279 Secondary 2 (2/2)

Ver clenched his fist. Even if the person speaking to him was more powerful than him, he still didn't want to be lorded over. However, just when he was about to protest and teleport away, his girlfriend's face suddenly popped up in his mind. She was smiling at him, moving her mouth as if she was giving him his daily dose of scolding. It was weird how she could do the two at the same time. He couldn't hear what she was saying. But that was enough to make him remember the urgent situation and what should matter more right now.

'Wendy's my priority...'

”... I will go now.”

”Counting on you.”

After dropping those lines to the younger man, Gio carried the unconscious woman and walked away. Meanwhile, Ver activated his regained Teleport skill. Though feeling exasperated and unwilling, he executed what the abnormal man had told him to do.

....

Sofony was woken up a few hours after by a light tap on her face. It was her best friend's stalker who snuck into her room. The disturbance caused by their actions was still ongoing. But the bases Gio Albarez had ordered to be bombed were already bombed. The guy was too anxious to know if Sofony's AI had already approved of her completion rate and promoted her to Level 6.

All in all, his goal was to check if she could now purchase that skill and wake up Wendy!

”Where's Gio?” After taking a deep breath, the woman looked around. Seeing none of his figure or shadow, she asked the person who woke her up, not forgetting to stare dagger at him.

”He just went out and should be back again. Believe me, you should not be worried about him. Can you tell me what the judgment of your AI is?

Ver Drilon could hardly suppress the impatience in his heart. His thoughts were all over the place, but the central idea had always been that girl lying comatose in her room next door. Right. They were now back to Alina and somehow only he ended up going back with full consciousness.

Sofony Silver was forced to calm down by her non-host supporter using a tranquilizer. Sofia Mendoza, the singer-actress was either dead or being tortured to death by one of the renegade core members.

The most useless of them all was that Chris Meyer. His task was only to look out for the attack team and guard the non-host idol, Maila Asuncion, yet for some reason, that person also ended up in comatose.

'Even though this haphazardly created alliance is rendered like this by the organization, the result is not really that bad because that mysterious higher-leveled guy helped out. This should mean one way or another, the mission is completed, right?' The man was trying to convince himself of this.

Before Sofony could open her mouth to answer the fidgety man, Gio came into the room with a tray of food in his hands. His face darkened seeing Ver there. ”Who gave you permission to come in here?”

Cold sweats ran down the pretty-faced lanky man's back. But for Wendy, he braved meeting the dark penetrating gaze of the other. Since he had no answer to Gio's question, he just went to the point and said, ”I've done my part. I need this woman to do hers now.”

With eyes full of pleading and sincerity, he added, ”Please wake her up now.”
