âThisâŠâ Sophia Worthington furrowed her brow.
âHm?â Finn Lewis raised an eyebrow, uttering a sound from his nose. At this, Sophiaâs brows twitched slightly. Finnâs simple utterance put her under significant pressure, his aura was intimidating.
âMr. Lewis, itâs not that I wonât tell you, itâs that I simply donât know,â Sophia said, her voice filled with a tinge of fear.
âDonât know? What does that mean?â Finn asked, his eyebrow raised as he stared intently at her.
âI donât know why weâre being pursued,â Sophia quickly replied.
âAre you kidding me?â Finn was somewhat speechless. Not knowing why they were being pursued? What on earth had they done that they themselves were oblivious to? Faced with an assault of this magnitude and not even knowing who the enemy was, was she playing a joke on him?
âMr. Lewis, I wouldnât dare deceive you. Honestly, I donât know why weâre being pursued,â Sophia nervouslyo spoke.
âDo you even know who is after you?â Finn inquired again.
âI donât,â Sophia paused before letting out an awkward laugh as she replied. Just as Finn was about to say something, Oliviaâs voice resonated in his ear, âYoung master, sheâs telling the truth.â
Finn raised an eyebrow, âSo how about the appearances of those who pursued you, you should at least remember that, right?â Finn switched to another question, and after asking, he added, âI am not referring to the man you accidentally bumped into back at the pharmacy; heâs a special forces soldier from the Flame Nation. He was merely a coincidence.â
Sophia looked bemused as she sat in place pondering upon Finnâs words. Her expression struck him as odd. Was it that difficult for her to remember certain faces? For someone in her position, remembering a few specific individuals should be a fairly common thing, right? Since they were commercial spies, they should have the innate ability to remember the faces of their targets in a very short time. So, why was she so bewildered?
âIâŠI canât remember.â Sophia finally uttered after a long pause.
âYoung Master, sheâs speaking the truth,â Olivia once again chimed in. Finn didnât doubt Oliviaâs abilities; although she wasnât physically present, Jim Lewis was by Finnâs side. As Jim possessed the ability to scan human data, they neednât question Oliviaâs words. Even the most exquisite spy couldnât lie under Oliviaâs scrutiny unless they were indeed telling the truth.
But seriously? She couldnât even recall the people who wanted her dead? She had forgotten? What in the world was going on?
âYoung Master, the disguise you created by refracting light to blur your face might present a similar situation. For instance, if we were to ask Kim what you look like right now, chances are he would take a long time before summing up his answer as he wouldnât be able to describe your appearance,â Olivia suddenly interjected into Finnâs thoughts.
Finn froze upon listening to Oliviaâs words, âWhat do you mean by this?â Finn completely disregarded Sophiaâs presence and spoke directly to Olivia.
âWhat I meant is, the enemy might possess a similar technology, which could result in this present situation,â Olivia rapidly replied.
âAh? I, I donât mean anything. Just that, I genuinely canât remember. The enemy didnât have any distinctive features. They looked like any ordinary person. If forced to describe, I could only say a man approximately in his thirties. Everything else was⊠quite ordinary,â Sophia stuttered in response.
Finn knew Sophia must have misunderstood Olivia. Regardless, he didnât feel the need to clarify. However, he was somewhat shocked to hear about the existence of a similar technology. He had never heard of anyone possessing it before. But that wasnât the point of contention right now. Finn continued his questioning, âWhat about the rest? For instance, the specifics of the pursuit, were there any oddities?â fÉŸeeweÉnŃłveÉ.com
Sophia looked at Finn, bewildered. After a long while, she shook her head, âI need some time to recollect.â
âAlright, you stay here for now. No one will bother you here. If you need anything, Iâll have someone assigned here. If you need anything, just contact them,â Finn spoke directly. Finishing his sentence, he promptly stood up and added, âI have other matters to attend to, so Iâll take my leave. By the way, are you sure that Bryski Miller had no hand in this?â
âAbsolutely.â Sophiaâs response was quite straightforward.
Finn nodded, turned around and left the room. As he closed the door behind him, he mumbled, âSummon a female T1000, let her guard here and do whatever they ask.â
âYes, young master.â Having been authorized by Finn, Olivia could now summon objects without Finn needing to select each one manually. When Finn exited the staircase, a female T1000 was already awaiting him at the foyer. âGet Olivia to name her,â Finn instructed as he walked towards his vehicle. Climbing into his car, Finn immediately asked, âOlivia, you just mentioned about them having similar technology. I donât really understand. According to your assessment of the present tech scenario in various countries on earth, which country could possibly develop a technology like this?â
âWell, itâs possible, but it comes with high requirements and the equipment canât be made as compact as to go unnoticed. However, based on my examination of her body, it appears that she didnât merely cross paths with a killer possessing such technology. Iâm afraid someone has interfered with her brain as well,â Olivia promptly replied.
âWhat do you mean?â Finn was taken aback. Interference with her brain? Could a person still survive after their brain underwent interference?
âI mean, parts of her memory might have been erased. Itâs not necessarily required to physically touch her for this effect. There are several types of drugs and other technological means to achieve this. However, considering the current technological prowess of countries, itâs rather unlikely. But the possibility of drugs canât be ruled out,â Olivia clearly stated.
Finn was somewhat taken aback, âThat doesnât seem to make sense, does it?â If someone wanted to kill her, why would they use drugs to erase her memory instead of simply killing her? Wasnât this too roundabout?
âInsufficient data; calculation not possible,â Olivia cut in crisply.
âAlright, investigate their past. Check thoroughly,â After giving it some thought, Finn instructed Olivia. If Bryski Miller wasnât behind the pursuit, then he had a strong desire to find out who was. After all, he had saved them and such matters couldnât be concealed for a long time. As they couldnât live under the radar for the rest of their lives, it would be very easy for them to be discovered when they resurfaced. In that case, there was a chance that the mastermind might shift their target to Finn himself.
