Clearly, he did not want to talk about it. Sarah just looked at me. I looked back. Since she was my ex, I smiled and waved politely to her. Her lips curled up into a half smile. "Hello." she said. That was all that I was going to get. I guess even that was too much for Keith's liking because he scowled at me. They hurried on their way after that. Since I was in a mood, I decided to go to Nikolas's apartment. I made my way up and I got to the hallway before a new PEP unit stopped me. "You are not allowed here." she said. I looked at her and said "I need to speak with Nikolas." She just repeated herself. I ignored her and yelled down the hall towards their door. Emil opened it and glared at me. "Didn't he say you can't visit!? Go away before we make you leave." I raised an eyebrow "You really want to start a war with my clan. I'll snuff you all out myself." "You can't be serious!" he said. "Run back every single time I did something you did not think was possible. Let me in." I told him. He groaned out loud. "Let him in." he said. I then went in the apartment. I saw Nikolas feeding the baby with a bottle.
Now that I saw them, I knew that they were doing fine. I looked at Nikolas. He just looked at me. "You doing okay?" I asked. "My systems are functioning at the standard parameters." was his answer. "Good to hear." I said. It was all that I wanted to know. "Well, that was all. You have a new clanmate." I observed out loud. He nodded and said "We needed more hands to bring in more money. We have 2 X-frames thanks to you, but we are going to need more. Once we get the money, we are going to buy a semen replicator. From there, we can breed ourselves more members." I gave him enough credits for 2 of them. He just rolled his eyes. "You should have just allowed me to breed with you if you still had feelings for me." he said. I shook my head. "I did not want that. Look at you. Making headway towards starting a powerful clan of your own." I said before turning. I left the apartment building right after. I answered my phone when it began to ring. It was Brett calling me. I heard lots of gun fire and people were screaming. "I think I fucked up. All of those syndicate guys are after me now." he said.
He was holding out in the Red Grind. I made my way there and tried to help out. I got my ass kicked instead. I had to dive under the bar for cover. Brett and the others were there. "Who the hell is that!?" I shouted at him over the sound of mini rockets being fired at us. Paul was glaring at Brett. "Tell him what happened." he commanded angrily. Brett groaned as he looked at me. "I saw a bunch of guys waiting to ambush you. I went over and started talking smack. They got in my and face and threatened me. I killed them all." I nodded. "How did this guy get here?" I asked. It didn't make sense that I was almost 1-shot by the guy. "That was a day ago. You know how many people they send nowadays. I got put on the hit list. But my level was 999. If they scale according to level to make it a challenge..." he trailed off. I got the picture. In the game the highest level for a Player was 999. The game only let Sages and deities get levels in the 1000s. In order to compensate for this Player needing a challenging assassin, the game needed to go above the limit. In other words, the game generated a god.
