            Sicily, July 9 , 1943
                      th
                  Florentino was sitting on his front porch in Sicily when his

            neighbor yelled out “The Americans had landed on the beach. This
            is the end.”

                  His drunken father, Luigi, walked out, holding a half-full
            bottle of wine in his hand, sit on his favorite chair and said with his
            drunken accent “Florentino, listen to me. The war is a filthy thing.
            It’s about people attacking other countries and claimed them as
            theirs. I lost my father to the evilness of World War One. Before
            he went on his final expedition. He asked me to sit down at this
            EXACT seat and tell me this “If you grow up, be the world’s leader
            and KILL them all. Have no mercy. The world will be purified after
            those little sacrifice.” At first, I thought he was pulling my leg, but
            as I grow, I agree more and more. Please…. please Florentino, don’t
            get involved into this kind of thing later in your life. I used to…”
            his father kept speaking as he saw a metallic canister was hurled
            into their porch, spewing out white cloudy fumes from both ends.
            He didn’t have a chance to tell his father about this as he saw
            multicolored rings spinning in his vision as his vision went black.

                  He woke up in a local hospital. His father was accidentally
            shot by a soldier in his head during the siege of Sicily. His father’s
            conversation echoed in his head.

                  Florentino just manipulated Centurion to help this rotten
            world. He was admiring his work, as a technician slammed his door
            opened. The technician seemed shocked as he saw Centurion
            laptop on his desk. His eyes were flooded with tears
