23 Clues 2 (2/2)

There should be a limit to blindness! Hey!

Or maybe he was truly blind to the maximum level...

Out of a sudden, her eyes mellowed out and confusion was on it. She wondered, he even condemned Wendy just because she could straightforwardly say that his group and the girls around them are a lustful bunch. It was just saying, but he was already spooked out. What would be his reaction if he will be faced with a girl who already lost her virginity?

She could already imagine.

She's having a hunch that this Chris guy was different with the others. She meant, the other rotten eggs.

'Wendy should be only open about things like that in a discussion. However, Wendy's much purer than anyone else.'

'Wendy's unlike me. I'm already conscious of bodily pleasure. She's not. And this boy is acting weird. Don't tell me he really doesn't know that Felicity, his best friend, is a nympho?'

'A pure guy could be best friends with a nympho?'

With doubts lingering on her expression, she continued to listen. And the more she did, the more the thought solidified. She listened as he ranted about school, about Wendy, about Floyd's group, about Felicity.

Horror filled her eyes when it all ended. Due to her enhanced intelligence, she had immediately connected some scattered dots and came up with a conclusion.

And she was having a hard time believing it!

<System: Lucky you. You find out some important clues.>

She breathed deeply. Her head shaking left and right.

”He obviously hates Floyd and his gang. He also obviously likes Felicity. And he's still thinking she's the cleanest lady in the world...?”

<System: Hehe, Felicity hid it deep. I'm so impressed.>

Sofony shouted, ”I'm not. She's unbelievable! She's probably lying to this guy every single time. How did she hide her odd behaviors to him? That's weird! And he's part of Floyd's circle because every lunch break I see him mingling with them. Is this guy having the idea that Felicity only does it with him? No, he's thinking she's still pure! Which means he's not bedded Felicity yet!”

<System: Maybe she's also maxed out her acting skills like her sex skills. You see, even the people from your school only know she's a pitiful girlfriend of a playboy, not a cheap slut. I'm telling you, she knows acting. Why don't you ask for a few pointers?>

Even though annoyed, she continued explaining her points. ”I don't get it, I clearly saw and heard her partnering up with those boys. This Chris is also known to be part of that group, but he seems to be ignorant of how his friends are playing around with Felicity's body every single time. Is he playing dumb or really clueless about it?”

<System: You already said that; you just changed the sentence construction.>

”Is he being excluded by Felicity? If so, then why? And this girl, she's a lover with Floyd, but she's okay having intercourse with his underlings! What's with this? What kind of love game are Felicity and Floyd having?”

Sofony almost broke down from thinking.

”This kind of love, how could it even last? The boyfriend is a playboy, the girlfriend is not much better. This world should just end if this is how love is.”

When this crossed her mind, she started pitying Chris for liking a girl like Felicity.

She closed her eyes. There was a feeling coming from within that she's now closer to the truth.

”This is very weird. I have to snatch Felicity's lover from her. But who? And why?”

After remembering her real task, she froze. A sudden realization struck her, making her feel like she has been stuck in a circle for a very long time and only managed to realize it by now. She scolded herself for being stupid.

'Damn, my 13 Intelligence is a joke. I only have a little more than a month and I just realize that a lover is not always the official boyfriend.'

Sofony had taken a long time to calm down. A few minutes passed, and when she finally came out of the restroom and walked back to her classmates, she had already decided to test what's Felicity's feeling for the person she introduced to Sofony as her best friend.

She planned to do it tomorrow.

....

In a dark alley next to Sofony's apartment, three men could be seen. Two were standing. One was lying dead on the cold hard ground with dark liquid pooling underneath him. The place was dark, however, the place stunk of blood.

One of the two other men crouched down next to the dead person and started rummaging through the pockets and clothes of the man.

The one still standing opened his mouth, ”This man did not knock on the door and just went inside the apartment. Then, he immediately turned around and tried to flee when he saw me.”

”He's courageous. I think he's someone who works underground.”

”They should be after her, right?”

The man crouching nodded. ”Yes. Our men in charge of monitoring Wendy Gomez copied a sound recording sent to her brother who is in the police department. This seems to be related.”

Gio turned around, not without giving a cold glance at the dead man whose face riddled with bullet holes could hardly be recognized. The coldness coming from his aura eclipsed even the coldness of the moonless night. Blood did not make him flinch a bit. If Sofony was here, she would have fainted from the shock since even if she had an idea of his ruthless side, she had yet to see it and couldn't imagine it too.

”George, as soon as possible I want to know who's behind this man.”

George nodded and proceeded to call several people to help out with the task. The cloud filled night skies made the atmosphere gloomier than any other night. The alley where the death happened was especially creepy tonight. However, after an hour, the place was cleared and no evidence of the crime was left.
