The Author's POV
Chapter 418
"This isn't good..."
Staring at the projection where Emma and Aaron appeared, my face darkened and my heart sped up a little.
I suddenly felt an ominous premonition.
'...I should've seen this coming.'
I should've seen the possibility of Aaron getting matched up with someone like Emma. Or rather, I knew about the possibility, but I still chose to ignore it.
Normally, I wouldn't have worried, but the current Aaron was not in the right state of mind.
Of course, he wasn't.
I made sure he wasn't.
Back then, when I had taken him outside of the building, I didn't just go to him with the goal of beating him up to satiate my thirst for revenge.
No, things were a lot more complicated than that.
After Waylan and Douglas took him away from me, and after I regained myself, they quickly gave him back to me at my request.
I told them that I had a plan in mind. The both of them did not refuse but made me promise not to kill him, which I didn't.
Once I gained their permission, I gave Aaron more sedatives to keep him knocked out.
From there, I had Ryan create a small chip that was similar to mine and have it installed in his brain. That took about a day to do, and with the aid of a potion, I was able to remove any trace of anything ever happening to him.
After having learned a lot through the teachings of Jomnuk, Ryan was now able to create an almost perfect replicate of the chip, well, at least the tracking part of it, which was exactly what I needed.
After installing the chip, I also injected him with a little bit of the serum. The one that the Monolith injected me over and over again.
The intent behind such a move was so that traces of the serum would be found inside of his body, increasing the links to him possibly being 876.
Of course, there was much more to it in the plan than that. After all, there was countless evidence pointing to the fact that he couldn't possibly be 876, but I already had a solution for this.
Anyhow, the point was that the current Aaron was no longer the previous Aaron. His current state of mind was akin to what I had experienced not too long ago.
He was now extremely dangerous, and I was worried that something was going to happen.
Vrrr— Vrrr— Lowering my head and glancing at my watch that had just vibrated, I quickly tapped on its screen. It was a message from Ryan.
[Permission to access granted]
[On] [Off]
Without hesitation, I pressed the [On] switch.
Raising my head and staring in the direction of where Emma and Aaron were, I secretly clenched my fists before gazing in the direction of where the referee was.
'...She shouldn't die from this.'
Hopefully, the referee should have no problem stopping the fight before anything bad happened.
Crossing my arms, and glancing in the direction of Kevin's match, I secretly prayed that nothing bad happened.
If something happened to Emma...I really couldn't tell how Kevin would react.

An eerie silence enveloped platform [5] as Aaron and Emma stared off.
At the moment, they were both just waiting for the referee to begin the match.
As the two stared at each other, Aaron, whose face was slightly sunken and had glaring black circles underneath his eyes, opened his mouth.
