“Sophia Worthington and the other two? You mean he’s with their organization?” Finn Lewis curiously asked. It would be worth your bookmarking the website.

“If my collected information is correct, he should be the one known as Golden Blade in their organization!” Olivia Thatcher said. “But there’s limited information about him, and thus some very scarce data left online. If he hadn’t been surveilling us these past few days, I might not have been able to gather information about him.”

Finn nodded, thought for a moment, and then asked, “Where is he?”

“On the rooftop of the building opposite us. One of the two villas on that rooftop was sold just a few days ago. He is the new owner of that villa and has been there for four days,” Olivia quickly replied.

“Several days? Which means he’s been watching us for more than a day? Why did you only just tell me?” Finn asked, finding it strange. Olivia used to inform Finn promptly when something was up. Why had she taken so long this time?

“His disguise was excellent. According to my analysis, he’s 70% likely to be a resident. He had moved many astronomical telescopes to his villa, with many models directly installed on the rooftop. Based on aggregate data analysis, the likelihood that he is a resident is over 70%. I wouldn’t have noticed if he hadn’t hacked into the local police system with his laptop, coincidentally triggering a bait program I had set up,” Olivia succinctly explained.

Finn was stunned for a moment before realizing something. Despite all the human-like responses, Olivia still functioned as a computer. Regardless of how human-like her simulations could be, she remained an AI and communicated based on data. If someone like Kevin Worthington saw the man, he’d probably start to doubt him – no matter how well he acted – purely out of instinct.

Often people suspect others because of an innate sense of distrust, not because they possess any concrete evidence. Intelligent programs like Olivia draw conclusions from evidence and analysis. But it doesn’t matter. There’s no way he will be able to hide from Olivia and the defense network made up of intelligent robots and armed robots like T1000 if he has any motive.

Truth be told, Charles Mason was the first person to hide this long under Olivia’s vigilance. His name has a ring to it. “I’m going to pay him a visit,” Finn declared with interest, immediately standing up.

Although it wasn’t dark yet, it didn’t matter to Finn. Using the invisibility feature of the Little Wildcat Protective Suit, Finn went downstairs. Further, Olivia had informed him that he wasn’t being watched at that point. Twenty minutes later, Finn arrived undetected at the front door of the villa. Once Olivia confirmed that no one was watching, Finn deactivated the suit’s invisibility.

Seeing that the suit’s energy level was below 50%, Finn knew he would need to recharge it soon. But even 50% energy was enough for him to use for a long time. Although T1000 didn’t accompany Finn, its powerful scanning capabilities had informed Finn of everything inside the villa via Olivia.

Upon reaching the entrance, the door with an electronic password lock opened automatically, and Finn walked in without a second thought. As he entered the living room, he saw Charles Mason heading in from the kitchen.

Charles Mason gave Finn the impression of a college professor type, including his gold-rimmed glasses and average physique. Around 1.8 meters tall, Charles Mason was taken aback at the sight of Finn. Not a moment’s delay, he flung his mug of milk at Finn and immediately lunged at him.

Dodging the incoming milk mug, Finn showed off his prowess. According to Olivia, his response capability was top-tier among humans worldwide, as he was on the verge of exceeding human limits.

“Young Master, be careful. He has very good physical fitness,” Olivia warned in Finn’s ear.

Depending on who you compare it to, Finn was in a different league. Even the strongest person in the world wouldn’t stand a chance against Finn. What’s more, Finn was wearing the Little Wildcat Protective Suit. But despite the protection, Finn was made to fluster by Charles. As it turns out, one still instinctively flinches when targeted where it hurts.

Moreover, Finn was considerably lacking in terms of combat skills. Without formal fighting training yet against an expert like Charles, Finn was barely evading the powerful blows. During the dodges, he could even feel the air currents stirred by Charles’ fists.

But Finn was lightning-fast too. Despite having zero formal training, Finn relied on his superhuman reflexes to fend off Charles’ attacks. Both figures flipped in and out of sight around the not-so-spacious room. Initially, Finn was struggling but he was also gradually adapting and retaliating. Finn’s physical strength far outweighed Charles’. Once Finn launched a punch that Charles had to fend off with both arms, it was clear that Charles was bound to lose.

With a faint “crack” sound and the sharp pain that came from his arms, Charles gasped. He’d been hit by Finn before, but with some dodging techniques he reduced the impact. That’s why he only knew of Finn’s strength, but never thought it to be this immense.

The severe pain in his forearms made Charles run away without a second thought. He was near the door, so as soon as he decided he was no match for Finn, he made a beeline for the exit. However, he was doomed to be disappointed. As soon as he reached the door, he froze.
