Eyes On Me (II)……
They all arrived at the restaurant and were all seated in Lia's office, there was silence in the room as everyone was quietly waiting for Lia to begin the conversation.
Taking a deep breath she said "Now the three of you should listen closely HQ has permitted me to share this with you and for the two of you am not talking about the faction this is a different thing altogether she said looking at both Nolan and Emmy.
"Am sure you might be thinking that am a player like yourself but I am not we are special NPC characters that have been created for the sole purpose of keeping the balance of this world and this is the same for all the officials in the other factions and to do so we help all the factions equally and get rid of any potential threat to the flow of this game, each player and faction affect the world in various ways and we officials can tell with the balance meter that appears in the stats of all the players and faction you players can't see it but we can, one can affect the balance meter either positively or negatively and our work is to keep everything in a perfect equilibrium in both the good and the bad sides even if it means killing multitudes of players, but I don't know why you don't have a balance meter?" she said pointing towards Nolan
"And what does that entail?" Nolan asked "It means that you are practical, of no significance in this game or you are affecting the world so much so that the balance meter can't calculate it" She paused giving Nolan a cold stare that made his turn stiff from fear, he could feel the Goosebumps
"Well let's hope it's not the second option else you'll be a major target for all officials and am not sure you'll be able to survive it because we are mechanized to deal with such problems," she said solemnly
"Well that's not why am here, I would like to request a...…..
"No it's not possible," she said cutting Khorus off "The red skull faction leader and the white angel leaders are not to meet at least for now, their meeting will greatly affect the balance and please do not mention anything relating to that here," she said with a dark expression.
But you do know what they are doing, isn't that affecting the balance of the game" Khorus said slamming his hands on the table and almost destroying it on impact, showing his agitation
"I don't care if you're angry, I don't care how it affects or whatever but as far as it's not affecting the balance of the world in any way I will not tamper with any players activity," Lia said unfazed by his showcase of power. "to hell with that!!" chorus said angrily standing up with great force making his chair shatter, he pulled out his hands and a dim light shone but nothing ever came out of his second space which left him stunned and the others could also tell something was wrong but it didn't concern them in any way, he had used it series of time without any problems so why now he pondered
[ASSUALT ON OFFICIAL]
[ACCESS TO THE SECOND SPACE HAS BEEN DENIED]
"I wouldn't try that if I were you, "Lia said still sitting calmly
"Why did the creator of the game make things this way, I have lost a lot in this damn game," Khorus said angrily
"Although it's a lot to take in and you're pissed off about it, I can't feel your pain and I won't pretend as I do, I do not have an answer to your question but it can't be changed by me or any other official at least for now you can only become a true legend and do as you wish, as for you, Nolan, right? I best advise you to be careful you might have a lot of enemies in this game and if it is in my power to help you I will, now if you'd excuse me I haven't played with Mr. Shegs today" she said as she walked up to the shelve and picked up a doll which looked like a bear, it had a glasses on and a bow tie, its head was so large that it could only be best described as unfit, Lia carried it off the shelf and started snuggling it like a little girl, it looked weird for an adult looking android like her "Kutchi Kutchi, how's Mr. Shegs doing, hope you enjoyed your day" she said as she hugged the doll tightly, Nolan and Emmy were left with their mouths wide open as they saw how her attitude just made a 180-degree turn 'she was like an ice-cold queen just a few minutes ago Nolan thought'
Getting himself Khorus looked towards Lia "I have gotten my reply I will now be leaving "he said as he walked towards the door, leaving the room and slamming the door behind him a few minutes later both Nolan and Emmy left the room.
Breaking News: famous researcher known as Kran Solace has been confirmed dead from a car accident which occurred earlier today, our reporters have informed us that the truck belonged to the Tran industry Ltd, it had failed to break and crushed the researcher's car, this case has not been confirmed as the body of the truck driver was not found in the accident scene and there is no sign of him anywhere, family members haven't heard from him and a search patrol has been sent to find him, the police will conclude after he is found in the case just happened to be an accident or if it was a murder.
Sometime earlier.....
After leaving Thomson's facility Solace entered his limo and his driver drove away, "Rinnnng, running"
"Hello, who is this? He asked after picking up the call
"Might be the last voice you'll hear before your death" a cold voice said through the phone "it wasn't unexpected" Solace replied unfazed by the threat.
"Hahahaha, you're quite funny even in the face of death you still manage to keep your cool"
"You talk like it's a bad thing, I have lived my life to the fullest, although I still wouldn't want to die now" solace replied calmly
"You've got guts I'll give you that, but it can't save you"
"What a shame I never wanted it to, don't think killing me will stop people from finding out how to end this mess and there's nothing you can do about that" Hearing all the conversation from the front the driver couldn't keep his cool he was already sweating buckets 'what the fuck is he talking about, why did they have to bring up the topic of death all of a sudden am not ready to die, I have not been laid yet' the driver thought panicking
"Oh there is, killing you will buy me enough time" hearing him Solace laughed hysterically
"You are more stupid than I initially thought, you have no Idea, humans are unpredictable creatures that can adapt to all the conditions they find themselves in, I won't lie you are quite smart for thinking thus far, I am quite shocked one of my students has such a manipulative ability to be able to bend everything behind the scene
"How did you know?" the voice asked a little bit shaky this time
"You didn't cover your tracks well did you? Fortunately for you am the only one aware of this, the problem is that I can't tell which of you is doing this, out of the seven of you that I trained personally, it can't be Peter he died and that's same for Claven, Samuel wasn't so bright not to underestimate him but I can tell when one has good potentials that can take them far, Philip didn't put any interest into games so it can't be him either, James ran mad it's quite unfortunate that each of my students ended up tragically and it's partly my fault, now it brings me down to the last two Thomson and Jake, it's most likely Jake cause I can't see a reason why Thomson would be doing such even if he wanted to his too tender-hearted.
"Hahahaha, you're quite smart as always, but that's enough chit chat the trucks almost there," he said after listening to his speculation.
"you sound more confident now, so let's see it's either I jumped a number which is not possible cause am sure I had only seven students under me, or I made a speculation about you that was wrong, so that's why you sound confident that I can't find out who you are"
"As expected of one of the world's best researchers and psychologists, I shouldn't have called in the first place you're a huge headache in my plan, see you in hell because I know we both aren't making it to paradise"
'pooh' the large truck horned
"Well I don't know if you're wrong in that aspect," Solace said with a smile, and boom the truck hit his car crushing it, and a loud explosion echoed.
