Novel Bin Chapter 95 - <True Self>
He replied right away, "Yes, I would."
After that, I asked him something ridiculous, like what he would do if I were to ask him to kill 1000 innocent people.
Just like the previous time, he replied without a least bit of hesitation, "Yes, I would."
With that, I confirmed that Moro\'s immense hatred, which was sealed at the moment, seemed to affect his personality and the way he sees the world. (E/N: or maybe he\'s just loyal to the person who helped him get revenge)
After all, he lived carrying such immense hatred towards the world for the past 8 years. It would be strange if he still was that innocent teenage kid.
Now, he had become almost like me, back when I was in the state of harmony, without any emotions left in him, and because of that, even if I asked him to do inhumane things, he would agree straight away.
To check one last thing, I asked him something that his true self would find it hard to answer, "What would you do if I asked you to kill my own brother, Kay."
I thought his true self would hesitate but he gave a quick reply, and his answer shocked me.
"No, I wouldn\'t harm Mr. Kay. But Mr. Jay, If you try to, I will do everything I can to kill you."
I was surprised that he has some humanity left in him, and that he didn\'t say yes to the hypothetical question I imposed on him.
However, I didn\'t expect Moro to say that he would even try to kill me in a scenario where I tried to harm Kay.
It\'s not that I would ever harm my brother, but I didn\'t expect that Moro held Kay with such high regard, to the point he would go against me, even when he knew that the Minor Origin Sigil would crush his soul, if he were to do that.
Before, when I went through Moro\'s memories, I didn\'t find any such thing related to his protectiveness towards Kay.
But, after he answered a few of my follow-up questions, I got a clearer picture of the situation.
It seemed that to Moro, Kay was the only person that cared for him, even when everyone else had given up.
Although Kay had treated Moro with kindness for only a short amount of time, that seemed to have a great impact on Moro\'s subconscious as it reminded of his kind father.
Basically, it was his subconscious speaking, even Moro was not aware of that himself. I was glad that Moro would eventually grow protective towards Kay.
Moro\'s \'Battle Instinct\' not only increased his combat prowess but also gave him one hell of an intuition as he could tell that I had only helped him for my own benefit.
Although Moro was grateful to me for saving him and making him an origin sigil holder, his opinion on me was entirely different from Kay.
I didn\'t care about that but unlike me, Baby MJ got mad at Moro and tightened his little palms into fists and let out a cute growl before throwing punches at Moro\'s face like there is no tomorrow.
However, since MJ wasn\'t in a corpse integrated body but in his baby form, he only had the strength of a 1-year-old child and against Moro who was as strong as a Tier-2 life form, all his punches were as ineffective as throwing cotton balls at a rock.
"Ungrateful Bastard! How dare you say that you would go against my Master."
I helplessly sighed and pulled back MJ by the collar of his little Santa costume as he continued to wave his fists and feet at Moro like he was MJ\'s archenemy.
To MJ, I am his creator and one and only master. So, his loyalty towards me was unwavering. When he heard Moro\'s words, MJ flared up even when he knew that Moro was under a skill influence.
It took some time for MJ to cool down. Soon, I deactivated the skill <True Self>, and Moro returned to normal, and due to the effects of the skill, he forgot everything that happened while he was under the influence of <True Self>.
When Moro gained his consciousness, MJ huffed as he gestured at Moro with two fingers, "Hmph! Red-haired punk, I will be watching you from now on."
Moro was confused as to why the chubby floating baby was fuming at him.
Since I know that Moro wouldn\'t ever harm Kay, my impression of him improved. I patted Moro\'s back and told him to ignore MJ for a while and brought him to my brother and introduced him to the others.
I didn\'t reveal anything about Moro\'s past and only told the others that Moro was also a Minor Origin Sigil holder just like them.
Of course, Kay was the most shocked because of the drastic changes in Moro.
If not for the identical features, Kay wouldn\'t have believed that the once weak and frail comatosed youth he had seen in a wheelchair was the sturdy youth in front of him.
Initially, my brother guessed that I would use the spirit fruits or some spirit engineered medicine to cure Moro, but he seemed to not have expected that I would make Moro a Minor Origin Sigil holder.
After all, I only had a limited number of Origin Sigils, and each of them were valuable.
I also made sure to inform my brother that Moro agreed to become an Origin Sigil holder, irrespective of it\'s cons.
I emphasised that it was Moro\'s choice, so that Kay wouldn\'t misunderstand my intentions.
Following that, Kay neared Moro and showered him with enquiries on his well being and how he felt, as it\'s only been a few hours since he woke up from the coma.
I could sense the rare trace of warmth bubbling in Moro\'s emotionless heart, when Kay was treating him with such care. Even though Moro couldn\'t put a finger on it, I knew that he would soon grow close to Kay.
Whenever Moro answered Kay\'s relentless enquiries, he continued to call my brother, \'Mister Kay\' when he answered.
"Peh! What\'s with all that \'Mister Kay,\' just call me Big Brother from now on, alright?" Kay requested as Moro nodded.
Only then did Kay let out a wide smile. Qew approached them and coughed twice, while holding her wrists behind her back, signalling Kay to introduce her to Moro.
Kay took the hint and introduced Qew, "Moro, this is my elder sister, Qew. Don\'t be deceived by her innocent looks, she\'s a bully to the core; but, overall she\'s a good person."
Qew stared daggers at Kay, "Brat! Who are you calling a bully! I am an upright and model citizen."
I rolled my eyes before saying, "Riiight. Sure you are."
Qew\'s mouth twitched at my remark, but hid it, before turning towards Moro with a complete shift of attitude.
"Ahem! Ignore my brothers\', I am glad that you recovered Moro. Since Kay treats you like a little brother, you are also the same to me from now on. You can call me Big Sister from now on. If anyone tries to bully you, just tell me; I will take care of them for you."
When Kay was busy conversing with Moro, I had informed Qew of the events that had happened, when Kay and I went to the hospital.
I had briefed her about the life story of Moro through the telepathic powers of <SOUL EYES>. Upon learning about Moro, Qew pitied him for all that he had to experience from a young age.
Because of that, she extended good will towards Moro in her own way.
After my siblings chatted around with Moro for a while, I made an announcement that Moro will be joining the core security personnel of our enterprise, and that I am making him the personal security protection for Kay.
Of course, the first one to react was my brother, as he raised his concern opposing my proposal. He thought that Moro, who recently woke from a coma, wouldn\'t be able to handle being a security personnel, much less without any prior combat knowledge.
Following that, one of the core security personnel stepped forward and raised his voice, "I agree with the youngest young master\'s view, Moro seems to be too young and inexperienced to be a core security personnel. But, if the eldest young master insists on it, I will train him till he reaches the required combat standard."
Standing 5 feet 9 inches tall, Jon had high cheekbones with a square jaw.
If not for the low fade of white hair on his sides, it would be hard to believe that such a physically fit person was just a year shy away from turning 40.
Jon Constantine was my father\'s personal security guard, who had been loyal to our family for a long time. Before he joined in our Enterprise, he was skilled mercenary
He worked as a mercenary in Europe, before joining our enterprise through Uncle Aadrik\'s recommendation. Until my father made me the chief of security of our enterprise, he used to supervise the security division.
Back in my early teenage years, when I was up-close addicted to training various martial arts, he used to be my sparring partner.
Among the security personnel, he was the most experienced and skilled one in our enterprise.
Hearing Jon, I replied, "You are right Uncle Jon, Moro was inexperienced as a security personnel, but you are gravely mistaken about his combat standards. How about this, spar with him once, then you will understand why I want him in the security division."
Everyone, including my siblings, were taken back by what I said. They didn\'t understand why I was so confident in Moro\'s combat prowess.
Even though Jon was surprised, he quickly recovered before nodding at me, and prepared himself for a short spar with Moro.
While Jon was taking off his black jacket and folding his shirt sleeves, all of us gave space for them to exchange fists.
My brother was nervous, whereas my sister\'s eyes were excited to see the end result of their spar.
As for Esha and the other core security members, all of them were pretty confident about Jon\'s fighting skills.
However, what they didn\'t know was that I telepathically messaged Moro to go easy on Jon. If I had said that out loud, they would have thought that I was exaggerating too much.
Moreover, now that their attributes were improved to that of a Mid-Phase Tier-1 life form, they were doubting if Moro could last long against Jon.
Obviously, they didn\'t know that Moro had a powerful bloodline that allowed him to already adjust to all the looted stats he received from me, and that Moro was now as strong as a Mid-Phase Tier-2 life form, an entire tier, higher than Jon.
As for the rules of the spar, I announced that they would only use hand-to-hand combat, without using any of their Innate talent abilities.
Ofcourse, to make it a fair fight, I restricted Moro\'s overall stats using the Minor Origin Sigil to match those of Jon\'s, and mentioned that both of them would be facing each other with the same amount of overall stats of 90.
As everyone was looking forward to the spar, I declared out loud, "Fight!!"
