kahlil was surprised, “Only those asteroids had gravity in that region. They have nowhere to hide.” “I have been patient enough.” Evan looked at him sharply, “If it still needs more time to find them, I don’t think I can keep my promise. You’d better think about it.” Kahlil said sarcastically, “Commander, you don’t believe in me?” Evan looked at him, “because Patrick Lewis has always been more important to you than the Empire.” Kahlil was silent for a while, and he raised his head, “Brother, maybe you should forget about that woman.” Evan’s eyes darkened, he said coldly, “You don’t need to say more.” Kahlil nodded, “Okay, brother, I know. But I hope you know that everything I do is the future of the Empire. I have always been loyal to the First Civilization. That never changes.” That afternoon, Kahlil and Kenneth prepared to upgrade the fighters.
