212 The Letters (2/2)
People always cherish what they seemingly lost or obtained with too much difficulty.
In Sofony's case, this recently received item held the accumulation of her man's messages to her for the past years.
It was simply very dear and priceless, and she wouldn't exchange it for anything else in the world.
...
After the gentle interrogation she did with the people of the Flying Dragon Express, she confirmed quite a lot of things.
First, there is a chance it is really just as the system said. A spell or skill is in effect but it's already fading. Her heart grew cold when the possibility that it was a calculated time or move crossed her mind.
'It will be exactly three years since then... What's with this hunch that it's purposely set up?'
Second, the post office couldn't deliver the letters because all of them were blank at first and that they only discovered the ones with content yesterday. This was the reason why only today did an agent go to knock at her company's door.
When Sofony heard that, she held her breath for a long while. Another conjecture of hers was proven correct.
'This could really mean that Gio did send two letters with the same message everyday, one with his name, the other just with his initials... There is a magical something at work which I supposed always erases his traces or everything that is related to him in this city... or country... He must have guessed it because he knew it would be impossible for me to not reply even once.'
What a very frightening possibility...
It made Sofony released a freezing aura all around her since the woman couldn't stop worrying over what Gio went through all this time. The more she worry, the more her mind goes to the grey area.
The ones badly affected by her sudden outburst of bloodlust were the staffs of the courier company.
All of them wondered just how big of a crime their one day delay of delivering that package was. They felt fear for their lives since they remembered that Sofony Silver was a very influential business lady and from a filthy rich family too.
”Give me the address where it came from.”
'Huh?'
Almost all of the staffs gave her a weird look. Wasn't that already in the letter or the logs where a parcel receiver must sign?
No non-host aside from main supporters would ever fathom the unpredictability of the immoral system and its host.
They didn't know that no such thing appeared in the letter or anywhere.
Why else would she go here if there was? She would have happily teleported already at the place to see Gio instead of speaking with these people!
”No one wants to answer me?” Sofony's gaze became threatening.
Gone was the naive, moral-compassed, and weak-hearted lady of the yesteryears.
In front of them was someone who would only feel bad for three seconds but still wouldn't hesitate once to force the company to close down this branch if they annoy her.
Realizing the intent behind the meaningful stares from her glittering eyes, the manager hastily and personally fetched the roster and checked their company records.
Sofony watched him work, bored. If only there was nothing blocking her from directly inquiring or manually collecting anything related to Gio, she would have long just hacked through their system.
After some time, the pudgy man with some sort of badge on his chest turned around. When he looked to be opening his mouth, Sofony's lips arced up and her eyes revealed a very bright and happy glow. She was ready to cast hypnosis once she heard the good news.
”Milady. I found it.” The man paused for a while to write something. And then he turned around and bowed, both his hands respectfully handing over the piece of paper.
'It came from C Empire. It's a mansion from a village exclusive for known celebrities and elitists. Within the Empire's capital city, Jasmine City.'
