Chapter 173: Where Did It All Go Wrong?
When he asked the question, the last thing Dante expected was for Finn to get up and run away. Although he had a feeling that the topic was a sore spot for the boy, he couldn’t help but think the reaction was a bit over the top.
Letting his thoughts linger for some time, Dante then turned his eyes to the yellow gym bag on the floor. Despite everything he said about the AI being his friend, the brat still left him there and ran.
[Dante: So? Are you gonna tell me or what?]
[Jake: Tell you what?]
[Dante: Do you need some reprogramming or something?] Pursing his lips, Dante types another text. [Why’s the little shit after Jaguar?]
[Jake: If you’re so smart then figure it out yourself, asshole.]
[How rude.] Volcan said. [Maybe some deprogramming is needed after all.]
’Yeah...’ Heaving a long sigh, Dante lay down on his back, banishing the heavy thoughts from his mind. ’Let’s deal with this another time. Focus on our current trouble.’
The last thing he needed right now was to bother himself with the impatient brat. Three weeks have passed since he obtained VOLCAN, and just when the fear of being tracked down began to fade, he went and pulled that stunt right in front of the people he was trying to avoid. Not only that, but he also made a new enemy along the way, practically doubling the number of people coming after him.
Dante felt that he was back to when he woke up in The Clinic after killing Aegis. It will be quite a while before he is able to regain some of the peace of mind he had enjoyed, but considering the things he did and those he planned to do, it doesn’t feel like he would get a break anytime soon.
