103 Alls Well That Ends Well 3 (2/2)

Afterward, he bitterly smiled, 'I'm probably going crazy already... It seems my decision to transfer away is the best I've made so far.'

A couple of moments later, after he regained his calm, he bid farewell to the annoying girl and walked back to the admin office.

His parents were already there, helping him talk things out with his class adviser... Finally. He was just one step away from leaving all the bad memories behind.

...

Sofony remembered the intel she received from Gio last night and sighed. The terrible helplessness she felt that day coming back to her again.

Gio told her, a few of their men had encountered the woman this Saturday midnight, with around five mercenaries found dead. She mourned for the five men and once again blamed her weakness which led to this tragedy.

25 people already died. Maybe more.

Sofony reflected and realized, if she only was stronger, then Clarissa would have been incapacitated or dead by now. There wouldn't be any more unwelcomed deaths.

How she hated that she didn't plan more and laid out countermeasures against the woman. There were so many 'what ifs' in her brain and the more unanswered questions surfaced in her mind, the more she blamed herself.

Tonight, she went out and strolled the main road of Central Alina. A minute later, she was already marching into a huge residence, the several maids and male servants of the mansion ignored her and acted like they didn't see her.

Sofony didn't comment. Nevertheless, she did climb the staircase and stepped onto the second floor. She didn't have to spend time guessing which room to barge into as she could hear gasps, moans, and cries for mercy from the innermost one. She was sure, the person she was seeking out today was there.

'They didn't even close the damn door.'

Her eyes turned icier as she walked into the place and witnessed a crying maid raped by a pig on the bed. The young woman's clothes were not even removed.

Sofony's hands tremble. She felt sorry for the woman but there was nothing else that could do to reverse time for her. All she could do was punished the beastly man.

A second later, the lights in the room went out. The fat man naturally became alarmed and stopped what he was doing. The woman cried and backed away to the farthest corner of the bed.

A voice resounded after. Both the man and woman were scared because they felt like it came from nowhere... or maybe from the underground.

”Abenson,” it creepily called out. ”...You seem to be.... enjoying yourself....”

”A GHOST!!!!!!” The woman immediately shrieked, her screams filling the room.

However, the door had already closed, and since the room was actually soundproofed since the fat mayor loved doing many unspeakable things to the maids and women brought secretly here, no one from outside heard her.

The fat naked middle-aged man also started screaming. As he couldn't see anyone in the darkness while the voice seemed to be coming from a place not from here, he also assumed that it was a ghost.

His fear even deepened when it continued speaking, ”A pity... Though you two seem to be doing something nice.... even if I wish to join... I don't have a physical body.... anymore...”

The creepy laugh that followed scared the sh*t out of the fat man. He started trembling and stuttering, ”W-who are you? S-show yourself!”

The laughing female voice did not stop. It even became louder. It persisted until the woman fainted from fright. Then it teasingly asked, ”You sure... you want me... to show myself?”

When the fat man thought out the answer, he realized how stupid his question was. He hurriedly begged for mercy and spouted nonsense how he was a very nice person and that as a mayor, all he had done were good things.

'In other words, please spare me!'

The more he said something though, the more the temperature of the room lowered. Near the door, Sofony kept giving the gross-looking man detesting glances and she had barely stopped herself from hypnotizing the man to death.

Sofony looked around to make sure there were no others in the place aside from them. Then she started interrogating the mayor for Clarissa's whereabouts. She also tried if she could fork out some information from him. Unfortunately, Clarissa did not show herself to him after their fight. If her guess was correct, that woman must have sought refuge in that mafia lord's territory.

Gio had already tried attacking the mafia. However, since those people were also deeply rooted in the city, and with many connections and means too, they only managed to weed out some of the weaker peripheral members.

In this trip, probably Sofony's greatest gain was not the fat mayor's sudden falling into a coma but making him remove the wanted order and search order issued for a kid named Leo Jones. If she guessed correctly, this youth was the other host hunting Clarissa. Of course, she recognized his face and realized that he was the one who almost killed them through an explosion.

When she remembered who he was, fear also made way into her heart. She also started praying that his attention would only be with the other girl.

Sofony did not stay long at the Abenson's mansion. After all, the invisibility powder would be expiring soon. However, she did check on Lara and found her confined in the basement.

It seemed her family was punishing her for all the shame and embarrassment she brought to them. For the whole week, the woman got locked in that dark room and was not allowed out. Her meals too were greatly watered down.

Also, she heard from one of the maids' clique talking behind their masters' backs that Lara would be sent abroad next week, probably never to return again to the country.

To be honest, Sofony did not feel guilty for Lara. She disliked the woman for badmouthing her in front of so many people. Aside from that, because she remembered that Miller dude's pestering and found it odd, she asked the system and learned what Lara planned out for her. This killed the little guilt she felt for the woman. Add to that the fact that she also tried to chase her man.

Sofony shook her head. She then decided to not think about Lara anymore as she walked out of the place and went home...
