282 An Unwanted Admirer 1 (1/2)

The truth immediately came out after a minute. Chris was indeed only annoying Sofony because of the most recent incident. And he was not truly planning to suddenly break relations with her. No, he was not that stupid yet.

Even if he didn't bring the matter about her helping him tide over the most perilous beginner phase of him as a system user, there was also the fact that his head was still alright and that could easily understand that the majority of the immoral hosts were heartless and cold-blooded people. Who knows how their minds work?

He could break away from Sofony's sphere of influence, but once the enemies still chose to not let go of him, how would he fight back as a solo host?

Say Sofony's claim about him being the luckiest host was true, how about his loved ones? It was a sad reality for people like them, but nobody, not even them, could ensure that their families and anyone else close to them wouldn't be badly affected or worse, killed, once a confrontation occurred.

The actor had many more reasons to not really break their alliance. He chose to stop the useless banter with Sofony and discussed stuff seriously with her. Chris had not many favorable opinions of Sofia, but he stressed that rescuing her should be the utmost priority.

Sofony, upon hearing it, wondered if the guy just felt that would be the easiest mission compared to confronting Bathory and Leo.

Before leaving to meet his manager, the man did not forget to remind her to be vigilant due to the video. The girl could only smile wryly.

However, deep inside her, she was also a bit worried since Chris made sense. There was truly a chance another host higher leveled than her would go after them for fun, which would spell trouble to her, Chris, and, Gio.

...

In a place located in one of the numerous islands in Country M, a castle stood erect in one of the highest inland mountains there, looking imposing, ancient and grand, as if it was an abode of a deity. Clouds rowed and sailed back and forth the place, sometimes obscuring the top part of the beautiful chateau and giving it a more divine look and aura.

It was on the balcony of the highest floor that laughter rang. The voice was masculine. It was from a bathroom-robed man in his thirties who kept looking into the empty space in front of him while lightly shaking the champagne flute in his right hand. Extreme amusement and amazement were dancing in his eyes were reminiscent of gray clouds about to pour down rain to a famished desert.

His current expression would have made him be mistaken for a madman. Thankfully, nobody was with him. Nobody could go up to his room without his permission. He could do anything he wanted in the place and nobody would reprimand him since he was the owner of the grand residence. In fact, he was the owner of the whole island.

Amidst his merry laughter, the being in his head continued showing what it was showing, and it was actually the reason for the handsome but bulky man's good mood. It also did not forget to add more information.

”A masterpiece...” In amazement and admiration, the man stopped laughing and unconsciously commented. He willed for a tangible photograph to materialize before him. He held it with care.. as if it was a treasure worth more than any amount of gold or gem in the world.
