Chapter 22 - Chapter 22: The Unwanted Encounter

Neuro left the hidden library and moved through the vast corridors of the Voldi Godo mansion with steady calm steps but inside his mind everything was still active analyzing processing and reconstructing every detail of what he had just experienced the structure of the library the absence of guards the precision of the techniques and the feeling that nothing there was accidental as he walked forward his perception suddenly caught a presence ahead Kyle was standing in the corridor waiting for him his posture tense his gaze sharp but unstable as if his emotions were not fully under control the moment Kyle saw him he spoke immediately "I knew you would come this way" Neuro stopped and looked at him calmly without any visible reaction Kyle continued his voice carrying irritation and frustration "you always disappear into places no one else is allowed to enter and then act like nothing matters like everything is beneath you" Neuro remained silent for a moment analyzing not the words but the emotional structure behind them Kyle was not calculating he was reacting emotionally and unpredictably "that is your interpretation" Neuro finally said in a calm neutral tone Kyle's eyes narrowed further "I hate that calmness of yours…" he said stepping slightly forward "it feels like you are always looking down on everyone even when you say nothing" silence spread between them for a brief moment Neuro did not respond emotionally instead he continued analyzing Kyle's behavior pattern unstable emotional base strong ego sensitivity low strategic control Kyle clenched his fist slightly "I will surpass you…" he said firmly as if trying to convince himself more than Neuro then suddenly turned and walked away without waiting for any response leaving the corridor behind Neuro remained still for a few seconds then thought calmly "still unstable too reactive no structure" and continued walking as if the encounter had no value at all but internally he stored the information as data
