Chapter 1030 - Close connection (1/2)

Hearing the voice closely behind, Samantha had no choice but to turn around. For a second, she wanted to thank this person for getting her out of such an awkward situation, but then when she saw who it was, an older looking gentleman with a grey ponytail who was largely smiling back at her, she took a step back and immediately went on guard.

”You, you were the person who attacked us at the shelter!” Samantha said, recognising the man.

”Oh, I thought you didn't like the boy, but when a dangerous situation occurs you go jumping to his side. I see how it is. One should be more honest with their feelings, especially since human lives are so short.” Eno said. ”Besides, I believe I only attacked the man behind you, I never attacked yourself, and I didn't even get to explain my own position, anyway I guess I'll leave you two for now.”

Eno started to walk around the place, and Samantha was getting ready to stop him. He was a member of Pure after all or so Fex claimed, but just as she was about to run, she felt Fex grab her arm.

”What are you doing?”

”Leave him.” Fex said. ”He was invited here.”

At the time, she hadn't really processed what Fex had first said when he had met the man, but now the words became clear, he didn't just say any name. The name that was spoken was the one and only Richard Eno.

”Wait! is it true? He's the great scientist known as Richard Eno, the one everyone has been looking for?” Samantha asked.

Based on how Quinn said Eno had already revealed himself to Oscar, and the fact that he was here, Fex thought it wasn't really a problem telling her the truth.

”He is.” He answered.

”I'm sorry.” Samantha started off. ”I know you told me to keep what you said a secret, but I read the reports about your leader Quinn Talen, it says he too used a special Red aura, and one of the men that was presumed dead was actually still alive and had seen everything as well. So I had no choice to tell them about it.”

She was still taking in the fact that the Head General Hardy was actually the Cursed faction leader Quinn.

Hearing about this, Fex tutted and kissed his teeth. His plan was to wipe her memory before she could say anything else, but if a report already stated that Quinn had used the red aura, then it didn't seem like it would be something he could avoid.

”About the other thing, I didn't tell anyone about that. I didn't tell anyone about what was in your flask or what you told me to do.” Samantha whispered. ”You saved my life, so of course I would keep it a secret, and who cares what strange things you do if you are helping save our lives.”

Although what Samantha said was true, she actually thought there might be more to it. Fex had healed due to her blood and also was able to use a red aura, the same as their leader Quinn Talen. She was afraid that blood was the answer to how they were able to do these things.

It could have very well been a Cursed faction secret. If she told people this secret she didn't want to end up disappearing in the middle of the night.

'She didn't tell anyone about the blood, maybe it's best if I remove her memories now then.'

”Richard Eno, you have finally arrived!” A loud deep booming voice spoke.

Hearing this, everyone turned their heads at hearing the name for two reasons. The one speaking was Oscar, and his voice tended to carry across the room, the other reason was because of the name that had been mentioned, Richard Eno.

'Damn, I guess I should leave it for now, she hasn't told anyone yet, but I can clear up the misunderstanding later.' Fex thought, while he went to where everyone else was standing, for they wanted to listen in on the conversation and have a look at the great Richard Eno.

Richard Eno walked over to where Oscar was, he had formal clothing that matched everyone around them so he didn't look out of place at the party. While everyone else had been afraid to walk up to where Oscar and Owen were, Richard was not as he approached them with ease.

What was surprising was the first ones to show respect was both Owen and Oscar as they both bowed.

”You are a difficult man to find.” Owen said, lifting up his fan to cover his face as usual. ”You have achieved great things for every family, and it's great to finally meet you. When Oscar said he had a surprise guest, I never thought it would be yourself.”

Not failing to get a scoop, Void and Bonny had quickly stopped interviewing Head general Innu, who was in the middle of bragging about his group's achievements and rushed over to listen in and record the conversation between Eno and the great leaders.

It was the first time that anyone had also got him on video, so it was an opportunity that they couldn't miss.

”If you're not too busy these days, it would be great if we could have a formal meeting at some point. Perhaps you could even stop by some labs of ours.” Oscar suggested. ”I promise we will do anything to make you feel at home.”

Owen started to chuckle and gave a glance at Oscar.
