61 Two News (2/2)

”Level I suiting Jessica's abilities. I will help her in the process so you don't have to worry about her safety,” Felicity said. Zed has issued her enough authority to do as she pleases in the villa but of course, she wasn't aware of the secret floors underground.

[[Understood]] The white room transformed into a forest filled with life-like beasts.

”Nice bracelet,” Jessica remarked to Felicity as they changed clothes for training. She hasn't noticed the bracelet before but now that she did, she thought it looked rather elegant.

”I hate it but I have no choice otherwise Claudia and Zed will feel bad,” Felicity said with a sigh.

”Oh!” Jessica was surprised.

It was a gift?

She has heard the rumors about Zed and Felicity dating so she thought it made sense.

”You two must truly love each other to handle the opposite elements of personality,” Jessica said with a smile.

She thought she should finish up the training soon and leave instead of disturbing the couple. They were already kind enough to her as it is and she didn't want to reduce the time they spend together.

”Of course,” Felicity nodded her head, ”Having an annoying brother like him is a headache but I love him far too much to give him up. I fear he will die from boredom if I am not there to provide some thrills.”

”Brother?” Jessica was shocked.

Did she perhaps think I am referring to brotherly love?

Jessica felt her back drenched with sweat. She now understood she has judged the relationship wrong.

”We might not be blood-related but we are as close siblings can get,” Felicity sighed and said, ”I feel I am spoiling him too much. I should take him for more thrill rides instead of letting him rot here but the visitors from the government...”

Felicity once again cursed the person who created the incident in the wasteland for it was stopping her from carrying out her responsibilities.

How was she supposed to bring adventures in Zed's life when she was occupied by other tasks?

--------

In the living room, a humanoid droid served Zed with a cup of coffee and some biscuits. Zed sipped in coffee while waiting for Claudia to start.

[[The preliminary investigation team sent by the government has started the investigation. I am under the assumption the main team has yet to arrive.]] A virtual screen appeared in front of him showing the information about the preliminary team.

”I thought so,” Zed took a bite of a biscuit as he continued, ”I assume they will also investigate the massacre in the slum.”

[[So far only the local authorities are investigating the slum but no doubt the investigation team will take over in the slum. There is nothing to fear though as most likely the investigation team will conclude the massacre in the slum is unrelated to the events at the wasteland.]]

”I guess that's reassuring,” Zed didn't want to involve the slum dwellers if possible.

[[The worrying part is that the events of four years ago will be reinvestigated with a fresh perspective.]]

”The plan we created will work so there is no need to panic. There are very low chances of 'Zed' being suspected but in case it happens, then you know what you have to do.” Zed said.

[[Yes.]]

”Anything else?” Zed asked.

[[There are two news: one good and one bad. Which one will you like to hear first?]]

”Bad one first,” Zed sighed and said, ”I want to leave the good one for the end so that I don't have a bitter taste.”

[[My analysis of Sarah has been done. She belongs to the third category.]]

”Happy marriage,” Zed felt the world was unfair. Why does one trouble have to arise after the another?

Couldn't she have a broken or adventurous marriage? This would have saved both time and efforts.

[[Indeed.]]

”Well, we have to look at the bright side,” There was a devilish glint in Zed's eyes as he continued, ”This will be a lot more fun.”

[[The good news is that I have completed my preparations for reducing the troubles of Agatha. At the very least, she will no longer suffer the abuses from her relatives and friends.]]

The virtual screen showed the details of the plan Claudia has created. Zed felt his throat turning dry after reading the details.

[[I need you to create the background so that I can activate the plan by tomorrow. Plus I want you to handle a few minor tasks as Kiba so that there are no loopholes.]]

”...Of course,” Zed silently prayed for the poor souls who were going to be sacrificed tomorrow.
