Chapter 398: Chapter 392: What’s Going On?

“This…” Sophia Worthington furrowed her brow.

“Hm?” Finn Lewis raised an eyebrow, uttering a sound from his nose. At this, Sophia’s brows twitched slightly. Finn’s simple utterance put her under significant pressure, his aura was intimidating.

“Mr. Lewis, it’s not that I won’t tell you, it’s that I simply don’t know,” Sophia said, her voice filled with a tinge of fear.

“Don’t know? What does that mean?” Finn asked, his eyebrow raised as he stared intently at her.

“I don’t know why we’re being pursued,” Sophia quickly replied.

“Are you kidding me?” 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?

“Mr. Lewis, I wouldn’t dare deceive you. Honestly, I don’t know why we’re being pursued,” Sophia nervouslyo spoke.

“Do you even know who is after you?” Finn inquired again.

“I don’t,” Sophia paused before letting out an awkward laugh as she replied. Just as Finn was about to say something, Olivia’s voice resonated in his ear, “Young master, she’s telling the truth.”

Finn raised an eyebrow, “So how about the appearances of those who pursued you, you should at least remember that, right?” Finn switched to another question, and after asking, he added, “I am not referring to the man you accidentally bumped into back at the pharmacy; he’s a special forces soldier from the Flame Nation. He was merely a coincidence.”

Sophia looked bemused as she sat in place pondering upon Finn’s 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?

“I…I can’t remember.” Sophia finally uttered after a long pause.

“Young Master, she’s speaking the truth,” Olivia once again chimed in. Finn didn’t doubt Olivia’s abilities; although she wasn’t physically present, Jim Lewis was by Finn’s side. As Jim possessed the ability to scan human data, they needn’t question Olivia’s words. Even the most exquisite spy couldn’t lie under Olivia’s scrutiny unless they were indeed telling the truth.

But seriously? She couldn’t even recall the people who wanted her dead? She had forgotten? What in the world was going on?

“Young 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 wouldn’t be able to describe your appearance,” Olivia suddenly interjected into Finn’s thoughts.

Finn froze upon listening to Olivia’s words, “What do you mean by this?” Finn completely disregarded Sophia’s presence and spoke directly to Olivia.

“What I meant is, the enemy might possess a similar technology, which could result in this present situation,” Olivia rapidly replied.

“Ah? I, I don’t mean anything. Just that, I genuinely can’t remember. The enemy didn’t 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,” Sophia stuttered in response.

Finn knew Sophia must have misunderstood Olivia. Regardless, he didn’t 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 wasn’t the point of contention right now. Finn continued his questioning, “What about the rest? For instance, the specifics of the pursuit, were there any oddities?” fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Sophia looked at Finn, bewildered. After a long while, she shook her head, “I need some time to recollect.”

“Alright, you stay here for now. No one will bother you here. If you need anything, I’ll have someone assigned here. If you need anything, just contact them,” Finn spoke directly. Finishing his sentence, he promptly stood up and added, “I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave. By the way, are you sure that Bryski Miller had no hand in this?”

“Absolutely.” Sophia’s response was quite straightforward.

Finn nodded, turned around and left the room. As he closed the door behind him, he mumbled, “Summon a female T1000, let her guard here and do whatever they ask.”

“Yes, young master.” 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. “Get Olivia to name her,” Finn instructed as he walked towards his vehicle. Climbing into his car, Finn immediately asked, “Olivia, you just mentioned about them having similar technology. I don’t 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?”

“Well, it’s possible, but it comes with high requirements and the equipment can’t be made as compact as to go unnoticed. However, based on my examination of her body, it appears that she didn’t merely cross paths with a killer possessing such technology. I’m afraid someone has interfered with her brain as well,” Olivia promptly replied.

“What do you mean?” Finn was taken aback. Interference with her brain? Could a person still survive after their brain underwent interference?

“I mean, parts of her memory might have been erased. It’s 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, it’s rather unlikely. But the possibility of drugs can’t be ruled out,” Olivia clearly stated.

Finn was somewhat taken aback, “That doesn’t seem to make sense, does it?” If someone wanted to kill her, why would they use drugs to erase her memory instead of simply killing her? Wasn’t this too roundabout?

“Insufficient data; calculation not possible,” Olivia cut in crisply.

“Alright, investigate their past. Check thoroughly,” After giving it some thought, Finn instructed Olivia. If Bryski Miller wasn’t behind the pursuit, then he had a strong desire to find out who was. After all, he had saved them and such matters couldn’t be concealed for a long time. As they couldn’t 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.
