My Bio-Nanotech System

Chapter 14: If Everything Had An Other Side, What Is That Of Beauty

"What a perfect time. Arriving just when a family-together dinner is just three seconds away. What a perfect time..." The excited voice of a lady rang out as a group of five, Khan included sat around a dining table.

One of the figures was the pink-haired Aurelia and the other was a slightly older one with purple hair.

From what he could gather, she was Aurelia's older sister and goes by the name, Lilith.

Then was an older woman snuggling Aurelia tightly like she wanted to squeeze her out of her skin.

She was a middle-aged woman with long pink hair like Aurelia's as she held Aurelia tightly in her bosom, giving her a smooch on her cheeks.

But the person who drew Khan's attention the most was the middle-aged man in front of him with short purple hair and eyes.

From Khan's senses, he could sense a massive amount of danger from the man who never broke off his eye contact with him for a single second.

Sitting beside such a dangerous person, greatly unnerved him and he felt super uncomfortable.

"So did you want to tell us about your experiment in Suicides City or you want to tell us about how you met with your boyfriend first..." Sophia asked as she stared at her cutest last daughter whose face soon turned into a shade of pink.

"Mama!!!" Aurelia said with an embarrassed expression as Sophia giggled, her eyes sneaking past the face of the golden-haired young man and noticing the spark in the air between her husband and the golden-haired young man.

"Or honey, what do you think?" Sophia asked, jabbing at him as Atherston finally directed his gaze away from the young man and faced her wife before looking at Aurelia as a smile broke out on his otherwise stiff face.

"Let's talk while eating..." Atherston said raising his cup as the small family dived into their dinner session, in addition to the silent anomaly.

The dinner session continued as Aurelia continued her tale and the family's shock was clearly present on their face when she mentioned the mishap in the lab.

From the little conversation, Khan learned of Aurelia's identity and it seemed her appearance at the lab In Suicides City was due to trying to test a new serum created by her family.

He also learned Aurelia was the rare chatterbox as all the official, even regal aura, she normally had all disappeared strangely and she ended up narrating the entire scene, including the scenes of him saving her life, fighting the werewolf and also killing a hundred others.

Immediately the group's face changed on hearing her account as their eyes held slight horror unable to believe the gentle and shy-looking young man in front of them murdered 100 others in cold blood.

But unlike the group, Atherston immediately stood up from his seat and gave a small bow to Khan.

"I don't what you're or what your true identity is. But I'm extremely grateful for you saving my daughter's life..." Atherston said as Khan remained quiet for some time unable to believe what was going on.

He was expecting them to call him some sort of freak after hearing Aurelia's narration and soon chase him out of their home with a smile but what he received was appreciation and a pretty genuine one too from the man who was staring daggers at him, just seconds ago.

"It's nothing..." Khan replied with a smile as he pushed off the matter quickly and the dinner soon ended after the family discussed other personal matters.

"If you don't mind, can I have some words with you..." Atherston said as they stood up from the seat.

"Yes, sure..." Khan replied, following after him.

"And don't you two dare stay all night late, chatting. Go to sleep!!!" Atherston said in a fierce tone causing Aurelia to purse her lips and a small giggle to escape Lillith's lips.

Immediately Khan moved out with Atherston as they exited the dinner room climbing up rows of elliptical steps and finally arriving at the small opening at the roof of the massion, a place where the views of the city were greatly evident and provided quite the refreshing taste for the eyes.

"Beautiful isn't it?" Atherston said as he reclined on the iron stand looking into the distant city, brimming with light and life.

"Every beautiful thing has its ugly side..." Khan replied, his eyes not appreciating the sight at all.

Suicides City was just like this, beautiful and secure looking at first sight, yet he was well aware of the undercurrents surging beneath it.

"You're completely right. It's so obvious yet 80% of the population fail to see..."

"It shows you're doing quite a good job," Khan replied looking at purple purple-haired middle-aged man beside him whose face flashed with slight surprise which disappeared just as quickly as it came.

"You're very smart..."-
