280 Entering the Data Room
"Don't push your luck, 'Professor' Argas," Asher said, his indifferent eyes looking at Argas who was standing still.
"Do I need to repeat myself?" Asher asked.
"No," Argas replied, placing the card near the scanner.
Asher was standing behind Argas, so he couldn't see the expression of anger etched on Argas's face.
Never in his life had Argas imagined that he would be forced to obey another's orders, his whole life and career hanging on another person's whim.
A robotic voice announced, prompting Asher to rise to his feet. This left Argas completely bewildered by the unfolding events.
Asher advanced towards the front, brandishing a card-
type artifact. He placed it on top of the cube, then extracted a small vial of blood and dripped its contents onto the card.
The card's embedded jewel glead as the artifact activated.
To register it, Asher needed to activate the artifact.
A force field enveloped the card as Asher watched the jewel illuminate. Subsequently, a mark was engraved on the top-right corner of the card.
