Human Binary: The Unrivalled King of Technology

"What do you mean such an amount? How much is $50? That's nothing to me. I can give you ten times the amount" Raising her voice. Lola puffed out her chest slightly, a proud smile appeared on her beautiful round mouth. 'Let see how you behave arrogantly now.'

Now, everyone had their gaze on Emma, looking at him in disdain. Emma was lost for words. He didn't understand what's going on in the minds of these rich people. 'I guess 50 means nothing to these people'

Emma opened his bag and brought out a grey box used in receiving huge amounts of money, pointing it toward Lola.

"My bracelet will not accept such an amount of money," Emma announced.

"Oh!" Lola snickered. She swiped her bracelet against the grey box and Emma received the money.

Beep! Beep!

Emma receives the notification on his phone. Checking it, Emma widened his eyes.

"Are you kidding me?"

"What do you mean? I send the money to you, don't you receive it? Are possibly a liar also." Lola couldn't hide the disdain in her face.

"Something is wrong with your head. Why would I ask you for $50!" Emma raised his voice.

Hearing this, Lola and the people in the coach had their jaw dropped, dumbfounded.

"I ask you to pay $50 million. You are sending me $50. If something is not wrong with your head. Then what?"

50 what!

….

The train descended into a perfect silence with everyone's jaw on the ground. Two minutes later, Emma could not keep it cool anymore. 'Did I say something I shouldn't say? Hmm, Lily?'

>>Don't ask me… Can't you see everyone's expression… Ha! Ha! Ha! But I enjoy it. You also get me at first. I don't know if you are asking for such an amount. Ha! Ha! You're my student. Only my student could pull this stunt with a straight face. God! It's been long since I laughed like this.

Emma realized the problem from Lily's words. So, they thought I'm asking for $50. Uh! But everyone inside the first-class train should know everything relating to money will be dealt in millions. Forget. I need to collect my pay.'

"Are you going to pay or what? Everyone here deals with millions…" Emma looked at Lola not caring at how everyone looked at him. "Or else you want to go back on your word."

Hearing Emma, everyone realized he was not joking. He meant it. But when did seating beside someone inside a first-class train worth $50 million? However, none of them had the intention of meddling in the middle water.

  'My playfulness has got me where I never expected I would find myself. Truly, everything has been easy for me so far. Now, I'm beating myself in my own game. But it won't end there. I never lose.' Lola is determined in her mind.

"Who said I'm not paying…" Lola snickered. She looked at one of her subordinates and quickly a young man brought a grey box for Lola. Transferring the money to Emma. Lola's heart dripped blood. Though $50 million wasn't much to her. But the thought of paying it just to sit with a body made her want to puke blood. On top of it, Emma's irritating smile.

"Now, can I sit beside you?" Lola grumbled.

"Why not. The chair is yours. You can do anything you want with it. I don't mind if you carry the chair to your seat." Emma announced with a straight face. 'Wow, I never imagine gaining free money 

'Lily, are you not going to support me?'

>>… This girl is more gullible than I think. I don't follow losers. But since you're my student. I support you.

'Seriously. I don't need your support!'

Emma and Lily bantered, forgetting the awkward Lola. Emma's response gave her a headache. Lola didn't know what to do. 'How foolish of me.' Some of the people couldn't contain their laughter. While some were gossiping and mocking her for her foolishness.

'Since I pay… I must sit beside him.' Lola bashfully sat beside Emma.

"So… what do you do?" She asked.

"AI engineer" Emma turned his head toward her.

>>Good! Good! Just like me. You're using your head.

'Don't interrupt my train of thought with your narcissist words.'

Hearing Emma, it stupefied Lola, but she didn't let it show on her face. "Automobile." 'What is an AI engineer expert doing in this backward place? Uh, I guess there's more to it.'

"What are you doing in this backward city?" She asked, staring at Emma's face, trying to read his expression.

"I got a lucrative business deal…." Emma took a cup of wine from the serving robot. "No one can say no to money, right?"

"Yeah. In the presence of money, no place is backward. Since the money won't be returned." Lola chuckled.

Ha! Ha! Ha!

"You get it! Anything to make money." Emma laughed, gulping the wine in a single motion. The awkward atmosphere between them diffuses. They both laughed while those people in the coach looked at them with wide eyes. 

Eccentric! Both are weird.

Not minding how the people looked at them. Emma and Lola joked and talked with each other laughing at each other's jokes. No one could previously guess they both have a misunderstanding.

"Ha! Ha! I'm happy to find a friend like you." Lola stood with champagne in her right hand, gulping it in one motion. "Your turn! Your turn!" She dragged Emma's arm.

"Ha! Ha! I'm happy to find a… beautiful… lovely… friend… like you." Emma gulped his champagne, looking at Lola. "Friend forever!!" He raised his voice.

"Friend forever!!"

"Please lower your voice. You're disturbing others." A mechanical voice came from a spider robot. "This is your last warning." With that, the robot left.

Emma and Lola looked at each other and started to laugh hysterically. "See, a worm is telling us what to do." Lola rolled her eyes.

  "Forget it! it's just a worm." Emma replied.

They sat and continued to gist between themselves. No one could understand what they were saying. Suddenly, A voice came from the speaker.

"Listen, everyone, this is the captain. An unknown interference, obstructing our route. We need to slow down to pass the interference. Thank you."

The captain's voice quieted while everyone digested the sudden announcement. Emma and Lola stopped their joke and thought about the announcement. After a few minutes, the train slows down exponentially.

'What type of interference could stop the speed of the train.' Emma thought. 'This is not normal. Probably an ambush.'

[[The train is under attack. The train defense system is about to be breached in 10 seconds]] Zeus' voice came from Emma's comms.

>>Your honeymoon won't go according to plan. 

Hearing this, Emma's expression didn't change. He turned to Lola "Do you know what's going on. You're in the Automobile business you may probably have an idea of what is going on."

The lively atmosphere on the train was tense. Everywhere became quiet only the security robot moved up and down, securing the door. People hide in their chairs with wariness in their eyes. 

"I don't know what is going on. I deal with cars not trains, Manny…." Lola pouted. 

"We are under attack! I repeat! We are under attack….! Please stay in your seat and don't move…. The security robot will secure every coach." The Captain announced. "We've sent a rescue signal. Don't panic, help is coming."

[[Master, you must get to the control room. Only you can override the virus.]]

Emma listened to Zeus' analysis with rapt attention while he controlled the expression on his face. 'This an attack from professional hijackers. I just wanna enjoy a moment of peace on the train. Why! Why can't you choose the next train to hijack… Sighed.'

Four strong-built men stood from their seats and sat around Lola with their gazes roaming the coach for any anomalies. Watching this, the tension in the coach was raised by another bar. Lola watched her aid without uttering a word. 'Are they here for me? But how?!' She bit the edge of her lips. Her previous cheerfulness disappeared, now filled with solemnness. She rubs her brow frequently, looking at the floor, avoiding the questioning gaze from Emma.

'What do you want… Can you not look at me like that…. Don't make me feel guilty. I know nothing!' She shouted in her mind.

Bam!

A mini explosion shook the train. Everyone cowered in fear. Now, all their false hopes had been chattering. We are real. The explosion announced. Some of the fragile ladies on the coach began to sob in fear. The refreshing AC turned into a suffocation air. They looked out the window but only saw the dark side of the tunnel. They couldn't go out, but to wait… Wait for their doom.

Ah! Ah! Ah!
