127 The Escape 2 (2/2)
The woman lying weakly and hopelessly on the floor painfully closed her eyes. By this time, the enemy Level 5 Host already disappeared, no whatsoever trace of him remaining in the hallway. If not for the bloody mess nearby, together with the countless daggers and knives littering the ground, no one would have thought that a battle between two immoral system users just took place.
Everyone would just assume that Clarissa collapsed there due to Sofony's poisonous pills.
...
In front of a cafe situated in a commercial building opposite the Ever Victorious tower, Clarissa's Original gracefully leaned her back on the floor-to-ceiling glass wall of the cafe, eyes pinned at the building in front. She wore a long black fitted dress today, looking like she would be going to a funeral than an airport. A to-go cup was in her right hand, the other pressing her phone to her left ear.
”Haha... I'm really sorry, for the trouble. It's just that I think it's bad not to let the whole country know about a case like this... Alright, so the news will be broadcasted later?... Great! Really thanks for your help. You're really a lifesaver!”
Done with the exchange of flattering words, she smiled then ended the call. Afterward, she reviewed the scene being played by the system in front of her. She had to back play a bit due to missing out a few minutes, the call and the frequent pausing at Gio's face and actions to be blamed.
Unfortunately, it seemed that she had to postpone her plan of watching how Sofony Mendez dealt with the slightly shameless presenter. It was because a notification rang in her head.
Annoyed, she scrunched up her face a little, snarling, 'Hey! What is it? System, you're in my brain. Can't you see I'm busy! My flight is at 4 pm and it's only 15 minutes away! I can only watch the fun for a little more than 10 minutes!'
It said because it could not understand why she was worried about that flight when she could just directly teleport to the destination. However, it knew nothing would change the girl's mind, so it just continued,
The woman who seemingly did not put much appreciation for the intel pouted, then took a sip of her iced coffee through the straw. She then half-heartedly replied, 'Got it. Thank her for me. Next.'
Her system didn't respond within three seconds so she went back to watching, later laughing when one more proponent got gently scolded by Gio. She was still at the back play. The scolded guy whose shoulders now looked pressed down by something heavier than a mountain was the presenter before the bespectacled man.
The AI suddenly asked when it recovered from its speechlessness. This was the only explanation it came up when the woman acted like that.
True to its hypothesis, she responded. 'Lol, why else? My current mission is only to snatch a fellow host's lover. It's a no-brainer to ask if I will be involving myself in a dangerous conflict like that. Anyway, Clarissa won't die. So I don't need to worry. I'm more worried about this future darling of mine. He'll have no choice put up with Sofony Mendez for one more week.'
Towards the worried and pitying expression that she directed to the man on her holographic screen, the system could only remain silent. However, deep down, it still didn't like her targeting a non-host from this currently chaotic city.
Time passed quickly. One instance when the system remembered recounting what surgeries Clarissa went through today, the woman simply laughed, praying for Clarissa for only three seconds... Then she went back to watching the show on the 69th floor of the Ever Victorious tower...
