Chapter 352: The Hotel Manager (1/2)
After that small talk, both of them turned silent and just ate their meal.
The atmosphere started turning awkward. But Philip is the only one who is feeling the awkwardness, there is nothing that is bothering Sirona as she ate her meal in the same manner.
But once again, she suddenly halted her actions and asked.
”You are Sam's friend, right?”
”Yeah. Now that you spoke of him, he also mentioned you before, how do you know him?”
”We met once in this restaurant. I wanted the Formation Simulator that he got from Murali's inheritance.”
”Oh.” From her expression Philip understood he wouldn't get any details, so he didn't ask her any further.
”I want to meet Sam.”
Philip suddenly turned alert.
Sirona might be his cousin from childhood, but he doesn't know how she is as a person now. He is not sure if he can take her to Sam at this moment.
”He cannot meet anyone; he is not feeling well,” Philip replied lightly with the intention of brushing off the topic.
”What happened to him?”
”Haven't you heard of the news about him?”
”I heard that he went on a secret mission.”
”Secret Mission? Who said that?”
”A guy from thunder god temple. He has been staying in his place for a while.”
”Arman?”
Sirona thought for a bit and nodded. ”I think so.”
Philip was confused about why would Arman do such a thing.
From what Sam said, Arman is the one who sold them off to the Beast faction time and again. So, why would he coverup their matter of going to the beast faction?
Apart from this, he also noticed that something is wrong with Sirona's speech. She is not beating around the bush or trying to get some info from him or anything.
She is straightforward. Too straightforward in fact and he felt that this situation is weird.
He wanted to see if he was the one thinking like that or if is really true, so he asked again.
”So, why did Arman tell you this?”
”I asked him.”
”You asked him? But why?”
”Because he is from the thunder god temple.”
Philip confirmed that it is really her. The way Sirona conversed is too mechanical. He started wondering what she has gone through after they are separated in the Usaine Sect.
Philip stayed silent for a while and asked.
”Why are you in conflict with Usiane Sect? I heard that you created heavy losses for the sect.”
”They wanted to kill me.”
”Why would they do that? You seemed to have been selected because they are quite confident that you would turn out a genius.
They even invested a lot in you. Why would they suddenly want to kill you?”
”Because they said I am out of control.”
”Just that?” Philip felt more and more confused as he listened to Sirona. She is not giving any details in the conversation.
He shook his head and didn't want to think about Usaine Sect anymore as he asked.
”Why do you want to meet Sam?”
”I need to ask him something.”
”What is that?”
”He said that once I take the formation simulator, they wouldn't believe that I didn't bring the shadow sword. So, he said that I would need to be careful and cautious about what I do and speak.
I listened to the conversation of the sect head and they don't believe me, they even wanted to kill me, so I escaped.
I want to know how Sam knew about this.”
”Sam told you all that?”
He felt like he understood the situation a little bit more now. Particularly, about Sirona's behavior. She seemed to be an intelligent and logical thinker, but what she lacks is common wisdom.
