253 Their Connections 3 (2/2)
Maila reorganized her thoughts for some time before opening her mouth.
”First of all. I'm merely a peripheral, member...” Sofony narrowed her eyes at the hesitation that the woman showed.
”I supposed you're saying you're not sure of your own standing there?”
The bitter smile flickered across those blue eyes didn't garner the intended response from Sofony.
The heiress only smiled, her eyes urging the other to continue. At their side, the middle-aged man dressed like a normal manager lowered his head while Sofia looked nervously at her Original.
After a cough, Maila said, ”Before I disclose anything, I want to be as honest as possible, but please note that there's a chance that the information I have could possibly be intentionally adulterated. I'm not really someone important, so they could possibly have given me false information.”
”Sounds like there are so many brainy people in your organization,” Sofony indifferently commented.
The idol wanted to refute she had already turned against that evil group. But the heiress' penetrating gaze stopped her. Unlike before when she spoke with this beautiful businesswoman as a normal talent, those black eyes were telling her that if she doesn't start speaking of something worthwhile now, she would die!
The fear made her confess of everything she knew.
”... If my conjecture is correct, even though I was asked to check the changes in this country mostly about the supernatural people emerging here, there is actually someone important that they're trying to probe... They told me to be careful and discreet. All they want is information about Alina. But if something happens at a certain district of this city, I must report it to them ASAP...”
”Someone else...” Sofony's countenance darkened, reminded of the person who truly brought her to the darkest period of her life.
The middle-aged man crossed his arms and leaned his back against the wall as he asked, ”Which particular district? It's not Central, right?”
Maila turned to look at the only man in the room. She restrained the frown and thought that this person could be someone as dangerous as the inheritress.
She honestly answered, ”... South.” Hesitation flashed across her face again before she added, ”... I have a colleague who used to be stationed here before me... And the place she was tasked to watch out is the Western district.”
Chris looked down. The information seemed useless, but still, he noted it in his mind.
As for Sofony, her smile widened.
A gaze of approval was thrown to Maila.
However, no one knew what was running on her mind.
The beaming expression she put on looked so fake and ill-omened. Yet due to her eyes that no one seemed to be able to fathom, it was hard to know if she was conjuring something nasty in her mind, or simply appreciating the female friend her clone brought over.
Perhaps, it was the latter?
After all, a few minutes later, the three system users of Alina City departed. But to the non-host's horrors, she was forcibly made to tag along under the orders of the Silver's heiress!
