247 Their Connections 2 (1/2)

....

Thirty minutes after...

Chris arrived at the destination, thanking the heavens that the one he asked to come was already there, waiting.

Two other people were at the place, that man who refused to leave Wendy's side, and the bodyguard. The former should be that another system user he heard from Sofia.

Since the matter was urgent and it seemed that the woman trusted them somehow, he disregarded the discomfort from being glared at by another male and immediately told her everything that he learned from his AI.

When it got to the point where she asked how he knew about the connection, with a complicated expression, he reminded her,

”She's the one mentioned in my qualifying mission. So about my non-host supporter, it's actually her...”

A furious howl suddenly came from his right.

”LIAR!!!!”

”... Huh?”

What the half-host never expected to happen in his visit to Sofony's townhouse was to fly across the room after being ambushed by a raging fist.

Sounds of a sturdy body colliding with the wall next to the door of Wendy's sickroom filled the place, making way into the ears of everyone present.

”DAFUQ!”

Chris whose back and head heavily struck the solid wall cursed out, not due to the negligible pain from the back nor his jaw, but from being hit by the unknown guy that Sofony brought back with her from C Empire.

He didn't know what garnered him such a strike.

Thus, anger immediately rose from his eyes.

He was attacked! It was an enemy!

Red-eyed, he got up and corrected his posture then fired at the damnable attacker the moment his gun materialized. It was not that he forgot about the regular human in the place, but it was that he instinctively retaliated.

Jone who witnessed this gawked at the scene, in disbelief of how the actor under the Silver princess' employment could do magic tricks. Apparently, even as a trusted agent with access to items Sofony from time to time always gives to her people, the man was not given an opportunity for knowledge about immoral hosts and the system.

”F*cker! Who gives you the right to sneak-attack me!?”

Chris was the rational and shadow worker type. If given a choice, he preferred cyber confrontations than direct fights.

But it didn't mean that he would shy away from those kinds of things. The proof of this was how he charged head-on into one of the locations owned by the organization.

Even before Sofony could raid one, Chris had already raided his!

If thought in a certain angle, the difficulty he faced when he did that was greater due to the presence of someone a level higher than him.

But all in all, this showed that if he willed it, he would be able to do so.

The half-host didn't give a damn whether the other young man in the place was a full-fledged host or not.

From the moment he appeared here, the stupid guy had begun to rain him hostile glances. He had yet to demand an explanation for that. And now this?

'You attacked me for no reason whatsoever?'

When Ver evaded the bullets using only his supernaturally upgraded body and perception, Chris dashed forward and jumped sideways, the right foot extended fell squarely on the other's midsection.

”I'm not a pushover, bastard!” Chris glared daggers at the man, his dislike of the other oozing endlessly from his brown eyes.

Jone was surprised by the sudden turn of events and then when he came back to his senses, he saw that the actor had already gotten up and about to rain punches on the sleep-deprived pretty-faced man.

”Miss, should call people to stop them, or do I stop them by myself.”

The agent asked the last part with a bit of hesitation in his tone.

In his eyes, the two's brawl was not something a normal human could grasp. Not even the most capable agent under Gio, George, would be able to follow their movements.

So how could a brittle-boned man in his forties be able to manage the feat?

Uhh, it sounds like courting death?

Look, the actor made his fists flash like lightning in the air, descending on an unguarded face that probably also made him green with envy.

However, the other young man managed to shift his head to the side despite those fists' speed.

'Seems impossible for me...'

The one the agent asked was the other woman in the room, besides the sleeping Wendy.

It was Sofony.

Drowned in her thoughts about the information she received from Chris, she didn't reply.

Seeing this, the faithful secretary cleverly kept his silence while watching out for the two brawling men.
