100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 848  The Last Mission: Reunion

Day Eighty-Nine…

After talking to Butler Li, Nathan immediately left the Syphiruz Mafia Headquarters, heading to SYP Twilight Corp. He didn't know the full details of what happened. But Butler Li was panicking as he spoke over the phone. It looked like Ethan locked himself in the Simulation Room of the facility.

The simulation room was a testing site for the newly developed robots of SYP Twilight Corp.

For a three-year-old boy, it was indeed dangerous to be trapped in that robot testing ground. To divert Ethan's attention away from Monica, Nathan allowed his father, Old Man Xu to bring Ethan to the company. Who would have thought that this incident would happen?

"What's going on here?" Nathan inquired inquisitively as he observed his environment.

The majority of the staff and the security personnel stayed outside the Simulation Ground. There was a large mechanical door in front of them.

"Sir, I'm sorry. It's my fault. Young Master Ethan went missing earlier. Upon checking the CCTV footage, we found out that he entered the Robots Simulation Ground. When we were about to fetch him, we heard a warning alarm and the mechanical door suddenly locked down, not allowing us to enter the room." Butler Li explained to Nathan.

"Where is my father?" "Chairman Xu is with the IT team right now, trying to figure out how to unlock the door."

After hearing that, Nathan proceeded to the control room of the Robotic Facility. There, he found his father talking to the IT experts and the in-charge of the Simulation Room."

"Tell me what caused this to happen?" Nathan asked his employees.

"Sir, we are not certain if there is a glitch in the system or if someone is controlling the Simulation Facility from the inside." The person in charge responded to Nathan worriedly.

The young master was trapped inside, so the pressure on them was so great. They could lose their job if something happened to Ethan.

Nathan's expression turned grim. He experienced one trouble after another. If this was intentional then he wouldn't forgive anyone who was trying to hurt his loved ones. Monica had just died so he couldn't afford to lose Ethan as well.

Nathan didn't waste his time as he took control of the mother computer. He was trying to check the system, finding out if the automatic lockdown of the Simulation Room was just a glitch in the system or if someone intentionally did it to trap Ethan inside.

The staff just remained silent, feeling the heavy tension in their surroundings. They couldn't interrupt their CEO as he personally searched for the root cause of this unusual incident.

The tap-tap sound of the keyboard echoed in the room. Nathan was so focused on decoding something.

It did not take long before several windows appeared on his computer screen. He managed to access and turn on the CCTV cameras inside the Simulation Room. During the lockdown, the cameras were automatically turned off.

Nathan furrowed his eyebrows upon seeing the current situation in the Simulation Room. Several robots were activated, moving around the facility. It looked like someone was instructing them.

'Who the hell turned them on?' Nathan mused to himself.

"Nate, be quick! Look for my grandson!" Old Man Xu spoke from behind. He was also checking the computer screen, searching for Ethan.

Old Man Xu's voice brought Nathan back to his focus. They needed to know Ethan's whereabouts right now.

Nathan pressed the keyboards, his eyes scanning the live footage of the CCTV. He searched for Ethan.

A few minutes later, Nathan finally located Ethan. But the next scene they saw was shocking and unbelievable. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

At the control center of the Simulation Room, they found Ethan sitting leisurely on the couch while enjoying his ice cream and popcorn.

In front of him, there were two robots working on the control center's mother computer.

"Eh? What is this?" Old Man Xu asked Nathan in confusion. "What is my grandson doing there together with the two robots?"

Nathan didn't know whether he should feel relieved or not. He was also puzzled at the scene he was witnessing right now.

'What is my son thinking? He is just a three-year-old kid. Don't tell me he is the one instructing those robots inside the simulation room.' Nathan rubbed the space in between his eyebrows.

"Nate, what are those two robots doing? Can you communicate with them and control them? Tell them to unlock the door now! My grandson seems fine, but for goodness' sake, he's the only human in there! What if the robots malfunction and suddenly attack him?" Old Man Xu spoke spontaneously as he was deeply worried about Ethan.

Nathan took a deep sigh. "Those are the most intelligent robots I made so far. Powy and Riemc. I don't think they will harm my son. However, I have no idea what they are doing. Wait a second. Let me focus the camera and turn the speaker on for us to hear them."

Everyone put their full attention on the mother computer's monitor screen. Soon, they started to hear sounds and voices from the live video footage inside the control center of the Simulation Room.

And they were shocked that Ethan was indeed the one instructing the robots.

"Powy, Riemc, how is it? Have you located my Mommy? How long will it take for you to find her?" Little Ethan's innocent voice echoed in the room.

Old Man Xu looked worriedly at Nathan while the other staff started murmuring with each other.

"This happened because you haven't told Ethan yet about Monica's death." Old Man Xu mumbled. Then his expression shifted when he realized something unbelievable. "But wait, how did he manage to control and instruct those robots? Did you teach him?"

Nathan shook his head in response. "No. I haven't taught him yet. I am supposed to bring those robots to our home as my gifts for Ethan on his 4th birthday."

Old Man Xu was going to ask Nathan another question when suddenly, the two robots spoke aloud, calling Ethan's attention.

"Master! We found her! We found her!"

Nathan and Old Man Xu brought their gaze back to the monitor screen. Ethan stopped eating as he jumped off the couch. He approached the two robots and checked the computer.

"Your mother is here," Powy pointed to something on the screen. It was a location.

Riemc also showed him a video clip.

Ethan's face brightened up as he clapped his hands in excitement.

"Good job! Now, open the gate. I'm going to see my Mommy."

After saying that, Ethan ran toward the large mechanical exit door of the Simulation Room.

"My grandson is on the move. Let's follow him!"

Nathan and Old Man Xu hurriedly went out to chase after Ethan. They were worried that Ethan wouldn't be able to handle the truth about Monica's death.

The young boy kept running until he reached the lobby floor of the SYP Twilight Corp. Nathan already instructed the guards not to let Ethan out of the building.

Upon reaching the lobby floor, Nathan and Old Man Xu searched for Ethan. They saw him standing near the entrance door.

"Ethan!" Nathan called him out but Ethan didn't respond to him.

To his surprise, Ethan ran toward someone as he yelled. "Mommy!!!"

Nathan's eyes widened the moment he recognized the person.

'Phantomflake?'
